SETS NEW DAY FOR HANGING
Omaha Judge Orders Murderers Exc.
cuted on Monday Because Of
Crucifixion.

Omaha, Neb.-"The cricufixion of
Christ took place on Friday, and I do
nit think it appropriate to set the
execution of two murderers for that
day." said Judge Sutton the other day
when he sentenced Jay O'Hearn and
Harrison Clarke to be hanged on
Monday. The statement of the court
came as a surprise, for 1t upsets the
long established custom of making
Friday "hangman's day" my reason

court, sis that think 1t better to have

ing the purpose Of his convention he
says: President Roosevelt, as COM
mon sense farmer, If my farm will
support only so head Of stock and
try to raise 100, that is complete farm
suicide"
The king of the bachelors then con-
tends that a man is injuring the hui
man race by bringing into existence
more children than he can properly
educate and make into helpful men
and women. He holds that bachelors
and old maids should be honored for
holding aloof from the common i'm
pulse, and refraining from populating
the world with poor, half-starved
weaklings.

that he was under arrest. He was hur.
ried at once to the Cherche Midi pris-
on, where for two weeks he was kept
In close confinement without being in
formed Of the charges against him.
At the end of two weeks Dreyfus
was tried before secret court-mar-
tial. The witnesses against him were
the officers commanding the army,
several officers of the general STAFF.
Several secret documents were
shown to the judges, but not to Drey-
fus nor his counsel. These secret
documents made up what afterwards
became known throughout the world
as the famous "dossier." These docu-
ments, 1t was mysteriously explained,
not only to the judges, but to the cab
met, to the president, to parliament,
and to the press were so terrible that
for war with great continental
power. The power referred to of
course was Germany.
Dreyfus was convicted by the dos
sier." 1t may be stated here that the
documents which made up the dos
sier" were forgeries. Only one of
them has ever been made public. 1t
was private letter from Lieut.. Col.
Won Schwarzkoppen, the German mill
tary attache, to Lieut.. Col. Panizzardi,
his colleague of the Italian embassy,
written two years before, and which
contained the sentence:
"Cette canaille de d. devient trop
exigeunte." This dog of d. is
getting too importantly
1t was afterwards conceded by the
accusers Of Dreyfus that the 3D." did
not refer to Dreyfus at all, but re-
ferred to another person.
Dreyfus was convicted and SEN
fenced, first to be publicly degraded
and then to be transported and i'm.
prisoned for life on Devils island, a
barren spot off Cayenne, South Amer
lea. On January s, 1895, the first part
Of the sentence was carried out. The
troops were drawn up in a hollow
square. Dreyfus, in full dress uniform,
was conducted to the center of the
open space. A noncommissioned off,
Ger tore the epaulettes from his Shout
ders, ripped the gold braid from his
coat, tore the buttons off, and finally,
as supreme mark Of degradation,
broke his sword across his knee and
threw the dishonored fragments to the
ground. Then the unhappy officer was
compelled to march to rogues music
along the front of his regiment.
A Prisoner on DEVILS Island.
On February 8, 1895, Dreyfus
reached Devils island. Here had been
erected stockade, like pen in which
negro convicts are kept. In the stock.
ade was hut. In this hut, under the
glare Of an equatorial sun, Dreyfus
was condemned to pass the remainder
Of his life. He ate and slept In the

Claim Lepers Are Cured.

In a lengthy report submitted to
Gov. Blanchard by the board of con-
troll Of the Louisiana Leper home, an
nouncement is made for the first time
that definite cure has been obtained
in three cases of leprosy. The cures
are mentioned in the reports of DR..
hopkins, visiting physician, and Dr.
Isador Dyer, consulting Psychologist.
Three patients have been discharged.

