bility be decent member of society in
Indian Territory to-day.
When Bill was schoolboy at Fourteen
Mile Greek, midway between Fort Glib
son and Talequah, he fell in love with
pretty girl, Martha Pittman. Their ro-
nance ran along smoothly enough until
Bill was convicted of smuggling whisky
into the Territory-an offense that n great
many people are guilty of. Then Mar
tha's father vowed that his daughter
would never marry criminal, and when
Bill got out of Jail he was refused per-
mission to call on Martha. Like a true
sweetheart Martha stood by her lover,
but Bill refused to marry her without the
old mans consent and swore that if he
could not obtain it he'd go on the warpath
and put the whole Indian Territory on
the run at the point of his Winchester.
To the warpath he consequently took
when Martha's father remained obdur-
ate, and it must be said that he has kept
a considerable portion of the Territory on
the qui vive ever since. And here the
strangest part of the romance comes to
light. All through Bills train robbing ep-
isodes and robberies Martha remained
true, and finally her father, impressed
with Bills nerve, withdrew his objections
to the marriage and Is as anxious to have
Bill as a son-in-law. 1t is now said that

ally prosperous one for the Michigan
State Grange, the report of Secretary
Buell. showing that but three new subor-
dinate oranges had been organized ana
four dormant ones revived. Regular re-
ports were received from 22l subordinate
lodges The treasurer reported that the
receipts of the year were S4,I1O.Io and
the disbursements, $5.4S5.G4. There is
a cash balance on hand of 5000. State
Librarian Spencer addressed the order
on the subject of circulating libraries and
explained the workings of the New York
system, which he will endeavor to have
the next Legislature of the State adopt.
Mrs. Mary A. Mayo, of Battle Greek,
chairman of the committee on woman's
work. reported that the scheme of school
visitation had been very successfully car
ried out and women were urged to par
ticipate in school caucuses anu elections.
Several propositions to publish the grange

through such an orthodox headchoppsr

through such an orthodox headchopper
as Deibler, the French executioner. It
has been called the suicide gallows. By
most ingenious contrivance the male
factor is indirectly compelled to execute
himself. This extraordinary Connecticut
gibbet is connected with concealed
clockwork apparatus that operates 1t.
1t is a hydraulic, automatic affair, with
wheels and cogs, and springs and catches,
and the whole sinister and stealthily
working machinery Is invisible not only
to the condemned man on the scaffold,
but also to the officials and spectators.
Its operating machinery is so contrived
that the murderer in stepping on the drop
springs catch that puts in motion an
apparatus that in carefully regulated
period of time, which may be heightened
or shortened as the hangman desires,
springs the trap and launches him into
eternity Just as the old gibbet was wont
to do. The condemned man was marched
to the gallows stairs and led up on the
drop, his arms and legs strapped, the
moose adjusted, and the black cap drawn
over his face. In an instant, then, with
out warning, without a signal on the part
of anybody, without an aggressive move
ment from the hangman or others, with
out preliminary noise whatever on the
part of the concealed machinery, the
body of the criminal was shot into the
air.
Cronin had been hired man for Albert
Skinner, n thrifty South Windsor farmer,
for several months, and did good service
for him. He went on a prolonged spree,
had quarrel, and then fight with Skin
ner, and the latter threw him out of the
house. Cronin went away muttering
vengeance against his employer, and two
hours later returned with a double-bar-
relied shotgun and killed Skinner with
charge of heavy shot.

has there been such an opportunity.
Never have so many heads been bowed

George G. Truesdell by the accidental
tipping over of large stand lamp in the
parlor The children, none of whom were
over II years of age, were participants in

rushed wildly about until two or three of

pulled off. Several of them suffered pain

capped fatal burns. The interior of the

by Mr.. Eickhoff. The nomination was
seconded by Messrs. Cohen, Daily, and
McCraith. Mcbride was nominated by
Mr.. Penna and seconded by Mr.. Allen.
The vote proceeded without incident ex-
cept that several delegates announced that
they would vote against Gompers by in
struction from various unions. President
Gompers moved to make the vote unani-
nous for Mcbride. but objection was
made. Mr.. Gompers ut once wrote and
dispatched message of congratulation to
Mr.. Mcbride, who is i'll at his home.
Mr.. Gompers is member of the Cigar
makers union, and has held the position
of president of the American Federation
of Labor since 1882. From then until
1856 there was no salary attached to the
Office That year it was decided to make
the Office permanent one, and the salary
was fixed at $1,000. This was raised to
1900 in 1892. The first vice president of
the federation was Richard Powers,
elected in 1880; the second was John Jar
rett, elected in 1881. Gompers had felt
sure of reelection, but the dissatisfaction
with his course during the last few
m0nths has been growing steadily, and
tho ballot showed that n majority of the
delegates were against him. There were
many causes leading to his defeat. His
refusal to order general strike last sum-
nier was not well received by many of the
strongest unions. 1t was claimed by the
friends of Mr.. Debs that the assistance of
Gompers at the critical moment would
have brought victory to the strikers. They
thought that the head of the American
Federation had grown too conservative.
For first vice president Mrs. II. J. Nor
gan, of Chicago. and DR.. Mcclure. of
Philadelphia. were nominated. The vote
was 1,S65 for Mcclure, 226 for Mrs.

and that hundreds of people find an early

graduates of several schools of medicine
so that the movement is far from being
one-sided.
