declared that it was a lie that he had
spent money on any woman.
He said he took but $4,000 with
him. He could have taken quarter

that he had never taken a dollar be-
longing to other people. He insists
that his liability does not exceed half
a million.

Cotton said that his real name is
Robert Carpenter and that he is an es-
capped convict, but he did not say from
what penitentiary he escaped nor
what crime he was convicted of,
He denied emphatically that he
violated his wife's body after DEATH
but those who heard the testimony at
the trial say that he lies when he says
this, as the marks in the mud beside
the woman's body when it was found
prove conclusiyely that he did commit
this worst crime of all.
The condemned man slept well last
night, ate a good breakfast which was
sent In to him this morning from a
restaurant, and was apparently strong

been yesterday. After being shaved,

Rev. Hawkins was admitted, together
with a preacher from Wan, his former
home, and these two spiritual advisers
were with him from that time until
his execution.
1t had been expected that ne would
make a still further confession this
morning, but he did not Go SO, and
went to his death with many details
of his past history not divulged. He
made no statement whatever from
the scaffold, being seemingly too terri
fed to do anything save to repeat over
and over his appeal for mercy.

Urinary ELECTIONS
SUIT PLAIN PEOPLE
Wisconsin and Minnesota People
Would Not Think of Going Back
to Convention System

Editor Mat Telin Of the Alton
4 max is recently from Minnesota,
aere, as a member for years Of the
unity executive committee Of the
epublican party, he had opportunity
observe the workings Of the pri-
ary law adopted recently in that
ate. His opinion regarding the op-
alton Of such law is therefore en-
tied to consideration. He says:
The Climax is in favor of the pri-
lary system adopted in Wisconsin
ad Minnesota, where the primaries
ii all parties are held on the same
az, in the came booths, with the
lme election judges and clerks. The
lies and regulations governing the
aneral election are carried on at the
rimary election. Candidates do not
ay the expense OF holding the pri-
aary election, and there is also a law
uniting the amount of expenditures
4 each candidate for nominating
lampaign purposes. Each candidate,
he same as IN Texas, must give a
worn statement Of his expenses.
There is no reason whatever, under
tn primary system, for candidates to
spend any more money than under the
Convention system, and not so much.
W der the convention system, the
andidate with money can force the
Oorer candidates out Of the race al
ogether thus defying men Of limited
means the full and fair opportunity to
submit their claims before the people;
out this cannot be done under the
Wisconsin system.
The writer has seen the convention
system and also the improved primary
system and, we say, give US the pri-
mary law. Under the primary system
We have seen poor men receive nom
nations, who would never have had
the coin to secure the nomination in
onyentions that we're controlled, as a
ple, by political bosses. The writer's
aative state is Minnesota and they
have modern primary system in
dominating the county, legislative,
judicial and congressional candidates,
Ind the plain people-the farmer, the
Iaborer, ETC., would not change back
to the old convention system, but in
stead are demanding the extension of
the primary system to take in all of
The state offices. The only ones who
IRE making a howl against the pri-
mary system in Minnesota are the old
bosses who used to have ma

Under the primary system the ma
chine politics are thing of the past
and the people can nominate whoever
they please. Let US have perfect

will be satisfactory to all people except
to those who are endeavoring to or
ganize political machines in order to
advance their own ambitions for some

German Buqaboo.

Casper Whitney. in "rhe View-P Point"
 in The Outing Magazine for December.
 Of all the bugaboos in this world of political ghosts. perhaps the most shad- owy is the constantly repeated warning against Germany's absorption of Brazil.
 The German inhabitants of Brazil num- Der about 250,00O in total population of something like 100000; and Brazil is about as large as the United States minus Alaska. There are three Italians for one German in Brazil, and ten dollars of British capital for every German dollar invested.
 In the two southern states of Brazil, there was considerable German immigra- ton about 1S40. and the decendants of the original immigrants have multiplied amazingly. But they have not been ren- forced to any considerable extent by sub- sequent immigration. and they have in- termaried freely with the Portuguese and the Brazilians.
 l believe I am very near the correct figures in stating that in the last ten years, less than ten thousand Germans have immigrated into Brazil Their principal centers are the cities of Rio ds Janeiro, Sac Paulo, and Santos: and the three southern states of Parana. Sta Catharina, and Rio Grande do Sul.

LOVE IS A DREAM.
Chicago Professor Disclaims Against
 Marrying Pretty Faces.

From the Chicago Record Herald
 If the people of America would keep the coming generations from inhabiting i madhouses they should abolish indis- criminate marriages, forget that halluci- antion on the same principal that sue eessful cattleman chooses his stock" In the above sentece Dr. Julius Grin ker professor of nervous and mental dis eases at the Chicago Postgraduate Med ical School, last night voiced a warning to the American public of the great dan- gers which may confront it in the near Building, under the auspices of the Chi cago Medical Society, on American ner- vousness: It's cause and cure" A large audience listened to the address,
 Dr. Grinker eliminated all scientific terms from his lecture and told his audi ence in plain words of the nervous dis eases which were slowly, but surely, eat
 ing their way into the lives of the people of this country. Considerable stress was laid on the great evils which result from bad marriages were shown.
 Like begets like" said he. ''and the nervous system bows to the law of all life-the law of heredity the law that governs your life and mine. If We are bundles of unstable nerves and abnormal susceptibilites, it is but little trouble to trace the cause back to our forefathers The youth of today should be educated and compelled to choose his mate in the way that fine horses and cattle are chosen.

Greenhouse as a Hot-Bed.

Eben E. Rexford in Making the Country
 Home" in The Outing Magazine for De- cenber.
 The man who has small greenhouse will not need to go to the trouble of mak- ing hot beds A greenhouse is really a hot bed on large scale, ready for use at any season and always under greater control than the ordinary hot bed can ever be- With a greenhouse ten by twenty feet, one can grow all the early vegetables an average size family would use and have plenty of room for Towering plants The cost is not nearly so great as most per sons imagine. Glass, at the present time. is the item of greatest expense. Several firms manufacture small hot water ap- paratuses for heating, which can be run about as cheaply and as easily as the or dinary coal stove. If the green house is connected with the dwelling, the heating system of the latter can be extended to it with very little trouble Or kerosene stoves can be used. These, if properly cared for, give off large volume of heat without smoke or perceptible odor Their heat is steady and can be tempered to the necessary degree of moisture by keeping pans of water on the stove drum.

 If there could be law passed in this country by which men and women would be compelled to undergo physical exam nations and have the physical records of their ancestors investigated before a mar riage would be allowed, 1t would be the best thing that could possibly happen If it were possible that this law could be passed hundreds of diseases, ailments and ills would be eradicated from the race.
 Dr. Grinker spoke of the prevailing causes of nervousness and told of the numerous little things by which the neuresthenic could be easily distinguish ed. America, he said had more nervous people than any country in the world, al- most one member of every family in the United States being afflicted with some form or other of nervousness. Among the most nervous class. he said women predominated.
 You see thousands and thousands of nervous women on the streets every day." said he, and about ninety-nine out of a hundred should be in a sanitarillm The shopping habit is one of the great causes"
 Besides heredty Dr. Grinker said that invironment had much to do with the prevailing nervous epidemic. The bring ing up of children, he said. was the most important and the most ignored phase of the situation.
