Webber's last Monday evening. And by the
way, the corn crop is good here this season.
AS we see the tons of feed carted back into
the country from the Swan & Sibley mill in
this village we are led to wonder why the
farmers of this community do not raise their
own feed. They are complaining that they
cannot obtain remunerative cash prices for
their crops and yet they pay out thousands
of dollars in cash in this little village alone
for feed that they ought to raise on their own
farms. Every farmer in this county should
raise his own feed and nothing that
he can raise will pay him better.
Elmer Roberts, our genial station agent,
with his wife, made very pleasant visit
last Saturday to Mr.. and Benz. Hussey of

PERRY CAPTURED.
LAST OF THE MEN WHO ESCAPED
 FROM WATERMAN CAUGHT.

For Several Days He Walked About In
 ed-Found In the Company of Lot of
 Trsmps Around a Bonfire.
 WEEHAwKEN, N. J., April 17.-After five days and a few hours of dearly bought liberty Oliver Curtis Perry, the daring train robber who escaped, with four oth. CTS, from the Matteawan Insane asylum last Wednesday night, was captured after an incessant search and is now n prisoner n the Hudson county jail, awaiting a acquisition for his removal to the New York institution.
 The story of his rearrest can be briefly told; but although he kept sullenly silent for ovor eight hours a few minutes after he acknowledged his identity to Chief of Police Kelly hc gave a vivid description of his escape and subsequent syanderinrs to a score of reporters at the police station here
 He was very reticent as to his exact movements after he left the asylum and fenced carefully with every question asked him as to who befriendeu him during his fiye days flight. He was evidently con- cealing tho whereabouts of his friends and he acknowledged having a lot of thom, but he carefully avoided giving any olew by which they could be located
 The place where he was caught is on the banks of tho Hudson river about a quarter of nile below the elevated struo- ture leading to Eldorado and on the line of the West Shore railroad.
 A short time after he had confessed to Chief Kelly the reporters were admitted to soc Perry. The latter was brought out of his cell and sat on the sill of n heavily barred window, where he tod his story.
 He spoke very intolligently and showed no signs of insanity. His deep sot eyes were the only features which showed that he was a desperate fellow.
 He told of his escape from Matteawan, but refused to say where he was or where he went from Wednesday to Saturday night
 "I'll toll you this, " he continued. 1T reached New York on Saturday night last It was about midnight spoke to a number of policemen, and, although this was risky work, you know fellow has got to make bluff sometimes. My feet troubled me very much. as they were all cut and bruised. I asked one police man where Jerry McCauley's was on Wa ter street. The officer directed me but 1t was a long way of, and I walked there. When fellow is being looked for by the police, he must never run away if he meets one, for then the cops will run after you, but If you go mp and talk to them you put them of the scent, and in most cases you will be safe.
 "oh, what roast," said he, smiling, "for tho New York police! I was there nearly two days, and they didn't know 1t. When I got to the mission house, was heart broken, tired out, and felt sure would get some comfort there as McCau- ley was an ex-convict himself"
 Then he told of how he went to the Chambers Street hospital and had his feet trfated
