PocateI.o Jail Delivery

hV~@S~a.O ss4@A A~hANGhy af
Three prisoners from the county
Jail made good their escape early
Monday morning. The last seen of
them by the officers was Sunday
night about ten o'clock when
Deputy Griffith took look around.
AT that time they were peacefully
playing cards and giving no more
evidence of a desire for freedom
than the people on the outside of a
desire to break in. But sometime
or other they secured some kind of
saw, ofsomething made into a saw,
and sawed off four bars of the inner
cage, two vertical and two horizont-
al, taking them off at both ends.
Once out in the corridor they sought
entrance into the dark cell. This
they accomplished by bending and
springing the iron door all out of
shape. On the inside of the dark
cell, they expected to gain liberty
by picking a hole through the brick
wall, but they gave this up as bad
job and returned to the corridor and
sawed off all iron bar at the window.
They only got through one end of
this, and bent it up out Of the way.
There is an iron door at this win
dow which they had to go through
before they could gain their liberty
1t was locked by yale lock from
the outside. The lock to this door
was found broken. The officers
take this as All indication that the
prisoners had assistance from the
outside, as the lock could only have
been broken from that side.
The men who escaped are Rogers
the man held for stabbing Charley
Hopper a few weeks ago, the mar
Farley. who was shot by the JaI
while the former was attempting to
break into the Burbank lodging
house, and Burns, caught by Chic
of Police McGarvey and Depot
Police Ross breaking into caboos'
in the yards here.
There were five more prisoners il
the jail but only these three es
caped.--Advance.

AROUND TIE COUNTY.

According to the Cotton News letter
the hog market is lively there, and
farmers with good fat porkers easily get
5 cents pound on foot for them. John
l.. Flowers is buying up hogs for the
Seattle market. He expects to ship a
carload a week from now on. !. +
Schlee shipped two cars last week to
Seattle.
Cotton News Letter: James Conway
is shipping horses from this point at q
great rate. Another carload left Satur-
day morning, fine draft horses, and he
expects to return Immediately for more.
City Marshal Barbee of Pullman has
resigned and is succeeded by j. B. Holt.
The Pullman city council has placed
saloon licenses at $500. The applica-
tion of Fl. B. Royce for a license was
unanimously refused. An affidavit was
filed by E. A. Cobleigh, college student,
who declared that be is but 10 years
old, but he had purchased and drank
liquor at Royces house. Royce says
the young man declared to him that
ne was of age, and that be would be put
"where the dogs won't bite him. for his
deceit.
Colfax Mentor: 1t is hoped that the
coming generation OF young people will
drop the words "awful' and lawfully"
almost altogether from their vocabu-
larry. With great many present-day
people, especially young women, these
words are sadly Overworked. They are
applied to every kind of object. A young
man is lawfully nice," a friend is
lawfully kind" boquet is lawfully
lovely" Is it not time that this word
be allowed to retire, or at least that it
be reserved for the very few occasions
when it may be properly used? No
doubt the reason for it's frequent use is
the desire to be emphatic, to make ex-
pressions strong. But really it is better
to use the plain, simple words which de-
scribe our feeling or emotion without
attempting to add color, especially by
using a word so unfit.

Treatment For Sprafns.

The prevalence of SprainS and strains
owing to the indulgence in athletic
exercises of all kinds moves an au-
thOrity on the treatment Of these pain
full accidents to say:
A little common sense treatment is
often all that is needed when the strain
IS at ankle or wrist and without com
plications. 1t will swell very alarming
ly at first and gradually develop a
frightful looking bruise, but from the
first it should have complete rest and
a treatment of hot and cold dOuches,
the hot being used at first, when the
swelling is painful, and the cold later
on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed
muscles. The hot must be very hot
and the cold very cold, as the tepid
water does harm rather than good.
For the first day of strain, when
all the wrenched cartilages and mus
cles are aching, great relief is found in
a pOultice of egg and salt. To make it,
beat the white of an egg till light, but
not stiff Stir in gradually a cup and
a half of salt, or more if needed, to
make thick, paStellke icing. Spread
this on cloth and bandage in place.
Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath
towel to protect the sheets, since the
egg leaks out continually. After this
has relieved the soreness begin with
hot water lamentations and wear a
light, firm bandage, except at night.

