IN THE TOLLS AGAIN.
Chicago Police Capture One Of the
Escaped Prisoners from
kenOSha.
ived this season.

Kenosha. Wis, Aug 20.--[Speciall--
Frank Miller, the alleged burglar who
broke jail here last Thursday night, was
captured in Chicago last night and was
brought back by Under-sheriff Harkins
today. Miller was the most wanted of
any of the prisoners who got away. He
had left a confession, duplicating Oliver
Perry Sackett as his companion, and
Sackett was arrested at Chicago last
Monday on the strength of it. 1t would
have been impossible to have convicted
Sackett without Miller's testimony.
Miller was the man whom Officer o Hare
shot twice IN arresting about three weeks
ago and was believed to be very dam
gerous burglar. In his confession he
charges Sackett with having led DR..
Jekyi and Mr.. Hyde life for years. The
return of Miller causes tine greatest good
feeling throughout the city since his
departure had occasioned the highest eX-
cltement. Both Miller and Sackett will
be tried IN September.

IS absolutely necessary to us if we fry to
convict Sackett, the man arrested here
last week for the attempted murder of

confession, implicated Sackett IN the
numerous burglaries he admitted having
committed in Wisconsin,

Two Veterans Killed.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 20, 1896
Two inmates of the Soldiers home
were killed about $50 o'clock last even
ing. They were Richard Bottled aged
rs years. late of the United States navy,
and William /. Gordon, late of Co. j..
Ninth Ohio infantry.
They were returning to the home about
8 O'Clock in the evening and were
going up the steps of the main building
where both fell backward. down seven
or eight of the steps to the fagstones
below. The head of each struck on
the stones. causing conclusion of the
brain. They were discovered almost
Immediately and taken te the hospital
where Bottled died at 9:45 and Gordon
nearly two hours later.
1t is supposed that the two men were
ascending the steps together when a
msstep was made by one, and, in trying
to save himself, be must have caught
at the arm of his companion, both los
ing their balance. No one was near
when the accident occurred. Bottled

in East Chatham. =. Y; she was imme-
dIately notified and the funeral VIII not

PAPER MILLS SHUT DOWN.
Rest Taken to Give the Water at Neenah
Chance to Rise.

Appleton. Wis Aug. 22-[SpeciaLl-
This morning ali the paper mills and
other manufacturing establishments in
the Fox River valley, from Neenah to
Depere, shut down their water wheels
aud no water for power is now being
drawn from Lake Winnebago. The
shut down is a voluntary one on the
part of the manufacturers. The idea is
TO cUrtail the product somewhat, make
minor repairs and allow the water to &C
emulate.
It is thought that this action will have
q beneficial effect upon the paper mar
ket which is ar present considerably de-
pressed. A necessity also exists of rails
ing the level Of the lake, which has
now practically reached the low-water
limit of six inches below the crest of
the Menasha dam. Even at that level,
however. the water is { or s inches high
er than at any time last year. AS all
the mills are now provided with steam
there viii be no difficulty about filling or
ders or keeping the mills going where
owners so desire, but rs the curtailment
of prodsct is one of the principal objects
of the shutdown it is not likely that
many of the mills will attempt to run.
