DEATH
Sentence Placed Upon Ohio Soldier
~ " BOy,

Special to the Leader.
GAINESVILLE, O., Aug. 1O.-Great re-
gret is felt here at the announcement
from Washington that President Nc
Kinley has approved of the death
sentence in the case of Phineas Fouts
a private in Company X, Nineteenth
United States Infantry. Fouts was
convicted by the general courtmartial
at Cebu last November of stabbing
Genevivia Torres, a native Filipino
girl of great beauty, with whom he
was desperately in love, to death with
q sword cane. The court sentenced
him to be hanged The President ap-
proves the sentence and directs that it
be carried out at such time as the
commandant of the Viscayas may di-
rect.
Fouts' home is in GAINESVILLE and
sister and brother live here. He al
ways bore an excellent reputation
here. He enlisted in Company L,
Tenth o. V. l., during the war with
Spain and later in the Regulars at
Columbus, being assigned to the Nine
teonth General AXline who COM
manded the Tenth, Captain Reynolds,
who commanded Company l., and
many GAINESVILLE people interested
themselves in securing clemency for
the young soldier, but without avail.
1t is said that the killing was particu-
larly coldblooded, the girl having
done nothing more than to refuse to
marry Fouts.

BIG CARNIVAL OF ELKS.
Arrangements All Complete for Gath
ering at Mlwaukec-Parad ON
Tuesday.

Milwaukee, July ga few days
more and the Elks' reunion and car
nival, predicted to be the best ever held
in this country, will be on in full blast.
The city will be turned over to the
visitors, and when, on Thursday night,
the ball at the Exposition building is
ended, the carnival and reunion will be
over. In mind, however, it promises
to live indefinitely. Members of the
carnival executive committee say that
the carnival will not only be the big
gest thing ever held in Milwaukee but
that it will surpass anything of it's
kind ever held in this country. One
prominent Elk in position to know
has gone so far as to make a wager
that at least $4,000 Elks will register.
All arrangements for the military
and civic parade on Tuesday afternoon,
for the Elks' parade on Wednesday aft
ernoon and for the carnival parade
on Thursday afternoon have been COM
pleted, and the executive committee
has announced that the parades will
be an unqualified success.
The carnival will close on Thursday
night with a grand ball at the EXPOSE
ton building.

Firebugs Evidently at work.

Nation, Ill, July 22.-This city has
suffered IS confagrations in the last
four weeks, entailing an aggregate
loss of 50, 100000. Sunday night three
fires broke out in different portions
of the city in the pace Of two hours.
All were of incendiary origin. The
authorities have been destroying
gambling outfits and enforcing the
law against vice, and the fires are be-
lieved to be the result of retaliatory
measures. A vigilance committee is
to be appointed, and extra guards
will patrol the business and resident
portion of the city.

HIS HELPMATE GONE.
Heavy Loss Comes to Former Pres
ident of Transvaal.

Paris, July GA dispatch from
Brussels says former President Kru-
ger has been notified by cable that
his wife died Saturday at Pretoria.
Broken in Spirit.
Pretoria, July 22.---Mrs. Kruger's
long separation from her husband,
combined with the death Of her favor
lite daughter, Mrs. Smith, last week,
had completely broken her spirit, Mr..
Eloff and many other members of the
Kruger family were at her bedside
when she passed away.
Mr.. Kruger in Tears.
London, July Blowing to the Sun
day telegraph hours in Holland" says
a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Hill
versum, "Mr. Kruger was not informed
of his wife's death until the evening.
The news was broken to him by DIR.
Heymans and Secretary Boeschoten.
Mr.. Kruger, who had just returned
from Hilyersum church, burst into
tears and asked to be left alone. He
exclaimed: she was good wife. We
quarreled only once and that was six
months after we were married. He
prayed for a long time and is now
calmly sleeping, his Bible beside his
bed. The Transvaal and Orange Free
State flags flying above the white villa
were draped and half-masted. Shortly
before the news came a crowd Of coun-
try girls had been singing folk-song
outside the villa"
sympathy for Kruger.
London, July 29.--An the morning
papers publish kindly editorials con-
corning the death of Mrs. Kruger,
and express sympathy with Mr..
Kruger. The Times begins thus:
"The English people will feel genuine
sympathy with the aged ex-presldent
of the Transvaal in the severe do
mestic bereavement which has be-
fallen him." This is followed by a
eulogy of Mrs. Kruger.
An UnRssuming Woman.
1.-THE death of his wife will doubtless
prove a severe blow to Paul Kruger, for
they were devoted to each other, and II is
said that the former Transvaal president
followed the advice OF his wife in prefer
ence to that of any OF his associates She
was the Ideal of a helpmate according to
the philosophy Of the Beers. She was
highly accomplished in all the arts OF do
mestlcity, but she knew little or cared lit
tie for accomplishments that would shine
in the salon. When Paul courted her he
was plain Paulus Kruger and she Miss Du
Plessis. She had in fun the qualification
Of Boer wife. She could bake, she could
sew, she could sweep, she could scrub.
But after her husbands rse to power she
showed that she could also save, for It is
said that the former president of the South
African republic Is worth ABOUT SIS, 900 go.
Mime. Kruger did not care for show. With
a fortune like that she could have lived in
oriental splendor, but there is not a we'll
TODD burgher in the TransVaal who has not
as pretentiOus a residence Of Dom Paul and
his wife. The presidents salary was SIS coo
a year, and yet madame superintended her
own kitchen, Her dresses were simple in
the extreme. A gown OF plain black was
the most gorgeous raiment she possessed
II Nine. Kruger was not the best housewife
in all South Africa she was certainly very
near TO that enviable distInction.l

Strike COIInnses.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 22.-The sta
tionary firemen's strike has practical
ly collapsed. At conference here
Sunday between the executive board
of the United Mine Workers and the

pointed TO wait on the coal compa-

The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-07-25
SERIOUS COMPLICATION.
Arises I'm Firemen's Strike Owing to
order of United Mine Workers.

