TAPER ATTENDED TO THE LAST
NY HIS SPIRITUAL ADJ
vIsERs.

Chaska, Mimi, Feb. 10. - Andrew
Iapper this morning paid the penalty
with his life for the killing of Rosa
MIX, a domestic whom a murdered on
the morning Of June 3 last. All the
details Of the execution which had pre-
vlously been arranged by the sheriff,
assisted by visiting sheriffs from other
counties, were carried out without a
hitch. The trap was sprung at 12:45.
and a few minutes later life was de-
clared extinct by the attending ply
sicians. Taper went to the gallows
attended by the two Lutheran minis
ters, Rev. III. j. Raepke of Carver and
Rev. Henry Reepke of Chaska, whom
he would not permit to leave him for
even moment during his last day on
earth. The location Of the scaffold was
such that Taper was spared q long
death march. His cell was on the side
o: the Jail away from the scaffold, but
the steps from the platform reached di-
rect to the Jail door.
The inclosure was not large enough
to accommodate the morbidly curious,
eager to witness the hanging, and only
visiting sheriffs and those permitted by
the law witnessed Tapper's end.
Since sentenced to death Taper had
become religious and occupied much Of
his time reading the Bible. He has eaten
well and, contrary to report, did not at
tempt to Kill himself. f} l
Taper was visited yesterday by a
few acquaintances. but had very little
to say to them. He scarcely looked up
from the Bible he was reading and
spoke only when asked direct questions.
These he answered where possible by
Ses or no. While lately he has ad-
naitted that he killed Rosa Mixa, he
still persisted In declaring that he has
but vague recollection Of the event
that his mind was clouded during the
commission Of the crime.
Taper was thirty-three years old,
weighed 1876 pounds and was six feet
two inches tall. His victim, Rosa Mtxa,
was eighteen years Of age. Her parents
reside at Montgomery, MINI.
The immediate cause Of the assault
upon the girl was an insult offered her
by Taper, and which she resented. He
brooded over this incident, drank freely
and then committed the crime.
Tapper's body was Immediately
handed over to relatives, who took it
to Minneapolis, intending to inter It
Immediately on their arrival there.

WAS OUTCOME or A CHALLENGE

ING DEBATE AND AMEND
MENTS.
OFFER TO VOTE AT ONCE TAKEN UP
SENATE PASSES THE BILL FOR A
PERMANENT CENSUS BU-
y REAU.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The unexpected
happened in the house yesterday when
the bill to repeal the war revenue taxes
was passed unanimously without q
word of debate. This action was the
outcome of a challenge thrown down
by Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the
minority leader after the adoption ioy
a strict party vote of special order
for the consideration of the bill which
permitted debate upon it until o'clock
this afternoon, but cut off all oppor-
tunity to offer amendments except such
as had been agreed upon by the ways
and means committee. The adoption of
the rule had been preceded by stormy
debate, in the course of which the DEM
ocrats protested against the application
of the "gag" which Mr.. Hay of Vir-
ginia charged was meant to prevent a
free expression, not only by the Demo-
Gratis, but by some Of the Republicans,
attention being especially called toward
Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin, the father
of the bill to amend the steel schedule
of the present tariff law. They also
charged that such method of pro-
cedure was minimizing the influence Of
the house and making it simply ma
chine to register the DEGREES of the few
men in control. Mr.. Babcock said that
he supported the program on the
ground that the issue presented for the
repeal of the war revenue taxes should
not be complicated with other matters.
At the same time he gave notice that
he would press his own bill at the, first
opportunity. Mr. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania scored a point against the minor
ity BIZ recalling the time under Demo-
cratic control of the house. when e49
amendments to the Wilson tariff bill
had been forced through without being
read. When the rule, was adopted by a

Grafton upon it would be fruitless.

be placed upon its passage. Not an OBJ

and thus quickly and unanimously came
the end Of what at one time had prom
ised to be one of the most exciting
contests of the session.

Medium Grades for Farm Work Now
IL Steady Demand in TIE hi
cage Market.

Recently the demand for horses at
the Chicago stockyards has improved.
Not only are the cxportable horses
bringing better prices than for some
time, but there seems to be quite
brisk buying for farm use. We have
frequently pointed out the fact that
the conditions that have existed dur
ing the past eight years would natural
ly bring about a scarcity of farm
horses. We have made close inquiry
through our correspondents and find
that in hundreds of counties in these
western states less breeding has been
done of late years than formerly.
Meanwhile, horses are rapidly wear
ing out in farm work. The men that
had horses to shoot six years ago, now
have not even one good farm horse to
sell, and are even looking for horses to
buy. So, o we are told that at the
Chicago stockyards a feature of the
trade is the better demand for
medium chunks for farm horses"
Medium to good animals are quoted
at $55 to 800, and select chunks at sos
to $3.50. The demand for mules for
farm work is also good, these animals
selling at $S5 and large me from $3.50
to $40. There is an immense mount
of work on farms that can be done only
by horses; and this means a constant
demand that can be counted on by
horse raisers.-Farmers' Review.

cous membrane, restoring it to it's nor

these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether it be in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys,

cure it in one location will cure it in
all locations.
Peruna is such a remedy. The Sis
ters of Charity know this. When ca

know exactly what remedy to use.
These wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never-failing safe

the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many to
be entirely different diseases-that
dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach
and female weakness is due to catarrh
of the pelvic organs the Sisters are
fully aware, consequently Peruna is
their remedy in both these very com
mon and annoying diseases.
