Scott Jackson and Alonzo Wall
ling, the murderers Of Pearl Bryan,
were hanged in the Jail at Newport,
Ky, Saturday morning. The drop
fell at IL 40. Early in the day
Jackson made a statement clearing
Walling of all completely in the
crime, and Gov. Bradley granted a
brief respite on condition that Jack
son enlarge on his statement. This
he refused to do and the governor
then ordered tnat the executions
proceed.
Sheriff Plummer asked the pris
oners if they had anything further to
say. Jackson replied that he want
ed to clear Walling Of any connec-
ton with the crime He wrote the
following message to Gov. Bradley:
"Walling is not guilty of this
crime. | am. (Signed) SCOTT
JACKSON"
The telegram was sent at 8:55 q.
m. At 1O:15, the governor tele-
graphed the sheriff to proceed with
the execution Of Jackson, and if he
made confession on the scaffold,
TO postpone the death sentence in
Walling's case until further di-
rections. j., .4.
Sheriff Plummer promptly ques-
toned Jackson as to enlarging on
his brief dispatch to the governor,
who granted him five minutes to
make further statement clearing
lWall;ng, but jackson declared that
he would say no more, and when
the governor was 80 notified by
telephone, at 10:30, he at once or.
dered the double execution to pro-
ceed. Walling, in the meantime,
had been told nothing about his
brief respite, and he went to his
death without knowing how near he
had come to escaping the gallows.
CINCINNATI, March 21.-The
ashes to which the body of Scott
jackson, Pearl Bryan's murderer,
was secretly reduced last night, were
taken from the crematory and
placed in an urn and hermetircally
scaled this morning. The mother
and her daughter, Mrs. Post, then
received the urn, which, with its
contents, weighed about five pounds.
Mrs. Jackson said she would keep
il at her home as long as she lived.
The body of the other victim Of the
gallows yesterday, Alonzo Walling,
is still in the vault at Hamilton,
Ohio. but it is believed will be re-
moved within few hours to Mount
Carmel, and buried in the family
lot in the cemetery there.

New Albany Ledger :-DR. An
B)TT, Of Plymouth church having,
as he supposes, knocked Jonah and
the whale story, Elisha and his as
cension in his chariot of fire, and
many Of the miracles of Jesus out
OF the Bible, is now giving his con-
brief respite to catch up.
1t is this kind of discredit of the
Old and New Testament that is
infidels and atheists.
Far more highly learned men than
DR.. Abbott have filled the sacred
of the world with sunlight,
belief and soul cheering promise in
the entirety Of the Bibles inspir-
alton. Professed Ministers OF the
Gospel assume fearful response
bility when they talk flippantly Of
some ancient books and miracles
Of the Bible. What Plymouth
church most needs is q Minister
like Beecher, whose lips are touched
by the fire Of the Holy Spirit. DR..
Abbott is sowing seed to the whirl-
wind in Mr.. Beecher's old pulpit.

ADVERTISING SPACE
Costs Much Money and Can't be Given
Away.

Good goods bring fair prices-on
ly poor articles are sold for what
ever they can get. This is true o.
advertising as Of everything else
As rule low rates and large dis
counts ate a sure indication of small
circulation. Advertising space in
publications of good circulation rep
resents a very heavy outlay and
cannot be offered at a nominal price
without loss. Publishers, like other
business men, do not do business
for nothing, neither are they in il
for the pleasure it affords. Hence
they cannot afford to give advertis-
ing space at less than cost.
Low rates may be taken as posi-
tive proof Of equally small and COM
paratively valueless circulation.
The business man who has a cer-
tain amount of money to spend in
advertising should bear this in mind.
In order to spend wisely he needs to
choose well. 1t does not follow by
any means that because he can get
space Tor less money in one d.
recticn that there is where he can
get the best advertising. On the
contrary, it seldom happens so.
This same business man might pay
half dollar for dinner when he
could get a dinner around the cor
ner for Is cents-if he cared to.
But there is difference in the din
ner which is worth the other 35
cents. There is just as much differ
ence in advertising. Boston Press.