Scranton, Pa, July 20.-There is
serious complication in the strike
OF the. stationary fremen. 1t arises
from the order of the executive
board of the United Mine Workers TO
those firemen who were enrolled in its
membership and who stopped work
to return 10 their places, and the de-
termination Of officers of the firemen's
organization to keep them away.
The morning opened with a show of
new strength on the part of the strik-
ers They added several additional
mines in the Lackawanna valley to the
list of idle ones.
The situation created by these con-
ditions intepsifes the hostility that is
showing itself among these men as TO
which element shall control. How the
United Mine Workers will deal with
this question can only be answered by
the decision of the conference at
Hazleton between the executive Off
GERS Of districts Nos. !. 7 and 9 Of the
organiZa ton.

Smashed All Records.

st. Louis, July 22.-On Sunday, the
day that Gov. Dockery designated for
fasting and prayer to God that the
present drought might be broken in
Missouri, all records for hot weather
in st. Louis were smashed, the wealth
er bureau thermometer on the Gus
tom house registering 10S degrees in
the shade. On the streets and in ex-
posed places, the mercury went many
degrees higher. The record broken
was that of LOG, made in the early
eighties. AS early as seven a. m. the
day gave promise of being unusually
warm. At that time the thermometer
registered 90 degrees, and from then
on, until $3.50 p. m, the mercury
steadily climbed upward under the
impulse of a fierce sun shining from
cloudless sky. Hardly breath of air
stirred all day, and the little that did
circulate came as the draft from
furnace, so intensely hot was it.
Those who dared to leave their homes
went for comfort to the parks, which
were thronged all day and late into
the night with thousands of suffering
humanity
The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-07-25
Situation il Better.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 20.-More
mines were in operation and more
coal was hoisted in the Wyoming val
ley Friday than any day since the sta
tionary fremen's strike began. De-
spite any action that may be taken
by the officers Of the United Mine
Workers association, the fact cannot
be denied that the United Mine
Workers as a body are anxious to
get back to work. How long they can
be kept out by the executive heads
is entirely problematieal. In the face
Of the change in the situation the
strikers are by no means discouraged.
In an official statement it is declared
that in the upper anthracite region
the situation remains the same, with
strong indications of increased favor
for the firemen, and that there is q
greater number Of mines idle than on
Thursday.

Hot Day In Omaha.

Omaha, July 22.-With the excep-
ton of July &c, 1894, on which day the
temperature reached 1O5, Sunday was
the hottest this city has experienced
in 81 years. The mercury stood at
90 at II o'clock, gradually going up
to 1O4 $40 at 4:15 p. M, and at six
o. m. back to 1O4. There was not
trace of rain anywhere in this vicin-
ity and what little wind there was
came from the south, and instead OF
being a relief added to the discom-
fort. The parks offered not the
slightest replief to the masses who
sought cool retreats. Four prostra--
tions were reported to the police. Not
a cloud appeared in the sky and no
relief is in sight.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-07-25
Prayers for Rain.

The governors proclamation was
very generally needed, nearly every
church in the city holding we'll at
tended services given up to prayer
that the drought, which has pre-
vailed several months and threatens
the destruction of all vegetation,
with consequent loss and suffering,
might be broken. This is the second
proclamation of the character that
has been made in The history of Mis-
souri,. In 1878, time of drought and
grasshopper pest, Gov. Charles II.
Hardin, called upon the people Of the
state to call for relief. This call was
also generally observed.

across the river into parts of Illinois
which have escaped the worst of the
wave of heat.
Hottest for AZ Years.
Dubuque, Ia. July 22.--All high
temperature records dating back AS
years were broken Sunday. AT seven
a. m. it was 81; four p, m, 1o6; seven
p. M, 1902; on the street from III to
ia. There were large number OF
prostrations, but no fatalities. The
intense heat of the sun fired dry
grass on Dubuque's grave bluffs, and
several hundred acres were burned
over.
Burlington, Ia, July 22.--Frightful
heat prevailed here and all over
southeastern Iowa Sunday. The max
imum here was 10, accompanied by
hot wind. Reports from the state
show: Charlton, 1o7; Fairfield, los;
ottumwa, 40; Murray, 10; Middle
town, 113; Keithsburg, ILL.,, 112. Corn
is reported to be firing badly. Some
grain men declare it has been dam
aged to the extent of half a crop.
Michigan Crops Drying Up.
St. Joseph, Mich. July 22.--Reports
from various points in the southern
section of this county show that the
great vegetable districts are slowly
drying up. No rain has fallen in the
vegetable districts for the last 21
days. The potato districts are con-
sidered by conservative growers
ruined, as the plants are beginning
to wilt, and rain at this time could
not revive them. The famous Galien
cabbage district, embracing several
hundred acres, is drying, and II rain
does not come within the next few
days the entire crop will be ruined.
The crop of raspberries of this civin-
ity has been ruined by continuous
drought, Only one-tenth of the crop
has been gathered. The remainder of
the fruit dried up on the vines. The
estimated loss to growers of this dis
trict is placed at 100000. If the pres
ent hot weather continues one week
the entire crop of blackberries will
be lost. Grapes and peaches are
looking fine, and from present indi-
cations the largest crop in the his
tory of this district will be gathered.
The total loss to fruit growers at
Berrien county on strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries and plums is
estimated at $500, 900.
