has been an end, or the time be-
ing, of the fighting on a large
scale, which began when, on OctO-
Der 9. Gen. Kuropatkin announced
to his army that the time had ar
rived for an advance against the
japanese. Heavy rains and con-
sequent bad roads have made mil
itary operations on either side ex-
tremely difficult, if not impossible.
The interruption, according to
advices received at st. Petersburg
is being utilized by both the
Russian and japanese commanders
in making new dispositions Of
forces. \ Toxic dispatch states
that the japanese government
will seek to make representations
to st. Petersburg through the
American embassy against the al
legged use Of Chinese uniforms by
Russian troops, in violation Of the
usages Of war. Russia is hasten
ing the organization Of the second

At the time Goethe studied in Strass.
burg (See Graetz History of the Jews.
XI, 63), no Jew was allowed to stay
there over night. 1t was in Karlsbad
where for the first time Goethe formed
the acquaintance of Jews Of the better
class, as for instance the merchant Lac
mel Of Prague, well known to-day, yet
by his charitable foundations, the ladies
Meyer Sailing and others. At Goethe s
times no Jews lived in Weimar with the
exception Of the "Jew Elkhan,' - immor-
talized by a poem Of Goethe, a banker
Ullman, and-a dancing master. When
Felix Mendelssohn paid Goethe a visit
in Weimar he was received by him like

moments approached he collapsed and
was unable to- take three consecutive
steps of a march to the Saliows. Dr.
F. W. Mcnamara, jail physician, had

that his physical condition was salts

Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters. who ap-
peared with the death warrant, that

The bandit, moving his head so that

A moment later, at 1875 O'Clock, the
trap fell.

ROSE PAYS FOR CRIME.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April o.
Frank Rose, who murdered his wife
on last Christmas day, was shot to
death in the yard OF the State Peni-
tentiary here at 1919 this morning.
Rose was strapped in the same little
wooden chair in which Peter Morten-
sen met his death a few months ago.
Five prison guards. concealed behind
a heavy blue curtain in the doorway
of the blacksmith shop across the
area, formed the executing squad. One
Of the rifles held a blank cartridge
Rose went TO his death with the same
GOODNESS that has marked his conduct
since he surrendered to the police
Death was instantaneous. the four bull
lets lodging in or very close to his
heart.
Roses crime was peculiarly afro
cious and cold blooded in that it al
most resulted in the death of his two
year-old son from starvation and cold.
Rose, who claimed his wife was con-
sorting with other men, shot her on4
Christmas day. while she was lying in
bed He sat and talked with her until
she died from the wound and then
went away, leaving his boy in bed
with his dead mother and soaked in
her blood Rose says he returned four
times in the next two days to feed
the child, climbing through a window
and over the dead body of his wife in
order to get into the house. At the
end of that time he went to police
headquarters and gave himself up,
stating that he had shot his wife. He
never expressed regret for his deed
and asserted firm belief that it was
all predestined.
Rose said that in 1892 he was a
member of the Dalton gang in Okla
homa for a time and took part in the
robbery and murder of number Of
boomers" After leaving the Daltons
he continued his operations as a mem
Der of the Starr gang. Rose said he
served two years in the State Prison
at Jefferson City. Mo, for larceny
and embezzlement.
