c i : jf Cjip ' ' VOL. VIII THE DALLES, OREGON, TUESDAY JULY 2 1895. NO 155 LAWS SLOW DELAY Dr. Buchanan Electrocuted . in Sing Sing. REPRIEVE IS REFUSED Tna Declsien In the Stafford Case Will ha Appealed. --Telajrraphle Maws. Sikg Sing, Jnly 1. Dr. Buchanan, the wife-murderer, was electrocuted this morning. Mrs. Buchanan, wife of the condemned murderer, today made an unsuccessful efiort to induce Governor 'Morton to commute her husband's sen tence to life imprisonment. At 6 o'clock this morning she sank on her knees and pleaded for her husband's life. Grief almost prevented her from speak ing. Governor Morton was overcome. Tears stood in his eyes as he lifted her to her feet, and told her he could not grant her request. The following dispatch was received at the prison from New York : "To Warden Sage, Sing Sing prison. New York : The opinion of the attorney-general is misleading, and misstates the fact as to the appeal. The Buchan an case is in the supreme court of the United States, and by the United States laws your authority is stayed. You must choose between your supposed duty to the state and pbediance to the supreme laws of your country. (Signed)Arthur C. Butts, George W. Gibons." Mrs. Buchanan arrived on the train reaching here at 10 :30 a. m., and was taken to to the residence of the pastor of the Presbyterian church. Warden Sage 'sent her word that she could not see the prisoner, as when she arrived, the prison officials were already preparing him for the electric chair. At 11 :14 the witnesses were called to - the execution chamber. . Electrician Davis was at the switchboard. In a closed box was a convict, who upon a signal, was to turn the switch. When the party was seated, the electrician put a bank of incandescent light on the chair, and Bant a current through them. There were 1740 volts in the bank. When the current was switched off, the warden and two guards appeared at the door with Dr. Buchanan. He walked in, and without a word took his seat. In about 30 seconds he was strap ped, and in 40 seconds pronounced dead. The voltage of 1740 was kept on 30 sec onds more. It was the quickest, moat successful execution ever seen at the prison. Guttean's Kxecutlonar. Washington, July 1. Russell Strong, familiary known as "Colonel Bob Strong," who executed Guiteau, the as sassin of President Garfield, died in this city yesterday of the infirmities incident to old age, being close upon his 80th year. He had been an officer of the district jail nearly 30 years, during that period having executed 18 criminals, the last one a year ago, when his nerve seemed as steady as if not strained by the wear and tear of 79 years of life. He was born in Albany N. Y., and in early life was a sailor, and the knowledge he thus acquired of ropes and knots led to his selection as the district hangman. Before settling en Washington, he went out to California with the '49arg," and assisted in building the old San Francis co mint. He afterward took a hand in building the house wing of the capitol. Notwithstanding the grim nature of his professional duties, he was a jovial and kind-hearted man in private lite, and sacrificed most of his own means to aid a brother in the protracted litigation of a claim of many thousands of dollars against the city government for unpaid services as contractor. That claim was finally decided in his brother's favor. Highest of all in Leavening two years after he had died, worn out, like a Jarndyce heir, by the long Strug- eie. JVDUK KulS' DECISION. Received In Washington With Much latarast Will Be Appealed. Nw Yoke, July l.-r.The Herald's Washington special says the decision of Judge Boss, in San Francisco, in regard to the claim of the government against the stockholders of the Central Pacific, has been received here with much in terest. Not only was the theory of the personal liability of- stockholders under the California law very fully discussed, but Mrs. Stanford made special trips to Washington concerning it, and had an interview with the president, urging acceleration in the trial of the case, so that she, as executrix, might distribute her husband's estate. Those who have been interested in the case have learned little from the meager reports of Judge Boss' de cision, but it seem 8 that his chief reason for setting the claim aside is that the personal liability clause in the California constitution was not adopted until after the government had entered into its contract with the builders of the road. Attorney-General Harmon has just received from San Francisco copies of the government decisions in the case, and is preparing to take up the matter. It is cot doubted that the case will be carried to the supreme court. This will add another year or two to the time al ready occupied by the proceedings. Again on the Warpath. Tacoma, July 1. The Kake Indians of Alaska, who massacred several whites during an outbreak in 1893, are again on the warpath, because of the killing of one of their bucks by a Wrangel Island Indian, who also killed his wife because she eloped with the Kake Indian. The Kakes learned some white traders hnd instigated (the killing of their brave. The Kakes raided the traders, secured some whisky, became drunk and killed two whites. Tha Stanford Casa. San Francisco, July 1. L. D. Mc Kissick, special counsel for the govern ment in the suit to recover $15,000,000 from the Stanford estate, says the case will, at once, be appealed to the United States court of appeals, and from there to the United States supreme court if necessary. He says the litigation will not affect the Stanford university, no matter what the outcome may be. Whooplnc; Coogh There is no danger from this disease Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given.

Kimball's Blethoda a Menaca - ta Satire Trada. tha Chicago Musical News. The following advertisement has been given a prominent position in thn daily papers of Washington, D. C. and has been printed in the Chicago Musical News and the American Hebrew News, of Portland. We desire to call the atten tion of the public to it. The unfairness of the assertions it con tains needs no emphasizing, . for they will appear at once to the sense of right inherent in every legitimate dealer in pianos all over the country : Next Tuesday will be a special bar gain day on pianos at our store. We have found some grand bargains in new Upright Pianos (not the celebrated Kim ball pianos), and propose to give the public a chance to secure new pianos next Tuesday at manufacturers' whole sale prices. The prices Tuesday next for these new elegant Upright pianos will be only $149 and $159 each. Part time given if de sired. These pianos will be on exhibit at our storri all day Monday, but no sales will be made from this lot until Tuesday, and will continue that day only. W. W. Kimball, Co., Metzerott Building, Cor. 1 2th and F. Sta. The Kimball Company may regard such methods as fair and honorable, but they are open to the severest criticism in attempting to destroy the piano trade in Washington after many years of honor able work to promote it. The unfairness of the card lies in the assertion that the pianos which are to be sold at sacrificial prices are not made by the Kimball company. Therein is the poison. This whole scheme is perpetrated to give the Kimball pianos a position to which their merits do not entitle them. Although the Kimball advertisement de clares theee are not Kimball pianos which are to be slaughtered it does not 'enhance the value of their own instru ments. Those who are familiar with the Kim ball pianos know perfectly well that the makers can afford to sell them at "just such ruinous prices as are quoted for other instruments in their possession at Washington. What is there in the Kimball piano to justify this step? Nothing. The Kimball company make one of the cheapest pianos in the United States. And after the Kimball piano is made ready for the market it is not then worth a place above a low rank. When you come to think of it, can you name any genuine, firstelats house that is selling the Kimball pianos T The Kimball managers may consider they have made a brilliant stroke, but they are merely using gigantic power to foist a cheap make on 4 he market. The question is also one of a broader conception than mere local purview. Such advertisements as these cut at the root of the piano industry for they mis lead private buyers. We shall not let this subject stop here. It is fraught with grave danger to the entire trade, and, although the Kimball company is composed of schrewd schem ers, they may find they have far over stepped the bounds of legitimate busi ness dealing.
