Rosea, the float which followed, prob
ably' also held a special .lure for the
fair lex. A the eternal suggestion ot
the rose Is love, so was the theme of
this float love.
Diamond's Prismatic Glories.
Doves billed on either side of the bril
liant car and so natural did they appear
that their coos almost oould be heard.
Little Dan Cupid? arrowed bow in hand,
stood at the .front of the creation, his
form balancing In the picture, the
gigantic roses whoa vines twined every-
where over the body of the car and the
pair of great red hearts which adorned
each side. To make the suggested story
replete, Bomea and Juliet were here In
livid reality, presenting the famous bal
cony .scene In the greatest of ail love
dreams.
The most precious of Jewels formed
the composition of the float which fol
lowed the diamond and probably not a
more glittering spectacle was In the
parade. Under the Innumerable lights,
of whioh the float practically was com
posed, the prismatic colors of this gem
flashed up Into the heavens, illuminat
ing the stalart figure of Saturn that
surmounted all. The diamond being
dedicated to Saturday, Saturn, the
ancient god ot agriculture and civiliza
tion made the cynosure of the eye on
the diamond float, while things sug
gestive of April,, the diamond month,
such as Easter lilies and furry rabbits,
completed the beautiful adornment.
All along the Una of march His
Majesty's subjects loudly applauded this
brust of varicolored flame In the galaxy
of his cortege. And then attention was
attacted to the Imposing appearance of
the lily float, which came next In line.
'" ' Lifelike Tigers Glare.
From the front of this glared two life-
slxed - tigers, the tushes In their open
mouths and the aggressiveness of their
general appearance sulking the onlook
ers With, awe. Directly behind them there
bloomed a gigantic tiger lily, the coloring
of which blended harmoniously Into their
own. Back of this an Easter lily of equal
slse stood directly In front of a refresh
ing pool filled with pond lily leaves. Sev
eral maidens rode upon this float, cj fry

jthls they dispersed, for guards were pa
ftrolllng the penitentiary walls, with in'
.structlons to shoot anyone that ' came
'near. But Inside the walls of the prison
Jthe word was quietly being passed from
cell to cell that "the negro is heret", and
by ' daylight' it is assumed that . every
prisoner In the cell house was posted and
ready to do his part., . . ,'.', '
Storm Breaks Suddenly.' ' "
At the usual hour, the prisoners were
.marched out to breakfast, but there was
'not a sign to indicate the storm about to
(break. Every man appeared calm and
'ate breakfast ' in tithe v usual deliberate
imanner. S Then 'followed, the" morning
, cleaning : pt -the U house" and rooms.
This gave, the prisoners the opportunity
to locate Wlgfall, who had been placed
Irt a cell on the fifth tier of the cell
house. ' ' " ' ' "' '
. At 8:30 thers was a sudden rush, the
'guards and turnkey were overpowered,
'and while several convicts stood guard,
the others rushed to the fifth floor, sc-
'cured Wlgfall, and with one end of
rope tied about his neck and the other
fastened to the railing of the corridor,
and amid wild yells and curses, the col
ured fiend was cast over, lie fell twenty-five
feet, being killed instantly, and
his head was almost Jerked from his
body. .
) Prisoners Hetarn to Cells.
Satisfying themselves that WigfalU 'was
lead, the ' prisoners released the guards
ind turnkey, formed in line, prepared to
loekstep to the broom factory. The men
were returned to their cells and quiet
restored. They said they did .not wish
'to. be contaminated with Jhe;r presence of
so foul a monster and believed it was tip
to them to mete out summary Justice.
The state authorities will at once make
a vigorous investigation ef the peniten
tiary. Many prisoners have escaped dur

