Warden Reenter Is threatening; vengeance on the excise hoard these days because the board has taken from htm three of his best guards and placed them on the police force. Behind It all was an effort on the part of Warden Beemer to make It easier sailing for the convicts upon their release from the penitentiary. When the warden took: charge of the state prison it was tho cus tom to mall to the chiefs of police In Omaha and Lincoln a description of all the convicts released. Warden Beemer stopped this practice because he said the convicts would at once be placed under suspicion by the police, who would arrest them and exhibit them to the police force, giving In structions to the force .to keep an eye on the convicts. This custom Warden Beemex said made it hard for the convict to brace up and for that reason he stopped the practice. Inasmuch as there are a considerable number of convicts In Lincoln who make this their home after being released from the penitentiary, and usually there are sev eral paroled convicts here, most of whom congregate at one place In Lincoln, the ex cise board hit upon the plan of employing guards who knew the convicts, and plac ing them on the police force. Three guards have been employed recently. Warden Beemer objected to this not only because It keeps him busy breaking In new guards, but because he thinks It wrong to hava the ex-convlots know that they are being watched and that they are liable to arrest any minute, whether they do anything or not. Last summer the police had much trouble with ex-convlcts and paroled pris oners. Pardon for Life-Termers. C. C. Carleton of Dodge county and P5. J. Collins of Douglas county, for the last ten years residents of the state penitentiary, stand a mighty good chance to be par doned by Governor Mickey under the stat utes which provides that the chief Justice, the attorney general, secretary of state and warden of the penitentiary may recommend two prisoners for pardon on the nation's birthday. These are the two men recom mended. Last year Chief Justice Holcomb refused to make a recommendation, hold ing that the law was not good, but this year, while still retaining his old position, he' made the recommendation In an "ad visory capacity." Carleton was sentenced to be hanged for murder, but his sentence was commuted by Holcomb when he was governor. He was 24 years of age at the time he committed his crime and has been In the penitentiary since 1895. He married Minnie Gotham, who had stopped at his home while going through the country with several of her children in a mover's wagon. The woman afterward turned out to be the wife of a man named August Gotham, whom Carle ton shot and killed when the two had a dis cussion about the marriage. A hearing was granted to Carleton' s relatives and at torneys last summer by Governor Mickey, but the governor denied them the pardon or parole. Collins killed a man named Louts Mc pherson In the railroad yards at Valley, Douglas county, and was sentenced, for life. He and Collins had a fight and Mc pherson was shot. Collins began his sen tence in 1896. Session Laws Abont Ready. The first copies of the session laws are expected by the secretary of state by next Saturday. The contract made by the Printing board carries with it a penalty of 1 per cent of the total amount of the contract, $3.60 a page, for every day after July 1 that the books are not delivered. The printers have notified the secretary of state that the books will be here by July 1. Under the constitution the state Is required to get the books out within sixty- days after the legislature adjourned. This law imposing this duty on the sec retary of state has been supeseded by the law creating the Printing board, which provides that this board shall let all con tracts. According to this section the board has twenty days before advertising for bids for printing and it is required to give at least ten days' notice before letting the contract. This would con sume thirty days of the sixty; conse quently it is almost an Impossibility to get the books out within the stxtydays re quired by the constitution. Incidentally no one here knows when the senate and house journals will be out. The contract speci fies that they shall be completed within sixty days after the receipt by the printer of the last of the copy. The last of the copy is supposed to have been delivered to the printer at a very recent date. Ask for Mct'ormlok'a Release. Application was made to Governor Mickey today to look Into the case of John Mo Cormlck, sent to the penitentiary for twenty years from Nebraska City for shooting a woman. McCormlck's relatives believe that' If the governor looks Into the case thoroughly he will grant a pardon to the man. McCormlck's mother died several days ago and he was permitted to attend her funeral last Sunday. Governor May Hot Attend. Governor Mickey has not yet decided whether he will be able to attend the Lawson meeting at Falrbury, July 11. At the request of the Chautauqua Governor Mickey Invited Mr. Lawson to come to Falrbury, and today at the request of the Fremont Chautauqua he Invited Lawson to deliver an address at Its meeting. Charges Editor with Libel. A complaint charging crlmlnul libel was riled this afternoon in Justice Stevens' TWO STOR1F.S OF THE SHOOT1NO Only Point of Agreement Is that No One Was Injured. ALRION, Neb.. June 27. (Special.) Nick Copec. a life insurance agent hailing from St. Edward, visited Frank Malone, a farmer living east of here, last Sunday and took dinner with him. Thus tar all parties agree, but as to anything else that oc curred there Is a wide difference of opinion. Copec came to town Sunday evening and reported that, at the earnest solicitation of Malone, he had accepted an invitation to dine with the latter and, incidentally, write some life Insurance for Malone and his wife. He says that he had a gun in his pocket, a fact in some way known to Ma lone, and thft some time during the aft ernoon Malone asked him for the gun. which he readily gave him. but that he had no sooner done so than Malone ordered him out of the house and emphasized his order by taking several shots at him at close range. Copec said he was well satisfied that Malone was suffering from at least a temporary attack of aberration of the mind and that it was his duty to society to have his sanity examined into. He therefore filed a complaint before the Insanity com mission, charging Malone with being In sane. Malone came to town Monday morning and told his story to the county officials, but in many respects it falls to corroborate that of his guest. He says that Copec vis ited him Sunday, on his own motion and without any invitation on his (Malone's) part. That he came not only armed with a gun, but with a copious supply of fire water, about equally divided between his stomach and various pockets. That during his temporary absence from the house he was attracted by the outcry of his wife, and returning found the Insurance man was taking undue liberties with her. That upon entering the room Copec drew his gun, but during a souffle which followed Malone got possession of the weapon and emptied It, not at Copec, but in the nlr, solely for the purpose of accelerating his guest's exit. He threatens to begin crim inal proceedings against his former friend, and the end is not yet in sight. The In sanity board adjourned yesterday and will hear further evidence today. N of tic I.

In most of the central counties it rangod between two and four inches. Winter wheat Is ripening rapidly and the harvest has begun In southeastern coun ties. Wheat has rusted some in the re gions of heavy rainfall, but not enough to cause a material Injury to the crop. In general the damage by Hessian fly seems to be less than was exported and the crop now promises to lw better than seemed probable earlier In the season. Spring wheat and oats have grown well and Im proved in condition. Potatoes continue to grow well. The wet weather delayed al falfa harvest and damaged considerable of the crop In western counties. Clover and timothy are being cut. The prospect In most parts of the state Is for a large hay crop. Corn Is small, but has grown well the past week, except In northern counties, where the low temperature has been un favorable. In most of the state the crop Is free from weeds. Cultivation has been delayed this week by heavy rain, especially In northern and western counties, and the corn needs dry, warm weather and culti vation. SOUTHEASTERN SECTION.
