only guide to pocket.
Second-Never dig a hole on
quartz ledge with the expectation
of finding a pocket unless it will
prospect at the start.
Third-When tracing for
pocket, if the gold is smooth,
leave it at once, for it's ten to
one you will never find it.
Fourth-If your trace runs to
a deep bed of clay, don't loose
much time in looking for pocket.
Fifth-Beware of serpentine
traces. Most all will prospect and
not pocket.
Sixth Remember fifteen or
twenty colo rs of gold as fine as
flour to the pan, and occasional
coarse colors as big as pinhead,
is better trace to a pocket than
a single piece of gold worth 81,
even if it's rough.
Seventh-The best place to
look for pocket ledges do not crop
out near the pockets are larger
and as easily found.
Eighth -Recollect that nine
out of ten pockets lodges do not
crop out near the pocket.
Tracing-Comnence by pam

A BIG Man QUITS
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

the WELSH argo Express Co.,
makes strong plea for Bryan,
his country and humanity. He
uses McKinley's own words to
convict him of imperialistic ten
denotes. In his letter of accept
ance Mr.. Mckinley said: "The
Philippines are ours, and there
will be no abatement of our
rights; no policy of scuttle," etc.
This Mr.. Valentine calls con-
firmed imperialism, with an inn
piled determination on the part
to the administration to saddle it
on the American people by ballot
in the November election. Mr..
Valentine has always been a re-
publican and voted for President
Mckinley in 1896, but, unlike
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,
who sees clearly that his party is
wrong, but says he has been
republican so long that he cannot
now change; Mr.. Valentine has
declared his intention to vote for
Bryan for president. In letter
published in the Boston Herald,
July 23rd, Senator Hoar professed
hope that Mckinley or the repub-
lican party would experience a
change of heart in its policy of
criminal aggression" yet he
feels that he must change his
principles to conform to the will
of his party, believing it to be
wrong, rather than stand on his
own convictions and vote for the
right.
In defining his position the
Wells-Fargo president says:
''My comment upon the foreign
policy of Mckinley and the re-
publican party is materially en-
bodied in the following words
from Benjamin Franklin, in 1776:
Retaining a trade is not an
object for which nations may
justly spill each others blood;
the true means for securing COM
mcrce is the goodness and cheap
ness of commodities; and the prof
it of no trade can ever be equal to
; the expense of compelling it by
fleets and armies"
But there is one-a greater than
Franklin-whosc admonition is ir-
revocable, and strikes at the very
root of the matter:
"And he spoke parable unto
them, saying, 'the ground of a
certain rich man brought forth
PLENTIFUL and he reasoned with
I in himself, saying, What shall l
do, because l have not where to
bestow my fruits?' And he said,
This will | do: I will pull down
c my barns, and build greater; and
u there will l bestow all my corn
{ and my goods, And / will say to
l. my soul, Soul, thou hast much
goods laid up for many years
II take thine ease, eat, drink, and
S be merry But God said unto
Il him, Thou foolish one, thi:
e night is thy soul required of thee
! and the things which thou has
c prepared, whose shall they be-?
S And this recalls to my mind:
Make not the vanishing thy
ii friend,
Nor the permanent thy TOOL
II How far and wide we hav'
: strayed from the true principle
{ of democratic Republican simple
s. ity may be judged from the hap
II penings of the past three years
c Only ten years ago Mr.. William
II Mckinley said:
&c Human rights and constitu
. tional privileges must not be fol-
's gotten in the race for wealth an
II commercial supremacy. The go,
3 ernment of the people must be b
the people and not by a few c
IL the people; it must rest upon til

ESCAPED FROM STATE PRISON.

cape from Anamosa.

George Wrand Makes Sensational s-
cape from Anamosn.
Anainosa. April 3o.A sensational es-
cape was made from the Anamosa peni-
Tertiary some time between 12 and 1
O'clock Friday morning. George Wrand,
who was doing six-year term for
burglary, made his way from the dyna-
mo room into the prison yard and in
some manner scaled the walls. All eff
forts up to the present time to capture
him have been futile. Wrand was a
rusty about the place and had been
working in the electrical department.
The cleo trician had placed the prisoner
on his honor. saying that as yet he had
never lost a man under him, and in view
of the fact that he was a bout to sever
his connections with the prison. he
hoped to be able to continue his good
record. The officials discovered Satur-
day that Wrand had contemplated max
ing his escape for some time. He had
prepared a bunch of skeleton keys and
tried them in the doors. Friday night
Wrand made another effort to get the
keys perfected. and in so doing broke
one of them in the lock He reasoned
that as soon as the fact became known
to the officials he would lose his job in
the dyanno room and be placed in the
stone shed, where all opportunity for
escape would be cut off. 1t was go t/sn
or serve his full time, which would In
clude about eight months Of good time
that was credited to him. While the
guard was absent he filed bar from the
door and escaped.

SERVED MANY Years
Cornelius Moelchen Released From
the Penitsntiary After Serving
twenty-five Years
Was Convicted Of Killing His Uncle
to Secure ! Large In
heritance.
Now Some Doubt as to His Guilt
tory Of the Crime He
Committed.

Anamosa, April S0.-After twenty
two years confinement within the walls
of the penitentiary at this place, Cor
nelius Moelchen is once more enjoying
the airsof freedom. The case of Moel-
chen is entirely without parallel in
the annals of Iowa criminal affairs.
In the year 1877 Cornelius Moelchen
arrived in America from Germany and
came directly to Dubuque county, this
state, where he took up his residence
with an only relative. an uncleJo ohm
Moelchen by ma me-who was supposed
to be possessed OF more than the aver
age of this worlds goods. The elder
Moelchen was bachelor and young
Cornelius was his heir at law. Shortly
after the arrival OF Cornelius at the
home of his uncle the latter was found
with his skull crushed and life extinct,
the body being found suspended from
the stirrup of a saddle girth tosa horse
which he had ridden away from home
only a short time previous. The first
Impression was that the unfortunate
man had lost his life thru runaway
accident but the coroner's investiga-
lStion revealed the strange fact that the
dead man when found had his left foot
in the right stirrup.
Other circumstances gradually devel-
oped which led to the conclusion that
a murder had been committed and sus-
picion was directed to young Moelchen,
He was found guiltysof murder in the
first degree and in the spring OF the
year 1878 was committed to the Ana
most penitentiary for the remainder OF
his natural life. Asa prisoner his con-
duct was most exemplary.
Finally, during the session Of the
last Legislature both branches OF the
assembly requested the governor 10
grant Moelchen executive clenency.
And now, after twenty-five years of
seryitude. in the evening of his life,
With his hair silvered, a stranger to the
ways of the world, and prematurely
old. Moelchen is free man.
Immediately upon receiving his dis
charge Moelchen took the train for
