plOres Governors Action.

Fremont, Neb., April 24.-The
news that Governor Savage had
granted William Rhea, the Dodge
county murderer, a respite until
July 10, 1903, was made public here
Shis afternoon through the medium
OF q local evening newspaper. 1t i'm.
mediately became the topic for dis.
eussOn among all classes of citizens.
Groups OF men gathered on the side.
walks and passed their opinions on
Ehe governors action. 1t is safe to
say tonight that not one person ia
twenty-five among Fremont's pOpu-
tation even mildly approves the gov
ernor's course. Though action ia
Sorable to Rhea was looked for, this
fact had not diminished the intens-
tty OF popular indignation here over
what Is regarded as a travesty on
Sustice for the sake of saving a GRIM
1nal's life. The same is true all
over the county and the feeling is
stronger in Snyder, the town where
Ehe murder took place. Much of the
pentiment expressed In this city
amounts to conservative condemna-
fion, but there are some who con-
Gent themselves with nothing less
chan pouring out excavations upon
the governors head.

PRISONER is INDIFFERENT
GEARNs OF RETRIEVE WITHOUT
EvINCING INTEREST.
DODGE COUNTY is AROUSED
AoyeruOr Hopes for Law Against Capital
Punishmcnt-nives Reasons for II .
Act.

Governor Savage granted condi-
&ionai reprieve to William Rhea, who
was under sentence to be hung April
rs at the penitentiaTy. The respite
is OF long duration as under 1t Rhea
NAV live till July 10, 1903. This date
was taken as a time when any law
passed by the next legislature would
be In effect. The governors hope is
that law may be placed on the stat
utes providing against capital pun
tshment. In event the chief execu-
tive Is not returned for second
term, the duty of finally passing on
the case will devolve upon his sue.
eeSsnr.
The papers in the case were made
out yesterday afternoon. Among
them was document, which Rhea
signed, consenting to the action Of
the governor. Another was the order
60 Warden Davis Of the penitcntiary
and lastly and explanation by Cover
nor Savage giving his reasons for
the reprieve. The governor went in
person to the peniteniary to secure
Rhea's consent To the reprieve.
The action OF the governor was not
at all unexpected. People who had
talked with him as far back as Mon
day gathered from his remarks that
clemcncy would be exercised. 1t
was then published that the chief
executive would probably grant a
stay OF sentence. Bv placing the
date Of expiration of the reprleve so
Far along the governor has obviated
the necessity of passing upon the
question during his present term of
Sf1ice.
THE FINAL OUTCOME.
1t vas suggested by some that a
Jaw doing away with capital punish
ment might not save Rhea's life
without executive Interference even
" IL passed. Some contend that
che conditions that exist now would
apply to his case next year notwith-
standing law. Others said that the
qx-post facto theory does not apply
an criminal matters as in civil and
shat with the law against capital
punishment existing no man would
be hung no matter when convicted.
Mhe governor had the advice Of the
attorney general In the case and is
satisfied that the passage of a new
law would be effective in Rhea s
case.
When the news Of the reprieve was
made known to Rhea he was not
moved. He accepted the stay of SEN
Gence with Indifference. The news
was received about the city very
ehortly after the repGieve had been
granted. The majority of he pc.
eitiOns In Rhea's favor had been
signed here and number OF people
were pleased while others were not.
The action OF the governor bad been
gxpected hence there was little said.
The unusual form OF the repireye
was generally commented upon It
will bring the question Of the pass
age OF an anti-capital punishment
law squarely before the legislature
uext winter.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.
The Health Department Of New YORK
has seized quantity Of so-called cheap
baking powder, which 1t found in that
city. Attention was attracted TO 1t by
the low price at which 1t was being sold
in the department stores. Samples
were taken and the chemist of the
Health Department reported the stuff
to he composed chiefly OF alum and pull
verified rock. ......
The powder was declared to be dan.
gerous to health and several thousand

ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION
Road Is said to be Headed for
Beaumont and New Orleans.

1T Ii now said on what is alleged
to be good authority that the Rock
Island has decided upon an extern
sion from Fort Worth TO Beaumont
and New Orleans. In fact call
has been issued for a meeting of the
stockholders TO be held In Fort
Worth some time In May for the
purpose of voting bonds not to ex-
cees $50, 900 per mile for the con-
struction of the extension. Some of
the preliminary surveys have al
ready been made and the informa-
tion comes from Corsicana that two
gangs of surveyors are at work
near that city. One is going south
east and the other is headed in this
direction. It is the purpose Of the
road to build across Ellis county
but nothing definite as to the route
has yet been given out. 1t rs claimed
by those who are In position to
know that the road will be built
from Fort Worth to Dallas, thence
southeast to the gulf. In the mean
time 1t would be well for Waxaha-
chic to keep her eye on the Rock
Islands proposed extension. With
this road and the International and
Great Northern she will yet be
known az railroad center of some

TRY TO PREVENT
A CONSOLIDATION
Minnesota Asks Leave TO File Bill
of Complaint
BIG FIGHT ON IN EARNEST.

Washington, d. @. Jan. 27-In
the United States supreme court
today argument was commenced
upon the application of the State
of Minnesota for leave to file bill
of complaint against the Northern
Securities company, bearing upon
the consolidation of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company with
the Great Northern and Burling-
ton systems.
The proceedings commenced to-
day have certainly points of
unique interest and owing to the
Importance of the issues involved
they will be followed with close
attention throughout the country.
The application which is up for
hearing sets forth the nature of the
Northern Securities company, and
prays that the officers of that or
ganization be enjoined from exer-
cising any control over the rail
ways that have been consolidated
and from participating in their
management The two main
points are the employ ment of the
equity process on the ground that
the complainant has no other ade-
quate remedy, and the reasons for
which the Supreme Court is asked
to grant such remedy.
