Gcoigc Morgan, tlic itituclurrr of
eleven year-old Ida (insliell on Iho 3d
of November, 1SS.", In n dilapidated
mill unoccupied house at 180 Ilnlf
Howard street, OiiiiiIi.'i, last Friday
paid the penalty of Ills fi line. Iln met
his end with apparent fearlessness in
tlm Dill ho)c of future spiritual well
being mid without having uttered 11
syllable to indleate guilt or innocence,
at least, so far s his utterances on the
scaffold are eoneerned.
The re)ort of the death watch says
that the eondeimied man passed the
night in a composed slumber that left
him much refreshed to meet the dawn
of his last day of life, lie awoho at 0
a. m., when I ather Peters, the vener
able Catholic priest who has served as
his spiritual advisor, called and held a
conversation of considerable length
with him His conference with the
priest left Morgan in splendid spirits
and he hail soon dressed himself in a
new black suit that had been provided
for the function of the day. lie wore
a frock coat ulth a turn-down collar
nnd black lmv tie. After having com
pleted his toilet with care, he ate the
breakfast thut was brought nlm com
prising eggs, oysters, coffee and bread,
and appeared to be refreshed thereby.
The approaches to the jull wero
guarded by policemen, but in spite of
that fact when the hour for the ordeal
arrived tlm w ailed enclosure, thirty
feet long uml twenty-four feet wide,
was crowded with spectators who had
on one pretext and another scoured
admission.
Upon reaching the scaffold Morgan
nt once placed himself upon the drop,
but a moment later was led to the rail
ing to speak.
It wan dilllciilt for this observer to
conceive that this man was about to
die. He was certainly a fine looking
man, tall, eiect and well formed,
weighing probably ISO or 100 pounds,
with broad high forehead, glossy black
hair and heavy blaelc mustache and a
composure that was truly wonderful.
An ho spoke his voice at timet trem
bled slightly, and his features twitched
perceptibly, but only for a moment.
Hut once or twice did he falter and he
controlled his emotion until he uttered
his last words, which were addressed
an a farewell to his attorney. Then It
was that he burst Into tears and cov
ered his face with his hands, in one of
which he held a crueilix, which ho
placed upon his forehead.
A young ludy seated in a window of
the Jail took down his last words and
witnessed the execution. .lust before
speaking Morgan took out his hand
kerchief and wiped his face. This ha
repeated several times while talking.
Holding aloft the hand containing
the crueilix and looking upward, .Mor
gan exclaimed: "Ah tied is my wit
ness I have told all, and this is my tes
timony that my soul is prepared to go
to heaven Friends, I ask yon all to
pray for me. Farewell, Mr. Patrick."
and a look of anguish overspread his
features.
They were tho last words ho uttered.
"Good-byo. George," came from tho
attorney, who stood near the jail door,
twenty feet away in tho crowd.
The ofllcers laid hold of Morgan anil
directed his steps back upon tho trap.
He folded his arms, tho black cap was
slipped over his bead, bis arms and
legN were, strapped, tho priests mean
while mumbling their olllccs until they
wero interrupted by a snapping sound
as the trap sprang and a hissing of the
ropes as this body shot downward.
The scaffold had done Its work per
fectly. There was not a ipiiver of n
limb nor movement of a muscle. The
erowd surged forward toward tho
scaffold to get a closer view tho sway
ing body. In ten minutes the physi
cians pronounced him dead. The body
was cut down anil turned over to Un
dertaker Taggart. lie fore his death
Morgan had bequeathed his remains to
Father Peters.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
etentren Vrr (Mil Hoy of Oiimlin Tired
of Living.
George ustln, tho seventeen year
old son of .1. V. Austin, clerk in the
Union Paellle freight department at
Omaha, made what is possibly a suc
cessful attempt at suicide Sunday. Tho
family live at 41i!0 Chicago street. The
young man had just arisen in tho
morning but had not drcssrd. His
father hearing shots in his room en
tered and found him sitting on tho bed
with u revolver in his hand, and one
bullet hole over his right eve and an
other In his breast. Tho doctor suys
tho young man cannot live. He had
been suffering from catarrh and was
despondent over his ailment.

