drain county.

The petition asking for the pardon
contained the names of the u jurors
who convicted Donnelly and over 1900
other residents Of Audrain county.
Donnelly, who was a man of good
impulses, was in 1894, and about a year
after the crime with which he was
charged with committing, convicted of
murder and sentenced to be hanged
on Dec. IA, 1894. Later his sentence
was commuted to so years in the
penitentiary. For six years he has
lived within the grim walls Of the
prison at jefferson City and for nearly
as long have his friends in this city
been trying to secure a pardon for
him. They have succeeded and no one
knows how the heart of Mrs. Donnel-
ly, mother Of the pardOned man,
swells with gratitude toward her God
and towards those who were instru-
mental in showing Gov. Stephens that
Joe Donnelly was deserving Of pardon

JAN PRISONERS ESCAPE.
County Guests Tire Of Being in
DURANGO Vile and Saw Their
Way to Liberty-Spencer
Did Not 60.

The one-act drama entitled
Through Paper Walls" was given
another rehearsal at the county bas-
tile at Promenade street and Clark
avenue at LOO O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing. The rehearsal was most realistic
so full OF realism was it that five
county prisoners are at liberty and
probably will be for some time to
come.
At the hour mentioned five Of the
Zen prisoners confined in the county
1aili sawed their way through the
heavy steel bars Of the cage in the
jail and kicking a hole through the
fiimsy outer wall Of brick they were
at liberty. One Of them, Ed Riley,
held on a charge Of petty larceny, got
hungry about 8 O'Clock this morning
and returned to the Jail building for
his breakfast; he is there yet. The
prisoners at large are:
VIM. Douglass, cclored, awaiting
action Of the Grand Jury on the
charge Of attempt to kill.
G. L. Cough, sentenced TO two
years in the %penitentiary for hog
stealing.
Collins and Oldham, awaiting the
action Of the grand jury on the
charge Of HOUSEKEEPING. )
The other prisoners, including Ed
Spencer, under sentence Of ten years
in the penitentiary for killing Ben
Eddleman at Vandalia last winter,
made no attempt to escape.
The men effected their escape by
cutting through the west wall Of the
steel cage and then through the brick
wall Of the jail.
According to the story of Ed Riley,
the returned prisoner, the two tramps,
Collins and Oldham, did the work of
cutting the quarter-inch steel of the
cages with small saws, which they had
kept concealed in their neckties.
The escape was not discovered until
l. O'Clock this morning when Sheriff
Nelson went to give the prisoners
their breakfast. There is no clue as
to their whereabouts, and is is proba-
BILE that they went out on a night
train. This is the second jail-break-
ing here in six months.
Sheriff Nelson and his deputies are
doing all possible to exemplify the
truth Of the LEDeER'st tried and true
saving: "Thev all come back.n

THE BAPTIST MEETING.
The Interest Continues The Evan
gelist Says Speak Well
of Christ"

The interest In the revival meet
ings at the Baptist church seems to
be undated. There was a good
sized attendance at the three O'Clock
services Tuesday. The evangelist
spoke on bringing the lost to Christ.
The text was: "And He Brought Him
to Jesus" On the subject Mr.. Will
liams said: ''No One can tell how
much it meant to the cause of Christ
when Peters brother went out and
led him to the Savior. 1t was a simple
thing, yet it meant more than this
world will ever know. The first thing
for Christian workers to do in seeking
the lost is TO speak we'll of Christ.
When a doctor succeeds in saving
someone from a disease the saved one
praises the doctor and does all he can
to help others to come to him for a
cure. The next way to lead sinners
to Christ is for Christians to live
right. A consecrated life is a great
power for Jesus. There isnot much in
a long, sad face to helpany n in this
world, A good, hearty laugh is a
better sign Of a pure heart than a sour
face. Christ expects his people to be
happy and cheerful. No one can get
a lost sinner to Christ who is prayer
less. Prayer brings close to God.
1t gives power. No one can have
power with men In matters of saliva
tion who has not power Of God. At
the close one young woman came for
ward and confessed that she wanted
to live for Christ.
The night services were Of great
interest. The sermon was on the
text; Come to Christ for Rest" 1t
was shown that this world was in a
restless state. 'In politics, in bust
ness, in religion, in the churches, in
the home and in society there is great
unrest said the preacher. ''There
is not anything that is settled or at
rest in this world. 1t is only in Jesus
that rest can be found. Christ invites
all the wearied and heavy laden to
come to Him for rest.'' There were
two additions to the church.
