tJNCOLN. Juno 17. (Special.) Qo Tern or
Mickey announced today that there would
bo no respite or reprlcr. (ranted to Mur
derer William Rhea. Ho Intend to settle
the matter finally, so that there will bo no
further agitation, and no other governor
will have tho responsibility Axed upon him.
Ho will stand read, however, until the last
hours to listen to any pleas In his behalf.
Tho attorneys for Rhea, have been given
another chance to present their case. The
governor has gone over tho record and
found nothing to Justify tho exercise of his
prerogative, but Is willing to have any
thing therein specially called to his atten
tion. Rhea has a death watch over him now.
Every moment of his time ho ts watched
ty one or two guards, and if he does give
tho gallows tho slip, as some of his old
erontea behind prison bars think ha Intends
to do, ho must have a new card up his
leere. Rhea gave up hope at tho time of
tho last hearing. He does not whimper or
whine, but spends his time reading re
Urtous works. Christian science appealed
to him for a time, but he seems to bo paying
leas attention to creeds than to finding
some solace that will prevent him from
dreading the final ordeal. Governor Mickey
says the man has lost his defiant attitude,
Speaks more gently and seems resigned.
Means m Coastltattoaal CoaTeatloa,
The decision of Judge Holmes yesterday
In knocking out tho constitution! amend
ment relating to tho length of legislative
sessions and pay of members will bo A big
boom for tho constitutional convention Idea,
At least that Is what Lincoln lawyers and
soma of the state officers think. Tho last
legislature provided for tho submission of
the Question of calling a constitutional
convention, and Governor Mickey's at
tempted veto will not prevent this, because
It Is held that he has no power to veto
such a Joint resolution.
Attorney General Prout thinks that this
decision will make the constitutional con
vention one of tho live Issues. It will bring
lots of pressure to bear on behalf of the
proposition, ss It will bo generally conceded
that the business of the Nebraska legisia
ture has grown so great that It will be Ira
possible to do the work In the forty days
allowed by the old constitution. If this
stands tho next legislature or two will have
to appoint a sifting committee soon after It
convenes.
Mr. Prout Is not talking for publication
and ho Intends appealing the ease, but It
Is understood that ho does not believe' tho
decision of Judges Holmes could bo over
turned.
Ceaatrr On to Organise.
Tho hlstorlo old Governor Butler mansion
which stands on a hill In the southwestern
part of the city, has been selected as the
future homo of tho Country club, newly or

The club will start out with 100 members,,

inally cost $30,000 and Is well preserved.
' After Normal School.
One month from tomorrow proposals for
the location of the new Normal school In
western Nebraska will be opened and from
this time on the aspirants for the location
Will be very busy perfecting plans for mak-
' Ing the best proposition possible. Several
of the cities that expect to compete have
the work of raising funds well In hand. At
Alnsworth the county commissioners have
Issued a calNfor a special election to vote
bonds In the sum of $10,000 to be offered In
addition to a suitable site. One city Is re
ported at the office of the state superln
tendent of Instruction to have raised a $15,
000 cash bonus. It Is suggested that If the
bonds carry at Alnsworth July 20 there Is
not going to be very much time left be
tween that date and the opening of the pro
posals In which to test the validity of tho
bonds should It bs questioned.

ASKED TO BE LOCKED UP
Qaeer Story of aa Iowa Man May Give

Horsethlef.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., June 17. (Spe
cial.) Tho Csss county officials believe that
they have at last secured a clue as to the
whereabouta of the fellow who waa at one
time the companion In crime with William
Jonea. the horsethlef who got one year at
the last term of district court and was
taken to tho penitentiary yesterday.
Sheriff McBrlde received a letter from
Sheriff Evans of Marlon, la., yesterday
stating that he had a fellow In Jail who
related a strange story. He requested the
officer there to lock him up, stating that he
was one of a party who stole some horses
In Cass county, and that one of the men
was arrested by the sheriff in Nebraska
City and waa later taken to the Platta
mouth Jail.
He further claimed to be one of the men
who helped to dispose of the stolen horses.
He gave his name aa L. H. Inlay, and Is
described as being about 2 years of age,
very short, slim built, light weight and
appears to be slightly demented. He Is also
ssld to be a cocaine and cigarette fiend, and
claims to have worked In Perry Utterback'o
restaurant In this city.
He Is now serving a seven days' sentence
In Jail at Marlon. The letter was shown to
Jones Just before he was started for the
pen and the latter admitted that the de
scription given was that of the man who
had been hla companion, and his conclu
sion was strengthened by the fact that the
man is addicted to the cocaine habit
Sheriff McBrlde will go to Marlon soon,
and It Is quite probable that the fellow will
be brought to Plattsmouth. Inlay says
that he has gone under the assumed names
of Frank Morris and Louis Lamont, and
that he has served terms In the peniten
tiaries In Kansas and Missouri.
At the time of Jones' arrest he claimed
to have been led Into the horse stealing
business by a man who told him It would
bring to him more money than he could
hope to make at ordinary farm labor.
