HOCH'S PARDON DAYS.
They VIII Be First Tuesday and
Wednesday in Month.

Governor Hoch has announced
that the first Tuesday and Wednesday
of each month shall be the pardon
days, upon which he viii hear all ap-
plicauOnS for pardons that may be
brought before him. When Stanley
was governor, he adopted the system
OF regular pardon days each month.
but Governor Bailey did not continue
the custom.
Judge NJ. B. Nicholson of Council
Grove was in town today to talk to
the governor about a pardon for Tom
Morgan. Morgan is a young man
who was sent to the penitentiary for
life by Judge Nicholson on the charge
of murder. Governor Stanley COM
muted Morgan's sentence to % years,
and now strong pull is being made
to have an absolute pardon granted.
NOrgan'S home was in Marion, the
governors own town. He was cal
low youth Of IS, and worked in a liv-
cry stable. He turned states evidence
in the trial, and said that he went
into deal with a friend of his to rob
a man with whom they had had some
dealings, and who they knew to have
about 5000 in money. Morgan said
that the friend was to do the holding
up, while he steered the victim into
the trap, and was apparently held
up" with him. The affair was pulled
off according to the programme, ex-
cept that Morgan claimed his pal shot
the victim and killed him, and that
they carried the body to a desolate
ravine, where it was not found for
some months.
The crime was committed almost on
the county line between Marion and
Dickinson counties. The man whom
Morgan implicated was tried first in
Marion county, and acquitted Then
Morgan was tried in Dickinson county,
and convicted. So Morgan got the
full benefit of the law. and the alleged
pal is still living in Marion.

WOULD PAY 500 A YEAR.
Proposition for Metal Waste Paper
Boxes Again Acted Upon Favorably.

The streets and walks committee of
the city council last night acted favor
ably upon the granting of a franchise
to F. E. Barnes and H. S. McKeever
for the placing of waste paper boxes
along Kansas avenue. The two men
are to place metal waste paper boxes
along the streets and avenues of the
city free of cost and are to pay an
annual revenue to the city Of 500 for
the privilege.
Advertising space will be sold on the
outside of the boxes and this is where
McKeever and Barnes expect to re-
ceive revenue enough to more than
pay them for the placing of the boxes
in service. The franchise if it is
worth anything at all to the city is
worth more than 800 a year.
