term Of court just adjourned of the
murder OF Gent Gibson at Iron
Mountain on the 18th of June, the
jury assessing his punishment at
life Imprisonment. The following
week he was tried and convicted of
the murder OF Mont Hall at the
same time and place, the jury as
sessing his punishment at death. 1t
was on this last finding of the jury
that he was sentenced by the court
last Saturday.
When Schrum was told by the
Judge to stand up aud was asked II
he had anything to say why the sen
tence should not be pronounced
| against him, with a daZed look Oh
his face he shifted from one foot 70
the other and leaned over to his at
torney and asked il be should say
anything. He was told mo, 1t will
not make any difference in the sen-
Renee when in low tone he said
motto the Judges question. Judge
Huck then proceeded to pronounce
the sentence in as few words as pos.
sible, and as he did so showed that
he was very much affected. When
he came to the words "tO be hanged

voice choked up and tears came in
To his eyes, but recovering himself
he finished the sentence. Through

THOUGHTS OF SPRING FEEDS
Birds Should Have Variety, Especially
Great Deal Reasonably Rich in Pro-
tein-Lime Is Needed.

Apoplexy among fowls is general!
confined to the oyerfat birds and gen
orally the heavier breeds are subjec
to it. 1t is, therefore, necessary tina
the keeper does not feed any grea
quantity of fat-forming feeds to hi:
birds, especially to the heavier breeds
In the spring of the year more thar
any other time of the year the birds
should have variety of feeds, anG
especially a great deal of feed reason
ably rich in protein should be includ
ed in the ration.
Soft-shelled eggs are. usually pro
duced In considerable numbers at this
time Of the year. The reason for this
generally lies in the fact that the birds
do not get the proper feed. To form
an egg shell the proper materials must
be present, and if they are not present
the soft-shelled egg is the result
Lime is one of the necessary mate
rails needed in the formation of an
egg shell, and at this time of the year,
when the hens are beginning to lay,
a liberal amount Of lime should be
present at all times where they can
partake Of it when they desire. In pro-
viding any kind of feed whether it be
vegetable or animal feed, be sure that
1t is pure and wholesome. Musty
grains and rotten meats will cause
sickness many times when the flock is
in perfect health.

CELEBRATION A SUCCESS.

The mystic banquet and ceremony
of extinguishing the lights, held by the
Charles S. Lippincott society of the A.
A. Scottish Rite of Free Masonry cele-
brating Maundy Thursday, was sue.
cess in every way. The affair was held
at the Hotel Pardue and everything
was in readiness for the occasion.
The exercises were quite lengthy and
were not fully completed until nearly
midnight. Every one who was lucky
enough to be present went away high
ly pleased and were sorry when the
president declared that the festivities
were at an end.
After the ceremony, which lasted for
for an hour and a half, the members,
with their guests, repaired to the din
ing room and partook of a sumptuous
repast. Mr.. Pardue, who is member
of the society, had lent every effort to
make it success, and if the congratu-
lations of the guests can be taken for
anything, it certainly was.
After the banquet several speeches
were made which were very interesting.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were as follows: VIM. Silver, pres
ident; r. N. McInturff, vice-president;
l.. d. Gump, secretary; r. J. Parsons.
treasurer.
There were about fifty-two guests
present.
