at the Jail who had been given the
freedom of the yard, took advantage
of the absence Ofthe sheriff and "elOp-
ed" The Sheriff Immediately sent
out kilograms to all the adjoining
towns, but the fugitives have not yet
been apprehended. As matter of
fact their escape is small loss to the
county. Both were in Jail for selling
whiskey. Adams was incarcerated

sentences and were being held for the
payment of costs, which-sO long as

have been paid. The crying need
Just now, of the county of Allen is a
rock-pile whereon impecunious pris-
oners can work out their fine and
costs.
The ladies of the lola w. C.. T. L.
have recently been the means of plac-
ing a young girl of lola in the Indus
trial Home at Beloit with quite an
expense to themselves as she was ac-
companicd by a member of the Union,
who brings back a very encouraging
report of the Home and its work. The
work was begun and carried on for
three years by the w. c. L. L. but is
now controlled by the State, retaining
however, the same managers. This
is of itself sufficient endorsement, but
if further proof is necessary it may be
found in the fact of there being in its
family circle so bright, contented
young girls, who seem to be so thor
Oughly at home in the true sense of
that word. happy in the consciousness
of becoming useful members of society
and being instructed in everything
necessary to the accomplishment of
that purpose.

last week, it was determined to have
the new roof which has been ordered
for the court house made of American
tin, the majority of the Board being
convinced from samples submitted

phatic protest against this action. He
did not claim, we understand, that
the American tin was inferior to the
imported, but based his protest on the
ground that the determination to use
il was a dirty political trick" car
ried through for the sole purpose of
making capital for the Republican
party.
