The execution of murderer in Siam is
thus described: A temporary altar was
erected, and before this the seven superbly
built eNecutioners, with drawn swords,
made offerings OF boar's head, fowls, rice,
etc, and lighted large tapers. Then the
swords were anointcd. The condemned
meanwhile remained on the funeral barge,
where Buddhist priests gave him the last
rites. He smoked and chatted after the
ceremony and never showed any signs Of
weakness.
At last he was brought out in front Of
Che altar and placed on freshly cut plantain
leaves. The exccutioners asked his pardon
for killing him after they had wound red
sashes about their body and placed red
handkerchiefs about their heads A snow
white cloth was wound around the con-
demned mans lolns; his ears were stopped
with clay so that he should not hear the
headsman's footsteps as he came behind
him. His neck chain and handouts were
removed, and his elbows were secured to
bamboo post, while he was forced to sit
ting position. Then a white line was
marked ON his neck rs n guide to the
swordsman.
The eNecutioner, a lusty young Samson,
now approached from behind, advancing
with many fancy steps and moving his
sword like the baton OF bandmaster. His
six associates formed an attentive group
and watched every movement For mo-
ment the large sword CLEANED in the air
Then IL descended exactly upon the white
line. The body fell slightly to one side, the
head dropped. but hung by bit of skin,
and the mans lifeblood leapod forth upon
the sand. One OF the attendant execution
ers severed the head completely. and anoth-
er neatly placed it on pole and e..po-ed IL

The Railroad Commissioners.

The quo wsrrsnto case brought to
oust w. M. Mitchell from the office of
railroad commissioner was decided by
the supreme court on the I'd, and the de-
cision was emphstically against the de-
fendsnt. Whereupon said defendant
gathered up what things he could carry
and snesked out, followed by Statesman
Anthony, whose tenure Of Office also de-
pended upon that decision. They are
succeeded by the new members, John
Hall and W. D. Vincent, P. B. Msxson
having previously succeeded A. r.
Greene.
Mitchell had held the Office nearly two
years, and wanted to hold it till March,
1894. On February 8, the executive
council gave notice Of his removal from
Office, but he took no heed, claiming that
the council had no authority to remove.
The court decided differently. Anthony's
case was still weaker, as he had filed no
bond.

two current topics as follows: He thinks
that while the fusion faction Of the de-

federal patronage in Kansas, it is in
much better favor with the RdmlnistrR-
