Criminals Almost Escaue.

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 15.-Several
criminals confined In the county Jail
made a desperate attempt to escape
last night. They had worked a hole
through the brick walls in the corri-
dor nearly large enough to crawl
through when discovered. An alarm
given by outsiders narrowly prevented
a wholesale Jail delivery. Two Of the
prisoners are desperate characters,
implicated in holding up and shooting
a man last summer. They will be kept
in a steel cage hereafter.

De Soto, Mo-, Oct. 15.-An unidenti-

been camping near this city, was
killed yesterday and two of his COM

ion. The fourth man escaped. Three

head, apparently at close range. The
dead man was known as "Dutchie."
The prisoners refuse to talk.

The Prince Home Again.

Prince Henry's return to Germany was
marked by a formality and ceremony which
revealed the Importance attached to his
visit in German royal circles. The kaiser
welcomed him with all the pomp extended
to homecoming hero. He was hailed as
an envoy extraordinary to the American
nation. the advance agent of a better senti-
ment between the peoples In this, per-
haps lay the highest significance of the
call. The prince was dispatched. in all
likelihood, as the token of a desire on the
part Of the emperor for more cordial reia-
tions with the United States
If that We're really the German object, 1t
has been achieved. The visit has produced
a wholesome sentiment all sides. Amer
leans have learned that royalty is not for
bidding or snobbsh or distant 1t has made
a distinctly pleasant impression, though
without In any degree appealing to the love
of display and splendor which lies latent il
many breasts. Prince Henry was as demo-
cratic as the most radical American in his
general bearing while here, and while he
made no converts to the monarchcal sys-
TEN of government, seeking none, he un-
questionably cleared away some traditional
beliefs which history has created and mod

valor Of the Americans who did not hesi-
tate to sacrifice themselves for the princi-
pies which they held dearest whether
they fought for the north or for the south.
The joint delegation Of northern and south
ern veterans who appeared at the White
House the other day to ask for President
Roosevelt's aid for the bridge demon
strated what this project means IN the
largest national sense. Mr.. Watterson $
words effectively supplement their plea Tor
the immediate provision OF funds to permit
the commencement of the work when the
Grand Army of the Republic, perhaps for
the last time meets at the national capt.
tai in reunion next autumn.
Mr.. Watterson appeals to the national
spirit which Mr.. Mckinley SO eloquently
and effectively invoked in his efforts to-
ward reunion The distinguished Ken
tuckian even hints at possible joint re-
union here of veterans of both sides In
celebration of the laying of the corner
stone of the bridge next October. There
are possibilities in this suggestion of the
broadest national Significance Prompt
action by Congress on the proposition just
presented by Senator Martin of Virginia for
an immediate appropriation of 100000 to
start the work on the bridge will afford a
guarantee of governmental interest in
these possibilities

A Patriotic View of WASHINGTON,

Mr.. Henry Watterson's Interview on the

UnreWarded Heroes.

Seven brave men were drowned Monday
off Cape Cod while trying to rescue hve
others who had been stranded on wrecked
vessel These heroes were of the life-saV-
ing service, trained in meeting danger,
ready at the first call to brave any peril.
ready even to sacrifice their own for the
lives of others. Their effort in this in
stance was made in the face of fierce
gale, and they had taken the shipwrecked
sailors off their stranded barge and had
turned back to the shore when the boat
was overturned and all but one of the
thirteen in the boat were drowned Happily
this story is not often told, but neverthe-
less there is no limit to the risks the life

deserving of far more consideration. They
should not only be paid better wages, but
paid continuously the year around. They

Another Pier Fire.

New Yorks water front has suffered
again from fire. a steamer and several
piers burning. with probably heavy loss
Of life. The piers destroyed were of wood
and burned the more fiercely because Of
the large accumulations of tinder-like dust
on the tops of beams under the roofs. The
lesson of the danger of such water front
construction should have been thoroughly
learned when the other great Hoboken fire
occurred, with a far greater loss of life and
property. That disaster directed attention
conspicuously to the need of fire-proof con-
struction for the accommodation of ship
ping in the large ports, but apparently
nothing has been done. save the rebuilding
in more substantial manner of the piers

Life Savers.

From the Boston Transcript.
The loss of twelve lives Off the treach-
erous shoals of Monomoy is said to be the
worst disaster of it's class that has occurred
since the life-saving service was estab-
lished. And what a magnificent service it
has been and is: how rich In human
achievement, how glorious In it's record of
daring and sacrifice. how modest in it's
pretensions and it's claims! It's field of op-
erations is the angry and tilmultuous sea-
1t is attended by no martial pomp; It is
stimulated by no artificial excitements.
Those who enlist In 1t have to rely upon
their own stOutness Of heart and stead
