ATONED FOR HIS CRIME.
L. W, Nelson, the Murderer, Executed
at Grants Pass.

l.. W, Nelson, the Murderer, Executed
at Grants Pass.
Grants Pass, July 5.-Lemuel W.
Nelson was executed here today. He
abandoned all hope yesterday, and was
taken into the Episcopal church and
baptized by Rev. Isaac Dawson.
He spent the day in reading and
in writing letters, and was more calm
than any one else about the Jail He
slept well last night and ate hearty
breakfast this morning He refused to
discuss the crime or his position, saying
only when asked that he was innocent.
He was very much affected by the
church ceremonies and the singing, and
wept quietly.
There was great many people in
town to witness the hanging. Sheriff
Hiatt issued 100 invitations, and be-
sides those in the enclosed space the
courthouse yard is well filled. The
board fence around the scaffold is so
constructed that good view of the pro-
ceedings can be had from the main
yard and street. About 500 people wit
messed the execution.
Rev. Dawson went into the Jail at
S:45 this morning. Nelson made a iull
confession of lthe crime. Sheriff Hiatt
had the death warrant at 9:4O, and at
1908 Rev. Dawson prayed his last
prayer.
At 1901 Sheriff Hiatt and his depu-
ties, with Nelson, ascended the scaf-
fold. When asked if he had anything
to say, Nelson said:
II am guilty of killing Perry, and
am sorry for it. May God have mercy
on my guilty SOUL"
Nelson was perfectly composed and
calm. He bid the sheriff goodbye,
and at 1913 the drop was sprung. Mel
sons neck was broken and death was
At 1922 he was pro-
nounced dead by the physicians and cut
down. He will be buried in the pau
per graveyard at the expense of the
county. He wrote long letter to his
wife yesterday.

He who worships at the shrine of pub
lie sentiment serves foolish and tickle
dame. The editor who tries to ride into
favor on the waves Of public sentiment
has a good deal of walking to do, and un-
pleasant walking at that. Public senti-
ment changes with the wind, is often
wrong. Public conviction is near
ly always right. Public sentiment
would have made the lowly Naza-
rene an earthly king, ruler among
men, and yet In but a brief space
Of time public sentiment crucified him.
Public sentiment, as it is known today,
goes to extremes. 1t flops flippantly
from execration to oxidation, from
praises to curses. He who goes with II
must watch the weather vane and bis
course Is uncertain. Today public senti-
ment takes up a man and questions the
integrity of those who do not sound bis
praises, but brief spell and all will
change. The idol of today will b shat
tered tomorrow. The man whose course
10 along the line Of what seems right
wins In the end.-Exchange.

Where the Pension Money Goes

L
Said an old soldier and pensioner to the
Washington Post: 81 notice within the
past few days three editorials upon the
matter of pensions, and, as zone of them,
am gratified to note their ability and
tenor. There is one point to me as hav-
ing been brought out in discussion. And
that is the point-what becomes of the
money? In all the workings of this great
government there is nothing comparable
to the pension payment in the direct
benefit of the citizens of the country. 1t
is taxed from them as the mists and dews
of evening, and returns in the showers
that fall alike upon the just and the un-
just. Thee is no corporation, no bust
ness, no interest of whatsoever kind,
from the greatest city to the lowest ham,
let, from the largest emporium to the
peddler by the wayside, that does not
benefit from the generous floods that
pOurs over the entire country every
quarter in every year. When he went
forth to war, these pensions did not exist
as an inducement. A grateful country.
considering we earned :hem, has since
conferred them upon ue; and We freely
put them where they will DO the most
good. The puzzle to me is why any one
should want to kill the goose that lays
such golden eggs"

sleeping on the floor with his head in

must have approached and placed
large calibre revolver at his head
and fired two shots. One ball
entered the left temple and came out
ct the top of his head. Another ball
entered the cheek and ranged down
ward, lodging somewhere in the
body. As yet there is no clue and
no arrest has been made.
