SAWED OFF THE BARS,
Three Prisoners Escape from The County Jail
at South Paris.

Boston, Sept. IA special to the
Herald from South Paris, Me-, says:
Three prisoners confined in the county
Jail here sawed off the bars Of their
cells and escaped between and 8
O'Clock, this evening. Sheriff Tucker,
who is also jailer. was absent from
home at the time, searching for the
man who attempted murder, yesterday.
Mrs. Tucker was alone in the house,
which is connected with the Jail.
The escaped prisoners are Fred Burt,
%. John Pierce, q. and Fremont Tam
bin, g. There can be but little doubt
that the men had accomplces on the
outside. 1t is believed that an attempt
was made to aid these men last night,
but the plan was frustrated by the
barking of a watch dog.
Burt was in iail awaiting the action
Of the grand jury and was charged
with enticing girl, who lived at South
Paris. into the woods and attempting
to kill her by chloroforming her Pierce
was in jail for stealing n watch, while
Tamblin was being held for the grand
jury on charge of being concerned in
burglary at Bryant'S pond
The men, when they escaped had on
their prison suits. 1t is learned that
At the time of the escape there were
two freight trains, one going north and
the other south. at the station here and
1t IS thought likely that the men board
ed one of these trains.

INHUMAN MOTHER
Hands Rifle to Husband With
Which to Shoot Son.
Cold-BIooded and Brutal Murder Of
Oliver Cakes Of Sherman,
Father ard Mother Under krres,-rarticuIars
Of The Awful Deed.

1ioulton, Me, Sept. 1.-Additional
details concerning the shooting of Oil
Yer Cakes by his father at Sheridan
plantation. yesterday, were received
here, today, To the effect that Adnet
Cakes and his wife have been placed
under arrest and Will be brought here
tomorrow.
From the facts now in possession OF
the authorities it appears that Oliver
Cakes went across his fathers oat field
at about I o'clock, Thursday morning
The old man saw him and SET the DOG
on him, the father following mt some
distance.
The son protested against the action
and hot words ensued. The two men
proceeded toward the house. quarrel
ing. When they reached the door. Alb
ner Cakes rushed in. but re-appeared
almost instantly with Shot gun, which
he fired at his son.
The shot missed. whereupon Mrs
Cakes, who had heard part Of the
quarrel. stepped out with another rifle
and passed it to her husband. who took
deliberate aim and shothis son through
the neck. The young man fell. APP
parently instantly killed.
The body rolled into the ditch at the
roadside. The man ana woman turned

A DREYFUS DAY.
Most Of the Testimony Is In
Favor Of the Captain.
One German Offered and Turned Down
---BertiIIon Severely Snubbed.
Another Day OF Evidence. Almost Wholly in
Favor Of the Accused.

Rennes. Sept. This was a very
satisfactory day for Dreyfus. The
Beaurepaire witness. German, was to
prove that Dreyfus attended the Alsa-
tan maneuvre;. found his statements
denied by a reputable witness. while
German himself, ii was proven had
undergone two convictions for swind-
ling. This was the only testimony
against Dreyfus. the remainder of the
dispositions being in his favor, several
Of them being very Weighty. In the
case of Capt. CarValho. Gen. Sebert
and Major Hartmann. their evidence
went to show that particulars Of the
firing manual Of the "120 gun" and
hydro-pneumatic brake were almost
matters of common knowledge among
the officers and that the contention
that Dreyfus, from his special position
on the staff, and peculiar movements
could alone be acquainted with them
had no solid basis.
This was the sum Of today's proceed
ings which We're not marked by an in
cident of unusual incident. the Roget
Brugere episode. in which Gen. Roget
clearly gave himself away, being the
tenticn.
NJ. BertillOn was severely snubbed by
the presiding officer when he wished to
reply to Gen. Sebert, who had con
demned his system as fantastic. As
soon as Gen. Sebert had finished his
testimony NJ. Bertillon bounced up and
asked to be allowed to speak, but Col.
Jouaust quickly turned TO the usher
and said: Bring in the next witness"
Whereupon NJ. Bertillon. extremely an
noyed. returned to his seat
NJ. Godefroy Cavaignac, former min
lister of war, returned to Rennes. this
evening. There is much speculation re-
speeding the motive of his re-appear-
ance here. The general conjecture is
that it implies a fresh shufiiing of the
cards of the prosecution. Symptoms of
dependency have manifested them
selves in Dreyfusard circles during the
last few days.

The mother writing. states: Il take
pleasure in sending you photo of
Mabel Anita Bennett, who is very fond
of Grape Nuts. Among all the pre-
pared foods we find Grape-Nuts es-
pecially fine for children beginning to
eat solids: they are so easily diSested
and nourishing. Little Mabel is al
ways very eager when she sees us pre-
pairing Grape Nuts for her, and YOU
can see by her face how thoroughly
satisfied she is with her meal. She
seems to think her mamma needs help
in getting the Grape-Nuts to her
mouth and the picture is true to life.
/ want to thank you for placing such
delicious and delicate food on the mar
ket. Respectfully. Mrs. l.. NJ. Bennett,
Forrest, Illinois"
No stomach is too delicate to re-
ceive and digest Grape-Nuts. for the
reason that the food is really pre-
digested by the processes through
which it passes in the manufacture,
and by these processes the starch is
transformed into grape sugar. which is
ready at once to go into rich blood and
build up the tissue of both muscle and
brain.
All first-class grocers sell Grape
Nuts and the Postum Cereal Co, Ltd,
make them at their factories at Battle
Creek.
