IS REPR|EvED.
Governor Bell Respites
Mrs. Rogers Till
June z.
WOMANUNCONCERNED

Windsor, VT, Feb. 2.-Without the
slightest realizing sense of what it
meant to her, and with no trace Of
emotion, Mrs. Mary Rogers, who was
to have been hanged from the gibbet
tomorrow for Staying her husband,
Marcus Rogers, that she might get
his life insurance and marry her par
amour, heard this afternoon that she
had been granted reprieve by Cover
nor Bell, until June 2.
All Windsor went wild with the
news, men shook hands with each 9th
er on the street corners and women
publicly embraced the deputy sheriffs
for their efforts to gain reprieve
for Mrs. Rogers, but the woman In
the death cell in the state peniten-
tiary gave no sign.
Within half an hour after the news
of the reprieye, the gallows was taken
down by the happy employees of the
prison.
1t was shortly before 8 o'clock when
High Sheriff Peck received tele-
phone message from Governor Bell,
that he had reprieved Mr.. Rogers until
juno 2.
The message was received at the
hotel and the sheriff gave a shout of
delight at the news, and almost run
to the penitentiary.
Mrs. Rogers was seated In the pass
age outside of her CELL writing a last
letter to her mother. She was
dressed in a long loose calico gown. A
guard sat near her.
Sheriff Peck hurried breathlessly
down the corridor and said to Mrs.
Rogers, whom he had never seen be-
fore: Mrs. Rogers, am Sheriff
Peck"
"Yes," replied Mrs. Rogers, while
she scarcely paused in her writing.
Il have some good news for you, I"
said Peck almost triumphantly.
"Is that so?" replied the woman,
languidly, as she carefully and slowly
put aside her writing.
Then she arose to her feet and look
ed indifferently at the sheriff, who ex'
claimed in his eagerness to break the
news: "Mrs. Rogers, the governor
has reprieved you until June End"
"Yes," she answered. THAT is very
nice indeed, am thankful to my
friends"
The woman who had an hour before
believed that she must die on the
morrow sat down and resumed hel
writing where she had left off. She
made no comment to her guard, and
when the missive to her mother was
finished, she curled upon her cot and
went to sleep.
Sheriff Peck was almost aghast al
The indifference which Mrs, Rogers
displayed, and after giving vent ts
an expression which sounded like I'm
dinged bust,v he hurried below, where
he and his deputies held great ju
y, biliation over the release for time

liked TO perform. 14

FOLKS LID O. K"
Kansas Editor Found Germans Drink
ing Ginger AIe-He MarveIs.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 5.-William
Allen White, the Kansas editor and
author, after spending twenty four
hours in st. Louis, vainly trying to
find a hole in Governor Folks Sun
day lid" admitted that it was, as
Colonel Ed Butler declared it to be
to him at Manitou, Col, a few days
ago, iron clad, bessemer steel, cop
per-riveted."
The Kansas man came here with the
avowed intention of making holes in
the lid" and then writing articles.
He described his failure to make holes
in a characteristic manner.
'Tnis afternoon" he said, Il went
out to Lemps park and there I saw
about five hundred Germans compla-
Gently drinking. ginger ale. Think of
that! 1t almost killed me. They
were listening to real German music
played by a real German band fresh
from the father1and, and they were
drinking ginger ale, like they liked
it. Why say, it almost killed me. I
never thought Ia see the day.
There was some stuff in bottles
that they called Klondike fizz. Here
is where 1 poke the finger of scorn at
Governor Folk said to myself.
This is the hole in the lid, this must
be beer under an alias I ordered two
bottles of it and when the waiter
opened one it foamed and fizzled like
the real thing. 1 laughed inwardly.
SO the lid is just paper one, just
as I thought meditatei 1, and then
1 drained a glass of the fizz. But I
had to take a drink of coffee to get
that morning after taste out of my
mouth. I was mistaken. 1t was not
beer under an alias. 1 don't know
what it was. How the sturdy Ger
mans could drink it I don't know.
There they sat listening to the band
and the band had three kettle drums.
When a German listens to three ket-
tledrums for while he wants a drink
Of beer, but instead of beer he gets
ginger ale and Klondike something"
Il tell you it was awful" he con-
tinued, land the players in the band,
poor fellows! They would play a
another for a while, and then wander
away and buy popcorn. I have never
thought would see the day."

