fessor, said Easement exhibited a
"beautiful character" AS a bell
announced the execution a small
group of Irish women and men who
stood apart from the crowd outside
the prison fell on their knees and
remained several minutes in silent
prayer.
The executioner was hair
dresser named Ellis.
Easement was pronounced dead by
the prison doctor eight minutes after
the trap was sprung.
All hopes Of an eleventh hour re-
prieve were dashed late yesterday
when Lord Robert Cell, under-secre-
tary for foreign affairs, announced
that no government could do it's duty
and interfere with the sentence. The
government intimated that Case
ment's acts were considered more
hostile than those of the Sim Fein
leaders who were executed in Dub
lin several weeks ago.

WHEN MEN HAD HORNS.
Bones of Prehistoric Man of Great
Size Found in Pennsylvania.

Athens, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE archae-
ologists who are traversing the Sus-
quehanna river valley, visiting sites
of Indian villages and digging up
aborignes and other relics, are said
to have made most astounding dis
coNery on the Murray farm, near
here, in finding the bones of 6S pre-
historic men.
The average height Of these men,
when their skeletons were assembled,
was seven feet, while many were
much taller. Additional evidence Of
their gigantic size is found in the
massive stone battle axes in their
graves. The average age OF these
men is said TO have been from 80 to
30 years.
Another amazing point Of the dis
covery is the allegation that "per-
fectly formed skulls were found from
which horns grew straight out from
the head"

STATE AID FOR
VARIOUS SCHOOLS
A Computation of How Much Is
Sent Out to the Various Insti.
tuti0ns.

Very few people of the state realize
how much of the money collected as
taxes is returned to the various parts
Of the state instead of being used as
is the popular belief--right at the
capitol. One department alone,-that
pertaining to the state aid of rural
and consolidated schools-will furn-
ish a small idea as to the distribution
of the states money. A small matter
in each individual case, yet the fol-
lowing statement issued out of the
capitol will give fair idea of the
$28,057.57 Sent Out.
State Auditor Jorgenson has just
completed the payment of the appro-
priation for state aid to rural and con-
sOlidated schools. The schools are d.
vided into four classes, according to
which state aid was paid in the sums
