SHERIFF BLOCKS
JAIL DELIVERY
Timely Disc overy Of Tunnel at
Lima, O., Prevents Escape
OF Desperate Criminals.

Lima, O., Aug. %. = What appears
to have been we'll laid plot for q
wholesale jail delivery was discovered
at the county jail Thursday night by
Sheriff Barr and Deputy Sheriff Sum-
mers while making their last round
before retiring.
For several days grating noise has
been noticed by the officers, but all
attempts to trace It proved futile.
Last night daring plan was unearth-
ed. With improvised saws and picks
fashioned from pieces of iron and
sharpened upon the stone walls Of
their cells the prisoners most Of
whom are criminals of more or less
desperate stripe, had sawed through
the stone floor and had started 10
tunnel towards the wall. The saws
were made from pieces of iron taken
from the ventilator in the cell. The
men had kept the tools hidden under
a carpet upon which cuspidor rest
ed, and in the ventilator.
The prisoners in the plot include
John O'Brien, charged with murder;
Red Donahue. robbery; Bill Bailey,
highway robbery; Charles Butler, rob-
berry; Harry Turpinseed, robbery; be-
sides several prisoners held for minor
offenses.
Another week would have sufIiced
for the men to tunnel to the we'll.
where they would have made the at
tempt to reach freedom.

louisville, Aug. 22.-In reply to the

he made a serious mistake in sup
posing that he could contribute to
Democratic harmony. But we do not
think he was a disinterested man.
On the contrary, it is our opinion that
he never drew an unselfish breath in
all his life: that he goes out after all
there Is in sight, or he does not 60

a retired sage and patriot Is but the
crafty and spectacular performance of
"a man who-ha heen--like his younger
prototype, Theodore Roosevelt-a can
didase for Office ever since he came
of age.
USES STRONG WORDS.
1--WE detest him not because of any
thing he ever did or said to us. but
for what We have seen him do and
heard him say to others. He is an
artful, selfish ignorant and vulgar
professional politician, having had
amazing good fortune and being pos
sessed of rare skill in the pursuit. OF

appearance upon nhe scene at this time

"No real Democrat can regard Mfr.
Cleveland other than as a marplot and
wrecker. Between him and Bryan we
would support Bryan ten times over;
between him and Roosevelt we would
support Roosevelt. OF course the sug-
gestion of his candidacy Is a kind of
absurdity. But not in his opinion nor
In the opinion of the wealthy ninconl-

UNLUCKY FOR HILL.
"That he and Hill came together

the better of the other. They are a
pair of professional politicians. naught
else. IL was an unlucky occasion to
Hill, who did have something to lose.
But, as a matter of fact, Cleveland has
always outplayed Hill.
Harmony should not be looked for
in that direction. Real harmony lies
elsewhere. Mr.. Cleveland. II he be 1or
once in his life disinterested man,

"Obeyo is Out of Style.

Fashionable clergymen seldom insert the
word 'obey" in the marriage service.
IT is the brides pet aversion. While 1t
has never really prevented wedding, II is
a stumbling block to the altar.
A pretty and tactful way out Of this
difficulty of the marriage ceremony was
suggested by a bride. who substituted the
word yield for obey and thereby as
serted her right to equality with her hus-
band. She recognized his authority, but Il
was the authority of love, not law, and to
the feminine mind there is a wide differ
ence between doing a thing because you
want to and because you have to.
No man has right to rule his wife any
more than she has to rule him. If a wo-
man hasn't honesty enough to be trusted
with her husbands purse if she hasn't dis
erection enough to be the confdant of his
business secrets, if she hasn't sense enough
to know what to do without being hidden
like child. she is not fit to marry.

also gentle, kind, cheerful and healthy, she
is the loveliest creature on the face of the
earth. Be prodigal of soap, water, sleep
and exercise; keep your hair well brushed
your dress neat: study to please people;
say nice things to them and say nothing
unkind of them; look your best and do
your best, and, dear girl, you will be the
queen of hearts.
Useful Recipes.
For removing superfluous hair, take one
part barium sulphide or one dram, which
is about one even teaspoonful, and four
parts or four teaspoonfuls of common
laundry starch, each well powdered. Mix
thoroughly the starch and barium sulphide;
moisten and apply a small quantity with
the finger to the hair which is to be re-
moved; let it remain four or five minutes,
wash off and rub on camphor ice or any
healing cold cream. Barium suIphide is a
poison; it removes superfluous hair, but
would make the flesh sore if healing
cream Were not applied. Do not use if
there is any eruption on the face, and do
not repeat the application more than twice.
The electric needle l recommend for the re-
moYa1 of superf1uous hair, if one does not
mind expense and slow process.
To apply pumice stone for the removal
of superflunus hair. it should be moistened
with water, and then applied by means of
the finger. 1t is only of use where the
growth of hair is very slight.
To keep one from freckling through the
summer" keep the following solution in
bottle on your toilet table, and three times
a week, at night. rub some on the face with
a cloth: Glycerin, 2 drains, lemon juice, l
dram "a dram, please remember is one
teaspoonfuD, and ounces rose water
orange flower water.
Glycerin and lime juice are good to clear
the voice: One ounce the former to
ounces lime or lemon juice. Take a tea
spoonful three times a day. Cod liver Oil
is preferred to olive oil, if one wants to
gain flesh. Buy a bottle of emulsion of
cod liver oil or one of clear cod liver oil:
take a tablespoonful three times daily, be-
fore or after meals you choose. If you
will take a drop of essence of peppermint
in your mouth, you Will not find the oil so
difficult to take-it isn't a pleasant dose,
but heroic treatment is necessary at times
if one would be healthy. wealthy and
wise" For wrinkles under the eyes olive
oil or mutton tallow is good; rub it in with
the fingers thoroughly and carefully, with
