SHOT THREE TIMES
 ABOUT BoARD BILL
Bud Adams Wounded by Robert Le- noir and Will Probably
 Die

Robert Lenoir, a negro, shot Bud Ad- ams, another negro, three times yester- day afternoon at Avondale with 3S-cali- bre Smith and Wesson pistol. Adams was shot once through the right arm near the wrist. once through the neck and the third time through the lungs. The latter shot will probably prove fatal
 The shouting occurred near the corner of Fourth avenue and Spring street. Le- noir was captured by Robert Summer and brought to the Jefferson county jail by Marshal Johi. Ellard of Avondale. The fight seemingly was over board bill which Adams claimed Lenoir owed him. Adams is said to have been drunk and to have used very bad language.

POLICE ARE
 ON THE WATCH

Chief of Police Austin has issued or ders to his men to be more watchful to- night on account of the escape. It Is thought many of them will be landed be- fore tomorrow night.
 The flremen in the engine mouse say 1t Is strange they did not hear the noise made in digging through the walls, but they attribute the fact to the back door being open.
 It was impossible last night to obtain a list of the prisoners who escaped, as the warden said he had not compiled the Hat

ESCAPE DISCOVERED
 ABOUT FOUR O'CLOCK.

The escape was discovered about 4 o'clock by MT. Coleman, who has charge of the street cleaning gang at night. He brought his gang back to the jail about 4 o'clock and until that time there had been no cause for the guards to go into the room where the prisoners are kept. Thus the delivery had escaped their notice. When Mr. Coleman went into the room he noticed a illumination in the number of prisoners and an investigation followed, showing shortage in accounts of thirty-nine. It took no expert to dis cover the place where the accounts ran short, the two foot hole telling the tale. Early this morning the warden sent out of the escapes they could. They got five hanging around the railroad yards vestigate a rumor mat some of them had been seen there.
 There were fully hundred in the jail at the time of the delivery and had the street gang failed to show up on time it is probable few would have been left at daylight.
 Efforts are being made to catch all those who escaped and the warden be- lieves that he will have them all back before next Sunday night. He says that all of them are frequent visitors and that they would rather pay him a visit than to stay at home. He expects to get part of them for new offenses and part of them he will recapture.

WALL IS JADE
 OF SOFT BRICK.

The wall through which the prisoners dug is about sixteen inches thick and is made of soft brick and, as the warden says, is an easy mark for an enterpris- ing man. The hole was made under a window on the northwest side of the building just back of fire engine house No 2, which is next to the jail building The hole is about two feet square, and evidently it took about three hours to dig 1t. The prisoners are believed to have used pocket knives, as any heavier tools would have been taken from them by the guards who search them at night
 The prisoners who had on the shackels went to the car barn on Fifteenth street and broke off the iron weights with an axe found there, leaving the badges Of shame as evidence of their visit.

BEEsMAx AS CURRENCY.

It will surprise many people to learn that in almost every part of the United States there is something that mer- chants regard just as good as the cold cash. That something seems common place. for 1t Is nothing more than bees wax. But 1t Is only in one branch of trade that beesWax is current, and that this one the average person would least suppose-the hardware line. The req son why hardware stores handle bees wax was explained the other day by a prominent wholesale dealer It ap- pears that all through the south, as well as in other parts of the country, the tin peddlers swap their wares for beeswax, which they get very cheap.
 They make nice profit on their tin ware in the trade, and they also get 9 profit on the beeswax when they turn 1t over to the retailers in hardware. The beeswax passes from them to the wholesale men in the cities and they ship 1t in barrels to New York, Wholesale hardware dealers often re- ceive notices from customers that they

WILD RICE.


 In early days the extension of the fur trade in territory unsurpassed for richness in pelts was actually made practicable by the wild rice, which furnished a wholesome support for traders and hunters. Pike, the explor- CT, in 1895, described the fort of the mort Invest company at Leech Lake as stored with large quantities of the grain, five hundred bushels of which were put away in q loft over the trad ing room. Employes of the company depended on it chiefly for food, buying it from the savages at the average price of about $1.50 a bushel.
 At the present time white people in the neighborhood of all the reservations in Wisconsin and Minnesota are very fond of wild rice, which is commonly offered for sale in the towns. Charles c. Oppel, produce dealer of Duluth, states that he handles from one to two tons of 1t every season. Most of the cruisers, explorers and homesteaders take it out into the woods with them," he says, land they claim that it does not take so long to prepare" It is largely consumed in lumber camps in the region where it grows.-Pearson' s Magazine.

4 SIR.4 \ c ' UT.

A member of a New York firm has asked the courts for a dissolution of partnership because his partner has neglected business to attend baseball games.
 This is queer work, and probably the accused partner will have something to say in defence of his alleged neglect. He may argue that he has not neglected business in attending ball games He may say that he has increased his effi- ciency in business by spending his af- ternoons in watching the greatest and best game on earth, and that by so spending his afternoons he has been able to do twice as much forenoons as he would if he had stayed away from the games. He may also mention the duty that rests upon a good United States man to encourage the national game by attendance and roofing" He may further hint that the business man who breathes with a soul so dead that he is contented to stay in the store when a ball game is going on isn't an up to date business man. And he can still further say that the good and en- terprising men whom he was in the habit of meeting at the games were of great help to him in business way by giving him ideas and stirring him up generally.
 It will be rather painful if this New York man succeeds in getting rid of his partner because the partner is baseball enthusiast. That is very diff ferent thing from being a chump or an anarchist. If this strange suit succeeds We may soon hear that devotion to golf isn't consistent with efficiency in busi- ness. Baseball enthusiasts everywhere should "root" for the success of the partner who is being sued because he is stuck on the greatest and best game

DID CAPTAIN TILLEY DO IT.?

