The New York Evening Post speaks Of
Gustavus Adolphu. Reser, better known
among his countrymen as "RGsler Won
Oels," as one OF the purest and most gifted
Of the German patriots whom the disastrous
volution Of lS4S drove to this country, and
who died on the morning OF the 18th inst,
a, Quincy, Illinois, of black vomit.
He was member of the German Parlia-
men, which met at Frankfort, was active in
the Baden insure ction, was imprisoned,
July 3, 1919, let on a bail, and again mprs-
oned. Dec. 2Sth. He tried to escupe--but
fuied. At length his wife resolved TO take
the matter in hand, and, like heroic wo-
man, sold all she had, removed TO the place
where he was confined, supplied him with
forged passes, money and arms, and effect
cd his escape.
.On the 22d of February, having compile
ted all her arrangements. and secured the
services of some men worthy OF confidence.
Ma lame RpsleI visited her husband in his
prison, and, at a given signal, while she d.
verified the attention of the keeper, he, by
means of rope.ladders thrown over the walls
of the prison yard, to which he had access
during the day, made good his escape. He
was already some miles distant before he
was missed, and on the morning Of the gath,
after deluding his pursuers by numerous
.rtifces. reached Switzerland, once more a
free man. His wife and the keepers and
sentry Of the fortress were arrested. but
after a rigid and tedious examination the
former was discharged"
Rpsler died dispirted and poor, leaving
wife and four children behind him without
the means of support. But can such wo.
man ever want! Will she or her children
suffer in Illinois Never, we trust, while
warm hearts are found on her SOIL
