Meet Their Fate Without Fllnchinq.

Chicago, April 22.-Compelled to be
carried to- the scaffold Peter Neider-
meier, leader Of the car barn bandits,
was hanged here at 10:35 a. m. Weak
and pale, but with a slight suggestion
Of smile, the bandit failed to carry
out his oft repeated boast that he
would die before reaching the gallows.
Hanging Of his associates, Marx and
Vandine, quickly followed.
Although it was expected at first
that Neidermeier would be able to
walk to the gallows with but little or
no assistance it was found at the last
moment that he was too weak. Straps
were placed over his ankles and just
above his knees. He was then placed
on truck and wheeled to one of the
lower floors of the Jail, after which he
was carried to the scaffold and placed
in chair on the trap. He was not
asked the customary question if he
had anything to say and the rope was
quickly placed about his neck. He
instinctiyely settled his neck into the
moose and the trap was sprung. His
neck was broken by the fall.
Previous to the execution and dur
ing the reading of the death warrant
Neidermeier snatched the paper from
the chief deputy's hands and placed it
in a pocket and made remarks in anger
at this time and once or twice when
he was being taken to the scaffold.

Omaha, Neb., July 11.-Michael Eel
Ter, who on Saturday brutally murdered
his wife and her father and has since
successfully eluded capture made a
dramatic appearance this afternoon.

victims, Zeller emerged from his hiding
place and before any one knew what
he was doing he pulled the knife with
which he had committed the murders
from his belt and drew it twice across
his body disembowelling himself.
The knife was quickly wrenched
from his hand and late this evening r
is said that the wounds will prove ia

TELEPHONE TRUST
Bell 90. Going to Do
Things.

Chicago, July 11.-Rumors Of a gi-
gantic telephone trust was circulated
here today in which it was said the Bell
people were to organize with a 100000
600 capital to force al competitors cCt
of the field in the territory embraced
within the boundaries Of Illinois, In
diana, Michigan and Ohio. 1t is said
all Independent teIephone companies
will be bought out if willing to accept
the Bell peoples valuation and if not
they will be forced out of business by
their big rival
The report states that the Indiana
independent telephone company at La
porte, representing the telephone sys.
tens in operation in Indiana and Mich
igan, received a privaCe report appris-
ing the officers of lne plans for the for
nation of the trust and warning them
that the blow is directed against that
and all other companies.
The news was sent to the headquar-
ters at Grand Rapids, Mich, and every
effort was made to keep it secret until
some plans had BEEN made to stop the
threatened blow. The rumor became
current, however, and when officials of
the company were asked about it they
practically admitted having received
the information.

SPANISH VETERANS
Will Have a Big Time at
WapahOneta.

The convention of the United Span
ish War Veterans will surpass any
thing ever held in military circles.
Through very liberal donations of the
citizens of Wapakoneta, DR.. ID. G.

ual attractions to the visitors.
Furthermore, cash prizes will be CIV

A reviewing stand will be erected
for Senator Dick, the review officer.
and other eminent visitors, also large
tribunes for the spectators. The ad'
dresses in the evening will be made
from the reviewing stand If the wealth
er permits All present indications
point to an enormous throng Of people
during the convention, and as this eel
ebration will be widely advertised it
held in the history Of military orders.
The enthusiasm of veterans of the
Spanish war all over the state Is in
ceasing rapidly, and nearly eight hun
dred members have already decided to
take part in the parade, which num-
ber will no doubt be duplicated. Thirty
lavishly decorated carriages will be in
the parade for the ladies Of the auxil'
iaries to the Spanish War Veterans
and as numeous brass bands will take
part in it the parade will present a
fine and picturesque spectacle.
Unusual interest is awakened by
the attractive prizes and many camps
some of them. Four squads have al
ready entered for the drill contest and
there will be lively competition for
all the prizes.
Not only the veterans, but ale0
visiting public will be well e-
ed and there will be attractiou ,sf-h
seeing. A special feature viii ae a
beautiful flag drill executed by thirty
six uniformed young ladies', and a
baseball game between a National
league team and the local profession
al team will bring innumerable lovers
of this fine sport.
During the convention electric cars
will run every thirty minutes to the
st. Marys reservoir which will give
every visitor an opportunity to take
look at the largest artificial body of
water in the world.
Several places are after next years
convention and there will be a strong
fight for 1t.

Magnets Lift 10000 Pounds.

In several Western steel works cleo
tro magnets are coming into use for
lifting and transferring steel and
iron plates and girders. Instead OF
the ordinary hook and block, with
its dangling chains, there is a mass
of metal and wires, which when the
current is turned on simply picks up
the object itself and hangs on to it"
until the current is turned off. A
magnet weighing $50 pounds will
easily carry a load weighing five tons.
and the possible load which may be
carried by this method can be in
creased by simply making larger
magnet and giving it more current. 1t
is calculated that the time and labor
saved which with the block and
chains is required for fastening the
load to the crane, amounts to so per
cent of the cost of such work.

