SLIPPERY FROST.


Last Saturday night John Frost, who
has been in Jail for about year. broke
Jail by giving the jailer the slip. He
Is a sly fellow and was too quick that
time for those in charge and slipped
out the door and soon away in the
darkness. They tracked him some dis
tance but lost trace Of him till one day
last week they got word from authors
ties in Lincoln, Neb.. that one answer
ing his description was arrested and
held there awaiting their orders and
Immediately Sheriff Jones left for that
place returning the next morning in
charge of Frost and he is in Jail here
once more. Frost was first put in Jail
here for cruelty beating man at Extra.
Before his term of imprisonment ex-
pired for that offense he dug out Of jail
and escaped. On being recaptured he
was sentenced to several months for
breaking jail and had four or five
months service ahead of him when he
slipped out the other night. If he is
tried and sentenced again he will per-
haps be further from liberty than ever
without he escapes again. He is becom-
ing an expensive fellow for the county.
We would be better off II he was gone
from here for good.
= PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF WATER
WORKS.

At Cedar Rapids the movement for
municipal ownership of the water
works has reached the acute stage and
special election is to be held Deem.
Der is to vote on proposition to pu

Denver by vote of two to one have
just authorized bond issue of 81, 700 OOt
for the purpose of buying the existing
plant or constructing a new one. II
both cities the people have made thu
misssake of rejecting the water com
pany's proposition to sell at price t.
be fixed by five appraisers, two to b.
selected by the company, two by thu
city, the fifth by these four and the de
cision of the majority to be final. TIT
people of Dubuque would readily &C
cept such proposition If the Dubuque

the court of arbitration should have al
the powers of court of equity with re
spect to the summoning of witnesse
and that the decision of majority o
the appraisers should be binding. TIL
difficulty here, while it originated from
another cause, has continued through
the companys refusal to give eVidenc
of its good faith by entering into sucl
stipulation. The attorneys for tn
city desired to make it before the or

saw this show this year at Maidstone
and the Hereford show there did not
come anywhere near the one just held
in Kansas City. The animals exhib-
tied at the American show were of a
better type, more uniform and of y
higher average degree of excellence.
They are more profitable cattle, better
money-makers. They kill better and
are better on the block, and that is the
ultimate test of all breeds of cattle.
There seems to be more refinement of
breeding, SO to speak, in American
Herefords as compared with their Eng
lish relatives. Such show should
thrill every American stockman with

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
Ta-ta-pi-cha is Denied the Possession
Of His Bride.

Marshalltown, Nov. 16.-Judge Burn-
ham has refused to grant the applica-
tion for writ of habeas corpus, made
by Ta-Ta-Pi-Cha, the young Musqua>
kie, who was married two short weeks
ago to Lelah-Puc-Ka Chez, but denied
the possession of his bride. The lat
ter has seen less than 1s summers and
according to the custom of the feder-
al court, has white guardian whose
duty it is to see that she attends school
until she is of age. When she was
married this guardian exercised his
function by insisting that his ward
continue to attend school until her
majority. Ta-Ta-Pi-Cha felt very put
out about this and made the applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus for
the possession and control of his wife,
which was refused hysJudge Burnham.
The youthfuls lovers ATE almost
heartbroken at the result, and bemoan
the cruel fate which placed them in
the power of the white man. Ta-Ta=Pi-
Cha was in Des Moines during the Se-
nj ON Sed carnival and could scarcely
be persuaded to remain through it, so
great was his desire to return to his
sweetheart. The only way, however,
to keep Indians in school is to have
white guardians.

DIES IN THE CAB.
Frank Glover, Rock Island Engineer
stricken While on Duly.

Eldon, Nov. 14.-(Special.)-Franll
Glover, an old engineer on the Rock
Island, was brought into this place last
night in a dying condition, aud expired
a few minutes after his arrival. The
facts pertaining to his death are mea-
gre and seem to be as follows:
While on his engine coming towards
Eldon last evening on the grade be-
tween that place and Unionville, he
signalled to the fireman to stop firing.
Immediately after the fireman noticed
him fall forward, while in the act of
putting on the air. He spasmodically
grasred the throttle, opened it and the
train shot down the grade. The fire.
man shut off the steam, stopped the
train and had the engineer taken to
the caboose. Mr.. Glover was taken
to Eldon, where physicians We're called,
but he expired in twenty minutes af-
ter his arrival. Mr.. Glover's home was
in Trenton, Mo-. and he had formerly
been resident of Elaan for many
years. The cause of death is given as
paralysis.

MITcHELLvlLLE RIOT
Outbreak Sunday Night Soon Quclled
by the Gna rda.

Des Moines, Nov. 16.AThe grand ju-
ry returned yesterday from trip to
the Iowa Industrial School for Girls at
Mitchellville. The members spent a
good portion of Tuesday afternoon and
evening examining witnesses at the
school and in the town, going over the
building and inquiripg into the man
ner in which it is conducted and gath
ering other information for use in its
Forthcoming report on the recent riots
at the school.
incidentally they learned that an
other outbreak occurred at the school
last Sunday night, which the officers
in charge have been studiously trying
to cover up. 1t was tame affair, how
ever, as compared to the first big DEM
onstration of four weeks ago and was
soon nipped in the bud. Six girls con-
lined i'll building number two, all of
whom We're recently returned to the
school from the Polk county jail, par
ticipated. They started the trouble af-
ter they had been locked up for the
night by smashing out window glass
with chairs, breaking up furniture and
battering down the doors in the rooms
in which they We're confined. 1t was
evident that general uprising had
been planned and that there would
have been serious trouble but for the
timely interference of special guards
who have been stationed at the school
since the first outbreak. Before the
girls could get into the corridors and
release the girls confined in the other
rooms, they We're taken in custoI v,
hustled off to the basement and locked
up in secure quarters.
The girls told members of the jury
that trouble was occasioned by the fail
ure of Superintendent Miller to keep
the promises made to them when they
We're returned TO the school. They
said he had promised they would be
sent home in short time and that
they would not be confined in their
rooms, but permitted to work. They
claim these promises have been violat-
ed and give this as an excuse for the
outbreak. Miller denies that promises
We're made and the jury is disposed to
believe him.

serIou. Trouble In German Colony.

Liverpool, Nov. 16.-Merchants hav-
ing factories in the German Cameroons
at Batanga and Kribi, where the rising
of natives occurred, say the rising is
general and of the most serious ma
ture. The rebels of the Bull tribe are
exceedingly numerous and warlike.
The English and other factories, a
short distance from the coast, were
plundersd, the agents having TO fly for
their lives. AT Batanga 1000 natives
made descent from the interior, but
were unable to cross the river, as they
had no boats, and were unable to ford
it, owing to its swollen state. This
saved -Batanga and the lives of all the
white and black traders.
