Sedalia Evening Democrat NEW SERIES. SEDALIA, MISSOURI, TUESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 29 1901. PENALTY IS PAID. Leon P. Czolgosz Electrocuted This Morning.

HE CURSED THE PRIEST. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Died Unrepeutaut and Would Not Dig' cuss the Assassination oi President McKinley. Special to the DEMOCriAT A lbany N.Y.,Oct. Czolgosz, the convicted anarchist, who murdered President McKinley during a public reception at the Buffalo exposition last month, was electrocuted at 7:15 this morning.

The murderer entered the death chamber at 7 the preliminaries were soon over with and the blackeaed soul of the cold-blooded murderer was speedily sent to meet its Maker. The murderer passed his last night on earth quietly. He slept nearly all night, but awoke at 4 145 this morning From the time of his awakening his remaining hours were spent in abject terror. He complained of the noise made in adjusting the electric chair, which seemed to annoy him greatly. The death watch was set at 7 last night, one of the keepers in the cell with the murderer and the other being stationed just outside.

Physicians visited Czolgosz this morning to ascertain his physical and mental condition. They found him fuifering from extreme nervousness. Cold sweat enveloped the murderer his eyes glared and dilated; he shivered constantly; he was suffering the tortures of death, but no complete breakdown had appeared, and the physicians reported that a collapse was not probabje. Tee prisoner weighed 155 pounds, and showed a gain in flesh since his imprisonment. When placed in the death chair he wore black trousers, gray shirt, gray hose, no undershirt or shoes.

Czolgosz talked to witnesses while being strapped to the chair. He said he was not sorry for the crime he had committed, but sorry he did not see his father. Seventeen hundred volts passed through his body. Three shocks were given. He was pronounced dead in four and one-half minutes.

The autopsy showed that the brain of the murderer was normal. He died unrepentant, and last night cursed the priest who had been visiting him. Regarding the awful crime he had committed he said he had nothing to say. His brother visited him last night, but the murderer refused to answer his last farewell. The state is not to suneader possession of the body and by sundown it will have been secretly interred in ground controlled by the ofiicials of Auburn prison.

Waldeck Czolgosz, brother of the murderer, foreseeing endless difficulties and possibly angiy demonstrations the result of an attempt to give the body ordinary burial, heeded the advice of Superintendent of State Prisons Collins and Warden Mead and formally relinquished all claim to it. He merely stipulated that, at the close of the autopsy, all parts of the body should be buried. All chance of an unhappy to the execution, either in displays of popular contempt or the exhibition of ghastly relics, is, therefore, finally prevented The plan of burning his clothing and pa'pers will be carried out immediately. orders for his complete seclusion. These orders were carefully carried out, and from the time the prisoner entered the prison until he was brought to the death chair this morning he was practically out of public view.

Puring his imprisonment the post brought more than 1,500 letters, papers and to the prisoner, but none of these was ever to him. They came from the army of letter writing cranks, and were of every character, from harmless to vie ous. The prison officials felt that the delivery of such a quantity of mail would not only seriously disturb him, but would have given him false ideas as to his importance and prominence. The other convicts in the death house were not permitted to talk to him, and the guards who kept the death vigil watched in unbroken silence. The seclusion of the prisoner operated both ways, for if the world went on in ignorance of the life of the prisoner from day to the prisoner lived in ignorance of what went forward in the world, even to the great question affecting him.

The rule of silence as to the prisoner was broken that he might have opportunity to prepare himself spiritually for his death. The rule was also broken in a final effort to secure a confession from the condemned mao. The prison officials felt that it was their duty to seek again to ascertain if others plotted with him or abetted him in the murderous plan he carried out at Buffalo. Early in October Superintendent Collins had a lengthy interview with him. Night was chosen for the inquiry, and at 9 the called on Czolgosz The prisoner was transferred to aoDther part of the prison, where there was no one to overhear the conversation.

For the first few minutes Czolgofz sat in silence, and the superintendent began to despair of getting any information. Finally, just as he was about to answered one of his queries. From that time on he talked freely, but his utterances contained no enlightenment as to the cause for his crime or a possible conspiracy. The moat important statement he made was one in which he absolutely denied that he had a handkerchief tied about his hand or that the pistol was concealed in any other place than his coat pocket.

A uburn Oct.29 was a carefully secluded prisoner in Auburn peoitentiary, and his confinement and execution were devoid of sensationalism. State Superintendent of Prisons Cornelius V. Collins was determined that the prisoner, despite tlie enormity of bis crime, should gain no undue notoriety, and issued strict Superintendent Andrews, of the Sedalia Water company, with a force of men and a steam pump, proceeded today to make a further test of the capacity of the deep well at Forest park. The pump at noon was throwing out about 160 gallons of water per minute, and though running at about that capacity for hours had apparently no effect upon the quantity of water in the well. Indeed the supply streams running into the well seem to grow stronger with the pumping.

