the Central puts on a morning instead

IA PRISONERS BOLD ESCAPE.

A PRISONERS BOLD ESCAPE.
Huntington Hawkeye.l
Conductor Goodell of the Burlington
told yesterday of the escape of a prison-
er from the officer In charge while COM
ing east on Goodell's train Friday night.
AT Abba, he says, he observed the sher-
iff and his prisoner standing upon the
car platform. After the train had left
the station and before much Roadway
had been gained the sheriff came run
ming through the train locking for his
overcoat and crying to stop the train,
that the prisoner had escaped. Instead
Of jumping off after the prisoner the
officer had lost valuable time and all
track of his prisoner before the train
was stopped. The officer VAS the sher-8
iffs or his deputy from Logan, Harrison
county.
JUDGE W0oLsON'ss SUCCESSOR.
dubuque Times.l
Many lawyers of prominence in the
southern part of the state have been
mentioned as possible successors to the
late Judge Woolson on the federal
bench Congressman Smith Mcpherson,
of Red Oak, is among the best known
and ahlest, but it is objected that his
resignation from congress would pre-
cipitate a fight in q close district at a
season not the most favorable for the
success of his party. Judge loeemer OF
the supreme court, one of the strongest
lawyers in Iowa, has also been men
toned: also Judge Towner of Corning,
who has been thought the possible COM
petitor of Col. Hepburn in the Eighth
district next year; Judge @. A. Bishop
and w. III. Bailey, of Des Aoines; judge
Blanchard, of Oskaloosa, Judge H;,r-
yey. of Leon; Judge Applcgate, of Guth-
rie Center; Judge smith, of Council
Bluffs; Senator Junkin, Of FED Oak;
Senator Lewis, of Montezuma; judge
Ryan, of Newton, and Hon. Charles
Davis. of Red Oak.
Should custom he followed the cliolct
will fall on the candidate recommended
by Senator Gear. 1t is expected thai
no selection Will be made until aftel
the senatorial election in the Iowa iegis'
lature. Because a vacancy for Which,
he is In no manner responsible neees
sari,y brings advantage Senator Ge;s
there is disposition in some quarter:
to criticise him. Why not forbear Y
