Library Certificates.

County Superintendent Eli Hutchin-
son has sent to each school teacher in
the county book of library certificates
which will be given to the pupils who
read the books in the school libraries,
accompanied by The following official
circular:
To THE TEACHER:-Y You will find here
with enclosed State Library Certificates
of Award which are to be used in your
school for the purpose Of arousing an
interest in the reading Of good books
especially those purchased by the dis
tricti and school officers.
Please announce to your school that
you will issue one of these certificates
to each pupil who has satisfactorily
read one library book, mutually agreed
upon by teacher and pupil. The book
agree upon must be read at home, and
the number of books thus selected is
hereby limited to FIVE during the year.
1t is suggested that books bearing on
the proper habit Of thought and life
books whose purpose is healthy char
acter-growth, development-be given
the preference.
Pupils above the fourth grade should
be required to write review of each
book read, as test to determine how
we'll he reading is done.
VIII n pupil has received FIVE Of
these certificates, the County Superin-
tend, MT will issue to that pupil much
larger State Library Certificate; when
pupil has received THREE of the larger
certificates, the County Superintendent
will issue State Library Diploma.
1t is expected that the use of these
certificates will cultivate in pupils
desire to read good books, and utilize
intelligently the money expended
annually by patrons and school officers
for library books in your school.
If you will kindly take hold of this
work with the interest it merits, you
will not only benefit your pupils, but
will have the commendation and active
cooperation of parents and school Off.
eers. Yours respectfully,
ELI HUTCHINSON,
County Superintendent.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The delegates were slow in gathering
at the opera hall after dinner as there
was considerable work being done in
the interest of the various candidates.
and it was 2 o'clock before Chairman
Sankey raped for order. The hall was,
we'll filed and never in the history of
the democratic party has there been
convention held where the delegations
were better represented, nearly every,
delegate in the county being present
and in number of cases goodly NUM-
Der of the alternates also in attendance.
The first business after the conven-
tion was called to order was the receiv-.
ing of the report of the committee on
credentials which was as follows:
We, your committee on. credentials,
report every township represented in
regular form, with no contesting dele
cations, and recommend that the dele
gates present be authorized to cast the,
full vote of their respective townships.
On motion the report was accepted
and adopted.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported the following as the
permanent officers:
Chairman-Hon. E. j. Sankey, of Leon.
Secretary-O. E. Hull, Of Leon.
Asst. Secretary. B. Bennett, of
Pleasanton.
Reading Clerk K. Howell, of

Charged with Stealing Chickens.

An information was filed last Friday
before Justice G. w. Beck by L. c. Nc
Kern, chargings Jamaica Norman and
Geo. +. Phillips, alias "The Indian Doc
tor with the crime of stealing coop
of chickens from the residence of Nc
Kern, valued at nine dollars, the theft
of which was reported last week.
Sheriff Wallace went out to the Norman
farm and arrested the defendants and
on being brought before Justice Beck
they entered plea of mot guilty" and
the hearing was continued until Sept. "a,
the defendants being released on bonds
of $500 and $500 respectfully, which
they gave with Norman and wife as
sureties. The defendants have retained
G. w. Hoffman and Marion Woodland to
defend them and insist that they are
innocent of the charge. The 'Indian
Doctor has been staying at Norman's
for several weeks, and claims to be
detective, having credentials from one
of the eastern detective agencies. The
last legislature enacted new law
covering the crime of stealing chickens,
making it larceny, regardless of the
value of the chickens stolen, and the
crime is punishable by Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for a term not to
exceed two years, or a Jail sentence
not exceeding one year, and fine Of
not to exceed $500.

RESOLUTIONS.
w. W. Scott, Fayette.
b. S. Buffum, Leroy.
Oscar Judd, New Buda.
Marion Woodard, Leon.
G. NJ. Grim, Long Creek.
Before adjourning at the morning ses-
sion, Chairman Sankey announced that
Mr.. V. r. McGinnis desired to make
statement to the convention in regard
to the nomination for county attorney.
Mr.. McGinnis came to the stage and
said that he had been approached by
many leading democrats from all over
the county who had urged him to accept
the nomination for county attorney, and
while hesdeeply appreciated the friend
ship and kindly feeling of his friends,
and was willing to make any personal
sacrifice to comply with their wishes,
he had given the matter most careful
study and consideration, and had de-
clded that circumstances were such
that he could not accept the Nomination
and deemed it best to SO inform the
delegates before they were called upon
to vote on the nomination. He said he
had already been nominated as the
democratic elector from the Eighth dis
trict on the presidential ticket, and
while he had not sought the honor, it
had been accepted by him. He could
not remain on the presidential ticket
and also be candidate for county at
torney, and at the time he had accepted
the nomination at the state convention
he had assured the state committee that
he would accept and had promised to
assist in the national campaign by max
ing speeches over the state. Another
thing that prevented his accepting the
nomination for county attorney was the
fact that he was already retained on the
defense of every important criminal
case which would probably be tried
within the next year, and if he accepted
the nomination and was elected county
attorney he would be barred from pros
ecuting any of the cases, having already
been retained by the defendants, and no
man could serve two masters, although
it was frequently tried. He said he was
willing to make any personal sacrifice
for the good Of the party and to serve
the wishes of his party, but under the
circumstances he was in such position
that he could not accept the county
nomination with clear conscience, and
he desired to be clearly understood in
the matter SO the delegates could select
another candidate for county attorney.
On motion the convention then adj
journed until 1870 o'clock.
