WEARY OF HIDING.
An Escaped Robber Returns From
KIondike, Makes Res titution,
and Surrenders.

Chicago, Sept. ia special to the
Times Herald from Memphis, Tenn, on
the surrendering of c. o. Summers to
the Mississippi authorities says:
Charles o. Summers, formerly a de-
tective, an escaped convict from the
Mississippi penitentiary, a gold hunter
of the KlOndike and a man with a con-
science, is again within prison walls
in Mississippi. He journeyed all the
way from Dawson City, Alaska, to
New York, from New York to Mem
phis and Memphis to Jackson, Miss,
to surrender himself as a safe robber.
Summers arrived in Memphis Thurs
day and called on Superintendent c.
w. Agee of the Southern Express COM
pany at his office. He introduced him
Agee recognized him. Summers said
he was tired of liberty that does not
mean freedom Even in the Klondille
he had no peace of mind. He thought
of going to China, but his conscience
led him back to Mississippi.
When he walked into Mr.. Ages Of
fee he was prepared not only to declare
repentance but to make restitution. He
turned over to Mr.. Agee 81, 500 in cash
to cover the amount of his Indebtedness
to the Southern Express company, even
including the company's expense Of
pursuing him He said that he would
also reimburse the state of Mississippi
for the expense of bringing him back
from California which he did promptly
on reaching Jackson, paying $500.
Mr. Agee told Summers he would
trust him to go to Jackson unattended
and that he could leave when he got
ready. Summers left Memphis and
superintendent Agee received a tele-
gram dated at Jackson containing the
simple words, Have arrived, and
signed Charles 0. Summers.
When Summers reached New York
from San Francisco, having gone from
Dawson City to that place, he wrote to
Governor McLaurim of Mississippi His
feelings during the years in which he
was a fugitive and an exile and ex-
pressed in this letter. He desires to
serve out his sentence, make reparatiOn
for the wrong and go forth in the world
a man not hunted by his fellow man.
In 1892 Summers was detective and
in that capacity was employed by the
Southern Express company to capture
Eugene Bunch, who had robbed South
ern Express train car at HamWond,
La in the spring of 1892. Bunch was
killed and his companions in the rob-
berry were captured.
While in the pursuit of the train rob-
bers Summers was in and about Meri-
dian, Miss, a great deal and familiar
lied himself with the details of the
office in Southern Express at that point.
Soon after he returned to Chicago and
divulged to tom" Murray, another de-
tective, a plan he had conceived to rob
the safe of the express company at
Meridian. Both Summers and Murray
resigned their positions and left Chi
ca go for Meridian.
Summers had in the meantime made
a false key to the office door and to the
safe. During the temporary absence Of
the night clerk and his force in at

NEVER UP AT NIGHT.

a man in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
F. J. Hill, a druggist, discovered that
one Of the most perfect and safe ways
to wean q babe was to begin feeding
Grape-Nuts, the famous breakfast food.
His letter states: IF there is a baby
food that is better than Grape-Nuts, it
must be a dandy. We began feeding
our little Garcia Grape-Nuts before
weaving. and for a few months after
1t was her only food, and a fatter more
healthy child could not be found. We
were never up a night, nor did she
have a days sickness. We didn't realize
when she gave up the nurse. Conse-
quently we feel grateful for the pro-
duct called Grape-Nuts, and wish you
success
This coming from a druggist who
has access to all the weT-known baby
foods is somewhat remarkable, but
when one realizes that Grape-Nuts are
composed of the most nourishing parts
of the cereals. treated by heat. time and
moisture. without any drugs whatsO-
ever, and thereby with scientific pro-
cesses actually pre-digested, in the
same manner that the human body
changes the starch of the cereals into
a delicate grape sugar, it is easy to
understand why the food can be han
died by even a very young baby.
It is not only the most powerful
nutritive food for athletes and strong
men, but, as seen, it is applicable to
the most delicate stOmachs. This fact
has been proven over and over again
by use with invalids and weak babies.
Add to these nutritive features, the
fact that Grape Nuts is of a most de-
liciOus flavor, the grape sugar to
be seen glistening on the little granules
and a reason is discovered for the uni
versa1 and enormous sale of the new
food product.

