hauled up through the trap, a econd
moose adjusted and he slowly strangled.
lie maintained unusual complacency
and said 10 the officers about him: Il
hope you die like / do"

soundly all night. He arose at $40,
and at $50 was given breakfast, eat
Ing heartily of meat, eggs and cakes.

new clothes dressed himself and ex-
pressed the Idea that he would o
pretty well when dead in those clothes.
At 8 o'clock Sheriff Smith read the
death warrant. Loveswar smoked q
cigar and listened respectfully, but in
differently.
He ate a hearty dinner. The last
sacrament was administered by Rev.
Wyllie. The execution jury viewed
the prisoner in his cell ut 1875, and at

walked without assistance up the stairs
Of the Jail and up the scaffold. His
only words were, II hope they would
not have TO die as he died" He asked
to bid DR.. McSloy gOodby, and shook

DANGER Is ALL ROT.
Arctic Explorer Says When Food Prob
lem Is Solved Reaching the North
Pole Will Be Quite Simple.

New York, Sept. 22.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook of Brooklyn, who was with
Lieutenant Peary OF one of his Arctic
trips, and with the Belgica expedition
to the south pole as chief surgeon, ex-
presses the opinion that Peary's latest
endeavor was by no means q failure,
and hat the explorer has added ma
terial to the annals of cience which
will be found invaluable; in fact, more
valuable than actual discovery Of the
pole itself.
"All this ak abou the terrible dan
gers 10 be met before reaching the pole
is sheer rot" continued DR.. Cook. "A
man, all things taken into account, is
just as safe on the Arctic ice fields as
he is In New York. There are no fever
germs there. no contagious diseases,
no miasmatic swamps, no sewer gas, no
decaying vegetables, no rotting rags;
everything is on ice. There is no dan
ger in traYersing the ice fields, nor
from cold, which is not so severe as
a cut of the saline blasts on the At
lantic sea coast"
1t Is the food question that is the
cul de a that closes up the way to the
pole, and when this problem is solved
reaching h pole will, In his opinion,
be quite u simple undertaking.

A PLuTocRAT OF THE PRAIRIE.
A Man In a Kansas Town Who Thinks
His $500 Elevator Is a Fortuna.

Detroit Free Press: He stood upon
the railway platform of a small Kansas
town on a hot Sunday afternoon, and
when the western flyer stopped to let
its mighty engine take a breathing
spell and quench it's thirst by a liberal
supply of water, he greeted the seat
weary passengers who stepped out to
stretch their legs by a little walk with
a beaming smile that betokened a
hearty welcome to the strangers.
He was not a typical Kansas farm
er In appearances; that is, he did not
bring to mind the family pictures or
the populist, 80 common In eastern
comic papers. On the contrary, he
might have been let down In any town
In one of the middle states without ex-
citing q bit Of curiosity. But he was
q Kansan through and through, and
proud of 1t, If you please, although he
ould not claim the birthright, as his
story proved.
liking his attention on one partlcu-
lar passenger who may have seemed to
him more receptive than the others, he
opened the conversation with the
query: D..
BE you from the east?" }
On receiving an affirmative reply, he
went on:
We'll, I come from the east myself
forty years ago, over the prairies from
Wisconsin, and / tell you 1t was a hard
ride. We come out In a prairie schoon-
err, wife and /, and took up a quarter
section south of here. 1t was pretty
| hard sleddin' sometimes; crops weren't
always good, and then the winters
would be mighty tough. But we stuck
to it and reared q little family, and
when the boys grew up they helped on
the land and mad things go better.
-Four years ago l concluded I'd
worked enough, so l gave the boys the
farm and came to town. Wife an l
settled down in q little house that
didn't cost much, and the first summer
| we took a trip to Colorado Springs and
had q ride up Pixies Peak. That was a
great trip, l tell you. Next year we
| went to Omaha to the exposition, and
had a big time. Say, that was a great
| show; did you go? Thought we'd go
| back to Wisconsin this year, an see
the state fair, u q chance came along
to make a little money, so we gave II
up. Some of the railroad folks told me-
there was an opening for an elevator,
so l got a contractor to give me soma
| figures, bought a pretty good engine
that had been through a fire, at a big
bargain, an there she is"-pointing to
a slightly looking new building half a
| mile up the track.
SAY, stranger, that things goin' to
| cost me $500 fore l get 1t finished, but
she's all right, and If you ever come
through this way when she's goin' Z
want you to walk out am see her"
And it is safe to say that j. Pier
pont Morgan. with all of his millions,
never felt more prosperous, nor took
greater pride in his most gigantic un-
dertaking, than this simple minded
plutocrat of the prairie takes to him
self on this browning achievement of
his life Of toil-his $500 grain elevator.

The crime for which Ernest Loveswar
or Ernest Bird, was hung was one Of

sire to accept an invitation rendered
him by Mrs. ogden Geolet to visit her
yacht MAMMA, anchored in the vicinity
Of San Sebastian. The queen mother
forbade her son to accept, which led
him to announce tina he was quite
likely to go. Such a popular commotion
was raised about It, however, that the
king decided not to offend his subjects
by visiting an American, and therefore
declined regretfully. There Is a large
section OF the Spanish people which
still entertains bitter hate against the
United States because Of their defeat.
