LINCOLN, April 24.—(Special.)—Governor Bavage 18 allowed no peace from those who are clamoring for clemency in behalf of penitentiary = convicts. Today Mrs. P. Coursey Richards, after appearing in the trial as a complaining witness, went before the governor and pleaded for the pardon of her husband, who was recently convicted and sentenced in this city to twelve years imprisonment for assaulting his 12-year-old stepdaughter, Marle Magdantz, With tears streaming from her eyes she told the gov- ernor she had wronged her husband and that although she testified against him in court, she was now confident he was inno- cent. Richards was oonvicted on the testimony of Mrs. Richards, the girl vietim, and two physict: Mrs. Richards now declares that the prosecution was a conspiracy be- tween her sister and herself and that the charges were without foundation. The case presents several remarkable and even tounding features. The prisoner is 62 years of and for twenty years has been well known in loeal political circles. Governor Savage has promised to listen to any plea that may be based upon something tangtble, but he inslsts on having more convineing testimony than that giyen by Mrs. Richard: It is said that another physiclan has ex- amined the girl and 1s willing to give his word that the assault was not committed.

Janitors Threaten to Strike. Janitors at the state house are threaten- ing & strike because of the action of the State Board of Public Lands and Bulldings in ordering them to have all dandelion plants removed from the capitol lawn be- fore May 1. They say it will be impossible to do the work in the time allowed and that rather than pay other men to assist them they will give up their positions. The board has decreed that If the plants are not removed extra men will be employed | at the task and their pay deducted from | that of the regular janitors. Today two of the janitors were out on the lawn waglng | war ‘of extermination against the yellow | flowers, but thelr colleagues insisted that it was a useless effort. Traction Deal Pend!

I offered Mr. Scudder, the president of the company, $1,000,000 for the property.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 24.—(Special.)—Officials of the Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Republic have issued the fol- lowing orders to veterans for the observ- ance of Memorial day, May 30 e A third of a century ago the renowned volunteer soldier, our comrade, John Logan, by speclal order, designated May 30 as & day sacred to the memory of our dead comrades, and on which to decarate each soldier's grave with flowers and fo plant over it the flag under which he fought It 1s meet and proper for us to remember the sacred duty we owe to the memory of our comrades who have ‘crossed over to the other shore.” Let ug not forget that while, to many this day i& & memory of glorious deeds and battles won, to some, at least, it is a day of memory 'for unfor- gotten heroes, who dled that® this nation might live. Lest the rising generation forget, let me remind them that the patriotism and deeds of heroism of the dead and living of the civil war have given to this nation a mortal fame that commands the admira- tion of the world and bequeaths to genera- tions to come a heritage o full of. lessons of love and loyalty, so replete in unselfish sacrifices In_the cause of freedom, that only those devold of gratitude can ever forget the debt they can never repay those gray-haired veterans. Heretofore it has been the privilege of the surviving heroes of the civil war and the patriotic people of this nation to deco- rate with flowers and flags the last restin, place of their heroes, and as the Spanis war has shown that the worthy “‘sons of noble eires” will, whenever an opportunity ofters, follow the old flag to victory. even to the very heart of the celestial empire, it I8 earnestly recommended that all graves of those gallant boys of this war be decorated. Commanders, see to it that Memorial Sabbath is observed as sacredly as Me- morial day, and so arrange that all may attend, Post commanders will see to it that the Memorial day committee make proper ar- rangement with the school boards for patriotic_exercises in the public schools on the Friday preceding Memorial day, and that comrades be detailed to visit' each school at an hour agreed upon to conduct the services. Invite the members of your auxiliary o assist in these services, and where there are representatives of our de- partment of patriotic instruction consult With them in. relation to program, ete. It is the duty of the comrades to see that the flag, Is raised at half-mast on all public bulldings_and_every school house in the state on May %0 No effort should be spared to have all exercises and demonstrations consistent with the purposes to which this sacred day has been dedicated, and all exhibitions or amusements that would have a tendency to Qetract from its proper observance or pro- fane its solemn purpose should be promptly and emphatically discouraged and frowned upon by all good citizens. The thirtieth national encampment pro- vides that the reading of President coln's Gettysburg address be made a special feature of all Memorial day exercises held under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic. 1 hereby enclose same, and post commanders will see to it that it be read in connection with the services. Post chaplains will make full report of Memorial day services on the: fnclosed blank and return to the department chap- lain, whose name and address will be an- nounced in future orders.