NEW FACTS
Brought to Light at Washington
Through Manila Papers

4
Washington, Sept. 16.-Recent copies
of the American published at Manila,
received at the war department, con-
tain many interesting items regarding
the progress of events in the Philip
pines, which have been omitted from
the regular press dispatches.
Although Cavite has been in the pos
session of the United States longer
than any other town in the islands, it
is strictly under military rule, but the
district commander and the provost
marshal have given the people every
concession which the eXigencies of the
service would permit. Natives are al
lowed the streets until half past nine
o'clock at night, and in other ways
they enjoy more liberty than do their
brethren in Manila.
Simplico SamaningO, a native of Ca
vite, has filed a claim with the United
States authorities for prize money in
connection with the capture of a fill
clustering expedition. It seems that he
furnished the information which led to
the seizure of the steamer Don Jose and
a small schooner, both loaded with con-
traband articles last spring
The White Mans Burden which has
been carried by the volunteers and reg
ulars in the Philippine islands for over
a year. is nOg being shared by some OF
the black boys of the United States.
A sergeant in the Twenty fourth in
fantry said the other day, when Saluted
with the question: What are you boys
take UP the white mans burden
According to a special dispatch the
people of Cebu are restless and threat
en- trouble. Although they seem to be
peaceful, it is thought to be through
fear alone. Cinnamon at SibOnga, Ce-
bu, are reported to be removing their
goods to the hills. The Twenty-third
infantry has established a camp at
Sibonga and are prepared for anything
that may occur. One of the Mosquito
fleet is off shore, keeping an eye upon
the cost and incidentally maintaining
a lookout of the filibusterS.
The establishment of a public aims
house and a home for incurableS at
Manila is being strongly advocated, not
only as a very necessary charity, but as
a means of protection for the American
and European population 1t is also
recommended that the jails be enlarg-
ed for the accommodation of Migrants
who are able to work but who will not
do so.
Good results are shown in the Manila
public school system. The total num-
Der of upils enrolled in that city during
July was 4,179. 1t is noteworthy that
parents express particular inter
est in the study of English and the pro-
gress being made by many pupils is a
matter of great family pride.
A wealthy Chinese tea merchant of
FOrmOsa intends to see if tea culture
cannot be prOdtably carried on in the
Philippines. 1t is said he is negotiat-
ing for a large tract of land on the is
land of NegrOS.

TO MAKE 1T POLITICAL.
Will Be an Adjourned Meeting of the
Trust Conference.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-The Chronicle to-
day says:
one OF the immediate results of the
trust conference will be the Inaugural
ton of a movement under Democratic
auspices to call an antitrust confer
ence in Chicago or Cincinnati about the
middle of October. The new national
executive committee of the national
committee may be urged to take the
subject under Amusement for future
action. Colonel Bryan was consulted
upon his arrival in Chicago about the
scheme and he is said to have given it
his approval. The Democratic members
of the conference We're in favor of 1T
almost to a man. They said that their
observation OF the function called by
the Civic Federation convinced them
that the great mass of the people want
a meeting that Will deal with the trust
question without equivOcatiOn.
Southern delegates, especially several
from Texas, pointed out to Mr.. Bryan
the political advantage that would ac-
crue to the Democratic party if its
managers could cOntrive to hold such
a meeting. The effect upon campaigns
pending in several western states, they
argued, would be good, for it would
serve to place the party in direct and
uneQuivocal opposition to trusts. Ex-

tendance upon a train a hundred feet
distant from the office, Summers en-
tered the office and safe by means of
the false keys and distracted a parcel
of $4,000. The money was handed to
Murray, who left on a train for New
Orleans while Summers retired to his
hotel.
When the loss was discovered Sum-
mers, known to be in the city, was
summoned to aid in tracing the thief.
In a short while express officials and
other detectives arrived upon the
scene and began an investigation. In
less than As hours Summers had been
arrested and confessed that he and
Murray had committed the theft.
Murray was arrested just as he was
leaving an Illinois Central train at Chi
cago on the third day after the rob-
berry and 81, 100 of the money was re-
covered from his person.
Both Summers and Murray pleaded
guilty and were sentenced to five years
each in the Mississippi state prison.
Summers had not been in prison over
ninety days when he effected his es-
cape.
This was in April, 1893. In the spring
of 1894 Summers was arrested in San
Francisco and was held to await the
arrival of officers from Mississippi, who
again imprisoned him.
A few months thereafter Summers
escaped again, this time bribing the
guard, who he took with him His eS-
cape was effected in August 1894 At
ter travelling around to different places
he finally went to the Klondike, but
learning that detectives were on his
trail, he disposed of his interests in
Dawson City and returned to the Unit
ed States. He arrived in New York
city September 10, direct from Dawson
City via San Francisco.
A special from Jackson, Miss, says
there is already a strong and growing
sentiment for the pardon of the re-
turned convict.