The inquiry into the conduct of Cap- tain B. F. Tilley of the United States navy may not be as interesting or inn 1 portant as the inquiry into the conduct of Admiral Schley, but it has its inter esting points. Our island of Tutuia Is one of the Samoan group, and Captain Tilley was recently in charge of the naval station there. It is alleged by missionaries who are engaged in Chris tianizlng the Samoans that Captain Til icy attended a feast given by the na- tives and partook too freely of the wine of the island, In order to determine the truth of these charges the battle ship Wisconsin has been ordered from San Francisco to Tutuila-a distance of five thousand miles-to convey some of the members of the naval court of in- quiry to the scene of Captain T'illey's offense. The other members of the court are now on their way to Samoa on the Solace.
 It is estimated that the cost to the government of this investiga- tion into the gallant officers exper- fences with Samoan beverages will be about $150,000, but of course the cost in such q matter shouldn't and will not count. The inhabitants of Samoa and all the rest of ollf possessions should he made to understand that the United States government spares no pains or expense in its efforts to discourage ex- cessive drinking by its representatives. Some giddy minded ones think this Sa- moan episode would make Q good sub ject for comic opera, but they are mistaken. There is nothing funny about 1t.

THY THEY CIN,I NpELL.


 The children who have the benefit of the magnificent public school system of Chicago, like the children who have the benefit of some other magnificent pub lie school systems, can't spell well, and their spelling Is so bad that it is at- tracting attention. The Chicago Rec ord Herald feels moved to remark that the reason why the children of Chicago can't spell is that they are not taught to spell. The whole school system, it says, has drifted away from the old and true principle of 'line upon line and precept upon precept" as at the base of knowledge, the only sure road up the mountain of facility "The children of Chicago will learn to spell swiftly and accurately when they are drilled in spelling. It is nonsense to search for some physical defect in the pupils where the cause is so palpable in the system"
 There is more truth than poetry in these remarks. Many of the n1agnifi- cent public school systems do not pro- vide for good spelling, or for good read ing and writing. They are too hifalu- tin for such vulgar and plodding work as that.

Great Britain, and may win some ini- tial successes on the water, but she cannot make head there for any great length of time against the old mistress of her quick mobilization, and the un- preparedness of the British Channel fleet at the start-off, to throw an army into England. Germany" says the baron, "can transport six infantry di- visions, or one cavalry brigade and five infantry divisions, to England In a very short time. How the operat on could be carried out must not, of course, be explained here. But this can be said that it can be done within little more than thirty hours in favorable weather from German harbors in the North Sea" There would be no difficulty in finding good landing place. Once landed, the German soldiers could live on the country. The only British forces between them and London would be half a dozen divisions of infantry-reg- ulars and reserves-and three cavalry brigades The baron doesn't care any thing about the volunteers that might try to oppose the progress of the Ger man army. Of the British regulars he remarks that they are Of slight fight ing value compared with we'll trained German troops" He confidently antic- ipates a German victory at the outset. This, he thinks, would demoralize the enemy and practically end the cam paign. The war, when 1t comes, will be a short one, he predicts, and Germany will not have to consider the problem of shipping second army to England to reinforce the first. One army will be sufficient.
 This is an interesting programme, and it will comfort the English who don't know just now whether their fighting men are good for anything or not But If Germany ever does invade England she will find that England isn't France.

The OrcnIsist.

I wonder how the organist
 Can do so many things; He's getting ready long before
 The choir stands up and sings; He's pressing buttons, pushing stops; Hes pulling here and there, And testing all the working parts
 While listening to the prayer. He runs mighty big machine,
 It's full of funny things; A mass of boxes, pipes and tubes, And sticks and slats and strings; There's little whistles for Il cent
 In rows and rows and rows; I'll bet there's twenty miles of tubes As large as garden hose. There's scores as round as stovepipes, and There's lots so big and wide That several little boys, know
 Could play around inside; From little bits of piccoos
 That hardly make q toot There's every size up to the great Big elevator chute. The organist knows every one
 And how they ought to go; He makes them rumble like storm, Or plays them sweet and low; At times you think them very near, At times they're soaring high, Like angel voices, singing far Of, somewhere in the sky. For he can take this structure that's As big as any house, And make 1t squeak as softly as A tiny little mouse; And then he'll jerk out something with A movement of the hand, And make you think you're listening to A military band. He plays 1t with his fingers and He plays it with his toes, And If he really wanted to
 He'd play 1t with his nose; He's sliding up and down the bench, He's working with his knees, He's dancing round with both his feet As lively as you please. always like to take seat Where I can see him go; He's better than sermon, and He does me good, l know; I like the life and movement and I like to hear him play; He is the most exciting thing In town on Sabbath day.

@ An ingenious use has been found for
 the discarded wood blocks from London satreet pavements The woods employed
 for this purpose are the karri and jar
 rah woods of Australia, which, owing to their density of grain and extreme
 hardness, are peculiarly adapted for paving purposes. The blocks are in
 reality only surface damaged and the
 inside is as hard and as durable as it was when first laid down. Several toy manufacturers now purchase the blocks for the purpose of making toys out of them. The outside is trimmed off and the remaining portion converted into small toys Owing to the fact that the raw material is purchased so cheap the
 home manufacturers are in a position
 to undersell foreign competitors. Hith- erto Germany has enjoyed a monopoly In the English toy market. But even cheap labor cannot place the toys upon the market at the same price at which the English manufacturer is now sell ing his products.
