statement that when knocked down she had lain two hours in a pool of her own blood. which had flowed from a wound made in the temple from a blow administered by the jailor, who Is relative of Sheriff Van Pelt. The lat ter is candidate for reelection at the primary of Tuesday.
 This letter written by the woman reached the board of commissioners a month ago but that body has seen fit to investigate 1t only at this late day. The first session was held last Thurs day night when the letter written by the prisoner was read in executive ses- sion. This created something of a sem sation and as a sort of substantiation of the second letter the first one eman- ating from the Jail was read. It cor roborated every allegation.
 Another letter, detailing many al- legged shamefufSdoings, was read at the executive. session. This was from a prisoner .named Miller, an intelligent white man. who charged the jailor with many acts of cruelty and of worse things. This with two letters written by Mrs. Parker, spurred the board to careful inquiry Friday morning It was adjourned until Saturday after noon and on account of material wit ness for the board being absent. the nearing was again put OH until Monday It will be completed tehn. 1t is thought.
 Mir. Van Pelt the sheriff, with a large number of citizens of this county pro- nounce the attempt to besmirch his standing nothing but a political step to advance the cause of his opponent, whosis A. H. D'Alemberte who has been tax collect of this county for the past sixteen years. This play or this stand by -le Van Pelt men has had good ef- feet, for there are many in the town who do not take kindly to a type of politics, If such Is the case that would not stop at attacking a man for some- thing that he was in ignorance of, to say the least.
 The election will take place Tuesday and up until the vote is counted there is 10 way of telling just what effect the alleged transactions at the county jail vii, iave upon the candidacy of Mir. Van Pelt. A number of staunch IL Alerhberte men are known to have held their hands up at what thcy term the low political methods to attain the election for their man. but an equal number of Van Pelt men. from, careful observation. have abhorred the idea of placing a man in office who would per- nit such doings by subordinate. The fight for the office of sheriff has assumed the most interesting propor- tions, from the fact that 1t draws each of the county commissioners into tho trouble There is not member of tho board who is not standing for re-elec- tfon. and their action in this case has been watched very carefully by all classes of voters.

Many Republicans are here already from various parts of the State coming to participate in conferences being held leading up to the State convention of that party Tuesday. commencing at noon. The convention will be held in the City Hall and 1t is believed that between 25o and 300 delegates will be here. The tenn porary rolls have been made out already and while there will be few contests already made up will no doubt be official. There are indications that J. o.
