A TEST THAT MEANS SOMETHING

The Freie Presse of Lincoln, Neb.,
one of the most influential German
American newspapers in the country,
and one widely read over the Middle
West, has been taking a poll of its
readers, and furnishes these totals:
For Bryan, $780, for Mckinley, 3.106;
for Debs SO; for Barker, 5; won't
vote" IA. The poll was not confined
to Nebraska by any means, but en-
braced the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Da-
kota and wisconsin, and the test is,
therefore, fair one. 1t should also
be noted that while the Presse has
been charged with having been
bought up in the interests of the Re-
publicans, its editor, Mr.. Hermann,
insists that his paper is absolutely in
dependent in politics. The test thus
made is regarded as a very significant
one, and properly so.

If there was another month of the
political campaign the New York Sun
would probably conclude its series OF
criminal charges against Mr.. Bryan.
Daily that non-union paper, published
in a dngy and rat infested brick
barracks, vomits forth abuse and vitu-
peration against the candidate of the
Democratic ticket, and it's accusations
have become monotonous. big Six
is after the New York Sun, be it re-
membered, and coincidently after the
Republican national ticket. big Six
is the New York Typographical union.

The report comes from Chicago
that the Republicans are badly fright
ened about Illinois, while from the
East comes the same news regarding
New York State. They have ceased
to be alarmed about Indiana, for that
State has been given up to Mr.. Bryan.
The solemn fact is, the G. o. p is in
very bad shape, there being the assur-
ance that there will be solid streak
of Democracy right across the country
from Nebraska and Missouri to New
Jersey.

When Traced TO Mldd|ebury
Swamp They Resisted and
Frank Shaw Was Wounded

Middlebury. VT. May s.-Dustin Shaw
and his son Frank, who escaped from
Woodstock Jail on April 23, and who for
the past ten days have been bounded

Central Vermont by armed officers and
citizens numbering between 200 and 300
at various times, and who in course of
their flight killed Deputy Sheriff Hoff-
man of Windsor County last Friday.
were captured in a swamp about four
miles from Middlebury at noon today.
They resisted the approach OF officers
and citizens with Winchesters and
fourteen or fifteen shots were exchang-
ed when Frank Shaw fell with two bull
let wounds In his body and his father
surrendered. The young man was Sc
riously wounded Both were very weak
from lack OF food and exhaustion.
Apparently they were not displeased
at the prospect of being quartered In
Jail. AS soon as possible the prisoners
Were brought TO this town and placed
in the Jail here. No one in the search
ing party was injured by the shots ex-
changed with the two men. The Shaws
had been tracked TO the swamp by
searchers who started from Middlebury
early this morning upon receiving
news that the men had stopped at q
farm house a few miles from Middle
bury TO obtain food at about two
o'clock a. IN. The trail led TO the east
and northwest through the woods and
ended In Middlebury swamp, about
two miles from where IL started. The
fugitives apparently were taken by sur
prise. but were prepared TO make good
resistance.
The capture causes much satisfaction
among those who have persisted i'm the
chase, day and night. since early last
week. News that the Shaws had been
taken aroused great excitement in the
town, and hundreds OF people witnessed
the arrival OF the officers with their
prisoners and followed them 10 the Jail.
