HANGED.

Execution of A. j. Hudspeth at Harrison.
Ark, for the Murder of q Man Whose
Body Was Newell Found.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. S1.-A. ].
Hudspeth was executed at Harrison,
Ark, Friday for the murder of George
Watkins in 1887. Hudspeth was
hanged for the murder of a man whose
body was never found. The murderer
worked for Watkins on a farm in
Marion county. One morning in
the spring of 1887 Hudspeth and
Watkins went to town. Since
that morning Watkins has never been
seem. Hudspeth was arrested on .sus-
picion of murder. Mrs. Watkins was
afterwards iucarcerated charged with
being an accessory to the taking
OFF of her husband. She was taken
fatally i'll, but before dying con-
fessed that Hudspeth killed her
husband to get him out of the way so
he could marry her. Hudspeth was
sentenced to be hanged. The case has
been appealed and retired, two respites
have been granted, and the fate of ex-
ecution changed three times, but all
efforts to save the murderer failed.
Traces of blood in the wagon and a
bloody Ratchet found in the wagon bed
were the only evidences of foul play
other than the strange disappearance
of Watkins, aside from the wife's testi-
mOny.

AN INSANE MOTHER.
What a horrible thing was that al

What a horrible thing was that at
Rogers City, Michigan, last week.
A mother suddenly insane drove a
knife into her baby's eyes, destroying
the sight at once.
How many a poor woman has
broken down under the strain and lost
her mind!
1t is terrible to think of.
Constipation has wrecked many a
home by taking. the life of the mother.
This is thing that many people
from false sense of delicacy suffer
with for years.
They should be taught that it is not
a light thing but something of grave
import.
If they will get a box of the Laxa-
tive Gum Drops they will be cured
without pain or annoyance.
These gum drops are peculiarly CAL
culated for women, for children and
persons with weak stomachs.
Get them of any dealer.
The small boxes cost ten cents, the
large ones twenty-five cents. |
