Reynolds’ newspaper, which is one of the few journals not afraid of incurring royal displeasure, prints a statement on what it asserts to be the “highest possible authority,” fully cor- roborating the World's story. It says “There is only too much truth in the statement that King Edward is suffering from cancer of the larynx. Since his ac- cession to the throne no fewer than three operations have been performed.

AUBURN, N. Y., Oct The time that Leon . Czolgosz, assassin of President Mc- Kinley, has to live is reckoned by hours now, but there has been no relaxation of the striugent rule under which the prisoner has been secluded since his confinement. Auburn prison was closed today to any who sought the assassin and so it will remain until the prisoner has paid the penalty which the law exacts In fact, the plan to deprive Czolgosz liv- ing of any notorlety has been extended to Czolgosz dead. Immediately after the exe- cution the clothing of the murderer, with the vast accumulation of mail that came { to the prison for him, wifl be burned and if possible the request of the parents of the dead man for his body will be evaded, It is feared that the removal of his body to Cleveland would lead to scenes of an unfor- | tunate nature and the prison officials are very anxious to avold anything of the kind The plan of burning the clothing and lot- ters of the murderer will prevent the ex- hibition ¢f relics by those who pander to the morbid, The hour of 7 on Tuesday morning is the time set hy Warden J. Warren Mead for the execution. Various reports changing that time have gone through Auburn today and | tonight. One rumor places the time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, but that is dis- credited by the fact that Superintendent of State Prisons Cornellus V. Collins will not arrive here until 3 p. m. tomorrow after- noon and none of the regularly summoned witnesses has yet reached Auburn. Chair Rendy for Service, The chair in which Czolgosz will sit to receive the deadly shock was examined and tested today by State RElectrician E. F. Davis and is ready for the part that it is to play in the final scene of the great na- | tional tragedy. Davis carefully examined the wiriug, switchboard and electrodes and satisfied himself that they were in good condition. He also inspected the dynamos In the prison shop where the current is generated and at his direction the cur- rent was for a brief period sent pulsating Into the death house as it will go on Tues- ay morning, carrying final punishment to the murderer. Electrician Davis will look the apparatus over again tomorrow and review with the prison officials the plan under which the sentence of death is to be carried out. Czolgosz will be the fifty-ninth man in the state and the fifteenth at Auburn prison at whose electrocution Davis has applied the current. The death warrant has not yet been read to the prisoner, but it is believed that it will be tomorrow afternoon. The general practice ix to read this paper some time after the commencement of the period for execution designated by the court. That perfod in this case commenced at midnight tonight. Sensationalism Under By The firm purpose of Superintendent Coi- lins and Warden Mead to avold even the semblance of sensationalism in this case is demonstrated with an incident in connection with one of the principal witnesses. Dr. Carlos F. McDonald of New York, a former president of the state lunacy commission Is to be the principal attending physician at the execution. He was one of the allenists who examined the prisoner in Buffalo and pronounced him sane. He has been very anxious to take away with him at the autopsy the prisoner's-brain for the pur- pose of microscopical examination. A few days ago Dr. McDonald had a talk with Superintendent Collins and asked the latter to allow him after the autopsy to take the brain to New York City for examination Mr. Collins said to him. *“Doctor, 1 have planned to make this ex- ecution an example of mystery that will forestall any attempt at sensationalism. I camnot allow anything to go away from the prison that will in any way tend to lend to this man notoriety. You may stay at the prison for a week if you will and examine any portion of the anatomy you please, but my present plan is not to allow any portion of the man, his clothing or even the letters he recelved, to leave this place.” Dr. McDonald replied: “I would like to have taken the brain away, but I am frank to say that you are absolutely right in the matter. 1If I desire to make any examina- tion I will do it at the prison.” Body Denled to Relatives, The plan of Superintendent Collins is It is understood that an unrepealed law has been found that will allow the warden to refuse any request for Czolgosz's hody from even his relatives and will glve the warden the privilege of disposing of it that event within two hours after the ex- ecution, unless Dr. McDonald cares to make an analysis of the brain, Czolgosz's body, clothes, letters and everything reminiscent of him in the prison will be disposed of. The body of the assassin will be buried in quick lime and the clothes, letters and packages will be consumed by fire And this is not all. Warden Mead, with | Superintendent Collins' approval, has de- | clded that for the mext thirty hours pre- | ceding the execution of Czolgosz not one word of his condition or actlons shall be | given out from the prison. In other words, | the man, beginning from midnight, is prac- | tically dead, so far as the public is con- | cerned. When his death is accomplished Warden Mead will give out & brief statement of the prisoner’s last hours, including any con- fession he may make. The result of the | autopsy will also be given out by the war- den. i Two Physiclans Present At the execution on Tuesday Dr. Carlos McDonald of New York and Prison Ph siclan Gerin will be the attending phy- sicians and the priests, if any are re- quested by Czolgosz, will be the two Polish ones that have heretofore visited him. State Comptroller Erastus Knight of Buffalo has been asked to be foreman of the official jury and will be here. The rest of the jury of twelve men is made up of prominent individuals, including some other state officlals. Governor Odell has sent word that he particularly desires that this execution be conducted with as little display or notoriety as possible The prison officials rather expect a visit from the aged father of the prisoner to- morrow.

