EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.
 It would be an excellent idea if the residents of the Street could arrange to have their lawns moved on the same day. This would insure unifor- mity. It is to be regretted that a few show a lack of public spirit by allow ing their lawns to grow up. Cannot we have revival of public spirit in this regard?
 To say the farmers are discouraged is putting the matter too mildly; in despair would more correctly express it. With six and one-half inches of rain and but 12 clear days in the month is as much of an extreme as the dry weather of last spring was the other way. In fact, the weather for. the last few years has been series of extremes either as to temperature or wet or dry season. Many of those who have moist or heavy land for corn or potatoes are about giving it up. The ground is so thoroughly saturated it can't get dry before another rain will come. A few have planted corn on drier ground. Early planted potatoes are coming up through the mud. Winter grain is growing so rank it will soon begin to lodge. A few tobacco beds are doing fairly we'll, the many are going back as the plants are e--turning yellow and dy- ing. There will be few plants ready to set next week. Grass and the hired men are about the only things profit ing by the present weather conditions However, we are confident there are better days in store for the farmers later on.

Auburn, Oct 2o.--Leon F. Szolgosz
will have paid tribute with his life to
the law as the murderer of President
Mckinley by 7 o'clock IS minutes Tues
day morning, and unless he undergoes
a great change of heart and strength in
the few hours of life left to him, he will
60 to the electric chair unconfessed and
unrepentant. He suffered slight nerv-
Gus attack late today, but remained sui
len and stoical up to the time the prison
closed at 10 o'clock. He refused to
heed the words of the priests who came
to urge spiritual preparation for DEATH
and declined to either re-embrace Ro-
man Catholicism or renounce anarch-
ism. Hence. unless he changes his mind
there will be no religious ceremony at
the end.
Czolgosz showed no strength of love
for kin nor did he turn to any of those
higher considerations which ordinarily
claim the thoughts of men occupying
his position. He may have suffered I'M
told torture, but outwardly seemed sui
len and Indifferent The state is not to
surrender possession of his body and
by shutdown it will have been secretly
inferred in ground controlled by the
officials of Auburn prison.
Waldeck CzolgoSz, a brother of the
murderer. foreseeing endless difficulties
and possible angry demonstrations as the
result of an attempt to give the body
ordinary burial, needed the advice of
Superintendent of State Prisons Col
Inns and Warden Meade, and finally re-
linquished all claim to it, He merely
stipulated that at the close of the
autopsy all parts of the body should be
buried All chance of an unhappy and
unfortunate sequel to the execution,
either in displays of popular contempt
or the exhibition of ghastly relics, is
therefore finally prevented
The plan of burning his clothing and
papers will be carried out Immediately
after the execution.
The electrical machine is ready for its
work: Auburn prison is carefully guard
ed; the city is in its normal calm. and
