StOry-writers contribute to the paper,
but many Of the most eminent states
men, jurists and scientists of the
world. No fewer than three cabinet
ministers are announced, among them
being the Secretary of Agriculture,
who chose for a subject "Arbor Day.
the celebration of which he origin
ated; Secretary Herbert writes on
What the President of the United
States Does" and Secretary HOke
Smith on "Our Indians"
In fascinating group Of articles

COrzine and Beagle Depart.

The announcement Friday morning
that John COrzine and Lynn Beagle
had escaped from the county jail did
not seem to surprise anybody. 1t is
true that the people of this county
have paid for two steel cages in the
county Jail. Each of these cages is
capable of holding from eight to ten
prisoners. 1t is also well known that
prisoner who is left outside of the
cages need not stay in Jail any longer
than he desires so far as the Jail
structure is concerned. A child could
kick a hole in any of the jail walls
arge enough to march a regiment of
men through it. For this reason the
county commissioners have for years
been paying and are still paying a
guard at the jail to prevent escapes.
The sheriff gets $3.50 a day for keep
ing the jail and sl.OO a night for
guarding it, in addition to his allow.

Died.

Mrs. Martha Anderson, wife Of
John l. Anderson, died at her home
in this city at IL pm. last Wednesday.
She had long been an invalid and for
some time her vision had been entire
ly gone. All through her long con.
tinued and terrible suffering she had
manifested christian patience and for.
bearance. She was q true and con.
sistent member Of the Christian
church. Although she had been pre-.
vented from attending church servic.
es on account OF affiiction, yet her
kindly christian spirit at home was a
better proof Of her faithfulness.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, Of Junction
City, H., was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles OF
DR.. Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. ThOs. Eggers, 139 Florida
St., San Francisco, suffered from d
dreadful cold, approaching consump'
tion, tried without result everything
else, then bought one bottle of Dr.
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, OF which
these are samples, that prove the won

Chiefly Long, the pretty dude that
represents the Seventh Congressional
district, I'M an interview in a Washing
ton paper the other day, says the re-
suit Of the late election In Kansas in
dicateS that the PopuliSt party is dis
migrating. 1t looks much like it,
indeed, when Barber county, the Con-
greSSman'shome, gave a majority of
SOC for the Populist ticket; and many
other counties in the same district
that gave Long a majority year ago
wheeled into the Populist line with
rOusing majOrities in the late election.
II this is disintegration of the Pop
ulist party, let it keep on disintegrat-
ing.-Alliance Herald.

steel cages won't hold men who are
not within them and there are guards
. who don't guard at times.
John COrzine is charged with being
member of an organized band of
thieves and outlaws in the southern
part Of the county. The farmers Of
that section organized and employed
City Marshal Z. c. Shaver to ferret
out and run down this gang. He
found Corzine near Garrett and had
him placed in Jail. Corzine waived
preliminary examination and was in
Jail awaiting trial on charge Of
grand larceny.
Lynn Beagle iS another member
of the same gang. Mr.. Shaver had
him located also, but just as he was
ready to start after him, he found
that Sheriff Woodcock had learned
his whereabouts from COrzine and
gone after him. But Beagle got wind
of WOOdcOck's presence in his vicinity
and skipped out. WOOdcOck followed
him for a week and finally captured
him at Butler, Mo. When Beagle's
trial came on he plead guilty to
petty larceny and was sentenced to
sixty days in Jail. 1t was announced
by the officers at the time that he was
let of this easy because he had given
them valuable information that
would enable them to capture and
convict the other members of the
gang.
The facts are that since then Bea-
gle has been acting as the sheriff's
servant, going about almost at will,
feeding his horses and COWS and doing
other chores for him. Although there
were only two other prisoners in the
jail, Flick and Syllender, yet COrzine
and Beagle were not kept in the cage.
Why? Probably God Almighty, the
sheriff and his jailOr Ed. Coates alone
know-unlesS it may be, as many be-
lieve, the friends Of these prisoners
also know why. There is certainly no
good and iustitlable reason why these
or any other prisoners, under such Cir
cumstances, should be left outside
the cage in the jail. They might just
as we'll be turned loose in the yard
with the gate open.
Jailor Ed Coates informs us that he
left the Jail at 6 o'clock last Thursday
and returned at seven when he found
hole in the north jail wall and Cor.
zine and Beagle gone, The prisoners
in the cage said they left about $50.
They went into the jailor's house and
took a Winchester rife with them.
But such occurrences have become
so common under the present admin
istration Of the sherlt's Office that
nobody is surprised any more at any
thing that happens. The only conso-
lation we see in the situation is the
certainty that in little over a month
there will be change, We hope the
administration Of the incoming shsr-
if will be an improvement over the
present one, In any event 1t cannot
possibly be worse.-Mail.

Saturday night about loo o'clock a.

two prisoners who escaped from the
county Jail Thursday evening, appear.
ed voluntarily at the Jail and rUusing
the guards asked to be admitted and
locked up. And they were accommo
dated.
Their escapade was only a little
joke on the sheriff's force apparently.
They just took notion to show the
outfit that they could escape II they
wanted to do so and that the whole
sheritf's posse couldn't even make a
decent stagger at recapturing them.
They had never been out Of the coun.
ty, but had been loanng around the
southern part Of the county with their
families.
1t seems that they wanted to 90
home to see their wives aud children
and after they had finished their visit

The Press and Transcript Have Done Gone
and Hyphenated.

Righteousness and peace have met to-
gether; mercy and truth have kissed each
other" with an accent on the truth.
A hyphen grows right out of the bos-
ON of the Press right over into the bos-
ON of the Transcript, and "the twain are
made one flesh" like the late lamented
Chang and Eng. commonly known as
the Siamese twins.
They call the twins, or the twin, ac-
cording as we regard it singly or dually
the PressTranscript.
Solomon said "a good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and Ben
Franklin, much wiser and much better
man, said "Give dog bad name and
kill him"
The Press Transcript is simply the
most execrable name that any newspaper
ever had except the Kentuckian Citizen.
Men who are utterly devoid of any ap
probation Of nomenclature have no
