most unusual accident occurred
on a farm near this city Saturday
afternoon. A horse became un-
manageable, and, running against
a corn shredding machine, the
animals tail was cut into small
bits clear up to its body. The
horse became wild with pain,
and, plunging among the other
horses at work at the shredder,
caused five teams to run away.
The horses of two teams fell in
to a we'll, but all were gotten out
alive. Several men were injured
in the panic of the horses, but
none was seriously hurt.

Forepaugh and Sells circus train

Baton Rouge at noon yesterday.
Four cars loaded with animal
cages were badly wrecked, but
none of the cages was torn open

through the wreck, but after
they had wandered about the

into Baton Rouge and corralled.

Buried and Forgot.

AUBURN, N. Y, 3O.-The last
words of Czolgosz, muttered
nervously with a feeble attempt
at defiance as he was being strap
ped in the death chair, were: 81
shot the President. l did it be-
cause I thought it would benefit
the good people-the working
people. l am not sorry for my
crime" 1t is hardly credible
that such words could be uttered
by a sane man, but strangely
enough the autopsy begun by the
physicians within two hours after
death fully confirmed the opin-
ions of all the expert alienists
who in his life pronounced him
to be of sound mind. He was a
moral pervert but not a mental
deficient. The theory that he was
swayed by yellow journals and
urged by anarchistic zealots thus
gains powerful support.
The autopsy disclosed no trace
of disease in brain or body. The
report of the physicians concludes
thus: mo anomalies are found.
The brain in general is well de-
veloped. sufficiently marked with
assures, and the lobes are in nor
NAL proportion" The post NOR
tenn occupied over three hours
and embraced a careful examina-
ton of all the organs as well as
the brain. The officers are sat-
isfed that they cannot be chafg fged
with having executed an insane
man. The report of the physi-
clans was not completed until
late yesterday.

MACY, Ind, Oct. 29-The death
of David Clemens, the oldest cit

this community. He lived with
his daughter, Mrs. Maggie Whit
more, south of town. He was
born in Ohio, and came to this
county in 1885. He was married
to Delilah Wildman, January 18,
1886 and would have been ninety
years old had he lived until No.
vember 10. He was a man of
great strength of character, and
his influence was felt in all that
he undertook. He had been mar
ried longer than any other man
in Miami county-sixty-six years.

TRADE DEPRESSION
English Cities Feel Effect of American
Competition and Boer War.

Competition and Boer War.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-Provincial
cities are showing signs of COM
mercial depression and the pro-
tracted strain of the war. Man
chester is fairly prosperous be
cause trade with India has inn
proved, but Bradford is in the
doleful dumps since the demand
for worsteds and woolens from
the United States has fallen off.
Other shipping markets are
quiet, and business with con-
tinental countries and South
America is slowly shrinking in
consequence of German compe-
tition. Towns like Leicester and
Northampton, which are de-
pendent upon hosiery ana the
shoe trade, are suffering heavily
from the competition of America
and Germany. The iron and
steel trade is wholly engrossed
with srumors of extraordinary
combination of capital and pro-
ductive resources for common
defense.

BACK IN LINE AGAIN
Senator Jones of Nevada Resumes His
Place IN the Republican Party.

RENO, New, Oct. 2S.-United
States Senator John p. Jones,
of Nevada, has made the an
nouncement to his friends that
the evolution of political issues
placed him again in alignment
with the republican party.
II have suffered no change in
any of the convictions l have en-
tertained in the past" said the
senator, land my return to the
republican party does violence
to none of those convictions. l
am as sincere a believer in the
doctrine of bimetallism as when
| left the republican party solely
for that cause, and were the con-
ditions today as then l would be
numbered among those defend
ing it. Fhe enormous output of
gold. however, has accomplished
what bimetallism would have ac-
complished. The silver issue is
dead and we are face to face with
other issues. l have always
acted with the republican party
upon every question but silver.
l believe that IN the alignment
of political parties today the re-
publican party is the only one
which is in touch with the econo-
mic progress of the twentieth
century"

There is undoubtedly a very

men, that the king will never live

to do in the passing of Czolgosz
was to bury his remains. The
burial took place in the latter
noon. The body was placed in a
coffin case and loaded on a wagon
which carried it by a roundabout
way to the prison cemetery. An
other wagon, going by another
route, had brought quicklime
and acids to the graveyard. The
precautions taken had been sue
cessful in avoiding a crowd, and
only a few persons saw the OBJ
jectionable scene which followed
when the coffin case was opened,
lowered into the grave, and
quicklime and acids dumped in.
Earth was shoveled on quickly
and the grave filled up. 1t will
be hard place to find by and by
for no mark will be put upon it.
Czolgosz's brother and brother
in-laws went to the prison while
the burial was going on. They
wanted to have last look at the
corpse. The sight was spared
them. 1t was learned afterward
that one of their objects in stay
ing here had been to get a GER
tifcate of the assassin's death to
aid them in an effort TO collect
some insurance from a fraternal
organization to which the
assassin had belonged.
The formalities of filing the
report of the jury who witnessed
the death. of the physicians who
performed the autopsy, and of
making up the prison records SO
as to close the case forever were
gone through with as in every
similar case and the whole affair
is ended so far as this world is
concerned. Czolgosz need be no
more recalled except in history.
What may lie in the future life
for his soul is beyond human
knowledge or wisdom.

tie said, none but necessary
words being spoken.
Shortly before Z o'clock the
witnesses for the execution be-
gan to appear at the prison and
were gathered in the warden's
Office, where they remained until
summoned TO the death chamber
exactly at the appointed time.
In three rows of chairs facing the
electric chair they silently took
their seats and with no delay
Czolgosz was brought in between
guards, his steps dragging and
his face ashen white, but other
wise sullen and apathetic to the
last.
The proceedings went rapidly
and silently forward, exactly as
arranged, but without any undue
or violent haste. The prisoner
was gently seated IN the chair.
the straps about his arms, legs
and breast were adjusted, then
the fatal band was drawn across
his forehead and solemn,
breathless hush settled upon the
witnesses as the warden made
his final examination and step
ped back to give the signal.
The prisoner wore only pair
of black trousers, a loose gray
shirt and pair of gray socks as
he was brought to the execution.
The shirt was open at the neck
and the left leg of the pants was
slit at the bottom to permit con-
tact with the electrode and
sponge. In the adjoining room
stood the table prepared for the
autopsy and close by was the
plain pine coffin, stained black.
AT the warden's sign a current
of 1,800 volts shot through the
condemned man, a violent tremor
agitated his frame and he seemed
to collapse into nerveless
bunch. Physicians stepped to
his side at once to count the
heart beats as life departed.
Czolgosz gasped and moaned
once. The current was shut off
and again sent coursing through
his frame. At 7:18 the signal
was given and at 7:25 the man
was pronounced to be dead.
The twenty-six witnesses drew
a quick sigh of relief and hastily
filed from the room, and the dead
body of the anarchist was left to
the autopsy and the grave, none
of the particulars of which have
yet been given out.

1t is original with B. 81. Giger

farmers of the wheat belt of the

Every farmer is to sign an
agreement not to raise an acre of

the price of wheat. Each town
ship will be organized, then the
counties, and later the states.
Each farmer will contribute 81

he signs the agreement.
