He had employed Claude Brooks,

One night Brooks knocked at
aerndOn's room in the Navarro
building, Herndon opened the
door, when Brooks killed him
with one blow from a hammer.
Brooks was arrested and con
fessed the crime. The Kansas

the negro's surroundings made
him bad. If that is the case and
a man could be excused on
account of his surroundings
many of his surroundings many
of the worst criminals would go

The only mistake made was that
the execution was not made as
public as possible. There is
something in a public execution
that strikes terror into most
criminals. 1t is harsh treat
ment and some say severe, but
when it is necessary to cut off a
limb for the benefit of the body,
it is best to let the amputation
begin as early as possible, lest
the whole body perish. We
never saw d criminal benefited
by the ice cream, musical pro
gram, banquet treatment. And
such treatment only makes
others criminally inclined tc
smile. We believe Gov. Hadley
did the right thing and acted
wisely. - Platte City landmarks

Missouri Crop Report For August.

The Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, Geo. b..
Ellis, has made the following
announcement of crop conditions
in this state:
Corn. The prospect for corn
continues very hattering. While
somewhat weedy, the corn has
been receiving enough moisture
to make very heavy growth.
The condition is SO per cent as
compared with Sc for last month
and rs for the ten year average
on the first Of August. The per-
centage Of loss by overflow has
been very great in the north
east and northwest sections
where many of the largest
streams are located. There
has also been considerable loss
near the smaller streams all
over the state. Owing to the
lateness Of the season very little
Of this oyerHowed land will be
replanted. The per cent. Of loss
is 7.6 as compared with loss
of IA last year. AS the percen-
tage of acreage this year was
per cent. larger than the normal,
the present acreage is just
about normal. The growth OF
the corn this year has been very
luxuriant. Only a little Of it has
begun to fire. A few counties
in the extreme southwestern
part Of the state are troubled
somewhat with dry weather
but other parts Of the state have
