MUST STAY IN PRISON.
The Eject Of Kansas Supreme Court
Decision.

The Kansas Supreme Court has handed an
opinion in:thc case of the state against George
Nolan. The case is Important because II
questions the law prescribing punishment for
all crimes, and had not the decision Of the
lower court been sustained, the Kansas peni-
tcntiary would have been dcpopulated.
Edward Farris, negro OF Atchison, was
convicted of arson. His attorney appealed to
the Supreme Court, claiming that the failure
to insert In the Kansas law the words sin the
penitcntiary" after the words confined at hard
labor" was fatal omission.
Chief Justice Horton, In handing down the
decision, said the intention. Of the trainers Of
the law was apparent that the confinement
prescribed should be In the penltcntlary, and
that sentences to that eiIcc, were not In viola
,ion OF the laws or constitution Of the United
States. The ease Will now lie appealed TO the

noticed, Miss Kelly, the superintendent OF the
inmates Of the reform department, was in the
yard. These were taken back when the fire
was supposed to be under perfect control.
Upon the discovery that the flames had COM
municated to the stairway and up to the roof
the girls were once more ordered to the yard
and were guarded by half dozen attendants.

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-04-13

The ministers all over the State by
some organized effort are protesting
against the opening of the Worlds
Fair on Sunday. We suppose this is
all aimed at Knox and Montgomery
counties, as they are the only two
counties in the State that are making
any calculation ON an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, and will represent the
State of Tennessee. If so, the pro-
test so far as we are concerned, is use.
less and out of place. The good
brethren only need request it.
Knoxville and GAINESVILLE are the
only two towns in the State that
have more churches than saloons.
We also have the best preachers and
most religion, and of course if the
brethren say they don't want the
fair to proceed on Sunday we will
have it stopped. Won't you agree
to that, Tatom?
