I've conyicts Escape.

Two convicts slipped their shackles
Wednesday night and escaped from the
chain gang. They were State con-
victs, and were leased by the county
chain gang. both being long time
prisoners. Diligent efforts we're made
yesterday to get on their track and re-
capture them but up to this time no
trace Of them has been discovered.
Supervisor Scale has offered a reward
of $50 each for their capture and re-
turn to the chain gang and it is believ-
cd that their capture is but question
of few days.
The escaped convicts are Boston
Bailey, who was serving a seven yea,
sentence, and Clarence Sprigs, who was
in the penitentiary for ten years. One
Of them is blind in one eye and has a
tattoo mark on left arm. A full de-
scription of the two men can be OBJ.

Clears Land with Goats

Prof. w. l.. Hutchinson, director
Of the Mississippi experiment sta.
tion, who has just returned from a
trip to Louisiana, reports a queer
but effectual method adopted by a
planter near Wilson, La, of clear
ing large tract of new land. The
owner has purchased herd of 800
Angora goats, and the ANIMALS not
only eat up all the briars. vines
and small underbrush, but they
actually bark the trees and thus
kill them Cockleburrs are de-
voured with much avidity, while
blackberry bushes are eaten up
with especial delight. Even the
hated bitter weed is pulled up by
the roots and devoured, and the
farmer has reduced the cost Of
clearing land not less than IS per
cent, while his herd Of animals
also yield a Eice revenue in mohalr.

Just Died.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 11.-The death
Of Miss Carrie Wilkerson recalls to the
minds of those who knew her that she
was the lifelong sweetheart of Alex

and Mr.. Stephens lived In adjoining
counties in their early youth. and an
attachment sprang up between them.
When they were quite young. which
grew as the years passed by. Neither

Some people wear their eyeglasses
or spectacles to bed, for the simple
reason that they cannot sleep without
them on: at least that's what an
optician says. and he ought to KNOW
FOR confessions were recently made TO
him upon the point. A woman had
repeatedly come to him with the bows
of her spectacles SO badly twisted
that he asked her how under the sun
she ever managed to get them In such
a state. He says that he had visions
of some childish hands having part
In the work, some little one thnt liked
to play with mammals glasses.
But the woman said that she had
been wearing glasses so much or re-
cent years that finally she had taken To
wearing them to bed as the only way
of getting to sleep. She said that II
was only within the past few weeks
that she had had any trouble from the
custom, as she ordinarily managed
to keep the front part OF her face on
the pillow; but lately she must have
had bad sleep, with more or less night
mares.

Wireless Telephone
Found In California

STOCKTON, Cal. April 1l.-A sys-
tenn of wireless telephone has been dis
covered by J. II. Lille. of Lodi, sup
erintendent of the Sunset Company,
who says he will soon place an instru-
ment on the market that will revoiu-
tionize communication.
Lilies alleged discovery in wireless
telephoney was made by an accident
combined with his knowledge of elec-
tricity.
He was building system OF Daroed
wire lines for farmers in the northern
part of San joaquin County last week.
Two wires were four miles apart. ana
on testing the lines he heard another
rancher more than eight miles away
talking. This set him to thinking, and
he soon figured out that he had solved
the problem of wireless telephony.
Since that time he has perfected q
system and an instrument. The ques-
ton of long distance is being soiVed
by pratical test.
