The drop fell and the soul of Charles
n. Smith, better known as PAGER Smith,
went out to the God who gave il, in the
corridor Of the county jail at Decatur,
Ills.
In 1887, PAGER Smith was given a
banquet in Wichita. At that time he
was the renowned pitcher of the Wich-
tia baseball club, and sent forth such
twisters that the opposition were un-
able to solve his curves. In making his
run between bases he always keep up
the peculiar gait which gave him the
name of PAGER" PAGER Smith was
probably the best all round player that
ever played on a Kansas diamond out
side of the st. Louis Browns, when at
himself, but he loved the wine cup too
well to depend upon, and at the end of
three months he was released from the
club by Manager Walden, and Frank
Oliver and Charles Mosbacher, who at
that time had the honor of being mem
bers of the executive committee of the
baseball club of the Peerless Princess.
The dispatch received by the Eagle
last night says:
"Decab ur. Ills, Nov. 29.-Charies n.
Pacer) Smith, was hanged today in the
corridor of the county jail in the pres
ence of 800 people Smith died while re-
peating the Lords prayer. Three
Catholic priests stood on the scaffold.
Smiths neck was broken by the fall OF
seven feet.
Last September Smith killed his lit
. L. IL i
Buchert, his sister-in-law. He tried TO
kill his wife but she escaped. Today
he confessed that he took part in the
torture and robbery of William Florey
in 1854"
Many persons in Wichita will recall
today when PAGER Smith was met at the
depot by Mayor Aldrich and escorted to
the board OF trade rooms where the
banquet in honor of his coming was
held. The band played Hail TO the
Chief" and on July 4, 1887, the largest
crowd that had ever assembled around
the diamond at Wichita was gathered
to witness the playing of PAGER Smith.
He put up wonderful game that day
and too high words could not be spoken
of the man whom Wichita delighted to
honor.
A game was arranged with an Ar
kansas City club and Wichita boys feel
ing certain they had a sure thing bet
heavily on the game, but unfortunately
for them Smith had tarried long at the
wine cup and the game was won by the
border city.
The crime was a henious one and the
scene in the court when he was found
guilty whereon his wife, clapping her
hands shouted, THANK God. he will be

Eagle a the time.
Drinking had reduced him to a hui
man wreck, and no efforts were made
to secure a new trial. He was without
friends and no one was left to mourn
his death. His mother had died of
broken heart a short time after his
great crime. Thus ends the career of a
man who might have occupied a good
position had he let strong drink alone.

What everybody says must be
true. Why? Because Spurr's pic
lures have stood the test for ten
years, which proves the quality to be
first-class. Time always tells the story.
Such work is in demand, and will be
so long as the world stands. People
are becoming more proficient in artist
judgment and demand purely artistic
work. Photography has received more
scientific consideration than any other
profession the past twenty years, and
is one of the instruments of intellectual
progress, so recognized by publishers
and readers of the periodical world. A
well-taken photograph is something
to be priced, if the position and light
ing is artistically arranged, and the
picture finished in the latest style.
People who like artistic pictures should
call at Spurr's studio, 209 Water street,
and be convinced of the merits of his
work. No pictures are allowed to be
taken from the Spur studio that does
not give satisfaction. Mr.. Spur has
followed the Photographic business for
the past sixteen years and has kept up
with the progress of his profession.
His business is the oldest and best
established in Winnesheik county. His
studio is complete in scenic effects and
accessories, which afford every adj
vantage possible.

Good Bacon.

This country is fast becoming ma
ton OF bacon-eaters, and the demand
for bacon is very much greater now
than it was only few years ago. This
demand leads to well-defined call for
bacon breeds of swine, and those breeds
which can be depended on to produce
meat well streaked with lean have a
prospect of becoming very popular.
The bacon made in America has hith-
ertO been too fat to meet with great IA
vor in the markets of the world. In
Europe Danish bacon has first place,
while that of Canada is taken in prefer
ence to that from this country. This is
because of the greater amount of lean
meat in the product of these countries
as compared with ours.
The American swine breeder has
been paying most of his attention to
producing weight without regard to
what their weight was made up of, and,
as consequence, American pork is
largely pure fat, and it is not nncom-
mon to find American side pork that
has no lean i'm it. The favorite breeds
in America have been bred to this
weight ideal until they are largely fat
producers and very few of them are
good bacon hogs, and he who desires
to produce first-class bacon must choose
his breed carefully.-Farm News.

1T is HERE.

We are beginning to realize that fall
with all its accompanying elements is
with us. The hot days of the summer
months have gone. The sun has ceased
to pour its scorching rays upon our
heads. The heated atmosphere ofmid-
summer has been transformed into
more frigid aerifOrm. The warm
nights are now no longer and we are
all compelled to stay near the stove
after the night has drawn its curtains
down.
The trees which but few weeks
since stood in stately form, covered
with green leaves, are now robbed of
their summer dress. The grass-decked
hills are bald, and present a cold and
chilly appearance. The green lawns
have changed their color into that of a
brownish hue. All these things re-
mind us that sweet summer has gone
away. They remind us, too, that soon
the white snow will change the face of
nature, and that cold, stern winter
will be here
But this is the way of nature, and it
is the right way. Winter succeeds
summer, and summer in turn succeeds
winter. So the years will go on and
on until time in its flight will find us,
who are young, in the realms of old age;
and we will be laid away in the silent
precincts of the tomb. Generation sue
ceeds generation, and the world moves
on. We are prone to ask what is life
worth and why should we live and toll
and labor, only to die and leave the
world? Why waste our energies and
thought but to be destroyed and buried
with our bodies? But life is after all a
pleasure, and we cling to it in the face
of all obstacles. Our work and our
good deeds, however, do not die with
us, but are left to make their impress
upon the world. What good we are
able to accomplish will be a benefit to
those who follow, and this is the great
| object of life.
