GRIEF AT THE JAIL.
ed Timon Who Gave the Prisoners Boxin
Lessons, is Released.

ed TimOm Who Gave the Prisoners Boxing
Lessons, is Released.
A great sorrow has fallen upon the
Shawnee county Jail. Ed Timon has
gone Timon who ran club and was
convicted Of selling liquor at this term
of the district court, now walks on the
streets with his head as high as any
body's. The release OF prisoner is not
generally a matter of regret to the Jail
management. But not so in the case Of
Ed Tiulon. Ed is an all-round sport and
among his other accomplishment he can
box with science and energy Timon
has been giving some of the employees in
the sheriff's Office and the prison TRUSTEES
Lessons in boxing, and it is the rude cut
ting of of these lessons that causes the
urabidden tears to start, and causeg a
largo lump 70 form in the jailer's throat
that cannot be swallowed down or
coughed up.
Timon's attorney, Eugene Hagan, APP
peaIed his case to the district court and
succeeded in getting papers Saturday
night, that authorize the release Of his
client on $500 bond which was readily
furnished.

MRS. LEASES BATTLE AXE.
Given to Her as the Joan of Arc of the
Nineteenth Century.

Mrs. Lease wears at her throat a min
iature battle axe. It was presented to
her by some trades union friends Of Chi
cage, when she made her last visit to that
city.
They had heard that Mrs. Lease was
called the Joan of Arc of the nineteenth
century, and the axe is supposed to be
small copy of that carried by the famous
woman general. 1t is of gold, with the
blade beautifully enameled.
They always persist in giving me
something to remember them by when /
am in Chicago" said Mrs. Lease. "They
are among my best friends. and / always
have to talk for them when l am there.
This ornament is only little memento,
but l am very proud of it,"

'This is the season when the sharp
er resorts to schemes to enrich himself
at the expense Of the person he deals
with. A good rule to follow is not to
buy of a stranger any article you can
buy of your home merchant. The
stranger IL not responsible; you may
never see him again, and he is apt to
take advantage of this fact to gull a
customer, whereas the home merchant
has interests at stake that forbid him
doing other than square business.
If you must deal with stranger pay
only for what you receive and let your
whole transaction be on cash basis
This may save you loss and trouble in
the future"