SOME STORIES CAUGHT IN THE CANVASS What the Candidates and Committees of Both Political Pa Doing to M Along. There is a lack of enthusiasm in the present campaign that is positively painful to the candidates on both tickets. With few exceptions ward meetings are not en- countering overflows and curbstone arku ments have %o far falled to put in an ap- pearance. The comparatively small number of voters who are reglstering, however, Is the most remarkable sign of apathy. the republican and the fusion committees sent out thousands of postal card remind ers of the last registration day, but they were without the expocted effect, Some of the candidates have heen getting out through the country precincts during the Jast week, but this is regarded by more | than one of them as a very slow way of campaigning. “You see,” remarked a can- didate who spent three days in the count y last week, “it takes a halt a week to call on as many voters in the country as you can see in the city in a half a day.” ublican candidate for . and John Grossmann, fu- sion candidate for county judge, attended the same German wedding out in Elkhorn precinet the other night. After the preacher had tied the knot and everybody present had congratulated the bride and the bridegroom all hands fell to having @ free social time. Then is when the oppor- tunity for political work came for the candidates. Crocker shook the hand of one German voter after another, handing each one a card and asking for his support in the politest English at his command. Along behind Crocker came Grossmann, doing lke missionary work for himself, but he had a great advantage over Tom. As he handed out the cards announcing his candidacy for county judge he pleaded for support in pure German. Finally Crocker, noticing that Grossmann, by his command of the Teutonic language, was getting the better of the deal, turned around and exclaimed: “I'm not running against you, John, and 1 wish you would let me alone—cut out the German.” Tom acker, register of deeds The following commuuication has addressed to The Bee: OMAHA, Oct. 26.—To the Editor of The Bee: I notice the following items in a South Omaha paper: It fx said: That_in case George McBride is elected Miles Mitchell will be the chief deputy in the sheriff's office.

Dr. Billings has assured Miss Rosamond Barclay, who says that she is Mr. Stokes' wife, that he will notify her in time to allow her to see him before he dies. In consid- eration of this promise she will make no effort to establish her alleged right to the name of Stokes during the life of Mr. Stokes.

It has been said by Mrs. McNutt, Mr. Stokes' sister, that If Rosamond Barclay can bring proof that she is Mrs. Stokes | | she will be allowed at her husband's bed- side. Miss Barclay says she has the proof in the shape of a marriage certificate, but she has mede no move to show it to the McNutts.

Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were soon on hand and approaching the man de- manded his name. “Ferguson” was the re ply and after another question or two De- tective Dwyer informed the man he was un der arrest. Quick ae a flash Ferguson held a revolver in each hand and started for the door. A hand-to-hand fight ensued, both officers grappling with the stranger, who proved more thun a match for them. Using his pistols as clubs he fought his way to the door and fled down the street Rapid Gait of Ice Wagon. A passing fce wagon caught his attention and the three negro occupants were soon out of his way. Then, at a terrific clip, the wagon was headed across the Cumberland river bridge into East Nashville, a fusillade of shots followiug it.

Once the buggy overturned, but was quickly righted Finally the tired horse was abandoned and after a dive into Shelby park on foot, the supposed bandit secured another horse hitched at a point near the park. Then, after a sensational ride, the horse was left and the flight continued .on foot. Further out the pursuers found two of the blood- hounds used in the chase shot to death u short distance apart, and after that the trace of the man was lost The sheriff with a large posse is out to- night scouring the country for the missing man.
