HERALDSWEEKLY PHOTOGRAPH, ARRESTED FORPERJURY. ‘ 'The long delayed oommUsiouera re, port ha* at J**t been published aud it nuke* Intemtmg reading, One m*on for the delay the' examiners, Messrs, R. 'L. Dowdy and j). & Bradlute along with the Prosecuting Attorney Could not have access to all the papers until the investigation that was conducted by State Exahi iucr.Wuod was completed, Messrs. Howard, Gowdy and Bradfule have not agreed on all the points covered by the examinatien and in their re-port to Judge T, E; Scroggy ko state the differances. A t various times the Herald has stated that unnecessary work was being done -in the different offices for the purpose of obtaining fees. * During Sheriff' Beal’s, time Miss Edith Robinson drew $138,35 for indexing the Sheriff’s, foreign ex­ ecution,-docket, and Messrs, /Gbwdy ami Bradfute so state that the work was unnecssary. -Then these men state that, there is .no .authority for ’the payhmuTot $75 to Marcus Sfioup ,aud $80 JtoT. L. Magruder for ex­ penses as attorneys in the Hendrick­ son case, , - - Some of the papers over the county [ have tried to show that Mr- A Broad- ■ stone would not come in for a, share o f the criticism on the indexing, busi­ ness. as he was -only, mentioned in State Examiner Wood’s report,. The examiners of this 'report, which cov; erstime not investigated by the state examiner, have’ found, that Mr. A, Brofidstene has drawn $742.05 for transcribing and in conversation with -one of the examiners we find that it ,,, is their opinion that the index Was as good as'hew and hae every appear, ance of having been, torn from tbe . book, Whethcrthis was the caBe or _ not they. find, np reason for ..paying ' out $700 to transcribe'the book when it could bave been rebound for $10. The writing in the old book is said tq be clearer than that of the new. The examiners find 'that the amount al­ lowed for this work was far' in excess ot the amount allowed bylaw. The fees allowed for the collection of inheritance tax-, Darlington, Ken- djjrtl and Howard, $547.50 Was im­ proper though they find that an agreement was made to this effect be­ fore die present Prosecuting Attorney took bis seat. Consequently- the amount was allowed.. Mr. Howard , i* not acting;under this agreement at this time. . The examiners disagree on the pay­ ment Of $66.50 as expenses to Asa Little’for the collection of taxes but this is an old time custom and One meat people approve off. I t Is a great accommodation to the public when time to pay their taxes. - Greene county a t the present time has a heavy debt to . bear and the county commissioner* are face to face with a propoeition as to how the county business could be pulled through, A t the present time there is not the amount of money at hand there should be to meet the different obligations and this board will have to issue bonds, probably to the extent of fbO.ffOO, The present hoard is not responsible tor this large debt yet they are placed in a very close pod- thm when It come*to a business trans­ action. During tbe last few years the county has had men on this board, that instead of ignorance nr negligence, have allowed this debt to pile up but itwasObecause they were * little to “ smooth” and worked a “graft’' that was vtell covered. To show one Irurtanoe of tlm method 0 , F, Creters was allowed $285.80 for painting the county jail, a sum that is said to be exhorbitant. Then w# are told this contract was let without Wd* for the work, consequently com­ peting firm* had no opportunity to place a price; Onfc of the leading firms in Xenia will take the same work a t $100 today*' I t mast not be overlooked that Mr, Orators i* “fore­ man” over one of Boss Ed Schmidt’s “machines” in'oneof the city wards. Greens county tax payers always pay h r anything “Boss’*Schmidt gets hi* hand* on, ' - . The Judicial Convention which met in Xenia Thursday -morning-was well attended, there being delegatee present from Clinton, Montgomery, Vy>rron and Greene counties. -The convention was called to order by- H. L . , Smith, N. L, Miller, of Clinton county, tyas chosen chairman and J , C, Patterson, of Dayton,, was selected for temporary secretary. Attorney Charles Darlington -in ap eloquent speech nominated Hon. T, E, Bcroggy for a second) term upon thft-Common Pleas bench. Judge' Scroggy then responded to this, warm, invitation with grace apd dignity and most heartily, thanked the convention for tbe services to.which he had. been' recalled and the honor centered upon hime. ' 1 - The five years tha Judge has. ocpu-' pied the bench have certaiuly -been years that will he looked to by not only members of the bar, but by citi­ zens In general, for during .this time Judge Scroggy by bis decisions has,' brought honor and glory not paly on himself but upon tbe office he bolds. There never has been a judge of the court of Common Pleas iu the history of Greene’county who ask for a sec­ ond term, that has come before a con *traxvt+if\n..t. “ilia > ventiou -with tbe record Judge Scroggy brought on Thursday. Dur­ ing his .term of office only fifty-eight cases were taken, to higher courts, three of the^e were -.reversed, three were reversed in part and affitmed-in part and in fifty-two he was Sustained throughout, Judge Scroggy’s qualf ficatiohs with his ability to thoroughly understand the. law and moral cour­ age for- the, enforcement of the ■ same has paused the people of this county to praise him in -highest, terms. The Herald extends congratula­ tions not onfy to Judge Scroggy in that lie.has received, a second nomina­ tion but that the citizens ot this county will have his services for an­ other-term of five years as Judge-of the Common Pleas CoUrt.f GREAT HORSE SALE ThO reputation of Green© county as a county for standard bred stock was extended Thursday in the public sale of botees at Oak Lawn farmownedby W.

