A CLEVER ESCAPE.

Among the prisoners at the "Old
Capitol" in Washington during the win
ter of lS63-64 WAS one George Shearer, of
epherdstown, VIVA. a tall. 1.-the, mu.-
cular fellow. Some prisoner had GU
away one of the window sills from around
one of the iron bars, so that it could be
pushed aside sufficiently to admit the
body of man. The cut had been kept
filed up with lime and dir: so as not to
be noticed. Many had contemplated
making their escape there, but the un-
dertaking was SO hazardous and the OPP
portunities SO few, owing to the number
of passers by in addition to the sentinels,
that no attempt had ever been made.
But Shearer determined to try it.
He chose December night. and Just
after the guards mad met and passed al
most under his window, Shearer pressed
himself through the bars and slid noise
lessly down on a blanket used as a rope,
! and with cat-like spring that he had
pract'ced during recreation hours for
weeks, he was beyond the curbing !;
thFb " aiNiHp itiSu'cIy dtTOSS the StTeti,
taking diagonal direction so as not to
appear to come directly from the prison,
and disappeared in the darkness. The
blanket was drawn back and the bar re-
! placed. The sentinel was under the
window scarce two minutes from the
time he had left it and all appeared well.
None of the comrades that Shearer left
behind him dared to undertake what lie
had so successfully performed; so the
blanket was unstrapped and the cut in
| the window filled up.
The prisoners were allowed to receive
short notes of a personal nature from
their relatives, they 6rst being read by
the officer in charge. A few days after
Sheare''s escape, the writer's chum re-
ceiyed note from his sister, saying,
we were all delighted at the arrival OF
Cousin Sally, on Wednesday night,
from New York. She will remain with
us few days" Surely there is nothing
contrahand about that, but told the pris-
oners that Shearer was safe. Again an
other said, cousin Sally left us last Sat-
urday night. and we hear she arrived
safely home" and it was known that
| Shearer had landed in Dixie"

The Overland Monthly.

The Overland Monthly for February has
come to hand, and deserves hearty
welcome wherever it goes. The illus
trstions are in an article on San Diego
by T. S. Van Dyke. The climate and
new improvements that Mr.. VanDyke
writes about, gives plain ground for his
confidence that there is no bottom to
the California boom to drop out. In
the historical line there is another diary
of man present when gold was discov-
cred at Sntter & Marshall's Coloma
mill. 1t was kept by Azariah Smith,
and lends strong confirmation to the po-
sition of Mr.. John S. Hittel (who ammo
tates the paper that the date of his dis
covery was January "a, 1918, not Janu-
airy 10. as has been generally held.

In the famous convention of the tail

that there were only three tailors pres
ent, though they called themselves
"the people of England" If a meeting
of annexationists was called tomorrow

the few present might be fool hardy
enough to call themselves the people Of

nexation is scarcely able to crawl, and
like the spook of Banquo is horrible
phantasy that is ordered "bence hence!

EDITORIAL NOTES.

This county expects large additions to
her population this year, and we see no
good reason why her expectations
should not be realized. For the home
seeker Idaho county offers rare induce
ments. Thousands of acres of fine ag
rcultural land still remains unclaimed,
and now is the time to make selections
of homesites.

After all the big scare and huflabaloo
about the tariff, the admission of Utah
and the segregation of Idaho, it looks
now as though congress was going to
plod right along and sde-track the
whole business. It's getting to be so
nowadays that congress has so much
private business to attend to in Wash
lngton that, and fortunately for the
country, they haven't much time to
