OrrIck to Hang October 31st.

The Orrick execution is set for October
31st. After two trials, and two hearings in
the Supreme Court, his fate is finally sealed.
After almost three years. delay, the law de-
clares that he has to pay for his crime with
his life.
The Supreme Court held that the act Great
ing the Piedmont Court was constitutional;
the act taking Wayne county from the 23d
and joining it to this circuit went into effect
before November list, 1889. The trial court
committed no error in finding that Monroe
Gill" and "Nm. NJ. Gill" were the same man
and that either name attached to the indict-
ment as foreman of the grand jury would be
lawful; that there was sufficient evidence
upon which to base an instruction that the
Jury might find defendant guilty if they
found that he did not fire the fatal shot, but
was present aiding and abetting him who
did, and that such finding would not be dis
turbed; and, that even in capital cases,
where there was a separation of the jury, if
the State showed that defendant was not
prejudiced by such separation, there was no
ground for new trial.
This closes the legal fight in this celebrat-
ed case, and unless the Governor interferes
and commutes the punishment awarded,
Saturday, October 3lst, will see the closing
scene of the tragedy.

Death of Mrs. PreciiIla Fitzpatrick.

Precilia Carly was born September 18th
1929, in Reynolds county Missouri. She
married Mr.. W. z. Fitzpatrick, November
18th, 1852. She died at the residence of her
| SON. in law, Mr.. James Cuthbert, at 2lS Clay
Street, Topeka, Kansas, September 18th.
1891. The funeral services were held at the
house Sunday afternoon, September goth,
and she was buried in Mr.. Cuthbert's lot in
the Topeka cemetery.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick became a member Of the
Belleview Baptist church in September,
1858, and was an esteemed communicate of
the same church thlrty-eight years, until
her death. For three years she suffered
from tumor. 1t becoming evident that her
sufferlngs must soon end in death, unless
relief could be had, she courageously decided
to submit to an operation. knowing that the
result was very doubtful. She came only
ten days before her death to be with her only
child, Mrs. James Cuthbert of Topeka. and
there underwent the operation. She ap-
peared to rally from it, and was calm, free
from pain, and quietly awaited the result.
AS her strength diminished and the end evil
IDENTITY approached, she was full of tender
care for her husband and daughter to be
soon bereaved, apparently thinking not at
all of herself, endeayoring to cheer and COM
fort the dear ones. Her faith in her Re-
deemer prevented any fear and lifted her
spirit into the Region of Peace. In this
Christike spirit, like Him who upon the
cross thought of others, she passed the last
few quiet days, and gently fell asleep. Her
husband did not reach Topeka until after
the end had come. The loving and faithful
wife and mother, after a life filled with good
ness and kindness, left the home on earth
desolate. But we know that she dwells
in light in the better land, where the be-
reaved ones shall, one by one, come to her
again, and, in some fairer mansion of that
happy cline, await their entrance into a
home from which they shall never more go
out for ever.

The best news we have heard for many
days is that Watt Imboden of Piedmont has
been appointed collector Of Wayne county in
place of Wiley Daniels, deceased. Mr.. I'M
bOden is one of the best men in Wayne cOun-
ty, and fully competent TO take charge of the
office.
Our town was thrown into wild excite
ment last night by the sound and rocking of
the earthquake. Some thought 1t was rob-

not be repeated again, as we don't want to
witness such an earthquake as was 1911.
The railroad company has concluded to
choke off Des Arc entirely from the outside
world. They are fencing our streets, walks,
etc, and we cannot go TO the post Off &c
without climbing oyer wire fences; and why
claim they are not liable for stock killed on
switch limits, and we can testify to this from
experience. We shall look INTO this matter
and see if they have right to fence US out.

There has been quite discussion on sacti-
tication in our town of late and several SER
mons preached on it. l Will quote what
Bishop Wilson has to say about it before the
Methodist Conference now in session at
Sikeston. He said he never knew preacher
to run on this line that he did not get up
strife in his church. He also said that men
who preached this theory discounted the
doctrine of justification and spoke falsely of
God and his doctrine, and it made a pro-
found impression on the Conference. l fully
agree with Bishop Wilson, for man cannot
have dealings with his fellow man without
more or less trouble, especially saw mill men.

great service to the public-not even the
far-famed inspector Byrnes of New York.
Born in Hancock county, H.. in 1889, he
secured himself a good education by hard
work and privation. He is graduate of
Monmouth college, ana his earliest years
OF active life were divided between teaching
in his alma mater and editing local news
paper. When the war broke out he en-
listed as private in the One Hundred and
Eighteenth Illinois regiment. wars speedily
elected captain, was commissioned major
at the age of %, and was only stopped at
that rank by the failure of his health and
his consequent return TO depot duty.
After the war he spent nine years in bust
ness, and in 1874 he was appointed warden
of Joliet prison. He found the place in a
terrible state of Generalization. 1t had
been ruled by cruelty and suicide and in
subordnation were chronic evils. Nc
Claughry at once substituted a rule of
merciful but rigid discipline for the former
capricious harshness. In few months
the prison was a model of good order and
management, and for the fourteen years
that he remained at its head it was one of
the show institutions of the country.
In 1889 Major NJ cClaughry resigned
from Joliet to take charge of the indus
trial state reformatory at Huntington,
Penn. He completely organized it and
put its good work on q firm basis; but his
family's health needing a milder climate
he resigned his post, proposing to take
charge of the famou, Allegheny work
house, near Pittsburg. The news of his
intended change, however, reached the
ears of Mayor-elect Washburne. OF Chi
cago, who promptly rendered him the po-
sition he now holds.
1t Will be seen from this brief outline OF
busy career that Chief McClaughry is
man of unusual qualifications for his
work. He has not only vast personal
acquaintance with criminals, and an in
valuable experience in dealing with them,
but also the education and enlightenment
which are necessary in laying out new
