Street Car Barn Bandits Hanged.

StreeC Gar Barn BANDITS Hanged.
Chicago. ILL.,, April 22.-Neider-
meyer, Marx and Vandipe, the
three street car barn bandits, were
hung today, as punishment for
the murders they have committed.
The youthful bandits passed q
sleepless night. ALI seemed
oowed and frightened by the ap-
proach of death.
On account of the physical
weakness of Neidermeyer, it was
deemed advisable to have his ex-
ecution separate form that of his
companions in crime.
Up to the very last moment, he
continued to refuse all spiritual
advice, and went to the scaffold
without words of comfort from
priest or minister.
Marx and Vandine on the CON.
trary spent their last hours on
earth in reading, writing and pray
ing. Several priests were with
them throughout the morning.
1t was announced that Neider-
meyer would be hanged first, then
Marx, and Vandine last.
just as the clock was striking
ten, the reading of the warrant
ordering his death to Neidermeyer
was begun and the march to the
scaffold followed in a few minu.
ties.
1t was necessary for the officers
to assist Neidermeyer to the scaf-
fold A portion of the time it was
necessary to carry him bodily, so
great was his fear of death and his
physical weakness
After he had been carried to the
scaffold, Neidmeyer was placed in
a chair, to which his hands and
his legs were quickly strapped.
The moose was placed about his
neck, and the black cap drawn
over his desthly white face.
Promptly at thirty five minutes
past ten O'Clock, the lever was
drawn, the trap fell, and Neider.
meyers body was suspended be-
tween the heaven and the earth.
The chair in which he was sitting
fell with the drop.
His struggles were not long,
but several minutes elapsed be-
fore life was totally extinct, and it
was twenty minutes before the
body of the bandit was taken
down.
Marx was hanged at seventeen
minutes past eleven. He made no
statement from the scaffold, but
met his death bravely and de.

Vandine was hanged at fifty FIVE
minutes past eleven. without any

Juvenile Sugar Makers.

Two rival camps of juvenile sugar
makers held sway on the fiat below
the round house last week and had lively
times. One gang of boys have built a
small arch on the river bank and have
tapped about a dozen trees on the "is-
land and proceed to make sugar. Those
who were left out of the clique started
another camp about an eighth of a mile
below on the river bank and have
tapped about 10 trees. The two camps
fire up heir arches in the morning. put
" hat sap they have on to boil and then
wage war upon one another. The rival
ry rs SO intense that they have formed
ball teams and play in the wet grass
willie waiting TOR the sap to boil. 1t is
not safe tor either party to leave camp
very early for tear of he loss of pals and
spouts or the breaking down OF the
arches and loss OF utensils. Both camps
are st living TO make sugar that will
..beat" the other, but as yer neither party
has been very successful at making any
that would pass for good syrup.

General Hazgawa Will Take Command
Of Forces In Korea.

Toxic, Oct. 10.-Lieutenant General
Hazgawa, late commander in chief of
the imperial guards division, will de-
part for Korea to assume command of
the japanese forces there. 1t is pro.
bable that the Korean army will be
dispersed or brought under a Japan
ese commander. General Hazgawa is
expected to effect this change at an
early date. 1t is probable that this
Japanese move is made in order to
expel the bands of Cossacks now oper.
ating in western and northwestern
Korea.
Observation-Disclosures who have
just returned here from Korea say
the Koreans, especially in the south
ern provinces are greatly incensed at
tn high handed actions Of the Japan
ese who seize the young men, cut their
hair, and place them in Japanese un-

General kuropatkIn Starts 10 Make
Good His Promises.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 11,-General
Kuropatkin's order of the day an
nouncing his determination to take
the offensive, is supplemented by the
news that an offensive movement has
already been begun, and that the Jap
anese line has been broken at Bentsia-
putze. The Japanese occupied a
front of about ffty-two miles, stretch
ing from Bentsiaputze, on the east,
through Yentai and across the rail.
way to the banks Of the Hun river
on the west. The Russian forces had
been moving south in close touch with
the Japanese advance since October
4. The Japanese outposts were driv-
en- back in series Of skirmishes,
and on October the Russians reoc-
cupied The station at Shakhe, fifteen
miles south of Mukden, the railway
battalion restoring the bridge across
the shakhe river the next day in order
to facilitate the advance. Meanwhile,
General Mistchenko's Cossacks pushed
southeastward as far as the Yentai
mines, defeating the japanese in a
series Of warm skirmlshes.

INCREASE IN PAY.
General Funston Thinks Enlisted Men
Should DO Better N

Washington, Oct. 12.-Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, until rec
entity commanding the department Of
Columbia, in his annual report says
that additional observation with off,
GERS confirm him in the views express
ed in his last report that there should
be a substantial increase in the pay
Of the enlisted men in the army.
General Funston says:
There can be scarcely a doubt that
such action would bring into the
army a vastly superior body Of men
who would remain in service. It is
doubtful If an increase over the pres.
ent rates of pay Of fifty per cent for
non-commissioned officers and thirty
per cent for priyates would be more
expensive than under present rates
when so much time and money are
wasted in trying to make soldiers out
Of the inferior class Of men who con.
stitute at least half Of the rank and
file Of the army today"
A decrease during the past year in
the percentage Of men tried by both
general and inferior courts martial
he says, probably is due to the fact
that there has been during the fiscal
year covered by this report, a small
number Of new men in the various
organizations than in the preceding
year"
