The guard said: Oh, what do hear;
Hast thou no mercy? Can'st not feel
That to take it would be. to steal
More than my life If I'd a wife
I'd give her, but not this.

Leave her to me; go take the rest.

A DREAM
AS Drearnpt by Charlie Sterne.
Dedicated to Post No. Greenville
Quarantine

By A. K
The night was dark, the moon shown
low,
The guard walked quietly to and fro.
When shadows Of long gone past
Stole through his mind; until at last
He heaved a sigh and from his eye
He wiped N2r.
Twas for his youth; long past and
gone;
He felt so old, so all alone,
He had no wife, no child, no home,
His pleasure it had been to roam;
And now on guard with aching heart
He stands forlorn.
1t is Post Two; and as he turns
around
He sees a grave; newly thrown up
mound,
And on the other side pond, dreary
sight,
A tree,-an owl,-the messenger OF
night
Dark all around, and not sound
To bring relief.
He closed his eyes as though in pain,
And when at last he opened them
again
/ .aoo+o- DEATH hear
ing his scythe
Is standing in the path, just by his
side
And in despair, with silent prayer
He grasps his hand.
Death whispered low; the guard he
| shook his head,
With aching heart. with trembling lips
he said:
Not that, am not old, I do not want
to die,
You'll find better looking angel i
you try;
Just look! Ny hair-there is nothing
there
To hold crown.
Yon need an angel; we'll and good;
Go take pretty man like Hood.
Go take the girls.-I love them, true
But I'll surrender them to you;
lust go to town and look around;
Take ANYTHING
Take Archer, who is in command,
Take Startling, bravest in the land.
If you don't care, I'd just as lief
: you'd take Bull, the fireman's chief,
Or take the three, but, oh, spare me
Say, is it a trade?
Take Charley West; oh, don't be har
t Let's make it Watson, of told guarc
Or if these two won't do to mix
s With angels, why go out to six,
: Get Dunbar, Yerger. Bergman, too,
i If they can walk.
Death shook his head, and quietly sal
MY friend, your offer comes too lat
I'm tired. weary, old and lame
And then besides you've played yo,
game.
You've played and lost, now pay tt
cost.
No begging off.
: 'Tis true YOU are homely brute,
{ You play, but not the harp or flute,
il And you are bald. And so might
Look at it in another light

Farmer Caught In His Own Trap.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. IA
Caught in his own burglar trap was
the thrilling experience of Clark
Jameson, a farmer residing near
Orilla, Warren county, last evening
Owing to the depredations of chicken
thieves, Jameson manufactured
contrivance over the door of which a
heavy beam was suspended, which
would drop and close the door of his
poultry house when the handle was
turned.
Returning from town last evening
he tested the trap to see if it would
work. The beam fell, striking jamie
son to the ground and breaking three
ribs.
He was discovered by his sons early
this morning pinioned to the earth
and unconscious. The exposure and
his injuries threaten serious results.

REFUSED TO GRANT A RE-
SPITE OF 60 DAYS.
Everything Ready for the Execution
-GaIIows Erected and Tested
Yesterday Afternoon.

The last hope of Frank Pasquale
escaping an ignoble death On the gall
lows at the state penitentiary to-
morrow morning went glimmering
yesterday when Governor Mead alb
solutely refused to grant the con-
demned man a respite of 60 days.
Jesse Frye, of the law firm of Frye,
Gardner & McHorg of Seattle, yes
terday made a request for 60 day
respite in order to gain time in which
to make a further showing in the
courts, but Governor Mead denied the
application.
Everything is in readiness at the
penitentiary for carrying out the
death sentence on Pasquale. The
gallows was erected and thoroughly
tested yesterday afternoon. The
death sentence reads that Pasquale
shall be hanged sometime between
sunup and shutdown. The execution
will be private, only newspaper men,
prison officials and a few guests be-
ing invited to attend.

New Pennsylvania r. r. Bonds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. IL
1t is stated on good authority that
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
will soon issue about $16,0O0,O0O of
equipment bonds to provide funds to
pay for the $4,000 new freight cars
recently ordered. A part of the plan
is to break up $4,000 old cars, as was
done three years ago with all cars
under $4,000 pounds capacity. The
cars will be destroyed for reasons
of safety and economy and will be
replaced by the new cars of greater
capacity.

