HE WAS GONE.
George Gordon Went
Out of Prison.
A Slick Colored Man Who Has Been
Causing Constable Hopper
World of Trouble.


Last Saturday Constable Hopper
arrested George Gordon on a warrant
charging him with stealing He made
the arrest in saloon up in Haaring
About the time the constable finished
reading the warrant to the cOlOred
gent and was about to lay his hands
upon him, Gordon made dash for
the door and out he went with the
constable after him. Gordon proved
too fleet of foot for the constable and
he was soon out of reach and out of
danger. He did not run away for
good, however. for that night he was
back with his old associates in his old
haunts about Haarig. Learning this
fact Constable Hopper deputised Dave
Piercetield to capture Gordon. Sunday
Piercefield spied his man with Il lot of
other young cOlOred men lowering
over a keg of beer in the College pas
ture. Gordon did not know that
Piercetield was after him until he was
ordered to throw up his hands and he
was looking into the muzzle of
Smith and WessOn revolver. Pierce
field put the hand cuffs on the Young
man and took him and turned him
over to Constable Hopper. He was
placed in the city jail for safe keeping
till to-day when he was to he taken to
Jackson.
When Mr.. Hopper went to the Jail
to-day to give his prisoner dinner he
found no prisoner there. Gordon had
pried the bars out of the window and
made good his escaDe.

Prosperity of Arkansas Farmers.


1t surprised many people to find
that the Arkansas delegates to the
Cleveland convention were against
free coinage. One reason for their
attitude is undoubtedly found in the
fact that Arkansas is now an unusu-
ally prosperous State. Crops of all
kinds were never more promising. and
the farmers are more Independent than
ever before. The Little Rock Gazette
declares that any farmer who has
lived at home for several years
past-that is. has raised enough of
other crops than cotton to avoid the
necessity of purchasing supplies
must acknowledge that he is better off
this year than he ever was in the past.
The farmers in the northern and west
ern parts of the State are reported to
be, as a rule. out of debt and with
money in the bank. while many of
them belong to the creditor class"
and hold mortgages on city and town
properly. The result of all this is
that the Arkansas farmer is coming
to be safe and sound political econ
Omist: in the words of the Gazette.
''he is no longer theOrist or ca
lamity howler." \ similar change in
material conditions and economic at
titude i in progress throughout the
South. more or less rapidly. and it
explains the steady dying out of the
silver craze in that section

\ proposition to double the wheat
crop by measuring it IN bushels
one-half of the present size would be
laughed at by every intelligent farmer.
No one would be deceived into think
ing that the quantity Of wheat crown
would be any larger though il was
called twice as many bushels. But
when it comes to measuring values.
instead Of quantities. a great many
people are victims of the curious de-
lusiOn that by adopting a standard of
value worth only half of that now
used this scOuntry would at once double
the value of all the products of
labor. They are entirely mistaken.
Changing the measure would not in
the slightest degree increase the real
value in use or exchange of the goods
measured. and the pretense Of the sill
verites that the free coinage would
double the value of all property is
merely fraud by which they hope to
fool the people into voting for fifty
cent dollars.

BATHS STAMPEDE.
Over Four Thousand Boys Have

Editor of "The Jersey City News"
TIL stampede for free baths at the health
giving and disea~se-averting department OF
the Peoples Palace, No. 1873 Grand street,
has not abated. The poor boys come in
throngs and we are sorry VIC cannot take IN
a larger number at q time, as the little fell
lows are impatient, having to wait for their
turn. Owing to my absence from the city
no report was made last week, SO two weeks
are included in this, and the record shows
1913 baths, and the total number to date is
1887 and yet the season is not half over. No
one can estimate the value of this work. l
met a gentleman recently from Chicago who
had charge of free baths in q certain district
of that city, and he stated it was the united
opinion of the physicians Of the district that
not only was disease averted, but the death

This noble philanthropy will go on If the
people can see their way clear to sus ain it
financially. The contributions, thus far,
have not been what we had hoped for, but
we have faith in the generosity of our clti-
zens and look for more as the season adj
vances. I trust those who read these lines
