ONT UT AO The Czar Has Telegraphed His Re- Death in Salt Lake City. fusal to Alexieff’s Application cago for Crime Unequal- | sais take city, Apri 23 —Frank for Relief. Rose, the wife murderer, was shot to death in the yard of the state peni- tentiary here at 10:00 o’clock this morning. Death was instantaneous. Four bullets lodged in or very close to his heart. Rose was strapped to the same lit- tle wooden chair in which Peter Mor- tensen met his fate a fewmonthsago, Five prison guards, concealed behind a heavy blue curtain in the doorway of the blacksmith shop across the area, formed the firing squad. One of the rifles held a-blank cartridge. Rose went to his death chair with the same coolness that had marked hie conduct since he surrendered to the police, Rose had confessed this morning to ten other murders. He declared he had spent the last fourteen years in committing crimes, varying from robbery to murder. Robbery was his first crime, according to his story. From that he had launched into mur- ders of every description, and related instances where he had killed men for a little money. He said he had com- mitted a murder in San Francisco, where he quarreled with a compan ion who was working with him upon the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe terminals, In St. Louis, according to Rose’s confession, he was guilty of several crimes, includiag murder. Thereis some doubt at the peniten: tiary about the truth of Rose’s con- fession, but he had furnished names and dates and other details to such a degree that his story had gained general credence with the prison offi- clals, Rose’s last crime was peculiarly atrocious and cold blooded in thatit almost resulted in the death’ of his two year-old son from starvation and cold. Rose shot his wife Chriet- mas day while she was lying in bed. He sat and talked with her until she died of the wound, then went away, leaving his boy in bed with the body. Rose says he returned four times in the next two days to feed the child. Then he went to police headquarters and gave himeelfup. Rose never expressed any sorrow for hie deed and asserted a firm belie that it all was predestined. ed in City's History, THE THREE KILLED 8 MEN. Neidermeier Refused Consola- * tion to Last and Spent Night Joking. Chicago, April 22.—Peter Neider- meier, Gustave Marx and Harvey Vandine, the car barn bandite, were hanged this morning. The three men were executed sep- arately, Neidermeier being the first to mount the gallows. Up to the last he refused religious consolation and would not read the Bible that was put at his disposal. Veak and emaciated from the result his double attempt at suicide, he borne to the gallows by the pards of the jail. 'Refusing’to stand up to have the ckcap and noose adjusted, he was Meated on a chair over the trap,and while in this position the lever was pulled, hurling him to his death. He died of strangulation. Assoon as he was pronounced dead Marx was brought from the cell in which he spent the night. He was in his buttonhole and was attended by two priests, whose prayers he re- peated in a strong voice. He was still praying when the drop fell. Death resulted in six minutes. The body of Marx having been placed in the casket, Harvey Van- dine, the last of the bandits, came from the jail to meet his fste, accom- panted by priests, as was Marx. Be- Tore leaving for the execution Van- dine passed his photographs, with his signature on them to the jail guardsand a number of the prisoners in the same alley as his cell was lo- cated. He walked with a firm step to the scaffold and quietly permitted the hangman te adjust the straps. Like Marx, he murmured the prayers of the priests and fell while praying. It has been decided the bodies of the dead men will be left at the un- dort: ker's until Monday that the people may gratify themselves by looking at the bodies. As the fam- ities of Neidermeier and Marx are des- titute, it is said admission will be charged to view the remains of the dead men in order to meet the burial expenses. Supreme Justice is on the: Stand. Washington, April 23.—Judge 0 W. Powers, who was appointed by Cleveland in 1885 as associate justice of the supreme court, was the first witness in the Smoot hearing this morning. The prosecutions under WANTS GOOD WEWS FROM HIM. 4 Gentle Hint for the Viceroy to Get Busy —Complete Confidence Prevails at Port Arthar That a Japanese Attack Can Be Successfully Resisted—City lo Darkness at Night. St. Petersburg, April 25.