NOT A PREFERRED CLAIM.
Judge Bakers Decision in the Louisville,
Evansville & 81. Louis Case.

An opinion which settles the fate
of large number of claims against
the Louisville, Evansville & St.
Louis railroad company and which,
it is estimated, will mean a saving
of fully $4,000 to the company,
was handed down by Judge Baker
of the United States court yester-
day. The principal decision was
that private claim against the
company shall not have preference
Of the mortgage indebtedness. The
suit in question was brought by
George Clarke, executor OF the es-
tate Of Augustine Clarke. The lat
ter received injuries from an acci-
dent on the road which ended in his
death. The executor brought suit
for $40, 900, and on July IL, 1890,
received a judgment for 80, 900 and
costs. The railroad appealed to the
United States supreme court upon
bond of $12 900, signed by d. J.
Mackey, then president Of the COM
pany. The judgment was affirmed
and suit was begun against Mackey,
which ended in recovering a judg-
ment from him in 1894. After the
recovery Of the judgment the road
went into the hands of receivers,
with Mackey indebted to the COM
'pany $40, 900, of which but SIC, 400
has now been paid.
The property in the hands OF the
receivers is subject to mortage in
debtedness Of over $5 900, 900, and
the income Ct the road is not enough
to pay the interest on the mortgage
Indebtedness after paying running
expenses. The mortgage was exc
cuted before Clarke's judgment was
recovered. The petitioner asked
that his claim be placed in the pre-
ferred class above the mortgage, but
Judge Baker stated on general
grounds that it did not have a right
of preference. There are large
number Of similar claims.-Ind

Independent Uncle Will
Green died at his house one mile
west Of Ireland last Monday, and
was buried on Tuesday at Bethel.
He was born in this county about
the year 1918 and has lived here
ever since. He could remember
the Indians, and their treacherous
mode of warfare, and it was very
entertaining to hear him talk about
old times, when the woods teemed
with deer, wild hogs, panthers and
wolves. Mr.. Green was an honest,
simple-hearted citizen, who, as the
fore going sketch indicates, was
raised in a time far back, when the
door was never locked, and the
latchstring always hung on the
outside, and when the truth was
measured by what they said. He
never forgot the lessons Of his boy
hood, and being honest himself he
never suspected any one of any
He leaves his now aged
companion through life, three chill
dren, all grown, and a host Of friends
to mourn his demise.

REVIVAL IN BUSINESS.
What is Needed TO Bring About Boom
In All Departments.

To secure any permanent relief,
a practical and speedy suppression
of this terrible incubus on labor and
capital must be the demand of an
injured, exasperated and deter
mined people, and just as soon as il
becomes known that voters are
aroused and determined in their ef-
forts to suppress and destroy this
monster-the liquor tratiic-almost
nstantaneously shall we see mani
tested revival of trade everywhere.
A consciousness among the peo-
pie that the 1900, 900, 900, now
spent by them to their loss and in
Jury would be thrown into the regu-
lar and productive channels of trade
would make such boom in our in
Idustries as to startle the world with
its magnitude, and cause the other
Interests of the country, however
important, to sink into insignificance
when compared with it, These re-
suits are not dependent or based
upon mere chimerical or problem
attic conjecture, but are the natural
results of natural causes, just as
certain and inevitable as cause and
effect in science or philosophy.
With the enormous amount OF
money left in the hands Of the peo-
pie to be distributed for their bene-
fit, and thereby relieving them from
the burden of loss that the liquor
traffic occasions, more hopeful
feeling would Immediately take
possession of our business relations,
reviving confidence and commercial
prosperity, setting the wheels of in
dastry revolving with renewed ac-
tivity, and the whole country, with
its labor, capital, machinery and
enterprise, would be actively en-
gagged in healthy rivalry to supply
the demands and wants of a success
full, joyous and prosperous COM
munity.
These 50 900, 900 spent for legiti-
mate purposes would also stimulate
activity on all other popular and
questions bearing on the
material interests of the country, to
find their solution in just, healthy
and speedy adjudic ation.-Demo-
