ceived, 4ll4; adjusted, 4O03; amount involved,
$219, 1906. The Auditor enters into considerable
explanation of the work in his Bureau, from
which it appears that his, showing for this year
is not so good as for last year, because he
has been Obliged to spend much time and
labor on a few accounts, being those of
the paymasters appointed early In the
war, who kept their papers in a very bungling
and inaccurate manner, so that their adjustment
has required an extraordinary amount of In
dustry and diligence. He congratulates himself
and the Secretary that final disposition has
been made of very many troublesome cases. He
closes with the remark that the amount of work
coming to his bureau Will be less when the
business occasioned by the war is cleared off,
and necessary records now in progress are COM
pleted and that he will then recommend the
discharge of such clerks as are not needed.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE RoN II STATE
PRISON AT TRESroy.-A very e%xtraordi-
nary escape from the State Prison oc-
Cured at an early hour Tuesday morn
ing. James Morris, alias David Kently,
from Salem county, sentenced to seven
years Imprisonment, having broken out
of the New York Tombs, Siug-Sing aud
the Michigan and Ohio Penitentiaries,
was confined in o solitary cell in the
third tier of the new wing, under the
constant supervision Of a watchman.
Ho must have been for some time en-
gagged in preparations, as a hole was
made in the wall, behind q closet,
through which he escaped to q loft.
Having made q rope ladder of wax ends,
he probably obtained the pine sticks Tor
the rounds in this loft. AT about one
o'clock In the morning, as is supposed,
he left q "dummy" In his bed, climbed
into the loft, and bored his way to the
roof. He next made q ladder out OF two
timbers from the loft, climbed upon the
main building, crossed its ROOT, and let
himself down to the ground by bis rope
ladder. Here he travelled backward and
forward in the snow, completely hiding
his tracks-and then left for regions un-
known. In his escape from the Michi-
gan Penitentiary, he had his feet frozen,
and the ends of both were amputated.
The fellow told tho officers that he in
tended to "leavc" as soon as he got
tired of the prison.-NeSark Advertiser

A Romantic Aaair-An Overuown Youth
Makes Love 20 q Rich Widow.

The st. Louis Democrat says: Brief
mention was made q few days ago Of
the arrest Of o young man named Van
Ankin, charged with stealing $1,000
from Mrs. Pace, q rich widow from
North Newburg, Michigan. It is alleged
that while the lady was %slumbering In a
sleeping car on the way from Chicago
to ST. Louis, the young man inserted bis
hand under her pillow and distracted
the sum Of ST., 200 that at the time Of
the larceny he was under o promise to
marry the widow on their arrival 10 st.
Louis, but that he tailed both to fulfill
his promise and to restore the cash.
Van Aukiu, who is q well known
young man, or rather o "big boy Of
twenty-one, gives o somewhat different
version of the affair. He said he was
raised in the same town with Mrs. p,
who is seven years his senior that for
several years he has been her cavalier
ssrpente-frequently travelling with her,
and often receiving money from her.
He does not deny that be allowed her
to believe that he intended to make her
his wife and himself the step-father Of
her four children, but says that was a
step farther than he really meant to go.
The loving couple recently started for
Omaha, where the calculation was that
they should be united. At Detroit she
gave him $420, a portion Of which he
spent on the road, and but 500 remain
ed on their arrival at St. Louis. He
thinks that the whole amount he ever
received from the widow was about
$1,000.
The interesting pair put up at the
Southern Hotel and remained there all
night. The next day he purchased tick
cts for st. Joseph, put the widow on
board the train, and telling her that he
had no idea of assuming the response
bility of the head Of a family, stepped
upon terra firma and left her to 20 on
her journey alone He obtained en-
ployment at j. T. Cozzens & Co.'s, but
receiving n letter of warning from his
father, returned home in o day or two.
At his fathers house, while playing q
game Of euchre; an officer stepped in
and arrested him, and here he Is. The
lady returned from St. Joseph, in COM
pany with a husband, which she man
aged to pick up in that locality, and the
parties are all in the city. Of course
nothing can be done with the young
man in this State, as the alleged lar
ceny was committed Ia some other
State +; but as tho lady has secured a
husband, she will perhaps not be anx-
ious to prosecute the big boy who de-
ceiyed her and triaed with her affec'
tions.

Tar WoNAx-MAS SroEY. Two or three
weeks ago we published a tall story
about a feminine transformation that no
doubt was difficult to digest. One sub
scriber came quite q distance to usk US
If il were true of course we could not
answer. The following is probably q
more sufficient answer for him and many
others:
Some of our exchanges doubt the
truth of the strange story We published
not long since in regard to the wonder
full change Of sex Of Mfs. Ellen Powell,
Of Broadhead, Wis, from q woman to e
man, she being q few years since q wife,
now q husband-then a CONAN, now q
man! We cannot blame people for be-
ing incredulous, but the story Is a true
one. It Is too wonderful for belief-it
startles even the medical world. We
published the article, knowing 1t sound
ed too strange to be true-knowing IL
would be deemed o hoax, but the story
Is a true one, stranger than fiction, and
those who deem It otherwise are the
only ones sold. We repeat, on our
honor as q journalist-on the honor OF
q man, the story is true, the former
woman 10 now . man, the former wife Is
now a husband, etc.-La Crosss Demo.
erat, Jon. 2sh.
We are satisfied that the Democrat
vould not have furnished the name and
residence Of the lady had the fact not
been as stated. We hope there will not
be many Ellen Powells, for II such
transformations become popular and
fashionable the result may be awful to
contemplate.