T:tiRl1itr n llnler the limtltntlon.
The defeiulents in the Majors man
damus case nt Auburn, tiled their an
swer to tho complaint of the relator
last Saturday, and the hearing was at
once begun before .ludge Stull. The
defendants, who comprise all of the
board of education and all of tho fac
ulty of the Nebraska state normal
school at Peru, Neb., then asked the
court for a continuance of the case for
tho reason that tho defendants could
not jsosslbly get any of their material
witnesses there nt that time. They
were represented in court by President
Kennedy of the board, but answer Is
made in their behalf by Attorney
General .Smyth, who, it was stated,
would conduct the ensc at the trial.
Tho ease was set down for further
hearing on Oct. IS.
In their answer they deny Hint
Thomas A. Majors is a lit or suitable
person to attend this state normal.
They also plead n foi mer adjudication,
and that the court has no jurisdiction
of the subject matter In so far as it re
lates to the state normal school. As
to school district No. ;i, that is, the
schools of the village of Peru, they say
that the right of Thomas A. Majors to
attend has not been considered by
either board or faculty and that their
acts have all been in good faith and
without malice, etc., as alleged in the
complaint. Tho answer admits all
other allegations of the petition of tho
plaintiff.

tARRETT-SCOTT'S BOND.
II Validity Intuited In n 'ii Submitted
to the Court.
II. M. Uttley of O'Neill attended the
session of supremo court Tuesday and
succeeded in having a remitniit of the
llarrett Scott case submitted. Tho
case submitted was tho suit of Holt
county against Scott. Tho validity of
Scott's bond as county treasurer is in
volved and as sjinc of tho sumo points
may nrlso in the case of ex-State Treas
urer Hartley, tho matter is considered
of importance. In tho lower court tho
Scott caso was dismissed by Judgo
Chapman on technicality." Several
names had been ndded to the list of
Scott's original sureties by order of
tho county authorities. Suit was
brought against tho original bonds
men but when tho bond was presented
in court it contained other names than
those mentioned in the petition of this
county. Judgo Chapman gave tho
county attorney an opportunity to
amend his petition, but tho attorney
elected to stand on his pleadings and
tho judge ruled that us n different
bond was presented than the one men
tioned in the pleadings he would have
to dismiss tho suit. Additional bonds
men to ex-State Treasurer Hartley's
onielnl lionil were required by (lover
nor lloleomb and lawyers believe it is
similar in some respects to the Scott
bond, though in Hartley's ease the orig
inal bondsmen are said to lime
signed u statement agreeing to waive
objections on account of additional
(igiiatures.

