WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Before leav-
ing for Ohio Secretary Foster held a
conference with Director Leech regard
ing the change Of the designs on the
ten-aent pieces, quarters and sill
yer aalf dollars to be coined at
the United Safes mints. As q re.
suit of this consultation the models
submitted for inspection were approved
and orders issued to have the dies cast
in accordance with the designs inspect
ed. Changes will be made on the OBJ
verse or front of all three coins by tak-
ing away the sitting figure holding a
shield with its right hand and q
liberty pole cap in it's left and
substituting medallion similar to that
on the silver dollars. While there will
not be the same face on all the coins,
yet all will have an ideal one and
shaped much like the lady of the
dollar. No change will be made
on the reverse side of the ten.
cent pieces, which will remain as ut
present inscribed lone dime" and
surrounded by wreath. While the
eagle must be retained according to
law on the quarter and half dollar, the
bird Of freedom will not occupy such q
conspicuous position and usurp all the
room, but will be reduced to more
subordinate position and bear in his

SUFFERING IN MEXICO.

tlon-Iierders Shoot Corn spsculator.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 23.-W. T.
Robertson. the contractor for the con-
struction of the Durango extension Of
the Mexican International road, has
arrived here. He states that trouble
between workmen employed on the
road and the thousands of half
starved natives who are seeking
work is all over and that the con-
struction work is progressing rap
idly. The destitution among the
people of that section of Mexico. he
states, is even worse than reported.
There is no bean crop and the natives
are compelled to live on the maguay
plant, the bulk Of which they waste.
The government has removed tempo
rarily the duty on corn on account Of
the famine, and large quantities are
being shipped from the United States
The furnished hordes, however, receive
but little benefit in prices, as the
corn falls into the hand Of spec
ulators, who have put the price
up to three dollars bushel. A few
days ago Joseph +. Baleras. wealthy
land owner living near Torron, re-
ceived big consignment Of corn, the
price Of which he placed at four dol
lars per busheL When the poor starv.
ing cattle nerdcrs Of the adjacent
haciendas learned Of his action a mob
proceeded to Baleras' home and shot him
to death. Cattle are in very poor con-
dition and sell at FROM five dollars to

LATER NEWS.
Vale Adelbort Goheen

FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Oct. 23.-Adel-
bert Goheen was hanged at 1915 this
morning for the murder of Rosa Bray.
There was no hitch or bungle, every
thing passed off AS intended. He died
as he said he would full of nervous
force and without exhibition of fear.
History of the crime for which Co
heen paid the highest penalty is as fol-
lows: Monday morning, March 23, 1891,
the body of Rosa Bray was found on
the Great Northern railroad crossing,
near Broadway, in Fergus Falls. She
had been dead some time and the body
was frozen stiff. 1t was at first sup
posed she had frozen to death, but at
the inquest two bullet wounds were
discovered, one back of the ear and the
other in her breast. Either would have
caused instant death. 1t was learned
that Adelbert Goheen. who had been
intimate with the woman, had disap-
peared on Sunday. the ed. Search for
him began, but it was not successful.
The following Sunday morning he re-
turned home voluntarily and was ar
rested.
At the trial parties testified that Co
heen was to meet Miss Bray that night;
that he was seen going toward her
rooms. Two people were seen walking
on the Great Northern track who re-
sembled Goheen and Miss Bray. Two
shots We're heard. Afterward man
was seen running who rcsembled Co
heen. Deputy Sheriff johnson de-
scribed Goheen's actions when arrested.
On his person were found number of
3s-caliber cartridges, which he was
trying to hide, being the same size as
those found in the woman's body.
Bowmaster. a fellow convict of Co
heen's at saltwater, visited Goheen in
Jail, and testified that he had asked
Goheen if he killed the girl and that
Goheen did not make any answer. but
winked at him. Goheen's brother, An
derson, and his mother testified that he
was not out of the house that evening.
that he slept with Anderson that night
and both retired at s p. III. Goheen's S
father refused to testify to this. 1t
took the jury just twenty hours to
agree and it brought in Il verdict of
guilty.
One day he made statement to
County Attorney DAILY, in the presence
of Sheriff Billings and Mr.. Mason, in
which he asserted that his brother, An
derson, was the murderer of Rosa Bray.
He was arrested and brought here
for trial. At the preliminary ex-
animation Goheen refused to go on
the stand to testify against Anderson
and the prisoner was discharged.
