CHICAGO, Dec. 20. "A man cannot
kill hen in Sphinx county, S, Oak. for
his sick wife without violating the
law, is the way William Broakans. a
lawyer of Redheld, S., Oak, now in
this city, expressed himself concerning
the deplorabe condition of the farmers
in the county he mentioned He ex-
planned that this state of affairs grows
out of the fact that 80 per cent. Of the
real estate and nearly all of the chattels
in Sphinx county are mortgaged, The
killing of any mortgaged animal is a
violation of the law The situation is
serious; many families are leaving, and
others would go, but are without the
necessary means. He says hundreds of
families have not provisions enough TO
last for a week;they have no money, and
no credit There is little fuel on hand,
and scarcely any hay or straw to burn.
Should a severe winter set in the result
would be awful Mr. Broakans de-
clared that these facts were carefully
concealed by real estate boomers, who
had gone so far as to falsify statistics.

Sharkey and Henry Popp were hanged
in the annex of the penitentiary shortly

key was the first to go. He was slowly
strangled Popp died without strug-
gle. Sharkey protested his innocence
to the last. He professed conversion to
the Catholic faith ard was baptized
Thursday evening.
Smith Again Respited.
1t was thought Isaac Smith would
also be executed, but the governor re-
prieved him until March 20, 1891.
SharEey's Crime.
Caroline Sharkeywas murdered at her
home in Eaton, o.. Jan II, 1889, some
time during the night. Her son, Elmer,
aged %, was at once suspected and ar
rested The poor woman's skull had
been crushed with a maui, which was
found near by. The son at first claimed
that he heard some one in the house,
and jumped through a window, going
at once to alarm the neighbors. He
was arrested as he was leaving the
church to attend the interment of his
mothers body, and shortly afterward
confessed.
The defense in his case was hereditary
insanity, but it was shown that the
motive for the crime was his desire to
marry young girl Of the neighborhood
named Annie Straw to whom his
mother objected, and in order to fulfill
his wishes he wanted possession Of the
farm, which he inherited after the old
lady's death. He was twice convicted
of murder III the first degree, the titst
time at Eaton, and, and, securing a
new trial and change Of venue, again at
Hamilton, Butler county. He was twice
respited through the efforts Of his at
torney, Mr.. Z. N. Marsh, Of Eaton.
Sharliey claimed that the confe, sion
was extorted from him by fear Of lynch
ing, and was not true.
Popp's Crime.
Henry Popp was looked upon as an
ignorant German youth, scarcely able
to speak the English language peace
able when sober, but quaTTelsome and
vicious when under the influence of
liquor. His crime was the killing of
saloon keeper named Moritz Grether,
at Canton, o., ON April last. He had
twice been elected from the place, and,
repairing to another saloon near by,
pulled ont a knife and announced his
intention of returning and killing the
proprietor should he again be put out.
AS he entered the saloon for the third
time the owner once more ordered him
to leave. when, Selling him around the
neck, Popp drew the knife across
Grether's throat, almost severihg the
mans head from his body His only
defense was that he was crazed with
liquor, and in such a state from a con-
tinuous spree that he was incapable of
a trt tirncr tnnl11.lnt.

BRANDON q BARKsDALE. PROPS.
Doctor Kelley on the stump.


Much has been said end expected
Of DIR. Kelley, the prohibition candi-
date for Governor, because of his ac-
knOwledged ability as a pulpit orator,
but the press generally are reporting
his campaign speeches as far short
of public expectation. He spoke at
Union City last week. Editor Tatum
of the Democrat who is an able, capa-
bic and just critic, has the following
to say which we extract from his
criticism:
Having nothing to conceal and no
purpose to serve except to give our
readers the truth as we are able to
understand ii we have this comment
to make. DIR. Kelley's speech is not
what we expected it to be. 1t was
not what his more intelligen; follow
ers expected it TO be. He did not
sustain his reputation as an able
speaker and showed plainly that
whatever his learning or pulpit pow
ers he is not a success as an effective
political speaker. The intelligent
Judge of speech will admit, if he is
honest in his expression, that DIR.
Kplley's speech was very lame and
ordinary, and far below what might
be reasonable expected of one of his
learning and ability. His chief eff
forts were directed against DemOc-
racy and he had very little to say
against republicanism. The dullest
nearer noticed that. We had thought
to give synopsis of his speech but
its interest is hardly worth the space.
His criticisms of the Democratic
party were in some degree merited
but were too One-sided to be fair.
His remarks on the tariff were I'm
worthy of an honest speaker who is
thoroughly acquainted with his sub
iect. AS has been said of another his
speech contained much that was
original and much that was good
but the good was not original and the
original was not good.
DIR. Kelley is a brave, honest, sin
cere man we do not doubt. We be-
lieve him when he says that he has
no desire to be Governor. 1t might
be added that he is in no imminent
danger of occupying that office. lie
is simply fighting for principle he
believes to be right and he is the
kind of a man who would die in de-
tense of a principle. lie has no hope
of success, which is sufficient evil
dence that he is not after Office. 1t is
II matter of regret that such man
should see fit to become the virtual
ally Of the Republican party and en-
gage in Il contest which means not
success to the cause he advocates, but
damage to the party he claims to be-
lieVc in.