many chaiges of lax methods of man

state institution for safe keeping.-'Wig-full
was arrested yesterday en a charge
of attacking Mrs.. Esther Hlggins, aged'
78. last Sunday.
Wlgfall was arrested at Fort Steele,
fifteen miles from here.
Wlgfall was placed in a ceil on the
third floor. This morning, as the other
convicts paed', Wlgfall's cell oi' their
way to breakfast, th negro1 laughed and
Coasted about ills deed. . This '.incensed
the prisoners; who quieUy perfected their
plans for vengeance;:, , .' , ,; .'t :

started for "the cell house. ' The? over
powered, theieeper, who at the time was
changing the negro into another cell, and
locked ,the. keeper In a cell. .; ' ! .1
One of the convicts produced, a rope,
which he had secreted under his coat. A
haf hitch was placed around the negro's
neck and he .was dropped from the cell
house balcony, a distance o f thirty feet.
The force of the fall broke Wlgfall's back.
The time consumed in the lynching was
less than five minutes and so quietly did
the prisoners work that none but tno cell
house keeper who was' overpowered,
knew what was happening. The lynch-
era then returned to their work.

sisted in visiting the Various schools,
overseeing the instruction and directing
the purchase of equipment The greater
part ot the funds for this is furnished
by the United States government, the na
tlvet of the district furnishing little
toward the support of their schools. Dur
ing the summer the American teachers
hold a school, In which they Instruct the
native teachers.
He speaks most enthusiastically of the
climate says that it far excels that of
China and other neighboring- countries.

Roosevelt's expenses and Intended to let
those of Taft, Wilson and Harmon, Un
derwood -and Clark-get-until "after the
election, brought out bitter exchanges
with members of the committee. Chair
man Clapp took the charge as a persona!
reflection upon himself, "the only member
of the committee ' friendly to Colonel
Roosevelt."
Senator Dixon finally demanded that
Charles P. Taft be summoned to tell
whether he had spent $600,000 to secure
President Taft's renomlnatlon and the
committee agreed to consider the sug
gestion. -
The $96,000, Senator Dixon said, was In
addition to the $141,000 Mr. Hooker -told
of yesterday handled by the Roosevelt
headquarters In New Tork, $52,000 Hooker
fcad handled for the New lork local cam
paign and the 8102.000 William Fllnn said
he had given for Pennsylvania. The
$25,000 each contributed by Perkins, Mun
er and Hanna were also in addition, Mr.
(Dixon said, to the $25,000 given to the
New Tork headquarters by Hanna, the
$19,000 given by Mr. Munsey and the $22.M)0
given by Mo Perkins.
Coatrlbattons to Other Fends.
Senator Dixon told the committee he
had been reliably informed that Thomas
P. Ryan and A. H. Plant, auditor of the
Southern railway, bad contributed heavily
to Oscar W. Underwood's campaign; that
Joseph B. Davis spent $48,000 In Governor
Wilson's preconvention campaign; that
Charles P. Taft had spent 8600,000 for his
brother, the president, and that "leading
financiers of New Tork had spent large
sums for. Governor Harmon." i
Chairman Clapp told Senator Dixon he
could tell what he knew about other can
didates later.
I'd send him to jail." declared Sen
ator Pomerene, as Senator Dixon closed
his remarks to the committee.
Senator Dixon then told what contribu
tions he had personally, received.
William Eno, a relative of Glfford Pin-
chot, gave blm-$5,000; Frank Munsey
gave him some money, "probably $5,000,"
and more from time to time; George W.
Perkins made several contributions; Mrs.
Antoinette Wood, aunt of Clifford Pin
chot Rave $5,000; Dan R. Hanna made
several contributions. About $95,000 or
$96,000 was the total Senator Dixon gave
is the amount he personally had spent'
"I didn't keep any books," he said. "I
spent the money as fast as I got it"
One' elevator' man in the capltol he said
had given $50.
What do you know of efforts to
change the votes of southern delegates
by the use of money?" asked Senator
Clapp. .
Nothlnk , except hearsay," answered
Mr. Dixon vigorously.
"Do you know by repute of any such
attempts, in ' which you had a part or
aoquleBoed?" asked Senator Clapp.
"Not a thing," said Dixon. He said he
collected no funds for the holding of the
progressive national convention. In Au
gust; that the $18,000 necessary was all
raised by the local committee in Chicago.
Exchanges between Senators Dixon and
Pomerene became so heated this afternoon
that Mr. ' Pomerene invited Mr. Dixon
"outside, but the "affair pasaeff off with
out conflict. Mr, Dixon closed his testi
mony without' glvftig the hames of his In
formants that large sums of money had
been spent for Mr. Taft After a brief ex
amination of ' dbngressmari Weeks of
Massachusetts the' committee Adjourned
until tomorrow morning. '
Denial from Wilson.
PRINCETON, N. J., Oct $.-Governor
Wilson today denied knowledge of a
$70,000 contribution to his campaign fund
by Charles R. Crane of Chicago, when
shown the report ot the evidence before
the Clapp committee yesterday. Governor
Wilson was preparing speeches tor his
western trip, which begins tonight, and
which will take him as tar as Denver.
"It can't be true," said the governor,
or I would have heard, of it I. know
what the total contributions were and
how hard up we were. Of .course, Mr.
Coombs has all the data and will testify
about those things."
The nominee added that he was under
the Impression that Mr. Crane did not
contribute at all to the pre-oonventlon
campaign fund, but that his first contri
bution came after the Baltimore conven
tion. .. , '. . ... -.

