Escaped Jail and Surrendered.

Alexandria.-Silas G. Garret, q
young white man, charged with the
murder Of his wife by the administra-
tion of poison at Montgomery, Grant
parish, about six months ago, made
his escape from the Alexandria jail
late Friday afternoon. The jailer re-
garded him as @ "trusty" and was in
the habit of releasing him during the
day and giving him the privilege Of
the Jail yard. This practice had been
continued some time, and as Garrett
has always been in on hand to be
locked up at night, he had gained the
confidence Of the jailer, who did not
suppose that he would betray it. AS
soon as his flight was discovered
deputies were sent in pursuit, but they
could find no trace of him. It was
learned, however, late Saturday after
noon that he had gone to Colfax and
surrendered himself to the sheriff OF
Grant parish and will be returned here.
1t is supposed that Garrett is endeav-
oring to feign insanity.

Saved @6O,0OO for kaiB BANK by prompt
Action.
A cashier employed in large west
ern city recently went over the COL
lateral held by his loan clerk simply
by way of precaution. He noticed that
one OF the banks best customers had
over $4,000 out on bills Of lading of
cattle on the way north. AS the house
in question had an abattoir, this was
not surprising. The firm was rated at
over $50o,000, and It's transactions
were on large scale. Suddenly 1t oc-
Cured to him that the way bills
looked very much alike. Comparison
showed that they were written by the
same hand. He took one to the rail-
road which was supposed to have Is
sued it, and found that 1t was for
gerry. The handwriting on the bills
was that OF a member Of the firm
which was borrowing the money. This
could mean but one thing-the firm
was In desperate financial difficulties
and about to go under. 1t was now
too late to do anything in the matter
that day. The cashier did not say
word to anybody, but went home. He
did not sleep that night, but planned
out his campaign for the next morn
Ing. The loans were all subject to
call af any time. He waited until
after the clearing house returns were
In for the day to excite no suspicion.
Then he had the guilty partner In the
cattle firm rung up on the telephone.
VERY sorry" he said to the cattle
man nonchalantly, "but We are debtors
in the clearing house today. Money
is little scarce. Guess We'll have to
ask you to repay that $4,000 worth
of loans today. Sorry to inconvenience
you, and If you want the money again
little later, will be glad to have you
call around" "Very we'll" came the
reply; will you have a check on our
account In your bank or on our 9TH
er bank% Better draw on the other
bank, as that Is customary" replied
the cashier. In few minutes the
check, duly certified by the cashier OF
the rival institution, was sent ip. The
cashier took the precaution to send
around to the other bank to make sure
that the certifcation was no forgery.
Then he sent for the forger Now"

NoSTRILS.

Gov Hazen S. Pingree of Michigan
says he will probably hold his nos
trils and vote for Mckinley
The presumption is that there is
something in the political atmosphere
of the Republican party that is of
fensive to the sensitive Pingree olfac-
tories. There is little likelihood that
the Republican managers will send out
a smelling committee to locate the Cd
ors that are distasteful to Pingree.
Neither will they add to the expenses
OF the campaign by trying to deodor-
ize Pingree's surroundings. Even IL
a few gallons of violet water would
suffice to make things agreeable for
the fastidious Pingree, the one vote is
not worth the trouble of shipping it to
Lansing.
But a good many people who like
Pingree's p~ugnacity and originality
and who think he is a good thing to
have in politics will wonder why he
feels compelled to compress his smell
ing apparatus while supporting the
present national administration. They
know that under Mckinley the ma
tons finances have been placed upon
a sound N stable basis through the
enactment of a gold law. hat the
endless chain'-the fruitful source of
panics-has been destroyed, that bust
ness confidence has been restored, that
industry has beer revived and the OPP
portunities for labor vastly multipl ell,
that our commerce has been pushed in
to the remotest markets of the earth.
that Il army and navy have liber-
ated millions of people from the tyran-
ny of Spain. that American valor has
planted the flag at the gateway to the
Orient.
Do these things offend the delicate
nostrils of the inicky Pingree? Is 1t
because of these achievements that
Pingree must hold his nostrils when
he votes for Mckinley? Oh. no! The
trouble with the Pingree shutters
arises from the fact that his over
weenlng desire to be the BOSS in his
state has got him in bad odor'' with
his party. Mr.. Pingree had several pet
taxation measures for driving CAPT al
out of Michigan. He thought they
ought to be passed. The Republican
legislatures did not agree with him.
Being a man Of unusual vigor and very
fond of work, he thought he would
occupy his idle moments in retiring
Senators Burrows and Mcmillan from
public life. But the national admins
tration opposed him and the Repub-
lican legislatures did not agree with
him, and each was reelected to the
senate.
And SO Pingree finds himself out
side h b~reastworks.'' The odors are
e pleasant outside the breast
works. There is the smell of ~decaying
hopes and ambitions. No wonder Pin
gree holds his nostrils.
