No EXCHANGE Necessary.

Charles NJ. Schwab. like most men
of wealth, gets innumerable letters
asking him to subscribe to charities.
When MI. Schwab is assured OF a
charity's usefulness he subscribes lib
orally to it, but often, of course, he
has to refuse to give to charities about
which he is dubious.
Not long since Mr.. Schwab received
a letter from a stranger in London.
"Knowing as do your generosity"
this stranger wrote, II have put you
down for forty-pound or two hundred
dollar subscription to our miners wild
ow's fund. Christmas is approaching
and we propose to give a fowl and a
Christmas pudding to each miners
widow on Christmas eve. In this good
work your donation will help largely"
Mr.. Schwab replied to the stranger
as follows:
Though I know nothing Of you or
your fund, respond gladly to the call
you make upon me. Il. too. am inter-
ested in a charity similar to yours 1t
is an American charity. and since it
stands in need of funds for Christ
mas treat, have not hesitated to put
YOU down for subscription OF 5000
to it. Thus no money need pass be-
tween us"

TAXATION OF SMALL GRAIN.
Bill to Compel the Elevators to Pay
Taxes on All Grain Received.

Bill to Compel the Elevators to Pay
Taxes on All Grain Received.
Representative Harry Nicholson OF
Ramsey county, who is an independent
grain buyer at Crary. has measure
which he believes will result in a large
increase in taxation should it become
a law. The measure provides for a
fixed rate of taxation on all grain in
elevators and warehouses. Flax is to
be taxed at one-half cent per bushel'
wheat at three-eighths of cent. OATS
barley, corn, speltz and rye at one
eighth of a cent per bushel.
Under the present law assessors
throughout the state are able to ma
hut a very small amount OF grain IN
elevators and warehouses when the
assessment should be made. 1T being
an unwritten law for all firms, compa-
nies and individuals engaged in the
buying. of grain to ship out every
bushel of grain possible in order to
eyade taxation that they claim is pro-
hibitive.
AS a result, the state receives very
email tax on wheat and other grains,

John ROONEY MUST PAY PENALTY
United States Supreme Court Decides That Slayer OF Minnesota
( Man Must Hang on North Dakota 6alows.

John Rooney, the Fargo murderer,
must hang. The decision of the
United States supreme court that he
can find no relief from that body
leaves no further hope of escape
through the channels of the court.
Executive clemency may be sought,
but it is not thought it will be of any
avail, in view of the manner in which
Ahe murder was committed, and the
former bad record of the prisoner.
Rooney was convicted here in 1908
OF the murder of Harold Sweet of
White Earth. Mimi, near Fargo.
Harold Sweet and two brothers were
en- route to the North Dakota har-
vest fields early in August. They de-
cided to save hotel bills, and campel
on the outskirts Of the city. During
the night Rooney and pal attempt
ed to hold the boys up. The brothers
made vigorous fight, and succeeded
in frightening Rooney's companion.
Harold Sweet held on to Rooney, who
shot him fatally, but was captured BY
the brothers before he could get away.
was ever found.
Rooney was convicted late in the
fall, and between the date of his ex-
ecution and sentence the legislature
enacted a measure requiring all ex-
ecutions to be held at the state peni-
tentiary instead of at the county seats
where the crimes were committed. 1t
N'also changed the length of time be-
tween the sentence and execution
from three to six months.
Judge Pollock vas notified by the
secretary of state of the change OF
location Of executions, but not Of the
change in length Of time. Rooney
was sentenced to be hanged at Bis
narck. and the date of the execution
set only little more than three
months away. When the error was
discovered the condemned man wa:
brought back from Bismarck before
the court and again sentenced.
Rooneys attorneys claimed the

GUILTY OF MANsLAUGHTER.

Hartzeil, North Dakota Lawyer. Who
Killed His Neighbor, Is Convicted
at Pembina.
The Jury in the Hartzell murder case
at Pembina brought in a verdict or
manslaughter il the first degree, the
penalty for which is five years in the
penitentiary.
The evidence seemed to justify such
a verdict in the eyes of the public.
The case may be appealed.
In 1902 E. S. Hartzell and Edward
Bascom left Blue Earth county, Mime
sofa, allured to Cavalier county, N. D..
by the prospects Of cheap land and
easy speculation. Shortly after COM
ing there Bascom took the examina-
zion for admission to the bar and has
been a practicing attorney at Langdon,
N. D., since his admission.
At about the same time Byron Stod-
dard. also of Blue Earth county, set
lied on farm adjoining that which
the defendants had purchased. situa-
ted about one and half miles from
l.angdon, and during the first summer
everything was pleasant between
them.
In the fail clouds commenced to
gather, the cause being the fact that
the wife of Stoddard had left him and
had applied to the firm of Hartzell q
Bascom to secure a divorce for her
ON the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment. This difficulty between the
husband and wife was subsequently
amicably settled, but not until Stod'
dard had appeared at the office OF the
attorneys and threatened them with
bodily injury for their actions in the
matter. In the fall of 1904 the old
difficulty was again raised by the de-
PENDANTS shooting dog belonging to
Stoddard, they claiming that he had

legislature had enacted an OK post
facto law They contended that he
had been convicted under one law
and sentenced under another, and that
the requirement that the execution
should be held in the states prison,
and that he be confined there six
months prior to that time, added
ignominy and punishment that did
not exist at the time of his conviction.
An appeal to the state supreme
court failed to secure relief. and the
case was carried to the United States
supreme court, with the hope that the
sentence would be declared void. Ihc
highest court sustained the North Da-
kota jurists. and Rooney must pay
the extreme penalty, unless GOV. oaf-
le; and the pardon board decides 10
commute the sentence.
Rooney will probably be returned
to Fargo at an early date for new
sentence, which cannot occur carrier
than six months from the time it Is
imposed.
Roonev's record has not been gooo
one. He had frequently been arrested
on charges of committing hold-ups. IN
the spring and summer seasons ne
worked as a teamster, and in the 1all,
when the country was filled with Ia
bcrers. they were his prey. His oper
ations were confined largely to Fargo
and Moorhead and the trains running
out of the two towns.
Rooneys father was a New YORK sa'
1oonkeeper. His parents died early
and he was sent to farm in Iowa
where he remained till he was w.
when he ran away. His criminal rec
ord began soon afterwards.
The case was argued before the
United States supreme court for the
state by ex-State's Attorney Smith,
and for the defense by Congressman
Spalding. The firm of Spalding &
Stambaugh carried the appeals
through all the courts at their own
expense, as they felt he should not be
! hanged under the change OF the law.

stock. At this time, too, threats were
made by both parties. Stoddard hav-
ing said at the time that he would
shoot Hartzell on sight.
In the spring of 1904 it was difficult
for Stoddard to reach LangdOn by the
graded road owing to the water taking
out bridge along the highway, and
he did at several times cut the wire
fence surrounding the farm of the de-
PENDANTS and drive across their grow
ing crop in going to and from town.
This was objected to, and he was told
not to do it again.
On the day Of the homicide the de.
PENDANTS had gone to the fence for the
purpose of repairing the same, taking
with them, one revolver and the 9TH
er shotgun loaded with No. l shot:
also a wire stretcher, hammer and
nails. While engaged in the repairing,
Stoddard and his wife drove up, Stod-
dard inquiring if he were to be allow
ed to pass through. When answered
in the negative he said:

approached the fence with pair Of
wire clippers in his left hand. His
! wife, fearing trouble, also stepped
from the buggy, and as she did so She
