DROUTH IN IIItOKEX IS JtEHRAHKA
Long Dry "pell Has Enabled Farmers
to Rather the Corn.
EDGAR, Neb., Dec. 29. (Special.) Rain
began falling here heavily this morning a
little after 3 o'clock and has continued, at
Intervals, all the morning. This la the
first rain here, that was anything more
than a mist, for three months. The weather
haa been extremely fine for gathering corn
and the farmers have their corn almost all
gathered and quite a large portion of It
Is marketed.
BEATRICE, Neb., Dec. 29. (Special Tele
gram.) A steady "rain has been falling
here all day. The moisture will help winter
wheat. It is growing colder this evening.
WAHOO. Neb., Dec. 29.-(8peclal.)-Raln
fell here all day Saturday and It Is ex
pected to turn Into snow.
ALBION, Neb., Dec. 29.-(Spec1al.) After
veral days of Florida weather, the sun
failed to make Its appearance this morn
ing, and rain began falling at an early
hour. The weather has been exceptionally
fine, and the absence of snliw has given
farmers an unusually good opportunity to
get the large crop of corn out of the
fields,
SCHUYLER. Neb.. Dec. 29.-(Speclal Tel
egram.) With the 'temperature ranging
from 35 to ,40 degrees above xero a light
rain set In this morning and kept on
throughout the day, causing about one Inch
of rainfall. The wenthsr for the last two
weeks has been more like spring than
winter.
HERMAN. Neb.. Dec. 29.-(Speclal.)-To-day
has been rainy at this place. There
have been many farmers in town, some
bringing corn, and they have had a hard
time to find a place to put it. All . the
elevators ore full and the railroad company
did not furnish any empty box cars today.
The roads have been In good condition all
winter until this rain and farmers have had
no troulile In moving their grain a good
deal faster than the elevators could handlo
It. It In hoped now that the elevators will
secure cara and get rid of some of their
grain so as to be able to handle more when
the roads get in good condition again.

not be a candidate.

mine that question, and It Is too far from
the convention to settle now."
Mr. Bryan wilt spend the remainder of
the holidays at his home at Falrvlew and
will depart January 6 for the Pacific coast
on a month's lecture tour.

MURDERER DRAWS A PARDON

Cot with Esrtine Tsn Years.
JURORS SIGN PETITION T GOVERNOR
State Board of I'arehase and 'applies
Lets Contracta for All of the
State Inatltntloaa for
Coming Quarter.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. 29. (Special.) Nicholas
J. Gentleman, convicted of murder In the
second degree and sentenced to nineteen
years in the penitentiary, haa received ex
ecutive clemency. Governor Mickey com
muted his sentence today to ten years and
Issued ;he following statement for publica
tion: The sentence of Nicholas J. Gentleman Is
hereby commuted to ten years for the fol
lowing reasons: Eleven of the Jurors who
sat on this case filed with the governor
their petition, duly signed by each of them,
as follows: "The undersigned Jurors, who
sat in the rase (if State against Nicholas
J. Gentleman. In Platte county. In Febru
ary, 1901, reaiectfully make the. following
representations: For several years before
the homicide Gen'leman had bee.n drinking
excessively and the crime was undoubtedly
the result of his long and excessive use of
Intoxicants. Before removing ftom the
farm to Platte Center he hid always been
a 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 Justifi
able." The other Juror, under date nf November
2". 11W5, addressed the governor as fol
lows: "As I was one of the twelve Jurymen
who found Nick Gentleman guilty In Platte
county, Nebraska, for which crime he has
since been Rervlng a nineteen-year sen
tence In the penitentiary, 1 would be
pleased now at this time If you would re
duce Ills sentence to a commitment of time,
and In my estimation he haa now nerved a
term adequate to his harsh act."
(Signed) FRANK MORSE.
One of the Twelve Jurymen.
The" verdict In this case was murder In
the second degree, and In commuting his
sentence to ten yeors this gives him the
minimum sentence for this crime.
MeBrlen Pleased with Meeting.
Superintendent MeBrlen today gave out
the following statement:
For twenty-one consecutive years I have
attended the Nebraska State Teachers' as
sociation. 1 do not hesitate to say that
the session JURt closed was the most suc
cessful meeting this association ever held.
This Is said in no disparagement of all the
other successful meetings during those
twenty-one years, for every one of them
was a splendid success. There was ono
thing, however, more prominent In the
session this year than In any other meeting
which I have attended. I mean the spirit
of fraternity that was manifest on every
hand. There was no political wire pulling
for tho honors of the association. The
election of Principal A. H. Waterhouse to
the presidency of the association came
without solicitation on his part as a fit
ting tribute to one who In a school man,
who despises the legerdemain trleks of the
politician. Mr. Waterhouse has no sj
perlor among the high school principals of
the United States. He will have the unani
mous support of every school man and
school woman In the state to make the
next association a greater meeting than
the one Just closed.
The success of the meeting this year Is
due to the consummate leadership of Prof.
W. L. Stephens and the officers of the as
sociation, every one of whom is deserving
of special praise. It was a great meeting.