I cannot express too forcibly my
opinion of it's Importance to the

Work for every system, whether To-
cal aid, state or government aid
which will get water on these great
tracts of undeveloped lands. You
ought to rejoice that through the
efforts of President Roosevelt the
national government has stepped in
vigorously to carry out these great
irrigation schemes in the arid west
I'VE are interested in your develop
ment back in Minnesota as COM
mercial proposition. The more this
country grows the more Minnesota
will gain by it. You will be tribu
tary to us in a sense. We are inter-
ested in every project for your well

Mayor Jones is large, resolute
looking man of the Roosevelt type.
He is one of those men whom it is
delight for newspaper man TO talk
with for he has ideas, is not afraid
to tell them and with an earnestness
which makes his nearer feel that he
means what he says. He seems a
young man to have achieved national
fame, but when you look at him and
talk to him you feel that he is fully
not heard the last of MIN.
He told of the delightful trip which
he had across the country, and
spoke of what a great thing it was
for Washington to have such a COM
pany come to the state at once. 1t
was an eye opener for them all. He
himself mad never been west of Spo-
kane before and was much impressed
by the difference in the character Of
this country
I'm Minnesota he said, 1--WE have
the rolling land which is like New
England, but out here everything is
very different Perhaps the most
impressive thing is the marvellous
growth of cities like Walla Walla
Bozeman and Butte. We nave cit
les at home which are not very
old and have been accustomed in
benighted way to look on this out
here as sort of the fringe of civiliza-
ton. Your growth is certainly mar
velous."

PasquaIe's Crime.

Pasquale was convicted of murder
ing Charles Gray, a young insurance
man in the railroad yards at Tacoma,
in May, 1904. The murder was de-
liberate one and for fiendishness is
hardly equalled in northwest criminal
history Gray became acquainted with
Pasquale through securing for the
Italian some accident insurance money
from the company represented by
Gray. Pasquale claimed that Gray
had not paid him the full amount due
and a dispute arose. Gray maintained
that he acted fairly and at Pasquales
suggestion, agreed to accompany the
Italian to the southern part of the
city to see other Italians who were
acquainted with the facts in the case.
At Pasquale's trial it was unfolded
that the trip to South Tacoma was
merely a plot to lure Gray to the rail-
road yards. While going through the
yards, Pasquale, who was in the lead,
suddenly turned and shot him to death
To conceal the crime Pasquale picked
up the limp body of Gray and was in
the act of placing it across the rail-
road track, where the first train would
have ground it to pieces, when he was
detected by an employe of the freight
yards, who raised the alarm.
Pasquale dropped the body and then
started on the run toward Puyallup
followed by a number of switchmen
and railroad clerks. Pasquale was
followed until darkness put an end to
the chase After a lively man hunt
Pasquale was finally caught several
days later as ne was trying to enter
Seattle about midnight. At his sub
sequent trial he was convicted Of MUIR
der in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged.
After his conviction and while he
was being held at the Pierce county
Jail. waiting to be transported to the
penitentiary, PasQuale made a des-
perate attempt to hang himself in his
cell In some manner he secured a
quantity of hemp and manufactured a
short rope. Tying this to the top of
his cell door, Pasquale looped the other
end around his neck, jumping from
little stool The cord was not strong
enough to bear his weight and he fell,
cutting mis- head badly On the iron
work. The cord cut deep gasn in
his neck and he was under a physi-
cions care for several days afterward.
Pasquale was brought to the peni-
tertiary two months ago. He was
placed in murderers row and close
watch has been kept over him. Dur
ing his Incarceration Pasquale has
been frequently visited by Catholic
priests from Walla Walla. At first he
repealed any advances but finally he
became interested and a month ago he
expressed a desire to have the death
sentence committed to imprisonment
for life.

Defense Places Great Faith In Its
 Value
Work of Securing Jury Is Difficult And
 Slow

It has been hinted more than once recently that the prosecution has had something up it's sleeve" which will produce a sensation. The defense has secuted the idea, and has looked omin- SusIy wise. Yesterday one of the at tOrueys for the defense discovered cer- sain evidence which will have an i'm portant bearing upon the case. It was not produced at the first trial because of the fact that it was not known at that time. The Journal Miner is ac- qUainted with this evidence. and while for obvious reasons it cannot be pub hshed at this time. yet it can be said that the facts are of such a character that the defense will rely upon them to a large extent to secure an acquit- tai.
 The work of passing jurors for the Storm trial is proceeding very slow ly. The venire of twenty returnable at 9.3O o'clock yesterday morning was exhausted by noon, only two jurymen having passed. A venire of thirty re- turnable this morning at ten o'clock was issued, the total number now neeessitating the passing of nine more to bring it up to the necessary total of twenty-four.
 Court was adjourned at noon, and tbe sheriff immediately got busy and notified his various deputies to round uP all persons eligible for jury duty. On G comparative basis it can be safe ly predicted that it will most likely re qnire q total venire of about fifty more to furnish the necessary ma teriaI to secure the remaining much de sired nine men. Should those be se- cured tomorrow, the real earnest work sf the trial will then commence.
