The Prisoners in Jail Attempt
 to Escape.

When Jailor Strickland entered the room above the jail last Monday morn- | ing he discovered that the prisoners had made daring effort during the night to release themselves from impris- onmen., by saving the iron bars of the trap door leading from the room above to the jail below.
 There are two prisoners in confine- ment. Carl Paddock from Dover and George Gray from Lee township. Had dock is in for burglary and Gray is charged with bigamy.
 They executed the job which came near gaining them liberty, in very clever manner, showing that one of them, at least, is proficient in ways that are dark and tricks that are valn. The first thing done was to unrayel a wooden sock and wind the thread into little balls. This seems at first blush to be trifling thing in itself, but the balls played an important part in the affair, as the sequel will show. Then strips were torn from the covering of the bed on which they slept, these were tied to the four corners of blanket. A tin plate was broken in the center, sharp ened on the stone wall of the prison and prepared to perform the functions of saw.
 Being ready, they took position un- derneath the door, and, although 1t was twenty feet above, they threw the balls before mentioned, through the aper- lures between the iron cross bars, they going through one and falling back through another. The threads were tied to the strips attached to the blanket and they likewise were drawn through the apertures. One of them stepped into the blanket and was drawn up by his comrade to the net work of iron which stood between them and liberty. The saws proved adequate for the pur- pose and neatly sundered the bars to which the hasps were affixed. Visions of freedom doubtless filled their hearts with joy as the last stroke was made which severed the bars. They expect ed to raise the door and march forth. But they reckoned wrongly. The bars were thick, and having been cut vertically, ''pinched" together as the door was pressed upward and refused to yield to the force beneath. So the work so cleavsrly planned and neatly executed availed them nothing.
 Either the lateness of the hour or chagrin at their failure, caused them to take down the Hammock, and when the jailor entered he found them crouched in one corner of the jail roundly berating the fates which seem- ed to be against them.
 They made full confession, telling how the work was done.
 The jailor has had his suspicious aroused some time, and only few days ago searched and found evidence of contemplated attempt to escape.
 They are pretty sharp. but will have to be slick indeed if they get away. for the jailor's diligence has been redoub- led since Mondays disclosures.

Sick Headache

IS complaint from which many suffer l and few are entirely free. Its cause is indigestion and a sluggish liver, the cure for which is readily found in the use of Ayers Pills.

 After the use of Ayers Pills for many years, in my practice and family, I am justified in saying that they are an excellent cathartic and liver medicine sustaining all the claims made for them" W. A. Westfall, Nj. D., V. P. Austin & N. ". Railway Co.,, Burnet, Texas.

By using three boxes of Ayers Pills, and at the same time dieting myself, was completely cured" Philip Lockwood, Topeka, Kansas.

From Messrs. J. W. Rudy and NJ. 'C. Kirkscey of Dover township we learned Tuesday that the boil worm had materially ceased operations in their respective crops. The same re- port comes to us from other farmers in various parts of the county.
 From the best accounts obtainable we conclude that the cotton crops of this county, in the uplands especially, have been damaged more the past week from the effects of dry weather, than from the boil worm. Between the two the feecy staple is having rather a hard time Of it. But, with all the adverse surroundings, there are few, indeed, who will con- tend that the crop has been damaged more than 25 per cent. on an average the county over.
