Stayed with Him Until the
Last Moment.

Minneapolis, Dec. Hilary r.
Hayward was hanged in the Hennepin
County Jail this morning for the murder
Of Catherine Cling, Dec. 8, 1894.
The trap was sprung at exactly 2:o5
a. m. The position of the body and
the frightful swelling of the neck
caused every one to think that the neck
had been broken. At 2:1O DIR. Burton
put his ear to Hayward's heart and
listened intently. At the same moment
the black robe showed glistening drops
Of blood that trickled down and formed
q pool on the Aoor. The head hung fa1
forward, and the knot was directly be-
tween the ears. The murderer's feet
were within IS inches of the floor.
Hayward's dying statement made on
the gallows was as follows:
The Sheriff-Mr. Hayward, have you
any statement to make?
Hayward-Yes. Well, you all-there

the senate in advocacy of it.

I'm my judgment, the time has come
when the nation should put the question
beyond cavil: the time has come when the
nation by Its congress should declare the
doctrine which has been SO often declared
by its chief executives and other represent

positive language should be used than the

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
A New Preparation. Safe, Painless.
Convenient and Lasting Cure for
this Troublesome Disease.

We do not intend to indorse any
except articles of real merit. We
therefore take pleasure in calling at
tention to new pile cure which has
been remarkably successful in curing
every form of itching, bleeding or
protruding piles. The remedy is
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure and
is recommended by the best medical
authorities on account Of it's absolute
safety, ease of application and instant
relief from pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains no
opium or other poison and does not
interfere with daily occupation while
using. People who believed nothing
but surgical operation would cure
them have been astonished at the re-
suits from q single so cent package of
the Pyramid.
Mrs. Mary C. Tyler of Heppner,
Ore, writes: One package of Pyramid
Pile Cure entirely cured me of piles
from which have suffered for years,
and have never had the slightest
return of them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb.,
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace Of
itching piles. cannot thank you
enough for it.
The pyramid Pile Cure is sold by all
druggists at 80 cents and 81 per pack

A VILLAINS SECRET
Hayward Makes a Full Confession
Of Murder Of Catherine Cling.
Says He Also Planned to Kill BIixt,
But Was Baked by His
Victims Foresight.

| Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 10.-Harry
Hayward has confessed. Every shadow
of doubt as to his guilt in connection
with the murder of Catherine Cling
has been swept away by the voluntary
word of the assassin. In the still
watches OF the night Hayward turned
to County Physician Burton, who con-
stantly attends him, and, us to father
confessor, admitted that the gallows
were about to receive one of the guilt
lest wretches of the 10Th century. The
story of the crime he recited from be-
ginning to end, confessing that he alone
was the instigntor of the murderous
plot, and that Claus Bltxt was but his
tool. The story was told much as Blixt
told 1t on the stand. Harry reserved
not an iota of blame for himself.

I'VE cannot allow that any European
country under the pretense of aggrandiz-

what he asked of me to say. l pledged
it TO him, although if l honestly be-

Hayward spent the time until mid
night with Edward Goodsell his brother
Adry and stenographer. Supper was
served at midnight, and the visitors de-
parted. Hayward ate most hearty
supper, and appeared to greatly enjoy
this. his last meal
At o'clock Father Timothy of the
East Side and Rev. William Wilkinson
visited Hayward. Hayward had been
apprised of their presence in the Jail
and of their desire to see him. He accord.
ingly invited them in, and they stayed
Is minutes.
/ Haywards nerve served him to the
last. Those who prophesied that he
would weaken and be carried to the
gibbet were forced to admit that the
murderer of Catherine Cling was pos
sessed of more nerve and sand than
they believed any human being was
blessed with.

was the merriest of the entire popula
ton Of the Hennepin county Jail. He
sat until after o'clock. laughing anc
joking, making and taking jokes, anc
apparently trying to take the terror of
his own mind, and the minds of those
who were to kill him, and see hin
killed.
