The State of Kansas has capital
punishment law on her statute
books, but it provides that when q
man is convicted of murder in the first
degree he shall he taken to the State
penitentiary and confined for one
year, after which he shall be hanged,
upon the governor signing his death
warrant. Every Kansas Governor
has failed to sign such warrant
and the result IS no one has been
hanged, and the penitentiary has
many such criminals within its walls
for life.

The Monroe DAILY Star of Monday
last, says:
Mr.. j. b. Hays, of the firm of Stew
art Bros. & Co, cotton factors OF New
Orleans, was in Monroe yesterday and
gives out the most discouraging re-
ports for the cotton crop in this entire
section. Mr. Hays has been member
of.the above firm for many years. and
had been considered authority on the
subject for many years before he be-
came a partner in this firm. Mr.. Hays
SAYS that he has been on the road buy
ing up cotton for fourteen years past.
and never in his career as q cotton
man has he been so greatly discour-
aged at the outlook for crop as he is
at the present time. Mr.. Hays last
week went through the Red river Sec
ton and throughout that country he
found that the dry weather had proven
very injurious to the crops. In many
cases he reports cut worms at work,
and says that the lands are just damp
enough to swell the seed which have
been planted, where second planting
was necessary, and that in cases of this
sort the seed will simply decay and not
come above the ground. He reports
that rain is needed throughout the en-
tire country Of north Louisiana and
Arkansas. and unless it is Forthcoming
very soon he thinks that nothing short
of disaster is in store for the planters.
His firm is now buying in all the cot
ton it can get hold of. He shipped in
to New Orleans last week several
hundred bales which he was very glad
Ito get. The Monroe merchants who
thought some weeks ago that they
would be so badly stuck with The cot.
ton on hand are very much brighter
and hope to get out at at nominal
loss at worst. Mr.. Hays LEM Monros
Yesterday evening and will continue
through the State buying all thescottor
he can get hold of and giving Hbera
price,.
