WASHINGTON, March 4-Wni.e
five hundred tons Of free sse ds wont

lion amateur and professional farmers
for planting this spring, congress took
steps that may end forever an agrI-
cultural custom established in col

The opportunity for saving $24O,00O
was too good to resist, and the senate
agriculture committee struck the item

unless senators have a change Of
heart.
There has been no serious attempt
to end the free seed custom since 1894
though objections to the appropriation
have arisen every year for the last
generation.
The idea Of seed distribution by tn,
government grew out of a British eS-
pertinent in 1743, when encourage
ment Of agriculture in the American
colonies was a vital object.
Afterward, the colonies themselve1
took up the custom, especially to pro.
mote the cultivation Of new crops,
such as hops and grapes, which were
considered highly desirable in thos.
cid days.
Booming Americas agricultural
prospects by distributing seeds had
the approval of Benjamin Franklin,
who sent silkworm eggs and mulberry
slips from England. Thomas Jeffer-
son, as minister to France, sent home
for distribution various samples Ut
grasses and fruits.

Just when it was about to be decided
to have the man hanged on the court
house lawn, permission was obtained
to use the so-called Munsen land south
Of the C. and A. tracks, about a mile
east of Mexico. There were nc houses
in sight of the scaffold when it was
finally erected. A place forty feet
square around it was fenced in with
barb wire land in this enclosure only
the guards, priests and reporters e
allowed.
After Kilgore mounted the scaffold
steps a short devotional service was
held, and he, having the day before
Joined the Catholic church, re-
peated the Lords Prayer. Just before
the drop fell he said, Unto Thy hands,
o God, I commend my SOUL" and kiss.
ed the cross. He was described as
being "game to the end"
The night before his execution he
entertained guests in the parlor Of
the Jail until II o'clock, and vas said
to have shown no signs Of nervous
ness. His brother, who spent the
night with him, said that he slept we'll,
and the last meal he ate, less than an
| hour before he went to his death, was
apparently enjoyed by him.
Thirty minutes after the drop fell
from under Kilgore's feet his body
was taken down and put by hi
brother into the waiting coffin. Ac-
cording to his request he was to have
been buried in the old Barnett GENE
terry, but he was inferred in the town
burying ground where his grave was
guarded for some time to prevent the
ghouls from carrying it away"
Several days before his death Kill
gore wrote a letter to one OF his
friends, Henry Kunkle, asking him tc
tell all his friends to come to sec
him. He exhorted him to lead a gooc
life, to never carry weapons with
him, and to get a lesson from The
fate which had befallen him. This
and other indications were given by
Kilgore that he ~repented Of his c1me
that he was satisfied with the faith HI
adopted just previous to his death
end that he expected to have a happie'
life in a better world.

COOLEST MARCH IN YElRs.
d. w. Butler Says It Breaks All Rec
ords But One in II Years.

-
D. W. Butler, Of this city, says this
is the coolest March he recalls in n
years with the exception Of one. The
nj that was colder was 81 ears ago
when he was rrnning on a mail packet
on the Ohio river between Cincinnati
and Louisville.
This was on March sixth, 1856
when the temperature fell to z below
zero and the river above Cincinnati
froze over. When the ice broke it was
so heavy and thick the large packet
could not make progress without the
men pushing the cakes Of ice from the
sides Of the vessel with pike poles.

Audrain's First Execution
Forty Years Ago March S

Forty years ago today March 81
about five thousand people in Auirain
County witnessed the first hanging
ever held here. The victim was Walk
er Kilgore, who, on January 81, 1879,
killed L. D. Willingham after lying
in wait for him and shooting him.
He was about % years old, and very
little was known of his parentace.
He was sentenced to death in the Aud
rain County Circuit Court October
Ia, 1879. The case was appealed TO
the Supreme Court, which upheld the
action of the court here, and then sew
eral petitions for a pardon were sent
Governor John S. Phelps, who replial
that he could see no reason for cori-
muting the death sentence.
During the trial of Kilgorc he c!uug
to the declaration that he had killed
Willingham in self defense; but just
a short time prior to his execution he
wrote out a confession which he sen,
to the editor of the Ledger, stating
that he had borrowed q gun for the
purpose and had left his home with
the exact intention of killing the man
he murdered, and stated that he cid
this because he was told to by Echert
Reilly. The latter had provoked his
wrath against Willingham by. telling
him that he had been hauling away
his corn.
After the shooting Kilgore Rad
come to Mexico and had given himself
up, acting according to the dictation
of Reilly, and the story he told then
and kept insisting upon as he truth
was one that he said, in his confession,
had been dictated to him by Reilly.
That Kilgore's execution was the
"sensation of the hour" is easily seer
from the space that was given it in
the columns of the press. The Led
ger got out a "Kilgore Extra" on tho
day of the hanging, giving a picture
of the "doomed boy" and a sketch Of
him as the black cap was being placed
over his head. More than 5000 copies
were sold.
Sheriff Glascock had a difficult t!nr
in getting a site for the scaffold, there
being no one willing to have the exc
cution take place on his property

THE RED CROSS
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE.

Questions and W continued
from last week.
Q. Is it best to have the class in.
struction in Home Hygiene and Home
Nursing given before the Red Cross
Nurse is established?
A. Yes, because n Of the duties
of the nurse is to do bedside nursing
in the home and if a member Of the
family has taken this elementary
training these details may be taken
care of by her under direction of the
nurse and thus a larger number of
families may De reached.
@. Does the nurse charge a fee for
her service?
A. When the patients are ablc
they are charged a small fee, in or
der that the service may be available
to all classes u people. Many people
who would not request the services Of
a nurse when the service is on a free
basis, will readily do so when a fec
is charged.
@. Do these fees go into the chap
ter treasury?
A. Yes, and the nurse always gives
the family a receipt from The Amer
lean Red Cross.
These questions and nswer taken
from "a. B. C. of Nursing Dept. AM
erican Red Cross" will be concluded
next week.

I've stayed on my job many a time

Il think my kidneys were at fault
but no medicine 1 ever took helped me
much. Every turn or movement gave
me pain and bending over or lifting
anything heavy was especially painful.
Il also had a bad case of stomach
trouble. After eating I'd have a full
heavy feeling and would belch gas.
My bowels were constipated and my
liver lazy, which gave me a tired, dull
feeling every morning, making me
grouchy. [ was often dizzy and could
see spots dancing before my eyes. My
tongue was coated and breath foul.
After taking Dreco, am happy to
report a great change in my feelings.
1 can eat anything I want with no
fear of gas or bloating, as my stomach
digests anything perfectly. / know my
liver has been cleaned off thoroughly
for those headaches, dizzy spells, tired,

gone, and l get up fresh and full of
energy, ready for work. The backache
has been entirely relieved and the

gone. l believe in Dreco very strong,
