Savs the Rome Tribune’s Atlan

“Asked about his probable can
didacy for Congress, Judge Fite
said he had been urged by friends
to enter the race, ‘and,’ said the
judge, ‘if not hampered with local
candidates, and I can have a clear
field against Judge Maddox (if he
opposes me) I shall very likely
make the race.’ ”
DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Stated He Killed President Because
Enemy of Working People.
Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29. — At 7:-
12:30 o’clock this morning Leon
Czolgosz, murderer of President
william McKinley, paid the ex
treme penalty exacted by the law
for bis crime. He was shocked to
death by 1,700 volts of electricity.
He went to the chair in exactly the
same manner as have the majority
of murderers in this state,showing
110 particular sign of fear, but in
fact, doing what few of them have
done —talking to the witnesses
while he was being strapped in the
chair.
“I killed the president because
he was an enemy to the good peo
ple—of the good work people. I
am not sorry for my crime.”
These were his words as the
guards hurried him into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling
through the half adjusted face
straps, he said:
“I am awful sorry I could not
see my father.”
It was just exactly 7:11 o’clock
when he crossed the threshold, but
a minute had elap;ed and he had
just finished the last statement
when the strapping was completed, |
and as the guards stepped back I
warden Mead raised his hand at
7:12:30 and Electrician Davis
turned the switch that threw 1,700
volts of electricity into the living
body. The rush of the current
threw the body against the straps
so hard that they creaked percep
tibly. The hands clenched sud
denly and the whole attitude was
one of extreme tenseness. For
forty-five seconds the full current
was kept on and then slowly the
electrician threw the switch back
reducing the current volt by volt
until it was cut off entirely. Then
just afer it had reached that point
he threw the lever hack again for

Monkeys
“All well—all happy—lots
of fun”. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum’s Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with Scott’s Emul
9n. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.

two or three seconds. The body’
which had collapsed as the current
was reduced, stiffened up
against the straps, when it was
turned off again. Dr. McDonald
stepped to the chair and put his
head over the heart. He said he
felt no pulsation, but suggested
that the current be turned on for a
few’ seconds again Once more the
body became rigid. At 7:15 i^ ie
current was turned off for good.
From the time Czolgosz had left
his cell until the full penalty was
’paid, less than four minutes had
elapsed. The physicians present
used the stethoscope and other
tests to determine if any life re
mained, and at 7:17 the warden,
i raising his hand, announced:
I “Gentlemen, the prisoner is
1 dead.”

A Good Show,
The John H. Sparks’ circus
which exhibited here last Saturday
attracted a large crowd at both the
afternoon and evening perform
ances. They gave a nice, clean
exhibition which was deserving of
the liberal patronage accorded by
our people. Every actor was an
artist in his or her class, while the
trained animals, the attractions in
the annex, etc., were also particu
larly good features. All in all, it
was the best 25 cent show that has
\ isited this place, or vicinity for a
long time, and there is nothing
cheap about the circus except the
price. Come again. Mr. Sparks.—

When ther* is disease of the delieate
female organism, it is only a question of
time until the general health becomes
undermined. Nervousness, sleeplessness,
loss of appetite and "sinking speHs”
produce sneering almost indescribable.
There can Ls "no restoration of the gen
eral health until the local health of the
womanfv organism is re-established.
