A meeting of populists was held last even- Ing at Liberty hall for the purpose of mak- Ing a formal protest against the issuance of $500,000,000 worth of bonds, as has been pro- posed, to supply the needs of the government for ready eash. L. Kinnehan presided over the meeting, and about fifty citizens were pres- ent. A lengthy series of resolutions em- bodying the protest was read and passed without a dissenting vote. A copy of the resolutions was then circulated through the audlence and signed by nearly all present. The protest will b2 sent to President Cleve- land, with whom it will doubtless have the desired effect. Before the meeting adjourned Rev. George Miller made a few remarks and read a letter from L. R.

The benefit to be derived from a good medi- cine in early spring is undoubted, but many people neglect taking any until the approach of warmer weather, when they wilt like a tender flower in the hot sun. Something must be done to purlfy the blood, overcome that tired feeling and give necessary strength. Vacation Is earnestly longed for, but many weeks, perhaps months, must elapse before rest can be indulged in. To jmpart strength, throughout the system, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems perfectly adapted to overcome that prostration caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the system it purifies and renovates the blood. e ATTORNEY ERWIN ARSENT. His Long Bout with Blixt Exhausted the Counset for the Prosecution, MINNEAPOLIS, Feb, 8.—Mr, Erwin was not present when the Hayward trial was resumed this ‘morning, and it was inferred that his long bout with Blixt in the cross- examination had exhausted him. The cross- examination of the assistant janitor, Charles Anderson, devolved upon John Day Smith, who brought lout nothing of importance. Frank Tucker, the elevator boy at the Ozark flats, testified in further corroboration of Blixt as to the long talks the janitor was accustomed to have with Hayward in the basement of the Ozark, and especially as to the conference the two had on the day of the murder. Frank McCormick, a barkeeper, testified to selling Harry Hayward, on the day of the murder, a flask of whisky like the one Blixt says Harry gave him, John Kennedy, a flagman, corroborated Blixt's testimony as to his visit to the station on the night of the murder. The state called 8. E. Hance to further corroborate the whisky purchase, but Mr. Erwin said Harry would admit the purchase on the stand. This was the first intimation that Harry Hayward would him- self go on the stand. The state is putting in a very complete case, corroborating so far as possible every minor point in Blixt's testimony, and the chain of evidence being woven about Harry Hayward grows more complete with every hour. Even the place, hour and day of Hayward's purchase of that half pint bottlo of whisky, presumably to furnish Blixt with nerve to do his murderous work, was shown. This afternoon J. W. Witherspoon, elevator man at the Oneida bullding, corroborated Blixt's story of how Miss Ging signed the $7,000 note to Hayward in his office, and how he and Blixt witnessed the signature. Then Harry Spencer, a walter, told how Harry Hayward and Miss Ging came to the restau- rant, saying: *I went to get their orders. I noticed a roll of money. Hayward sald to me: ‘Don't you think it's foolish fora young woman to show so much—$§2,000?" 1 coin- cided with him." Louise Ireland, niece of Miss Ging, testi- fled that Hayward was in Miss Ging’s room nearly every night, but his conduct was per- fectly proper. She had not noticed her aunt have much money just before the murder. -~ Price's Cream Baking Powder gives abso- lute certainty of success to cooks.

