Czolgosz sentenced to DIE In the Electric
Chair Next Month.
Buffalo, Sept. 27.--Leon Il, Czolgosz,
the assassin of President Mckinley,
was yesterday sentenced to die in the
electric chair in Auburn state prison
during the week beginning Oct. %,
1901. Before sentence was passed the
assassin evinced desire to speak, but
he could not get his voice above a
whisper, and his words were repeated
to the court by his counsel "There
was no one else but me-" the prisoner
said In whisper. ''No one else told
me to do it, and no one paid me to do
It, / was not told anything about the
crime, and | never thought anything
about that until couple of days be-
fore l committed the crime"
CZolgosZ then sat down. He was
quite calm, but 1t was evident that his
mind was flooded with thoughts of his
own distress. At this point Judge
Titus came over to the prisoner and
babe him good-by Czolgosz replied
very family, letting his eye rest upon
the man who has been his counsel.
"Good-by," he said weakly.
Czolgosz was then hurried down
stairs and through the tunnel of sobs'
to the Jail where he will remain until
removed to Auburn to pay the penalty
for his crime.
Sheriff Caldwell and sixteen men
left at 10:O6 p. m. yesterday with Czol-
gcsz for Auburn prison.

Of Interest to Taxpayers.

The startling fact was brought out in
remarkable paper read before the state
conference of heads of Institutions in
the office of the state board of control
that more money is spent by the people
of Iowa every year for the support of
the poor IN the several counties and
townships than is spent directly by the
state for the support of all the dozen
state charitable, penal and corrective
institutions and hospitals.
The paper referred to was prepared
by DR. w. r.. Patterson of the chair of
economics at the Iowa State University
who has for several years tabulated the
statistics for the board of control. He
set on foot the inquiry which developed
the facts regarding the inefliciency and
immense cost of the pauper system in
Iowa.
AS to the cost to the taxpayers of the
state of the present system of caring for
the poor, DIR. Patterson made starting
revelation. The 80 counties reporting
indoor relief paid out last year a total
of $245, 1892 AZ for support of almshouses.
There was paid out for groceries, light,
fuel, clothing, or indirect support in SO
counties, last year total of S349,23S. "a.
In 80 counties the total cost for relief
WAS STA 1896, or about 334 cents for each
inhabitant of the several counties. Els
timating the cost in the other counties
of the state the total comes up to S74s,-
1867 70. This is equal to 30 per cent. Of
the entire amount expended by the state
board of control on the state institu.
lions directly for support The amount
expended for poor relief exceeds, by
$49,907.0S the total amount expended
by the state annually for direct support
of all the state institutions under the
board of control.

fled that he did not inform Comman-
der Schley that the Spanish fleet was

the fact that he had positive orders
from the secretary of the navy to

squadron. Captain Wise notified Cap
tain Philip Of the Texas just as the
flying squadron WIS starting for Key
West to coal, and SO far as was deyel-
oped this important fact was not com
munlcated to Schley.
After Wise had been excused Ad-
mtral Cotton was recalled and asked
to relate n conversation ON the morning
Of May 81 when he Went OH board
Schley's flagship to deliver dispatches
He said: "He informed me that it had
been ascertained that some, ut least, OF
the ships of Admiral Cervera's squad

Spanish war, the navy department In
the Schley case desired to prove that

In conclusion Lord Kitchener de-
elares that having annexed the two re-
publics to Great Britain he cannot
break faith with the people who have
shown loyalty to the new regime, and
that so far as clemency to Cape rebels
is concerned, this is the prerogative
OF the ruler, which must be exercised
with unfettered discretion. A procla-
nation has been issued providing for
the sale of properties of burghers still

The Fair.

The Delaware County Fair held here
last week was success in every sense
of the word. Although the exhibits
were not as numerous as they have been
on former years, they were of very
satisfactory quality. Wednesday the
rain undoubtedly kept many from at
tending but yet there was US large an
attendance as there usually is on TIE
opening day. Thursday the gate re-
ceipts amounted to som ething like
s 300, and Friday there was fair sized
crowd.
The Floral Hall was fairly well filed
with displays of Manchester merchants
and products from Delaware County's
fields and gardens Finch & Lillibridge
and A. ID. Brown had excellent displays
of furniture while Grasstield Bros. had
nice display of stock from their shoe
store. The corn exhibit showed no
sign of the drouth Of last summer, it
being as good a showing as we have
ever seen. There were several good
exhibits of potatoes besides other veee-
tables and fruits of all kinds, pies, cakes,
canned goods, pumpkins, melons, and
fine samples of all kinds of grain. On
the second floor was placed the fancy
work of all kinds and descriptions of
which there was good showing. The
Manchester Wooden Mills had an exhibit
of their manufactured articles which
were revelation to those not knowing
of the output of these mills. David
Chamberlain and E. +. Farwell had
exhibits of sewing machines, Mrs. Ii.
r. Eaton exhibited hair work, and the
Quaker Mill Company displayed the
products of their mill.
About the grounds were scattered
the displays of the Cooper Wag
on Company, wagons and buggies;
Vermont Machine Co, cream seperators;
William Mcintosh, monuments; and
G. w. Miller, Young & Doty, and C. F.
Hamlin, farm machinery.
The poultry show was good there
being considerable competition for the
premiums.
There were large number of horses
on exhibit, among them being an ex-
hihit of the Holbert Co. of Greedy.
