room where Czologsz was being exam

oner he said he knew him in Clevu-
land two years ago At that time
Nowak was a reporter on a foreign
newspaper, and in common with him
and a number of his countrymen
formed a social organization that later
developed into a socialistic club and he
(NOWak) withdrew from it. He states
that he remembers some of the radical
resolutions adopted by the club and
brought to him for use in his paper
He had always found it necessary to
alter them materially to make them
proper material for publication. He
said that Czologsz was without sufii-
cient intelligence to organize such a
crime as the prisoner had been guilty

room where the conference was held

With a common impulse to spare the
sufferer the annoyance that noise would
i1i1ict, the public avoids the neighbor-
hood where the Milburn residence is
located Early in the night a small
crowd gathered near the house eager
for news of the president, but the po-
lice had no trouble to keep the people
at proper distance

Early this morning a detachment of
the Fourteenth United States infantry
was ordered to the house from FIT Por-

front of the house. but the sentries
found no work to do. Ropes were
stretched across Delaware avenue in
order to keep teams off that thorough
fare A party of reporters kept a lonely
vigil during the night. but beside them
there were not a dozen persons in the
neighborhood at 7:3O o'clock this morn
ing. The Milburn residence is a large
two and half story brick building and
it stands on the west side of Delaware
avenue two doors from the corner of
West Ferry street. Graceful ivy climbs
over the front of it and on the large
lawn which surrounds 1T are a number
of pretty shade trees. The president
lies in the rear room on the second
floor The room was chosen because it
insured the greater quiet. Telegraph
wires have been strung to the stable
in the rear of the Milburn residence
and an office established there.
The bulletins telling of the condition
Of the president are sent there by DR..

Leon F. Czologsz. the man who shot
the president, slept in comfort after his
crime. He was locked up at No. 1 po-
lice station and after he had been in
terviewed by the officers of the law, a
watch of two men was placed over him.
He went to his bunk early and was
soon asleep. He seemed without re-
gret and undisturbed by the prospect
of punishment for his crime.

country has been set in motion to ex-
pose the plot against the life of the

SAYS HE WAS ALONE.
Czologsz insists that he alone planned
the crime which may rob the United
States Of its chief executive, but. that
statement is not accepted as true.
There is a belief that he was aided by
others in a deliberate plot and that
confederates accompanied him to Buff

privately, and if they have made any
progress toward the establishment Of
the plot theory they have not divulged

state legislature is the combination
OF members from counties having
public institutions. These members
are rated at home by what they can
do for the home institution, and as
a result they struggle to get all the
money possible appropriated. To
do SO they must combine and near
ly all other measures are subject to
this influence. 1t is an unwhol e.
some condition, detrimental to the
individual and the state. One pos
slble remedy suggested for this evil
is to pass a law setting asi lie 4 regu-
lar sum for these institutions, and
remove the lobbying and log rolling
persisted in at each session.
The usual woman's suffrage bill is
on the calandar, ready to meet it's
accustomed fate. These legislative
mon archs will not surrender their
rights-the mean things!
This legislature can immortalize
itself il it ciystalizes prevailing
sentiment that we have too many
elections. There is talk Of giving
the people rest from politics by
providing Tor the election OF Judges,
County Commissioners, etc. at reg
ular elections. Such u law would
surely meet the approval OF busy
people-and the leg pullers can play

These things con be seen and readily
proven in the work of nealy every
legislature and in nearly every coun-
ty. 1t happens this time that the
penny. wise policy is attempted on
the newspapers. Is it strange that
they have shown fight? Some OF
the legislators are now sorry they
let go without selecting a soft place
to light.
There is a $25, 900 deficiency in
the wolf bounty fund, and the legis-
lature refused to appropriate the
money to pay for statutory pro
vision. Can state dodge its obi
cations when an individual cannot?
A representative OF the Pan-Amer-
lean exp position at Buffalo was in
Pierre last eek to get the legisla-
ture to appropriate something for
an exhibit. but the solons were agin
it. They were right, too. The
states cannot afford to put up for
every enterprising city that wants a
show to bring in a crowd.
In his last message Gov. Lee
recommended that the offices OF
some republican officials be in
yestigated, and the senate has
agreed to take him at his word, in

other fellow he must expect the 9th.

SAVING MONEY.

y" HEN it comes to saving money
w on the Dry Goods and things that
you have to buy. it is more than proba-
BILE that we can save you more money
than any store in York county. Why?
Because, we buy in large quantities;
we buy our goods very close; our ex-
penses for rent, clerk hire, ETC., are
lower than in the larger towns. and
then, too. we do not have any taxes to
pay on water bonds. electric lights, ETC.,
which serve to make more expense.
These expenses always make your pur-
chases come higher. and it stands to
reason that we can save you money be-
cause we can run our business at a
much smaller per centage of profit.
And then, too, please remember, that
while We will sell you for less money,
We will not sell you any shoddy stuff or
trash, uut strictly first-class. up-to-date
and stylish goods. See us before you
buy anything in our line and we will
prove our claims.
