Joseph Matthews, quartermaster of

NEBRASKA
REPUBLICANS
Assemble This Afternoon in
Convention to Make
Nominations.
Considerable Internal Strife on
Account of Paroling
Barley.

LINCOLN, Neb. Aug. 2S.-The Re
publican state convention meets in
this city this afternoon. 1t will be
all torn up over the question of crit
icising Governor Savage for paroling
Deputy State Treasurer Barley.
Interest in the nominations is sec
ond to that in the BARLEY matter.
Early this morning Governor Savage
issued circular over his own sigma
ture in which he stated that because
of the applications of hundreds of
prominent people, Democrats and Re
publicans alike, he had granted tn,
parole of BARLEY for sixty days in
order that he might arrange matters
so that the state would be relnbus-
ed for his losses. He was permitted
to leave the penitentiary solely for
this purpose and the man was now at
work to this end. At the end of the
GO days if he did not make good his
promise the parole would end and
Bartlay would go back to the peni-
tentiary.
This statement of Governor Savage,
however, does not seem likely to
prevent a resolution being introduced
criticising him, which will create CON
siderable internal party strife.
The aspirants for the nomination
for supreme judge appears to have
narrowed down to Judge Kayser of
Omaha, and Judge Sedgwick of York.
The friends of the other candidates.
however insist that their candidates
are by no means beaten.

fui Suit in City OF Paris.

promise from French business man
named Gouspy. She was formerly
Miss Secor, sister of the first Mrs. An
tonic Terry, and was married to an
Englishman long since deceased.
The cause of the breaking of the en-
gagement was an automobile, which
develops a new danger in love making.
Gouspy put his automobile at the ser
vice of Mrs. Wilson, and one day she
was by accident thrown out and dis
figured. The tickle Frenchman's love
cooled at the sight of her scars, and
