 Passing sentence yesterday, Judge Nave reviewed the character of the crime and the demeanor of the defend. ant at the trial.
 'There is no moral fiber in the de fendant," said the court at the COD. elusion of forty-fve minute lecture ''no sense of right The object of the law in sentencing such men to death or to life imprisonment is not so much to punish them, for they are indifferent to punishment, but to prevent their hay ing issue.

PIANO CONTESTANTS KNOW THAT ONLY SUBSCRIPTIONS COUNT IN VOTING
 SETTLED DOWN FOR WORK
Elimination of Free Coupons Reduces Totals, but Good Showings are
 Made by Several Parties

Twelfth Prize--A purchasing certifi- cate for s70.
 Thirteenth Prize--A certificate for $50.
 Fourteenth Prize--A certificate for $40.
 Fifteenth Prize--A certificate for $30.
 Sixteenth Prize-A certificate for $20.
 Seventeenth Prize-A certificate for sl0.
 These piano certificates are trans, ferable. They will be accepted by the Redewill people just the same as cash in the purchase of Vose piano, the prices ranging from $40o up.
 In all probability there will be a number of other prizes. It all depends on the young ladies and the work they perform This morning there are seven teen young ladies in line for winning prizes. If conditions do not change, the seventeen candidates whose names appear at the head of this story can not fail in winning prizes. But there are number of candidates in the light figures who will probably develop strength during the coming three weeks, and dark horses may be entered. The race is pretty one as it appears this morning, and the Contest Editor be. lieves that 1t will be neck and neck affair to the end. From now until the close of the controversy nothing but subscription coupon votes will be re ceived. The following is the schedule:

Sept. 18th. Everything Stylish
to Wear. TEMERSOM'S,
In Memorian.

Mrs. Martha Payne died at her old
homestead Aug 4th 1908, after years
wasting illness; the frail tenement tot
tered to final dissolution, owing to the
nature of her malady she suffered
much. Toward the end great WEAKNESS
came she said she felt so tired and that
Jesus IN whom she trusted gave her
eternal rest. Her life was loving and
unselfish, in her illness she showed a
perfect trust in God and a sweet resig-
nation to his will, as she requested
Home Sweet Home" to be PLAYED
while leaving the old home. She was a
devout member of the Methodist church
and was consecrated in all ways En-
dowed with mind of unusual strength,
breadth, Thoughtful prudent and candid
She was a wise counselor to the young
who often sought her advice. Indeed
the lovely christian spirit that permit
ted her whole being inspired, consider
alton for all regardless of creed or of
station. In the church her presence
was always helpful. Her strong bouy-
ant spirit shone out like sunshine, lead
ing to renewed effort in lines suggested
by her judgement and unerring tact,
meekly and lovingly she accepted the
obligation to serve as best she might,
and trust the dear Lord for all the
rest, and pressed on strewing in her
path, flowers that fell behind her foot
steps for others, not before for herself.
TO the children and grandchildren we
extend sympathy and coincidence in
these hours of sad bereavment.