MURDERER
SEARCHED FOR ALL DAY
Att5a LONG
KILLED A PRETTY GIRL
Tried to Burn House to
Conceal Crime

Rochester, N. Y, July 11.-All day
long the search for clues to the murder
of pretty Birdie" Hart, the pretty
Webster girl whose body was found In
the basement of the Hallauer packing
house which the murderer had attempt
ed to burn to conceal his more serious
crime. Tonight the deputies were re-
warded.
Back of the row of barrels in the
basement at the foot OF which the body
was discovered late last night, was
found the hat worn by the murdered
girl when she was last SEEN with her
lover, Erwin Smith, Thursday evening.
Outside in the orchard at the west of
the packing house were found the eye
glasses of the girl. They were near the
north entrance to the basement and 1t
was evident that her body had been
carried in through the opening.
District Attorney Warren's investiga-
tion had made It clear that the crime
was committed outside the building
and the body borne to the place where
1t was found. 1t was carried by some
person capable of bearing heavy
burden, for the shoes were not scratch
ed and there was not the slightest sign
that the body had touched the ground
in it's journey to the basement.
Rumor is now busy with two strang-
ers whom it is reported accosted the
murdered girls lover near the railroad
track with some remark about the girl
Smith, who was with the girl late
Thursday night by his own admission
still maintains the startling calm that
he manifested during the two hours
examination by the district attorney
and sticks to his original statemen.
that he left the girl at II o'clocl'
Thursday night and saw her start back
toward her home.
Tomorrow morning at II o'clock the
inquest will be begun in Webster.

BABCOCK Z
is A MOST OPTIMISTIC
CUSS
EXPECTS AN INCREASE
In Republican Majority in
Next House.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 11-Joseph
w. Babcock, chairman of the Republic
can congressional committee said that
he expected to see an increase in the
Republican majority in the next house
of representatives, which in the pres
ent congress is thirty.
I'VE will elect more Republican con-
gressmen this time than we did to the
last congress. In the present congress
we have only Milwaukee, Philadelphia,
Gin cinnati and Newark, N. j., Of the
large cities of more than one congress-
man which have solid Republican del-
egations to congress, We expect to
largely increase the number of solid
delegations from cities and to gain
a number in the west, especially on acl
count of the action of the Democrats
in choosing both candidates in the
east. The presidential year always
aids us in carrying doubtful districts.
Where will you open headquarters
this year?'
"We will have our main headquar-
ters probably in New York and also
one in Washington which may be NOV
ed later on to Chicago when the fight
gets real hot. | will leave tomorrow
morning at o'clock for Washington"
The prospective gains in large cities
Of which Mr. Babcock speaks applies
to Greater New York with only two
Republicans; Boston, with three DEM
ocats Buffalo with one Democrat and
one Republican; the twin cities of
Minnesota with one Democrat and ona
Republican; Detroit with a Democrat;
st. Francisco with two union labor
party congressman; st, Louis with
only one Republican and Chicago with
six Republicans and four Democrats.

NOMINATIONS
HAVING BEEN MADE AT ST.
LOUIS
WILL STOP
Further Massacres Of Ar
menianS by Turks.

Washington, d. c., July 11.-TGe
president and Secretary Hay have TAX
en- steps to prevent the further massa-
cres of Armenians by Turks acting in
response to the appeal made by the
Armenian bishops several days age.
The steps taken have been surrounded
with unusual secrecy.
Secretary Hay requested Great Brit
ain and France to take such action as
will prevent the future massacres OF
Armenians. This request was based on
the fact that those nations, with Ger
many, Italy and Austria are the powers
signatory to the treaty concluded at
One of the sections guarantees protec-
ton to natives and foreign Christians
in Turkey.
In his request, Secretary Hay said
tnat if Great Britain ana France could
make the desired representations 1t
would not only be a Christian act but
a favor to the United States.
Great Britain has already complied
with the request and notified the Sui
tan that atrocities in Armenia must
cease. France is expected to take SIM
liar action. If necessary appeals will
also be made to Germany Italy and
Austria.
The steps taken by the president and
Secretary Hay resulted from urgent
pressure exerted by the missionary So
cieties of this country, following the
appeal Of the Armenian bishops.

HOLDS RECORD
Mile Long Road Built in
One Hour,

A brief article in the daily News re-
garding the making of street in Edin-
burgh In single day recalls to my
mind Fourth Of July celebration that
was held in Asheville, N. c., about Is
years ago. Hon. Richmond Pierson,
uncle of Lieutenant Pearson Hobson,
and at present United States minister
to Persia, owns Richmond hill, a beau
tiful estate few miles out of Ashe-
winding roads, hanging woods, wide
lawns and sloping pastures. One Fourth
of July, during time when he was
making extensive improvements on his
estate, Mr.. Pearson invited the entire
town of Asheville to come out and cele-
brate wmith him and watch thousand
men make a road mile long in one
hour for 1000 silver dollars.
All Asheville went, among the rest.
The army of negro workmen marched
out with their shovels, headed by a
brass band and a wagon containing the
silver dollars. An tuOTmCuS tnTOne
gathered on long hillside, which made
a beautiful natural amphitheater, and
drank lemonade, while far below the
workmen were drawn up around hill
lock, base of which was to be surround
ed by a circular roadway. A pistol
shot was fired. Thereupon huge OK
teams began to plow around the hill
lock. Then the negroes began to throw
dirt in a continuous cataract a mile
long. For 60 minutes they Kept at It,
leveling the road and putting 1t In
good shape in that time. Then another
pistol shot was fired. Work stopped
and the silver dollars were distributed
to the grinning and sweating laborers,
while many guests in carriages drove
over the new road, the brass band
playing on the summit of the hill and
the people cheering.
1t was a picturesque celebration and
far more sane than If 1t had been made
up of powder explosions and lacerated
thumbs.
