ecutive clemency. Governor Mickey com

ton:
The sentence of Nicholas ]. Gentleman is
hereby commuted to ten years for the tol-
lowing reasons: Eleven Of the jurors who
sat this case filed with the governor
their petition duly signed by each s, on them ,h
sat in the case Of State against Nicholas
]. Gentleman, in Platte county, In Feoru-
ary 1901, respectfully make the following
| representations: For several years before
the homicide Gentleman had been drinking
| excessively and the crime was undoubtedly
the result OF his long and excessive use of
| intoXicants. Before removing from the
farm to Platte Center he had always been
| sober. industrious, law-dbiding man and
| stood deservedly high in public esteem. We
understand his conduct in the penitentiary
has been exemplary always and we feel
in view Of that fact and the good reputation
he bore before he became addicted to the
use OF liquor that a substantial reuuctlon
of his sentence would be altogether justih-
| able"
The other juror. under date Of November
lows:
AS I was one of the twelve jurymen

since been serving a nineteen-year SEN

duce his sentence to Commitment OF time,
and in my estimation he has now served a
term 1sIgp adequate to his harsh At MopsD
| One Of the Twelve Jurymen.
The verdict in this case was murder in
sentence to ten years this gives him the
minimum sentence for this crime.
McBrIen Pleased with Meeting.

the following statement:
For twenty-one consecutive years 1 have
attended the Nebraska State Teachers as
| ISOLATION. l do not hesitate to say that

cessful meeting this association ever held.

other successful meetings during those
twenty-one years, for every one of them
was a splendid success. There was one
thing, however more prominent In the
session this year than in any other meeting
which have attended. | mean the spirit
of fraternity that was manifest on every
hand. There was no political wire pulling
for the honors of the association. The
election of Principal A. II. Warehouse to
without solicitation on his part as a fit
ting tribute to one who Is school man,
who despises the legerdemain tricks of the
politician. Mr.. Waterhouse has no su-
perior among the high school principals of
the United States. He will have the unani-
school woman in the state to make the
next association a greater meeting than
the one just closed.
due to the consummate leadership of Prof
w. l.. Stephens and the officers of the as
ISOLATION, every one of whom Is deserving
} OF special praise. 1t was great meeting.
