HANG. MADE HAPPY BY A
COMMITTED SENTENCE

day for Eaton's hanging came around

eral months ago and was brought
from Ouachita parish to the Caddo
parish Jail for safe Keeping Governor
Parker set the date for the hanging.
but the sheriff forgot all about il
until the legal date had passed. As
he afterward wrote to Governor Par.
ker. he was so busy with other af-
fairs in his office that he forgot the
day that he was to hang Eaton.
When the omission was discovered.
attornyes for Eaton held that as he
mad been In jeopardy once. his execu-
ton would be illegal. Governor Par.
ker secured opinions from members of
the bar, but the attorney general held
that as Eaton had been sentenced TO

sentence be carried out, unless exec.
utive clemency was extended The
matter was then allowed to rest until
the meeting Of the pardon board today.

T FRECKLES
March Worst Month Tor This Trouble
How TO Remove Easily.

There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in March, but happily
there is also remedy for these ugly
blemishes, and no one need stay freck-
led.
Simply get an ounce Of Othine-dou-
bic strength. from your druggist and
apply a little of it night and morning
and in few days you should see that
even the worst freckles have begun tc
disappear, while the light ones have
vanished entirely. Now is the time
to rid yourself of freckles, for if not re-
moved now they may stay all Summer
and spoil on otherwise beautiful com
pleXion. Your money back if Othine
fails.-Adv.

NEWARK, N. J., TO HAVE
MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT

After a ten-year fight the city of
Newark, N. J., now under the mayor
ship of Charles P. GilIen, one of the
most wide-awake and progressive ma
yors in the East, has voted to estab-
hsh municipal lighting plant.
AS usual all but one of the daily
newspapers in the city fought the pro-
ject. So also did the chamber of COM
mence and other civic bodies which
seemed to be dominated by the pri-
vate corporations. Yet in spite of it
all, Mayor Gillen and the people won.
Thus Newark is moving up into the
ranks with Cleveland, Pasadena, Sc
attic, Springfield, ILL.,, and scores of
other progressive American cities that
own and operate successful electric
light and power plants,

done. The press will come to our side
