HINT "A Look at Her Face Convinced
Her Husband She Had Failed.
DIR. Jones was sitting at the break
fast table when the postman called and
deposited on the plate, among his let
tiers. an ordinary express tag covered
with postmarks and strange inserip-
tions. Mrs Jones took possession of the
T. and scrutinized it with deep per-
plexity.
For goodness sake tell me what this
is. George" she said, at length.
Her husband glanced at it back and
front.

Mrs. Jones walked all around the cor
rider on the second floor of the federal
building three times before she found
the inquiry department. There were
several people there before her and she
| had to wait over an hour before her turn
came at the window. Not one of her
predecessors looked happy as he turned
/ away.
''Can you throw any light on this? ~
she demanded, in tone of concentrated
scorn, handing the tag to the clerk.
"Not unless you can give description
of the package" he replied.
But neither Or. Jones nor myself
ever saw or heard of it," she protested
losing courage rapidly in the musty
| official atmosphere.

desperately, thinking of the diamond
! ring.
''Oh, yes, lady. Thousands of 'em

Mrs. Jones did not say another word
but a glance at her face that evening
convinced her husband that she had as

Prisoner Escaped.
Secretary of state.

Pedestrians on upper Main street were
startled Thursday evening about $50
by a crash of window glass at the coun-
ty jail and the spectacle of a man dash
ing wildly up the street. 1t was the
notorious Pat. Scott making his escape.
He was the prisoner awaiting trial on
the charge OF breaking into a freight car
and burgiarizing the sample trunks OF
George Doll, travelling salesman for
Wright. Barrett 4 Stillwell Of st. Paul.
BY some means, he became possessed of
a saw with which he severed six bars OF
his stell cage. Just when he did this
work is not known, as the prisoners in
the adjoining cells disclaim any know
ledge OF it. 1t is probable that he had
been working at it for several nights
when the rest were asleep. The work
was neatly done and could be detected
only by the closest Investigation. When
the iailer had gone to supper, he
bent the bars down far enough to allow
OF his slipping thro'. He was then in
the front part OF the building with
nothing but the plate front between him
and freedom. He promptly put his foot
thro the glass, crawled out and went
up Main street on a run before any one
in the neighborhood could grasp the
situation and detain him.
He was seen afterwards near the West
hotel and later on the road north OF
town, but though the closest search has
been made by the sheriff and deputies,
he has not been heard OF since.
lie was u thoro ugh-going desperate,
and the authorities are deeply chagrined
over his escape, as there is no doubt but
that ne was wanted by the Chicago
police for "a series OF crimes committed in
that city. Confinement in a cell was
certainly no new experience for him, as
only the habitual malefactor is skiIfu l
enough to manipulate II steel saw and
hoodwink the guards as neatly az he
did. Assistance from the outside must
have reached hi IN some manner, and
even this feature puzzles the sheriff, as
ne was suspicious OF him aud claims he
had him and the cell searched several
times.
A description OF him has been trle-
phonsd to n~eighboring towns, but the
chances are greatly against his recap
ture.

Proclamation.

State of South Dakota, Executive
Mansion, Pierre.
In keeping with the proclamation
of the President Of the United States
/, Andrew K. Lee, governor of the
state of South Dakota, do appoint
Thursday, the 25th day of Novem-
Der, A. d. 1897, a day of thanks
giving and praise throughout the
state.
On that day, let all places of
business be closed, that all people
may worship and return thanks to
the Almighty Father for His many
mercies and watchful care over the m
during the past year.
We have been preserved from
famine, pestilence and storm, and
our fields and herds have maintained
us in reasonable independence. We
are not afflicted with the extre mes
of poverty and wealth which mark
the condition of other localities, and
by comparison, at least, we have
much to be thankful for as we'll as
much to hope for in the future.
We are grateful to the Giver of
all good for the blessings we have
enjoyed. While acknowledging the
blessings of Providence, we are not
unmindful that the misfortunes
which have befallen our fellow-men
in foreign lands have contributed
much to our prosperity.
For his bounties bestowed upon
US, let us be truly thankful, and out
of our abundance let US not forget
to contribute to the less fortunate,
both at home and abroad.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state of South Da.

d. 1897.

What voIkmar is Thankful For.
Grant County Review.

Grant County Review.
The Review observes that a lot of
pop newspapers are running insur-
ance statements sent out by the new
insurance commissioners, Kipp. IT.
asmuch as more have been sent to
the Review, it is fair to presume that
the pop administration at Pierre no
longer considers the Review a pop
newspaper. Well, thank the coed
Lord, it isn't a pop newspaper in the
sense that the political misit at
Pierre is constituted. The Review
did heartily support Andy Lee for
governor because 1t thought he
would make a good governor, but
we will take it all back. Andy may
understand trading steers and hogs
and selling molasses and calico, but
as a governor,-don't mention it.
As for his appointee for insurance
commissioners, Kipp,-well, Xipp's a
dandy. If you don't think so, just
ask the whole push of "prominent
men of South Dakota" who were
bilked to the tune of from S25 to
800 during the session of 81 for a
write-up in a book which never
made its appearances. Andy and his
sweet-scented coterie of followers
have never liked the editor Of the
Review very we'll since they failed
to bulldoze him into opposing SEN
ator Kyle. And this explains why
no insurance statements find their
way to the Review. Oh, won't there
be a jolly time a year hence about
convention and election time /!
