THE TORTURE OF CONSCIENCE

"Oh, wretched man that l am, Who
snail deliver men from the body of
this death"
We are told that centuries ago q
favorite method of Furnishing mur-
derer was to lash to his shoulders
the body of his victim and compel
him to carry the corpse until he
died. A more horrible expiration
could hardly be imagined. No be
changed night and day to the lump of
bleeding clay, to carry ever where ali
men could see the evidence of
crime Happy were the victims OF
such punishment when death gave
them relief from their suffering.
Near Minot, S. D., Charles Herzig
the other day committed suicide. He
left a letter explaining why. For
more than thirty years Herzig carried
with him the body of death. Walk
ing or sleeping, night or day, whether
he worked or rested, his conscience
gave him no rest. In his letter Her
zig told of the murder of a young
woman in Ohio, for which a tramp,
Charles Sterling, was hanged, pro-
testing his innocence. The conclud-
ing sentences were:
Charles Sterling was an innocent
man. l am guilty of the murder Of
that young girl"
How many, many times Herzig
must have wished he had gone to his
death on the gollows in place of the
innocent man who was executed. In
the long years of mental torture that
interviewed between the commission
of the crime and tn death of the
criminal, Herzog suffered more agony
than would be involved in a thous-
ands deaths Every hour, every min,
ute he suffered The only reason
conceivable why he did not end il
sooner must be that he feared to
Of the grave.
And at last even that fear left him
He'll itself would be preferable TO
his anguished existence, and so he
kill himself 1t was easier for hin
to die than to live Rather THAI
bear the ills he had, he few to 9th er:
that he knew not of, feeling sure THEY
would not be worse than the ones
he suffered.

TOM O'BRIEN'S CHARGES,
Legislative Committee Finds That
They Had No Foundation.


Helena, Feb. 4.-The report of the
joint legislative committee appointed
to visit Deer Lodge and investigate
the charges made by ex-Convict Tom
O'Brien of mismanagement of the af.
fairs of the penitential, by the con.
tractors, Conley & McTague, was read
In the house yesterday afternoon. The
report was a complete refutation of
the charges made by O'Brien, his &C.
cusations being found to be without
foundation.
The charge that prisoners were be.
ing systematically "farmed" by the
contractors was found from the tes-
t1mony of inmates of the prison them
selves to be false. The charge
that the prisoners were insufficiently
clothed was not substantiated and the
condition and treatment of the in
mates Of the institution were found to
be good.
The committee made no recommen-
dation on the proposition of doing
away with the contract system in the
conduct of the state prison, this mat
ter being outside it's province. 1t was
thought best by the committee that
another special committee be appoint
ed by the legislature to investigate
and report upon the advisability of
abandoning the contract system. The
report was adopted.

TO ESCAPE INSECTS.
Rotation of Crops Effects Much Good
in Bidding Farm Of Destruc-
tive Life.

On farm of good size the best way
to keep the destructive insects down
is to rotate crops. find that in that
way I can generally escape the worst
of the insect pests, says Michigan
farmer in the Farmers Review. Where
the same crop is planted on the same
field year after year the insects have
a chance to establish themselves in
colonies. In the case Of the. plant lice
on corn roots there is little danger the
first year because the ants are the real
mischief makers If the field has been
in oats the previous year we may ex-
pect to find no ants there, for lice do
not feed on the roots of the oat plant.
Not till corn has been on the same
land for several years will the ant in
vasion become serious, and without the
ant invasion we have nothing to fear
from the lice.
The Hessian fly is quite easily stamp
ed out by taking away his food supply
for one year, but we must do that by
depriving this insect of all of his main
stays in feeding-wheat, rye and bar
ley. Not only must we put the land
into something else than those crops,
but we must be careful that in the
field planted to corn or potatoes no
volunteer wheat, rye or barley is per-
mitted to grow
