On the night of Juno 27 an attempt was made to burn the court houao at Mnuien and the county treasurer said ho had been aBBaultcd and about 19,000 of the county money taken. He ban now confessed that ho took the money and sot the ( ire to hide his guilt , lie took the ollicers out in a corn- liold and dug up $0,775 of the stolen monoy. The court house in Hamilton county burned under very similar circumstances a few years ago. Osoeola Record. The fueionists ringslors socms to liavo overlooked some of their faithful members in apportioning out the candidates for oflico. There are Hovoral who have boon with the movement from the first who have not been rewarded , while others ICHH faithful have been favored time and again and are again slated for a fat position. An instance in point is that of county judge. Such men as Jesse Gaudy who commenc ed to beat the drum for populism in its palmy doys. When the Cat crook band aud Huso Brown were in evidence at every school house and on every etreot corner , crying 'down with the capitalists , " "bust the banks and burn the bonds , " JCSHO was either there or had his baao drum in the front ranks. Others loss faithful have fattened at the public crib while Jesse has been put off with broken promises. In all tairuess , wo think , before any person is taken up , Jesse should bo remembered. Ho has boon admit ted to the bar aud has won a num ber of cases in court , showing his ability for the position of county judge on the fusion ticket. Yet ho has boon completely ignored by the ringutors and ho has not boon given a friendly mention. Ho would make an ideal pop officer in any ollioo aud wo insist that unless ho is placed on the lickot tins fall that the party will bo guilty of rank injustice. The conditions of the crop are anything but flattering in this county at the present timo. The spring \\hoat ia practically destroy ed by the olnnoh bugs and the oatH are being damaged by the grass- hopporn. The corn is in a healthy state and could stand another week or ton days of excessive boat , such as wo have boon enduring tof the past two wneks , but in many tiolds the chinch bugs have loft the wheat and have commenced destruction of the corn. Where wheat fields were next to the corn this is in variably the caso. Some tiolds are aiUiotod worse than othors. Farmers have resorted to various methods to stop ( ho invasion of the bugs , but as yet nothing has proved entirely - tirely successful. Fortunately there are a number of cornfields where there in no wheat oloso and they have no chinch bugs , As much of the corn is tassolliug uuloss a good rain comes soon the ybld will bo greatly lessened. Those who had winter wheat or rye are more fortunate aa it was harvested before the chinch bugs got in their work. Hereafter most of the wheat sown iu this county will be Bowotl in the fall. There are a good ninny of the farmers who du > ijlaro that they will new no more wheat but will give tliuir tilno to corn and fltook. While some will increase thi'ir dairy Htock and give their attention more ( o dairy farming. .Inn Hartley Out on I'arnlc Tlii ) Siiiui.iy papciH nut oitnucd that Gov. Savage had paroled Joe Bartloy , the ox.stato treasurer de faulter , for two months , lie had boon tsontonocd by Judge Baker to the penitentiary for twenty yearf and had only nerved or four years of the time. The governor intimates that the conditions on which the parole was granted will bring about a restitu tion , at loasla part of the funds omhi'zzoiod , yet he does not so explicitly state. This would imply that his parole is in the nutnro of a business proposition , whici the governor thinks the people of the ritato will approve , if the conditions are complied with. As the parole is for months if the * only two , con- 'ditionH are not complied with , Bartloy outi and i\a doubt will bo returned to the penitentiary. From the Btan'dpoint of im-roy , and busi- nese , the governor's action will moot the cpproyal of a largo ele ment of the state , but from apoliti o l view it was not good policy. Yet the courage of a man who can rise above policy and public opinion to do what ho believes is right and Jor the best interests of the public is to be commended. There has always boon a general belief that Bartloy was not alouo to blame. This act of the governor may re sult in determining more on that lino. County Central Committee Meeting. The Republican County Central Committee- mot in the oflico of Mor gan & Skillman last Saturday after noon. The mooting was called to order by Chairman Morgan. The al- tondanco was the largest had for years. The date of the County convention was sot for Saturday , August 10 , at 10 o'clock a. m , , at Broken Bcw. The basis of repre sentation for the election of delegates - gates was ono dolegate-at-large from each precinct and one for oyory ton votes and five or major fraction of ton cast for E. Royso at the last general election. It was recommended that the primar ies in the several preuincte. bo hold on Friday or Saturday previous to the county convention , as the com- mitteomau in each procmot may doom boat. On motion it was dooidod that the delegations present at the con vention from the sovrral precincts bo authorised to cast the full vote of the delegation from their re spective districts , aud that no prox ies bo allowed. The following resolution was adopted : WnitiiKAs , It has boon the cus tom in former years to elect the oommittoemou from the various precincts at the time of holding the primaries and their term of otlico to commence at the close of the convention ; and WiiKitKAM , Wo belieyo ilfor the best interests of the party and that better work can bo accomplished if said committeemen would have longer time to got acquainted with their duties ; therefore , bo it RKSOLVKD , That wo recommend that the committecmou elected this year hold over until after the general - oral election in 1002 ; aud that the term of oflico of their successors elected at the primaries in 1002 , commence 'on the day after the election in 1002. lIUltL.EMOTOM 11 OUT 1C.
