THE DEATH PENALTY.
horrors Incidental to Old Time Exc.
 cution by Drowning.

Execution by drowning was abol ished in France by Henri Quatre. only to be revived by one of his successors It was finally abolished as statutory method of execution by the earliest de cree of the great revolutionaries
 As late as the eighteenth century death by drowning was decreed to a fclon in Edinburgh and in the middle ages 1t was common enough mode of doing convicted criminal to death That execution of this nature was con sidered as humane as any other, so far as the victim was concerned is shown by the fact that it was not unknown among the early Jews. who varied tho punishment of Stoning adultcresses by drowning them. Among the Egyptians it was common. The Roman lex GOT nela sanctioned the method by placing 1t on the statute records. Tacltus tell. us that the Germans copied the prac tlce from tue Romans. The Tcuton termed it the Hast baptism." and he did not allow his powers of imag gina ton to sleep when he set about de yising additional varieties which should add to tho excitement attend. ing upon the doomed persons dcpar. lure from life. The convict was sewe6 up. Monte Cristo fashion. in q bag, and with him were incloScd a vicious dog hungry cat, a violent rooster. a ven. omous viper. all very much alive anG presumably kicking.
 For what reason it is hard to see but death hy drowning was by many peoples considered preferable for crim iral women. In the case of very de Romans had more or less pleasant fashion of drowning the doomed ones In marshes, first messing them in elaborate crates.
 For refined cruelty in killing of thelI female criminals the earlier Albanians were certainly the most inventive in the matter of ingenuity. It is com monly kpown. If cCurse. that even the modern Albanian has less respect foI womankird than any other known male in the human catalogue. not even ex- cluding the Chinese. The approved method of doing a criminal or even q displeasing woman to death prevalent among them up to rather less than a century ago was to chain her in tank into which the water was allowed to dow gradually. AS the water reached her breast 1t was allowed to recede, sometimes back to her ankles, when the refllling of the tank began anew If the woman had children the torture was varied by the drowning or mutila- tion of them before her eyes. To vari ous parts of her body was attached such food as attracts rats. of which a number would be let loose.New York World.

YOUNG NEGRO GIRL FOUND GUILTY
 IF LARCENY
FORMER SERVANT OF G. H. SNAIL LEY OFFERS WEAK DEFENSE
 AGAINST CHARGES

Viola Smith, young colored girl, priated several articles from the home of George H. Smalley, where she was formerly employed, was found guilty of petty larceny in Judge Hinson Thomas court yesterday.
 The Smith girl worked for the Smal- leys for some time. Some of her ac- tions indicated that her standard of morals was not of the highest and as a result she was discharged, about a month ago.
 She was permitted to remain, where she had been rooming, in an unoeeupled house belonging to Mir, Smalley, for few days, and before she left, Mrs. Smalley noticed some articles belong ing to her in the girl room. An in vestigation disclosed the fact that numerous belongings of Mrs. Smalley were secreted about the room.
 Shirt waists, skirts, laees, Mexican drawn work, silverware and other ar ticles were found in the room, much of ihe loot being secreted beneath mat tress.
 unearthing so many missing articles, Mrs. Smalley took an inventory of her effects 10 determine what else was miss ing. A number of articles could not be found, including a handsome ring.
 Questioned as to the ring, the girl refused to admit that she had stolen it. Mrs. Smalley agreed not to prose cute the Smith girl for more than pet ty larceny, if the ring was returned, but she would not admit that she knew anything about it's whereabouts.
 A few days ago, however, Mrs. Smal ley found the ring on her dresser. How it came there. no one seemed to know.
 In court, the girl made little or no defense. Proof was strong against her, however, and she was found guilty.
 The passing of sentence was post poned until today.

