The feature OF the wholesale mar
kets this week Is the advance In flour,
the second that has occurred within

effect Of advancing the quotations on
the American crop.

A Flag Day Suggested.

Chairman Mark Hanna in behalf of the
Republican national committee has issued
the following address to the Republican
voters of the country:
1.-The American flag has been in the
present campaign the emblem and insignia
of national honor. Its influence has been
for great good in the cause of the people
Its display in many places has been potent
in the advancement of the country's battle
for the maintenance Of its honor at home
and abroad. | therefore suggest that on
Saturday, October 81, all who intend to
vote on November 3 for the preservation
OF our national honor, or sound money
and the advancement of our peoples inter
est and general prosperity, display the
national colors at tnrir homes, their places
OF business. and wherever they may be
seen, In order that voters whose hearts are
tor tn, ir country may be strengthened in
their purpose, and those who are undcter-
mined may more patriotically and intelli-
gently conclude how best to perform their
duty as citizens"
1t is further suggested at the headquar-
tiers Of the Republican national committee
that state, county and city committees and
clubs supporting sound money and the
nations integrity encourage the display Of
the national flag on the last Saturday in
the campaign in every part of the country,
at the residences Of those in

ment.

schools (lS92) to each

Leaving out the view now all questions
concerning the location, grade, equipment
and organization of these schools, we arrive
instantaneously at one conclusion-this.
namely, that Vermont has twice as many
normal schools in proportion to her popula-
ton as any other community on the globe.
She has twice as many as Massachusetts, or
Maine; three times as many as New Hamp-
shire or Rhode Island or Connecticut :;
about four times as many as Pennsylvania
or New York, and eleven times as many as
Ohio.

The Normal Schools.

A writer in communication to the Free
Press gives the following interesting in
formation:
At the time the question Of the establish
ment of the normal schools was agitated,
the main argument urged by Secretary j.
S. Adams for three (rather than for one or
two or four) schools, was the (then) fact
that the state was divided into three con-
gressional districts. Therefore, there
should be three normal schools, one for
each district. This simple and easy rule
would give US $50 such schools for the
whole United States At present there are
(see latest statistics of the U. S. Bureau of
Education) 121 such schools.
A little light may be cast on the problem
by comparing the normal school statistics
of few states and countries whose educa-
tional systems and conditions are most like
our own. A careful attention is asked,
therefore, to the following table, made up
from the latest figures readily accessible

Attempted Jail Delivery in Keene.
Sunday, October IS, was probably the
most unpleasant sabbath tor the prisoner
in the county Jail in Keene since the COM
pletion Of the present building in 1884.
The reason for this was concerted at
tempt on the part OF the prisoners to re-
gain their liberty by digging out portion
OF the Jail wall, which was discovered by
Sheriff Tuttle during his regular inspec-
ton OF the prisoners quarters at the close
OF the week, just in time to prevent every
inmate OF the Jail who chose to do so from
crawling out into the Jail yard and escap-
ing thence by methods which had probably
been carefully arranged, without much de-
lay, it being necessary only to get through
or over the 12-foot iron fence which sur
rounds the enclosure.
Sunday afternoon, during the time when
the prisoners are usually all allowed their
liberty in the corridor, is supposed to have
been the time planned Tor their escape and
the excavation OF the jail wall had been
carried far enough so that they could
quickly have made their escape to the jail
yard, at that time.
There are at present sixteen prisoners in
the Jail, twelve OF whom are awaiting trial
while four are serving sentences, the latter
being Michael and Daniel Donovon, James
Coffee aud Joseph Babcock.
The leaders in the attempt to break Jail
were Cyrus Barber, the Swanzey burglar
who robbed numerous dwellings and is an
old hand at the business, Frank Howard,
who is IN for bicycle stealing and who has
already served term in state prison, and
q. b. Greeley, who broke into the depot
at Westmoreland. Numerous others as
sisted them in the work.
The Jail is carefully inspected two or
three times each week by Mr.. Tuttle or
his assistant, Nathaniel Henry, who is
always on duty in the jailer's absence.
The final inspection OF the week led to the
discovery. 1t did not take long to pick
out the leaders, who were at once placed
in irons and locked in their cells. Fur
ther investigation showed that substan-
tally all the prisoners were implicated.
The sheriff then decided to lock them all
in their cells and yesterday was perhaps
the dullest Sunday which the inmates IN
Jail ever spent. This punishment will be
continued for time.
