There is a growing sentiment that the

mind would lose nothing OF ITS native

labor Is TO be coveted, not scorned.

THE DUPLICATE KEY Was FOUND.
Thrown Away by the Escapes at
Seventh and G Streets.
1t Was Made by Parties on the Out
side and Thrown Into the Jail
yard just Before the Break.

AS stated in the Record U MON yester-
day. Frank Soden and William Williams.
two of the men who escaped from the
County Jail on Saturday evening, were
captured at New Hope Landing by g
Constable on Monday afternoon. Yes
terday Sheriff johnson and Deputy Nc.
Donald went down to Walnut Grove,
where the prisoners were turned over to
them and brought up to the County Jail.
This leaves only four OF the escapes still
at liberty, and the probability is that
some of them will be captured, if not all.
The key with which they escaped from
the Jail was found yesterday at the cor
ner of Seventh and @ streets by man
who was cutting grass between the curb
ing and the sidewalk, and taken up to
Jailer Beckley. 1t is Of brass and about
four inches long.
There is no longer any doubt that the
prisoners had assistance from the out
side, as one of the escapes has confessed
to Beckley that the key was thrown over
the wall from the alley with package of
dope" a few minutes before the break
occurred. He also said that several keys
were made before one was received that
would tit the lock. and that a flat piece
of wood was introduced into the lock
and turned till the marks of the wards
appeared on il, and was thrown over the
wall to the party on the outside, who
made a key to correspond. If this be So,
the sooner the Supervisors provide new
locks for the outside doors the better in
order TO prevent a general Jail delivery.
The lock Is on the inside of the door, SO
that no one from the outside can get at it
and the keyhole does not 60 through the

Philip Oppenheim has made his return

he should not be punished for contempt OF

counsel for plaintiff, ana Emmanuel,
modified the Injunction by ordering
Philip to pay the income accrued and to
hereafter accrue from all property In his

The character drawing which the dramat-

sarily stand out boldly. The single hint
of the novel, during all the life of the

into boding, ominous threat, put into
actual words and frequently repeated.
and the relations of Little Billee and the

A Very Good Reason.

The Record u Mon does not advise vot-
ers TO cast their ballots for the Repub-
llcan nominees because they are Repub-
licans, alone, but because the Repu blican
party has nominated the best ticket for
the times. And it does advise voters to
support the Republican ticket for one
reason, among others, that we may have
an administration of city affairs under a
responsible party, by Mayor and other
officials politically in harmony with one
another, and standing upon platform
adopted and promulgated by strong
party that can be held to accountability.