SALT LAKE FILLED WITH VEIE RAINS
 AND FRIENDS
OPENING DAY or ENCAMPMENT FINDS 30,000 GUESTS IN

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, August 9. The first day of the forty third ma tional encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic found 30,0o0 veterans and visitors duartered i" the citv with prospects of having the number in. <. ca, ed 70 ot,U0u.
 Of the fourteen past commanders-in- chief now living, five are in attendance at the present reunion. They are Gen. erals s. $. Burdett, Washington, D. C.; Eli Torrance, Minneapolis; John R.. King, Baltimore; Corporal James Tan ner Washington, D. C.; and General Charles G. Burton, Nevada, Mo.
 reception in honor of Commander in- Chief Nevius and officers of his staff was given by the Woman $ Relief corps tonight in the rooms of the Commercial club. Three thousand guests were pres. ent. In the receiving line, besides Com mander-in- Chief Nevius, were Governor and Mrs. Spry, and Mayor Brandsfort and wife.
 At the armory and assembly hall were held camp fires which were ad- dressed by Commander-in-C Chief Nevius, Senior Vice Commander !. F.. Kent Hamilton of Hamilton, Ohio; Past Com mander-in- Chiefs Burton and Terrence; 1; Mrs. Mary was Gilman, national pres ident of the Women s Relief corps, and Genevieve Longfed Lane, national president of the ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 The political side of the encampment was made prominent through the open ing of headquarters by rival claimants of coming honors.
 Indications are that the fight be- tween St. Louis and Atlantic City for the next encampment will be warmly contested.
 For commander in chief, former Gov ernor Van Sant of Minnesota, and w. L. Ketcham of Indiana, continue to be active candidates. Friends of l.. T. Diekerson of Illinois, urged him to seek the coveted honor, but he declined.
 The outdoor spectacle for the evening parade of the Wizard of Wasatch and his wards was prevented by heavy rainstorm which burst over the city just as the procession was forming.
 Within half an hour the downpour ceased, but the decoratons had suffered serous damage.

HOUSE IF LORDS AGREE ON
 TARIFF

LONDON, August 9.-The vexed question as to whether the house of lords would interfere with the budget, which action the radicals declare wou'd be unconstitutional, appears 10 be set tied by the pronouncement of Lord Lansdowne. leader of the opposition in the house of lords, tonight, declaring his belief that the working classes de- sired tariff reforms and not the tax ation of capital and appropriation of property. Lord Lansdowne says the house of commons may no longer rep- resent the will of the people.
 ''The house of lords,' he declared, recognizes that the will of the people must prevail, but demands that the peo- pie of the country be given sufficient opportunity to express that will with full knowledge of the subject.

NO FEDERAL AID
Sioux River Reservoirs Must BE- Built
by State or individual

Sioux Falls-During the past few
years several unsuccessful attempts
nave been made to induce the govern
ment to make an appropriation in
the river and harbor bill for the i'm
rroveinent Of the Sioux River, the
plan being to construct dams which
in the spring of the year would con-
vert the surplus water af the Sioux
into big reservoir at Lakes Pelican
and Ea,npeska. Cities and towns
along the Sioux have hoped this i'm
proveinent would be made as it would
establish never failing water sur
Ply the year around. But a special
from Washington would indicate that
IL anything is to be done in this di-
rection it will have to be done by the
state and not by the national govern
ment. The wise fathers down at
Washington took the view that the
Sioux is not navigable stream and
consequently they are not permitted
to make an appropriation. The
Washington special board reads as
follows:
THE board of army engineers has
filed report with congress concur
ring in the opinion of Capt. Edwin T.
Schulz that the Big Sioux River is not
worthy of improvement by the gem
eral government. In writing the de-
SiSioii VI Tic bodTu 1Oi. hnlSnt says.
while it appears possible to de-
velop water power at number OF
points on the river, it is the opinion
of the board that the work necessary
for this purpose could not be co-or-
dained with improvements of the
stream for navigation so as to pro-
duce resulting benefits commensurate
with the cost"
Capt. Schulz. in his preliminary in
vestisation of the Big Sioux as au-
thorized by congress at the last ses-
sion found navigation of the river
above Westfield practically imposs-
ible, and that there was no water
commerce on any part of the stream
He reported the project to dam Lake
Poinsett could develop 5000 horse
power worth about $500, 900 annually
to towns along the rivr. but that the
cost of suitable locks and dams to
make the river navigable would not
be commensurate to the demands of
commerce He therefore recon-
mended that no further survey be
made of the river with the view to
its Improvement.
This recommendation is approved
by the board of engineers, and is be-
! lieved to decide the fate of the Big
Sioux as a navigable stream, at least
| for many years.
