LIFE OF MURDERESS
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF
CANADA APPEALED TO
Would Save Condemned One, Who
VIII Become II Mother One Month
Before She Hangs.

Boise, Idaho, June 27.-That the
women Of the western states should
join the women of the eastern and
northern states in sending petitions
To Earl Grey. governor general of the
dominion of Canada, at Ottawa, Ont,
asking that the death sentence inn
posed upon Mrs. Angeline NapOlitano
at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, be either
commuted to life Imprisonment, or
that she be reprieved so that the
child soon to be born to her may not
be deprived of mothers love and
care during the first months of its
life, or that she be pardoned and set
wholly at liberty, is the concensus of
opinion expressed by prominent wo-
men of Boise, Officers and leaders Of
local and state women's orsaniZa
tions.
Case Attracts Attention.
The case of Angelina Napolitano
has attracted considerable attention
| throughout the civilized world, on
account OF its unusual features. O,
Angelina Napolitano, mother Of
four children at the age of 2S years
is under death sentence at Sault Ste
Marie, ont, for the murder of her
husband Petro Napolitano.
The murder was committed last
Easter sunday morning, April 16.
She was quickly arrested, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged The
death penalty would have been exc
cuted Immediately, but the law recog-
nized the majesty OF motherhood.
Trn-f I,,,, Il.
turn. The mothers execution is set
for August ., a month after the ex-
pected birth of another baby in July
Wouldn't Sell Honor.
At her trial the woman made
startling plea for mercy She had
murdered, she confessed to the court
frankly, but she murdered because
she wouldn't become a white slave"
She killed her husband rather than
sell her honor at his demand. She
said that her husband had stabbed
her nine times, after she refused to
do his bidding Easter morning, and
that she started to drown herself in
the river, but a policeman stopped
her. This was corroborated by the
authorities.
Inc woman pea aroused VIDE
SYM pathy. Women, especially, be-
came interested. They didn't con-
done the crime, though they realized
how great was its provocation. Quite
aside from her guilt or innocence,
they felt that womanhood and moth
erhood would be outraged If this wo-
man, who is entering the shadow OF
death that a child may live. shall
pass through the valley only to stand
on the Gallows while her baby cries
for its mother.

NEW BUSINESS HOUSE
TO BE ERECTED

w. A. Cunningham of Walnut
Ridge, guardian for the F. &. Kline
heirs, was in the city Wednesday
looking for tenant for a two story
brick business house to be erected
on the lot lying just between the
Randolph County Bank and the
Presley,T urner building. M +.
Cunningham says he intends to con
struct the building, but would like
to secure a responsible tenant for a
certain number of years, in which
event he would build the house to
suit the taste and convenience Of
said tenant. This is a most desir-
able location and it is more than
probable that Mr.. Cunningham will
have no trouble in finding a suitable
tenant for the property.

KENTUCKY GOES
DEMOCRATIC AGAIN

Elections held Tuesday in many
states and cities throughout the
country resulted in the election of
Democratic governors in Massachu-
sets, Kentucky and Mississippi;
Republican assembly in New York,
which will challenge the continuance
of Governor DIx's policies; New
Jersey Legislature with majority
probably not in accord with Govern
or Woodrow Wilson of that state;
with results of the state elections in
Maryland aud New Mexico still in
doubt.
In Kentucky, James B. Nc.
Creary, Democrat, was elected
governor by a majority estimated
at 10000 to 10000. A democratic
legislature also was elected, which
insures the choice of Congressman
Ollie James as United States senat
or from Kentucky.

RAISING MONEY
FOR BOYS CORN CLUB

The failure of til Randolph
county levying court to make an
appropriation of money to carry on
the farm demonstration work and
assist the members Of the boys corn
club with their work, private citi-
zens have taken the matter in hand
and will raise five hundred dollars
by private subscriptions. A paper
was circulated here Monday and
enough subscriptions secureI to as
sure the promoters that the plan
will go through. A number of
citizens subscribed sic each and
everybody Is willing to con tribute
something to this worthy enterprise,
When the amount is made up the
matter will be submitted to the
county Judge for his approval in or
der that the appropriation from the
government may be secured, as il
is only in this way that the govern
ment will appropriate funds for thi,
purpose.
Then after this is done a meeting
of the citizens who have contributed
to this fund will be called and they
will select a man to take charge OF
this work for the next year and in
this manner the good work carried
so successfully forward last year
will be continued.
All members of the boys corn
club of last year are to rest assured
that this movement will materiallze e
and they are urged to &C on and
make full preparations for their
work next year. The money to
pay the demonstrator will be forth
coming and it is probable that more
money and prizes will be given out
next year than ever before.

STATE FINANCES
AT ROCK BOTTOM

Arkansas state finances are at
rock bottom once more. 1t came a
little earlier than had been expected,
as few months ago it was calculat
ed that there was enough money to
run till about December /. The
large amounts in the pension and
school funds did not count, as that
was for specific purpose.
The state university drew out the
last So, 600, and the state officials
and employees got their pay, and
there was nothing left save a few
balances in state capitol, pension;
school, fertilizer and other special
funds which cannot be used for
general purposes.
Again the state Is on a scrip
basis, which was the prevalent con-
dition last summer and spring, and
those who hold warrants against the
state must discount them unless the
banks are willing to accept the war
rants at their face value for deposit,
a matter of accommodation, as many
did during the last stringency.
On January the payment of the
liquor license will begin, and this
will help tide over until the collec-
tlons on regular taxes begin to come
in. The fund to the credit of the
penltentiary is also rapidly being
depleted, but this will be augment
ed by the sale of state cotton.
1t has been estimated that by the
end af the year the state will owe
IN unpaid warrants about $l25,OOC
but soon after the first money mat
ters will begin to look up a little.
The last Legislature appropriated,
among other things, Sl2,5oO for the
purpose of appealing the railroad
rate litigation cases to the supreme
court of the United States, but
there is not enough money left to
meet the demands that are made on
this fund to pay the expenses Of
the appeal, so that there must neces-
sa-lly be a further delay of several
months.
