The BARLEY jury reached a verdict
at 1905 o'clock Tuesday morning, after
being out since $3.50 p. IN. Monday.
The jury found the defendant guilty
as charged In the third count of the
information, of converting the none
Of the state to his own use as an in
dividual while holding the Office Of
state treasurer, the amount of the en-
bezzlement being fixed at $751; ,ss4.75.
The verdict ~convicts BARLEY of the
embezzlement Of $751;, ss4. rs, instead of
the amount of S2o1 ,ss4.75 with which
he was charged, the jury allowing
BARLEY credit for the check for $780,.
900 drawn on his personal account in
the Omaha National bank June 4, 1895,
and payable to his account as state
in the same bank, and which
the defense traced through that bank
TO the First National bank of Lincoln,
md thence to six state repositories.
The jury was out seventeen hours
and took so many ballots that no count
was taken Of the total number.
After the jury had been discharged
Judge Baker remanded BARLEY to the
county Jail for sentence. Attorney
Mahoney objected to this procedure
and offered bail for Bartley's appear
ance, until a motion for a new trial
could be heard. Judge Baker, how
ever, said that bail was intended to
relieve persons before their trial, when
they are under the law presumed to
be innocent, but a verdict of guilty
sets that assumption aside and he be-
lieved 1t was out of his province to &C
cept bail.
lie was taken in charge by Sheriff
Mcdonald in person, and will be given
one OF the separate rooms at the Jail.
lie was not removed to the Jail for
some time as he asked the privilege Of
sending some kilograms and writing
letters. 1t is probable that
his meals will be furnished him from
the outside, as his friends will not al
low him to be subjected to the ordi-
nary Jail fare.
BARLEY did not appear to be much
m owed by the verdict, apparently ex-
pecting 1t. To q reporter he said:
These are the happenings of q life,
must be taken as they come"
BARLEY has three days in which to
a motion for a new trial. This
time will expire Friday, and il is possi-
BILE that the motion will be argued
Saturday next.
In case the motion for a new trial is
o%verruled, sentence will be passed.
The penalty Is from one to twenty-one
years Imprisonment and q fine of twice
the amount of the embezzlement.
BARLEY is confined in the Isoutheast
corner room of the Jail. He showed
little or no nervousness ut his confine-
ment, which will probably continue
only a few days. as, in ease the pro-
posed motion for a new trial is over
the case will at once be appealed
and bail will be offered the supreme
pending the appeal.

Charles Wesley.
:
Christian Advocate

The Wesley family was large enough to
contain an assortment of people. 1t in
cluded nine children, nearly all Of whom
were In some way remarkable While John
is regarded as the founder of MethOdiSm,
his father, mother and several of his BROTH
erS and sisters gave him moral support.
Charles Wesley remained at his brother
side as long as the latter confded his work
to the foundation and education of so
ciety' whose field should be the Church of
England, without any plans for separat ton
from that church. Charles, ana not john
is said to be the first upon whom the "op-
cast He was the first to celebrate the sac
raments apart from the church, the first to
hold services in regular church according
to, the doctrine which the brothers and
Charles is best known as 'the poet of
Methodsm." Nearly 5000 of his hymns
were printed and it is estimated that at
least one-half as many more remained in
manuscript. He was thorough scholar
He seems to have read the classics in the
original as other people read them in Eng
ish. There is little room for doubt that he
absorbed the classics for it is recorded that
he could repeat the Aeneid and other poems
from memory. No one can doubt his sense
of humor, for there is a story that he used
to repeat Virgil'S lines rapidly in Latin
when he suddenly became angry, lest he
should say too much and say it too in
tenSely Charles was q singular compound
of the prOgreSSiOnlSt and the conservatives
1t would appear that he opposed in turn
almost every one of his brothers wide prof.
ects, and was a great suckler for eccle-
SiasticiSm. On the other hand, he endured
much for Methodism, being mobbed, ar
rested and indicted as "a vagabond' and
even as a traitor. On one occasion he was
arrested because he prayed that God would
bring his baniShed ones home, which to
his jealous enemies meant that he asked
God to return Charlie over the water to
the throne of England, and that he adhered
to the Stuart dynasty.

DOOM OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.
1t Has Served Its Purpose Well, but Is
Soon to Retire.
Leslie's Weekly.

LeSne S weekly.
About one hundred years ago Oliver
Evans, the inventor, was rash enough to
say that the time would come when his
hlgh-pressure locomotive would take people
after breakfast in Washington and get
them to New York for supper. The idea
of covering over two hundred miles in this
time was of course preposterous, and he
was the butt of many a joke. But when the
rails were finally laid, which was not so
many years ago, the passengers soon be-
gan to want more speed. and thus it has
gone Americans accept inventions as
marvels for a whole day sometimes, and
then demand more. Some people have
been known to complain of the telephone
But the locomotive has been a faithful
old friend. Locomotive Engineering goes
so far to say it was always kept equal
to any speed requirements put upon it, -
and that the only obstacles to fast trains
half-century ago were the tracks and the
lack of signals. and the absence of efficient
means of stopping trains. How human
this sounds. If we only had the right sort
of tracks, the proper warn ings, and the
power to stop. how many of us would ar
rive at our destination in -ime to sup on
success and prosperity instead of getting
side-tracked or wrecked.
1t is the fact. however. that the locomo-
tive has kept strictly up with the times,
and few of care to travel faster than
on the limited trains that allow to break
our fast in Washington and take luncheon
in New York-a beggerly five hours of
smooth motion that could easily be re-
duced to four if the railroads wanted to do
it. But the faithful old puller varying in
size from the SnItlng IL not ShlttleSS.
busy-body that puffs around stations, to
the marvellous machine of a hundred tons
is reading the handwriting along its tracks.
The electrical motor, dumpy and ugly, is
preparing to retire it's handsomer rival. 1t
is like a mean little torpedo boat sending
the beautiful full-rigged man-Of-War into
retirement; but ii represents force and force
rules. Millions upon millions of dollars are
represented in these locomotives, but even
millions cannot prevent the advance of in
ventiOn And so, after a while, the old To-
connective may be as rare as the old-street-
car horse; but let us be grateful for what
it has done, and admit that the man was
almost right when he called it 1.-THE plow-
share of civilization for wherever its
whistle has been heard progress has found
a way and the furrow has been plowed.
