Dead before Her Mirror.

CINCINNATI, O., April 3.-Annie Shan
non, young married woman living at
As Baum street, was found dead in front
of the dresser in her bedroom yesterday
morning. From the appearance of the
body she had evidently been posing be-
fore the mirror when death overlook her.
She was leaning on the dresser and her
head was turned coquettishly to one
side. Her eyes were wide open and were
staring full at the mirror. The body
was discovered by a young girl who called
at Mrs. Shannon's room. Her knock
was answered by Mrs. Shannon's 4.year-
old child. When the girl entered the
room she saw Mrs. Shannon, as she
thought, preparing her toilet. She
spoke pleasantly, but was surprised at
receiving no reply. She walked over to
the mirror and laid her hand on the
woman. and then it was that che dis
covered that she was dead. She gave
the alarm, and in short time the neigh
borhood was aroused.
Coroner Haerr was hastily summoned,
and the body was not disturbed until his
arrival. A score of people crowded into
the room, gazing in awe-struck silence
at the silent figure in front of the mir
ror. DR.. Haerr pronounced the case one
of the most remarkable on record. He
says the woman had been dead several
hours. How it happened that she did
not fall to the floor. is what is most sur
prising. The doctor is of the opinion
that the woman was posing before the
mirror when che was stricken with death.
She was of prepossessing face and
figure.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Income tax re-
turns are coming in far beyond the ex-
pectations of officials. To save time and
avoid complications, collectors were in
structed to certify and send ret1rns
the 10th of each month, and, therefore,
no reports have been received of date
later than March 10. Nevertheless
10000 returns have already been received
and are being verified and recorded. 1t
is estimated that returns made to col
lectors prior to March 10 represent at
least 81 500 900 income tax, and the
actual amount returned to April 1 will
aggregate SIS 10000 1t is not ex-
pected that returns to any considerable
number will be made before the Sth or
10th of April, five days before the time
limit expires, hence the showing is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to those having the
matter in charge.
Another matter of congratulation is
the little difficulty being experienced by
tax payers in filling out blanks. All
things considered, the work of collecting
the tax is going forward with very little
friction. 1t is expected that at least
$40, ,000, 900 income tax will be collected
by June l, the close of the fiscal year.
Officials do not express any doubts that
the supreme court will sustain all the
important features of the law, if not the
entire act, as it stands, and are pushing
the work as rapidly as is consistent with
accuracy.

COXEY WINS EASILY
In the Contest for the Lead of
the State Populist Ticket
The Vote Was $40 to IA
What the Platform Provides
Some Spicy Speeches.

A special correspondent of the News
Democrat at the scene of the convention
sends the following report at $3.50 p. M:
The platform reported by the resolu-
tions committee was materially changed
by the Populists' state convention this
morning. AS soon as the resolutions
were read, Tom Fitsimmons, of Cleve-
land, an admirer of Coxey said the reso-
luton endorsing Coxeys' roads idea had
been placed at the bottom of the list in
order to be last He moved that it be put
in the second place. Judge Ed Stark, of
Cleveland said there had been too much
Coxeyism in the convention already.
This brought Coxey to his feet. The
lawyers, he said, had been running things
in this country to the exclusion of the
masses for some time; three of them were
trying to run this convention. He re-
ferred to W. r. Smith, of Akron; George
A. Groot and Ed Stark, of Cleveland.
All three responded with severe roasts
upon Coxey. The motion carried, how
ever.
Other additions to the platform were
made as follows: Declaring 1t treason 10
issue interest bearing bonds in time of
peac; that the trial of Debs was subver-
sion of the right to trial by jury and de-
manding that all public monopolies be
nationalizd; to the part that deals with
state issues were added planks favoring
the state control of the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors without profit; declaring in
favor of the election of all state and ma
tional officers by direct vote of the people;
favoring the eight-hour system in state
employment and opposing fusion with
any old party in either county, city, or
district.
But two names were presented for the
nom mination for governor; these were Ed
Stark of Cleveland, and j. S. Coxey, of
Canton. Coxey was nominated, the vote
standing $50 for Coxey to "A for Stark.
The convention then adjourned to .. m.

