About stamps.

DO not lick stamps. The best way
is to moisten the envelope and not the
stamp. When stamps stick together,
do not soak them apart, but lay them
on a smooth surface with a thin paper
over them. This separates without
destroying the gum.

VIM. SPAUGH DIES
IN PEN|TENT|ARY
Sheriff Folks Murderer Victim
of tuberculosis.
MOTHER MADE HARD FIGHT
1t Wss Through the. Efforts Of Old
Mrs. Spaugh That the States
Criminal Code Was
Changed.

Jefferson City.-William Spaugh,
who was serving a life sentence for
the murder of Sheriff Polk of Iron
county in May, 1906, died in the
Missouri penitentiary of tuberculosis
the other day. He was SO years old.
Spaugh was in n respect unique
among the murderers confined in the
penitentiary. 1t was the desperate
effort of his ignorant and poverty
stricken mother to save him from
the gallows that came within a few
legislative votes of abolishing CAPT
tai punishment in Missouri and which
actually resulted in the enactment
of a statute permitting juries in muir
der cases to choose between life i'm
prisonment and hanging.

mated in an assault upon a banker by
William. He fled to his home where

Iron county, went to arrest him. The

with a rifle ball fired at close range
from behind.
After a long chase which involved
several running battles, the despera.
does were caught and brought back
to Ironton, where they were lodged in
jail beside their mother. A mob
stormed the jail but was repulsed by
the deputies of the dead sheriff.
William was sentenced to hang
Arthur to fifty-five years in prison
and Mrs. Spaugh to ten years. Hell
case was reversed and she was ac
quilted at a second trial. Then she
began a seemingly hopeless effort
to prevent the hanging of William.
She finally went to jefferson City
to see Governor Folk.
Folk caused to be drawn up a re
markable contract between himself
Mrs. Spaugh and the general assem-
bly,, the effect of which was that i
the assembly would agree to abolish
capital punishment he would com
