The modesty OF Manager Moore of the
Western Union Office in Eufaula, Ala, who
received the message from Gov. Gordon re.
spiting the condemned murder, Louis
Moore, for twenty days from last Thursday,
has kept a thrilling incident out of print.
The story Of the respite and the difficulties
under which it reached its beneficiary is
quite sensational, and is given in full for
tie first time, as folloWs:
On the morning of the execution, Thurs-
day last, in Georgetown, Ga, two miles
across the river from Eufaula, number Of
prominent citizens wired Gov. Gordon ask.
ing for respite of twenty days. The mes
sage was received in Atlanta at 1880 and
Lewis was to be hanged between IL and
IL O'Clock. at II o'clock precisely Gov.
Gordon read the message and Immediately
sent to the telegraph oflce in Atlanta the
following:

The message was sent from the Atlanta
Office at 1l:10 to Augusta, via which point
messages from Atlanta. are usually sent to
Eufaula. The wire between Augusta and
Eufaula was down The message was sent
back 10 Atlanta and at once flashed to
Montgomery, where it was received at Ills.
The wire between Montgomery and Eu
faula was luckily all right, and the message
was received by Mr. Moore at 1l;19. 1t had
to be copied and undergo the usual routine
of Office manipulation, and no messenger
was to be had. Manager Moore took the
message, and leaving Miss Richter, an &C.
cJmplIshed operator, In charge, hurried to
the livery stables, where one solitary horse
remained, everything having been engaged
by parties going over to witness the hang.

Manager Moore, realizing tho Importance of
the message and the value of time in con-
suming the distance, vaulted into the SAD
die, and, urging the animal to his speed,
went away on the wind Cor two-mile ride
TO Georgetown.
1t was 11:25 when no mounted the horse
and Moore was to hang at II. The eXeCu
zion could not be delayed beyond that time.
Away fed the manager.messenger with the
document that extended the life of s human
being if he could but arrive 10 time. Through

was and what the result if the girth should
break, if the horse sho1ld stumble! On they

Brave horse and rider rose up over the hill,
and the cry rang out "Don't hang him!

after leaving Euleula, the message of liber

The beautiful plant, the moon flower,
is rapidly coming into favor with ladies,
and those who have them are now enjoy
ing their beauty and fragrance. 1t is
pure white, circular and about four inches
in diameter and very fragrant during the
night. 1t blooms only in the evening and
on cloudy days. One OF the greatest at
fractions is its blooming. About sun,
down the buds begin to unfold and in q
moment or two it bursts quickly into its
full-grown beauty. The leaves resemble
morning glory and make dense shade
1t is very prolific and vine during thu
evening looks as if it had been snowee
on. The flowers last but a short TINT
and the morning sun willis them away.

rather reserved, yet having once obtained
his confidence, he was one of the firmest
and staunchest of friends. His most
prominent Characteristic was his generos-

ROCK ISLAND, Sept. 8.-The mud holes
in front of some of the finest and best
buildings on Second avenue are q dis
grace to the city. What must strangers
in our city think of the miserable and
dangerous condition of our sidewalks at
present? Mr.. Porter Skinner seems to be
one of the very few property holders
along Second avenue who have suffi>
cient pride in public appearances
and welfare to lay handsome
and substantial walk such as
would be a credit to any city. Other
owners of business blocks on that thor
oughfare should follow Mr.. SINNERS ex.
ample. and not put off for Chicago
syndicate to come and help, and make
these improvements, 80 essential to the
upbuilding Of the city. The only way to
keep trade from going elsewhere is to i'm.
prove our own streets and sidewalks. fil
up the holes and show some enterprise,
especially on Second avenue, the leading
thoroughfsre of the city. Boom.

Ten men in Illinois contributed this
year to the work of the state executive
committee of the Y. M. C. A. to the tune
of about $4,000. each one giving 500
and upwards. Its a rather significant
fact of the value the work sttains In the
estimation Of these men, when they give
so generously to the general phase of it .
As matter of course each of these are
shrewd business men who know how to
accumulate. and it would seem. know
how to give. Several Of these ten men
will be in attendance upon the coming
state convention, Sept. 10 %.
