A Man In skirts.

II among others, was standing on
the sidewalk near old man Henry
Jones store. and saw a queer looking
object coming down the street. II was
a man somewhat above the ordinary
height, with a long. snow white beard
and a pair of white mustacnes that
nearly completed the covering of his
face"
"Well!'
HE wore a woman's old fashioned
fly bonnet, which Topped over his
face and concealed his head, giving
him tIe appearance of one Of those
pictures OF patriarchs that you see in
Sunday school books"
"Why did lie wear it.
Hold on. That is not all. He hat
ON a calico frock that reached TO the
ankles, cut in the old fashioned body
and skirt style, which made him look
still more like a patriarch. The strings
OF his apron hung down behind just
like those of a country woman in her
every day dress of twenty years ago.
As he came striding down the street,
the legs of his heavy boots exposed at
every stride, he was about the greenest
specimen of humanity | ever struck.
There was a mob at his heels aud
everybody stared at him AS lac passed.

His name is Roberts, and he was
born and still lives in Jones county.
For some reason that | do not know

sued by the state authorities granting
him permission Ia wear women's

The Best Treatment for Those Afflicted
with Criminal symptoms.


with Criminal symptoms.
In recent times the idea has become
very prevalent among certain class of
sentimentalists that crime is not an in
dication of innate depravity, but
a symptom of mental and physical
disease, or an inheritance from
some criminal ancestor, and. there
fore, the much-abused murderer or rob-
Der is not a bad man, but only an un-
fortunate one, deserving of pity and
care rather than punishment A sick
man. they say, ought not to be impris-
oned. and one who is staggering under
load of hom;cidal tendencies be-
queathed to him by his grandfather is
not worthy of death. even if he does oc-
casionally send some of his less unfortu-
nate fellowbeings into the next world.
A man physically and mentally sound is
less likely TO commit criminal acts than
one with diseased body or abnormal
mental action, and the history of the
notorious Jukes family proves beyond
question that from single criminal
ancestor may spring long line of de-
scendants. a majority of whom will be
enemies to the welfare Of society. But
granting that a tendency 10 crime may
be inherited, il must originate some
where, and If a mans ancestor may have
been a spontaneous criminal, as it were,
another man of the present day may
also be laying up, on his own response
bility, heritage of crime for his unborn
descendants. IL the abnormal tenden-
cies can he eradicated. and the criminal
made useful member of society, every
effort should be made to that end; but,
il crime is disease, it seems-at least
in its more serious manifestations-to
be an incurable one. The percentage OF
reformed criminals is discouragingly
small, and that of those convicted for
subsequent offenses disproportionatsly
large. The best treatment of such per-
sons is perplexing question. but the
right of self-preservstion is paramount
| to every other consideration, and the
morbid unwholesome sympathy shown
by an increasing class of people toward
those who are so much out of harmony
with their social environment, will only
result in great injury to the orderly and
law-abiding classes of society. without
| causing any decrease of crime or confer
ring any permanent benefit upon the
criminals themselves.-Populsr Science

DARING JAIL BREAK
twenty Three Prisoners Make q
Bold and Successful Dash
for Liberty.
Twelve Have Been Recaptured--
A Sherid's Posse Are Securing
tho Surrounding Country.

