en VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 8. 1896. NO 105. A MONSTER EXECUTED Holmes, the? FienfV Handed at Philadelphia. HE MAINTAINED HIS INNOCENCE Declared He Bad Merer Willfully D- toyed Ilnmin tile lie "Was AccomiittDied By Priests. Philadelphia, May 7. H. H. Holmes was banged at-Moyamensing prison this morning. The drop fell at 10:12. Half an hour later be wan pronounced dead. His neck was broken by the fall. Even on the scaffold he was probably the coolest person in the solemn assem blage. In a few well-chosen words he proclaimed his innocence of any murder, including that for which he was con victed, and hanged. He declared that the only wrong-doing in taking human life for which he could be held respons ible, consisted in the death of two women, who died as a result of criminal operations at his hands. He did not. name these victims. Holmes spent the greater part of his last night writing Tetters. At midnight be went to bed and slept soundly until 6 o'clock this morning. It took two calls to awaken him. Promptly arising, he reeeived a visit from his spiritual ad visers, Fathers Daly and MacPeak, of the Church of Annnnciation. They ad ministered the last sacrament and did not leave him until nearly 9 o'clock. During their absence he ate a break fast of eggs, dry toast and coffee. At 10 :02 o'clock the sheriff called to gether; the official jury, and after each man bad answered to his name and sub scribed to the certificate, the march to the gallows was began. As the gather ing stood in silence before the scaffold a murmuring sound came from behind a partition, erected immediately back of it. It was the dolorous chant of the two priests accompanying the doomed man to the Bcaffold. They were uttering the psalm miserera. At 10:03 they mounted the fatal plat form. A moment of prayer' elapsed. Then Holmes stepped to the front of the scaffold, and, resting his hands on the rails before him, made a statement of his innocence. It was received in abso lute silence. Two minutes later he had finished his valedictory, then, at a silent signal from the priests, he bent to his .knees, his eyes fixed on a crucifix, clasped in bis thin bands. Until 10:12 the prayer continued. Immediately aft erward be aroae, shook hands with the priests and lawyers, and in a firm voice bade them "Good bye." Without an instant's delay his hands were bound behind his back, and the black cap adjusted. Sheriff Clement placed the noose about bis neck, and after an instant of terrible stillness , the crack of the bolt rang out like a pistol shot, and the murderer. had fallen to his doom. Consciousness left him inBtantly, said the doctors, although his heart con tinued to feebly beat for 15 or 20 min utes." , ' Holmes speech on the scaffold was aa follows: "Gentlemen,' I have very few words to bay;. in fact, J would, make, no remarks at this time except that by .not speaking 1 would appear to acquiesce in my execution. I only wish to say that the extent of my wrong-doing in taking human life consisted in the death of two women, they having died at my hands' as the result of criminal operations., I wish to state here, so there can .be no chance of misunderstanding, that I .am not guilty of taking the lives - of any of the Pitezel family, the three children and Benjamin, the father, of whose death I was convicted, and for which . I am to be hanged. That is all I have to say. ; ' - ' -'"' Brown' Keqieit Granted. San Fkancisco, May 7. Dr. Charles Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. GeVt Report t S f i i i O. Brown apparently contemplates per manent withdrawal from membership in the Congregational charch in which he was recently a&frooked. The ; fact that he has been invited to preVc. from the pulpit of a Methodist church.iol tu"?d by a request for recommendation "to any evangelical church," presented at the regular weekly' 'prayer meeting, last night, bears out the assumption. The letter was presented' to the meeting by Deacon Morse immediately after the preliminaries had been concluded. . The request was granted.! ' DICKINLKI AGAIN . WINS. Indians Delegates Instructed for the Ohio Man. Indianapolis, May 7. While the band played "Paradise Alley" Sergeant-at-Arms Mount bawled himself hoarse ordering delegates into their seats at the Republican state convention in Tomlin son hall today. Five thousand enthusi astic Republicans crowded the corridors, gallery and floor.. Fourteen hundred and fifteen delegates, as well as a vast throng of spectators, were discussing the possible efiect of General Harrison's appearance on the platform. It was generally conceded that McKinley would carry the convention if no sensation was sprung by the friends of the ex-president. At 10 :30, State Chairman J. A. Goway called the convention to order. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Richard W. Thomp son was made permanent chairman, and was greeted with a rousing reception. Despite his 88 years, the er-secretary delivered a stirring speech, which dis posed of the Democratic party to the eatisction of the crowd. The report of the committee on cre dentials was submitted and accepted without a contest. Then came the reading of the plat form and resolutions. ' When the chair man reached the McKinley resolutions, which concluded the '; platform, the crowd broke into a wild cheer, which was met with vigorous counter-cries of "Harrison." For several, moments the opposing forces howled for their favor ites. When the climax was reached and the phrase "directed to vote for William McKinley" was read, the howls broke loose again. ' After the gavel bad in a measure re stored order the motion to adopt was put amid a wild turmoil of conflicting cries. The ayes were reinforced by yells from the galleries and corridors, as were the nays, but the indications were that the vote was about 3 to 1 for the resolutions. The ( latform extols Benjamin Harri son, contrasting his administration with that of'his successor ; demands a return to tne republican . policy of protection and reciprocity ; favors the obb of silver as currency, "but to the extent only and under such regulations that its parity with gold can be ; maintained, . and, in consequence, we are opposed to the free, unlimited rand . independent coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to. 1." , Woman May.. .Vote at the ..HethodUt ' ..J -.( . Conference. V ; Cleveland, May 7. Bishop Fosspre-. sided at the Methodist conference today. Dr. W. N. Kynett, chairman of the committee ;on eligibility, .presented a report. 'The committee agreed that the eligibility of women to vote at this con vention is , constitutional, and that the general conference has power to inter pret the constitution. The committee recommends a modification of the con struction, changing the qualifications of delegates to . the general conference by' using the words "lay -delegate," instead of ''laymen," thereby making the .ad mission of women 'legal; that the pro posed amendment be referred to the an nual conferences of the following year, and that a two-thirds vote of the gener al conference and a three-fourths vote of the annual conferences be required to enact this recommendation into a law. The report says that inasmuch as the question has not been judicially passed upon, those having seats can retain them without prejudice. Dr. Kynett said that neither the majority nor the minority t- - t A SPRIHG DED'GSkS Is Simmons Liver Regulator dbfi't forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish during the Winter, just like all nature, and the system becomes choked up by the accumulated waste, which brings on Mararia, Fever and Ague and Rheuma tism.

It also regulates the Liver keeps if property at work, when your system will be free from poison and the whole body invigorated. You get THE BEST BLOOD when your system is in Al condition, and that will only be when the Liver is kept active. Try a Liver Remedy once and note the difference. But take only SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR it is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR which makes the difference. Take it in powder or in liquid already prepared, or make a tea of the powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every package. Look for it. J. H. Zeilin & Co Philadelphia, Pa, surrendered ; that their views are the same, but the report was a concession by both parties. Dr. Bynett said that there was a ru mor that pressure bad been brought to bear upon the women to retire. The committee believed that, no pressure should be brought to bear upon them which would conflict with their duty tot their constituents. By a" vote of 425 to 93 the conference adopted the report and referred the layman question back to the churches to be voted opon.agaln. For Kent. A bouse and grounds on bluff, Fulton street.
