Executive clemency Refused.

In view of the fact that the people
of this county are so greatly interest
ed in the fate of the young men who
murdered our mayor, ]. +. Marsh, l
will make a brief statement regarding
the recent eff ort to secure a cOmmuta-
tiOn of their sentence.
About three weeks past, Mrs. Ar
mold. mother of Carl Arnold, the
youngm who fired the fatal shot,
came to this city and caused to be
published in the Mercury notice to
the effect that on the 10Th of June ap-
plication would be made to the gov
ernOr ito secure a communication of the
sentence of these boys.
The day of the Log Rolling and the
Old Settlers picnic a remonstrance
was circulated and between three and
four hundred signatures obtained, al
SO remonstrance was signed by our
county and city officers in their offic-
ial capacities These papers were
placed in my hands to be filed with
the governor when the hearing took
place.
Last Saturday morning [ went to
the governors Office at nine O'Clock
and examined the papers in the case
and found that they consisted largely
of letters from the boys to their rela-
tives written from within the prison.
A letter from Judge Vandivert was in
the files. He said in effect that he
knew nothing of the present sentiment
in this community and could make no
recommend alton.
When the case was called there were
present &. &. Lobdel, of Dighton, J.
$. Simmons, superintendent of the
Hutchinson reformatOry, Judge Gr.i n
stead, of Larned, Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
mold andtwo uncles of Harvey's, ask
ing for executive clemency, and
myself opposing the same.
When the governor called the case
| handed him the protests with the re-
quest that they be made part of the
record. He accepted them and stated
that he would first hear the parties
asking for the Communication.
Mr.. Simmons presented the case and
was followed by Messrs. Grinstead
and Lobdel and Mrs. Arnold. The case
was presented informally and dis
cussed by the governor as it pro-
gressed. The governor closing with
the statement that he could see no
good reason for executive clemency
and would refuse the petition. [ asked
him it that was his decision and on
being informed that it was. asked that
the protests that [ had filed be made a
part Of the permanent record, which
was done.
The. parties prosecuting this case
seemed to regard the matter as hope
less and it will doubtless be many
years before anything more will be
attempted. j. M. LEWIS, JR. !,

Buffalo Exposition.

The trip to Chicago on Saturday
brought to mind the old adage that
the funniest things in the world are
the people. Across the aisle in the
Pullman were a couple from Denver
man and his wife both totally alb
sOrbed in their separate ailments. The
mans stomach was the main center of
| interest. Some friends whom they had
not seen for some time were in the
section with them and the entire day
| was occupied in eating ard anxious
consultation as to the results on his
stomach. They ate everything. In q
high keyed voice the ego-maniac
would say anXiOusly to his wife, "Do
cake or boiled eggs, etc., it will
hurt me?" He would then indulge
| himself and exclaim every few mo-
ments, oh my deah, l believe that
preserved gingah is going to give me
| Il pain, oh deah ,ne-the sailed pea
nuts are too much.
Finally in desperation | flew to the
end of the observation car to feast my
soul on the woods going into Kansas
City. In Il short time this awful cou-
pie appeared on the scene with bot
tie OF olives. After an anxious con-
ference she dcciued he could not eat
them but might suck one. 1t happened
to be one stuffed with red pepper and
he sucked it down his throat She
pounded and pelted him, and / en-
joyed it thoroughly. feeling somewhat
revenged on them for the day. They
had really furnished amusement for
the whole car.
Kansas crops put everything else in
the shade. Wheat in Illinois is some
thing over an inch high Corn can be
seen coming up in some places.

shipping was polns oil great interest,
There is continuous stream of big
