at the Clay county courthouse at L ib
erty this morning.
Carr passed a restless night. When
breakfast was brought to him he turned
from it with disgust, lighted a cigar
and stood for a long time looking out
of his window. Presently an under
taker arrived and asked Carr what dis
position he wanted made of his body.
“ Let my wife take care of it,” he ex
claimed, with a sob.
His spiritual advisers followed and
urged him to face his fate like a man.
The Bible was read to the prisoner,
which was followed by the singing of a
hymn, during which time Carr trem

Carr presented a pitiable sight as he
was finally led to the gallows, but
braced liimself spontaneously and went
through the ordeal with comparative
show of strength.
The sheriff pulled the trigger at
10:34, and two minutes later the life
had gone out of the child murderer.

The Chicago wheat market ia in

Dccemlier wheat sold at premium a t
from 3 to 12c, over cash wheat at N ew
Y’ ork, Baltimore, St. Louis, Toldao,
Duluth and other points. A t onw
time the premium at Duluth waa ifc.
W ith such premiums is it a wonder
that men like Arm our and Weara
should take the risk of selling Decem
ber and buying the cash wheat in th a
Northwest when the cost of getting Ik
here from Minneapolis by rail is not
over 7o to 8c? They not only get th a
profit in the difference, but alao run
the risk of the bulls changing their
minds and leaving the wheat here, or
at least a good part of the 5 .0 0 0 ,M R

never lias been such a chance in yearn,
and they have taken advantage oi it
and run the risk of the wheat grading.
Not only has the bulge brought in frea
offerings from the Northwest, whera
over 1,000,000 bushels have been bought
within a week, bnt it has stimulated
holders in the winter wheat oountry
to send their wheat wheat here. THo
bowling about the grading made them
timid about risking December sales,
and last week brought out offers of
more wheat than was supposed to bw
in the oountry.
This will place a larger quantity i a
