BETTER TINES

The influence of the tremendous war
expenditures of the government, it is
complained, is not felt as yet bv the
working classes of the country. This
is offered as an explanation of the fact
that the retail trade fails to exhibit the
life which is supposed TO be INSOFAR
able from war times. an expansion OF
the circulating medium. and the in
evitable cheapening of its purchasing
power. In reality the government has
thus far paid in actual cash but a
small fraction of the obligation il has
assumed When payments begin to
be made an era OF grea, prosperity will
have set in.

Sawed His Way to Liberty.

South Bend, Ind.-South Bend was
thrown into much excitement this
morning upon discovery that George
West, alias Rivers, transferred TO the
northern prison from the Jefferson
vile reformatory, had escaped from
the new Jail some time during the
night, after learning that he could not
get a new trial on charge of having
robbed the South Bend National Bank
Of $4,000, in December, 1893, on which
charge he was recently convicted and
resentenced to fourteen years impris-
onment. After his conviction he
feigned sickness and was placed in the
Jail hospital. He escaped by saving
through the window bars. There is
much indignation felt because OF his
escape. He was still at Michigan City

charge of bank robbery. The Jail was
supposed to be perfectly secure.

SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE


With the Spanish fleet in a trap the
war will be ended. probably, with
clap of thunder. If Ceryera attempts
20 escape from Santiago he will be
smashed into smithereens by Comma

he is the army. under Coppinger and
Shafter, will effect landing. capture
Santiago and make the bay too hot 10

may Cervera's feet must be ours. and
that may mean the end of the war.
The rainy season in Cuba began at
a later date this year than usual which
may indicate heavier rainfall than i'm
former years. The rains generally be-
gin abOut the first of May and last I'M
ill the latter part of October, but this
year the first heavy rainfall occurred
only a week ago.

Chicago platform and William Jen-
nings Bryan, favored the war against
Spain, opposed a bond issue, and in
dorsed John A. NJ. Adair for the demo-
cratic nomination for treasurer of the
state. Concerning the sound-money
democrats who opposed Bryan, the
resolutions say: I'VE sincerely de-
plore the selfishness or blindness OF
those of our former political brethren
who deserted our ranks during the
great battle for freedom, and while we
would gladly welcome them back into
the fold. we must give them to under
stand that they can have no part in

Song Birds in Evidence.


Hagerstown, Ind.-The great number
Of song birds that fairly throng the
woods, fields and hedges this spring is
the subject of common remark. They
have not been seen in such numbers
for years. The wisdom of the legisla-
ture in making it a misdemeanor some
years ago to kill. MAIN or capture any
song bird is now becoming apparent.
This law was passed some years ago
when several species of birds were
threatened with extinction. The effect
of the law was not at once noticeable.
but is now manifest to a gratifying ne
gree. All birds popularity known as
song birds are insectivorous, and the
value of their work in destroying in
sects that feed upon grain and fruit is
entirely beyond computation.
