A fine portrait of Charles e. Ma

a resident of Lincoln, has been framed
and hung in the office of the mayor
in the city hall. The portrait is an ex-
cellent likeness of Mr., Magoon. 1t
was presented to the city by him upon
request of Mayor Brown. The mayor
wishes to secure the portraits of all
former Lincoln men who have become
prominent in national affairs, and he
has sent out requests to several indi-
viduals for their portraits. The ar
rival of one portrait which has been
promised to the city is looked forward
to by the mayor with considerable
expectancy. 1t is one of Abraham
Lincoln for whom this city was named
which has been promised to the city
by Robert Lincoln of Chicago, son of
the ex-president. Mayor Brown ex-
poets this picture soon.

The Case of Harrison Clarke.

Street railway employees of Omaha,
to the number of 210 have petitioned
Governor Sheldon not to disturb or
commute the sentence imposed upon
Harrison Clarke for the murder of Ed
ward FURY, a street car conductor
The petitioners say: Clarke had a
fair trial; no just man denies it, I'm
der the verdict and the law Clarke
should be hanged. No just man denies
it. Under the law it was left to the
jury to fix the penalty. They fixed 1t
at death. 1t matters not what has
been done in other cases. Other
murderers may have been acquitted.
Other murderers may have had their
sentences committed. This cannot af-
feet this case. 1t must be presumed
that the authorities have done their
duties under the facts and the law.
There is no reason for interfering with
the sentence. All reasons exist for
sustaining 1t. For ourselves and for
the street railway employees generally,
whose lives are imperiled while on
duty by the robber and the murdered,
and for their families and in memory
of Edward FURY we ask you to let the
sentence stand and the law take its
course"
