for horses, not only Of unquestioned quality and
speed but for those of inferior worth All things
considered, the sale is the most successful ever
held by the Fasig-T1pton Company. There Is q
keen and apparently unlimited demand for the

When we come to naming a team for second
place. the task is more complicated. There are
three candidates for it-Dartmouth, Harvard
and Pennsylvania. OF course this admits to
the big four a team not previously regarded as
having any claim to that class, but the big four
must in all fairness be teams that play big foot
ball. If the little college teams play big foot
ball they ara eligible, and Dartmouth has played
big football this year. Pennsylvania and Dart
mouth did not meet, but Harvard met them
both, being beaten by Pennsylvania, u to 6.
and tied by Dartmouth. I convinced that
if Harvard had been playing Pennsylvania on
Saturday she would have decisive victory,
but must take what happened, not what
might have happened. AS a matter of fact,
Pennsylvania did beat Harvard, sloppy and
f1uky game though it was Moreover, the
Quakers played more games twelve in alb than

Under the Vermont law the power
of Communication of sentence rests with
the legislature, and the law also pro-
v4ues that when a person is sentenced
to death a session of the legislature
must be held between the time of SEN
tence and the date set for the execu-
tion. At the last session of the legis-
lsture various attempts were made to
commute Mrs. Rogers sentence, but
all failed. Then an attempt was made
to pass law abolishing capital pun
ishment in Vermont, but that also
failed An attempt to secure par
don for the woman shared the same
fate. A bill was introduced providing
for the appointment of a state COM
mission)to look into the woman's san
ity. This bill passed the house unani.

That body denied the petition. Gov
Bell, on June I, granted a second re-

supreme court might pass upon the
constitutionality and legality of the
proceedings November 27 the SUI

Woman Goes to the Scafold Perfectly
Calm-Hanged for the Murder Of
Her Hus sband-Brief Story Of Long
Fight to Save Her.

Windsor, VT, Dec. 9.-Without q
tremor and without a word, Mrs.
Mary Mabel Rogers on Friday
marched to her death on the gallows
at the state prison here and paid the
penalty of numbering her husband,
Marcus Rogers. at Bennington, on Au-
gust 13, 1902 To all appearances,
Mrs. Rogers was the calmest person
In the chamber of death. She faced
her end with the same stoical indiffer-
ence that had marked her demeanor
ever since her arrest, more than three
years ago. Greatly to the relief Of
those officials who were assisting in
executing the sentence, Mary Rogers
last hour was remarkably free from
narrowing incidents. 1t =, had been
feared that the woman's wonderful
nerve would desert her at the final
moment and that she would be carried
to the scaffold in state of collapse
Instead, however, Mrs. Rogers met
death bravely. There were no sensa-
tional incidents in connection with the
hanging. Although the woman was
not officially pronounced dead until
IA minutes and 80 seconds after the
trap was sprung, she evidently suffered
no pain. Her neck was broken at the
second cervical vertebra and she lost
consciousness instantly the drop fell.
A few feeble convulsive movements of
her pinioned hands were the only evil
dences that vitality had survived the
first shock. -.
minutes after death was announced,
the body was taken from the prison to
the railroad station and the coffin was
placed on board the 1855 train and
sent to Hoosic Falls. N. Y, where Mrs
Rogers mother lives. Interment will
be at st. Mary's cemetery in that
town. Those who witnessed the exc
cution united in saying that it was
successful and humane. ..-s
Murdered Her Husband.
The career of Mrs. Rogers has been
q remarkable one. A wife at 16 and
murderess at 10, she was only %
on the day Of her execution. In 1902,
having won the affections of three
men, she killed her husband, Marcus
H. Rogers. with the aid of another
admirer, Leon Perham, to the end
that she might marry a third lover,
Maurice Knapp. Perham confessed,
and is serving life sentence. Mrs.
Rogers was born at Hoosic Falls, N.
Y, and when married moved to Ben
nington, VT, where the murder was
committed. On the day of the mur-
der Marcus Rogers went to Benning-
ton to visit his wife, and that night
she arranged to meet him in the
woods near the Walloomsac river.
Wine caressing him she induced him
to allow her to bind his hands, and
while he was powerless she chloro-
formed him. In this she was aided
by Perham, half-witted boy, who
was the son Of the woman with whom
she boarded. Another woman. Es-

HER LAST WORD.

The family gathered round her bed,
And many a teardrop fell
The while she struggled hard for
breath
To bid them all farewell.
In youths full bloom she found her
fate,
Crushed by a crowd malign
While striving for the bargain hats
At dollar ninety-nine.
Ah. never more those dainty feet
VIII course from dawn till night
Through the dry goods districts
crowded ways
Or in bargains take delight.
And never those fast glazing eyes
Will glow with joy intense
Ger the capture of dollar prize
Reduced to sixty cents!
She strove to speak. With halting
breath
Her last instructions gave,
Then turned with beseeching look
To her husband, sad and grave.
"Oh, promise me-" she hoarsely spake
(Her eyes like glowing lamps,
you'll choose an undertaken who
Gives purple trading stamps!"

EDUCATION AT THE FAIR.

Until the people of oregon visit the
Lewis and Clark fair and come in ac-
tual contact with the great resources
of their own northwest land, they will
not thoroughly comprehend the scope
and value of this exposition.
It will be carnival of education,
continuous round of instruction from
the day it opens until the last door
closes on October 15.
AS an example of the education to
be received, it is only necessary to
mention outlines of the exhibits of
the western states. Even these west
ern exhibits will offer a study that
will be worth the fair and all its cost
to the people, to say nothing of the
vast variety Of other state and for
eign exhibits.
wyoming will have on display 900
distinct exhibits of oil, from the most
highly refined and purified typewriter
and sewing machine oil, to the crude
locomotive lubricant. How many Or

state will present 30 distinct grades

wild Horses in Neyada.

Wandering across the deserts OF
Nevada are large bands of wild
horses. These enterprising animals
have inflicted so much damage upon
ranchers and travellers in general
through a habit of stampeding and
kidnapping domestic stock. at which
they are experts, that all humanity is
against them and no opportunity is
neglected to kill them. This has Gre
ated such a distrust in the minds of
the equine savages that it is practi-
cally impossible to get within shoot
ing distance of a band unless they are
asleep, as often happens.

Idaho will have on display over 100
varieties of fruit. Utah will present
the most varied exhibit of any west
ern state. and it is said will show 800

westerner, worth all the cost of the
fair. Oregonians will come home

THE ROOSEVELT EPOCH.

When future historians write the
annals of Oregon. they will stop short
and draw a long breath when they
arrive at the year 1905, and behold
the first sharp outlines of the Roose-
welt epoch in state politics.
The wild carnival of political cor
ruption and boss rule that has con-
verted the state into a plaything of
ringsters and turned the conduct of
federal and state officers into a satur-
MALTA of get-rich-quick methods, is, on
this memorable year. brought to a sud
den and discomfiting halt, and the
Roosevelt era, clad in fearless homes
ty of purpose and cleanliness of mind
places on Oregon a new and bright
personality.
Despite the guarded gates of the
corruptionists, Roosevelt invades the
precincts of the high officials, with a
sacreligious tread that has sent con-
sternation to their guilty souls.
He asks no advice, but only says,
Let the ak descend" He seeks no
council, but only says. Take charge
of oregon and cleanse it of fraud"
Future generations in Oregon will
bless this fearless man, Roosevelt. If
he does nothing more than to rescue
the state from the hands of politicians
and give it over to the people again,
his administration will not have been
in vain.