Cumberiand Ehds His Life on the Gallows for the Killing of James and Jasper Robertson Over Five Years Ago., FORT MADISON, Ia, Feb. 8.—(Special Telegram.)—The execution of Jacob K. Cumberland for the murder of James Robertson and son of Shelby county took place today. His neck was broken. When asked on the scaffold if he had any- thing to say Cumberland answered: “I have been unjustly dealt with. I was promised it T confessed I would get a life sentence.” This was a false statement on the gallows, as the fact Is the judge told Cumberland that it he would furnish evidence implicating others he would speak In his behalf. Cumberland up to 11 o'clock held tena- clously to the hope that Judge Deemer of the supreme court would intercede for him, as he was tried before Deemer as district Judge. At that hour he gave up all hope and entered into a fervent conference for religious consolation with Rev. W. C. Gunn, to whom he confessed to having killed the two Robertsons, though it is understood he did not reveal his motive, Chaplain Gunn then read Psalm xxiil and Matthew vl Cumberland did not join in prayer and re- fused to ask forgiveness for his enemies. He bowed his head reverently and seemed to subscribe to all cther religious cere- monies. CLAIMED HE WAS DRUNK. He claimed the Shelby county authorities extorted a confession from bim under promise of commuting his sentence to life imprison- ment and violated their covenant, He also tried to entangle his wife in this crime. Just before going to the scaffold he reluctantly forgave them, however, having somewhat weakened, The death warrant was read at 1:30. Ho listened in silence. He be- queathed his body to his sister, Mrs. Boomer, of Lexington, Mo. His wife, daughter and sister arrived last night. He gave a lead pencil, his only possession, to his daughter. Cumberland’s crime was particularly revolt- ing because of the character of his victims. James and Jasper Robertson, father and son, were two as {noffensive men as the community contained, and their willful and maliclous murder placed the perpetrator of it beyond the pale of human sympathy. James and Jasper Robertson disappeared from thelr home some time about September 27, 1889, Previous to this time they had disposed of their home and other be- longings and had announced their determina- tion of removing to the farther west. Hence, when their absence was notleed, it was taken for granted they had-g-ne without any further or formal announcerheht.” About three weeks later Cumberland also disappeared, no atten- tion being given to® hfs ‘departure. No sus- picion of their murder was aroused until early in 1890, when R. P." Fosé, who was the Rob- ertsons’ attorney, and into whose hands some money came when they, sold their little home in north Harlan, began to make inquiry. He wrote to relatives in Montgcmery county, and finally to a son of James Robertson in Wyo- ming, and in both Jhstarces received a reply to the effect that tha'men had not been with them, nor was anything known of their where- abouts, Then the machinery of the law was set in motion, and Cumberland, upon whom sus- picion at once fell, was arrested at Springfield, Mo., in May, 1891, and; with his wife and child lodged In jail soon after. - SEARCH FOR THE BODIES, Search for the bodiés ef the missing men was at otice’ Instituted; but without avail, and It was thought at one timé’ that the prisoners would have to be sét free, because no evi- dence could be cbtained that would warrant an indictment. Then the officers of the law began to play upon the fears of the Cumber- lands; the wife was removed to the jail at Avoca; threats of lynching were brought to the ears of the man, and finally, in an ex- amination before the grand jury, the fatal admission was wrung from the wife, “that she was in uo danger, as her husband had made a statement in ‘black and white that would exonerate her.” An order for the ex- amination of the effects of Cumberland was issued by the court and carried Into effect by the officers. This search resulted In the dis- covery of “the statement in black and white,” concealed in the Inner pocket of a shirt worn by Cumberland, who fought like a demon to prevent its being taken from him, The paper proved to be a detalled statement of the crime and a full acknowledgment of the same, After the written confession was secured Cumberland lost his nerve and brcke down entirely, being seemingly anxious to assist the officers in locating the bodies of his vic- tims. This work was tedious, and not re- warded with success until Friday, September 25, some three days after the confession was obtained. The bodies were then fcund at a spot, described by the actused, on the banks of the Botna, near the public road, within a few hundred yards from the place they were killed. On November 5, 1801, Cumberland was ar- raigned and plead guilty to murder in manner sentenced to be hanged, the date fixed for the carrying out of that sentence being February 10, 1893. Then began a battle rcyal on the part of the condemned man's attorneys, Messrs, Byers and Leckwood, to save him from the hangman's noose. And, Inasmuch as they were actuated by no hope of receiving pe- cunlary reward, their conduct of the case from the beginning until the supreme court overruled their motion for a rehearing, cannot but challenge the admiration of all who ad- mire plutk. When the supreme court dzc'ded not to in- terfere In-behalf of Cumberland it was said that Governor Jackson would refuse to fix a at rest Wednesday of last week, when the governor affixed his name to the death war- rant, It s sald that the governor only reached Cumberland’s previous record and having sat- isfled himself that Cumberland had been un- killing of his own son, This murder occurred in Kansas, ‘n 1882, and had not the pardon- have been told, 1mpeachment Proceedings Postponed.

Read-George Nicolal 100-live pigeon shoot came off vesterday afternoon on the Bemis Park Gun club grounds across the river, in the presence of 500 spec- tators. The match was for $100 a sid 100 birds to each man, thirty yards ris fifty yards boundary, American association rules, Mr. Read shot a 12-guage Greener, §ls drahms of B, C. powder, 1% ounces of shot, while Mr. Nicolal shot a 12-guage L. C. 'Smith, same charge. Ted Ackerman, the well known sportsman of Stanton, atted us ret- eree, while Guesie Spiece of Columbus offi- clated as trap puller, and Billy Brewer as official scorer. The birds, while an ordinary good lot, were easy, Mr. Read bagging elghteen out of his first block of twenty-five, and Mr. Nicolal twenty. Thig gave the Sutton con tingent a vast renewal of courage and th staked their simoleons like drunken sailo The day was perfect, barring the intense cold; not a breath of air was stirring, and everything combined to the advantage of the contestants. Notwithstanding this fact, the Omaha man shot like a_shoemaker, Kill: ing his hard birds and golng all wrong on the incomers and the birds that should have besn killed with a base ball bat. The con- sequence was that the agriculturists carried away a nice little bunch of metropolitan coin. Nicolal was as cool and collected as an_iceberg, while the plumber was restive and nervous, and at no stage of the race Qid himself credit, The result was the local man was not able to get_at_himself until his chances were rated at about twenty to one. In the second block of twenty-five the bo from the sand hills did himself proud by grassing twenty-two out of his twenty-five birds, while the man with the lead :mv predilections only got down fifteen. This made the match a cinch, and the Nicolal followers were jubilant in the extreme. In the third block Read recouped a trifie by Killing twenty-two to the Sutton —man's twenty, and this he repeated in the last block of twenty-five, but it was too late, alas, too late. - Mr. Read could not catch his agricultural friend, and had to rest con- tent with gazing on the sand hills man's heels as they twinkled over the horizon be- fore him. The fall was a hard one, but there 'was no mistake, and Mr. Read and Colonel McCord, Blanche Kennedy, Colonel Parmelee and the balance of the boys who were dreaming had to lay down and rest to content, Still, Mr, Read is willing to bet $100 that he can beat any man in the state 100 birds, barring Parmeleg at any time and any place they may see proper to designate.
