It means ten days of

THE NEW BABY
Opens up a new world to the loving
mother. If it is a strong, healthy baby
that new world is a world of happiness.
If it is a weak, fretful child the new
world is full of anxiety. It has been
proven in thousands of cases, that the
use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion makes all the difference between
strength, and weakness in children.
Healthy, happy mothers have healthy,
happy children. ” Favorite Prescrip
tion ” gives the mother strength to give
her child. It makes the baby’s advent
practically painless and promotes the
secretion of the nourishment necessary
to the healthful feeding of the nursing
child.
I have been using Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre-
^iption and can say it is Just what you adver
tise it to be," writes Mrs. Victor J. Hadin, of
Leonardsville, Riley Co.. Kansas. «I began
talcing it just two months before baby came
and waa greatly benefited by its use. The doc
tor who attended me said I did about as well as
any one he had seen (as I was sick only about

pounds when born. During this numth be has
gained three and one-half pounds. Have never
given him one dose of medicine.”

CZOLGOSZ lit THE DEATH CHAIB.
exnotlr the same manner at have the
majority of ihe murderers iu this state,
showing no particular sign of fear, but
in fact doing what but few of them hnve
done—talking to the witnesses while ho
wns being strapped to the chair.
Czolgosz retired last night at 10
o'clock and slept so soundly that whon
Warden Mead wont to call him this
morniDg shortly before 5 o’olock the
guard inside had to shako Czolgosz to
awaken him. He sat up on tho edge of
the cot and made no'reply to tho war
den’s “Good morning.”
The prison official took from his
pocket the death warrant nnd read it
slowly and distinctly to the assassin,
who hardly raised his eyes during tho
perfunctory ceremony.
Jnst as the warden stepped away
from the cell door Czolgosz called to
him and said:
••I would like to talk with the super
intendent ”
The warden responded:
“He will be down presently.”
Then the condemned man rolled over
on his cot anxious to sleep again.
Dons Death Costume.
At 5:15, however, the guard brought
to him a pair of dark trousers with the
left leg silt, so as to allow the free ap
plication of the electrode, and a light
gray oatlag shirt. He was told to get
up and put these on, which be did.
Contrary to the usual custom, be was
given a new pair of shoes. When
dressed be laid down on the oot again
and in this attltade Superintendent Col
lin. found him at 6:80 when he went
doWu to visit him.
nie superintendent stood in front of
the dell and when the warden bad called
Czolgosz’a attention, he said:
“I want to make a statement before
yon.kill me.”
“What do yon wish to say, Czolgosz?"
asked the superintendent.
"I want to make it when there are a
lot.of people present. I want them to
hear me," said the prisoner.
“Well, yon cannot," said the super
intendent.
“Then I won't talk at all,” said the
prisoner.
After the superintendent left the
guards brought Czolgosz's breakfast,
consisting of coffee, toast, eggs and ba
con and he ate with quite a good deal of
relish. While be was partaking of this
tho witnesses were gathering in the
offices of Warden Mead and at 7:08 the
procession marched to the death cham
ber, going through the long south cor
ridor.
Arranged Chair Te«t.
In the chamber Electrician Davis and
former Warden Thayer of Daunemora
bad arranged the chair test, placing a
bank of 23 incandescents across the
arms and connecting the electrode wires
at either end. The witnesses were or
dered seated and then Warden Mead
briefly addressed them, saying:
“Yon are here to witness the legal
death of Leon F. Czolgosz. I desire
that yon keep your seats and preserve
absolute silence in the death chamber,
no matter what may transpire. There
are plenty of guards and prison officials
to proserve order and attend to the
proper detail.”
The prison physicians. Dr. Oerin and
Dr. Charles F. MacDonald of New York,
took a position to the left of the chair.
Warden Mead stood directly to front,
and Electrician Davis retired to tne lit
tle room containing the elcotrioal switch

Thayer gave the signal and the car-
rent was turned through the electric
lights, flooding the chamber with bril
liant light and dramatically showing

Only Two Measures Considered- by
Members Today.
Atlanta, Oct 39.— The houso consid
ered only two measures today, the How
ard franchise tax bill and' She Hall bill
to prevent judges from directing ver
dicts by juries.
The first, after a longthy debate, and
after the vote had been taken, and jnst
as the vote was about to be announced,
was tabled on the motion of Its author
In order to stave off defeat.

flannel shirt turned back at the neok he
looked quite boyish. He wns lutensely
pale and as be tried to throw bis bead
back and carry himself ereoc his chin
quivered very perceptibly. As he was
being seated he looked about at the as
sembled witnesses with qnite a steady
stare and said:
“I killed tho president becanse he was
BU enemy of the good people—of the
working people."
His voice trembled slightly at first,
but gained strength with each word and
he spoke perfect Euglish.
”1 am not sorry for my crime,” ho
said loudly, just as the guard poshed
his head back on the rubber headrest
ond drew the strap across his forehead
and chin. As the pressures on tho strap
tightened ami bound the jaw sligmly he
mumbled:
"I am uwfully sorry I could not see
my father. ”
Warden tilves Signal.
When the strapping was completed
the guards stepped back. Warden Mead
then raised his hand, and at 7:13:30
Electrician Davis turned the switch that
threw 1,700 volts of eleotrioity into the
body. The rush of the current throw
the body so hard against tho straps that
they creaked porcepcibly. The hands
clinched suddenly nnd the whole atti
tude was one of extreme tenseness. For
48 seconds the full current wai kept on
and then slowly the electrician threw
the switch back, reducing the enrrem
volt by volt nntll tbe current was ont
off entirely. Then jnst os lc bad reached
that point, he threw tbe lever back
again for 3 or 8 seconds. Tho body,
which hod collapsed as tho current was
reduced, stiffened np against the straps
When it was tnrned off again, Dr. Mac
Donald stepped to the ohair and pm bis
hand over the heart. He said he felt no
pulsation, bat suggested that the cur
rent be tnrnad on for a few seconds
again. Once more the body became
rigid. At 7:18 the ourrent was tnrned
off for good.
From tbe time Czolgosi bad left bis
cell nntll the fall penalty was paid, less
than four minutes bad elapsed. Tbe
physicians present used the stethoscope
and other tests to determine if any life
remained, and at 7:17 the warden, rais
ing bis hand, announced:
“Gentlemen, tbe prisoner Is dead.”
The witnesses filed from the cham
ber, many of them visibly affected, and
the body was taken from the chair and
laid on the operating table.
When the body of Czolgosz bad been
removed from the room where be was
ktlled to the autopsy table, Anbnrn
prison returned to the routine of its or
dinary life. The prisoners who had
been kept locked in their cells were re
leased at 7:45 o’clock and prison work
was resumed at once. There was no ex
citement among the convicts. Scarcely
100 people had gathered ontstdo tho
prison gate to watch the witnesses enter
and wait until they reappeared.
(irtatrit Precautions Taken.
Prison Superintendent Collins made
the followtng statement:
“The execution was one of the most
successful ever conducted in the state.
Extraordinary care had to be taken in
the cose, because both the warden and I
received hundreds of threatening let
ters, many of them asserting in violent
and intemperate language that the
prisoner would never be pat in the
otuir.
“I have decided to bnry the body of
Czolgosz in the, regular prison plot in
the local cemetery. The funeral will
take place some time within the next 48
hoars. We will keep the grave guarded
day and night until each time as the
