NO TRACE OF TAYLOR.

Mystery Surrounds the Successful Flight
of the Notorious Murderer.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, April 1.-Two
days and a night have passed and still
there is no trace of George Taylor, the
missing murderer of the Meeks family,
who escaped from the Carrollton Jail
Saturday night. His brother, Bill
Taylor, who was captured in the nick
of time, was brought to Kansas City
yesterday and placed in the county Jail
for safe keeping. The attorney for the
Taylor brothers called at the Jail last
night and consulted with the prisoner
for 25 minutes, He left later for Jeffer-
son City and to-day will go before the
supreme court with proposition in re-
gard to George Taylor. 1t is that if the
missing man does not give himself up
in ten days the court is not to grant
rehearing of the case, and he will be
hanged when caught, but if he sur
renders rehearing for both men is to
be granted. It is thought this will in
duce George to return to jail. There
was great danger of Bill Taylor being
lynched if he had been kept longer in
Carrollton and the angry threats of the
people of that town against Sheriff
Stanley himself for his alleged care
lessness in allowing George Taylor to
escape BODIED i'll for the sheriM's safe
ty. Deputy Sheriff Lon Shelton also
comes in for severe censure.

WASHINGTON, April ID. There is no

Secretary Olney in his communicate
to the Spanish government has offered
the mediation of the president between
Spain and her rebellious colonists
in Cuba. This offer has been made,
according to report, as delicately and

Not bv the Air Line.

The common English delusion that
Scotchmen have no sense of humor is
due to the inability of the English to
understand the Scotch humor, which
has much finer point then theirs.
Here is an incident which is used to IL
lustrate the supposed density of under
standing of the Scotchman; it really
illustrates the fact that his humor is
keener than the other mans. Mac
lavish, coming to London, met a
cockney on the road. Hoo faur is't
to London?" asked MacTavish. Ten
miles, as the crow flies" answered the
cockney. "Hoots, toots, mou," said
MacTavish. I'm no gaun to flee; I'm
gaun to waulk. Hoo mony miles is't

Passing of the Harmonists.

The passing of the Harmonists, the
society given to cloister life and other
austerities at Economy, is significant
only in the fact that it removes one of
the strange and peculiar institutions
plan ted on Pennsylvania soil over a
century ago, companion to the commu-
nifty centers at Ephrata, Nazareth and
Bethlehem. From the first days of
institution there has been no exodus
save that caused by death, and the
grim reaper has reduced the hundreds
at Economy, the sect founded by the
Rapps, to IS. Thrifty habits and a
frugal life enabled them to build up an
immensely valuable property, and it
will be interesting to watch the final
dispositions of estates that represents
so much toll and sacrifice. Rapp
sought in the forests the solitude his
soul desired, and the religious idea
was the basis of his experiments. The
communistic was merely incidental.
The pious German decided that the
fall of Austerlitz was the foreshadow
of the second coming, just as the blood
and slaughter of the nations was the
sign and token. and this decision led
him to found the colony at Economy.
There he aimed to renew the life OF
the early church, the church of the
apostles and the early believers. AS
the first specimen of practical com
munism the Economy venture has been
regarded as great success, but RapE
only adopted the communistic feature
for the sake of being consistent.-Phil-

One of the Meekg Family Wanderers Breaks

CARRoLLToN, Mo-, April 13.-The
Taylor brothers, under sentence to be
hanged here April 80 for the murders
of the Neeks family, escaped from the
jail here about $40 o'clock Saturday
night, and George is still at large.
William was captured as he reached
the ground from the roof of the build
ing, from which he descended by
means of the hose used in washing the
Jail Lee Cunningham. who was also
confined in Jail for murder, was recap
tured at the same time. George Tay-
Tor did not go down the rope where
Bill and Cunningham were captured,
and when Bill said George was still on
the roof he told the truth. But he
climbed down the smokestack of the
furnace and escaped on the opposite
side of the jail. The people are not
at all surprised at the escape. It
had been expected for some time. The
| encouragement telegraphed here for
an affidavit from Sheriff Stanley about
the escape of Taylor. This was for
warded last night. The motion for
a rehcaring comes up soon before
the supreme court, and this escape
will, it is believed, prevent its being
heard, and makes sure of the execution
of Bill Taylor on the 3Oth.

the knowledge, that so many forms or

ton of the system, which the pleasant

ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes Internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-

chase, that you have the genuine artl-

HE MAKES ANOTHER SPEECH.
Standing Upon Box He Yields to the
Demands of Insistent People.


Poughkeepsie, Ohio, August H.
When Mr.. Bryan reached Poughkeepsie
day about 400 people were at the dock
to greet him. They followed him up
the street. cheering and shouting for a
speech. When he reached the depot the
crowd became so insistent that he finally
yielded to their wishes, and, standing
outside the station on box, said in brief:
81 am up here for rest and did not
expect to make speech, but shall prob
ably not see you again and shall take
this opportunity to say few words to
you. L am very glad to see you all.
From the tone of the New York opposi-
ton press one would be led to think that
there was no silver sentiment in this
State. am glad to see here REPUTATION
of that fallacy and to notice that even
the great New York dailies cannot stiGe
the wishes of the people. Thits is time
when the thinking people are to out
number the politicians and the corpora
lions and when the people will act ac-
cording to their own judgment 1t is to
be the greatest campaign that I'VE young
people have ever seen and / believe that
1t is great good sign when we can, as III
this campaign, >see independence We
are naturally an independent people
and this is time when that indie
pendance is to be asserted
Then Mr.. Bryan said: GLOW many
men here are silver mem" A number of
men raised their hands and he said:
II want you to study up this matter
and see how many silver men you can
get for our campaign"
How are you for the working man:'
shouted man in the crowd
Mr.. Bryan hesitated Il second and held
his index finger poised as he replied:
will you take what I have said and
what have done, consider it very care
fully and then judge as between our
cause and that of our opponents? Candi-
dates report only the policies of their
parties and it is therefore not for me to
tell you what is your duty 1t is for you
to study the issues, and l am glad that
you are doing that; and when you find
out what you duty is, do it.

occurred here this morning in connection
with the nationalist manifestation i'm
favor of granting amnesty to the Irish
political prisoners There was several
professions of nationalists through the
streets as a beginning, which finally
merged into large procession, headed by
bandsmen armed with spears. The pro

people and stone. throwing soon COM
menced. This served TO enrage the ma

the crowd with their spears, wounding
many people. The police charged the
rioters and used their batons freely, with
the result that several persons were hurt
before order was restored. The rioting
caused the greatest excitement through
out the city and further disturbances
are feared this evening if the demon
strators carry out their threat of return

marching throughout the main streets of
Belfast. The police, however, are taking
steps to make n display of force calcu-
lated to prevent any further serious riot
ing and, if necessary, the military will
