His body was cut down and taken a way and buried in the potter's field, his family refusing to take charge of the remains. The execu tion was orderly and only a fow witnessed it. The gallows en which Malloy was hanged was about 12 feet high. A trap door bad been fixed allow ing a fall of about 7 feet. Thc cutting of the rope allowed thc trap door to fall and thc body j dropped through this. Before thc execution thc Revs. Jno. Moultrie, K F Harrington, Fl W Prince and B C Jackson, held devotional exercises in tho cell of thc doomed man. Malloy said that bc was ready to meet bis God and that he was going to his death with malice towards none. At 11:27 Sherill' J ? Green en tered thc cell and read the death warrant to ?lim. He then ac companied by Deputies Hinson, Odom and A C G reen, mai ched on the scaffold. His hands and legs were tied. Thc sheriff asked him if be bad anything to say before bc was hanged, lie said that he had made his peace with God and that bc was going to death without fear. He said that he deserved lo die and asked thc sheriff not to mind it. Ile asked God\s blessing on the sheriff, thc deputies and all present. Ile asked Mr. IO \Y Evans, on whose, place he commit ted thc murder, to tell his mother in-law that he bad nothing against ber and sent his love, to them all and asked thal they meet him in heaven. Thc black cap was adjusted and at 11:39 thc trap was sprung. The fall failed to break thc murderer's neck and it was 12:06 when thc, doctors announced that he was dead as a result of strangulation. His body was cut down and taken away to thc potter's field and buri ed by thc county, Thc sheriff, in accordance with thc law, allowed only a very lew to see thc execution. More than 1,000 applied for admission cards. Thc murder was committed on thc 24th of April, 1907, in the. after noon and that night thc sherill' had applications tor admission cards to thc hanging. Malloy was about 30 years old, six feel in height, and appeared to bc of thc average, intelligence. Before thc execution bc had allow ed his board lo grow out and his face was covered by it.

In 1907 ho hired to Mr. Evans again. A long in thal year lie married tho girl whom he afterwards murder ed. She hail hoon living on tho Evans1 place tor some yon rs with her mother ami was not more than lo yours of ago. For about six months after tho marriage Jim anti his wife gol along all right and then tho t rouble began. Jim seemed to bo insanely jealous of her I lo would b?at, kick, and in short I real her w it li :ill I ho mean noss possible. Unable lo stand Ulis any longer she left him and wont to live willi her mother about, throe hundred yards distant. A boil I ton dn,\ s after that Jim pretended that ho was sick and laid up ut his hoinr. Mo SOld word to bis wife thal li" was sick and ask cd that she cook him something to cat. This she did and carried to him. A short timo after she enter ed the house a woman living near by beard screams and running to some bands in a nearby field, she told them that she believed Jim Malloy bad killed his wife. Thc bands went to tho house and not being p.ble to get in broke open tho door. They found thc body of thc woman in another room with a sheet thrown over it and a trail of blood all around. Pulling back thc sheet a borriblo sight met their eyes. The w?man' throat bad been cut from car to car and ber bead was held on only by tho bono. After killing ber Jim took ber by thc feet and dragged her body into an adjoining room and threw thc sheet over it. Jim was found in thc loft where bc bad attempted to hide and was taken down and tied awaiting the arrival of thc sheriff. When that officer came bc was turned over to him and taken to jail. Malloy was tried at the June term of thc court in 1907 and sen tenced to hang in July. Having no lawyers the court appointed Owens and LcGrand to defend him and this they did to the best of their ability. The carrying out of thc sentence was stayed pending an appeal tc thc supreme court which bad boen made by Jim's lawyers. This ap peal was refused und at thc March term of court this year Judge Al drich sentenced Jim to hang on tin 22nd of May. A petition was pre sented to the pardoning board ir an effort to have thc sentence com muted to life imprisonment bui again failure resulted and the mur derer's last hope, was gone.

A dastardly murder wa: avenged by thc legal execution o tho murderer and it will have i beneficial effect upon all dispose? to disregard thc laws of thc land. ? ?> * Statement from Mrs G rice.

