than two and a half hours. There

causing considerable merriment. The
school room was tastefuily decorated
with evergreens, autumn leaves, fruit,
vegetables, flags and colored drawings
on the blackboards. The school board

who delivered a very pleasing and in-
structive address on the mutual duties
to the school, closing with an original
humorous poem on the presidents Of

REITER MET HIS FATE
Hanged for Numbering Victor
Snellman.
DIED WITHOUT A STRUGGLE
He Bore up Well to the Last, and
Acknowledged the Punish
ment to be Just.
DIED WITHOUT A STRUGGLE

The first legal hanging that has ever
taken place in Clatsop county occurred
in the Jail yard yesterday, when John
Reiter suffered the death penalty for
the murder Of Victor Snellman in Aug
ust last, The condemned man slept
fairly well throughouf~t night. He
went to sleep about l a. m. and awoke
about 3. Shortly afterward he again
fell asleep and did not awaken until
about 6 o'clock. For breakfast he ate
some toast and scrambled eggs, and
drank a glass of milk. His fortltude
was remarkable, and he declined slim
ulants Of any kind, saying that he had
never taken whisky, and did not pro-
pose to begin at such late hour.
Rev, Leon Haupts remained with him
until late Thursday night, and again
visited the Jail at 10 O'clock yesterday
morning, praying for and singing with
the condemned man, and remaining
with him until the last.
Shortly before IL m, Sheriff Smith
read the death warrant, and then, with
Deputy Sheriff Mooer, escorted Reiter
to the scaffold, up the steps of which
he walked with firm tread and unassist-
ed. When he had ascended to the
platform, he held a paper in his hands.
From it he read, in slightly tremulous
tones, the following:

REITER,S HISTORY.

John Reiter was born in Creishau,
West Prussia, in February, 1872, and
was therefore less than % years old.
His father, who is dead, was farmer,
and left five sons, of whom the man
hanged yesterday was one, and three
sisters. Reiter received a letter from
his mother few days ago. and it was
only when speaking Of her that he
showed any signs of emotion since mis-
arrest and up to the fatal hour yester-
day. He came here in the British ship
Cabul from Antwerp, and deserted the
vessel in Portland, coming to this city
about the first of August, and hanging
around the lower end of town for a
couple of days. The rest has already
been told.

INTERESTING TO TRAVELLERS.

The following will be found instruct
i've and possibly profitable to those who
are in the habit of travelling:
Melville, Or, December /, 1893.
Editor Astorian:-
People travelling on the various lines
of railroad centering at Portland will
do well to keep their baggage until they
arrive in the metropolis where they
can get any express company or hotel
bus to forward trunks to any boat OF
depot for 25 cents each. The United
Carriage and Baggage Transfer Co.
sends out men on the various roads to
get all the baggage checks possible,
these men promising to forward the
trunks for 25 cents each to any
boat or depot. But when you want
your trunks you are charged double
this rate, or so cents for each trunk
Railroad companies will do well to Grad
icate this fraud from their lines. Yours
truly, d. j. INGALLS,.

REITER's LAST WORDS.

Fellow Men:-But a few words l have
to say to you. Before all of you here
present l acknowledge to be guilty of
the wilful and deliberate murder COM
mitted by me. The sentence pronounc-
ed upon me believe to be just and in
justice before God and before all men

der of which l have been found guilty.
With confidence and hope that the eter-

appear soon, and before whom l will
have to render an account, will grant
mercy and clemency to my poor soul
L hope for forgiveness and forgive all,
both friends and enemies, from the in
most recesses of my heart and assure
you that have no ill-will and no un-
charitable feelings toward any one.

itude to all the officers, from the sher-
iff to all the others, for their kind treat
ment and gentle, noble, and obliging
ways granted to me. They We're more
than l expected from them. Pray for
me. JOHN REITER.

THE LAST SCENE.


When he had finished reading, Sheriff
Smith and Deputy Sheriff Mooer
gan the work of pinioning him. This
was done with dexterity and celerity
which seldom comes, even with long
practice on such CHASTITY occasions. A
little over half a minute, and the DOOM
ed man was firmly bound. Rev, Haupts
then stepped forward and held a little
crucifiX to Reiter's lips This the latter
kissed with reverence, and then showed
signs of faintness. The sheriff support
ed him, at the same time saying:
Brace up for just a moment, and it
will soon be over"
The black cap was then pulled down
over his face, the moose quickly ad-
justed, with the huge knot close to the
car, and as Sheriff Smith lifted his
hand from the rope and stepped back,
the trap dropped and all was over in
an instant. John Reiter had paid the
penalty of his horrible crime, and poor
Victor Snellman, who was sent to meet
his God without a moments warning,
was in measure avenged.
The fall was "a inches, and the result,
as stated by the attending physicians,
was almost instantaneous death, the
neck being dislocated and the vertebrae
separated fully two inches. Had the
body dropped another foot the conse-
quences might have been so revolving
that not even the most morbidly curious
would ever have ventured to witness
another hanging. Drs. Baker, Estes,
Kinney. Belt, and Cliff, of st. Helens.
who We're present, examined the pulse
one minute after the body fell, and
found its beating to be 102, at the end
of the second minute it indicated 92; at
the third, 80; at the fourth, &c; at the
expiration of Az minutes, "A; at five
minutes it was barely perceptible, and
at 6h minutes it had ceased entirely.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
The news that murder had been
committed near Green Mountain, few
miles beyond Olney, was first brought
to this city on the 18th of August, and
Sheriff Smith promptly took the case
in hand, going out to the scene to make
an investigation. He learned that on
the Sd of August a stranger applied at
the house of Otto Johansen for work
There was nothing for him to do, but
instead he was kindly taken in and |
given supper and bed with Snellman, |
who was also a guest at the place |
The following morning Johansen and |
James p. Fox left the house for the |
purpose of cutting hay. leaving SHELL |
man and the stranger asleep When
they returned in the evening the two
visitors were gone, Snellman presum-
ably having wended his way toward |
town, as he stated the previous night
that his intention was to go to Astoria |
and purchase supplies, and at the same
time displaying some $22 in coins
various denominations. Snellman was
never again seen alive. but on the 18th |
of August the body was found by JON
athan Duncan and Louis Brazee. the
skull being fractured and the bowels
protruding from three terrible gashes
in the abdomen.

Poisoned by Scrofula

is The sad story Of many lives made
10 serable through no fault of their
own. Scrofula is more especially than
uly other a hereditary disease, and
ice this simple reason: Arising from
impure and insufficient blood, TIE dis.
euse locates itself in the lymphatics
which are composed of white tissues
there is a period of foetal life when
the whole body consists OF white It's
sues, and therefore the unborn child is
especially susceptible to this dreadful
a ,ease. But there is remedy for
scroiula, whether hereditary or ac-
quired. 1t is Hoods Sarsaparslla,
which by It's powerful effect on the
blood, expels all trace of the disease
aud gives to the vital fluid the quality
and color of health. If you decide to
take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept
any substitute.

No man is excusable for the neglect
of public duty, on the grounds of
private interest In the days when
the fires of patriotism burned bright.
ly on every hillside and all men felt
the divine spark glow and kindle in
their breasts, the public veal was
held the one great and paramount
object of interest among all classes.
The question then asked, when aught
was to be done for the country's good,
was, "does the welfare of the State de-
mand it," and not "can we afford the
sacrifice" Every man was then con-
sidered giant when the common
good furnished the inspiration. Sure
ly the old spirit is not wholly dead in
the present generation of mankind.
