A daring robbery took place this after.
noon, between IL and O'Clock, at R. H.

At that hour Mr.. Robinson had gone on
Change and the book-keeper locked the in.
ner door of the safe, putting the key in the
drawer of desk. The outer door of the
safe was left unlocked. The book-keeper
then locked the Office door and went to

Shortly after the book-keeper had left,

subsequently visited number of mills,
and was made an honorary member of the
Pacific Coast Pioneers. The General made
speech, saying that nothing he met with
abroad gave him such pleasure
as the reception here. True, his greeting
there was honest and hearty, butit showed
merely the esteem felt for our country BY
foreign nations. 1t would have been quite
different a century ago. Now we are re-
garded as the most powerful nation on the
earth. We have much which European
Nations have not; we have a population
which as yet does not threaten to crowd
any inhabited district, or exhaust the pro.
dnctiveness of the soil; We have an extern
sive soil and numerous undeveloped re-
sources to exhaust before our population
becomes so dense as to make the rails
ing sufficient to live on a serious
problem. In this respect we have great
promise for the future. The fact of the
matter is, we are more thought of abroad
than we think Of ourselves, yet at the same
time we think considerable Of ourselves
and we in fact are q little conceited over
our advantage. The newspapers and poll
ticians, however, think there are a good
many bad people in the world, and that
things are OH the verge of ruin; but Iguess
we are all right. Still we can be improved.
If was not an American would not dare
talk this way for fear of being mobbed. /

THE COUNTY CLERK.
Some Ugly Rumors Against L. @. Bernard

Some Ugly Rumors Against L. g. Bernard.
The assertion has been made that County
Clerk L. G. Bernard has not been attending
to his official duties as he ought to. 1t Is
alleged that Mr.. Bernard is behind in his
accounts and that there are grave fears that
the treasury will not hold out.
This, it is said, Is due to the heavy ex-
penses incurred by Bernard in his last
campaign. Another report is that Bernard
has ordered all of his employees to turn
over their last months salary to him to
square up his expenses.
All these charges are of course denied by
Bernard. and the matter is now in the
hands of the Fee Commissioner, Mr.. Drew.
An order was issued by the Court me
time ago in the case of Mary Riley against
Enoch I. Carson. The case was tried in
Judge JohnstOn's Court, and pending the
decision the County Clerk held the amount
in litigation. stated to be about $1,000. Mr..
J. G. Riley says the money was trust
fund, and while he himself had confidence
enough in Bernard, he deemed it his duty
to see the money safe.
Thereupon the attorneys of both sides,
Wnlsin & Worthington for Carson, and
Jordan, Jordan & Williams for Riley, agreed
that the money would be safer in the hands
of the Sheriff, and Judge Johnston issued
an order accordingly. The order was handed
to the Sheriff last evening, and was by him
presented to Bernard. The latter pr, missed
to verify the account, and turn over the
sum this morning.
Mr.. Bernard, this morning, as soon as the
entries in the Riley-Carson case were made
on the appearance docket, verified the ac-
count and turned over the money.
Mr. Bernard puts the source of the charges
made against him to some Of the men whom
he recently discharged.

timony and on being questioned by Coro-
ner Carrick whether he wanted to make a
statement. he stoically or rather clannishly
said he had nothing to say.
The Coroner rendered the following per-
tinent verdict:
II do find that deceased came to his death
from fractures of the skull, the same being
inflicted with a hatchet in the hands OF
William Frei. also find that the murder
was premeditated, deliberate, and marked
with unusual atrocity."
The testimony taken before the Coroner
was submitted to Prosecuting Attorney
Drew, and the late Grand Jury, in spite OF
all this and the murderer's stat atements,
found no bill of indictment against Frei.
Prosecutor Drew, being asked about the
matter, said he could bring no testimony
before the Grand jury TO convict the man.
He must, therefore, discharge him as soon
as Frei's counsel asked for it. This will
probably be done this evening.

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

Annual Meeting Of the Grand Order Of Ohio.
Last evening reception was given at the

stated the object OF the meeting. Mr..

extended hand of welcome to the Grand
Patriarch, and Mrs. Bishot, the Grand
Patriarch. made short address in reply.
Mrs. A. NJ. Collins, the Missionary of the
Order, then spoke for a few minutes on the
growth of the temperance movement.
Music was furnished by the choir.
At the business session this morning the
Committee on Subordinate Orders and the
State of the Order submitted reports show
ing that the order was in healthy condi-
ton, and suggesting ways and means for its
improvement.
A communication was received from Mr..
Jos. Kinsey. urging upon the body the
necessity of taking some action in regard to
the taxation Of liquor. This called out a
long and spirited discussion, en-
gagged in by Rev. II. ]. Mellisb, E. J.
Morris, A. M. Collins, NJ. Dustin, DID,, W.
E. Dbble and Gen. G. w. Mcneil, who
spoke IN favor of taking some action, and
by Gen. 8. F. Cary, who opposed it. The
discussion resulted in the adoption of the
following resolutions
Resolved, That while the total prohibi-
ton Of the liquor traffic is undoubtedly
the great end which temperance people
should seek in view as the ultimate object
of attainment, yet, Notwithstanding we
believe that while public opinion
permits the traffic in ardent spirits to be
AIRED on, repressive and exemplary
tax should be laid upon the traffic, so that
hose who vend and those who buy such
liquors for drinking purposes should be
compelled to bear large share of the pectl-
MARY burdens which the unholy traffic lays
upon the community for the support of the
jails, courts of justice, officers of the law,
alms-houses, lunatic asylums and other in
stituti0ns which are necessitated by the
traffic.
Resolved, That the tax laid upon this
unholy traffic is in no sense to be regarded
as license or legal permission that the
business is proper one, but rather the re-
verse.
Resolved; That we have as a contribu-
ton to better understanding of the ques-
ton of the relations Of the mo
license clause of our constitution
to legislation the opinion of the
eminent attorneys, Messrs. Matthews,
Ramsey & Matthews,as to the constitution
ality of imposing restrictive and exem-
plary tax upon the liquor traffic, which
public opinion now tolerates and sane
tions.
Resolved, That in connection with this
restrictive tax the Adair Law should be re-
enacted, allowing the option t. every local
community to prohibit the liquor business
entirely in their midst"
