Value of Mans Life.

The Supreme Courts have decided
that the life of the average man is worth
just what he is able to earn. A mans
earnings depend to depend to a great
extent upon his health, and it is always
within his power to improve his condi-
ton. The stomach is the measure of
health and strength. Every man may
be bright, active and happy, if his di-
gestion is normal. Ifitis not, Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters will make it so. 1t
puts the digestive organs in condition
to properly digest and assimilate food.
Try it for constipation, indigestion, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, liver and kidney
troubles. IthaS cured stomach ailments
for the last fifty years, and today there
is nothing Just as good.

The Last of Czolgosz.

Leon Czolgosz, the assassin OF Pres
ident Mckinley, was put to death by
electricity in the State prison at Au-
burn, N. Y, Tuesday morning at 7.l2
o'clock. The murderer was unrepen-
tant and sullen to the last During
the week previous to his death Polish
priests endeavored to interest him in
his spiritual condition, but they got
no satisfaction from him. On Monday
his brother talked with him, but Leon
said nothing of interest. The brother
desired him to see the priests again,
but he cursed them ard their religion
and would have nothing to do with
spiritual affairs. He declared that no
one had anything to do with his crime
but himself, and to the superintendent
of the prison he reiterated this state
ment. As he was caught in several
lies, however, this question is yet un-
settled.
The assassin slept well from 10
o'clock Monday night until he was
awakened at 5 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, and his impending doom seemed
to worry him but little. He ate
hearty breakfast with relish. At the
appointed time he was taken to the
death chamber, where 26 witnesses
were assembled. AS he was being
strapped in the electric chair he said:
81 killed the President because he was
an enemy of the good peop!e-of the
good working people" 81 am not sor-
ry for my crime. Just before the
face mask was put on him be remarked,
81 am sorry l didn't see my father.
These were his last words. The cleo
trio current was then turned on. AS
it passed through him his body stiff
fened until the straps creaked. 1t
was kept on for As seconds, then
turned off and on again fora few Sec
onds. A few moments later and the
doctors pronounced him dead. The
doctors performed a post norton ex-
animation Immediately after his death.
They found his brain and other organs
healthy and normal. In the after
noon his body was taken to grave in
the prison cemetery. Before the cof-
fin was lowered barrel of quicklime
had been poured into the bottom Of
the grave. Then came the open cof-
fin, and into this two more barrels of
lime were emptied. A carboY of sui
phuric acid was poured over the
lime and two more barrels of lime
were emptied in. Over all barrel
of water was poured, and while the
smoke rose in the air like cloud Of
spray the earth was shoveled in. With
in II hours from the time it was bur-
led it is believed the body was entire
ly disintegrated.

Memorial Tribute.

In loving remembrance of my dea
son, ALBERT A. SHACKELFORD
Death spread his whitening, wintry arms,
And beauty smiles no more;
All where are now those rising charms,
Which pleased our eyes before ?
That once loved form now cold In death,
Each mOurnful thought employs
We weep-our earthly comfort fled,
And withered all our joys.
Farewell, dear Albert, we give thee up,
And dry our weary tears;
IT'S hard TO part with one so dear,
And yet so young In years.
SO, rest on sweetly, calmly rest,
Your troubles now are DER;
You ii wish no more for mother dear,
You'll sigh for pa no more.
Weep not, my parents, dry your tears
Pm going home TO rest
SO when you see that am gone,
shall be with the blest.
Weep not for me, my parents dear.
/ am going to rest and you need not fear;
My stay was short, you now may see,-
SO therefore prepare TO follow me.
Where all Is peace and Joy and love-
No sorrow enters there,
In that bright home so far above
My dear parents, meet me there.
BY HIS MOTHER, +. s.

THE campaign in Maryland which
will be ended by the election next
Tuesday is warm one, and the Re-
publicans seem to have the worst of it.
The main issue is on the new ballot
law, passed last winter by the Demo-
Gratis. The intention of this law is to
practically disfranchise the illiterate
voter and eliminate large proportion
of the ignorant negro vote. The names
on the ballots are mixed 80 that it will
require some knowledge Of letters to
vote intelligently, and no assistance
will be rendered by election officers.
The Republicans have been holding
instruction schools to train their illit-
crates how to vote properly, and upon
their success in this method depends
their hope of winning. A great out
cry has been raised against the Dem
ocrats by the Republicans, but the lat
ter boldly state that they mean to
have the elections controlled by the
intelligent voters instead of by the ig-
norant. The Republicans are charg-
ing all sorts of frauds, but sensible
persons acknowledge that on the ques-
ton of political methods there is about
as much virtue in one party as the
other.
We think the Democratic position
in Maryland is exactly right, and we
hope they will win. Restriction Of
the ballot may not be popular, but it
is the proper thing.
