MONTGOMERY HANGS
The Boy Murderer Exhibited
Wonderful Pluck.
FREELY CONFESSED HIS GUILT
And Made a Written Statement in
Which Be Implored Forgive
ness For the Crime.
Albany, Or., Jan. 31. Lloyd Breson
Montgomery, the eelf-confessed murder
er of his father and mother and D. Mc
Kercher, was hanged at 7 o'clock this
morning in the enclosure of the jail
yard. The prisoner exhibited wonderful
pluck, and did not flinch upon the Bcaf
fold. About half an hour before the ex
ecution Montgomery eaid he would con
fess all. "I am guilty," he said "I
killed them all. I will write it out."
He then wrote out the following state
ment: I did it, I am guilty. Oh God, have
mercy on me I Take me as I am, a poor '
sinner ! I am sorry for what I have
done; God, do have mercy on my poor
soul for my sake do, and forgive all my
sins each and every one of them, and
forgive those who sin against me. Oh
God, help precious souls to see the way
of life ; for my sake" do help them and
guide them through this life. Amen."
As he left for the scaffold be said : "I
want you people to know I am sorry for
what I have done. I am ready to die. I
deserve it."
After stepping upon the platform,
Montgomery said : "Friends, I am eorry
for what I have done, and I hope you
will all forgive me, and 1 hope the Lord
will be with you, and I ask God to have
mercy on m6 as a poor sinner, and I ask
you to pray for me."
Earnest prayers was then delivered by
Eev. J. E. Snyder. After being securely
pinioned, the doomed boy" said : "Oh,
Christ I forgive me, and I hope you will
all meet me in heaven, and I ask God to
take me as I am."
The sheriff then adjusted the black
cap and rope, and stepped back, when
Montgomery said: "Oh, God! have
mercy on me, a sinner. Take me as I
am. My friends, farewell, farewell."
Sheriff McFeron then pressed the trig
ger, and the body shot downwards full
six feet. There was no struggle, only a
slight tremor. The head was bent for
ward and to one side, and the neck was
. broken. . At fourteeen-and-a-half min
utes the heart ceased to beat, and at sixteen-and-a-half
minutes he was pro
nounced dead. The body was then cut
down. It will be placed in the court
house for a short time and will be
turned over to doctors fpr an autoppy
before burial. His relatives refused to
take possession of the- body or bury it.
A CHICAGO BANQUET.
In Commemoration ol the Birth of
Alexander Hamilton.
Chicago, Jan. 31. The annual ban
quet of the Hamilton Club, in commem
oration of the birth of Alexander Ham
ilton, was held in the Auditorium to
night. The great dining ball of the
hotel was decorated in a lavish manner
for the occasion, and fully 300 of the
most prominent men in the city were
present. Many notable men from other
places were also at the board. Presi
dent Samuel W. Allerton, of the club,
acted aatoastmaster. It had been ex
pected that Governor Morton, of New
York, ex-Secretary of the Interior Noble
and Senator Foraker would be present,
but they were unavoidably absent. Gov
ernor Bushnell, of Ohio, responded to
the toast of "Republicans of Ohio," and
Bishop Chase Cheney, of Chicago, to
"Tne Patriot."
An Execution at Kalama.
Kalama, Wash,, Jan. 31. Charles
ABimers, a buncb-back, was hanged here
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ri
todav for the murder- of James Goed
wood last September.
At exactly 9:30Asimers cams out of
his cell and walked between two deputy
sheriffs up the steps ot the scaffold. As
soon as he was in position on the drop,
he commenced talking in a hesitating,
disconnected manner. His words were :
"I must die, I am all right, sheriff; be
good man, I must die, I'm all right."
While he was saying this deputies were
strapping his arms and legs and adjust
ing the noose. With the last words,
Sheriff Watsoa touched a lever at 9 :32
and the body dropped nine feet. He
was pronouriced dead at 9:36 and cut
down at 9 :37. Every detail passed off
in the smoothest ' possible manner.
About thirty people witnessed the exe
cution, mostly sheriffs, doctors and
newspaper men.
A NKW COMPLICATION.
Britain Li Claim to Prince Edward's
Island.
Montreal, Jan. 29. A special to the
Star from London says :
Lord Salisbury and Right Hon. Mr.
Chamberlain have been considering the
result of the inquiries into the records
here made on behalf of British Colum
bia, which show that the United States
has no right under the Anglo-Russian
treaty of 1825 to the 3,000,000 acres of
land of Prince of Wales island in the
Pacific coast, which is of great strategic
and commercial value, and which the
United States has usurped since buying
Alaska. The records of the dispatches
of Bagot to Lord Canning show that
Clarence straits and not Portland inlet is
the correct boundary. It is suggested
that the Canadian members of the Alas
kan boundary commission have "been
misled into assuming the correctness of
the United States assumption.
None Bat Ajer'i at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world'B fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."
Lively in Louisiana.
New Orleans, Jan. 29. The meeting
of the republican state convention today
resulted in one of the most exciting ses
sions in the history of the party in this
state. The fight between the McKinley
and Reed forces for the four delegates at
large to the national republican conven
tion at St. Louis is becoming lively.
