Six Prisoners Break Away From
the County Jail at Benton
Thursday Night
MORGAN WAS IN SINGING MOOD
One Of Them a Murderer
Awaiting Trial--Al Are
Guilty Of Felonies.
fGreat Falls Tribune.

Attorney f. c. Park returned yes
terday from Fort Benton, where he
was attending district court, and re-
ported that six prisoners made their
escape from the county Jail at that
place late Thursday night. One after
ward gave himself up, but the other
five are still at liberty, with several
posses securing the country in all di-
rections.
The men who made their escape
from the jail are:
Antonio Lopez, charged with muir
der in the first degree. He is n Next
can five feet seven inches tall, peck
marked.
Thomas Morgan, colored, charged
with assault in the first degrre.
S. A. Ward, charged with forgery,
a Scotchman, large, lightcompIexion-
ed.
Charles Burns, charged with grand
larceny.
Mike Sharkey, convicted OF petit
larceny.
Eugene Tomlin, who had pleaded
guilty OF embezzlement.
Tomlin gave himself up afew hours
after the break was made.
1t appears that there were In the
jail II prisoners, there being, besides
those who escaped, three charged
with murder, two with robbery and
a sixth with a minor ofiense. There
r only two cages In the jail and the
six who escaped were all in one cage,
all other prisoners being in the other
cage. From Z until about 10 O'Clock
Thursday evening, the iailer noticed
that Morgan, the colored man, was
continually singing in a loud voice,
The jailer's attention was naturally
attracted by the singing, but he did
not consider 1t strange. About ii
O'Clock henotlced that the singing had
ceased, and he presumed that the pris
oners had retired for the night.
Atanearly hour yesterday morning
Tomlin, after circling the Helena hill
arrived at the depot, where the nigh
dispatcher recognized him. TomliI
told the dispatcher OF the jail deliv
cry, and the dispatcher at once tele
phoned to Sheriff Clary, who speedil!
investigated. and got out posses t,
search for the five missing men.
investigation showed that the prI
soners had broken the heavy latch OF
the door Of the cage. A heavy poke
is missing from the stove In the cor
ridor OF the jail, and 1t Is suppose,
that this poker was the principal i'm
plement used in effecting the escape
A hole, about II inches square, wa
bored through the brick wall at tn
rear OF the jail, and pieces OF clotl
upon the jagged bricks around tn
hole showed plainly that 1t was
tight squeeze for some OF the men.

THE DOLLAR.
History of Term That Has Become
Worldwide.

History of Term That Has Become
Worldwide.
Our word dollar dates back to 1885.
when a resolution was passed by con-
gress which provided that it should
be the unit of money of the United
States. Another resolution was passed
in 1885, August 5, providing that it
should weigh 1854 grains of pure sill
yer. The mint was established in 1892,
and then required to coin silver dollars
containing 371.25 grains of pure silver.
This was due to the influence of Alex
ander Hamilton. No dollars were
coined until 1894, and then irregular.
They are now worth $100 EACH In 1894
the coinage of regular dollars began.
Our coin was the adaptation of the
Spanish milled dollar, coin very pop
ular wherever the Spaniards travelled.
The coin was called "piastre." meaning
fiat piece of metal; it is synonymous
with plaster. 1t is supposed that the
Spanish took the German 'thaler" and
called it by the name of plaster" The
word dollar is entered in Bailey's Eng
lish Dictionary of 1745, and was used
repeatedly by Shakespeare at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century, es-
pecially in Macbeth, II: 2, 81: Till she
dlsbursed $4,000 to our general use,
and in Tempest" II: l, II. The ques-
ton where Shakespeare found the word
dollar is answered by the fact that the
Hanseatic towns maintained a great es-
| Enlistment called the Steel Yard in
London. The Steel Yard merchants
were mostly North Germans, who
would call tie German thaler as If il
spelled "dah-ler." The same merchants
originated the word sterling, an alb
5reviation of the word "esterling." As
the Hanseatic trade was particularly
| brisk on the Baltic and in Russia, the
| standard coins of the Hanse merchants
were called esterlings, and sterling
came to mean something genuine ant

English for thaler, the first of which
was coined about 1885, and correspond!

WOMEN wHo WEAR WELL.

