The last words he uttered We're to Sher-

the straps in the cell preparatory to Lead

possible"
Then he accompanied the sheriff out of
| the Jail down into the Jail yard through
the same window that Bill Gay and Big
gerstaff walked to death. It was the cli-
max to about the best example of human
nerve and endurance perhaps seen under
such awful circumstances in Montana in
many day.
Allen retired nearly at midnight after
an evening spent in bidding his mothev
goodbye, greeting friends for the last
time and writing letters. The death
watch said he was asleep soon after
touching his couch. He apparently slept
soundly.
Nearly o'clock this morning he was
awakened by Father O'Brien and Jailor
Marsh. About he got up and calmly
donned the new suit of black clothes the
sheriff had purchased for him yesterday.
Then he ate as heartily as he has for
months. He had almost anything he
wanted in the food line and appeared to
relish it.
Later when he was approached on the
subject of taking some sort of stimulant
he declined and went to his death with
out being buoyed up with any artificial
stimulant.
After breakfast he smoked a cigar,
then received his last spiritual consola-

1t was driZzling outside and the sky
was overcast but Allen did not look up.
AS he reached the ground the sheriff in
dicated the way, and when he took his
place upon the square of carpet directly
beneath the moose, Rev. Father O'Brien

brought down. The sheriff and under
sheriff laid the rope over his shoulders
and Mr.. McFarlane drew it tight, the
knot directly under the left ear. It was
the work of seconds only and during it
Allen stood unsupported, his eyes down
cast and his face calm.
Everybody expected then that he might
say something but his lips did not move.
No black cap was used This was omit
ted at Aliens special request While
many who did not know there would be
no cap We're wondering why it was not in
evidence, the sheriff raised his hand and
the man concealed behind the curtain
pressed the lever that released 45O pounds
of weight. The body shot upward and
settled back. When the body tightened

An Anti.BrpangIonigt Recipe,


At the anti-expanHionist conference
in Chicago, yesterday. Mr.. Herbert Ny
rick, Of Springfield. Massachusetts,, de-
lvered this formidable utterance:
Treat the Philippines as we are
treating Cuba-help the Filipinos to In
dependence upder the protectOrate Of
the United States Just as we are
pledged TO do for the cubanS Imme-
diately war win cease"
Il Is astounding that these protested
know-it-alls are guilty OF such pro-
found ignorance. or. can 1t be willful
MISUNDERSTANDING Of the facts. That
was exactly what the United States
wanted 70 do, but It did not suit the
scheming AguinRldo's purpose.
The crafty and corrupt leader Of the
Tagals saw in this an eclipse Of his
power. He demanded the instant rec
ignition Of the independence Of peo-
PIE that were not yet ready for complete
liberty, but who were more than ripe for
license and loot. That was their mala
object. What happened Immediately
after the surrender Of Manila by the
spaniards7 Those same FilipinOs
wanted to sack the city. and when for
hidden TO enter the gates by the United
States authorities acted like sullen
children deprived of a toy. Was there
any exaltation of patriotism in their
souls7 Was there any sentiment akin
to desire for independence under pre-
cautionary restrictions displayed Ia

They were asked to walt They re-
piled with bullets, At this point the
anti-expansIonists would have advised
our soldiers to retire. The consequences
Of such a procedure can be imagined.
The disgrace to the Nations arms ard
honor would have been permanent. The
situation seems to be too unanswerablc
for negative discussion. Cuba Is wait
ing patiently the action Of Congress.
Why could not the FlllpInos have done
the same? -"

the American Racing Yacht Has Cost
q Handsome Fortune.
A correspondent Of the Army and
Navy Journal having applied to 1t for
information on the subject, that paper
answers that the cost Of the building
of the Columbia has been varlously esti-
mated at from 100000 to $4,000, and
for the Shamrock at from $4,000 to
100000. It then adds:
"a summary OF the cost Of the Sham-
rock, based on estimates from various
sources, Is as follows; Construction
and rig, 100000; pay roll officers and
men, Including sallmakerB and car
penters $50 men), for FOUR months at
average Of $40, 1880; provisions for
men and officers at s. a week for Is
weeks, 1920; clothing for crew, $1,000;
for dry docking twice, 5000; tender at
$50 a day for 50 days, 5000; derrick
and lighter service, $500; tugboat at
$50 day for 90 days, $500; lighter for
storage OF spaTs for SIX weeks, $500;
freight for spars and sails by steamer,
$500; passage for 80 Workmen, rlggers,

tails, ETC., 5000; total. $4,000, II the
special services of the designer, Mr..
Fife, and Of 5ailmaker Ratsey. who
came to this country, are a charge
against the account the sum would, of
course, be SO much augmented. Recap
itulatlon shows that the Erin and
Shamrock represent frst cost Of $125,-
900. The cost Of running the Erin In

Lieutenant Reeves, Of the Fourth
United states Infantry, who has return
ed from the Philippines to nurse a
wound he received there. expresses
himself quite vigorously with regard to
the feeling among the soldiers In Luzon
against the so-called antl-imperialists.
The Columbus Dispatch reports him as
saying that Atkinson would not last as
long in the Philippines as snow bail
would in the month Of August. The
soIdlers would lynch him" This Is
very strong language. snd no doubt
somewhat Of an exaggeratlon Of what
would be done to the leader Of the Cop
perheads and admirers and abettors Of
Aguinaldo in this country. but at the
same time It shows the temper Of the
men who are being mallgned.
Lieutenant Reeves says with empha-
sis that the army would regard It's with
tdrawal as an Insult, and the people who
caused such an order to be issued as
the murderers of the Americans stu
upon the island. He is also emphatic
in declaring that the FllIpInos are ut
:terly incapable of governing them
selves. and that 1t would be criminal to
withdraw the army. The natives would
constantly be at war with each other.
.'There Is no dissatisfaction among the
troops, and believe II there had been

position to the conquest of the islands

used to as good living at home as they

This country is treated to the unusual
spectacle Of It's President visiting GER
tain sections Of the domain unfolding
the honor and dignity Of the Nation.
and encouraging the patriotism of the
people shown to a remarkable degree
wherever he has met them In numbers,
while the reverse is being done by a
man who was his opponent for the high
and exalted office he occupies.
No one questions the privilege that
Mr.. Bryan has of speaking whenever
he desires to, but the right is reserved
to the country to question his taste in
not only pushing himself forward con-
tinuously but displaying on occasions
too frequent to enumerate insufterable
egohsm.
President Mckinley has not dropped
one word of rebuke to those who are
assailIng him, but has spoken in an or
derby, dlgnifed strain Of the responsible
ties the Nation has assumed and the
trustthat has been imposed uponit. Mr.
Bryan, on the contrary, is wildly de-
claiming against an imaginary lrnper-
ialism, and impertinently associating
himself with Lincoln and Jefferson. He
would barter the honor Of the country,
humIliate her brave soldiers In the Phil
ippines and bring contempt on the Gag
that has never known a stain.
In his Lexington speech he reached a
very low level when he said, 1.-THE rail-
roads have been in politics before. We
have them In Nebraska, and / know IN
1895 nearly every railroad in this Nation
was hauling men to Canton, o., to up
hold the Nations financial policy"
OF all degrees of demagOgy this de.
sends to the bottomiess pit of clap
trap politics. But the people are not
fools, and in scanning both pictures
they win Judge with wisdom and choose
with discernment.

can recall the intense excitement the
affair caused at the time, While the
incident was not the moving cause Of
the outbreak Of hostilities between the
states two years later. 1t aggravated
the feeling then existing between the
