CINCINNATI. - John M. Pattison,
governor of Ohio, died at his homo
in Milford, suburb of this city, at
4:20 o'clock in the afternoon.
That tho death of the governor
was entirely unexpected was evident
when it is remembered that in a
contest over the requisition of Ells
worth Liverpool in the courts in this
city, both of the governor's physi
cians appeared to testily that his
condition was such that he was able
to transact ollicial business. His
private secretary, L. li. Ilouck, also
testified to his good condition,
explaining that lie had recently gone
over much business with him.
Although there has been for months
an expressed fear that Governor
l'attison would not be able to return
to his ollico at Columbus, the cheer
ful statements from his sick room
tended to create a belief that any
fatal outcome of his prolonged sick
ness would be long deferred.
Not at any time a man of powerful
physique, Governor Pattison entered
upon tho responsibilities of his oilioc
in a somewhat weakened condition,
'the strain of the political campaign
having so sworn on him that a trip to
the south was taken in November
and December in the hope of regain
ing his health. However, when he
returned, he was still weak and under
tho advice of his physician, his part
of the inauguration ceremonies was
gone through with the utmost care.
A glass covering was provided for
tne reviewing stand that he might be
protected from tho stormy January
winds and through that he reviewed
one of tho most elaborate parades
that has'evor graced the inauguration
of any Ohio governor. He then went
to his home, from which he only
emerged for a few short walks, until
brought to this city on a special train
on the night of April 5.
lie continued to oversee the work
of his office and through his private
secretary, Louis li. Ilouck. who had
been his running mate on the demo
cratic ticket, transacted considerable
public business, even when unable
to arise from his bed. As soon as his
condition permitted, he was brought
to
Cincinnati. spondim: several

TICK AM A II, Neb. Nearly three
hundred people were crowded into
tho court room to hear the testimony
given in the neadiey muruer pre
liminary trial wherein Jess Headloy,
is accused of killing his father near
Craig, Neb., May 15. On motion of
County Attorney Taylor, Noah P.
Headloy, tho younger boy, was dis
charged as there seemed to be no
evidence whatever that he wbb in any
way connected with the crime.
County Coroner Ward was the iirst
witness called. He testified that he
lirst saw tho dead man '.on the morn
ing of June 0 lying in the water with
one arm fastened to a wire fence in
such a manner as to leave his legs
and trunk partly out of the water,
while his head was completely
covered up. The muscles the face of
and his hair were gone and when the
body was raised out of the water the
skull flew open. Py the time it was
examined there was not a thing left
inside.
Dr. Ward made a thorough cxamin
tion of tho skull and found several
places where small shot had hit it.
He was positive that death was
caused by a shot gun.
Mrs. Headley identilied the cloth
ing as being that of her husband.
Noah Headley tcstilied that he
wps in the iield harrowing, and some
time between 8 and 0 o'clock on tho
morning of May 15, he heard the
sound of a shot over in the direction
of the houso and that Jess did not
come out to work until nearly 11
o'clock.
Victor Johnon, a boy about fifteen,
said lie was in the Hold harrowing
about eighty rods from the Headley
homo on the morning ol May 15 and
that ho saw some one leave tho
Headley homo whom time he took
to be Jess, pushing a handcar over
towards Pell creek.
Sheriff Phipps was the last witness
and he wns asked to repeat the con
versation had between the defendant,
the county attorney and himself in
tho jail on the day following tho
arrest of the two boys. The sub
stance of the conversation was this:
Jess admitted that he killed his
father, that ho did it with a shot gun
ar.d that he dumped the budy into
the creek.
The state and defense both waived
argument and Judge Bar Id: bound
Jess Headley over to the district
court without bail.

WASHINGTON. "Cut loose now
and build tho canal. The American
people want results on tho isthmus
as soon ns'thoy can bu obtained and I
want them. Dig, dig, congress and
tho peoplo are behind us in out
effort."
Within forty-eight hours after the
completion of tho Pannnin canal
legislation President Roosevelt will
issue in effect, tho above order to
Chairman Shouts and Chief Engineer
Stevens.
Tho president expressed dissatis
faction at the action of tho senate in
supporting his plan for a lock canal.
U- has been convinced for several
dayn that tho lock typo would bo
adopted. A careful canvass of tho
senate had boon made and ho was
assured that there would bo a safe
majority in favor of tho lock typo
which he had advocated since the
report of tho engineers' commission
was received.
It was pointed out at tho white
house that practically the same sena
tors who voted against the lock canal
project also were opposed to tho
Panama treaty and so recorded their
votes.
The president regards tho vote of
congress on the lock tpyo of canal as
a vote of confidence. Orders will be
issued in a few days to push the work
as rapidly as possible and it is an
nounced that before tho summer is
far advanced as many men and as
much machinery as can be profitably
employed will be making the dirt lly.
Secretary Taft and Chairman
Shouts of the canal commission. were
also greatly pleased at the outcome
of the struggle in tho senate.
