Governor Shaw has been making as
many speeches as possible in Iowa, Ne
braska. Illinois and other states of the
Mississippi valley. He expects TO be a
candidate for president, not as an Iowa
candidate but as the candidate of the
western states. Hence he is cultivat-
Ing large political field. He went
over into Nebraska the other day to
speak at a republican convention and
then immediately went to Chicago. The
next day he was back in Nebraska
again. He has spoken at all kinds of
gatherings and under all circumstances,
and takes infinite pains With the pre-
paration of his speeches, employing
careful men to secure for him the facts
cnd prepare the statistics. This does
not COMFORT at all with his protested
desire to avoid public life and retire
to the quietude of loenison and again
devote his time to note shaving and
interest collecting
But the best posted politicians here
believe that instead of Governor Shaw.
and his immediate friends having any
notion they can land the presidency in
1904, the most they expect to do is to
secure the Iowa delegation to the ma
tlonal convention for trading purposes
and to use it to name the nominee for
president. BY this means they hope to
be able to control the federal patron
age for another eight years. This in

Governor Shaw had in mind the Sc

candidate when, at the close of the
railroad hearing last spring, after the
railroad attorneys had beer heard, lie
looked about him and significantly
asked:

on the part of the people of Iowa as to

themselves as public servants and rep

scene of his crime, Prof. J. S. Cross
well, Of the state school of mines,
who Monday night murdered his
sweetheart, Miss Mollie Powell,
prominent young woman OF this
city, sent a bullet through his own
heart with the same revolver with
which he killed the girl to prevent
being Iynched by an angry posse Of
indignant citizens, who were ready
to attack his place of refuge. Ever.
since the tragedy at the Powell home,
when a pistol shot startled the
friends that had gathered there to
celebrate with the murdered. girl her
nineteenth birthday, the author Of
the crime has been hiding from
large posse of citizens and college
students that ransacked every build
ing and searched every spot in the
city. Crossweu was located in
barn near the center of the town,
where he had been hiding probably
ever since his fight from the Powell
home. Just as the attack was to be
made the faint report of pistol was
heard inside the building and when
the pursuers broke into the building
they found the murderer prone upon
the floor A bullet had pierced his
heart and death was instantaneous.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 24.-President
Shafer. of the Amalgamated assOcia-
ton, has prepared an exhaustive
statement reviewing the incidents of
the late strike of the steel workers.
The interesting feature of President
Skaters statement is his severe criti-
cism of other labor organizations for
their failure to come to the aid Of the
Amalgamated men in their hour of
trial. He is especially severe In his
criticism of those labor leaders who
promised assistance and, as he says,
failed to keep their agreement. He
attacks Samuel Gompers, of the Fed
Grafton of Labor, whom he accuses Of
betraying the interests of the steel
workers.

Tied the Handkerchief Over CzoIgOsz's

st. Louis. Sept. 25.-The Post Dis
patch says: Edward Saftig, arrested
Monday afternoon, suspected of petit
larceny, told Chief of Detectives Des-
mOnd that he was one of three men
who eOnspired to assassinate Presi-
dent Mckinley at Buffalo on Septem-
Der 6, and that he (Saftig) tied around
CzOlgOsz's hand the handkerchief that
concealed the weapon with which he
shot the president. Chief of Detect
ives Desmond, who talked all the
morning to Saftig, is convinced that
Saftig is telling a straight story Of
President McKinley's assassination.
The chief says that he will hold SAT
tig subject to the federal authOri-
ties.
\ waiter named Petit, who Is en-
plOyed at COB Market street, where
Saftig boarded, told the POst-Dispatch
that Saftig was in St. Louis on the
day President Mckinley was shot and
that the two read the bulletins of
the tragedy in front of newspaper

all of Sunday at the city hall prepar-

began before Justice White in the

fee, it is learned that Dr. Allan Nc
Lane Hamilton, one of the most ceIe-
brated alienists in the United States,
and who was an expert witness at
the trial of Guiteau, is in Buffalo.
Not a doubt as to CzoIgOsz's sanity
exists in the mind of District AttOr-
ney Penney, so that it is presumed
that DR.. Hamilton is here merely to
meet the question of insanity should
the defense determine to make a
fight on that ground.
