To Be Hanged Tomorrcw.

On tomorrow, at what hour is not
known, Walter Rippey will pay the
penalty for the crime he committed in
February near Pocahontas.
The scaffold on which he is to be ex-
ecuted has been erected in the rear of
the courthouse and just east of the
Jail. 1t is inclosed with plank inclos-
ure, and a cloth covering will be placed
over the plank inclosure, so as to shut
from public view the gruesome sight
when the doomed man plunges to death.
On yesterday afternoon Rippey was
baptized by Rev. G. T. Wright, pastor
of the colored Methodist church. He
expresses willingness to die and belief
that his sins have been forgiven. His
mother visited him on yesterday for the
last time, and requested Sheriff Harman
to turn over her sons body to her after
he is pronounced dead.
We are glad that no more hangings
are to take place in this community or
in any other community of the State,
as the Legislature has provided for the
executions of all future criminals who
receive the death sentence by an cleo
trio chair at the'penitentiary.

individuality on legislation or to take a
prominent part in the consideration of

PENALTIES TOO HEAVY.
Supreme Court Pronounces Minnesota
and North Carolina Rate Laws
Invalid

Washington, March 23.-The su-
preme court denied the petition of At
torney General Young, of Minnesota, for
writ of habeas corpus in the case in
which he was held for contempt by the
federal court of Minnesota because he
refused to abide by an injunction issued
by that court forbidding him from taking
any action looking for the endorsements
of the maximum railroad rate law.
The court at same time pronounced
invalid the Minnesota law regulation
freight and passenger rates. The opin-
ion held the Minnesota law to be uncon-
stitutional on its face because of the
enormous penalties imposed for disobe-
dience to it.

Commission for Reform Currency Laws.

Commission for Reform Currency Laws
Washington, March "a. That proba-
bly, there will be a congressional COM
mission to consider currency reform
legislation, in order that congress NAV
be assisted in promoting the enactment
OF general currency law in the next
session of congress was made plain TODAY
at the close of Senator Lafollette's
speech in the senate.
The information was developed bv
an inquiry by Senator Beveridge. who
saying that he had been impressed with
what the senator from Wisconsin had
said about the need of an investigation
OF currecy matters, inquired of Senator
Aldrich what he thought of the wisdom
and expediency of appointing commits
sion to inquire during the coming recess
into the currecy needs of government
and the recent stringency with a view
of promoting legislation on the general
currency question.
Mr.. Aldrich said the present currency
bill made no pretense of embracing
banking reform and added that before
congress adjourns legislation would be
passed providing for a commission of
the house and senate with a view to a
general investigation which it was hoped
would result in the preparation of a
comprehensive bill.

Friends Had Announced His Recovery
when a Relapse Proved Fatal.

Friends HAD Announced his recovery
When a Relapse Proved Fatal.
Washington D. c. March 22.-United
States Senator William James Bryan,
of Florida, died at Providence Hospital
at $50 O'Clock this morning of typhoid
fever. 1t was only seventy-three days
since he took his seat as the successor
of the late Senator Stephen R. Mallory
who died December %, and thirty-three
days of that time were spent in his
fight ageinst disease. Several times
during Mr.. Bryan's illness his friends
despaired of his recovery, but as late as
night the report was given out that his
condition had taken turn for the better.
His death to-day, therefore, came as a
surprise and distinct shock.
Inphysique, Mr.. Bryan was untitled to
withstand protracted fever. He was
slight of build and of nervous temper
ament. He came to Washington early
in January from the warm climate of
Florida, and from the day of his arrival
was far from we'll. Finally he was COM
PEELED to give up, and was taken to
Providence Hospital. During the last
few days of his illness he was attended
by specialists from Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Hospital, Baltimore. In Mr..
Bryan the senate loses the seventh mem
ber by death since the adjournment of
the Fifty-ninth congress on March 4th
a year ago. They were the two late
Senators from Alabama, Mr.. Morgan
and Mr.. Pettus; Mr.. Mallory Of
Florida; Mr.. Latimer, of South Carolina; /;
Mr.. Proctor, of Vermont; Mr.. Whyte,
of Maryland, and Mr.. Bryan.
Curiously, the last two were the Oldest
and the youngest members of the body.
Mr.. Whyte was eighty-four years of
age and Mr.. Bryan less than thirty
two.

CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS
Have Been Prepared by SeCre-
tary of State Nichols.
Iwo Amend ents to Be Voted on at
Next Election n--Ono Gives Log
sins Roads Rishtto Condemn

Seattle, Wash, June 20.-Copies OF
the two constitutional amendments to
be submitted to the voters at the gen
eral election in November have been pre-
pared by Secretary of State Nichols and
will be sent out to the newspapers about
July /. They must be published 13
weeks in every county and the cost to
the state for advertising will be S347S.
1t will be seen from this that it costs
something TO submit Il constitutional
amendment. The amendments this time
are little longer than usual as the sec
retary of state, for the convenience Of
the voters, has included in the notice a
copy OF the original sections that will be
amended, in addition to the sections as
they will read after amendment.
One amendment, if adopted, will give
the logging roads the right to condemn
property for right Of-way purposes.
This amendment was submitted in the
election Of 1906 and was voted down.
The other amendment changes the
constitution relative to taxation so that
one class of property may be taxed in a
different proportion to another, or to
other classes. This amendment, If
adopted, will permit the legislature to
segregate state from local taxes and
carry out the plan to have the corpora
tions pay only a state tax and other
property pay only local taxes. 1t would
also permit the exemption OF moneys
and credits or the placing OF very
small levy on moneys in banks.
Nearly every candidate for nomination
under the direct primary law desires to
have his name appear on the official pri-
mary ballot first under the heading Of
the office to which be aspires.

"H0LE IN THE GROUND"
Commissioners Plan to Regrade
East Side Bridge Too Costly,

Commissioners Plan to Regrade
East Side-- Bridge Too Costly.
County Commissioners Mccoy and
Ellis and County Surveyor Murray re-
turned from the Hole in the Ground, -
near Rock Lake, Monday, where they
had been investigating the feasibility Of
bridging the "hOle," az petitiOned for
by the citizens of that neighborhood.
The commissioners decided that it was
not possible to build bridge at this
time, the cost being too great. 1t wou d
neceesitate building a structure 75 feet
high and 400 feet long. The commits
sloners, however. have under cOnsidera
tiOn the plan of regarding the east side
OF the "hOle" to conform to seven per
cent grade, provided right of-way viii
be donated. This will probably be done
The east side is where the haul takes
place, as wheat going to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road seeking tide
water has to pull up the east side But
little heavy hauling takes place on the
west side. 1t will take over $4,000 to
complete the proposed grade. This i'm
prOvement will accommodate many
wheat growers living in Whitman and
Spokane counties.
The Hole" is freak in nature. The
earth drops 200 feet or more, the eight
seer suddenly finding himself standing
on rim looking down perpendicular
cliffs 1t rises in benches q considerable
distance above, but the "hole" proper
is where the trouble begins. 1t is not
far from Rock Lake, a region full Of
caves and wonderful rock formations
The Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul
passes here, and when it gets to running
Rock Lake and the "hole" will be one Of
the attractions.
