His last sews for the city in this: -Years ago when we lived ia the city of Columbus and used to wonder if the merchants would ever wake ap aad make noise enough to let their whereabouts be known, it wae the custom of Judge Hensley, in the good old summer time, to wander over to the Loap river after church on 8unday morning, throw out his fishing book, baited with a frog's leg, and wait. Pa tience oa a monument doesn't express the apparent calm and placid content ment in the face and figure of the judge es ho eat on the river bank and listened to the babble of the waters and look for the bob of the bobber, and felt for the ' neck, of the mosquito that ever and anon inserted hie proboscis ia the beck of his sunburnt nook. The leh aught bite or net that was their baainem it mattered not to Judge Sens ley. He waa thinking, and the result of his thought wae made manifest here in Lincoln last 8atarday when he gave an exhibitionfore the oOoialsof the Bur lington railroad, of an emergency, car coupler, the details of which were work ed oat ia hk mind at the very time when enties testified that he had to think at all- This oounler was abowa to be a success in every particular.

ABmBA Neoratka Biek GcatkaWB The following interesting news con cerning a Platte county citizen ie taken from the Lincoln State Journal of Sun day issue: Governor Mickey issaed a commuta tion of sentence Saturday to Nicholas J. usoueman or natte county, serving nineteen years for murder in the second degree. Thesentenoe of Gentleman was commuted to ten years, the minimum aentence under the law for murder ia the aeoond degree, which will set him free in one year and a half. Gentleman killed a man named Olsoa, who waa trying to arrest him. Gentleman was intoxicated nt the tiam. The twelve jurymen have asked clemency for the convict Bels tives of the murdered man protested against clemency. Thesentenoe of Gen tlemen began March 1. 1901. He was thirty-eight years old when he was een teneed. With good time allowance hia term would expire April 7, 1914. Eleven of the jarore aigned the follow ing statement aad it was presented to Governor Mickey: - "The undersigned jurors who est in the case, State vs, Nicholas J. Gentleman, in Platte county in February, 1901, res pectfully make the following representa tions: For several years before the homicide Gentleman had been drinking excessively and the crime was undoubt edly the result of his long and excessive use of intoxicants. Before removing from the farm to .Platte Center he had always been n sober, industrious, law abiding 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 reduction of his sentence would be altogether justifiable." The other juror, Frank Morse, under date of November 20, 1905, addressed the governor as follows: "As I was one of the twelve jurymen who found Nick Gentleman guilty in Platte county. Ne braska, for which crime he has since been serving a nineteen-year sentence in the penitentiary, I would be pleased now at this time if yon would reduce his sentence to a commitment of time and in my estimation he has now served a term adequate to his harsh act" Iattitate, The Farmers' Institute will be held in Columbus, on Tuesday" and "Wednes day, January 8 and 0.
