A DARING ESCAPE. Saturday we mer-
Toned the escape OF Frank st Clair from
the jail at Eugene. The Guard gives the
following account ofthe daring manner In
which Il was accomplished; Friday even-
ing about 7 o., .2ck as Jaller Geo Groner
was locking the Prisoners In the Lane
county jail, one OF them Frank ST Clair,
escaped. Mr. Croner had ordered the
prisoners TO their cells, and all had gone
lie was locking one cell, holding his foot
against another that opened towards him
when ST Clair, In the latter cell pushed
the door violently open catching Croner
In the corner back of the door. Before he
could recover the prisoner rushed out
through the outside door, threw the ba r
and made of north along Oak street. He
was out Of sight before the jailer could
get out. st Clair was arrested at Com
stock about two weeks ago for the burg
larry OF a suit of clothes and a gun near
cottage Grove, end was held under $sSo
bonds TO await the grand jury which win

every Precaution to capture the escape.
A Hon BD.-The following from the
Statesman indicates that money is want
cd very badly in that city for building
purT oses: The directors OF the Salem
Building and Loan association, at their
meeting last night, opened a new series
OF 200 shares-about 100 OF which have
been subscribed or spoken for. They
also paid all Withdrawals in full accord
ing 10 the by laws, and loaned 5000 at
100 months interest in advance. This
breaks the record. The highest bid be-
fore this was ninety odd months. All
the shares in the new series will likely
be taken very soon, as people have learned
that the home association does exactly
as il promises in all things. But other
series will be opened as often as there is
ademand for them.
A HoRRIBLE jon The worst business
card scheme ever pei petrated on an inno-
cent people may be seen in the PostofIice,
whose walls il disgraces. II Is bolch
from one corner 10 another. The print
ing looks as II il were put on with a
stick, and measly looking pictures are
pasted on IN a fOur-year old stvle Were
an Albany artist to do such work he
would be hooted out OF town. IL Is time
such humbugs were set down on by an
elephant, not because the Ds1OCRAT
would like the money OF some al tie men
wLo can't be hired 10 advertise in any
newspaper; but because the Job is really
a colossal boteh and the scheme an un-
savory one.
A MODEL FATHER The Eugene Guard
tells how father very wisely provided
or his children in his life tune, an ex-
ample that might we'll be followed by
many: On the FIRST day Of March W II
Mulkey and wife entertained their mar
ried children at their home a few miles
west Of Irving. After dinner SIR Mulkey
asked them to go out in the field with
him and showed them four 80 acre tracts
OF land which he would give 70 his four
oldest children, they to draw for choice.
The selections were made and all were
well satisfied with the result OF the visit.
The lucky ones are Mrs g G Gross, Mrs
] A Fugate, Ben Mulkey and Lar Ia
Mulkey.
The WRoNo BoTTLT.-lI c Humphrey
had close call Wednesday afternoon.
He has been taking some medicine for a
cough. Wednesday afternoon he took \
bottle fiom the shelf al his residence, sup

without looking tosee, took a dose. IL

quite little. lie came down town i'm

succeeded In relieving him, but his tongue,
mouth and threat were badly burned by