Should the expected rains fail to materialize, this addition to the water supply of the city will help materially. The water from the deep well was at first highly impregnated with sulphur, but has become purer as the pumping proceeded. Fought All the Way to Jail. Annie Robinson, colored, was sentenced to twenty days in the county iii this morning by Judge Kinsey, on the charge of disturbing the peace of Alice Ferry, colored. As the woman was being taken to jail she assaulted Ahce Perry at the foot of the stairs leading from the court room, and then fought the officers all the way to jail.

Will Leave Sedalia. Irvin Mills has resigned his position as pharmacist at the Arlington, to be effective November i. He will probably take a position with the Mallincrodt Chemical company, of St. Louis. Since he has resided in this city Mr.

Mills has made many friends, who will regret his departure and who will wish him success wherever he may decide to locate. Will Entertain At Cards. Miss Mary Glass will entertain a company of friends at cards tonight, complimentary to her guest, Miss Helen Riley, of Kansas City. A staff correspondent of the New York Dry Goods Economist, writing from St. Louis of the condition of trade and of the opportunities offered manufacturers to find a ready market for their outputs, has the following that is especial importance to Sedalia just at this time.

There is room right here in Sedalia for several lines of manufacturing such as are referred to in the article quoted below, and made here the goods could go even quicker and more cheaply to fill the demand in the south and southwest than if maoufdctured in St. Louis. The St. Louis jobbers for years to come would probably take the entire output of a dozen Sedalia factories each employing from one hundred to five hundred operators. The Economist is one phase, or rather condition, of tl St.

Louis market that should be brought to the attention of every manufacturer, and every agent in the east who has the cripital to bis production and die desire to widen his outlet. This is the overgrown condition of this market, the market of the southwest use the word overgrown advisedly, for the demand in this market in the last two or three years has outgrown the local sources of supply. 1 he prosperity of the south has been so great in the past two years as to largely in- cre.ase the amount of goods annually coDsumei in the territory tributary to St. Louis. That this amount is fully double that of three or four years back is a conservative stateme at.

St. Louis has been trying her best to supply this demand, but in several lines of merchandise has found her facilities entirely jradequate. Trade is leaving this market every day because visiting merchants and buyers cannot get the goods in certain lines that they want, while the houses handling and the making these goods could do 50, 60 or 100 per cent, more than they are doing today if they had the facilities for turning them out. condition is not a theory but a fact, as a detailed statement will show. lines in which this market is most inadequately represented are clothing, clothing, silk and cotton suits and separate skirts, muslin underwear, and cloaks, suits and dresses, shirts and overalls, and working shirts aad jumpers.

Specialty lines in ribbons, would also do well. or two instances will serve to show how badly the market in these lines is overworked. There are eight concerns here making cloaks and suits. Every one is up to its eyes in business. Each admits ic could do more business if it could turn out the goods, while all of them have been turning down orders because they see it is impossible to get out the goods on time.

These lines are not particularly high-grade, but the people want the goods and must have them. in these lines is going right through St. Louis every day, because it cannot get all the goods it wants right here. It would stop and buy here could it but be supplied. are three or four concerns making shirts.

Ail are from one month to three behind on their orders. One manu facturer is making an addition to his factory, which will have twice the capacity of his present one, and hopes thereby to catch up and keep up with his orders. He is doing this business without making any special effort to get it. He has stopped all forms of advertising until his new factory is completed, because under present con- Saved. Buy our Guarantee!

He is increasing his factory capacity as rapidly as his accumulations will permit him to, but he ill not take in outside capital because he wants the entire business to himself. clothing manufacturer is in exactly this same condition. He will not take in outside capital to increiise his plant, and will not buy outside goods to help out his own lines, because that would him down to the level of a are several concerns here making silk and wash waists, but not of a high grade. Still, they sell the goods and would sell more if they could get them out. is a great opportunity here for eastern manufaciurers and agents who will take the trouble to investigate the matter.

The sooner they take it up the better it will be for them. The spring and fall seasons of 1902 will be big here, jind the seasons of 1903 will, in all probability be a great deal bigger. It is hardly necessary to add that the man who gets here first will get the cream of the business; and he will hold it if he handles it in the right way. it be clearly understood that the manufacturer who limits his enterprise to placing a line of samples here, on which to take orders to be delivered from the east, will not fill the What the trade wants is the goods right here in St. Louis, to be delivered on short notice.

The merchants of the southwest cannot afford to carry large stocks of these specialty lines, and when they order goods they want them at once.
