Conditional Pardon for Won Halter.
OMAHA. Jan. $40 the Editor OF The
Bee: The article which appeared In last
evenings Bee was In entire accordance
with the evidence produced at the trial or
George Won Halter. yet II was not In ac-
cordance with later evidence which was
formally presented to Governor Sheldon by
the attorney who prosecuted Won Halter for
the state. That evidence was the dying
statement Of a man who was an eye witness
Of the tragic murder Of Rees. That state
ment was sworn to by the mans wife and
a man who was present at the deathbed
Of the man. who solemnly declared that 1t
was not Won Halter who fired the fatal
shot and battered the face and head of the
unfortunate Rees. l was present at the trial
of Won Halter, and felt then that the prin-
cipal witness against him showed too in
tense a desire to convict him of the muir
der to make him a credible witness in
swearing away the life or liberty OF his
friend. Yet I did not see how the Jury
could have returned any other verdict than
the one II did return. Still, all of those
Jurors who could be found a year ago in
this county signed a petition to the gov
ernor asking for an unconditional pardon
for Won Halter. Attorney slabaugh, who
prosecuted him. Joined in that petition and
eloquently pleaded for the pardon Of the
unfortunate man. alleging that while he
prosecuted him with all his energy. be-
lieving him guilty upon the evidence, yet
he was fully persuaded now that Won Hal
Ter was not guilty OF the murder OF Rees. l
also pleaded for him before the governor,
believing fully that II was not Won Halter
who did the fatal shooting. The governor
was not convinced fully at the time. nor
did he seem to be last week. or he would
have granted an unconditional pardon.
I write this statement In justice to Won
Haller, who is coming to live among us, to
begin his life over. in order that he may
he given a fair opportunity to make that
life a sobered, better life than the way
ward, reckless life which led him into
trouble and shame. l am certain he will
make good, and to that end he will have
my friendship and help to the very fullest
extent. JOHN WILLIAMS.

BIG ELECTRICAL SHOW IN MAY
Dealers Lay Plans for a Show on
Bigger Lines Than Ever Before.
PERMANENT COMPANY FORMED
Plans Laid Far in Advance and an
Effort VIII he Made to Interest
Big Manufacturers In
the show.

Omaha will have another electrical show
this year, the time having been liked for
May, at the Auditorium, by a number OF
the leading electrical contractors and cleo
trical supply merchants of Omaha ana
Council Bluffs, who met Saturday after
noon at the Young Mems Christian %associ-
alton building. The dates are May s to 10.
inclusive.
An organization was perfected which will
be incorporated at once to handle the show.
It will be called the Omaha Electrical Show
company and the stock will be held largely
by the dealers in Omaha and Council
Bluffs.
The following officers were elected at
yesterdays meeting: George w. Johnston,
president; A. G. Munro, vice president; W..
L. Burgess, secretary; ]. r. Lehmer, treas
urer; ]. M. Gillian, manager.
The electrical show held last May was a
success even beyond the expectations of the
men who promoted It, ana with the expert
ence of last year and the confidence which
success always brings with It. these same
Omaha men feel confident that they can
far excel last years show In every respect
The big electrical manufacturers gave the
show but little help last year until they
saw II was going to be a winner anyway
This year they will realize from the start
that Omaha men can and will put on a
fine show and more assistance and more
will undoubtedly come from the
leading electrical concerns of the country
than last year.
Plans More Elaborate.
Last year the association was uncertain
as to Just how much money 1t would be
safe to spend on decorations, entertainment
and music, but this year everything will be
undertaken on a much more elaborate plan.
The Auditorium will be converted into a
veritable wonderland of things marvellous
and beautiful by means OF the various cleo
trical devices, and high class entertainment
will be furnished during the ten days of
the show. Several OF the men interested In
the organization will visit the great cleo
trical show at Chicago week after next,
and while there will pick up pointers for
the Omaha show and interest many OF the
leading manufacturers in the big exhibit in
the Auditorium. Mr.. Lovett, Mr.. Munro,
Mr.. Corr. Mr.. Michaelsen, Mr.. Johnston,
Mr.. Burgess. Mr.. Zimman and Mr.. Gillian
will attend the Chicago show.

erty.
He was talking about "The Amer
lea of To-day and Tomorrow" before
the Cook County Teachers association
when he expressed the opinion that
the span of life Is to be heightened.
1T has been proved" he said, that
the men of to-day are on an average
four inches taller than the men Of
500 years ago and that the women are
five inches taller than the women of
1889.
The women are getting the most
of the education of to-day, and before
long, if the men continue to go into
business and get their recreation in
the evening playing billiards, while
the women follow intellectual pur-
suits, the latter will be the only edu-
Gated persons of the country.
Il don't know why the women
should not vote. I am tired listening
to these false statements about the
women to the effect that they were
made inferior to man and should be
kept subject to his authority and
should have no say in politics or in
religion. We are having too much
trouble over that statement of PauPs
that women should not talk in the

An independent Element.

Carbon is an elementary substance
widely diffused throughout nature. 1t
occurs uncombined in two distinct
forms or allotropic conditions, viz,
graphite or blacklead, and the dia-
mond, which is pure crystallized car
bon. 1t is, however, more commonly
found in combination with other elee-
mentary substances than in the free
state. United with oxygen, 1t occurs
In carbonic-acid gas (CO2), and exists
In the atmosphere, in natural waters,
In limestone, dolomite and ironstone.
In combination with hydrogen, 1t forms
the extensive series of chemical com
pounds known as hydrocarbons. 1t is
also an important constituent of wood,
starch, sugar, gum, oil, bone and flesh,
No other element is SO characteristic
| Of the plant and animal world as car
bon. In 1888 Lavoisier showed 1t to
be an independent element. He fur
thermore proved the diamond to be
the purest form of carbon, and by com
bustion converted 1t into carbonic-acid
gas
