Petition for Pardon of ]. W. Clark, Con
ucted of Felony.
To Governor A. h. Longino

10 OOycIuUT a. IL l4OuBiuo.
At the May term 1898. OF the circuit
court of the first judicial district of the
county of Perry, ]. w. Clark was tried
and convicted on charge OF robbery,
and was sentenced to serve ten years in
the state penitentiary, to which he was
carried few days thereafter, and that
he has been in the said penitentiary
continually since that time.
At the time of said conviction sai@
Clark was only twenty-three years old,
in good health, but that soon after his
confinement in the penitentiary his
health gave way and has since that time
continually to the present time been
very bad and that he lie not able TO do
much work; and that heis also.ruptured
and in the year 1900 he had very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia. from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able to do manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he is confined.
During all the time he has been serv
ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble to the persons having
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient. in the com
pliance with the commands and require
ments of those in whose charge he has
been.
We, therefore, believing that the ends
of justice have been fully met in his
case, and owing to the impaired condi-
ton of his health, together with the fact
that he has never given any trouble,
respectfully petition that he be granted
a full pardon.
Very respectfully yours,

Each season marks the growth
of the afternoon newspaper. In

st. Louis and Nashville, the after

spend the money.
This is especially true at st.

local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon

This is in accordance with the

The man of business, with 4 great
Giant and a large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more

POWERS DEFINED.
Emergency Hospital Rules Interpreted
by the Directors.

The board Of directors of the Emergency
Hospital yesterday afternoon adopted an in
depreciation of the rules of the institution by
which the executive officer is deprived of the
power of summarily discharging either the
resident assistant physicians. The su-
perintendent has been given authority over
the nurses and employees. The doctors on
the visiting staff at the hospital serve in
turn as executive officer. The new interpre-
tation of the rules provides that the entire
board of directors must act on charges pre-
ferred against physicians and take action
leading to their dismissal, and that the head
nurse, or superintendent Is empowered to
remove nurses and employees.
The meeting Of the board of directors yes
terday afternoon was an adjournd one, held
for the purpose of hearing the report of
special committee appointed to make recon-
menda tons concerning the Interpretation of
the hospital rules. This committee consist
ed of DR.. G. M. Kober, DR.. w. P. Carr and
Commander Frederick A. Miller. 1t report
ed the changes, and its report was adopted
by the vote of the majority of the board
present at yesterdays meeting. The direct
ors present were: Mr.. w. ]. Boardman, Col

Hague, and Drs. S. M. Burnett w. H.
Hawkes., H. L. E. johnson, w. P. Carr, G.
T. Vaughn, G. L. Magruder, G.. M. Kober,
1t is said the action taken on the rules yes
terday was brought about by the recent
discharge of DR.. D. T. Stuart the resident
physician, who was dismissed while Dr. H
L. E. Johnson was acting as executive Off
Ger. There was a dispute subsequently con-
corning the authority Of Dr. Johnson to
remove DIR. Stuart, although Dr. johnson
Is said to have based his action on the by
laws of the hospital and custom followed in
such matters from the time of the organiza-
ton Of the institution.