Itrnnir? Indian Relio WMoh BM Stood nt Morrl*, III., for Uvor Tvf-o Ilnndred Yearn, At Morris, 111., on tho west eldo o| Wnuponscc street, between Washings ton and Canal, stamin a pole about 80 feet high, which is known as the "In dian polo." It is protected at the base by n close-fitting piece ot flagging, which ia surmounted by an iron fence, these having been placed thero years ngo by the city. There is nothing real ly known about the old landmark ex cepting that it was where it now rd an dr ANCIENT INDIAN POI.n. (Ix>cn(cd on Wiuiponsee Street at Morrl?, Grundy County, III.) when the first settlers came to the community, and, furthermore, Shah bona, the old Indian ediief, could t?U nothing about the pole, os lt had beec there as long ns lie could remember. An old Indian named Clark told thc following Ftory concerning this monu ment; Nnequctt, a celebrated chief, was killed tn Ifhttle ot the spot, burieC there ond thc cedar pole erected to hi? memory. His squaw died later and her body was placed beside his. Clark said the fight bogan ot Blue Island, the tribe retreated and met their foe ot the site of Oakwood cemetery, doliet, and again bad n hard-fought battle ot Nettie crook. Morris, and the last was ot Starved rook, where most of those who took refuge perished. One writer says: "Tho death of Noequott was probably between 10S0 and 1700, and the polo moy have been placed there nf that time." Tn speaking of this ?dd monument P. A. Armstrong, historian of the Black Hawk war, and "The Friend of Old Shabbona," said to a Chicago Chron icle correspondent: "There is no doubt in my mind that tho pole Is nearly 2.'0 years old. When La Salle and Juliet went nj) the river where Morris now stands was an Indian village contain ing about 2,000 inhabitants, and when Shabbona cairn- herc, which was about Ibo year I SOO, tho pole was thero and none of tin? Indians know when it waa placed there. Tho story given by Clark i.) thc ei?eet that thc chief, Nncquett, was.buried lhere is generally believed, for whoa thc canal was being built some of thc workmen made rome ex cavations nt the base of the polo ami unearthed the skeleton of a man and il woman, tho things buried with Hie man sighifytng that he had boon a great and braw chief. For lear of an upris ing of the Indians tho bodies were not removed and the affair was kept from them. When 1 hattie here there were hieroglyphics ail over ibo pole, but they ire not distinct now, ns r. fire which destroyed n building standing within a few feet of thc landmark partly burned the pole Oil the sides." ADELBERT S. HAY. Peerelury of Mate's Yotiuu; Son Bao* ceeda Slr, Mncrnm ns inlird Kiatcii Ooo mi I ut Pretoria. Tho appointment of Adelbert S. Hay, ion of Secretary of State Hay, as Unit ed Stales consul at Pretoria lo succeed Mri Macram, has been received with much satisfaction by Englishmen lorio.

Iiis duties Include Ibo Is suing of consular certificates on ali American goods imported lulo the Transvaal, and ho is also supposed to look after Hie interests of thc 4,000 or more Ane. ri? ans w ho make their homes lu Pretoria or In thc country there abouts. As lhere is practically nothing exported from the Transvaal to Hu1 United Stales, Ito has little to do in thal direction.

Thc foliage 1B more easily in jured IIB the season progresses, there fore thc necessity of diluting U\c ma terial used at each subBcquent applica tion. Apply after the bloom falls and tt interval? of ten days thereafter. For leaf scab, with which orchard ists have had BO much trouble and ftavo so faithfully lnl>orcd to destroy, nnd mildew on grapevines, grape rot and oih*r fungus disease?, thc follow ing has proved efficient: DlsaoWe ?tx poumls of s?lphatc of oopper Jn hot water In a wooden vessel. Slack four pounds of fresh lime in another res-1 Bel and strain out all thc coarBcr ma terial. Dilute the lime with 50 to 75 gallons *>f water and then add thc sul phate of copper. Tliia is for use on plants In leaf. (opper sulphate solu tion, which should be UBcd only on plitnts In early spring before, leaves appear, is made by dissolving one pound of sulphate of copper in 25 gal lons of water to be used In this form. A combination mixture, for both in sect? and fungi is mude by putting london purple or paris green In a bar rel with Dordeaux mixture. The bark louse yields to the following: One pound of common soap dissolved in one gallon of hot water; add two gal lons of kerosene and churn, with a force pump If yon have one, or hy atti ring until the kerosene and soapsuds uro thoroughly mixed. If the work ha? been done right, the emulsion will have the appearance of very thick cream, and the oil will remain Incor porated with the soap and water. Di lute with 30 to 75 gallons of water when using. Any of the mixtures will prove very destructive to the pests if applied properly. They should be ap plied with a force pump with a spray nozzle. FOR THE ORCHARD. HOW to Mullel a l'luii I UK Hunt for HaaltnK Away I.tinbN und TwtffS Cul from Tree?. The prunlng-boat is a handy, home mado necessity I noticed in a Washing ton orchard, lt is used for hauling away thc limbs and twigs cut from the fruit-trees tu a convenient place, where they ero burned. Thc boat is nothing moro than a sled eight by twelve feet, with a platform of inch boards to receive the primings. Three MUt VU Vi ri 1 A PnUNlKfJ BOAT, or four men with pruning knives und saws cut the surplus limbs from two rows cf trees nt the same lime, and throw tliim on the boat, to which a pair of horses is hitched. When a big brush heap is made the branches are drawn away lo the tire a lld consumed. This assists in ridding the orchard of In sects am1, disease germs, und saves the work of collecting the primings after an orchard has been trimmed, The boat may also be used as a barn-yard ma nure-s?ed. ami for hauling hay and corn-fodder to the feeding-yard*.
