He has seventeen inmates, some of the most desperate characters ever confined in our jail. Monday night they tried to enctice the guard into the cells by placing obstacles in the doors, preventing them from closing tight. Failing in this they set fire to a mattress in one of the cells.

While the sheriff has a kind and lenient disposition, he governs with a hand of mail when it becomes necessary. Censured by the Methodists.

The resolution after reciting that thr President intends to support the decision of attorne regarding the law, provides that our elerical delegates be instructed and our lay delegates requested to pre- pare and to present to the coming general conference resolutions con- demning President McKinley's official action in setting aside the ant teen law passed by con President McKinley is the Methodist Episcopal church, and as such was regarded as amenable to the discpline.
