LIKE TWO SWANS.
Condemned Negroes Sing on the Way
to the Scaffold.

Washington, May 5-The double hang
ing of William Strather and Charles
Winston at the district Jail, passed off
quietly. The two cOlored men started
for the scaffold just at noon and seven
minutes later they were swinging from
the gallOws-
Several ministers were with them
throughout the morning and both men
neglected a light luncheon sent them
by the warden in order to sing and
pray with their spiritual advisers. Win
ston and Strather both sang on the
way from their cell to the scaffold and
continued to sing till the drop fell.
The crimes for which" Strather and
Winston suffered the extreme penalty
of the law were similar in the respect
that each killed a woman because of
jealousy. Strather's victim was Rose
Talbot, who had left her husband to
live with him. The deed was commit
ted with a Ratchet on October Is, 1897.
Winston shot his wife Emma while in
bed on December IS. 1897. He at first
claimed that his wife attempted to kill
him and then committed suicide. but at
a second trial he admitted having kill
ed the woman. There were two trials
in each case which We're conducted I'M
der the law permitting the jury to quail
ify it's verdict by the addition of the
words without capital punishment"
Justice Bradley, who presided, instruct
ed the jury that in order to qualify it's
verdict. there have been shown some
palliating, or mitigating circumstances.
This view of the law was upheld by
the district court of appeals, but on
appeal to the supreme court of the Uni
ted States the decision was reversed
and new trial ordered in each case.
At the second trial as at the first the
prisoners were found guilty and sem
fenced to be hanged today Efforts
were made to secure executive clemen-
ey without avail. Strathers was about
% years of age, his occupation being
that of newsboy, while Winston was
about "a years of age. Both men have
been exemplary prisoners and have
professed contritiOn for their crimes.

GAMBLING FARMERS.
Wall Street Lam bs Said to Be Mostly
Agriculturists

Washington, May 5-Mr. Legrande
Power, for eight years labor commits
sioner of Minnesota, was before the in
dustriaI commission today. He spoke
especially of farming conditions in the
northwestern states, saying that the
present tendency among farm hands
was toward the ownership of the land
and. that a greater per centage of farm
erS now owned their own land than 80
years ago. He also expressed the opin-
ion that the farmer who is in debt to-
day has ten times the opportunity to
discharge his obligation that the farm
er at the beginning of the century had
Mr.. Power thought the tendency was
towards small farms. and added that
the wheat and cotton and other pro-
ducts grown by the small farmer con-
trolled market prices.
Mr.. Power also said that many of the
agricultural colleges of the country
were conducted upon lines calculated 70
attract boys educated by them away
from the farms. Speculation in grain,
he said did not affect the prices of it,
except temporarily nor affect the farm
ers except SO far as they engaged in
speculation.

MUST BORROW STAMPS
Topeka PostOffice Left Without
Supplies.

Assistant Postmaster A. K. Rodgers
made a hasty trip to Lawrence this
morning to borrow some postage
stamps. All of the stamps belonging to
the Topeka office were locked up in
vault and nobody knew the combina-
ton to the vault. In fact, no living
person knows it
In the vault were the stamps which
were necessary for today's business,
and many of the blanks which are ex-
tremely necessary, such as the money
order blanks and others. Mr.. Rodgers
took an early morning train for Law
renee and secured $500 worth of stamps
and sufficient blanks to run the office
till the vault is opened.

FOLLOWS ON A WHEEL,
Woman With a Pistol Chases Hus-

ST. Louis, May 5.-A little woman
dressed in a bicycle suit of army blue
and giving her name as Ernie Bloss
searched the rogues' gallery for the
picture of a man named Warren Ben
nett Ulysses Russell Mayne, who mar
rieJl her at Fort Worth, Tex, one year

him all the way from Odessa, Tex, on

she finds the man she will shoot him.
The wronged woman believes that
Mayne has another wife at Quincy, Ill.
Before leaving his Texas wife, Mayne
told her that he had wealthy relatives

VIXEN ORDERED SOUTH
To Take the Place of the Detroit at
BIuefieIds.

Washington, May 5.-An order has
been made by the navy department for
the Immediate dispatch of the converted
yacht Vixen to BluefeIds, Nicaragua.
The Vixen is now a formidable light
ting out for a cruise to the Philippines
via the Suez route. The order to Mic
aragua will simply delay her arrival
at Manila; for it is. the intention of the
navy department to replace her in Mic
araguan waters by another gunboat at
an early date.
Tt is said at, the navy DEPARTMENT
that no advices of late have been re-
ceived from BluefieldSe tending to show
the existence of a crisis there, and it is
likely the purpose of sending the Vixen
is ITO replace the Detroit, which is too
large and of too great draft to render
the best service.
