HOW GILBERT WENT.
Industry Murderer win Work in the
Deepest Mines.

Clay Center Times. Sheriff Cooper
took John Gilbert to Lansing Friday
morning, eighteen hours after Judge
Glass pronounced the sentence-death
by hanging after one year, subject to
the governors action. During the
entire trip not one sign Of regret or
remorse was perceptible on the stolid
countenance of the murderer, who, as
he sat gazing moodily from the car
window, viewed for the las. time the
rolling prairies and wooded streams.
Few words passed between the officer
and his charge, the matter uppermost
in their minds being entirely ignored.
When their destination was reached
Gilbert was turned over to the proper
authorities who took him in custody.
When last seen by Mr.. Cooper the
prisoner was marching up one of the
penitentiary thoroughfares with his
hands crossed on his chest. A guard
on either side accompanied him. MUIR
derers are generally sent into the
mines and it is probably there that
Gilbert will spend the remainder of
his life.

The Largest Paint Factory in the
World.

The largest Paint Manufacturing
Company in the world is +. W. Devoe
Il Co. Of New York and Chicago.
This great Paint firm Is also the old
est Mercantile firm In America being
established in l752--One Hundred
and Forty six years ago. While their
great offices and sale rooms are in
New York and Chicago, they occu.

Of Fifteen store rooms on the ground
floor where they manufacture Paint
Brushes OF all kinds and all kinds Of
artists materials. Their large warm
ish factory is located in Newark, N. j.,
and also another large Paint factory
in Chicago. This well known firm
does an immense business amounting
to many millions Of dollars annually.
They manufacture nothing but strict

They guarantee every article

they manufacture every article that

know what their paints contain and

Their fine tube paints are acknowl-

superior to any other manufacture,
also their complete line Of all artists

been made by artists OF the thin con

foreign makers. All Of this trouble
has been overcome by DevoeI& Co. so

NO DESIRE TO EMBARRAss THE
UNITED STATES.
The Wish and Purpose of the German
America-Hostile Fears at Rest.

WASHINGTON February 2S.-The
German government has set at rest
effectually the rumors of a purpose on
its part, directly or indirectly, to en-
barrass the United States in the Phil
ippine Islands, and has given a signal
manifestation of it's desire to promote
the most cordial relations between
Germany and the United States by or
dering the withdrawal of all vessels
of it's navy from Philippine waters and
placing the lives and property of its
subjects there under the protection of
the United States government.
This action is regarded as a master
stroke in diplomacy by which will be
removed all possibility of a clash be-
tween German and American interests
in and about Manila, and gives notice
to the world, and especially to any
Americans who entertained any suspi-
cion of sinister designs by Germany
of the wish and purpose of the Ger
man empire to cultivate the friendship
of the United States.
The announcement of this act of the
German government came at the close
of a day that has been full of sensa
tional rumors of a clash between the
Americans and Germans at Manila,
the rumors finally going so far as to
assert that Admiral Dewey had fired
on and sunk a German vessel in Ma
Mia harbOr.
Any lingering fears in naval circles
were set at rest finally at the close OF
the day by the receipt of some dis
patches from Manila, but without mem
ton OF any untoward incident.
1t is possible that the German ships
have been ordered 20 the new naval
station on the Chinese coast, for the
story has come to Washington that the
Chinese have been abusing German
citizens almost in the shadow of the
Chinese capital at Tien-tsin. The Ger
mans have come to believe that the
only way to meet such cases is by
punitive measures.
The German government followed its
announcement to the state department
of a purpose to order it's vessels away
from the Philippines with a formal ap-
plication to the United States govern
ment to undertake the protection of all
Germans in the Philippines, not only
in person but in property.

LITTLE CHANGE OF ACTION BY
PRESENT CONGRESS.
Not Even the Provision Applying to
Hawaii the T. s. Contract Labor
Laws Will Get Through.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-No
complete code of laws for Hawaii will
be adopted at this session, although at
the time the commission submitted it's
report conditions seemed favorable for
the enactment of some comprehensive
form of government for the Islands.
1t is even probable that the single pro-
vision applying to Hawaii the contract
labor laws of the United States will not
get through. The last and in some
ways among the most important of
prospective failures in contemplated
legislation is the code laws for Alaska,
which has passed the house and has
been reported favorably from the COM
mittee on territories of the senate, and
is now before the senate for consider
alton. 1t is feared however that until
the next session of congress Alaska
will continue to be governed by the
laws of Oregon.

IT'S DESIGN IS PERFECT.

The shipment of '99 Model Sterling
bicycles for the Pacific Cycle Company,
due to arrive on the Moana, did not
materialize. They received a sample
of the '99 model and are assured by the
factory that at least part of their
shipment will follow on the next stea-
mer. The sample is perfect in every
particular. Just who dictates the style
of machine each year is a question,
but the arbiter of fashion has decreed
that for the SO model the distinctive
changes are larger sprockets and short
er heads. Elaborate dynamameter tests
at Cornell University has demonstrat-
ed the fact that Morse roller-joint
chains give a higher efficiency than
other chains on the market. With an
efficiency of 991a per cent out of 100.
The rear wheel is brought up to the
seat post tube to give the right saddle
position and also leave the shortest
distance between the crank and rear
aXles. 1t is as near perfection as is
possible. The manufacturer of the
Sterling bows to the goddess and fol-
lows her dictates as far as is consist
ent with good mechanical construction.
