When all of Court plaza was lined
and crowded with men some one cried
''On to Houston streetw and in ten min
utes the Jail yard was swarming with a
wild and frenzied crowd 200 strong.
Some one battered away at the north
door of the prison and in moment il
was opened and the crowd rushed in.
Warden Mckinney and Turnkey
McAfee told them that the prisoner Sam
Massey, was not in the Jail. The crowd
refused to believe them and demanded
tina. the prison be thrown open. Tc
this the officers of the prison acquiesced
and corridor after corridor and cell after
cell was carefully searched, but no
where from the cupola to the dungeon
below the ground could the negro be
found, md at last maddened and infur.
lated, the crowd withdrew from the
prison and began searching the resi-
dences of the officers.
About this time Sheriff McAfee drove
up to the Rusk street gate and an.
nounced that long ago the prisoner, in
charge of deputies, had been speeding
on his way south, train having beer
tagged at the Cotton Belt caossing and
boarded there by the officers with the
prisoner. At this hour the crowd has

the Jail, but are gathered in knots OF

Deep disappointment is everywhere
expressed and while it is generally be-
lieved the prisoner had been spirited
away by officers, there are doubts of his
having been taken to Dallas and squads
are searching high and low for some
clew to his whereabouts and it is be-
lieved that if at any time between now
and daylight 500 determined men can be
centralized in ten minutes.

ONCE in four years you have
chance to register your sovereign citi-
zen verdict about the executive man
agement of the affairs Of the whole
OF your great country Once year
you can vote for some local or State
officers, and every second year you
can cast ballot for Congressman
to speak for you at Washington thir-
teen months thereafter. II you have
not changed your mind, or he his, he
will execute the commission of the
constituency he lives in to the best of
his belated information and ability,
But in a Presidential year you vote
in November for the country's chief
officers To take possession of their
supreme trusts within four short
months Thus once in four years the
American voter Is truly sovereign,
and his vote tells and counts in the
history of his country and of the
world during at least four years
thereafter Think, therefore, about
your vote for Presidential Electors on
the Tuesday following the first Mon
day of next November, which this
year is Nov. s. If your mind is made
up, be missionary for your own side.
There can be no nobler mission. If
you are uncertain, study pending
questions SO that you may cast &C
cording to the best intelligence of an
American citizen the sovereign YER
dict that may determine the future
of your country. Do you think the
statement of your own responsibility
an exaggeration? Look at your al
manac for any year you please and
see how many executive and legisla-
tive trusts have depended on YER
dict Of one elector, or on the care or
the neglect, the fidelity or the faith
lessness, Of one subordinate official.
There is one thing in United States
politics you can be sure of, and that
is the sovereign power Of your suffrage
as an American elector on an issue
relating to the welfare Of your coun-
try in all the future. The Emperor
of Germany can not do as much with
his Reichstag as you may effect with
your own vote on next election day.
Your quiet ballot may accomplish
more than the ukase of Car or the
mandate of Kaiser. Look, then, to
your own vote and study the country's
politics in the light of the country's
interests.

THE latest Geographic marvel is
called the phonophore. The name is
applied to a cable coil which serves
as Sound passage. BY the use of
the instrument telephone messages
can be transmitted and received on
an ordinary telegraph line at the
same time that two independent
services of the ordinary duplex char
acter are being worked. The inven-
tion Is not mere theory. 1t is in
actual use on the Great Western
Railway. The most curious thing
about the discovery is that 1t appears
TO have been made from a study OF
the Induction noises" which are usu-
ally such nuisance in telephony, and
the putting Of the conditions which
produce them into useful service.
The first Important point ascertained
in the study was that the secondary
electrical impulses caused by conduc-
ton are separated by intervals of diff
ferent length, though regular in one
respect. The first essential toward
using them was to make the intervals
perfectly regular, and this was effect
ed by a purely mechanical contri-
vance which makes them equidistant
in time. 1t has been found possible
to use the phonophore, simultane-
ously with the ordinary employment
of the wire, over 1000 miles of line.
And singular fact is that the phono-
phore will work well on line which
is so badly broken down that the tel
egraphic message cannot be sent over
it-in one instance the signals re-
ceived being said to be even more
distinct than when the line was in
good working order.

WHAT kind OF whisky was II which
that crank drank before bursting In
TO a store In New York and shooting
at the unfortunate Waterman and
proprietor under the delusi0n that he
was an express messenger, protecting
his cars from an attack by robbersp
Potent indeed must have been the
maddening quality in the beverage
which could thus create an artificial
world for the poor man, and make
him jeopardize his own liberty and
the lives OF others. If the truth
were told, bad whisky makes more
cranks than are created by all the
other agencies together. 1t can give
the brain fatal twist at moments
notice, and its tricks are so cunning
that the hardest head cannot with

When Mr.. Porter of the eleventh

able to show that the capital invested
in commercial enterprises In this
country is not far from 100000, O00,-
900. In 1880 it was something over
$40, 900, 900, 900. 1t has been esti-
mated that Mr.. Porter's figures would
show the present amount to be $780,

cate that it will be $40, 900, 900, 900
