LAST OF CZOLGOSZ.
UNREPENTANT AND DE
FAINT HE GOES TO HIS
LONG HOME.

Auburn, Oot. 29.-The electric
current was applied promptly at
7:12 a. m. Thirty currents, of L.
700 volts were used. Czolgosz re-
fused to see priest or renounce
anarchy. He seemed sullen apd
Indifferent. When seated in the
chair facing the witness, he said:
81 shot the President because [
thought it would benefit the
working people of abominations
and am not sorry for the crime"
His last words were: 81 am
heartily sorry I did not see my
father" The autopsy was begun
by DR.. Mcdonald five minutes
after the execution. The body is
to be buried ia the prison cems-
tery. All of his clothing, letters
and eff cts we're burned immedi.
ately. leaving no relic of the
ghastly crime, The assassin's
last night was passed in quiet
sleep. He stously maintained TO
the last that he had no accom-.
plices.
Czolgosz held his last two In.
terviews last night, the first with
Superintendent Collins and the
second one was with his
brother and brother-in .law.
Both of the interviews were
brief, and the interviewers did
most Of the talking, until the
question of religion was meH-
toned, when CzoIgosz broke
from his seeming lethargy and
violently denounced the church
ard the clergy and made his rels
atives promise that there should
be no service for him living or
dead.
Prior to the late evening inter.
views Czolgosz reluctantly res
ceived Fathers Fudzinski and
Hickey. It was late in the after
noon andsoccurred after hel had
once refused to meet them. When
they reached the prison Superin-.
tendent Collins conveyed the re-
quest for an interview to the pris-
oner. Czolgosz sent back word
that he did not care to see them,
but the priests asked 10 be al
lowed to go to him, despite his
refusal.
Superintendent Collins con-
sented and personally escorted
them to the cell. The priests re.
NAMED with Cz 1lgosz for three
quarters of an hour and earnest
ly pleaded with the prisoner to
repent and pray for divine for
giveness. He rejected all their
advances, however, and they re-
g~etfully withdrew. They told
the prisoner they would hold
themselves ready to answer a
call from him at any hour of the
night.
Superintendent of State Prisons
Cornelius V. Collins and War
den J. Warren Mead, after hours
of controversy with Czolgosx's
brother Wsldeck, succeeded in
obtaining from him the following
signed relinquis bment of the fam
lily claims to the remains:
81 hereby authorize you, as
warden of Auburn Prison, to dis
| pose of the body of my brother,
Leon F. Czolgosz, by burying it
In the cemetery attached, to the
prison, as provided by the law of

part of the remains will be given
to any person or society, but that

GEO. D, GREEN.

vincing2 Is any other argument
needed? The writer Of the above
letter does not say that he thinks
it is best for the city to own its
water and light plants, but he
says: s-I know it is best" Then
he goes oD to. state his reasons,
which are that the water for fire
protection will cost nothing, that
Wilson is ''thriving town, with
fine water and the best lighted
town in North Carolina"
1t must be born in mind that
the town Of Wilson is paying the
interest on the bends, which is
$3.14O a year, and its running
expenses out of the amount COL
lected from the citizers for water,
and still gets lis water free. This
is done in town where the cen
sus population is only 5000, end
how much easier could the same
thing be done where the popula-
tion is nearly twice as large and
where the consumers must be cor
respondiogly larger!
In addition to the above letter.
we quote from Richard r. Ely,
Ph, D., associate professor of po-
litical economy il the Johns Hop
kins University, who wrote Tax
alton In American Sta es and

Wisconsin Crop Report.

United States Department of Agri-
culture, Climate and Crop Bulletin
Of she Weather Bureau, Wisconsin
Section, for the week enuing April %.
The week has been generally cool,
the mean tempera ture ranging from
40 degrees over the extreme south
eastern counties to 38 degrees along
the northern border Heavy frosts
occurred during the latter part of the
week, while in many localities in the
northern section ice formed to con-
earl 10 the week, but no general
rains. In some localities the soil is be-
coming dry, but generally there is
plenty Of moisture for present needs.
A light fall of snow occurred gener-
ally over the state during Sunday,
The week was quite favorable for
farm work where the soil was suf-
fciently dry, and. considerable seed
ing was done in the southern portion
of the state. 10 the central and north
ern counties very little work has been
done on the land, as the frost is not
yet out of the ground in many local
tiles. Generally the soil is reported
in fairly good condition. The opinion
is practically unanimous that winter
wheat and rye have come through the
winter without injury; and the pres
ent outlook for these crops is very
promising. There was ample snow
protection throughout the winter.
Reports indicate that there has been
much less winter-killing of clover
than for several years, although in
some localities where there was in
sufficient snow covering, the damage
is considerable