Holds Men Responsible.

BOSTON, Sept. 5.-The race suicide
question has been officially taken up
in the state of Massachusetts, by c.
FELTON, Pidgin, in charge of the state
census now in progress. Mr.. Pidgin
mas an Idea that the fact that the
population does not increase is to be
blamed more upon men who refuse
to wed than upon small families.
Chief Pidgin believes that children
are born to women about one in three
years on the average and he says that
if mis- enumeration shows this he will
have proved that there is no sucn
thing as race suicide on the part of
the married, but that it is the unmar-
ried who are to be blamed"

The entry list is now closed, and an
inspection of it assures the fulfill
ment of Mr.. Wisdom's early prophecy
that the stock snow would be not only
the best ever held in the west but one
of the best ever held anywhere. Stock
men all over the United States have
taken keen interest in it from the
first, and a very large attendance of
western stockmen is expected as many
have postponed their visit to tine big
fair in order to enable them to be
present when the stock show is in
progress.
Among the more notable entries,
mention might be made of Univers, the
winner of many prizes, a stallion pur-
chased year ago by Boedigheimer

Laughlin Brothers of Kansas City, for
consideration in the neighborhood
of $4,000. Univers won first prize in
class, and two medals and two prizes
in collection at st. Louis last year. He

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION BEGAN HEARING At
WASHINGTON, TODAY.
Present Proceedings Are Considered as
Test and Will Prove Valuable
to Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-The
interstate commerce commission has
today began the hearing in regard to
the charges brought against a number
of railroad companies and private con-
Germs owing private rolling stock for
the transportation of their products
1t is charged that the act to regulate
interstate commerce is being violated
in several particulars by the defend
ants. The proceedings are directed
against the Armour Car line, the
American Refrigerator Transportation
company, the Santa Fe Refrigerator
Dispatch and the following railroads;
st. Louis & San Francisco; Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe; st. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern; Central OF
Georgia.; Southern Atlantic Coast line;
Seaboard Airline, Pennsylvania, South
ern Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
1t is alleged that by way of rebates
or other devices the refrigerator lines
are acting for the railroads as author
lied agents, and the railroads, act
ing through the refrigerator lines, are
collecting and receiving for the refrig-
GRAFTON of fruit and vegetables lower
rates from some shippers than they are
contemporaneously receiving for SINH
lar services rendered to other shippers.
This is held to be in violation of Sec
tons two and three of the act to reg
ulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and file with the Interstate Commerce
commission the rates and charges i'm
posed for the refrigeration of fruits
and vegetables constitute a violation
of Section of the interstate commerce
act.
The present proceedings are consid
cred as a test and it is said they will
prove of great value in informing con-
gress that new laws are needed for ma
tional control of private car lines
where combinations are made with
railroads, which affect the freight and
refrigerator schedules.

STAND BY LABOR
Is Plea of Tri City Unionist tor
Candidacy of J. w. Cav
anaugh.
STRONG DECLARATION MADE
Indicating Position of Union Men IN
the Pending Cam
paign.

Another convincing proof of
the position in which labor
is found, and should be found in
the present campaign, was afforded
today when the Tri-City UniOnist, the
official representative of the Tri-City
Labor congress, came out with a
strong plea for labor to stand by
James w. Cavanaugh for mayor of
Rock Island. The statement is print
ed in bold type on the cover of the
publication under the heading, La
boris Chance is Offered in the Candi-
dacy of James w. Cavanaugh," and
reads as follows:
IF the laboring people ever had a
chance to elect a typical and long
time representative of their cause to
the office of mayor of Rock Island, they
have it in this election. We know OF
of union labor, or a more creditable
faithful and earnest advocate of the
principles which every laboring man
holds dear than James w. Cavanaugh
What Position VIII Indicate.
eff they do not embrace this oppor
tunity, it strikes us that they will show
very plainly that they do not appreci
ate the position that any great party
may take to do honor to one of their
number. Why any laboring man should
hesitate one second in this matter
passes our comprehension
