NEAR TO ESCAPE.

from Their Ankles.

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct 1S.-A Star
special from Leavenworth, Kan. says:
Officers of the federal penitentiary
discovered last evening that Gilbert
Mullins and Bob Clark. two of the five
convict mutineers about to be tried for
murder, had filed off their shackles and
were making preparations to escape
during the progress of the trial yester-
day. A file was found in the cell of
one of the prisoners and it is believed
that it was slipped to the convicts> dur
ing the crowding and moving about in
the corridors of the court house The
convicts had the chain shackle filed off
and tied with a string where it Was
fastened above the ankle.
The deputy marshals helping guard
the convicts while at the government
building believed they discovered signs
of a plot Thursday when a man was
noticed trying to signal to the pris-
oners.
The five men are to be tried for murder
for killing Guard Waidrupe during the
outbreak last November, when q convicts

PRESS on END OF STRIKE
Praise Accorded President Roose vet
and Mitchell. L

The leading papers of the country, /
discussing the virtual settlement of tn
coal strike, award praise to Presiden-
Roosevelt for his determined stand thas
the parties to the dispute get togethel
on some basis and end their quarrel
President Mitchelrs course @lso is conf
mended, and the country is congratu1
lated On the fact that arbitration as a,
means of settling labor disputes is firn-l
~ established. Editorial views follow:
VICTORY FOR THE PRESIDENT.
New York Times:
Without doubt the person whom the
inha bitants of those parts of this couu-
try which depend upon anthracite coal
have mainly to thank for a happy is
sue out of all their Affections" is the
president cf the United States. That he
was somewhat moved by the perilOuS
predicament of the party of which he
is the titular head we are neither pre-
pared nor much concerned to deny. The
intervention was at great risk, even of
the dignity of his office. But the event
has justified BIN. The president stands
higher in the confidence of his fellow
citizens than he did before We may say
the same thing of Mr.. Mitchell, in his
degree
INSISTED ON PRINCIPLE.
New York Sun:
In saying that the appointment of the
commission under whose auspices the
coal strike is to end marks the publics
escape from danger of extreme gray
ity. we have no thought of the personal
suffering and industrial disturbances
caused BIZ a famine in coal. A far
worse disaster than that was at one
time SO imminent as apparently to be
unavoidable. The one principle which
the managers of the coal roads would
not sacrifice. even to the general need
of coal. was this right to work indie
pendent of John Mitchell or those like
him
VICTORY FOR COMMON SENSE
New York World:
The end of the coal strike is simply a
belated victory for common sense The
answer of the coal operators at first
was that there is nothing to arbitrate,"
and for more than five. months they
have persisted in that attitude 1t has
cost the mine owners many millions of
dollars. the stockholders of the rail-
roads many millions more and lost the
miners millions in wages Is not all this
a high price to pay for mere Bourbonish
osbtiDacy on the part of a half dozen
railroad presidents and their master! ].

THANKS FOR RELIEF OF. COUNTRY
New York Tribune:
For this immense relief the county
will justly render thanks and praise to
tie president. 1t will be agreea BILE to all
right minded citizens to feel that a dis
interested effort has resulted not In low
ering but in raising the public estebrn
of Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is also due to NO
operators to say that in the end tAev
made PREPARATION for whatever faults bf
conduct and deneanor they had pre-
viously committed.

The Best Costs No More.

There are few competent oculists
and physicians in Topeka who make
most careful examination of the eyes
who are kept busy and have no occasion
to travel over the country. The woods
and country roads are full of gradu-
ated healers and fake opticians. If you
value your eyesight, call on those who
have the reputation and ability. 1t
