at Maeola to Clear I'm u
Aceamalatlea of Old
Baslaess.
(From a Staff .Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 0. (Special.) Gover
nor Sheldon returned today from Washing
ton more than pleased with his efforts to
obtain modifications In the government
cattle quarantine covering .Nebraska. He
will soon issue a proclamation to take the
place of the one issued several months
ago, but there will be little, difference be
tween the two decumeirt's. The dividing
line between the western division, which Is
to remain under quarantine, and the east
ern division Is the same as that outlined
by State Veterinarian McKIm and Governor
Sheldon after they had Obtained reports
from counties In regard to the existence
of scabies in cattle.
In the way of spectacles nothing im
pressed the governor more than the drill
and rough riding of the United States cav
alry at Fort'Moyer, where more wonderful
feats of horsemanship are performed than
are ever Seen In any circus or wild west
shows.
Lneutenant Governor oHpewell of Te
kamah was at the executive office this
morning in the capacity of acting governor
until the arrival of Governor Sheldon.
Patrons Ask for a Depot. ,
Joseph Marshall, a stock raiser and stock
feeder, living near the station of Darr,
today filed a complaint with the railway
commission asking that the Union Pacific
road be compelled to build a depot, stock
yards and chutes and keep an agent or
telegraph operator at that place. Darr Is
an unincorporated village eight miles west
of Lexington and seven miles east of Cozad.
Mr. Marshall says stockmen are compelled
to drive their stock either to Lexington or
Cazod to lead for shipment to the market.
He says the company has refused to pro
vide facilities that are greatly needed. In
the last twelve months there have been
fed and fattened In that vicinity more than
W cars of cattle, sheep and hogs and more
than fifty cars of stock are now being fed.
Special Seaaloa of Court.
The Nebraska supreme court, at the re
quest of Attorney General Thompson, will
hold a special session Wednesday -to listen
to arrangements In the litigation of the
state agalnst-the express companies. The

BROKEN BOW. Neb.. March M.-Spe-clal.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury,
on the body of John Sanderson, who shot
and Instantly killed early Saturday even
ing by James Carland. is in part as follows:
"That said John Sanderson came to his
death by reason of two gun shot wounds
Inflicted On him by James Carland with
a revolver, and ' that said shootlna- was
feloniously dona." The trouble between
Carland and Sanderson, which was of a
domestlo nature, was of long standing and
had been festering for quite a while. When
the two men cam together in front of the
tuuia. witnesses testified that Carland
seemed to be forcing the quarrel and that
he flourished his weapon ia Sanderson's
face several seconds before firing the fatal
thuii tfeoa he fiouuosncod akaotuuj and
Bandnrson dropped to the sidewalk, never
moving in any way after he bad fallen.
Mac a Damage r Prairie Fire.
MULLEN, Neb,. March . Special.)
The Burlington railroad la causing great
damage by fire In this section of the sand
hills country and nearly one-half the land
along the right-of-way has been burned
over. A blase that started at Kelso, six
miles east of here, burned a strip of coun
try eight miles wide south to the Dismal
river, nearly thirty miles long. Despite the
hard fighting of the citizens In that lo
cality the flames swept merrily on, leav
ing destruction, misery and homeless home
steaders In Its wake. Quite a number of
stock Is reported to have perished, but the
heaviest loss to one man befell yh new
Klnkalder by the name of Nelson, who
lost his home, two cows, chickens, a set
of harness, hay alt he had on earth except
his family and two Horses. There Is a
strong bearing toward criminal careless
ness on the part of the railroad In string
ing out these fires and there is also great
need for the strong arm of the law to
bear down heavily on this class of trans
gressors.

that time that he had been merely passing
through the city and had alightsd from
the train to get something to eat when hs
was arrested.
Sam was discharged Saturday and, It
appears, celebrated the regaining of his
freedom by taking several drinks and then
taking several more. The court discharged
him again Monday, but warned him that

By a vote Of six to five tha committee of
ths whole of the city council Monday after
noon recommended that the ordinances pro
hibiting lunch wagons and restricting fruit
carts bo put in force April 1. Ordinances
repealing were voted down by the votes of
McGovern, Brucker, Elsasser, Hansen,
Sheldon and Bedford; Zimman, Funk
houser. Bridges, Jackson and Davis voting
for the repealing ordinances.
Under the ordinances passed last No
vember and sustained by vote of ths com
mittee of the whole lunch wagons will be
prohibited from the streets of Omaha at
all hours after April 1 and no push carts
offering fruits and vegetables for sale will
be permitted within a prbscrlbed district
Including almost the entire business , sec
tion. Zimman, Funkhouser and Bridges all
spoke against the ordinance and took the
part of the lunch wagon people and fruit
venders. Zimman declared that BOO men
would be affected by sustaining the ordi
nances and that it would be better to regu
late them than prohibit them altogether.
Funkhouser said he thought it wss unfair
to invite these people to come here and
then "shut the door of opportunity in their
faces." and Bridges thought the "little fel
lows" ought to have a right to live, for the
world owes every man a living. McGovern
of the council, F. E. 8anborn of the Com
mercial club and Charles C. Belden spoke
against the wagons, declaring that the tax
payers should bo protected and that It was
an Injustice to the buslneas men to allow
ths push carts to remain on tha streets.
An ordlnancemaklng more stringent rules