NeKinley captured the four delegates in
the districts yesterday. This made the
Reed men, led by ex-Governon Kellogg,
universally anxious to capture the four
delegates at large, to be selected by the
convention. The McKinley forces gained
control of the temporary organization ot
the convention, but the Reed men wrest
ed it from them today in the convention.
Out ot the convention 600 delegates,
the seats of 290 were contested. The
convention took a recess until the cre
dentials committee could report.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I ubb it in
preference to any other." So wrote Mr.
3. H.. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. 8. Russell,, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it."
No Funds to Draw On.
Los Gatos, Cal., Jan. 29. Theodore
K. Murray was brought by Sheriff Lyn-
aon irom ban Jose tnis morning at the
instigation of G. L. Turner, of the Bank
of Los Gatos, on a charge of forgery in
getting a check for $500 cashed when no
funds were to his credit in Visalia.
HOT BREAD AND CAKES.
Delicious - Things for
Breakfast and
Tea.
One of the delights of the old-fashioned
tea-table was the delicious "tea
bread," baked of 'vvhea.ten flour . and
eggs and made in thin "sheets like old
time shortcake. These cakes, with
shortcake and Johnny cake, are also ex
cellent breakfast breads. All such
cakes are baked in shallow pans and are
not over 1 or iys inches thick when
baked.
The old-fashioned tea bread is made
with butter the size of an eg'g' beaten
to a cream with a quarter of a cup of
sugar and the-yolks of two eggs added.
The whole is to be stirred vigorously
with a woodoji spoon, finally addi.og
two cups of milk. Meantime, sift four
cups of flour with, two even teaspocn
fuls of cream tartar and a half a tea
spoonful of soda. Pour the eggs, milk,
butter and sugar into the flour; beat
out the lumps and beat the batter till
it "blisters," and then "fold in" the
beaten whites of the eggs and bake the
cake in two shallowVbiscuit pans of tin.
It will take about 20 minutes or less in
a quick oven. This is an excellent
bread to serve with coffee.
Johnny cake is made by soaking
three cups of yellow cornmeal in four
cups of sour milk or buttermilk over
night, or for six or eight hours. In the
morning add half a teaspoonful of salt,
a tablespoon fill of brown sugar qrgood
molasses, one egg and a large teaspoon
ful of soda. Beat the batter well. It
will be quite thin. Tour it into two
shallow biscuit" pans and bake from
half to three-quarters of an hour in a
hot oven. This is a very delicious
though simple bread.
The term pancake as applied to our
American griddle is a misnomer in sev
eral ways. The true cake baked in a
pan is thinner than griddle cake and
must be composed of an entirely differ-,
ent batter to be a success. The spe
cial delicacy of the pancake consists in
its wafer-like thinness. It is made of
one of the most delicate batters known
to the cook, and requires the liberal
use of eggs to keep it in form. If it
were thick enough to be baked on a
griddle these eggs would make it
tough, but because of the delicacy of
this batter and the more rapid baking
of the pan they are a necessity. The
shortening necessary to a perfect grid
dle cake is omitted because if it were
used in so thin a cake as the pancake
it would not endure the process of toss
jng, but would break apart in the pan.
The pancake is made of the best
wheaten pastry flour mixed with milk
and eggs. . Sift a pint of pastry flour
and a heaping tablespoonful of pow
dered sugar into an earthen bowl. Add
a pint of milk gradually, beating out
all the lumps, i;nd finally add three
well-beaten, eggs. Beat this batter
vigorously with the large-sized patent
beater used for eggs. Bake the batter,
using three tablespconfuls at a time,
to form a single cake. Fry in the cen
ter of a frying pan of sheet-iron but
tered lightly for the purpose.
Dredge powdered sugar over ' each
pancake as it is baked,' and roll it up,
slip it on a hot plate, and fry another.
Serve the plateful with quarters of
lemon, which arc squeezed over them
as they are eaten. These calces do not
fry properly on a griddle. If you wish
jelly pancakes omit the powdered
sugar and spread the cakes instead
with plum, currant, quince or aiiy
jelly you prefer. Roll them up and
glaze them by dredging them with
powdered sugar and searing them each
in three or four places with a red-hot
iron. A straight poker washed clean
and heated will do the work admirably.
Pineapple jelly or marmalade is espe
cially nice with these pancakes.
A thicker German pancake may be
made by pouring all the batter of this
rule into a large sheet-iron frying-pan
and letting it cook for three minutes
on one side. After this spread it with
preserved pineapple or ordinary rich
apple sauce, dredge it with 'sugar and
set it in a hot oven to cook for six min
utes longer. These are the pancakes
universally known in French families
and always prepared on Shrove Tues
day, when it is customary for all the
family to toss one up for "good luck."
The process of tossing, when, by a deft
twist of the wrist, the professional
cook turns his pancake or omelette,
may well be omitted on ordinary occa
sions and the cake turned with a regu
lar griddlecake-tumer. There are com
paratively few modern household cooks
who can successfully toss a "flapjack,"
and such triumphs may be relegated to
sailors and "campers-out" with . no
modern utensils to work with. If. Y.
