REMAINS OF OFFICERS' ROW.
Crow Indian Agency. Mont., Nov. 21.—The Crows have come Into their
own again. What was once the old site of Fort Custer, one of the most fa
mous military posts of the Northwestern frontier, where the United States
troops for a Quarter of a century held in check the fierce red men of the
mountains and plains, has reverted to the original owners of the lands, and
the Crow Indians now gather to discuss the ancient glories of their tribe.
The parade ground has become an Indian village. The barracks have
been dismantled and hauled away to be used in constructing Indian huts. The
commanding general’s fine residence Is now the domicile of old “Whlte-
Earth-on-the-Forehead,” who stables his favorite pony in the grand recep
tion room where formerly gathered the military chieftains of the white
error.
Already more than one hundred Indian shacks have been constructed
from the materials taken from the old fort, and daily the red men gather
round the historic old ruins, fighting over some choice piece of timber.
It is the irony of fate that the site of the old fort, wrested from the
Indians by force of arms, should in time return to the keeping of the iden
tical band of Indians, from whom It was taken, and who to-day are making
their camp fires Just where their tepees stood before Gen. Custer was massa
cred, and before the permanent inva-sion of the “Crow country” by the wh
Ite soldiers. AusJ*
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
Grand Jury of Superior Court, Kail
Term, 1904.
To His Honor, George T. Cann, Judge
of Superior Court, Chatham County:
The grand jury for the fall term
of the Superior Court submits this, its
general presentments: It has investi
gated by committees the various de
partments of the county government;
has examined the books of the county
treasurer, tax collector and sheriff and
of the magistrates in the various dis
tricts; has inspected the public roads,
drainage and convict camps and the
county buildings and has visited a part
of the public schools. Owing to the
fact that it understands the books of
the County Commissioners are to be
examined by expert accountants at the
beginning of the coming year, there
was no attempt to go over the books
of that office. The books of the treas
urer were found correct and in order.
In the tax collector’s books there were
some entries which the committee did
not understand. The grand jury is
of the opinion that the system of book
keeping in that office is to some extent
faulty. The records of the sheriff’s
office show a condition of affairs dif
ficult to understand.
The grand jury believes there Is en
tirely too much laxity In the collection
of executions for overdue specific
taxes. Fi. fas. were found for a large
sum, probably thousands of dollars, a
large part of w r hich the sheriff advises
w’ill probably never be collected, part
ly on account of the imperfect laws
governing the collection of specific
taxes. The grand jury is informed that
It is useless for the sheriff to attempt
to satisfy executions In many instances
as the delinquents have no property on
which he may legally levy. In the
case of an execution for the collection
of a liquor dealer’s tax, the only prop
erty liable is the contents of the bar,
which In few instances Is sufficient to
cover the amount of the tax. The
grand jury understands it to be a cus
tom to allow liquor dealers to do busi
ness before the tax is paid, and It is
of the opinion that this practice should
cease, and that no authority to do
business shall be granted until the full
amount of the specific tax has actually
been paid. In view of the limited time
and opportunity afforded grand Jury
committees for examining the books
and reoords of the various county of
fices, this grand jury recommends the
employment of experts to make stated
examinations.
The Committee on Magistrates found
the books of all the magistrates cor
rect, and kept in accordance with law.
The grand Jury recommends legisla
tion, increasing the fee 9 of the magis
trates In the districts beyond the cor
porate limits of the city to conform
to the fees allowed such officers with
in the city limits.
An examination of the county jail
reveals a condition of affairs that, in
the opinion of the grand Jury calls for
Immediate remedy. We find that lu
natics. so adjudged by the Ordinary’s
Court, and confined In the Jail, are not
removed to ihe State Asylum as
promptly as they should be, the fault
being, not with the county, but with
the state authorities. There are now
In the Jail (or were on Nov. 22). two
negro women who were adjudged in
sane Sept. 13 and Oct. 4, respectively.
The condition of one Is most pitiable.
The woman Is blind, Is a complete phy
THE CURE OF WOMEN'S DISEASES
tDr. Hathaway, who is well and favorably known to you
all, would like to see nt hla office, or have a letter from,
ladies who are afflicted with any disease peculiar to their
sex. He would especially like to know of such as have
doctored with a family doctor for a long time, or who
have been constantly buying advertised remedies in drug
stores, without, of course, deriving anything more than a
temporary benefit, even if that.. To such as these Dr.
Hathaway has a message that is cheering— a treatment
that is perfectly curative. The doctor has as many pa
tients among women as among men. and he has for years
studied them In public and private hospitals and in his
own practice, and from the success he Is having in cur
ing their diseases he firmly believes that no woman can
make a mistake in confiding her case to him. There is
no super-critical examination of the person, no inter-
J. XEWTON ference with customary habits, no publicity. There are