hut and took what exercise he cared
for in the little stockade Enclosure.
He was permitted to have no converse
with his guards. He was denied the
solace of books and newspapers. He
was permitted to write to his wife
once month and to receive one let
ter month from her.
The first clew to the innocence Of
Dreyfus and to the identity of the real
culprit came later in the year 1895 by
the discovery by spies of a card tele-
gram (petit bleu) written by Lieut..
Col. Won Schwarzkoppen and ad-
dressed to Commandant Esterhazy,
calling upon him to give more detailed
information.
This card telegram-afterwards ia
nous in the case as the petit bleu"
lit was written on a little blue post
card)-was taken to Col. Georges
Picquart, who had succeeded Col
Sandherr as chief of the secret intelli-
gence bureau. Col. Picquart looked
into Esterhazy's record and anteced.
ents. He obtained specimens of his
writing and made the sensational dis
covery that it was Esterhazy and not
Dreyfus who had written the border
eau.
The struggle of Dreyfus' friends to
obtain a new trial for him went on
increasingly, but it was not until 1899,
after the death Of President Faure and
the election of Loubet that they were
finally successful.
Dreyfus landed in France on July 1,
1899, and was placed in prison at
Rennes to await his second trial. 1t
began on August 7. The same malig-
nant "dossier" was used against him.
Again he was convicted on forged evil
dence. He was sentenced on Septem-
Der to ten years detention in fort
ress on French soil. The years he had
passed on Devils island were deduct
ed from the sentence. President Lou
bet committed the remaining years.
Dreyfus, dismissed from the army,
was free man. He retired to his
estates in the country, but for the last
six years he has quietly but persist
emily worked for the vindication which
he has now gained.

iearIno on RAILROAD Assessment

Hearing on Railroad Assessment.
The state executive council took up
on the 9th its annual task OF assessing
the railroad property In Iowa, which
was valued last year at s234,5l5,000.
II has been persistently rumored that
the council, under the leadership OF
Governor Cummins, intends to mater
iaily raise the railroad assessment
this year. The railroads on the other
hand contend that their property is
already assessed too nigh and declare
that there should at least be no In
crease over the assessment OF last
year, Frank =. Crandon of Evanston.
ILL.,, tax commissioners for the Chicago
Northwestern, brought forth a
round of protests from the executive
council members when he stated In
his argument that he had been adj
vised the council had already decided
to increase the railroad assessments
this year In advance of the hearing.
The members of the council said
the statement was quite unfair, as
the council had not conferred on the
matter nor suggested any rate of as
sessment.
The rumor possibly arises from the
fact that we have been damned all
over the state the last four months
because we have not raised the rail-
road assessment more the last four
years" added Governor Cummins with
much warmth.
Governor Cummlns wound up the
dlsavowal of predetermination TO raise
the railroad assessments by remark
Ing: II had thought 1t wise that
some of the people who have persist
emily asserted that we have not done
our duty In raising railroad assess
ments ought to appear here and make

critIclses Supreme Court.

There is one man In Iowa who isn't
afraid Of the supreme court OF the
United States. He is ID. ID. Murphy
of Elkader, who delivered an address
on divorce at the opening session OF
the annual state bar convention in
the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium on the
18th. Murphy criticised the supreme
court severely for its decision in the
Paddock divorce case, made last
spring. He said the court now had
given opinions on both sides of the
same point and that there was no
ground in the Haddock case for the
decision made.

1t is expected that the Florida legis-

along the coast of that state for a

500 Greek fishermen from the Mediter-

caused the Turkish government to
close the beds.

After a discussion In which several

Judge Carr offers Big Gift.

SdFT OICTS Dig Sllts
Judge E. NJ. Carr OF Manchester mas
offered to give the state forty acres
OF land, known as the Debil's back
bone, IL the board of control will
locate the state hospital for consump-
tlves thereon.
The proposition is the best one
which the board of control has re-
ceiyed. Additional land contiguous
to the land offered may be secured at
reasonable price. The location Is
perfectly ideal, the best by far that
the board has inspected. The only
drawback is the lack OF railroad con-
nection, but correspondence Is being
carried on with view to adjusting
this difficulty, and II will be satlsfac-
torily adjusted, II ia believed.
The Debll's backbone Is said to pre-
sent the most beautiful scenery In
the west. Judge Carr and others de-
clare that there Is nothing in the
Rocky mountains which compares
with II. The members VI tire boaro
of control are enthusiastic In depict
ing the granduer of the scenery. The
land has been used for years as n
park and Professor Macbride ana
other men familiar with II have long
advocated that 1t be purchased for a
state park site.
The property Is located north from
Manchester and consists OF high
| tableland around the rocky base or
which runs the Maquoketa river.
Many of these backbones are found in
Iowa, notably one in Madison county
and one In Jackson county. but the
one north OF Manchester Is said to
present many features which make 1t
far more beautiful than any or rho
others. IL Is accessible and Is In con-
slant use for picnic parties and that
sort of thing. The board OF control
is satisfied that It would be an ideai
place for the state hospital for con.
