Governor Sheldon has pardoned

years. but this would be reduced to
eighteen months for good behavior,
making his term expire in April
next. Gov. sheldon has done a

wears in Office that have reflected
upon himself and cast odIum upon
his party, bat this last break caps

Is a minor feature in the makeup Of
Herald articles. Taylor is still in
the penitentiary, no meeting Of the
board Of pardons has been held and
Gov. Sheldon has issued no such
pardon. However, the Herald viii

The term Of service Of Charles II
Sheldon as Executive OF South Oak.
has expired and in his return 10 pri-
watts life he carries with him the
esteem of all thoughtful citizens
of those not influenced by politicaI
.animosity or partisan bias. No man
ever filed an office within the
gift of the people who was as cruelty
maligned or misunderstood as Gov.
Sheldon. Many who have criticised
him have done SO without a know
ledge OF the man or a proper under
standing of the motives that have
actuated him. He represents a type
of citizen whom 1t should be a duty
and delight to honor, but with many
the opposite was the course taken
Talented and eloquent, be has been
pictured as a windy roysterer; with
a vast fund of learning at his com
mand, he has been pointed to as a
fool; pure in life, he has been held
up as a common rounder; conscient-
ious to a fault, be has been referred
to as a hardened reprobate; a
thorough believer in the equality of
men, he has been charged with a
lack Of dignity. To those that know
the true msris OF the man this has
been a source Of grief, but at no time
would he c~ountsnance a spirit Of re-
talaition and il this policy lacked
wisdom it displayed true courage.
and dignity.
Stepping from the farm tireside to
the highest office in the state is it to
be wondered at II be committed mis-
takes. Slow TO think evil Of anv
man, ne may have listened to the
voices of those not his true friends,
but when convinced of an error how
promptly he did all in his power to
rectify it. No action was ever taken
by him without an earnest desire to
do what was right and for the best
interests OF the people. And if dur
ing his administration, scandal laid
hold of those in high places, guilt
never laid IT'S shameful finger on him.
How earnestly his political enemies
tried to involve his official name and
failing, sought revenge by trying to
besmirch his personal character and
blacksn his private life. Time evens
all things and the time will come
when the sterling worth and trne
manhood of Chas. FL. Sheldon will
shine forth from the clouds of misre-
presentation.

furnisfa bond of 100000 without
asking Ae assistance of any banker,
that the signatures of six of his

KANSAS BANK ROBBED
DARING RAID BY THREE
MEN AT ELMDALE.
Get Away With $1,000 In Cash and
800 In Drafts-CItizons Awakened

Yet the Robbers Escape.

ELMDALE, Kan, Aug. 3O.-Ihree
daring robbers broke into the Peoples
Exchange bank at an early hour yes
terday morning, blew open the safe,
after three loud explosions, and,
though the building was surrounded
by hastily-awakened citizens fully
armed. escaped with nearly $1,000 in
cash in their possession
The craftsmen used nitro-gly cerine
Ia gaining entrance to the vault, and
blew open the safe and the money
drawer within it. There were three
distinct explosions as the robbers
forced their way to the banks treas
are. Although they were heard by
hundreds of people and the bank was
soon surrounded by an excited throng.
the safe crackers escaped and are still
1t liberty. The third charge was ex-
ploded even while the street in front
was thronged with people bent on
capturing the daring men within.
The loss is 81. 800 in money and 500
in drafts The vault and safe are
total wreck. Following the custom of
smaller banks, the institution had de-
posted most of its cash in larger
and more secure bank. patronlzing
one at Emporia in this instance. and
only few days ago several thousand
dollars were taken to Emporia for de-
post. The robbers overlooked S12O on
q top shelf in the bank and SIS in gold
which the force of the explosion
threw upon the floor, where they did
not see it.
The robbers ran out the back door
of the bank in the excitement, and es-
capped in safety.
The first explosion broke the doors
of the vault. The second blew the
doors of the inner safe clear out
through the door of the vault and up
against the bank counter. The third
explosion blew open the money
drawer. A large hole in the floor of
the vault was also burrowed by tho
explosion.
About an hour after the escape three
men in buggy who had their horses
on a dead run, passed a camp eight
miles west. and they are supposed to
be the robbers.
Shortly before dark Saturday, three
men in buggy drove into town and
were still there when the people went
to bed. They had heir team hitched
