JOHANN HOCH HHANGED
WIFE MURDERER GOES BRAvELY
TO HIS DEATH ON THE GAL
Lows IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Feb. 24.Jo Johann Hoch.
convicted murderer, confessed biga-
mist, and who, if but fraction Of the
stories of crime that are told Of him
are true, was one Of the greatest Grim
inals this country has ever known,
was hanged in the county jail during
the day for poisoning his wife, Marie
Welcker-Hoch.
He faced death as he has always
said he would face it when the final
moment came calmly and concealing
any fear he may have felt. He died
with a prayer on his lips for the Off
GERS Of the law, and save for the words
Hgood bye" his last utterance was an
assertion that he was innocent.
The hanging took place at H. "a p. m.
while his attorneys were still making
desperate efforts for delay. His death,
the lawyers say, has not ended the ap-
peal. They promise to carry the case
to the supreme court Of the United
States and if 1t is there decided that
Hoch was unlawfully hanged, proceed
ings will be commenced against the Of
fcers Of the law who otficiated at the
execution.

STRIKE OF FARMERS
REMARKABLE MOVEMENT scHED.
uLED TO BEGIN ON THE
FIRST OF MARCH.

Indianapolis, Feb. PA strike Of
the 100000 farmers composing the
American Society of Equity, an or
ganization with headquarters in In
dianapolis, has been called for March
l. Everyone who responds will agree
not to market agricultural products ex-
cept at prices that have been decreed
as equitable by the officials of the or
ganization.
The response that is being made is
said to be causing considerable con-
Germ TO market men ana shippers. a
representative Of a recognized au-
thority in the wheat trade was here
during the day trying to ascertain
what response the call is receiving.
The organization claims that produc-
ers ought to get at least 81 per bushel
for wheat irrespective of the size of
the crop. It Is claimed that the price
of any agricultural commodity can be
controlled by regulating the market
ing. Kansas and Minnesota are being
canvassed. It is claimed that If these
states hold out for the higher prices,
the trick will be turned, as Minnesota
raises large percentage Of the spring
wheat crop and Kansas raises con-
trolling percentage of the winter
wheat crop.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SEEKS
TO AVERT STRIKE OF THE
soFT COAL MINERS.
Sends Letter to John Mitchell Urg-
Ing That Further Efforts Be Made to
Reach an Agreement With the Op-
Communication Results in
the Calling OF National Convention
Of Miners to Be Held March IS.

New York, Feb. 27.-President
Roosevelt has again interviewed as a
peacemaker between the coal miners
and the operators and as the result Of
= letter addressed by him to John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, a national con-
vention of the United Mine Workers

is in part as follows:
II note with very great concern the
failure Of your late convention on the
national joint agreement to come to an
adjustment on the bituminous coal
wage scale.
"a strike such as is threatened on
April / is a menace to the peace and
general welfare of the country. urge
you to make further effort to avoid
such a calamity"
President Mitchell, when asked for

TOPREVENT RUPTURE
RUSSIA USING ALL HER INFLU.
ENcE AT BERLIN IN THE IN
TEREsT OF PEACE.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Russia Is
using all her influence at Berlin to pre-
vent rupture between France and
Germany. Her action has been taken
at the instance of Paris, where the
Rouvier government is apparently con-
vinced that Germany proposes to per-
sist in her attitude even to the point
of provoking war On account of the
close relations existing between the
courts of Berlin and ST. Petersburg it
is believed in France that Russia will
have more influence upon Emperor
William than any other power. Earnest
representations in favor of concessions
to insure avoidance of an appeal to
arms were accordingly made, to which
Germany replied that she had no de-
sire to provoke war Nevertheless,
she gave no indication that she pro-
posed to modify her attitude and Rus
sia's latest advices from Algeciras in
dicate that practically all hope of an
agreement has been abandoned. AL.
though Count Cassini, head of the Rus
sian mission, reports that the confer
ence will be fruitless he expresses a
decided opinion that hostilities will
not result. Russia is much concerned
about the situation, as war between
France and Germany would greatly
embarrass her. Not only is the Rus
sian government so engrossed with
the interior situation as not to be in a
position to offer aid to her ally, but
war would end the possibility Of con.
tracing another loan in Paris, OF
which Russia is in urgent need

The following are a few thoughts
from Editor White of the Emporis
Kan. Gazette. So well put are bis
remarks that no room is left for criti-
cism or improvements:
The man who buys his goods of
a mail order house and expects his
neighbors in Emporia to buy goods
of him, or buy labor Of him, or to buy
professional service of him is eco
nomically a leech. He is sucking
Industrial blood out Of the town and
gives none back. He sends his pro-
its out of town like a Chinaman, and
mas no more right to a standing in
he community than a foreigner.
We are all neighbors industrially in
his town, and the man who sends a.
ray for his goods is not one of us.
