Wero Given-Dgen and Women Flogged
For Failing to Salute the Ofacers-A ver-
liable He'll on Earth.
The disclosures of life in Siberia by
George Kennan were rejected as false by
many Americans because they could not
believe such things possible, but two Amer
ican citizens have recently escaped from
Siberia with evidence which chills the
blood.
These men-Paradyce and Wilson-were
sailors on the, sealing schooner Mary H.
Thompson, which was driven by storm
to tho coast of Saghalien island last July.
The two went inland for fresh water, and
the schooner was driven away by storm.
The two sailors were directed to Russian
station by the Indians, and on reaching it
completely wornout were at once clapped
into irons as spiesl They received a pound
OF black bread and half a pound of raw salt
beef per day, and in a wretched condition
were driven to Carasock, the principal
seaport.
when we arrived at Carasock, says Par
adyce, 1--WE were taken to the prison, in which
a dozen men were confined. The place had
not been cleaned out for me- onths and smelled
horribly. Some of the men in it had been
there for three years and had worn heavy
ball and chain all the time. They were near
lynaked and were covered with vermin. All
of them had one side Of their heads shaved,
and they looked more like beasts than men,
That night we got piece of black bread
and cup Of water, and we had to sleep on
the bare floor.
"One of the men was lying in a corner
groaning, and l soon discovered that he
had that day been given 60 lashes with the
knout for not saluting an officer as he
passed. The poor old mans back and hips
We're literally cut to pieces Every other
man in tho room had been fogged within a
month, and there were horrible wounds on
all of them'' -

lite Prescription for women.
It acts in this way:
If you're weak or "run-down," it
builds you up; if you suffer from
any of the painful disorders and
arrangements peculiar to your sex,
it relieves and cures. It improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dis
pels aches and pains, brings refresh
ing sleep, and restores flesh and
strength. For all functional weak
nesses and Irregularities, it's posi-
tive remedy. Hence,
It's sold in this way
It's guaranteed to give satisfac-
ton, in every case, or the money
paid for it is refunded.
They're the smallest, the cheapest,
the easiest to take.
But all that would be nothing,

Fred Bracket, the Freeport young
man who waylaid George A. Davis in
that village Sunday night and knocked
him down, made his escape yesterday
forenoon. and up to this time has not
been heard from.
The assault seems to have been a
peculiarly aggravated one. Brackett
came to Freeport about a year age, from
Iowa. He is the son of man who left
his wife in Durham many years ago, and
going west married again. Bitterness
growing out of some talk about that old
affair seems to have caused the grudge
which Bracket had for Davis. Lying
in wait for him behind a tree, Brackett
waited until Davis, who had his little
girl with him, came along, and then
struck him with something that cut
Davis's forehead open, and left him in
such bad shape that he was unble to be
in court yesterday morning. For this
reason County Attorney True asked for
a continuance, which was granted. Frank
w Robinson, Esq, appeared for Brack-
EFT. A half brother, Andrew R. Brackett,
of Freeport, was also present with the
accused. The police patrol wag on
brought Fred Bracket down from the
Jail, and the officers placed him in the
dock, with another prisoner. Brackett' s
case came up and was continued, bonds
being fixed at So, 900, in default of which
he was to go to Jail again. Just about
as these proceedings were closing Deputy
Sheriff Banks, who arrested Brackett,
was called to the Supreme Court room
by some duties. He supposed that the
officers who brought Brackett from the
Jail were looking after HIM, and went
without thinking about the prisoner.
The court was in session, and the idea of
a prisoner walking out did not occur to
anyone. But that is just what Brackett
apparently did. He disappeared, and
has not been seen since, although dill
gent search has been made for him. It
is thought that he has got as far from
Portland as possible.
Brackett is young man. five feet and
eight or nine inches in height, with
black hair and eyes, and small black
moustaehe. He walks with his head
down, and his shoulders thrown back,
and it is said that he rarely looks anyone
in the eye. He wore dark pants, light
drab overcoat and black Derby hat.