RODE A COW.
The Cleveland Leader Tells
How Nolan Escaped From
the Canton Jail.
A THRILLING REPORT

OF the Recent Jail Breaking Here as
Viewed BY a Forest City Reporter
Turnkey vending Fails to Identify
Man Arrested at Cleveland as the
Missing Nolan.
The Cleveland police are making dill
gent efforts to secure the reward offered
by Sheriff Doll for the return Of John
Nolan, the escaped jail bird. They
thought they had him Friday and Turn
key Vending was sent for. He went to
Cleveland, but the man in custody was
not the right party. The Cleveland
Leader in speaking of the arrest, attempt
ed to give the history Of the case, and tell
how Nolan managed to evade the officers
and blood hounds Their report of the
affair is as follows:
John Mack, alias Nolan, residing at the
corner of Bright and Noble streets, was
fined So and costs in police court Friday
morning. He is man with history.
The city of Canton was stirred up a few
days ago, and Mack, alias Nolan, 1t is
said, furnished the greater part of that
entertainment The city of Canton, ever
alive TO metropolitan projects, bought a
number of valuable bloodhounds for the
purpose of tracing criminals who CHANGED
to escape from Jail. A Jail delivery oc-
Cured there the other day. Three priso.
ners escaped, and left the jail almost
empty. Here was an excellent opportu-
nifty to try the merits of the blood hounds,
which had been giving the taxpayers food
for reflection for number of days. A
crowd turned out to see the dogs start on
the trail of the fugitives. The mouths
of the hounds were swabbed out by their
attendants, and were ready for the race.
At given signal they were loosened and
started to nose around. The imprint of
No. 10 shoe was given the bloodhounds
as a beginner.
They took up the trail enthusiastically,
and soon left the excited populace behind.
Over field and glen, wood and hill they
sped, their attendants having hard work
to keep up with them. At last one of the
hounds gave yelp of delight and one of
the escaped jail-birds was covered. Hand
cuffs were quickly placed upon him, and
search for another man was begun. With
in a short time another welcome yelp was
heard and another man was captured
The hounds continued their search for the
remaining man far into the night, but
were unsuccessful. In the gray dawn of
the next morning they kept up their
chase, but the attendants finally with
drew the blood hounds and all returned
home rather crestfallen, although they
had been partly victorious.
1t is now said that Mack alias Nolan,
is the man who escaped, although he de-
MES it. A police official at the Central
police station is authority for the state
ment that Nolan threw the blood hounds
off the scent by riding out of Canton on a
cow At night both the cow and man
lay down to sleep together, and Nolan
kept away hunger and thirst with an
abundant supply of milk. When Nolan
approached Cleveland, it is said, he bade
the COW goodbye, thanked her. and mer-
rily trudged toward the metropolis Of
Ohio.

TREED HIM.
Blood Hounds Find a WOrkhOuse
Prisoner in Short Order-A
Trial Run,

There has been some talk about the
workhouse bloodhounds not being able to
trace man. Yesterday afternoon Super
intendent Pontius, in order to show what
the dogs could do, invited several news
paper representatives to see chase. AT
$3.50 the superintendent told a trusty
prisoner to start out in any direction he
pleased, and told him If he got away from
the dogs he could go free. The man was
given twenty minutes start. The direc-
tion he had taken from the building was
noted and when the allotted time was up
the dogs were placed on his trail. They
traced him north along the creek to near
the buildings on the Hurbruck farm.
Here they took to the road and followed
the trail to Michigan avenue where they
turned west. They went along this street
to the McGregor woods in about the CEN
ter of which the prisoner had crawled into
tree. The distance gone over was
nearl two miles and just thirty. five min.
utes later the man had started and fifteen
minutes after the dogs were let go the
man was found in his place of safety.
The dogs but once lost the trail and
then only for short time. This was
when they ran past where the prisoner
had made turn.
The dogs were followed by the superin-
tendent and the newspaper representa-
tives. When they arrived in the woods
where the dogs were barking they found
them under the tree upon which the man
they had been following was perched.
They were then caught and chained and
the man told to get down from the tree.
When he alighted upon the ground they
made lunges for him and very likely had
they not been held would have injured
him.
Although there were several other men
about, their whole attention was directed
to the man whose trace they had fol-
lowed. The hounds actions showed that
no such man could make friends with
them.
The chase was an entire success, and
proved what the dogs were able to do.
The hounds, when on the trail, go
along at rapid rate. They bark the
whole time, so 1t is not difficult for at
to follow after.

Matters

For some time examiners have been at
work on the books of ex-City Clerk K. b.

out the tangles. He is making some pro-
gress, and the startling announcement is
now made that Bayliss is considerably
short in his accounts.
Mr.. Bayliss had a very loose way Of
keeping books, and 1t is hard job to get
at the true state of affairs, but enough has
already been discovered to- show short

The shortages are found in assessment
collections, which Bayliss has failed to
turn over and they date back for several
years.
The experts are still at work and they
expect to III arth other deficits. Bayliss
says he can explain all the ugly looking
features and will pay up all shortages.
