PRISONER GONE
And the officials Did Not Know
When He Escaped.

Young Dewitt who was confined in
the Mahaska county Jail, charged with
uttering forged instruments, managed
in some manner to escape from the
Mahaska county courthouse Jail. No
one seems 20 know how the fellow got
away, when he made the escape, nor
how long he has been gone. The af-
fair is quite mystery.
Tuesday afternoon Chief Of Police
Moore received a telephone commune
cation frori Altoona, little place near
Des Moines, asking If there were De
Wits in Oskaloosa. A description of
the young man followed and the in
quiry came if the fellow was wanted
here. Mr.. Moore Immediately recog-
nized in the description counterpart
of the prisoner in the courthouse Jail.
Why the fellow should not be there
was more than the chief could under
stand. He telephoned to Mr.. Fry, ask
ing If young Dewitt were not still in
the jail, and received the reply that he
was. 1t then occurred to Mr.. Fry to
make an examination and be certain.
He knew that the fellow should be
there, and he was greatly mystified,
upon looking for him, to find that he
was not to be found. The manner of
his escape is not known nor how long
he has been gone.
Altoona was Immediately wired to
hold the prisoner until an officer could
reach there to return him to Oska-
loosa.

ON COLON.
Gen. Alban's Command Is Press
ing Forward.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 27.-The over
due passenger train, with a marine
guard on board, has arrived here.
The train brings news to the effect
that Gen. Alban, with about 800 gov
ernment troops, has crossed Barbacca
bridge and is continuing his march to
Colon. He is now at Tayernilla, where
he is resting. The liberal forces con-
tinue to retreat before him. They ex-
plain their retreat by saying they
have no ammunition. All of the fight
ing Tuesday occurred at Barbacca
bridge. Passengers by the delayed
train assert that fully 100 conserva-
tives were killed and wounded dur
ing the fighting there and that the
liberal losses were insignificant.
The liberals are now approaching
Gatun station (about five miles from
Colon), and it IS believed a decisive
engagement will probably be fought
at Monkey Hill cemetery, distant one
mile from the limits of Colon.
Gen. AIban Wounded.
New York, Nov. 27.--According to
aid, Gen. Alban has been slightly
wounded in a battle with the revolu-
tionists. His horse was killed under
him.
Colombia Makes Protest.
Washington, Nov. 27.-The reported
action of Capt. Perry, the naval officer
in command of the United States
forces on the isthmus, in declining to
permit any of the Colombian or rebel
troops to make use of the railway, may
raise an interesting question. 1t is I'M
derstood here that the Colombian gov
eminent feels that it has the decided
right to use this railway to forward
government troops. This right is
based on the fact that the road is on
land over which Colombia has sover-
eighty, and is operated under a gov
eminent conce ssion, Colombia retain
ing an interest in the road to the ex-
tent of $25O,O00 per year. Moreover,
the Colombian authorities say the
rebels have not had their belligerent
rights recognized by this or any other
government, so that they have no
status as carrying on warfare.
Traffic Kept Open.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Secretary
Long Tuesday received a cablegram
from Commander McCrea, of the gun
boat Machias, at Colon, stating that
the Colombian gunboat General Pin
zon had disappeared to the east. 1t is
thought here that she has gone to Car
tagena for troops. Commander Nc
Crea also acknowledged the receipt of
the departments instructions sent
Monday, advising him of the course
which he is to pursue in the present
situation on the isthmus. 1t was i'm
possible for the navy department Off
Gals to decipher the great portion of
the dispatch and it was returned to
him for repetition.
Traffic Is uninterrupted.

CONSUMp1IYES IN .4EIzONA.

In some of the western and south western States and territories 1t has been felt for a long time that regula- | tions for the restraint of consumptives were needed. Especially has this been | the case in Arizona. That territory, | more even than California or Colorado, is the resort of those afflicted with tuberculosis, who seek health or pro- longation of life and the incoming Of
 hundreds of these ailing persons has created alarm there. Governor Murphy announces that 1t is his purpose to tive authority, of territorial board or health, investing it's officers with full
 sons coming into the territory afflicted
 with consumption, precisely along the
 lines of the power of the boards of
 health of the various States in quaran-
 timing against any dangerous con-
 tagious disease. Of course he says, "I know that this law, if passed, would be
 of the most vital importance to the great army of those afflicted with con-
 sumption, and it is legislation which
 would arouse much discussion as to its
 merits and ultimate effects. But there are two sides to the question. l think our people are entitled to- some sort of protection from contagion, at least on an equality with the patient, who is in turn entitled to exhaust all reason able efforts to get we'll It would be inhuma.n to deny them this chance, but I shall recommend that law be passed prohibiting them from living in hotels and boarding-houses with well people, and requiring them to live upon the desert in places or sanitariums to be provided, and in localities where the possibility of contagion will be as greatly reduced as circumstances per nit"
 Those who know what the situation is in Arizona will see the reasonable ness of the governors attitude.

 rose-All Germs Killed.
 Before the travelling public began to study the germ theory of disease and to take alarm at the spread of tuber- culosis and kindred diseases, little interest was taken in the cleanliness of cars. Today nothing will raise pro- test sooner than a dirty car, and a large percentage of passengers make examination on their own account.

This operation is generally followed by the eXclama ton, My, how clean this car isl" Perhaps she wonders how 1t is poss!- ble to clean the car so thoroughly, She knows the trouble she has getting ser wants who will keep her home free from dust, and envies the Pullman company in it's possession of cleaners that really clean.

THE END OF THE STR UGGLE.

| The suspense is over, and William Mckinley is dead. The end came shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. Early last evening it was announced that the President was dying, and he sank slowly until his life went out. What startling change from week ago, when most that is considered de- | sirable in this world was his, Now he who was the favorite of fortune lies cold and dead, slain by an assassin's S bullet, and the sad vicissitude of things | is taught anew.
 The mourners go about the streets Well may they mourn, for the country has lost one of it's greatest and best men. As soldier he did his duty faithfully and bravely. As a legislator he showed true statesmanship and did efficient and far-reaching work for the countrys prosperity. As President he successfully steered the Ship of State through unknown and perilous seas. And through all his life as soldier, leg islator and President, he set shining
 
 example as a Christian gentleman, a man devoted to duty but ever tolerant and considerate, amiable and friendly. Always respected and admired during his public life, of late his talents and skill have received increased recogni- ton, and as time goes on the great work he has done for his country and the world will be more and more under stood and appreciated And impartial history will. we think, record him as one of the greatest among the great Presidents of the United States.
 The President is dead Long live the President! There Is no occasion for despair. Let us press forward in hope, and in faith that the God who made us nation will preserve us. Especial ly appropriateNnow are these words of William Mckinley; with patriotism in our hearts, and with the flag of our country in our hands, there is no dan ger of anarchy and there is no danger to the American Union"