report waa recommended tor passage, as
waa also the condemnation of a long list

GILLETTE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Murderer of Grace Brown Keeps His
Composure to Last
HE FIN ALLY ADMITS BIS GUILT
Last itateraeat to Balrltaal Advisers
IaeUcatea that Ho Legal Error
Waa Made la the
Caae.
ALBANT. N. T., March 9f,-Chester K.
Gillette today paid tha full penalty of the
brutal murder of Grace Brown. He went
to his death In the electric chair at Auburn
prslon without a sign of weakness and with
the same lack of emotion which has char
acterised him from the day he was ar
rested charged with the crime.
Gillette appeared to have been fully rec
onciled to his fate, and In a statement
given out by his spiritual advisers im
mediately after the execution,' It Is In
dlcated that he had made a confession of
his guilt. This statement waa signed by
the Rev. Henry Mcllravy of Little Falls
and the Rev. Cordello HerrlcW the prison
chaplain, who had attended Gillette since
he has been In the death cell at the prison.
It was as follows:
Because our relationship with Chester E.
Gillette was privileged, we do not deem It
wise to make a detailed statement and
simply wish to say that no legal mistake
was made in his electrocution."
Appeal to Yean Men.
Gillette himself, so far as the publlo was
concerned, never admitted his crime. His
last words in the form of a statement,
which he prepared with painstaking care
last night, was made public after he had
been put to death this morning. In this
statement Gillette Implored young men to
lead Christian lives.
Any fear which the prison officials may
have entertained that Gillette's remarkable
composure would desert him at the last
moment waa quickly dispelled when he
stepped from his cell to the corridor lead
ing to the death chamber. His step was
firm and strong and he walked rapidly to
ward the Instrument of death. Not 'even
by the quiver of an eye lash did he betray
the least sign of emotion and at no stage
did he require assistance from the keepers
and his spiritual advisesrs who accom
panied htm In his last walk. He seated
himself in the chair, the atraps and elec
trodes were placed and within two minutes
Gillette has been officially pronounced
dead.
Mother Resigned to Ilesolt.
Mrs. Gillette, mother of Chester, made a
statement today, in part as follows:
Though it Is a very hard thing for me
to feci Chester was responsible -for Grace
Brown's death, yet It waa the wish ex
pressed to him continually by me that If
he was guilty he should say so before the
world and that In his triumphant death I
feel that God has answered my dearest
wish snd prayer. 1
And I am also so thankful to know that
he did not strike Grace Brown, as de
scribed by the prosecution. A full account
will never be given out, for he did not
strike Grace Brown..
I feel that he ahould have had another
trial, where he could have had an oppor
tunity before an unprejudiced court and
Jury and where fair statements could have
been made and considered, but my boy was
ready to go and I have nothing to say
against Governor Hughes' decision. I
think he derided what he thinks is Just,
but he has shown no mercy.
God has not failed us, and He never will
those who trust him. I trust that there
will be a strong protest against capital
punishment in this that a young life re
cently given to God has been cut off by
the law when it might have been spared
to be useful to the world In one -Df the
darkest places of that world a peniten
tiary. Strangers all through the United States
have become trlends In this hour of trouble,
and to them, through the press, we, as
parents, brothers snd sisters, wish to ex
press our appreciation and thanks. They
have helped us to bear the heavy burden
which haa fallen upon ua.

THE ST. REGIS, NEW YORK
t '
Every Requirement ol Comfort Found
at This Favorite Eotel.
ATTENTION TO LITTLE DETAILS
The sum of human happiness Is made up
of little things. Particularly is this true
in regard to life in a great modem hotel.
Marble halls and elegant upholsteries,
costly statuary snd artistic decorations are
all very well In their way, but such com
monplace things as good food, pure air,
cleanliness and courteous, attentive service
add far more to one's comfort and con
tentment. -
In Hotel St. Regis. New York, ths lux
urlous and the Commonplace are happily
combined and solicitous attention to minute
details and thoughtfulneas in matters of
seemingly small moment Is a distinguish
ing characteristic Nowhere else is put
forth such an elaborate and sustained ef
fort to please.
The St. Regis Is not only the focus of
the social and fashionable life of the me
tropolis and the rendezvous of men and
women prominent in State and national af
fairs, but is also the favorite stopping place
with a largo class of business men who
regulsrly visit New York "as well as of
thousands of pleasure seekers who go there
occasionally to catch atep with the times.
For a restful and thoroughly enjoyable
transit home the St. Regis has become ths
first choice of discriminating people be
cause It offers comforts and conveniences
unattainable elsewhere amid the most re
fined surroundings.
Another feature which is now becoming
understood by the publlo Is that moderate
restaurant and room charges prevail there.
A large, beautifully-furnished room may be
had for $4 a day. the same alth bath for
B ($6 for two people or a Parlor, bedroom

Mlsa Stanton Is a quiet, unassuming girl
who haa been with them some time and
understands the buslneas and is on good
term with her father and stepmother
who visit her frequently. She Is not locat
ing for notoriety in the case and says
she is anxious to keep her affair quiet
She saya she knows !lttle cf her mother,
but has written to find out more about
her.
The aon, 'whom Mrs. Miller also seeks
to find, ia not in Omaha and Miss Stan
ton does hot know where he Is; in fact she
says she hsd forgotten all about him or
that she had a brother.