FUNSTON WAS TOLD
A Florida Lieutenant Put Him
On AguinaldO's Trail.
With Few Cigars and a Little
Diplomacy He Learned the
Hiding Place.

New York, April IA special to the
World from Lake City, Fla, says:
d ID. Taylor, a prominent citizen of
this city, has received a letter from his
son, Lieutenant James d. Taylor, Jr., OF
the Twenty fourth United States infan-
try, which shows that the young man.

OF tact way the lieutenant tells his father
about bis clever exploit and of General

all kinds OF lies. told them they we're
tired and no doubt wanted to see their
families, so after signing the oath of
allegiance they could go home and re-
port the next morning ready to tell the
truth.
The next morning they came in lit
tie more at ease and told different tale.
BY questioning found they had con-
cealed some letters in the woods and
went right out and got them. After
reading their letters | found they had
not told the whole truth and began

The Whirl of Fashion,

There are few striking novelties in the
display of either fashions or fabrics for
the coming spring and early summer.
Black and black and white effects are
to be quite as dominant as ever in the
spring fashions, and certainly nothing
can be much more useful or appropriate
for a greater variety of purposes.
The variety in embroidered silk hosiery
is beyond detailed description, but one of
the special novelties shows an eagle en-
broidered in yellow silk, while another is
dotted over the front with single violets.
One of the pretty new fancy waists is
made of white chiffon over white silk and
partially covered by bolero and short
upper sleeve of Irish lace The belt and
collar band are formed Of silver braid
and black taffeta ribbon
The soft, glossy silk called feur de
oie-uncommonly durable for silk, close
ly woven, light in weight and delightful
to the touch-is much used for tucked
and plated fancy waists, dancing dress
es, tea gowns, blouse vests and dress
trimmings of various kinds.
The best gowned woman is ever the
woman who selects what most exactly
suits her individually. This is the gold
en- rule of well dressing, the followers of
which never make any serious mistake in
the important solution of the old but ever
new question, "Wherewithal shall ye be
clothedP'
Plaitings and tuckings of every width,
length and style, in inserted fan clusters,
in vertical rows stitched a portion of
their length in crossing diamond and
trellis forms and in many odd modes of
adjustment both on skirt and bodice, will
be as much in vogue on summer gowns
as though the season of 1901 were the in
itial one of their favor.

THAT AWFUL BOER WAR.
Pretoria Correspondent of London
Paper Says They Won't Quit.

London, April 8-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Morning Post warns
his countrymen against hoping for an
earlv termination of hostilities or be-
llevlng the stories that the Beers are
tired of war. He says:
1t becomes daily more evident that
the Beers intend to fight to a finish
Many are surrendering, but they are
men OF no standing. The real fighting
men are still IN commandos, and al
though recently successful British opera-
tlons tend to bring the end nearer it is
evident that the Beers must be com
pletely crushed before a general sur-
render is probable
1t Is rumored that Acting President
Schalkberger has removed the seat of
government to Lydesdorp.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Hilvoisum, Mr.. Kruger, who
has just arrived there, has expressed an
intention to 60 to the United States in
June and visit Washington, Boston and
Chicago.
1T is definitely ascertained," saws a
dispatch to the Times from Kroonsta1t.

and Botha met at Vreide."
Lord Kitchener has informed the war
office that eight volunteer companies.
freed by reliefs, are coming home and
that arrangements are in progress for
the speedy relief of further companies.
He thus appears to be endeavoring to
meet the demand that fresh troops be
sent to the front to replace the stale
men.

Daily Express reports wholesale arrests
for treason in Graaf Reinet and Aber-
deem.
How the War Goes.
Babington's force, including Shekle-
tons column, attacked DeIarey, 1900
strong, southwest of Ventersdorp, and
having defeated him, followed him up
rapidly, with the result that the Boer
rear guard was driven in and their con-
voy captured, including the guns CAP
tured at Vaalsbank "Our troops dis
played great gallantry and dash, They
captured two Is FOUNDER guns and one
pompon, six Maxims, 800 rounds of big
ammunition, $4,000 rounds of small
ammunition, 1853 rifles, 50 wagons
and "a carts, besides taking 40 pris-
oners. Our losses we're light. Many
Beers were killed or wounded"

GIGANTIC RAILROAD COMBINE.
RumOrs Made and Denied That 1t
Will Be Perfected.