—tI is said that the emperor, replying to Viceroy Alexieff’s application for leave, has telegraphed his refusal, adding that he hoped the viceroy would be able to send good news soon. The Associated press is enabled to announce authoritatively that the talk of mediation in the Russo-Japanese war was founded upon the personal de- sires of King Edward and King Chris- tian of Denmark to avoid further blood- shed and end the conflict, but that the steps initiated have utterly failed. The emperor, with the full concurrence of the imperial family, and his advisers has firmly decided not only to reject all proposals looking to intervention but to prosecute the war with all the sources of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms. Port Arthur Supplied fora Year, Port Arthur, April 25.—All week points on both the land and sea sides have been so strengthened in the last two months that the impregnability of Port Arthur is now regarded as abso- lutely assured. The garrison has been considerably strengthened and _ the forts are provided with all necessities for more than a year. Complete con- fidence prevails with the troops, sail- ors and inhabitants in the ability of the Russians to defeat any Japanese attack. Remarkable indifference to the posst- bility of attack is shown by the peo- ple. In fact, by day there is little to indicate that the town is in a state of siege. The band plays on the boule- vard, on which parades are held, finely dressed people stroll about and groups of children piay. Restaurants and shops are well patronized by customers all day long. At night, however, the city is in profound darkness, which is emphasized by the searchlights flash- ing across the roadstead, The entrance of the harbor, although studded with nine Japanese wrecks, remains perfect- ly free. The foundering of the Petropavlovsk is regarded as a tragic mischance with- out influence on the course of the cam- paign or preventing the Russian fleet from still achieving byilliant results. At each successive bombardment, which experience shows recurs approx- imately fortnightly, the Japanese fire becomes less vigorous. Their ships re- main out of range of the batteries and evidently they do not intend to be drawn into battle. The Chicago Daily News’ dispatch boat, flying the British flag, which was boarded and detained by Russian offi- cers off Port Arthur on Friday last, has been liberated on the condition that she will not again approach these coasts.

New York, April 25.—The Central Cable office of the Western Union com- pany is advised by the Shanghai rail- way administration at Tien Tsin that Letter to Gough & Hess, the Edmunds act were just beginning | telegrams to New Chwang are not ac- ! cepted in code.

All but two or three of the convic tions were for pelygamous cohabita tion, the difficulty in proving polyg amous marriages explaining the few convictions for polygamy. Lorenzo Snow, then one of the twelve apostles, was among those convicted before Judge Powers and was sentenced to the penitentiary. He was afterward elected president of the Mormon church. Edelin, Grafton, W. Va., had n selling a paint, which they thought well of; and this had occurred: They had sold a customer 18 gal- lons of it to paint his house. A few years later, they sold the same man Devoe lead-and-zinc, the same num- ber of gallons to paint the same house. He bad 7 gallons left. The point of the tale is: 11 gallons Devoe paints an 18-gallon house. Of course, that isn’t all. Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as far as 18 gallons of other paint? Be- causeitis all paint, all true, nosham, and full measure. But that isn’t-all. Devoe lasts longer. No, no; you haven’t got to waltten years to find that out. Ten thousand people know it.

Budapest, April 26.—A serious riot is reported to have taken place at the market town of Elesd, near Gross- wardein, resulting from a collision be- tween meetings of the socialist and in- dependent parties. While order was being restored by the gendarmerie, a socialist fired a revolver, killing the commander, The gendarmes thereup- on fired a volley, killing 23 of the riot- ers and sever@ly wounding 40.