Crouse, „uman who lias been in active business life for several years, was born in 1848 and is a na tivc of Duchess county, New York. Like most all men in commercial lifo be bad his eitriy training on a farm. In about the year "1865 Mr, -Crouse, with his father’s family, moved to the West where they engaged in farming foir several years. Having -passed through here on their western tour He took a fancy to this count­ ry ' and returned here ' in 1868 when he ,was married to Miss Natlier- ien Gillaugh, who lived near Osborn, -0. In the year 1870 Mr. Crouse opened a meat store in the room occu­ pied by the present firm and all these years has attended strictly to business which, is proven by-what he has gath­ ered about him in this nature-Of prop­ erty* The business having grown to good proportions, Mr. Grouse took his son* Gharies, into the firm in Sep­ tember 1900 and it is -tfaisTfilm we h*ve with us* today. He lowus a very pretty and attractive country home on the Columbus pike at the edge of the corpo'rati'on.y Hisl other property is that-in which he is located and the Lowry block which he pur­ chased in September 1001. He has not only proven his worth in cummer* cial circles hut in his lodge and church work as well. Be is a member ot the I. O. 0 . -F. lodge and also of the M, E . church in whibn ho is steward* trustee and a member of and treasurer ot the Official Board. He is public spirited and is held in the highest esteem by all whoknow him* Cedar- viliians can boast of no more honor­ able citizen than Charles W. Crouse. FIREATW1LBERFORCE. During the forenoon of yesterday Wilberforce was visited by a fire, the loss Of which will amount to $10000. Iu this loss there are eight cottages. The fire started in a vacant second story room and the origin is unknown. A high wind prevailed at the time and it was by the hardest of work that other property was saved. The Xenia fire department was called- upon but could do nothing other than send out Aladder wfigon. Thelosg was fully covered by insurance, -T Constable Patrick McNeary, of Xenia, came here teat Saturday morn­ ing and arrested Joseph Litter and W, A. Heuderfcon, charging them: with perjury. The nri'este are the re­ sult of i|?e local option fight between Xenia’s Committee Of One Hundred and her saloonkeepers., Thepe two men were largely responsible for tbe arrest, and conviction of Michael Car­ rol, Jr., for selling liquor contrary to tew. In order to even matters Carrol filed affidavits against them. Their bearing was set to r Wednesday before Squire Barnes, and eacsh gave bond for $500, signed by Atty. Milo Snod­ grass, Dra. B. R, McClellan and W. H.- Finley, This plan $f fighting the iomperaucc people will ..Only, have a tendency to urge them to file more eases for they certainly J§Svean abund­ ance of evidence. I t %ras rumored among the whiskey element that these men could not furnish bond for their appearance, and to find such names for surity as'are on the kond the cape must look discouraging to those who advocate the “ wet0 cause. , The perjury case .came before Squire,Barnes, Wednesday and the two men were bottnd jtiver to , the Grand Jury, their bonds; being fixed af $500 and were signed, by E. W. Hagar, Dr. B; R. MqOlellan, Dr, W. H. Finley and Milo Snodgrass. The case was an interesting'hue and will have considerable hearii^; on the fight that'is being pu t' up % the saloon element.- I t can be sftlitbat Carroll failed to prove even 'oneftatenaeut yet the men were bound over. The com­ mittee have little fear fha t1 the case will go farther than the Grand Jury. At any rate more affidavits‘will .be filed in a few days. . Among those who were subpbsn’ed'Jrqm here y re Messrs. J . D, Williamson, J; R, Cooper, H. M. Barber, j . H . Wol­ ford, Win. Northup and*John Ross.

