JOHN KELSO PARDONED.
Governor Oates Raises a Nice Point in Regard
to Payment of Court Costs in
This Case.

This morning John Kelsoe will be
free man, with all his rights as a. citizen
of the United States restored.
It will be remembered that Kelsee was
indicted for murder In connection with
the riot at Pratt Smines. when Deputy
Tierce was killed. On trial the jury re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter and
Kelsoe was sentenced to one year at hard
labor and costs. On April l his years
sentence expired, being allowed two
months for good behavior.
Some time ago Mr. Frank p. O'Brien
interested himself in behalf of Kelsoe
and made an offer to pay the costs; that
is, the amount the county would receive
from the company in whose hands KEEL
soc had been placed. There was some
technicality whereby the clerk of court
was prohibited from receiving said
money, and an application was made to
the governor by Mr.. O'Brien for a par
don, at the same time stating that the
$54 would be paid the county If Kelsoe's
rights of citizenship would be restored.
Last night Mr. O'Brien received from
Governor Oates a pardon for John kel-
soc, accompanying which was the fol-
lowing letter explaining his reasons for
so doing: fea altrt
In the case of John Kelsoe, who was
convicted of manslaughter in the first
degree by the city criminal court of Biz
mingham on the list day of June. 1893.
and sentenced to hard labor for period
of one year for said offense and q further
term of six months for the costs, and was
by the proper authority hired to the Sloss
Iron and Steel company at Coalburg at
and for the sum of SO per month, and the
convict having served out the sentence or
the law for the offense, allowing him the
legal reduction in time for good conduct,
he has now entered upon serving for pay
ment of the costs. These he offers to pay
in money, to-wit Fifty-four dollars. the
aggregate which would be realized by
the officers of the court as the proceeds or
his labor for six months. The imposition
of hard labor to pay court costs is but
statutory method of collecting them from
a convict who cannot or otherwise does
not pay them. The officers of court and
witnesses for the state are the sole bene-
ficiaries. While, as the law now STANDS,
a convict cannot be discharged by me
court on the payment of a less sum than
the entire costs in the case, yet kelsoe OF
fers to pay in cash every dollar which
the officers would receive if he worked at
hard labor the entire six months. l do
not regard the labor for costs as a part
of the penalty for his offense. 1t is but
an incident and hence upon his payment
of the $54 for costs to the clerk of the
circuit court 1 pardon him from further
seryitude and restore him to his political
rights. VIM. C. OATES.
April 3, 1896.
Today Kelsoe will be liberated and re-
turned to his family, and he will be met
at the prison gates by a large number OF
friends who will rejoice with him on his
return to freedom.

Venezuela Has Not Replied.

GOVERNMENT INTERPE1ILATED.
Refused a Vote of Confidence by the Senate.
Will Not Resign.

w III " OF fteblBns
Paris, April Am Interpolation of
the governments foreign policy was sub
united in the senate today. M. Bour-
geois, prime minister and minister of
foreign affairs, asked that the question
ing be deferred as he could give no re-
ply beyond that which he had made in
the chamber of deputies yesterday. He
added that the adjustment of the inter
pellation would not lessen the senate's
rights, while 1t would give the govern
ment the authority and strength neces-
sary to pursue its negotiations regarding
the Egyptian and other foreign aues-
fions.
The senate refused to agree to M.
Bourgeois proposal, whereupon the
prime minister declared that he should
make no reply to the Interpolation, hav-
ing no further explanation to furnish.
The following resolution was then sub
mitted:
The senate, noting the declaration of
the government that 1t cannot add to its
explanation to the chamber of deputies
on Thursday, and regretting that those
explanations are insufficient, refuse to
grant the government a vote of conf
hdence and passes to the order of the day.
This was adopted. The senate adj
1ourned until April %.
Immediately thereafter the ministers
retired and held a council at the for
eign Office. 1t Is not expected that they

JUST AT THIS TIME.
A Few Valua BILE Hints to Those
Who Are Quick to Take Adj
vantage of Suggestions.

Can you afford to risk your life during
this spring?
This is a question which great many
people will do well to consider just at this
time.
How many people there are. just now,
who complain of tired, worn-out feelings.
They feel listless, languid. have head
aches, backaches and continually suffer
from stomach troubles. Their symp-
toms plainly show that their liver and
kidneys are out of order. Others are sur
ferers from dizziness, palpitation and
pains near the heart. Their blood does
not circulate properly and it needs puri-
flying. Unless these things are attended
to the first cold or chill they catch is
very apt to turn into pneumonia, con-
sumption or some other dangerous NAL
ady. Can anyone afford to run these
risks?
These dangers are not exaggerated
They actually exist, they must be faced.
and it is serious matter for people who
have others depending on them. Sucn
people cannot afford to be laid up with
a severe illness, lose work and pay heavy
doctors bills. 1t is wiser to guard
against the many dangers by toning up
the system and putting every organ Oh
the body in perfect condition. rms is
easily accomplished by the aid of war

recognized as the greatest and best rem
edy for renewing the strength ana DULL