W. | Powers was on the stand again at the | Smoot investigation before the senate committee on privileges and elections Monday and Attorney VanCott resumed cross-examination. He questioned the | Witness in regard to Mormon interest in educational affairs. Judge Powers praised the people highly for their ap- plication to trades, professions, art and the sciences. Mining schools and other Scientific institutions were praised by the witness, who said that Mormon schools easily rank with the best insti- tutions of learning in the country. In regard to the disinclination of Mormons to inform on polygamists, Judge Powers said that no person likes to be called or considered an informer, Reference was made to the attitude of democrats who were Gentiles in nomi- nating Brigham H. Roberts, a Mormon, for congress. “Well,” said Mr. Powers, “we thought Roberts was going to be the Moses who would lead us out of our political difficulties. We thought he would take us away from church domination in politics,” While Judge Powers commended much of the edu- cational policy in Utah, he said the ad- mirable system was inaugurated be- fore statehood. In answer to a question by Senator Bailey the witness said he understood that in some sections the public schools were dismissed early for religious instruction. The Mormons found much to complain of in regard to that, said the witness. Mr. Cullom said that 30 important treaties had been proclaimed in the pe- riod under consideration and that the reciprocity arrangements entered into under the Dingley act had in every in- stance materially increased our com- merce with the countries affected, with- out in the least interfering with any American industry. He paid a high compliment to the consular service, saying that one officer alone had in- creased the receipts from customs by preventing frauds nearly $1,000,000 a year since 1898, GOULD’S AUTO WRECKED. Four Men Took the 40-Horsae Power Ma- chine Out for a Trial and Could Not Manage It. New York, April 25.—Edwin Gould's new 40-horse power automobile was wrecked, and four men, one of them T. Antonio Isabelle, probably fatally in- jured in a collision between the auto- mobile and a pile of building material on Seventh avenue. The injured men are chaffeurs employed in an automo- bile warehouse, The four men took out Mr. Gould’s new automobile to give it a trial. They were returning on Seventh avenue when they saw two lights in front of a new building. Thinking the lights were posted for an excavation in the street, the chaffeur turned toward the sidewalk to run around the supposed opening. The ma- chine crashed with great force into a huge pile of building material, the auto- mobile was overturned, Isabelle was thrown out, striking on his head, and the others were pinned underneath the machine. One Dead, One Fatally Hurt. Trenton, N. J., April 25.—George Holcombe, a well-known Trenton news- paper. man, died Monday and Capt. E. Y. Breese, of the Second regiment, New Jersey national guard, is still uncon- scious as a result of an automobile ac- cident which occurred about midnight. Breese, who was driving, lost control of the machine by reason of a break in the machinery. The automobile ran into a ditch near the state hospital for the insane. Holcombe and Breese who were on the front seat, were thrown out on their heads and both sustained concussions of the brain. Breese’s recovery is a matter of consid- erable doubt as he may be injured in ternally, Trying to Force Barton Gut. Washington, April 25.—Gov. Bailey will be here from Kansas this week to visit Senator Long. It is said he will urge the senate to declare Senator Burton’s seat vacant before adjourn- ment of the present session so that he may have the privilege of naming a successor. It is understood that he expects to have the president’s co- operation to secure such action. Taft to Represent Roosevelt. Washington, April 25.—Secretary of War Taft has gone to St. Louis to represent the president at the opening ceremonies of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. At Cincinnati Secretary Taft will be joined by Lieut. Gen. Chaf- fee. The secretary and party will be es- corted to St. Louis by the commercial club of Cincinnati. Temporary Victory for Militia. Denver, Col., April 25.—The state stipreme court denied the motion for CHRONIC SORES Signs of Polluted Blood. There is nothing so repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore. You worry over it till the brain grows and work with it until the patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate. A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im- pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate non-healing sores of the most offensive character. Often an inherited taint breaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs or face in old age or middle life, Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and thedeadly germsand poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S, thiscan be accomplished—the polluted blood is purified and invigorated, and when rich, pure blood is again circulating freely throughout the body the flesh around the old sore begins to take on a natural color, the discharge of matter ceases and the place heals ovét. S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health, If you have a chronic sore write us, No charge for medical advice.