A daring and succe full attempt
to break Jail was made by o number
OF rlsoners confined In the county
Jail here early last "Wednesday
morning, Tho plans Of the leaders
in the movement were well laid and
carried out. The crowded condition
of the Jail added to the chances of
the prisoners making good their es-
cape. At ~ o'clock Turnkey Beard
made the usual round and every
thing was all right. The prisoners
were engaged in singing and MAX
ing loud noise, but as this was
nothing unusual, the suspicious of
the .jailer were not aroused.
Immediately after the jailer made
his rounds the bars were wrenched
oil, and four prisoners crawled
through the break they had made.
The lamp burning on the window
sill was turned up so that the flame
came out at the top Of the chimney.
Then the four prisoners ran behind
the end of the prison. cage. a cry
was Immediately raised by the 9TH
ers for the jailer to come and put
out the lamp, which would explode.
Beard responded to the cries by
coming from the Office. Seeing the
lamp, he made for II with the inten-
ton Of putting 1t out.
As he did so lie was suddenly
felled to the floor by blow ON the
head from one of the prisoners, who
ran up behind him. The others
then came out from their hiding
place and assisted in binding the
jailer with ropes and gagglng him.
After liberating nineteen prisoners
In the upper tier they made their
escape, locking the jail gates behind
them. The jailer lay in the posi-.
ton In which he was placed for
about two hours, when one of the
prisoners reached through the bars
Of his cell and united his hands.
Beard soon liberated himself then,
and ran ont into the jailyard,
where he commenced bang
ing OH the jail gates with an AK and
fired revolver In the air. sheriff
Hinchlih, who resides opposite the
juil, was awakened by the noise,
and ran over TO the jail The sher-
lit quickly summoned II posse and
started OH on the trail NJ once.
The sheriff has issued circular
describing the men and offering q

SPOKANE is SOLID.
Her Financial Stability Is More
Secure Than Any Other City
on the Coast
Tho Manager of Dun's Comm ercial
Agency Says There Is No
Chance of a Panic.

The rumors that have been circu-
lated to the effect that there were n
number Of merchants on the ragged
edge of financial ruin have been
traced down by n REVIEW reporter
To he mere idle stories, started by no
one knows whom, but which are lies
made out Of whole cloth. In u con-
versation on tho matter with RI
VIEW reporter, Mr.. A. NJ. Anthony,
manager of the Spokane branch Of
Il. G.. Dun's Commercial Agency,
said:
al have traced down all these ru.
mors and find them TO be false and
TO have been started by some man
who knows nothing about the situa-
tion. AS "a rule the business houses
Of Spokane Falls are in as good u
condition, IL not better, than any
other city on the coast.
"The past winter has been long
and hard one, and has naturally
caused some tightness In regard TO
money; and there can be no doubt
that there will be some few failures
ofthe smaller firms, which viii be IA
most healthful wedding out Of the
light-weights.
1.-THE Bump dissolution should not
be called a failure, In any sense of
the term; and the jackson affair
has no bearing on the financial con-
dition of the city. There Is no rca-
son why we should not work out OF
this present stringency, caused
mainly by the late spring, in good
shape.
"rherc Is no danger of n finan clal
crisis of any kind, the city Is sound
and the stability of most Of the firms
is beyond question. In regard Ia
commercial failures our record here
tofore has been far better than any
other city In the state, and with q
little care do not zee why we need
lose our proud position as the
soundest mercantile city In this
won derful Northwest"

BLUE SENTENCE DAY
Jensen. Thompson and STREET.
Doomed to the Penitentiary
at Walla Walla.
The Date OF Harry F. Baer's Trial
Changed From the 18th to
the 10th Inst

Judge Kinnaird tried his hand Mt
passing sentence ON criminals yestcr-
day.
The case of o. NJ. Jensen, the
youth VIII forged several notes, was
tho first asked II he had anything
to say why sentence should not bo
passed upon him. AS he did not,
Judge Kinnaird gave him some
wholesome advice and sentenced
him to three years In the peniten-
tiary.
Edward Thompson, who betrayed
the confidence Of friend by rob
binp him, was given two years,
When the case of Martin Gibbons
was called he said he had something
to say. He went into the details of
his crime at considerable length, say
ing that he was 6S years Of age, and
asking the leniency OF the court.
He would have done great dcsl
better by keeping his mouth shut,
as Judge Kinnaird decided TO wait
until he heard the evidence in the
case of Fishburn. Gibbons accom-
plice. After he hears the details of
the crime he will be more likely to
give Gibbons u longer sentence than
he should otherwise.
The case of George STREET, forger,
was next called. The dose meted
out to Jenson was repeated, and the
prisoner will spend three years at
Walln Walla ut the states expense.
