Criddle and Lee Hammond, all of the staff of the Morning News, to appear in the city court this morning as witnesses for the state in the l cases.
 The subpoenas, as we'll as the warrants, l were issued by City Attorney Hugh Daley, who intends evidently by the | course he has pursued to make the staff o1 l the Morning News substantiate the claims | made to the effect that these policy shops l were being conducted in this city almost directly under the very eyes of the city ] authorities. At any rate the members o1 the staff of the 'Morning News" will have an opportunity to substantiate thei, l allegations in the city court this morning. This is understood to be but the begin ming of the end, several warrants for the arrest of other parties who, it is under stood, are also engaged in the same busi ness.

Tricks of Trade.

The danger to the public from the in
discriminate use of the many lime and
alum baking powders of commerce has
been so fully exposed that everybody de-
sires to avoid them. As "forewarned is
forearmed," housekeepers will thank us
for apprising them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose of such
powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of these impure
powders are now going from house to
house, trying by means of trick, or So
called test with heat and water. to show
that their article is better than the one
found in use in the house, the object being,
of course, to supply their own goods in
place of those which housekeepers have
for so many years relied upon to puff up
the morning biscuit, and to make the
light, palatable and wholesome roll, cake
and pastry.
The housekeeper will do well to be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner or that are given
away in samples or sought to be intro
duced by secretly traducing the character
of other goods well known to be pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own, and
have failed to find purchasers through
legitimate means.

A B,isf but Unsurpassed Criminal
Recosd.

Sr. LOUIS. March 9.-John Oscar Tur-
lington was hanged at B0onville, No.. last
week. Crowds had gathered early, though
only few were admitted to witaess the
execution. At s o'clock, at Turlinston's
request, he was awakened, ate breakfast
and donned his funeral attire. As the hour
of execution approached he voluntarily an.
nonnced himself ready. burlington placed
himself beneath the moose and Immediately
the rope and cap we're adjusted, followed
closely by signal which launched Tur-
lington into eternity. At 1925 the body
was cut down after life had been pro-
nounced extinct, and will be buried in the
country buryiug ground, Turlington's rela-
tives having evincsd no desire TO gain pos
session Of the body.
burlington was despersdo Of the worst
kind. His life was one series Of crime. In
appearance he was more like farmer than
criminal. lie Was born in the backwoods .
of Kentucky, ard although but little over
twenty six yeArs Of age he had record that
few criminals equaled.
When young he went West and soon be-
gan his career Of wrong-doing. After nu-
merous exploits in the Indian Territory and
Indiana he went to kentucky. Getting in
TO trouble in the latter state, he started for
the West. A year ago this month, while
going through Missouri, he was ordered
from u freight train. While jumping OF
the car he fred at the brakeman and then
ran away. He was arrested and locked up
in Boonville to await trial for assault to
kill. Owing to his quiet behavior, which
was assumed, Turlington's desperate char
scter was not suspected, and no was allowed
considerable liberty in the jail.
On the night of June IA Sheriff Cranmer
Wa alone in the jail. When the time came
to lock up the prisoners in their cells,
burlington drew = revolver just ~ Gran.
mer inserted the key in the lock Of bis cell
door. The sheriff quickly drew his pistol
and the men exchanged shots, Cranmer
being wounded and dying the next day.
while burlington escaped. Burlington was
captured by . posse few miles from
Boonville. He was convicted Of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged on Sept. II.
The case was taken on appeal to the Su-
preme Court. Rendered impatient by the
delay incident to appeal, the citizens Of
Cooper county began to talk Of lypching,
and this coming to Tuilington's knowledge
he determined to escape rather than become
victim to the advocates Of lynch law.
Finding that circumstances favored him in
his design, on the night of Nov. he made
his tscape from the jail. He was captured
in Kentucky and brought back to Boone
vile. After being returned to jsil Tur-
lingt0n once more escaped, but was cap.
tured when he got to Otterville, only thirty
Eve miles from Bonneville.