The two classes met ot the home of Miss Bessie Sterrett und then proceeded to Professor Brown’s home. The young folks took refreshments with them, so the evening was one greatly enjoyed. Flinch was the popular mode of enter­ tainment. Mrs. Brown, mother of the professor,'.gave each a souvenir of burned .leather which -represented a four-leaved clover, Not ouly -wan the surprise on Professor Brown a success butthe two classes were alsosurprised. Part of the refreshments were on table in the dining room and some prankish boys, who were aware of what was to take place, watched fbr their opportunity and gained entrance to the dining room Where, after cut­ ting the cake in two parts, helped themselves./ The boys only cared for one half so left the other for the in­ vited guests. ' , , HON. W. S. M’KINNON. The Republican party has given to Ohio citizens such wise and patriotic administrations In the past that It has seemed Impossible, each succeeding year, to eclipse the records theretofore made.' But the party has been prog­ ressive and expansive, and it has made Issues year in and year out th a t have redounded to the good of the whole people. . - ' . ■Within a few months the last pond­ ed indebtedness of the state will he wiped but, and instead of a depleted treasury and' an immense debt—the heritage left by the opposition some years back—-the state will be wholly out of dobt and,'will have-thousands of dollars in cash in the great treas­ ury vaults In the state house. .This fail tbe people will be called Upon to "elect a man to take charge of the state’s funds, ..and Tn the natural course of events it will devolve upon the Republican party to select the man who will Administer the most lm- W, S. HcKINNOtb important office of treasurer of state, Only two candidates are before the Republicans for this nomination, Hon. W. S. McKinnon, speaker of th e house of representatives, of Ashtabula, and County Treaauror Kelson A. Sims ot Columbus. . ' During the regular session, Mr. Me- Kinnon presided over the house, with firmness and yet with fairness. The schooling he received there stood him In good stead when it came to the ex­ traordinary session late In the sum­ mer. This extra session was of tho greatest importance to- every citizen o t the state, for before Its adjourn­ ment a new municipal code was en­ acted into law. . Tha opposition went into" the extra session With the intention of Impair­ ing the work of tho Republican major­ ity, and of enacting a code th a t would not reflect credit on the state admlnls- tratlon. * It was fortunate th a t the speaker Who presided a t this history-making extra session was firm and fearless, He met every obstacle se t up by tha opposition, and had i t not been for his power and force as a leader the sea- klon would have been many weeks longer, and perhaps the code bill en­ acted Into a law would not have met with the approval Of anyone. . In th a Sev mty-fourth general as­ sembly Mr. McKinnon was chairman of the hodse finance committee. lie exhibited a rare knowledge of the State’s finances* and his influence tor good with th a t committee was as pat­ en t a* was his power a t tho^extra Ses­ sion. As chairman of the finance com- mlttee he worked indefatigably and succeeded in keeping down the ex- pendithtes for the maintenance ot state institutions to a point commen*. suikte with the satisfactory adminis­ tration of the buslnes* of the state. Ho doubt Mr, McKinnon’s objections to extravagance, both in the Seventy- third and Seventy-fourth general as- gembllee* as well a s in the Seventy- fifth general assembly, assisted mtv terinlly in giving to Ohio a parse welt filled and no liabilities th a t can hot be met promptly when due, l a hie private life Mr, MoKlaaoft h a t been a successful bag iaeu man., He h u t been eontervhtlve, thowth $rt* grerndve/ and he is stttei * man a t weald satbriaotorily serve th e people In any eiKe*, I S the old Suit looking a little rusty, sort offrayed around the edges?
