A JAIL DELIVERY.
A Green POpuIist in Old Rich
ard BOyd's Place Let's
Prisoners Escape.

Four city prisoners made a break for
liberty this marning as Watchman
Roberts was taking the stone pile gang
to work They were successful. At
eight o'clock when the prisoners were
called for work, Watchman Roberts
started with them toward the jail yard.
When in the yard Harvey Enix, col
ored, James McGinnis, L. r. Smith AND
Al Casey ran toward the patrol barn.
Roberts shouted to them to halt. but
they paid no attention to him. Being
with the other prisoners he could not
give chase. He blew his whistle which
called other officers. But the four prs
oners had run through the barn and
north in the alley. They made rapid
escape and have not since been cap
tured. They were last heard from at
Shorey. Roberts was appointed a
short time ago by the police board
He had never had experience in this
line of work and the prisoners watched
their chance for escape. He took the
position formerly held by Richard
Boyd the faithful old guard who had
been on duty there so long. and who
was discharged for political reasons.
Sunday night burglars attempted to
get into the residence of Armin F'ass-
Ter at 522 West Tenth street, but two
dogs which are allowed to sleep in the
house. frightened them away.
in charge of the WOman's exchange at
1908 Topeka avenue, noticed a coIored
man lettering about the place. She
became alarmed and went across the
street to telephone to the police. While
she was out of the store the man en-
tered it and ran out the back door with
$40 taken from the money drawer. The
lady did not think to lock the front
door.
Three men were seen walking rapidly
across the state house square Monday
night about 1880 o'clock They each
had large bundles in their arms. 1t is
sup )sed that they are the ones who
burgIarized the Reel store at S25 Kan
sas avenue. No arrests have been made
by the police.
The marshal at Perry arrested two
men suspected of having burglarized
a Topeka mill office and after searching
them, locked them in room and placed
a guard over them for the night When
the men were brought to Topeka the
men each had a large revolver. suspend
ed in his trouser leg by strings. The
Perry marshal had searched only their
pockets.

ST. Loris Manufacturing.

In manufacturing, as in population, St
Louis recognizes bur three SuperiorS in the
United States. The gain 1t has made in
population has been remarkable; its prog
ress in mauufacturing has been pha1om
email. fn 1850 the aggregate value Of its
manufactured product was S7,y0,eh In
1895 the total valuation at the factory doors
was SS2A. go 90, showing that the business
done monthly was about equal to that OF
an entire year at the outbreak of the war.
During the same period New York increased
IT'S manufactures fvefold; Philadelphia
made about the same progress, while St
Louis scored n tWcivefold increase No
wonder Missorians are proud OF their
state and Of the great city which is sit
uated within 1t.
s'.In many lines of industry ST Louis leads
the United States; in some it leads the
world Every working day in the year
merchandise Of the average value of q
million dollars is produced, and employ
faent thereby found for more than 100 0nr
persons. II has the two largest tobacco
factories in the world, and its tobacco out
put is far greater than that rf any other
city II has the largest brewery in the
world. and also the largest shoe factory
jeans factory, shot tower, woodenwate
factory cracker factory. stamping plant
brick yard and #Fiite lead factory In the
United States. II is the greatest street
car producer in the world, and with the
rt.ssibie exception of Boston, manufactures
more shoes than any other city. It's 500
factories consume nearly 100 fhA,6 900 bush
els OF coal every year.
Its central location and its unique trans
pcrtation facilities have also placed st
Louis in the front rank as A wholesaiinc

diery and harness. soft hats. bags and
Faeeins. horses ana mules. and II sells
more than half the woodenwsre used in
the United States
These are r few instances Of st. Louis
