When Jaiier Whitman, who has long
been friend Of Hoch, appeared in his
cell and. remarked: FIVE ,{6s,

all right at 1: 80" H.
The. jailer, after consultation with
Sheriff Peters, agreed to the delay
Hoch then asked that his dinner be
sent for. His wish was granted and
he ate with an evident relish and ap-
parently without thought that he
would never enjoy another meal.
It was exactly 1882 when Hoch, pre-
ceded by Deputy Sheriff Peters and
attended by Jailer John L. Whitman,
Rev. Ashleter and Rev. y. r.. Burkland,
stepped upon the scaffold and two min.
utes later he was corpse. He walked
upon the scaffold quietly and stood
directly under the moose, with heels
together and head erect like a soldier
on parade. He was pale but composed
and full Of courage. .S $ e. :Ss.s:.
Rev. Burkland was steadily reciting
the prayerssfor the dying when Deputy
Sheriff Peters asked Hoch to step back
upon the trap. He took two steps
quickly, glanced down to see il he was
In the proper place and then turned
his face to the deputy sheriff. !.

asked Deputy Sheriff Peters

Mr.. Burkland was still reciting the

He chopped off the last words in a
short, incisive manner and before his
voice was silenced1 the drop fell. ;sr
DR.. Mcnamara, the county physi-
clan, was at Hoch's side at the instant
he fell and declared death had been
instantaneous, the neck being broken.
s Rev. j. r. Burkland, one of Hoch' IS
spiritual advisers, had q talk with the
prisoner shortly before he was led to
the scaffold and said later that Hoch
had confessed. z i. y i :ssS s.ss
Did he confess to the murder?n he
wac asked. The clergyman hesitated
and then answered:
Well, he said that he had been q

He declined to say whether or not
Hoch had confessed the crime. b
After the hanging Hoch's attorneys
said that outstanding the execu-

graduation that workers outside the

so great has been the expansion of
the functions of the trades union that
it now expects the active assistance Of
every man in public life This expec-
tation is not confined to America. In
some countries great things have been
accomplished by the unions in the field

New Zealand--which are now profiting

greater victories. Hon. w. P. Reeves

KAlSER'S DIGNITY WAS HURT.
Offended by Shoes of One of His Con
 sular Agents.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe- gians for Queen Alexandra is the, more remarkable as, in the matter of crowned heads, they have some ex- cuse for affecting to be blase.
 The German emperor, of course. is a regular frequenter of the fjords, but he allows no liberties to be taken with his sacred person. On one occa- sion when the Hohenzollern anchored off little town, the German consular agent, as in duty bound went aboard to pay his respects; but, not being possessed of uniform, it did not ap- pear to him necessary to appear at midday in the comic opera kit of evening dress on board the vessel.
 He therefore presented himself in an attire that compromised the official correctness of frock coat by brown boots. His majesty, however, resent ed the informality, called the atten- tion of the consul general at Bergen to the solecism, and announced his intention of ceasing to honor the place with any further visit-London P.

Department of Justice Begins Suit at
 St. Louis to Kill Giant Trust.
The Petition Filed Asks That the Combination Be Declared Unaw- fu and Restrained from Doing of the Mo- nOpoly and How It Is Alleged to Restrain Trade
 Its Enormous Profits

of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey from $10,000,O00 to $110,000,- GOO, and made it the holding corpora tion and placed the control through stock ownership of all the corpora tions previously held by the trusts into the said company, and exchanged its stock for the stock so acquired share for share, issuing therefor s97,- 250, 900 par value-the exact amount of the trust certificates previously is sued by the trustees.
 The stock of this company was in creased by small amount, and is now ssS,33S,300.
 Some Standard Oil Methods.
 The petition then shows the meth ods employed by the Standard Oil company to monopolize the oil busi- ness. These include discriminating contracts with the railroad companies, manipulation of rates, local price cut ting, bogus independent companies, etc.
 The bill sets up among others con tract between the Standard Oil com pany and the Tidewater Pipe company whereby the Tidewater companies are limited to 111a per cent of certain business in Pennsylvania and New York, and the Standard Oil company to receive Ss12 per cent of the busi- ness, the Standard Oil company guar anteeing the Tidewater company $50O,- 900 per annum profits, thereby elim- mating all competition between them.
 The bill alleges contract made with the Pennsylvania railroad com pany in 1884, which was in existence until 1906, by which the Standard Oil company was able to maintain the public charges for transporting crude oil from western Pennsylvania at 40 and 45 cents a barrel to Philadelphia and New York respectively. The Stand ard Oil company, through it's own pipe lines, transported the oil for eight cents a barrel.

AWFUL SUFFERING.
From Dreadful Pains from Wound on Foot-System All Run Down
 Miraculous Cure by Cuticura.

Words canont speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am how seventy-two years of age My sys4m had been all run down. My blood kas so bad that blood poisoning had set in. 1 had several doctors attending me, so finally 1 went to the hospital where 1 was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost be- yond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and l was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leav- ing me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. was simply disgusted and tired of life I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time 1 was not able to wear shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were 1 bought set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was druggist, and the praise that gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed mir dSlC lOI llc IlcuculcS tOOh effect immediately. 1 washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before apply ing the Ointment and I took the Re- solvent at the same time. After two weeks treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly be- lieve their own eyes.

COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee import CTS and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee.
 In the coffee importers book a chap ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine,'' and advocates it's use as such.
 Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested.
 Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whis. ky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistak- able way by leaving off the active ir- rltant-coffee-and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten gAays. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint. heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.
 There's reason" for Postum.

 It is alleged that the Standard Oil company has had control of the carry ing business by pipe lines in and from all the oil producing regions of the United States except Texas, Louisiana and California; that they charged eX- cessive and unreasonable rates, and rates which were discriminatory in favor of the Standard Oil company; that they have refused to furnish equal facilities for receiving and de livering oil of independent shippers and reffners; that they have refused to transport oil belonging to others than the defendants and their associa- ted companies, and since the month of August, 1906, have refused to transport oil of others except in such large quan- titles as to completely prevent inde- pendent producers and refiners of oil from using their service. and that they have forced Is independent refiners now doing business in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and producing their crude oil through the Standard Oil com pany's pipe lines, to sell all of their export oil to the Standard Oil com pany. thereby eliminating their com petition. This contract was procured through threats of the Standard Oil company to reduce the amount of crude oil which it would sell to the independent refners.

CHILDRFN'S DAY
 EXERCISES

Childreu's Day exercises at the Pres byterian church last evening, drew the largest attendance of parents and friends that has yearly accorded them, and the program was fully equal to anything yet given by these young entertainers.
 There were four class songs which were very prettily render ed. A class of boys was represented in the reading of the Scripture. The recitatiOns were especially enjoyed, little Doris Van Horn appearing for the first time with great credit to herself.
 A new sonSster was on the platform, in the person of a canary, whose notes blended sweetly with the chi hil1ren's voices,
