opinion that the death penalty should
not be inflicted
It is also set forth that thirteen cit
liens of Rock Rapids, including the
sheriff of the county, and DR.. Wallace.
the Kellihan family physician, have
signed statements that kelllhan was
of weak intellect, and had given many
indications that he was of unsound
mind. That although the other broth
er was younger he was of much Strong
er mind and exercised an undue in
flUence over Lewis.
Among the papers in the case Is
letter from Dr. A. NJ. Vail, of Rock
Rapids, who says that he has been
looking up the family of Kellihan,
and that he finds a most remarkable
combination of ''degenerates" on the
side of both the mother and father.
The families on both sides have num-
erous members who are deformed men
tally and physically. The record of
degenaracy is so remarkable that DR..
Vail wants a scientific investigation Of
it made in the interests of medical
science.
Another interesting case is that of
Henry Fl. Rose, who has been in the
prison at Saltwater longer even than
the Youngers, and who was sentenced
to life imprisonment from Ramsey
county in 1874 for the murder of a con-
u dSlOiS dIllCh - SOIIHOI. -
Rose was a laborer, and came here
from New Jersey a short time before
he committed the murder. November,
1874, he was working for O'Connor, who
was doing some eXcaVating at the
corner of Fourth and Sibley streets.
They became involved in a quarrel, and
O'Connor struck Rose over the head
with a pick handle, leaving him I'M
conscious in the ditch until third
party came along and picked him up.
The next day, Rose swore out a war
rant for the arrest of O'Connor, but
the city justice discharged the defen-
dant
A day or two later, Rose, still smart
ing from his wounds, procured a
double barreled shotgun, went down
to where O'Connor was at work. and
shot him dead.
The plea of insanity was set up in
Roses defense. and the applicant for
pardon now admits that the court was
right In overruling that plea, but pleads
Roses hot temper, and the injury he
had received, as an extenuation. 1t is
also set forth that number of muir
derers since sent up from this same
county for more cold-blooded crimes,
and with less provocation than this,
have been pardoned, after having
served little more than half the time
Rose has served.
1t is also urged that Rose was
man of good character and that his
relatives, now in st. Paul, are people
well-known and thoroughly respected in
St Paul His brother is Sergeant
Rose, Of the police force. Rose is also
said to have a splendid record as d

REJECTED ALL BIDS
CAPiToL COMMISSION DECIDED
THIS TO BE FAIRER FOR ALL
PARTIES.
THIS AcHlon WAS TAKEN
IN VIEW OF CHANGES DETERMIN-
END UPOY In THE REVISED
SPECIFICATIONS.
II
To One Class of work-Changes Do
Not Affect the Original Draw
ings.

The capitol commission, after an all
day session yesterday, decided to re-
ject all bids for stone. This action
was taken in view Of the important
changes determined upon in the re-
vised specifications about to be issued.
1t is the desire of the board that all
bidders shall receive fair consideration.
and, in consequence of the proposed
changes, the only proper course seemed
to be to reject all bids and advertise
anew.
After carefully tabulating all the
bids recently opened, it was foun1
impossible to designate the lowest, oW-
ing to the fact that, while one bidder
was lowest on one kind Of stone for
the walls and roof, another was lowest
on a different stone Tor the interior
work. and still another was lowest on
third variety of stone for the dome.
Bid A was for the walls and roof,
bid B was for interior stone work and
bid C was for the dome. Taking one
kind of stone-for instance Kettle
river-as an example, the bids on it
were as follows:
On bid A, Hennessy & Cox, at $573,-
6S1, were the lowest On bid b, Bullef
& Ryan, at s124,OCO, were the lowest
On bid G., L. L. Leach & Son, at $125,-
279. WereJlthe. lowest.
On one* alteration on bid c, A. K.
Bentley was lowest at $1O3,O54 On
another alteration on bid c, John Clark
Sons & CO. were lowest at SOL, 100. The
same is the case with the bids on otner
varieties of stone such as marble,
granite, etc.
Inasmuch as important changes will
be made in the revised specifications
now to be issued, any one of these bids
might become the lowest upon figuring
out these changes and submitting
amended bids.
The new proposals will be confined TO
one class sof work Only-the walls ana
roof and the masonry of the dome UP
to the dome platform, together W1tf
the structural. steel for the same-but
will not include the interior stone work
or the dome itself. The changes under
the specifications do not affect the
original drawings or ultimate appear
ance of the building itself. They con-
sist principally in the use of lime in
stead of cement, except in portions of
the work which will bear important
loads; some details in the cutting of
stone-the omission of certain carving
which can be added hereafter, should
finances permit, and number of other
minor items not important; in them
selves, but which in. the, aggregate re-
duce the cost-all these changes being
in the direction of economy. -....-..
The commission adjourned shortly
after D. M, and the members de-
parted for their homes. s'1 r--
