him in Chicago several years before.
Czolgosz told me he intended killing
the president. He said he had gone
to Niagara Falls with that in view

o'clock. Czolgosz told me this was the
day that the killing was to take place.
He asked me to tie handkerchief
around his hand. did so and he plac-
ed a revolver in his hand under the
handkerchief. He asked me If I could
see that there was weapon In his
hand. I said that could not. Then
he told me hat was to 60 to the Tenn

hte same way as I had fixed his. If
the guards allowed me to get by he
would have no trouble, but il they
stopped me he would not try it. At the

stroyed by Fire. "|
Anaconda, Mon., Sept. 25.-The en-
tire plant of The Standard was de-
stroyed by fire during the afternoon.
The fire was caused by an explosion of
large gasoline tank in the composing
room from which the linotypes are
supplied with fuel.
1t Is thought defective connection
between one Of the machines and the
tank allowed the gasoline to escape
and that it ignited from the flame of
the metal pot on the Mergenthaler
and was quickly communicated to the
large tank resulting in a terrific ex-
plosion. The flames quickly. spread
and soon the entire structure was en-
veloped in flames and entirely con
sumed.
The total loss Is estimated at $780,

SEVEN YEARS FOR $40.

The action of Judge Sloan in impos-
ing a sentence of seven years in the
penitentiary upon John Scanlon for
the theft of $40 from the person of
stranger who arrived in the city on
night train and was passing from one
depot to another is heartily approved
by the public. This was not an ordi-
nary theft. 1t was a case of highway
robbery, accompanied by murderous
assault with deadly weapon. Had
the blow been a little harder, John
Scanlon would have been convicted of
murder instead of robbery. Seven
years in convict's cell is long time
and will give John Scanlon ample op-
portunity to reflect upon the enormity
of the crime which he committed. JUS
tice of the right stripe, after fair and
impartial trial has been melted out to
him and he can have no occasion for
complaint upon that score. The les
son should prove calutary one.
To the man who contemplates a
crime, think of Scanlon; to the man
across whose pathway temptation
throws it's shadow, think of Scanlon.
Yielding means Scanlon's fate. *

conceded on all sides that Captain
Harper has the qualifications for a

themselves strongly manifest in oppo,

With reference to what are known as

has been known for years as a warm
friend of the laboring man and as an
advocate of the shorter work day, and
the payment of the best of wages. The
working man can rest assured that in
Capt. Harper he will have represen-

interest in his welfare, and one who
will ever be ready to listen and give

THE PRIMARY ELECTION PLAN.

Members of the rank and file Of the
republican party in Wapello county
have frequently advocated the primary
election plan in place of the caucus
system now used in the county for
nominating candidates for public Office.
There are many who believe that the
primary plan is fairer in its operation
and better calculated to secure nomi-
nees who are the choice of a majority
of the party voters. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to note the ex-
perience of Warren county which has
tested the primary plan thoroughly.
In a recent editorial, the Indianola
Herald says of the matter:
Under no circumstances would the
republicans return again to the eau
Gus system, with it's tricks and conse-
quent dissatisfaction The Herald be-
lieves that all counties should adopt
that system, which places the largest
power in the hands of the people, and
none of which we have knowledge
comes SO near that point as does the
primary election plan"
The Courier will be glad to open it's
columns to FULL frank and free dis
cussion of this matter and will gladly
publish communications upon the sub.
ject from any one who has any opin-
ions which he would be pleased to
have presented to the public.

and has been city marshal of Eldon