Officers on Platform.
When the parade reaches the new build
ing the officials will leave the carriages
and take places on a platform which has
been constructed in front of the building.
D. & Bradshaw has been elected master
ot ceremonies and has arranged places
for the officers on the platform.
One of the features of the dedication
will be the placing of a box in the corner
stone. This stone has been constructed
with a hole in the center. An iron box
has been made to fit the hole and in this

adopted is to take all the visitors to the

AMUSEMENTS.
Major Wells Hawks, who was on Gen
eral Stonewall Jackson's staff, told this
story:
In the early lays one of the Pilgrim
Fathers was going out In the woods, car
rying a gun. He met a man who said.
"Where are ybu goingT
"Out In the wooda "
"Why do you carry your gun?" '
"I might meet an Indian."
"I thought you were a Calvin! st
-I am a 'CavlnlBt., :
"Don't you believe you can't die till
your time comes?"
"I know I can't die till my time comes."
"Then, why carry a gun?"
"Because I might meet an Indian whose
time had coma."
Why Hot "JSeimes?
This is the ttsson why wanes have ?' Mnres." Whea thoaghti be to row
cloudy and uncertain, impulses lag a4 the warnings of paia and distress an sent
like flying messages throughout limbs and frame, straightway, niae times to ten, a
woman will lay the eeute of the trouble to some defect at the point when she fertt
felt it. Is it a headache, a backsche, a sensation of irritability or twitching sad
uncontrollable nervousness, something must bo wrong with the head or back, a
woman naturally tays, but all the time the real trouble very often oeaiers in the
womanly erg an. In nine ease out of teat tho tost of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for its euro. The loeal disorder and inflam
mation of the delicate special organs of the sex should ho treated steadily and
systematioaUy.
Dr. Pierce, during t long period of practice, found that a prescription made
from medicinal extracts of native roota.without the use of aloobol, relieved over 90
per oent. of such eases. After using this remedy for many Years ia his private prac
tice ho put it up it form of Dr. Pieroe'e Favorite Prescription, that would make it
easily proecrable, x it oaa be had at any atom where medicines are handled.
Mrs. Ltla B. Hawkins, of Zeus, Va., writes: " I had been failing In health
for two yearsmost of the time was not able to attend to my household duties.
Female weakness was my trouble and I was getting very bad but, thanks to Doctor
Pierce's medicines, I am well and strong again. I took only three bottles ot Favor
ite Prescription,' and used the 'Lotion Tablets.' I have nothing but praise for
Doctor Pierce's wonderful medicines."
