The case of the defendants, held by
Justice Kecne to the Circuit court, at
the close of The Sisley examination, was
taken before Judge Cothren for bail,
who has fixed the same at $1,000 each
Capt. Beebe was in the city Tuesday
and effected change in the form of the
bond, which as first drawn included the
three defendants and would thus cause
suri,ies to justify in amounts of $4,000
each. AS parties with that amount of
imincumbercd real estate are hard to
find. three separate bonds were drawn,
which Capt. Beebe took back with him
andif expectations prove true, the de-
PENDANTS will soon be at liberty.

IN another column will be found the
premium list offered by the Grant Coun-
ty Agricultural Society at their twenty
seventh annual fair to be held in this city
Oct. 4, 5, and G. As will be seen the
premiums are quite liberal and cover
every species of farm products. The So
ciety have, in fact, taken new grip
and determined that the coming fair
shall be, so far as they are concerned,
one Of the best ever held under the aus
pieces of the society. In preparing the
ground and offering a liberal premium
list which will make it worth the while
of every body having anything to exhib-
it to bring it here the society has done
all it can do. The remainder rests with
the people of the county themselves.
The annual fair is one of the events of
the year in every farming community
1t offers the agriculturist a chance to COM
pare notes with those of like pursuit in
other portions of the county. 1t gives
him chance to absorb new ideas, to
see the very best in the way of stock
and agricultural products of all kinds.
This is the main and primary object of
the fairs. Next comes the chance for a
few days recreation which sends the
farmer home better in mind and body
and therefore better able to wrestle with
the next years problems. A good fair
is only possible when there is a concen-
trated effort on the part of all. Hanging
back with the thought that ones neigh
Dor will bring in what he has got to ex-
hibit and there is no necessity on the
part Of ourselves to do anything will
not make a successful fair. Every man,
woman and child must put their own
shoulder to the wheel and bring some
thing for exhibition. If you haven any
thing beg, borrow, or steal something
and make show. Then come yourself
and bring your neighbor. That is the
way to make the fair successful. This
being the county fair it has a rightful
claim upon every citizen of the county,
irrespective of "racc, color, or previous
condition of servitude'' Last but not
least in the eyes of a great many are
the races which are down for the second
and third days. Liberal purses have
been offered and such as will draw
some of the best horses in the country
to compete for them, and visitors may
rightfully expect, with good weather,
to see some of the finest trials of speed
ever shown on the grounds of the soci-
ETY.. 1t should also be borne in mind
that the fair does not conflict with any
other in this section, and exhibitors can,
if they so desire, exhibit at other places
and then come here. The date fixed is
at time when we are the most likely
to have good settled weather and every
thing is favorable to a grand and boom
ing success. 1t is none TOO early to be-
gin making preparations. Look up the
best on the farm and get it ready to
bring in. and thus assist personally in
making the fair a success.

Institute, which is to held in that place

A MYSTERY IN HAGERsTOwN.


A special dispatch from Baltimore, Nd.
saws ga bout two weeks ago Miss Jennie
Boggs, a young lady about sixteen years OF
age, who for several years past has resided
In the family of Mrs. George Freaner, wife
of the late Hon. George Freaner, of Hagers-
town, Maryland, was awakened a. late
hour at night by noise in her bedroom,
Thinking it was one OF the inmates OF
the house, she asked who was there
Hearing no response, she arose from her
bed, walked to the door OF her room and
looked out in the passage, where she saw
man making hasty exit down the stairs. She
alarmed the household, but no clue to the
intruder could be 2scertatned. About onf
week ago the Yonng lady rose In the morn
ing and discovered that during the NIGH
some one had entered her room while she
was asleep and had cut all her hair from her
head. Upon informing Mrs. Freaner of what
had transpired, several friends of the family
were summoned, and an examination
of the premises was made. The lower doors
of the house were found open, as well as q
window. 1t is supposed that some person.
jealous Of Miss Boggs' magnificent hair.
which reached nearly to her feet, had en-
tered the dwelling, chloroformed the poor
girl, and robbed her of her tresses. The
mysterious affair caused a sensation In
the usually quiet town, and on Wednes-
day last this was greatly intensified when
1t became known that Miss Boggs
was seriously i'll. The best medical
aid was summoned, but despite their efforts
the girl died last night. She was born in
this city, and adopted by Mrs. Freaner
when quite young, and had received the
kindest treatment from Mrs. Freaner's
family. The cause of her death is said to
have been an acute attack of cholera
morbus, but the ge neral opinion is that she
died from grie. st the loss of her hair, as
she would sit from morning until evening
and complain of the nefarious act.
