s.At the last legal execution in the
Creek nation I va present. said Mr..
Leo p. Bennett, the government agent
for the five civilized tribes, the other
day at Washington. .sThe details were
very different from a execution in the
army. There q squad is detailed, and
some OF the guns ore left unloaded, so
nobody can tell who fires the fatal shot.
At this last Creek execution the con-
demned man was seated OF the ground,
with his back against a tree and his legs
stretched out in front. He was not
bound to the tree, MOI were his hands
tied. just before the execution some
one put a bandage owe his eyes, but the
prisoner tore it off and threw it away.
Perhaps the strangest part of the pro-
ceedings was the selection OR the eyecu-
TONERS. That was left to the condemned.
man. Hc was told to pick out the two
men who he wanted to do the shooting.
Strange to say, one of the selections was
his cousin. Both men were from the
Light Horse of the nation. The two.
men without any unnecessary delay
walked out in front Of the condemned
mar IL or Is feet, knelt down, leveled
their revolvers, steadying the barrels
with their left hand and fired. Both
bullets struck the left breast over the
heart and not more than an inch and a
half apart. The mar fell over on his
side and in a few seconds was dead. Ac-
cording to the Creek law the third of
Tense of larceny is punishable with
death. For the first offense the penalty
is so lashes, and for the second it is 100
lashes on the bare back. If there is an
attempt to carry out the death penalty
again for larceny, 1 intend to try the
effect of habeas corpus in The federal
court ut Fort Smith. Shooting a man
or an Indian for larceny would come
under the constitutional prohibition of
cruel and unusual punishment. At least
I shall see what Judge Porter thinks of
the proposition. The last Creek execu-
ton occurred several years ago. A
Creek woman was condemned to be shot
not long since, but she was pardoned by
the chief. The Seminoles are the only
other civilized Indians who shoot their
cOndemned.n

uee the Water Out of the Stocks

The one remedy for the evils from
which both the farmers and the laboring
people of cities suffer will be cheap
travel and freight transportation. 1t is
the expense of carrying meat from the
west to the Seaboard that makes it cost
so great to the wOrkingman of the east.
1t is the enormous expense of freight
on the farmers products that makes it
cheaper for him to burn his corn as fuel
than to ship it by rail. The railroad
people must live. and if possible pay
dividends to their stockholders, though
these are not heavy of late years. Steam
transportation by land is expensive.
necessarily. The w%orkingman could
journey from where his labor is a drug
in the market to where it is needed if
only it did not cost so much to trryel.
Where is the genius who shall give us
cheap travel and transportation? 1t is
the one universal need of the age.-Bos-

4 Bis Turks justice.

Ahmed vefyk Paeha, the Turkish
scholar and statesman who died q few
days ago, had been ambassador to Paris
and gland yizier, ahd was the subject
of many pleasant stories.
It is related, for instance, that when
he was governor Of Broussa q rich man
had Judgment pronounced against him in
favor Of a poor man. The latter, owing
to the brides Of the rich man, could not
obtain execution, and complained to
Ahmed Vefyk. After explaining his
case, Ahmed saw the debtor riding up
TO the conak upon a beautiful Arab
horse. He ordered the creditor to sit
down, called messenger, and whispered
to him. The debtor entered the room
and was surprised at the exceptional
cordially of the pacha, who invited him
to sit down, to take coffee and to con-
verse. Presently when he rose to leave
the pacha pressed him to remain, and
kept him upward of an hour, until, in
deed, a messenger entered the room and
placed a small bag on the table before
Ahmed. When the debtor next rose,
Ahmed took the bag from the table and
gave it to him, stating, s'This is yours.
You owed so much to this poor man.
! have sold your horse, paid him, and
this is the balance belonging to you"

THE Tooth anniyersary of the birt

THE Tooth anniversary of the birth of
Mrs. Jennette Chisholm was celebrated
at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs.
William Allen, near Keokuk, the other
day. The venerable lady was born in
Inverness, Scotland, in 1891. When 10
years old she came to Baltimore, the
ocean voyage lasting thirteen weeks.
From Baltimore she made the trip to
Pittsburg by o. team, there being no
railroads in those days. In 1860 she
came to Iowa. where she has since re-
sided. Eighty-two years ago she was
married, and of the union was born four
children, all of whom are dead. Aside
from grandchildren, the only surviving
member of her immediate family is a
sister living in Ohio. She is still hale
and hearty and attends to her own room.
Among her articles of furniture is her
bridal bed, which she still uses.

"Jossingv a Soul.

In San Francisco a few days ago Sing
Song, priest in a Chinese iosshouse, was
arrested on the charge of cruelty to ami
mails. He was found on Washington
street, wearing a square hat and a long
robe. He was making a horrible noise
by beating cymbals and ringing a bell.
Near by he had a white duck in a tub of
water with its legs tied together so
that it could not swim. When. asked
what his performance meant, Song said
that q Chinese woman had died in the
house which he was in front of and he
was trying to ''joss'' her soul into the
body of the water fowl so that when ii
died its spirit would carry the woman's
soul off to the flowery kingdom beyond.
He was very indignant at being arrested.
