Double Execution.
Carbondale, IUM July 10. Ful
ly 10,000 people gathered at Ma
rion today, to witness a double le
gal execution. All during the
night trains brought people. All
trains were crowded and the elec
tric lines were packed.- The
knowledge became general that
Sheriff Harris would execute the
murderers, Graves and Price, at 9
o'clock. They passed a restless
night and arose early. Both had
embraced religion and were con
stantly attended by ministers.
The men were led to the scaffold
at 9:31. Both made short talks,
warning young men of the fate
that had overtaken them. The
drop fell at 9 :36. Price's neck
was broken, but Graves was stran
gled to death.
A Dish of Carrots.
JNew carrots are among our
most wholesome vegetables. They
are delicious cooked as follows :
Scrape lightly and cut into straws ;
cook in salted water. Strain off
he . V 1 L 'f'l
per,, a little onion v juice and a
lump' of butter and return- to
saucepan until the butter is melt
ed, shaking the carrots about in it
until alb- are glazed. Pour into
a hot dish for serving. If you
have green peas boil a cupful of
them and pour over the carrots
when they are in the dish. It
makes one of the prettiest of veg
etable dishes and is as good as it
looks. Ex,
Conscience Fuud Payments. '
Washington, July 11. A second
installment of $500, mailed at
Boston, was recived at the treas
ury to day for the consience found.
Like the similar amounts received
yesterday, the contribution is in
bills of $100 each, and the envel
opes and chirography are similar.
Treasury offcials are wondering
whether Monday's mail will
bring a third installment and
how long the remittance will last
before the man's conscience is ap
peased. No intimation was given
of the manner in which the gov
ernment was defrauded of this
amount.
Promotion for Ctpt. Lamberton.

berton, who. was Dewey's chief of
staff in the battle of Manila bay

' Catarrh of the Stomach.
.
When' the stomach is overload
ed ; when food is taken into it
that fails to digest, it decays and
inflames the mucous membrane,
exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secrete mucin, in
stead ofthe natural juices of di
gestion. This is called Catarrh
of the Stomach. "For years I
suffered with Catarrh-of the Stom
ach, caused by indigestion. Doc
tors and medicines failed to bene
fit me until I used Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure." tJ. R. Rhea, Coppell,
