Washington fought in the earlier stru8-

the highest renown alike as soldier and
statesman. In the second and even great-
er struggle, the deeds OF Lincoln The
statesman were made good by those OF
Grant the soldier. and later Grant himself
took up the work that dropped from Lin
coins tired hands when the assassin's
bullet went home and the sad, patient
kindly eyes were closed forever.

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT

Greatness Was No Accident,
but Natural.

Galena, H., April 27.-General U. S.
Grants birthday was observed here today
with Governor Theodore Roosevelt oG
New York as the principal speaker.
Special trains were run by the railroads,
and the announcement that the famous
governor of the Empire State was to be

OF the deceased general. Nearly every

had many public men of the first rank -
soldiers, orators constructive statesmen
and popular leaders. We have also had
great philosophers who were also leaders
of popular thought. Each one OF these
men has had his own group OF devoted

have taken their place among the great

sumo apprehension Among the hnlt-

The heavy rains of yesterday have again
made Houston railroad men apprehensiye
of damage to their lines. The rain o.
yesterday appears to have been general
over Texas The Houston and Texas
Central had reports from several stations
along its line between Houston and Deni-
lson where the rain was very heavy.
and the Katy had similar reports from
stations between Houston and Waco.
While no bad effects from high water have
yet been reported, sufficient time has not
elapsed for the larger streams so rise.
damage is especially apprehended on the
Brazos ana Colorado rivers. the former OF
which is already nearly bank full.
In connection with the high water In
Texas, the International and Great North
ern announces that 1t will haul cotton
seed free of charge between points on its
line for farmers whose crops have been
destroyed by high water or excessive
rains, and that all farmers who have been
so damaged and are not able to pay freight
on seed may take advantage OF the offer.
AS result of the heavy rains the San
Antenio and Arkansas Pass passenger train
due here from SAL ip>n---9-4~-.--- .
terday evening was several hours late.
Tho specific cause Of the delay was not
made known.
Nearly all trains on the through lines
entering Houston have been temporarily
abandoned-some on account of the high
water and others on account Of wash
outs.
Sixty feet OF the Southern Pacific bridge
across the Colorado river at Columbus
is gone; the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass has bridge gone, supposed to be at
Altar; the Santa Fes main line suffered
from washouts; the Missouri. Kansas and

TRIED no BREAK JAIL.
Two County Prisoners Make an At
tempt to Regain Their Liberty

A cunning attempt to escape from
the county jail was made yesterday,
but Jailer Young proved too much for
them and the men are now langulsh-
ing in dark cells just Off the right
corridor,
That the men were determined to
even commit murder in order that
their plans might be successfully car
ried out was made apparent in the
discovery of an improvised slung-shot
which was discovered hidden in pile
of papers lying on shelf in the Jail.
The prisoners involved in the affair
are Charles Wylle, who Is awaiting
trial for forgery. and Louis Newman,
who is being held on charge of grand
larceny, committed while employed on
the 0. r. & n. tug Wallula.
The attempt TO escape was discover
ed by Jailer Young yesterday while
he was serving the pair their regular
ratlons At the further end Of the cor
ridor the jailer noticed a couple OF
buckets and chains placed on the floor
with unusual care as to arrangement
and Immediately went over to make
an examination. He found that a hole
large enough to admit mans body
had been cut through the cement floor
ing and that several rocks had already
been removed from the super-structure.
All that remained to be done to estab-
lish an opening between the pail and
freedom was to cut an opening through
the outer wall which forms part Of the
foundation.
Jailer Young Immediately proceeded
to secure the prisoners In the dark
cells and then reported his discovery
to Sheriff Linville,
When questioned as TO how long they
had been engaged in the plot the prison
ers stated that the work Of excava-

body recognizes that something must
be done TO preserve this great industry
Of oars. and Mr.. Wise does not wait
for somebody else to take the lead. He
offers to donate a percentage OF all his
cash sales during the month OF August
for the good OF the cause. and TO place
the money in the hands OF the Fisher
mems Union. In addition he offers to
work with his customary energy with
the members Of the legislature, and all
know how Wise works when he gets
started. II is still remembered how
he started out 70 raise subsidy when
the fishermen first talked OF organic

always worked for the good Of the city,

enterprises.

lous criminals there n little question
that they would have completed the
Job and gained their liberty with a
few more hours had their operations
not been discovered.
Wylle was arrested several months
ago on three charges of forgery pre-
ferred By 9. G. Mastln. the well-knOwn
rancher NJ Svensen. Wylle worked for
Mastln for a short time. and when q
settlement was made he had balance
Of S2.0i due him. The payment was
made by check and when Wylie reached
Astoria he Immediately proceeded 20
raise the amount 10 t50.0f. Not con-
tent with this he forged two checks on
the same indiyldual--One for S72 and
another for $50. During his incarcera-
tion pending trial. Wylie has been a
most exemplary prisoner. He had con-
formed most willingly 70 all the regu-
latlons OF the jail and never evinced
the slightest hesitancy 70 perform

learned that this same docile Wylie
has served three terms in the penlten-
tlary at Salem. having been convicted
each time on charge Of forgery.
