FLEW THE COOP.
United States Prisoner Escapes
from Jail.
W. H. Lowry, Charged With Passing
BAD Money, Takes Advantage of
Fay0rs Shown Him.

w. 81. Lowry, United States pris-
oner who was confined in the Blue
Earth county Jail in this city to await
the action of the grand jury at the
November term of the .. S. court,
made his escape Wednesday forenoon.
He mad been allowed outside of the Jail
on several occasions under the eyes OF
the sheriff or his deputy, and had
seemed TO be trustworthy. Today,
however, he took advantage of his OPP
portunities and made off. ....,- 1900
Sheriff Gerlich went to Mapleton We'd
nesday morning, and Deputy Albert Ger
Itch went to st. Peter with patient
for the asylum. Albert Gerlich had
Lowry out to help him hitch up, and
the prisoner knew of the absence Of
both officials. Later in the forenoon,
when both were gone, he was released
again, this time by the wife of the
sheriff, in order that he could wash
the blankets as he had done before.
She directed him to empty slop pail,
and then go down into the basement
and build ire in the laundry. He
took the slop pail and went out, and
this was the last seen of him. This
was about II 80 o'clock. His departure
was discovered in about half an hour,
when Albert Gerlich returned from ST.
Peter. 1t was then found that he was
not in the laundry, as supposed.
Deputy Gerlich notified the city po-
lice at once and telephoned to all the
surrounding towns, and sent out eight
teams in different directions. No
trace of the former prisoner could be
found. None of the neighbors had seen
him go, AID no tracks were left in the
yard.
Lowry had been confined in the Jail
since April 9Th. last The specific charge
was passing a counterfeit nickle on
saloon keeper at New Ulm. When ar
rested he had number of counterfeit
nickles and counterfeit dollar in his
possession. His home is at La Crosse.
He is about fifty-fve years of age,
wears a heavy, dark mustache, and is
rather tall.
The sheriff regrets the prisoners es-
cape and is doing everything posi- BILE
to recapture him. 1t is another case
of betrayed confidence . Lowry could
not withstand the temptation which
his opportunity to escape afforded. 1t
is not likely that he would have been
severely dealt with by the govern
ment if he had remained to face the
charge.

The group of states following the
southern shore of the great lakes from
New York to Illinois, forms a sort of
a presidential belt, having furnished
all of the presidents since 1856. New
York has furnished Arthur, Cleveland
and Roosevelt; Pennsylvania. Blu
chanan Ohio, Hayes, Garfield and
Mckinley; Indiana, Harrison; and
Illinois, Lincoln and Grant. These
five states in wealth and population are
not equaled by any other five in the
country.

ANTI-ANARCHIsTIU LEGISLATION

Various forms of anti-anarchistic
legislation is being suggested and
many minds are busy in framing
something practical which they think
will reach the case in point, and
which will be presented to congress
when it meets next December. The
New York World sets forth four pro-
positions which it thinks fully covers
the case and should be enacted into
laws: They are as follows:
1. Furnishing with death any at
tempt upon the presidents life, whe,
ther such attempt fails or succeeds.
2. Providing for the Punishment OF
every avowed or clearly proved anar'
chist to some island in the Philippines,
just as France used to exile her des,
perate felons to Cayenne, and England
hers to Botany Bay.
3. Making all anarchist societies
unlawful and providing for their de-
struction by suitable penalties for al
their officers and members.
4.-Excluding anarchist Immigrants
from admission to this country, and
providing suitable tests for their dis
covery.
10 these might be added a PROPOSE
ton excluding as far as possible al
anarchistic documents, as well as al
papers preaching anarchy and so incit
ing murder of public officials, from
transmission through the mails. 1t il
quite probable, however, that the put
ting in force of the four propositions
above quoted would meet the cas-
sufficiently to curb the growing spiri
of anarchy in large cities, though q
the Duluth News-Tribune suggests
No. 2 may be held to be too drastic
and un-American. However, the wis'
| counsel of President Roosevelt ant
other leading men of both parties may
be trusted in curbing any radical &C
ton and bring about wise and con
sentative legislation upon this point.

Drilling the BrookIyn-.

The Brooklyn club owes much of its
success, in the opinion of people who
know its methods. to the careful and
constant training every player gets in
batting and at his position.
Every morning the team Is out for
some hours of practice. If there has
been fall down on the previous day in
a game. the play is repeated several
times. so that the error and how to
prevent il becomes fixed in the minds
of the players. As TO batting, Captain
Kelly watches the men closely, and IL,
for instance. he sees that one OF the
men cannot hit high balls, no,hlng but
high balls are pitched TO him until he
learns how to land on them. The ele
mentary faults OF a batter, such as
pulling the ball, are easily cured, but
good batter is born not made. You
can take a fair batter and improve
him. but you cannot take a poor bat.
ter and make him good one.
In the field special plays are prac.
ticed. doubles and the like. In fact.
the morning school for the team is a
constant drilling in what they should
know in order to be able to think
quickly, act intelligently and play their
positions for all that is in them.

Oneninr Of Alma COLLEGE

For a few day prior to last Wednes-
day, Alma gained a large per cent. in
population. The event was the gather
ing Of the students of Alma College, and
at the opening on Wednesday morning
the enrolment showed a. large, If not
larger number than were present at the
same time last year, and also a more
favorable future.
As the RECORD last week made note
of the vast improvements which have
taken place, and of the new members of
the faculty, we Will only at this time
speak Of the formal opening which took
place at $40, Wednesday morning
After the usual chapel exercises Presi-
dent Bruske in a few well chosen re-.
marks, introduced Rev. Jay Clizbe,
whom ne designated as The Grand Old
Man of the College" who would de
lever the opening address
The subject of Mr.. Chzbe's address
was Culture and the Bible" He spoke
of the great necessity of proper culture,
simply fitting ones self for business, is
not culture. 1t is the cultivation of all
our faculties which go to make up the
noble and useful man of the world.
He said all is in the man, but must be
developed; simply cultivating corner of
garden does not bring forth good results
as a whole garden He dwelt upon
early training and formation of habits,
and said the young person in early life
should form high ideas He thought
that if all in life depended upon playing
a game of chess, all would study every
move, and every principle of the game
so as to win, and that the man who
plays well, goes forward and he who
pays i'll, stands still or makes but little
progress. lie said that culture was a
great factor in ones life, and while the
college could not do all, IL was great
| factor in promoting the same. He
charged all to study the bible as it con-
tanned types of the highest ideas OF
character, such as Paul, Moses and
Christ. He hoped that all who went
forth from Alma College would adhere
to these principles.
After the close of the address Presi
dent Bruske gave few Instructions &C
the students, and the exercises closed
The balance of the day was taken NJ
with the work of matriculation. Thurs
day morning the students were assigned
