Stroud, of Juneau, Alaska will be the first man legally hanged in Kansas in almost TiO years unless President Wilson saves him by ex ercise of executve clemency. The last legal hanging in this state took place in 1 S 7 0 and the death pen alty wu-s abolished in Kansas in 1907 but Stroud was tried and convicted in federal courts for a murder com mitted in the federal penitentary here and sentenced under federal law to be hanged. Another unusual feature of the ease is the fact that he would have escaped with imprisonment if he had not insisted upon a third trial, which .resulted n a death sentence. If it is carried out he will be the first man to be executed in Leavenworth pris on. Stroud was serving a 12 year sen tence in the penitentiary for the kill ing of a man in Alaska in a quarrel over a dance hall girl, when in 1916 he attacked Andrew E. Turner, a pris on guard, and stabbed him to death with a dagger which he had made from a table knife, and carried in a concealed pocket in his coat. Stroud asserted subsequently that Turner had called him a name. Far this killing Stroud had three trials. In the first he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death, but the court of appeals re manded the case on the ground that the trial judge had failed to inform the jury f its privilege of bringing in a "qualified verdict" limiting his punishment to life imprisonment. In ,l,e second trial the jury availed lt- ir of this legal provision and sen- . . .. n . 1 1 lelli'i mI him for lite. srrouu h iaw- VI felt that tliey nau gttiucu a viw- . ... ....luMtior'., InstKtpnre ! . tory, nut ai me in I...-. n .i, ,.;ise was again appealed, and at his third trial Stroud was once more j found guilty and sentenceu to ueam. The case was carried to the United States Supreme Court which affirm ed the sentence. Stroud has been aided by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud, who came from Alaska in an effort to save his life. She. appealed to President wuson to commute the death sentence. EllzaSeth and Billy Saunden and Dorl Simonds left Thursday to spend the Easter holidays with friends Maple.

SuLject: Abner Died As A Fool Dieth A large crowd heard li-v. ( Lumpkn, Thursday night on T. 'the text. ' Aimer died a.s a I iol dieth,'" 2 Sam. :i:S3. Mr. Lumpkin briefly gave the his tory of this young soldier of Is real who allowed himself to be fooled in to secret counsel with Joab his ene my and killed when he was not on the alert. David the king said of this foolish risk "Abner died as a fool dieth." He died as a fool dieth because he built his life on sin and false hopes, he cause he was too credulous and un derestimated the danger, and because he died within one step of the gate of safety, the city of Hebron within which no man could be slain. So does the sinner live the life of folly and die the death of a fool who builds his life on the promises of Sa tan, who overestimates his strength to overcome temptation, to live right without (eel. and dies within one -tep ol -aivalion. lailh ill Jiniis Christ, the Kock of Safety for all who will b liwo. .Mr. Lumpkin said every por-mi pl'i-elil Wa hllllili'lg life, hope atll ' erna I de-t ,uy on the prom i -e.s of ( ; . id or i he prom i es of the Devil t here is just one step from t he of sin with its false promi-es and life a nd llele.lt to a life III ('1111.

The cost of removing the stumps in this manner is only 34 cents earh and the farmers are finding out that it is is far better to get rid of these encumbrances at once, and rid them selves of the trouble and inconven ience of leaving them in the ground till they decay, a process that takes from ten to fifteen years. Ev ery stump so left, damages the crop at least 30 cents a season and means useless labor to the fafmer, and wear and tear on his team and farming equipment.

"I have noticed that they never seem to get confused when an alarm is turned in, and although the streets are sometimes crowded, they rush through without any serious accident-, and make the best time of any company that has ever come under my observation.
