KELLY IS HANGED.

away, of Saltwater, who defended Kelly
when on trial for his life, entered the
place.
Judge, I'm awful glad to see you,"
said the condemned man, coming to the
door OF his cell You're a true friend
You made hard fight for my life, and
l want you to say just a few words
over my body when l am dead"
The judge locked a moment at the
man in whose eyes tears glistened and
those about expected that he would
break down. Don't ask me to do THAI,
Kelly. l fought for your life as hard
as [ knew how. Let me send for a
minister"
The man whose thread of life was so
soon to be snapped hesitated but q
second, and then said in a firm, but
impressive, tone: "All right, Judge, I
will. L don't know much about there
being any hereafter, but if there is any
such thing there as memory, 1 will be
grateful to you"
Judge Nethaway then sent for Rev
Nelson, who, in a short time appeared
and was admitted to the mans cell.
Judge NethaWay stated to the news
paper men that Notwithstanding any
statements to the contrary. Kelly was
single man. He came from the state
Of Illinois, being born in Alton. He
had not seen his parents since he was
twelve years of age. He had told his
counsel he was one of three brothers;
had worked in the mines in Mexico
and had ridden on every road from
Ohio to Frisco. Kelly was, in Judge
Nethaway's opinion, no ordinary crook
but a cool, nervy desperate, not edu-
Gated. but naturally bright and quick
Witted. The only communication he
has had since his incarceration was Il
letter sent to a relative, who, he told
his counsel was to be given his dead
request. Judge hathaway explains TIA.
he believes Kelly to be a genuine
bandit, well posted in the intelligent
use Of fire arms, and possessed Of 6
keen wit. AS Illustrating this, the
judge said Kelly had told each Of his
guards different plausible story Of

CIGAR MEN KICK.
Object to Increased Duty on Havana
and Sumatra Tobacco.

Nearly one hundred cgarmakers are out
OF employment in Minneapolis at the present
time" said Frank Valesh yesterday, land
fully that number are laid off in st. Paul
This is almost entirely due to the DingIey
tariff bill now before congress. This measure
proposes to increase the duty Havana
tobacco 100 per cent and on Sumatra SO per
cent. That will make the tax on LEGO cigars
upwards of $40. This increase was made in
compliance with the wishes Of Eastern to-
bacco growers, but it is difficult to see what
advantage they will receive from so high
a tariff duty, while it will be a positive in
jury to the cigar industry.
THE first Mckinley tariff on tobacco was
considered pr0hibitive by the trade hut as
the smokers insisted on having Sumatra and
Havana tobacco in high grade cigars there
has been nearly as much of this kind Of to-
bacco used as before. No other industry
has been favored by congress as that of to-
bacco growing. But the experience of the
past seven years proves that even a high
tariff cannot produce a climate and soil to
grow fine favored tobacco. The native tobacco
is no more popular for cigars than it was
before the passage of the Mckinley act.
Prior to the passage of this measure the
manufacturers paid 81. rs a pound for Sumatra
wrappers and now they pay $4 a pound for
the same quality of stock. and they do not
receive any more for their cigars. The Ding
ley bill VIII make this kind of tobacco still
more expensive. By long established custom
the retail price of cigars is s. 10 and 10 cents
and unless the tariff on raw tobacco is made
so high as to add an extra five cents to each
cigar, which of course is impossible the ad-
ditiOnal cost will in most cases be taken out
of the wagers of the workmen.
This increase will also prove a heavy bur
den on the small manufacturers. Men who
have from $500 to $1,000 capital and employ
from two to five hands win find it almost
impossible to buy any of this high grade to-
bacco which their trade demands. The large
manufacturers who have their warehouses in
Havana and Holland the primary markets.
may possibly adjust themselves to the new
condition, but it will take several years and
an outlay Of extra capital
TO complicate matters still more, the
Dingley bill makes no increase in the duty
on imported cigars, thus making it easier
for the importers to compete with home man
ufacturers.'

from actual vacancies.
