STORY OF JONES' PARDON.
Seems to Have Been a Just Act on
Governor Morrills Part.
The Arkansas city Traveller says:

L AC AIAauSdS lily traveller says.
In June, 1894. D. R. Jones, the Demo-
cratic-POpuIist ex-county clerk of Bar
ton county, was sentenced to the peni-
the charge of forgery, by which the
county lost about Sc 900. While the
jury and many others thought the evil
dence against Jones was conclusive
there were others who then believed and
now believe that he was innocent and
that another was the real culprit.
Among those who entertain the opinion
that there is at least a reasona Bile
doubt of Jones guilt is Prof Stryker
for state superintendent Of public in
struction.
For some time Jones has been con
fined to his bed in the prison hospital
with consumption. DR.. Morrison, the
prison physician, and DR.. Nicely, who
formerly held that position, Joined in a
letter, together with the prison officials,
that Jones could survive but a few
weeks and that death was liable to en-
sue at any moment In addition to
these statements a large number Of
citizens of Great Bend and Barton
county, representing all political par
ties, petitioned the governor to grant
Jones a pardon. Being thus amply
fortified against reasonable criticism,
and believing that common humanity
demanded that his few remaining days
might be spent under the loving care of
his loyal and devoted family, Governor
Morrill,, wisely and justly, granted
Jones pardon last Friday.
AS Jones is a Democrat and was
elected county clerk by the fusionists.
any attempt to make political capital
against the governor for issuing a par
don falls very fiat.

MRS. J. ELLEN FOSTER
Issues a Circular Letter to Republi-
can Women.

The State Journal has received the
following from Mrs. J. Ellen Foster:
Chicago, Sept. 1, 1896
To Republican Women:
The honorable recognition given to
women by the national Republican
committee should be acknowledged by
them in embracing the present OppOr-
tunity to serve the Republican party
Never were there more powerful and
obvious motives for persistent and uni
ted effort among women than now.
Morality and unity, the indispenSa bic
supports of the home and the nation,
are being assailed.
Where is security for the future hon
esty Of our sons if they are now taught
the lessons of reputation?
Where is security for our national
union that cost US suffering and blood,
if partisan Misrepresentation and in
trigue ALLEVIATE the south and west from
north and east?
In the name of good faith and honesty
of union and prosperity, we urge wo-
men everywhere to help maintain the
nations honor and unity. This can be
done most effectively by united effort
in forming woman's Republican clubs,
or Mckinley and Hobart clubs or
Sound Money clubs. where women can
meet and discuss the great issues of
the campaign and can consult as to
plans and methods of influencing Vo-
tiers.
In connection with and under the SUI
pervision of the national Republican
committee the woman's branch of the
work has opened headquarters in the
Auditorium annex, Chicago, where all
communications to me should be ad-
dressed.
I shall be pleased to communicate
with any person relative to any phase
of the work and to furnish campaign
literature and constitutions for the
formation of local clubs.
I shall soon be speaking on the Re
publican platform for Mckinley and
r0f
personally. Yours sincerely,
J. ELLEN FOSTER.

LATE SIDEWALK SWEEPING
It is to be Stopped by a City ordi-
nance.

Many business men have given little
attention to the resolution passed by
the city council requesting them to
have their sidewalks swept of in the
early morning so that pedestrians would
not be annoyed by the dust. 1t is a
common thing to meet cloud of dust
on the sidewalk as late as 8 o'clock in
the morning.
The matter has not been dropped by
any means and the councilmen are now
considering the question of introduc-
ing an ordinance making it unlawful
to sweep walks on Kansas avenue after
I o'clock in the morning The ordi-
nance may be ready at the next coun-

You Can Not Let Your Chickens Run

Proposition to Burn Corn Meets
With Much Favor in
South Dakota.
Would Be an Economical Move
and Money Would Be
Kept at Home.
Estimated That Two Tons of
Corn Will Go as Far as
q Ton of Coal.

CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D., Oct. lathe
suggestion that corn be burned as a
substitute for hard coal in South d.
kota this winter is meeting with favor
In number of localities. Hard coal is
now being retailed at from $40 to $11
per ton in the towns east of the Mis-
souri, river, and west of the river, in the
towns of the Black Hills and surround
ing territory, it costs considerable
more. A gentleman who is fully COM
petent to testify in the matter esti-
mates that two tons of corn will 60 as
far and furnish as much heat as one
ton of hard coal. Besides being
cheaper, it is figured that it will keep
thousands of dollars within the state
that would otherwise go to the coal
trust. The money paid for corn would
go into the pockets of farmers who
need it, and they in turn could pay
their debts with it. 1t is estimated
that Yankton county alone can con-
sumo 100, 900 bushels of corn this fall
and winter for fuel. Experiments by
skeptics are said to have proved that
corn will make good substitute for
coal and accordingly many farmers
throughout the state have decided to
retain a sufficient amount of corn to
heat their dwellings until spring and
meet other demands.

quite probable that the Globe elevator
officials and the Minnesota weighmen
will not be arrested for unloading grain
into that company's plant in violation
of the Wisconsin warehouse law. There
is now promise of settlement Of the
trouble and the Superior board of tradt
has decided to withhold criminal pro-
ceedings awaiting the result of con-
ference.
Several conferences between mem
bers of the board and representatives of
the mills and elevators have been held
within the last two days, and it is re-
liably stated that an agreement has
been reached whereby the Superior
board is to do business in the future
under Minnesota inspection, the Wis

that is wanting in the concurrence of
the Minnesota warehouse commission
to effect final settlement of the
matter, and the elevator men prom
Use it will be forthcoming promptly.
The millers of Superior have agreed
to patronize the Superior board, but do
not bind themselves to do their trading
exclusively on this side of the bay, and
the elevators have agreed to use their
influence toward the upbuilding of this
board, the steps in that direction to be
taken gradually.

NEWSPAPER RUMORS.

For seveal days there have been
rumors on the street that the Morn
ING Neacs is to be revived. ]. e. Rey-
nolds, the former editor of that de-
funct sheet, has accepted the position
of city editor of the Revieao and COM
menced his duties there Monday. He
states that he knows of no move to
revive the paper with which he was
formerly connected, and that the ma
terial is likely to soon be shipped out
of the city, as purchaser is at hand.
G. E. Hunt, formerly with the Re
Uieav, and Edmund Shaw, at one time
with the Morning Neaus, have decided
to embark in the daily newspaper
field, and state that they will start a
morning daily in Mankato in about
ten days, under another name,
to be neutral in politics. The
former has gone to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, to arrange for moving small
plant to this city. 1t would seem that
the failure of the recent morning
newspaper venture in this city ought
to deter anyone else from sinking
money in such an enterprise.
