^Comment and Story

•••.. George Carver: ''I received a letter from a friend in Lawton, Oklahoma, this morning, and he wants me to come out there and start an undertaking establishment. Lie states that there are eighty-six saloons in the town, which now has 8,000 inhabitants, and not a single hearse. He says that they are going to begin to kill people pretty soon and the business outlook for an undertaker is very flattering."

HAD LIVED

So Did Leon Czolgosz the Assassin of President McKinley Die.

UNREPENTANT TO LAST

The Final Messag-e of the Miserable Wretch Was An Imprecatiou Against the Church.

Extreme Expiation Paid 011 the Electric Chair Today For Murder Most Foul.

Auburn, N. Y., Oct 29.—Leon Czolgosz this morning paid tribute with his life for tho murder of President MoKinley. He made this extreme expiation on the electric chair unconfeseed and unrepentant. He refused to heed the words of the priests who cams to urge spiritual preparation for death and declined to either re-embrace Roman Catholicism or renounce anarchy. He showed no strength of love for kin, nor did he turn to any of those higher considerations which ordinarily claim the thoughts of men

occupying his position. He may have suffered untold torture, but. outwardly, he seemed sullen and indifferent. The state did not surrender possession of his body and by sundown it will have been secretly interred, enveloped in quicklime, in ground controlled by the officials of Auburn prison.

VValdeck Czolgosx, brother of the murderer, foreseeing endless difficulties and possibly angry demonstrations as the result of an attempt to give the body ordinary burial, heeded the advice of Superintendent of State Prisons Collins and Warden Mead, and formally relinquished all claim to it. He merely stipulated that at the close of the autopsy all parts of the body should be buried. All chance of an unhappy and unfortunate sequel to the execution, either in displays of popular contempt or the exhibition of ghastly relic.e is therefore finally prevented. The plan of burning his clothing and papers was carried out immediately after the execution.

Czolgosz held his last two interviews last night, the first with Superintendent Collins and the second with his brother and brother-in-law. Both

of the interviews were brief and the interviewers did most of the talking until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from his seeming lethargy and violently denounced the church and the clergy and made his relatives promise that there should be no service for him living or dead. The brother said: "I wish you would tell us, Leon, who got you into this scrape?"

The assassin answered in a slow, hesitating manner: "No one. Nobody had anything to do with it but me." "That is not bow you were brought up," said the brother, "and you ought to tell us everything now." "I haven't got anything to tell," he answered in a surly manner. "Do you want to see the priests again?" asked his brother. He an Bwered with more vehemence than he had previously shown: "No, damn them aon't send them

nere again I don't want them." The brother looked rather disturbed by the answer. Then stepping up close to the bars the condemned man said: "And don't you have any praying over me when I'm dead. I don't want it. I don't want any of their damned religion."

Czolgosz spent his last day of life much as he did all the others since he passed into the hands of the law. The approach of death seemed to awaken no greater consciousness of his position. He again turned his back upon the priests who came to urge him to confess and repent and was undemonstrative in the presence of those of his kin, who came to say a last farewell to him. When alone with his guards he remained silent' and passed the time either lying on his bunk, or in slowly pacing up and down the cell. He ialked, when addressed, to those admitted near his cell, but with his old deliberation and slowness. If he knew strong emotion at any time, he was successful in concealing it from those who watched over him.

and Unreservedly at That.

When the stalks of a wheat field all lean to the south one may fairly infer the wind is in the north. Likewise when the crowds continuously stream into our store ia it not a fair assumption that our stocks and our services are preferred to all others? 'Twould seem so Now we are not given to buying bouquets for self?presentation, nor are we charged with boastfulness. In this case we are merely stating a palpable fact for which we are profoundly grateful. In this connection let us add we'd thank our friends to tell us frankly of our! faults. We want to know. We want our store service to be as good as our prices, and the prices are revolutionary.
