Country Forges Ahead
Canada is fast recovering from con-
ditions of trade depression. The re-
turns show that the imports and the
exports are increasing over the same
period last year. The imports partic-
ularly show a great improvement
which means that the revenue is ad-
vancing in a corresponding degree.
The Northwest is receiving the very
best class of immigrants. Those from
the United States particularly are
coming in large numbers and they
bring with them personal property
amounting to many millions.
Those people who are making such
a fuss over this murderer Blythe seem
to forget that he killed his wife by
inches, and is intitled to a little suffer-
ing himself, but his suffering is no
comparison to what he used to subject
his unfortunate wife to and ultimately
he beat her life out with a poker.
When the Coroner was called in he
found that the blows from this brute
had cut in to the bone. We cannot
understand why a brute of this order
should have been given a reprieve as
there was no doubt but that he beat
the life out of the one who he had
promised to love, cherish and protect.
Let there be no more tomfoolery over
this scoundrel, but give him the rope
and the sooner the better.
You Must Pay For It
You can have everything you want in
this life if you are ready to pay the price.
There are lots of whiners who go about
complaining about luck being against
them and with the other fellow. These
white -livered loafers have not pluck
enough to take hold of a position, and if
they do, they give it only one or two tugs
and then quit. If you want to make
business a success you must put brains
and hands in it and do it with all your
might what both find to do. There are
people who expect heaven to rain down
opportunities and then help them gather
them into their basket. When you find a
man complaining about his fate or point-
ing to a successful man as a "lucky dog"
put it down that he is no good. There
are as many chances to -day as ever there
was for the man that is willing to work
and pay the price whether it be art, liter-
ature, politics, religion or business.
Will Make for Abolition of Bigotry
The Christain Register in a recent is-
sue says: " It is predicted that by the
middle of the present century one hun-
dred and fifty millions of people will live
in the United States. The constantly in-
creasing facilities for travel, for communi-
cation of ideas and the necessary conduct
of business and social life will make social
and religious exclusiveness more and more
difficult. The physical, social and relig-
ious barriers between Jew and Gentile,
Protestent and Catholic, Anglo-Saxon and
everything else will be worn away, and
finally disappear. The changes that have
taken place within even a quarter of a
century are remarkable. Importations of
foreign blood and religious ideas„instead
of hindering the process, may only cause
its acceleration.”
This is the season when the small boy
takes a dip into a foot of water and two
feet of mud, and returns home with a
blistered hack and sand in his ears.
Negro Murderer Pays the
Penalty on the Gallows
Prisoner Slept Well and Was In-
different About Death—His Crime
Was Particularly Brutal.
Stratford, Ont., June 28.—With a
calmness that surprised the little knot
of spectators, Frank Rogbmond, the,negro
murderer of Mrs. Wm. Peak, of Downie,
who was killed on Sept. 30th last, went to
his death at 5 o'clock this morning.:
Roghmond made no confession, either in
his cell or on the scaffold. So indifferent
did the negro appear to be as to his fate,
that he was sleeping soundly when the
officials entered his cell at 4 o'clock this
morning.
Rev. Dean McGee and Father Arnold,
of St. Joseph's Catholic church, were
with the condemned man for a short time
prior to his execution. Roghmond's ap-
parent indifferent Ever, was possibly
assumed, as, • 't by his physical
condition. TL egro was quite thin,
pounds lighter than at the time of his
trial in May. It is more probable, how-
ever, that confinement brought this result,
as his entire conduct indicates that he was
a degenerate—a mere animal. 1
Despite the fact that Sheriff Magwood
had kept the hour of execution as quiet,
as possible, a large crowd of morbidly
curious spectators 1u -ad gathered by sun-
rise. Even telegraph poles were utilized
by men anxious to see the drop. At one 1
and a half minutes to five o'clock, Hang-
man Radcliffe swung the lever aside,
which opened the trap doors, and dropped ,
Roghmond to his death. Not a move-
ment was discernable in the body five
seconds after the "drop." It was thir-
teen minutes, however, before Jail Sur-
geon S. T. Rutherford pronounced life
extinct.
The customary inquest was conducted
by Dr. J. D. Monteith, coroner, the
verdict being: "Death by dislocation of
the spine and strangulation."
Apart from his emaciated condition, 1
Roghmond was the same indifferent,
simple negro, who, on Sept. 30 last, after
being liberated from the local jail, stole
an overcoat from the police station, walk-,
ed the Goderich track to the Peak home
in Downie Township, and in the cellar of i
the farmhouse, about 2.30 o'clock, assult-
ed and murdered Mrs. Peak, aged 66
years. He then lay down beside his
victim, and was found by George Peak,
son of the murdered woman, an hour later,
and arrested by the Stratford police.
Sentenced on May 5 by Mr. Justice
Riddell to be hanged on June 28, Rogh-
mond maintained his innocence in the
face of irrefutable evidence. During the
last few days of his confinement, however, ,
he became restless, and refused to eat,
and it is rumored that he confessed his
crime to the priests who visited him, but
of the latter naturally refused to talk.:
He walked to the scaffold this morning
with a perfectly indifferent air, though
not in a brazen or defiant spirit. He
made no statement whatever.
His home was down in Quebec.
Thirty persons witnessed the execu-
tion.
Huron House of Refuge
1
The House of Refuge Committee of
Huron County Council reported to the '
Council that the present time the inmates
number 89, all of whom are well content-
ed, and are maintained at a weekly 1
average cost of about $1 each. The
estimated receipts from the House this
year are $2,800 and estimated expendi.
tures $6,800. The by-laws governing the
admission of inmates were amended as
follows: That persons who have been
residents of the county for one year be
admitted in accordance with the by-laws.
That persons who are violently insane,
vagrants of vicious habits and females
under confinement be committed to the
county jail until some suitable place is
procured for t" i.m, or proper provision be
made for the-, i:re and maintainence in
the House of Re:uge, by the erection of a
suitable building, furnishing suitable
quarters for `same. That the by-laws
be amended so that municipalities must
provide each inmate or person committed
with two suits of clothing and undercloth-
ing, and 2 pairs of boots, socks, shirts, etc.
That visitors be received on Thursday of
each week only.
