Naessens in 1893, | St. Louis, Feb. 20.—-Mismanage- | ment, IncOmpetency and torture of- ficiated at the hanging of James Fitzerald in the Four Courts jail yard this morning. Two reprieves had Jengthened out the misery of the condemned. At 12 o'clock, mid night, Governor Stone telegraphed from Jefferson City that the hang- ing should not take place before 10 a.m. This gave every one but Fitz- gerald hope of commutation, as the parents of the murdered girl had wired strong pleas to the governor for the condemned. Father McEr- lane labored assiduously to comfort his charge, but Fitzgerald was ue) different. The 200 spectators in the | jail yard were far more impressed than he as they counted the minutes of life that still remained for him. When the tower clock struck ten Sheriff Troll still hesitated. At this moment the sheriff receiv- ed the following telegram: “Feb. 29, 9:40—Henry Troll, sheriff. I decline to further interfere in the case of James Fitzgerald. You can therefore, only discharge your duty. W. J. Sronu, Gov. Then the solemn procession from the condemned man’s cell began.

Once the man pulled bosses have pains. the priest’s head to his face and ing McKinley toward the Republican Carlisle’s Manliness. A few days ago several of Senator Blackburn’s friends in the Kentucky Legislature wired Secretary Carlisle asking him to request and urge the gold standard Democrats to vote for Blackburn for Senator. The follow- ing is his reply published yesterday: “Treasury Department, Office of Secretary, Washington, D. C., Feb. 17, 1896.—Gentlemen: Your tele- gram, in which you appeal to me ‘to request and urge the five Democratic members of the General Asssembly | ; who are not supporting nominee to | join with us (you) in voting for him,’ Republican State | was duly received and has been giv We enjoy help-|enthe careful consideration which whispered earnestly for half a min jate as elsewhere this fact should be ute. What that communication was will never be known, but the face of the priest, then ashy pale, turned scarlet and tears fell from his eyes. At 10:30 the messenger arrived with a new rope which was quickly adjusted and Fitzgerald was carried to the scaffold. It was necessary for two deputy sheriffs to hold him up while the noose was placed. Fitz- gerald’s only words were pleas for haste. At 11:10 a.m. the trap was again sprung. At 11:15 the attend- ing physicians pronounced life ex- tinct and the corpse was given to relatives. To says that the com. munity is indignant at the sheriff and his assistants is putting it mild- ly. Sheriff Troll says all the usual tests were applied to the death ap- paratus before the hanging, and that the terrible scene at the first attempt was wholly due to some defect in the rope that could not be forseen. Why it Supports McKinley. “Why does The Republic,” writes a Democratic voter of 40 years stand- ing, “interest itself in McKinley?” Because he is the man whom the Democratic candidate can most sure ly beat. Because he is the logical candi- date of the Republican party. Because he represents the issue upon which the two parties are dis- tinetly divided. Because his candidacy would bring up for comparison the most import- ant affirmative measure passed by| the Fifty-tirst Congress and the most | important affirmative measure pass-| 8 ¢ ed by the Fifty-third Congress. By these two measures the effect of) Democratic government upon the country can be weighed against the | ar. : effect of Republican government. Both have been tested by experience. Under one the business of the coun-| try went to disaster; under the other | it has revived. | Because he is the only prominent nomination none the less for the worriment it produces in the inner | and confidential circles of the Re- publican party. McKinley ought, in all fairness, to | be nominated at St. Louis. With the stalwart, prejudiced, radical two- | thirds of the Republican party he is the favorite. rule. With the moderate, educated liberal one third he is so unpopular | that his name excites contempt and disgust instead of enthusiasm. From the viewpoint of the Repub- lican party, he deseryes the nomina- tion, being the preference of a ma- jority. Democrats prefer his nomi- nation, rating him as the Republican who cannot possibly do more than command the vote which would be surely Republican anyhow. McKunley’s nomination would give Democrats a Republican party trim- | med just to suit them. The Republic will continue to work utiringly for McKialy until the St. Louis Convention closes its bal- lots.—Republic.

When he is spoken of in a scurrilous manner, the great office that he holds is treated with with contempt. It is possible to criticise his official proceedings in suiliciently severe terms without re-| sorting to blackguardism aud inde- cent personal abuse; and in the Sen- enforced as a rule of conduct. There is entirely too much loose expectoration of speech in this coun- try with regard to men who are chosen to manage the affairs of the Government. All public officers are | human and they make mistakes but | it does not follow that they should be venomously condemned and de- rided because they fail from time to time in their efforts to please the} country. It is right to point out their errors and call them to account for their derelictions, but it is not right to empty buckets of filth upon them. This is particularly true? as to those who occupy exalted stations of special importance to the outside world. When these conspicuous of- ficials are yilified in an extravagant and vulgar way, their offices are discredited and the good name of the Government is aspersed There must be criticism, of course, and it is advantageous tothe country when properly framed and directed; but no benefit is ever derived from wild and wanton personal abuse. The people do not indorse the low and scandalous antics of a man like Till- man. Whatever they may think of the public acts of those whom he selects as targets for his arrows of detraction, they do not favor that method of political warfare, and do not entertain any better feeling to ward the many who employs it than that of unqualified disgust.—Globe Democrat. A Great Book Free! When Dr. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., published the first edition of his great work, The People’s Com- mon Sense Medical Adviser, he an nounced that after 680,000 copies had been sold at the regular price, 31.50 per copy, the profit on which would repay him for the great amount of labor and money expend ed in producing it, he would distrib. ute the next half million free. As this number of copies has already been sold, he is now giving away, absolutely free. 50,000 copies of this most complete, interesting and valu able common sense medical work ever published—the recipient only being required to mail to him, at above address, twenty on (21) one- cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing | could be changed by my interference, \ner that they could be induced to | act contrary to such convictions by | advice which they have not solicited. “Having heretofore tendered no ; advice or made any suggestion, di- | rectly or indirectly, to any member of the General Assembly on either | side of the unfortunate controversy |now existing, I must respectfully decline to do 80, now or hereafter. “It may not be considered inap- propriate in this brief response to your appeal to assure you that I will at all times cheerfully co-operate in any proper manner with you and all others in any effort that may be) made to unite all our friends in sup | porting the Democratic organization | m Kentucky and in maintaining! sound Democratic principles and policies, as declared by the consti tuted authorities of the party, State and national, and to reneat what has been said to all who have cared to ascertain my views upon the subject —that I sincerely desire to see the present General Assembly elect to! the Senate of the United States a!

A young lady is awfully green that will hang around a store where her “feller” is at work or clerking, and a young man is equally so that hangs aroung the place where his “gal” is employed.

In fact, the secret of good health is good cooking. If well cooked, foods are partially digested; if poorly cooked, they are less digest- ible than in their raw state. If you area victim of faulty cooking; that is if you suffer from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked tor in an artificially digested food, anda food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other foods. Such a preparation virtually rests the tired digestive organs, thereby restoring them to their natural strength.