CbicAoo, Oct !!. Adolph L. Luet
gcrt, tho sausago mal on trial for
tho murder of his wife, i this morn
ing In nn interview in ja
"I hate kept quiet nbout whnt I
thought of tho caso that wns being
made out ngnlnst me expressed no
opinion during the trial bceauso I
thought by so doing I might injuro my
ease. But now 1 will say that In my
opinion the caso of tho state is wholly
built upon lies. Why, Frank Odor
afsky nnd Frank Lcwandowsky, thoso
two Tollncks,' would swenr to any
thing. Thoy arc llurs, pure and simple.
Neither of them worked for mo tho
week ending Mny 1. Clorafsky came
to my factory on Friday, April 30. I
had nothing for him to do, and told
him to come back again on Monday.
He was not nt the factory again, and
all tho ovldcnco ho gave nbout what
he saw and did nt tho factory on Sat
urday, May, 1, was manufactured. I
did try to make so.ip iu that vat. It
is tho absolute truth of the matter
Tho soap washed out of tho vat and I
gave up tho job. I had intended to
hlro three men to scour tho sausage
factory from top to bottom uml put It
in first class shape to bo sold. The
police treated Mary Slommcrlng
shamefully. They bulldozed and
threatened her. They tried it on mo
when I was first placed under arrest,
but I stopped them In short order.
They could not put tne In tho sweat
box. I know my constitutional rights,
and told Inspector Schaaek thnt ho
was not acting In the capacity of a
trial court, anil that I did not
havo to answer any of his
questions. He dropped me then.
Fulbcck, who sworo that Mary
Slemmerlng told him on Friday that
Mrs. Luotgcrt was upstairs in bed, is
a base falsifier, Thut fellow has not
seen a sober day in years. He used to
corao to my factory intoxicated nnd
when I ordered him nwny he'd say:
'Don't drive me away, Luotgcrt;
thrash me.' Ho is nu ingratc. Somo
pcoplo seem to think that Luotgort's
brain is no good. They aro foolish.
I remomber things well." People who
aro under obligations lo mo went on
the witness stand nnd swore against
me. Somo timo in the future 1 may
have something to say to these people.
Mrs. Johanna Lceban, Fred Miller
and Dlcdrlch lllokncse deliberately
falsified when they testified that Mrs.
Luetgcrt always treated hor children
well. How could thoy know? They
only called nt my houso occnsionnlly.
Dr. Dorsoy, the bono expert, is u very
fresh young man. Ho thinks ho
knows all about bones, but in my es
timation Dr. Walter H. Allport hns
forgotten more about osteology
than Dorsoy ever knew. As I have
often said before, I believe my wife
Is still alive. I should not havo
been surprised if she had entered tho
court room any dny during tho long
trial now nenrly over. Sho will bo
heard from yet and thon all the pco
plo who have lied about Luetgcrt will
bo shown up to tho world in their
proper light. I am nn innocent man.
My health and happiness have been
destroyed by an unjust prosecution
and my fortune tho result of years of
toil has been swept away. To-day,
verging on CO years of age", I find my
self almost pouniless and iu tho deep
est trouble that can come to man. I
would l'.I.o to huve told my story to
the jury, but my counsel thought It
better that 1 remain off tho witness
stand. Reluctantly I followed their
advlco. That is nil I havo to say at
this time. 'I

Nkw Yoiik, Oct 11 The most set

Twkaiioma, I. T., Oct. 11. In his
raessago just sent to tho council Green
McCurtaiu, head chief and governor
of the Choctaw Nation, deplored the
demands of the United States govern
ment for a discontinuance of tribal
existence and other changes, but ex
horted tho council to remember that
the United States government was tho
more powerful and could enforco its
demands, If they should not bo ac
ceded to, adding: "In demanding
these changes of us, the government of
the United States really believes that
U will be beneficial to us by promot
ing us to n higher piano of
civilization, but as Indians wo
look at It from a different standpoint
and wo can conceive of no greater
hardship or sacrifice than to givo up
our government, which Is perfectly
satisfactory to us, nnd to which wo
have beeomo attached from long nnd
fond associations. To give up nil of
our cherished customs nnd privileges
seems fatal to us. We can imagine no
worse hardship, but it is Inevitable.
Wo ennnot cheek the change. Let us

LILY LANGTRY'S TRIUMPH.
'Ilia I'rlnre of Wale Itebnke the New
market bteiTiird Amend Made.
London, Oct. II. At Newmarket
last week, nccording to report, the
Prince of Wales noticing Mrs. Lang
try's absence from tho Jockey club in
closure, nsked for nn explanation from
the stewards. Upon this being forth
coming, tho prince dismissed it as
being qulto inadequate in viow of Mrs.
Langtry's position as a horso owner
nnd as a generous supporter of the
turf.
The upshot was, still nccording to
the story, thut Mrs. Langtry was In
vited to resume her usage of tho in
closure, but she, it appears, was an
gry at the munner iu which tho in
vitation was conveyed to her nnd
refused to re-enter tho Inclosure un
less personally invited by ono of tho
stewards. This, it would seem, was
finally done.
Mrs. Langtry denies that sho pro
poses to go to California in November
to bo married to Priuco Hsterhay.
She declares that thero Is no truth in
tho reports of her engagement to tho
prince.