New York, April 5.-Reports that
huge railroad combinations are in pro-
cess OF formation we're widely circulated
here today. Detailed statements con-
cerning the plan already published, look
ing to the combination OF all the great
railway systems of the United States
under the control of the company, we're
given, but as a general thing prominent
railroad officials and bankers declined
to discuss the matter. According to all
accounts the enterprise involved the
greatest combination Of capital known
in the history of finance 1t was said
the company would be formed under the
laws of New Jersey for the purpose Of
conducting a general freight and trans
DOrtatiOn business throughout the
United States; that the company would
hold a controlling interest in all the
great railway systems and that the
management OF the roads would be
vested in the controlling company.
According to the proposition each
| road would preserve it's identity and
corporate existence, but the new COM
pany would control the affairs of all.
By this policy, it was asserted, large
sums Of money could be saved as a re-
suit of economies in management and

Discussing the reported amalgama-
ton of the railroad interests OF the
country, the New York Press will say
tomorrow:
"AlI that is aimed at, according to
the best authority obtainable, is a

nation on a community of interest
basis was frat brought about through
the efforts OF J. PierpOnt Morgan. As
result of this close union of interest
ruinous rate wars are already at an end,
not so many high priced officials are
needed as before and one can buy a
ticket on any trunk line in almost any
one of the large offices in the city. How
ever, that a single company will be
formed under the New Jersey laws to
take over all the railroads of the coun-
try is not considered seriously by well
informed railway men,"

CHINESE HUNTING HOME.
TOO Many Troops, American and
European, Are There.

Pekin, April 7.-Mr. ROckhill, United
States special commissioner to PekiD.
had long Interview yesterday with Lii
Hung Chang, who satisfied him that
there is not likely to be any further i'm
pOrtant hitch in the negotiations for q
settlement between China and the DOW
ers. China has agreed to the list of
punishments submitted by the ministers
OF the powers, making only one cOnces-
sion, namely-deprivatiO of office, in
stead of banishment in the case of a man
who is 70 years of age To this the
ministers have agreed. Lii Hung Chang
says the court is extremely anxious to
return to Pekin as soon as the foreign
troops evacuate the capital.
Some of the ministers of the powers
begin to think that SO large a force as
1000 troops acting as legation guards
in the city proper would be a great mis-
take. Such body would have to re-
main IN space of one square mile The
troops could not be allowed outside the
legation quarter armed, and it would
probably not be safe for them to go un-
armed
1t is thought by some of the ministers
that If the encampment we're made from
II to l5 miles away with the necessary
stores this arrangement would be pre-
ferable, as a telegram could bring the
troops into the city Immediately. More
over, several ministers have been in
suited by troops of other natiOnalities
Mr.. Rockhill and Sir Ernest Mason Sa-
tow, the British minister, were returning
from dinner in chairs, when the chairs
were stopped by German soldiers who
proceeded to beat the bearers. The
ladies OF the party we're greatly fright
ened. The ministers generally fear that
the presence in Pekin of considerable
force OF troops of various nationalities
might be a source of International
friction. They are not entirely pleased
with the military proposals of the gen
erals, as they fail to see the necessity for
the demolition of all forts.
We Don't Know.
Washington, April THE admins.
tratiOn is perplexed over a cable dis
patch received from Mr.. Squires, now in
charge of the American legation at Pc
kin. This dispatch, according to a pub
licatlon today, said that the Russian
minister refuses to receive official COM
municatiOn from Chinese ministers, which
carried the inference that diplomatic re-
latlOns between the two countries inter
ested would be broken off. The officials
are very reticent about the matter and
decline to affirm or deny whether it is
correctly stated. They will go only So
far as to admit the receipt of dispatch,
whose purpOrt was not clearly under
stood, for which reason it was not given
to the press for publication.
Another cablegram which reached here
today from Mr.. Rockhill, the special
commissioner OF the United States. had
| no reference to the alleged refusal of the
Russians to receive official communica-
tions from the Chinese commissioners.
| As Mr.. Rockhill is in a position to know
promptly what develops between the
ministers and the peace commissioners,
it is believed be would be prompt to re-
port step of such far reaching import
ance as the published dispatch from Mr..
| Squires would indicate.
