The axerutlun of Weedmark was remarkable In that it was perhaps the first time In Canada when representatives of the press have, been excluded from an execution. Sheriff MoMartlu holds very strong views on this subject and refused to allow any of the press representatives to witness the hanging. The only actual eye-witnesses. In addition to the sheriff himself, were the Jail surgeon, lr. llaima; Oeorge Kerr and Arch.

Gruham, the two watches; Governor Grant, Turnkey Lee end Rev. H. G. Blundell -and Rev. Canon Mucklestou, the prisoner's spiritual advisers.

The execution was carried out by Hangman Kills, assisted by a man ho gave the name of Georce Gruham of Toronto, but who at the hotel as from Chica-io. The body was cut down HI minutes from the time the trap was spruim'. but in sj minutes the doctor pronounced life extinct. A great crowd of people gathered around the Jail yard, although they could not see anything but the building' and the little black tin if lliilteriiiit In the breeze, the sdent indication that the law had been guilsnVd. Weedmark frequently spoke to the guards and others about his murdered wife, anl expressed treat sorrow lor his crime and the disgrace he had brought on his family.

lie would burst into tour as be spoke of his wrecked life. "If 1 had never tasted Ihpior I would not have come to this end. Whiskey was the cauw of the murder; was the cause of all my troubles. Kverv iimii'-irel in the family we ever had was brought about bv drink. Goil knows how sorrv I am." Sin was his parting statement to the Jailers and others who had shown consideration for him while coullned In the Jail.

lie admitted that Ills Sentence was right and Just, but seemed to feel keenly the disgrace which it indicted op his Innocent family. Kxtremely pathetic was the larting scene between Weedmark and his children. Hefore his daughters left yesterday afternoon his youngest child. aed six, climbed Uvon the knees of her doomed rather and, looking into his fare, asked: "Why don't you come home with us?" The interview lasted as long as the women and children could stand the strain. They were Anally led nwaj weeping, while the law'B victim sat on the edge of his bed, stunned with his overwhelming sorrow.

You tell me thut a public vote Is to be taken as to tiie ijuestlun of chiinxinif the name.

Accept the charge Joyously and proudly, and go forward as tint, the only city officially recognized as capable of freezing out the United, states, and giving tiie continent coin feet, and let uh, examine the sound of the present name, Hat. '1 have not my maps by me, but I seem to reniemner a tew of tiie places acniiis the noi iier sin as Schenectady, I'o-dunk, Sihorie, Poughkecpsie, ioiomac, Coboes, Janawanda, (inenoto, all ol which are rather curious to the outsider, but time and the lives of men have sanctltied the queer syllables with numories and associations for millions of our fellow creatures "Knee these inures were young and new, and In the proress of making themselves, that is to say, they were wnich duty they fulfilled In handling I their itios Intact, and Medicine Hat is toduy not an uncestor, nor u. derivative, nor a collateral, but the founder of a lino.

To my mind, the name of Medicinu Hat has an advantage over all the names I have quoted. It echoes as you Justly put it the old und lilacktoot tradition of red mystery and romam thut mice tilled the prairies, of iis bcnchtH 1 venture to think of the nuigic that underlies the city in tiie shape of your natural tsaa.

It has no duplicate in the world; it makes men aK questions, and as I know more than twenty ears ago, draws the feet of the young men toward it.

It has the qualities of uniqueness, Individuality, assertion and power. Above all It Is tile lawful original, and to change it would be to disgust and dishearten old timers, not in the city alone, but the woiij over, and to advertise abroad the i-itys lack of fuith in Men do noi think much of a family which has risen In the world changing Its mime for social reasons. They think still less of a man who, because he is successful, repudiates the wife who siood by him In his early struggles. I do not know what 1 should say. but I have the clereat notion of what I should think of a town that would go back on itself.

In writing to you, I have taken a liberty which, to men who have known the cliy for several months or perhaps three years, must seem Inexcusable. Weak Arguments. "In conclusion.

It strikes nie that the two arguments put forward for the change of name are almost equally bud; the second is, perhaps, a shade more than the first. In the first case the town would change Its name for fear of being laughed at; In the second it sells Its name in the hope of making more money under an or, ns the Calgary Herald writes, for the sake of a mime that 'has a sound like the name of a man's best girl and looks like business at the head of a tinnnriul Hut a man's city is a trifle more than a man's best girl.
