 Never Deserted Him - Master of Murderers Dies a Murderer's Death
{ Associated Press Dispatch)

SAN"oONN ~ ~'1'@ AZ
 OSSINING, July 30. - With the farewells to his family said, Charles Beck CT, former police lieutenant of New York City, was ready early today to die i'll the electric chair at Sing Sing prison for procuring the murder of Herman Ros- enthal, the gambler.
 Becker was affected great ly by the parting with his wife, who stood steadfastly by him until all hope was gone. He spent the early hours of the morning sit ting silently on the edge of his bunk in the cell of the death house.
 Mrs. Becker's last effort to save her husband was made yesterday when she appealed personally to Gov .ernor C. $. Whitman, who, las district attorney for New York City, had prosecuted the case against Becker, for Ia reprieve, so an appeal might be taken to the state court of appeals from the decision of Justice Ford.
 Missing the governor at Albany, Mrs. Becker met him at Poughkeepsie. Her appeal was fruitless, and the untiring wife hurried to Sing Sing to bid her hus- band farewell.
 Mrs. Becker was with her husband an hour, leav- ing the death house at 12:30 o'clock this morning. She left the prison at 1;15 for New York. outwardly dis playing no effects of the severe mental strain.
 John Becker, her brother in-law, and John Lynch, her brother, accompanied her.
 Becker yesterday prepar- ed for the carrying out of the sentence. His hair was cut, and he was shaved and given a suit of black clothes.
 Rev. w. E. Cashin, the lprison chaplain, and Rev. J.. B. Curry of New York were the spiritual advisers, and spent several hours with him. Father Curry gave the condemned man a marked Testament and a prayer book.
 A lengthy statement to Governor Whitman was given out by Becker late yesterday. In that screed Becker reiterated his inno- cence, and declared he never had offered to plead guilty to second degree murder.
 It was announced also that Becker had prepared a statement of a hundred words which was to be

Life is not merely to live, but to
live we'll, eat well, digest well, work

glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy 1t is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
iach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices Of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole Of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing. sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action OF hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume OF water from
the blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing OF all the inside
organs.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism !:
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on tie subject OF
internal sanitation.

KEOKUK HAS "a CHANCE

The proposal to locate a government
munition factory in Keokuk was CIV
en- a distinct boost today, it was felt
here, when Admiral George Dewey
made the statement for the Chicago
Herald that 1t would be wise to To-
cate all munition factories inland.
The admiral indorses the plan to To-
cate the factories between the Allie
ghany and the Rocky mountains
This is just what the Keokuk boost
ers have been advocating, an inland
plant, and that is one reason why
Keokuk is being boosted by them.
They believe that If congress will In
vestigate, no finer place for factory
can be found than here, where there
is an abundance Of electrical power
an iron, lead and zinc smelter, and a
waterway for transportation OF raw
material and finished product.
| General Crozier, head Of the ord
nance department. takes the same
stand as that Of Admiral Dewey. He
will ask for appropriations for foui
factories. It is understood that he
favors Rock Island, according to his
letter in the Herald, but it Is possible
that Keokuk's advantages will Offset
the Rock Island idea.
