LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
Tho Abducted American Missionary En-

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 12.-From an
other letter that has been received
from Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the abduct-
ed American missionary, it appears
that she is enduring the trials of her
hard experience with fortitude, for
getting herself in her anxiety for her
companion, Nine. Tsilka. Miss Stone
does not dare to complain of the
treatment to which they are subject
ed, but she finds the confinement irk-
some and the weather extremely try
ing. The tone of her latest letter
received from her is hopeful. The
brigands, by dating the letters at
places in Macedonia and delaying
their delivery, seek to create the mp
pearance of being far distant. The
Bulgarian government continues to
interfere in the negotiations with the
object of forcing transference Of
them across the frontier.

USED FOR A SHIELD.
Sheriff Who Went to Capture Con-
victs Was Himself Taken.
Two Of the Prisoners from Fort Leaven-
worth by Remarkable Strategy We're
Enabled to Escape with Arms
and Ammunition.

lOpeka, MIL, NON. lls-IWo VI tiC
convicts who escaped from the fed
eral penitentiary ut Fort Leaven-
worth Thursday captured Porter s.
Cook, the sheriff of Shawnee county,
yesterday afternoon and kept him
prisoner in q farmhouse until night
fall. Meanwhile they held posse of
Topeka policemen, deputy sheriffs
and farmers at bay, and finally made
their escape while the posse looked
ON. Before they took the sheriff he
and his deputies shot ut them,
wounding each, one in the leg and
the other in the arm. Before the
fugitives made off they sought to get
even by shooting the sheriff, but the
gun missed fire and Cook lives to tell
the tale.
1t all occurred near Pauline, little
town six miles south of here on the
Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe road.
About noon some boys who were
hunting saw two white men skulking
in the timber. They wore citizens
clothes, but the boys knew of the es-
cape of the conyicts from the federal
penitentiary, and judged from the
conduct of the men thar they were
two of the gang. The boys FASTENED
to town and told the story, and at
once the information was telephoned
to Sheriff Cook in Topeka.
When Sheriff Cook received the
message he and Hall Williams, the
under sheriff, drove in buggy to
Pauline. They soon located the con-
victs and opened fire upon them.
Their guns were of heavy caliber and
the convicts fed. The officers pur-
sued, following them into an orchard
on the farm of man named Worces-
ter. Beyond the orchard is Worces-
ter's house, toward which the men
were running.
Here Cook lost sight of them and
he entered the house to make inquiry
of Worcester, whom he knows very
well, but instead of Worcester, one
of the convicts came to the door, and
III q uiOiuCiI SOOh was u PiiSOhCi ohu
tlisarmed. Cook was taken so COM
Retely by surprise that he made no
resistance and after the convict had
taken n Winchester rifle and 3S-
,aliber revolver from him he was
forced to sit on a chair while the con-
Wet stood over him with the revolver
he had captured. Close by Worcester
was seated, guarded by the other con-
vict. There was little necessity, how
ever, for Worcester to be guarded,
for he had been desperately wounded.
When the convicts ran into his house
he reached fora shotgun and one OF
the convicts beat him over the head
with gun. He was also wounded in
the arm and his condition is so bad
that surgeon has been sent from
here to dress his wounds.
The convicts made their escape
from the house through the lines of
policemen by shielding themselves
behind the farmers wife and Sheriff
Cook, holding pistols to their heads.
Sheriff Cook ordered the policemen
not to fire. The convicts marched
down the railroad track and disap-
peared into a cornfield.

CHEAPER POWER NOW
RECENT IMPROVEMENTS AT
WAIANEA SUGAR COMPANY
Power is Generated From Mountain
Water Several Other Plantations
Are Contemplating Same
System.

The question of cheaper form Of
power to operate the vast amount of
sugar machinery now being erected
upon various plantations in the Islands
is today, in many instances. being solv-
ed in a practical way.
The Waianae Sugar Co. has recent
ly installed at their plantation on Oahu
rather unique pumping plant, con-
sisting Ct . Worthngton triplet engine
having a capacity of 100000 gallons
against total head of 1875 feet.
This engine is operated by two Cen
eral Electric Co.'S motors. connected
with pumping engine by double reduc-
ton of gears.
The power is generated from noun
tain water, which has been developed
by excavating several tunnels and the
amount of water available for power
purposes at the present time is about g.
100000 gallons per day.
This water is piped under head Of
lhbOut ''' l''N w u 'lN'H NhA'l "h''is
which drives two General Electric Co. s
geenrators or dynamos.
The distance which this electrical
energy Is transmitted Is about six
miles, with a total loss of electrical
energy Of less than 10 per cent.
The water. after passing through the
water wheel and performing its duty.
Is again picked up and conveyed to the
upper cane lands. By this means. It is
used for generating power as well as
for irrigation. There are several other
plantations in the Islands such as the
Pioneer Waikiki and others that are
contemplating the installation of SINH
lar plants. They are at present engag-
ed in developing the mountain water
supply.
Owing to the high price Of coal, It is
quite likely that a number of steam
pumping plants on the various plan,
tations will be supplanted by the above
electrical pumping system.
