Beggars for Bread are Fed on Bullets.

San Antonia, Texas, October 3d.
News was received here to- day that
at Puruandiro, Michoacan, Mexico,
on October %, bread riot occurred
in which twenty persons were
wounded, many of them fatally.
The cause of the riot is said to
have been action of speculators in
cornering the supply of corn.
A corn famine has existed in that
section of Mexico for months, and
the government recently removed
the import duty on corn from the
United States as measure Of relief.
lt.is claimed that spectators cor
nered the shipments to Pnruandiro
and raised the price 100 per cent.
The starving people, driven to
desperation, attacked the warehouses,
the women and children leading the
assault. They were shot down by
the guards. Those who escaped the
bullets. appalled, at what had hap
pened, fled.
The conditions in that section of
the republic south of the City of
Mexico are described as terrible.
Puruandiro is about SO miles from
the railroad, and the last news from
there was that the situation was
critical and that moro bloodshed was
feared.
The government has started
troops to tho scene.

EXECUTION OF czOLGosz.
On Last Tuesday he Paid the Penalty for the
Murder OF President Mckinley.

Auburn, N. Y, October 29.-At
1880 o'clock this morning Leon
Czolgosz, murderer of President
Mckinley, paid the extreme penalty
by the law for his crime. lie was
shocked to death by seventeen hun
dred volts of electricity. lie went
to the chair.i in exactly the same man
ner in which have the majority of
murderers in this State, showing no
particular sign of fear, but in fact
doing what few of them have done
talking to the witnesses while he was
being strapped in the chair.
Czolgosz retired last night at 10
o'clock and slept so soundly that
when Warden Mead went to the cell
shortly before s o'clock this morning
the guard inside had to shake Czol-
gosz to awaken him. He sat upon
the edge of his cot and made no re-
ply to the wardcn's greeting of
"Good morning"
The prison official took from his
pocket the death warrant and read it
slowly and distinctly to the assassin,
who hardly raised his eyes to him
duriug the perfunctory ceremony.
Just as the warden stepped away
from the cell door Czolgosz called to
him and said
81 would like to talk with the SUI
perintendent."
The warden responded
Gle will be down presently"
Then the condemned man rolled
over on his cot apparently anxious
to sleep again.
At SIS, however, the guard
brought to him pair of dark trous-
ers with the left leg slit, 30 as to
allow the free application of the
electrode, and light gray outing
shirt. lie was told to get up and
puI IneSe on, winch ne dld.
Contrary to the usual custom he
was given a new pair of shoes.
When dressed he laid down on the
cot again and in this attitude the
superintendent found him at $50,
when he went down to visit him.
The superintendent stood in front of
the steel bars and when the guard
had called Czolgosz's attention he
said:
81 want to make a statement be-
fore you kill me-"
"What do you wish to say, Czol-
gosz ?" asked the superintendent.
81 want to make it when there are
n lot OF people present. want them
to hear me-" said the prisoner.
"Well, you cannot" said the su-
pcrintcndcnt.
"Then won't talk at ALL" said the
prisoner, sullenly.
AfCer the superintendent left the
guards brought Czolgosz's breakfast,
consisting of coffee, toast, eggs and
bacon, and he ate with quite a relish.
While ne was partaking of this the
witnesses were gathering in the
office of Warden Mead and at 7.0G
o'clock the procession passed to the
death chamber, going through the
long south corridor.
In the chamber Electrician Davis
and former Warden Thaycr, of Dan
nemora, had arranged the chair test,
placing bank of 90 incandesccnt
lights across the arms and connecting
the clectrode wires at either end.
The witnesses were ordered seated
and then the warden addressed them

who came to Valley City to teach
several years ago, and had only

prominent business man fell in

this was sweet wine and honey to

went away with the determination
to come to North Dakota and do
likewise.

As an investor IN gold bricks
Uncle Sam is unrivaled. During
the Spanish war he bought the
steamship OLDHAM for $250,000,
spent 100000 more in repairing
and fitting her Tor sea, renamed
her MCPHERSON and put her into
transport service. The other day
he sold her for $500. He paid
about 100000 for another vessel
called the Hartford and rechristen-
ed her Terry and was glad to get
rid Of her for $4,000. It is
absurd to suppose that ships fit to
send to sea filled with American
soldiers three years ago are worth
less old hulks today, good only to
be broken for scrap iron. Either
the government was cheated
shamefully by their former
owners, in collision with dis
honest officials, or it has been
robbed by the officials responsible
for the condemnation and sale of
the transports.

AMERICAN steel manufacturers
are offering wire rods delivered
in Manchester for $29.30 a ton.
For the same thing the price to
customers in this country is $50
a ton. That is to say, the Ameri-
can protective tariff, preventing
free competition, enables the
American manufacturer to charge
$50 to Americans for what he
sells to Englishmen for $29.30,
after freighting the goods across
the Atlantic. Either the Ameri-
can producer makes q profit by
selling his wire rods to the Eng
lishmen at $29.3O a ton or he does
not. IF he does not make prof,

LAST spring, according to the
Fargo papers, Chris. Nelson, q
Cass county farmer made an in
vestment of $216 in potatoes for
seeding last spring. He now has
crop worth $1,000. His net
gain will be $500, profit of
4,418 per cent. Nelson was SO
hard pressed when he desired to
SOW the potatoes he had to borrow
most of the money invested for
seed. His crop covers eight acres
and is yielding us bushels to the
acre, making total of $4,000
bushels. Potatoes are bringing 80
cents q bushel in the Moorhead
market, making the value of the
crop $1,000. Twenty per cent
of this amount will be eaten up by
various expenses, care of the crop,
digging, hauling to market, etc.
Thus Nelson will have net profit
of So, $3.50.

A COUPLE Of weeks ago Judge
Pollock of Fargo handed down an
important decision in q case from
Trail county which will be of
general interest to owners of stock
running at large. 1t involves q
construction of the proviso clause
to Section 6153 Of the code. The
main section makes any person
owning or having in his charge or
possession any horses. mules, cat
tie, goats, sheep or swine, liable
for any damage for trespass they
might commit upon the lands of
another; while the proviso clause
says that "none of the provisions
of this chapter shall be construed
as conflicting with the provisions
of Section l549 of the code" which
permits stock to run at large from
the first day of December (as
anended) until the first day of
April of each year. It was
held by the court that while
such stock from December to
April could not be taken up as
an estray, yet if they trespassed
upon the property of another and
committed any damages the owner
or persons having in possession
such stock would be liable to the
party damaged for the amount of
such damages. It is understood
that Judge Cowan of the second
district made a similar ruling
some time ago in his district.