sical wreck and should have been
promptly removed to the asylum. We
are informed that permission was re
ceived from the state authorities Nov.
22 for the removal of one of the wom
en. We are also Informed that one
female lunatic recently died in Jail,
where she had been for four months.
The lunatics are kept on an upper floor
of the jail along with the other wom
en prisoners. We recommend that this
praotice be discontinued, if possible,
and that such means as humanity de
mands be taken for the better care of
the unfortunate insane.
The grand jury also recommends a
change In the fare of the Jail prison
ers which consists of a cup of coffee
and loaf of bread for breakfast and
a loaf of bread and bowl of soup, con
taining about six ounces of meat, for
dinner. This fare, it is understood, is
unvaried throughout the year. It is
recommended that some slight change
be made, this being possible, in the
opinion of the grand jury, without in
curring additional expense. The con
dition of the jail building generally is
good. The Court House needs no im
provement. The grand jury commends
the consideration which prompted the
placing of beds In the petit jury room
for the use of jurors detained over
night.
The principal public roads of the
county are In excellent condition, with
the exception of some repair work,
which is now in progress.
The convict camps are In good con
dition with the exception of the bed
ding in camps Nos. 2 and 3, which is
filthy in the extreme. There is very
little sickness in the camps. The
county drains, ditches and waterways
are open and in good condition.
The public schools visited by the
grand Jurv are In a most satisfactory
condition. The work of the teachers is
thorough and the discipline is all that
could be desired.
While recognizing the humanitarian
Interest of the court in its charge, ad
vising an investigation of the practi
cability of the use of one or more
in each of the public school buildings
as places for physical recreation and
mental Improvement for boys, as a
partial remedy for street loafing, and
indorsing the suggestion of the court,
the grand jury is advised that the
school authorities do not favorably
consider the plan and 1 do not deem It
feasible.
The members of this grand jury ac
knowledge the clear exposition by the
court as to their duties, and have en
deavored to discharge these duties to
the best of their ability. They also ac
knowledge and appreciate the courtesy
of the court officials.
They respectfully recommend the
publication of these presentments In
the dally papers.

HOTEL ATTACHED.
Famous Plnnt Hostelry at Tninpn Is
In the Courts.
Tampa, Fla., Nov. 25.—Mayor Salo
monson has attached the Tampa Bay
Hotel, with the aid of a portion of
the police force, working under their
nominal authority as deputy sheriffs.
This was in the nature of an attach
ment to secure possession of the prop
erty which he is reported to have re
cently purchased. The step was taken
just about the dinner hour, the guests
being seriously discommoded by the
action, and the whole affair quickly
assumed the size of the usual Tampa
sensation.
Tu a short while Scott & Son had
made a 150,900 bond for the property
and were again In peaceful possession
of the property, while the crowds con
tinued to toss verbal bouquets at May
or Salonionson.
Recently It was reported that the
hotel property had been purchased by
F. A. Salonionson, representing him
self and a syndicate. Within the lust
few years juuuy reports have been
In circulation about the sale of this
property, and hut little local attention
was paid to the last reported sale, es
pecially when It was noticed that pos
session did not change.
One storv Is to the effect that the
Hcotts, who have 'been In possession
of Ihe property for the last two years,
have mild a considerable sum on It
end unless they are considered In the
J new sale, they seem to be In a posi
tion to hold affairs at a standstill. It
Its their claim on the property which
hss now thrown It Into court. The
•lory In contraction with this Is that
iMWit y Min Mill JMfuji given
permission to remove from the hotel
certain articles of private ownership,
but which had been used in the ho
tel. It is said that when the Scotts
traded for the hotel it was for the
property as it stood at that time, and
this included the articles which were
afterwards removed by Mrs. Plant un
der permission. It is stated that these
articles were valued at about $90,000,
and that unless they were returned
or a deduction made, the trade would
hang fire in some direction.
THE OLDEST LIVING THING,
Said to Bea Huge Cypres* Tree
0.200 Years Old.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
“The statement recently made that
there are yews in England which are
the oldest living things on earth,” Mr.
Thomas C. Ireland said. “Is not cor
rect.
“These yews are old, very very old;
there is no doubt about that; some of
them were stalwart trees even when
Caesar landed on these shores. There
is one now standing in the church yard
at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which De
candole, nearly a century ago, proved
to the satisfaction of botanists to be
over twenty-five centuries old, and an
other at Hedsor, in Buclas, which is
3,240 years old, 1 low Deoandole ar

circumference each year. He proved
this after an Investigation extending
over several years, and w'e know now,
100 years later, that his deductions
were correct. The old yew at Hedsor
has a trunk twenty-seven feet in di
ameter, proving its great age, and it is
in a flourishing, healthy condition now,
like its brother at Fortingal.
“Their years are few, though, com
pared with those of the trees I had in
mind when I made my first assertion
that the statement printed about them
in a scientific journal was incorrect. In
one chapter of his writings Humboldt
refers to a gigantic boabab tree in
Central Africa as the ‘oldest organic
monument’ in the world. This tree has
a trunk twenty-nine feet in diameter,
and Adamson, by a series of careful
measurements, demonstrated conclu
sively that it had lived for not less
than 5,150 years.
Still it is not the oldest organic mon
ument in the world, as Humboldt de
clared, for now Mexican scientists have
proved that a huge cypress tree stand
ing In Chepultepec, with a trunk 118
feet and 10 Inches in circumference, is
older that it, older, too, by more than
1,000 years—for it had been shown, as
conclusively as these things can be
Shown, that its age is about 6,260 years.
To become impressed with wonder over
this one has only to dwell on that
duration for a little while in thought.
“Yte It’ls not so remarkable when
one stops for a moment to remember
that, given favorable conditions for its
growth and sustenance, the average
tree will never die of old age—its death
is merely an accident. Other younger
and more vigorous trees may spring up
near it, and perhaps rob its roots of
their proper nourishment; insects may
kill it, floods or winds may sweep it
away, or its roots may come in con
tact with rock and become so gnarled
and twisted, because they have not
room to expand In their growth, that
they literally throttle the avenues of
its sustenance; but these are accidents.
If such things do not happen a tree
may live on for century after cen
tury, still robust, still flourishing, shel
tering, with Its widespread branches,
the men and women of age after age.
A bill to prohibit juvenile cigarette
smoking has passed its second read
ing in the South Australian Legisla
ture, and will probably become law.
The age below which smoking is pro
hibited is fixed at 16 years.