1t is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life will make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliances vanish like the bloam from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint
echo Of the charming maiden. There
are two reasons for this cnange, ignor.
ance and neglect. Few young women
appreciate the shock to the system
through the change which comes with
marriage. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant drains which are often
consequent on marriage and motherhood
not understanding that this secret drain
is robbing the cheek of its freshness and
the form uf it's fairness. AS sure as the
general health suffers when there is de-
rangeMent of the health OF the delicate
womanly organs, so surely when these
organs are established in health the
face and form at once witness to the
fact in renewed comeliness. Half mil.
lion women and more have found health
and happiness in the use OF DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It makes weak
women strong and sick women well. II

Fortune In Blot of Ink.

An ink blot in the right place IS
worth $l15 600, according to deci-
sion made by Jury in Judge Balls
courtroom Saturday.
The case was one involving the
possession of the old McCatferv farm
at Seventy first street and Western
avenue. Montville w. Howard
brought suit to recover the property
claiming title under deed said to
have been given by McCstfery In
1898. The Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank contested the suit, claiming
that the deed was spurious.
Handwriting experts testified that
the signature on the instrument was
genuine, but that the body or the
deed had been eaten away ny chem
icals, and the description of the prop
erty altered after the signature. fhe
witnesses made it clear to the Jury
that the body of the instrument mad

Ancient MAJ iner" 0
The STACEY creature nrst attracted
attention as it beat imperceptibly
against the wind from the distant
horizon, travelling in great circles to-
ward the ship that it always had in
view, says the Cornhill. Who can
gauge the sight Of an a.batross? The
eyes can be focrsed at will TO pene-
trate incredible ranges, and a frag-
ment of food cast upon the waters will
rapidly allure 1t from distances far be-
yond the powers of human sight To
see the enormous bird thus circle
round the ship, with wings fully ex-
banded, though well-nigh motionless,
is certainly one of the wonders of ma
ture. The only muscular action Wis
IDLE is slight tremor at the extreme
points OF the wings, vibration so
rapid that 1t cannot be detected with
out the most careful observation.
There Is no suggestion Of force EN-"
ployed in the flight but simply that
movement which sailors understand
by the word cant-a fitting of the
body out of the plane-which serves to
give both power and direction in
space. In very calm weather there is
heavy Tapping of the wings, in
ratio, however, as the force Of the
wind increases, so muscular action
disappears until gale finds the alba
tross poised above the ship in midair
with an easy grace which is inexplic-
able. Lying upon my back on the
wheelbox, | have with glasses riveted
the eyes of such bird as it lowered
steadily above the mast OF the ship.
The green irides showed that curious
expansion and contraction which is
the special character of bird sight. Ex-
cept for faint tremor the wings
moved not from the horizontal posi-
ton; the feet we're tucked away be-
meath the tail, and an expression OF
gentle confidence gave the impression
OF friendly, sociable nature.
Dim ideas of Coleridge and 1.-THE
Ancient Mariner" fioated through my
mind as l gazed in silence; there was
an easy shot and the rife was close
at hand, but the murderous act wa:
not committed. The same albatros:
accompanied us for days; however the
wind might rage or the ship toss a
the mercy of the waves. it remained
in close attendance, conveying a sens
of perfect rest, though hardly, If ever
still. In this lies the great secret o
Its attraction, and the evoutions II

How Prima Donna Calve spensis the
Summer Months.
About Calves glorious succession OF
triumphs during recent years all the
world knows. We gasp at the small
fortune paid her each time she sings;
we watch her wonderful acting with
bated breath; we feel uplifted by ner
voice and presence. But not so much
is known of Calve, the woman-a topic
not whit less fascinating. Each
summer is spent at her chateau at
Cavriere, near Aveyron There is a
pretty romance connected with this
country seat, says the Woman's Home
Companion. When as girl she used
to walk past this place each day her
most darling dream was to some time
be rich enough to purchase it. After
success came the dream was realized.
Today she spends as much time as
possible there in company with her
parents and brothers and sisters.
To the village folks Calve is an ideal
Lady Bountiful. She visits the poor,
takes the sick all sorts of tempting
delicacies, interests herself in secur-
ing positions for the unemployed. The
village children fairly worship her.
Calve loves children. She will sit for
hours on the lawn under the big trees
surrounded by group of admiring
children, telling them strange tales OF
what she has seen and heard in for
eign lands, or relating legends of long
ago. Cats are Calves pets among ami
mails. She finds them the most inde-
pendent and coquettish of created
things, and full of occult influence,
She does not care at all for jewelry.
Wild verbena is her perfume, carna-
ton her flower, autumn her season
Ophelia her favorite role.
