THEY WANTED OUT.
Prisoners in County Jail Tried to Dig
Out on Sunday.

Prisoners in County Jail Tried to Dig
Out on Sunday.
The fellows who are in the Ford coun-
ty Jail made attempt on Sunday to
escape. There are several in the jail.
Some one evidently had furnished them
crow bar from the outside. With this
they had first sprung the lock leading
from their hallway into an unused room
In the Jail. From this room they oper-
ated quite successfully on the floor ef
the county clerks office directly above.
The job probably interrupted when
the men were locked in the steel cages for
the night.
When the county clerks Office was
opened Monday it was found that some
of the boards in the floor had been pried
up. A little more work would have
made opening through which the in
mates of the Jail could have crawIed into
the court house. The men had requested
at night to be let out of the steel cages
early in the morning. complaining that
they were uncomfortable to stay in. If
this request had been granted they might
have succeeded in getting TO the upper
floor, and although they probably would
have been detected they at least would
have had chance of escape. The Sher-
iff has been Investigating the affair and
claims to know who engineered the at
tempt to escape, but he has not made the
matter public as yet.

THE tax bill is now fairly before
the legislature for action. Two
weeks have been used to advan-
tage in listening 10 arguments for
and against the measure, and these
expressions of opinious from all
sources have served to throw an
immense amount of light upon the
general subject of taxation and
the bill in its bearing upon the
subject. The indications are that
the bill will not pass during this
session, or any other-but a num-
Der of constitutional amendments
will be agreed upon for submission
to the people at the general election
in Observation-Disclosures which
are necessary to clear the way for
such tax code as the state re-
quires. But there is no assurance
that the amendments will be adopt
ed, Under the new law it requires
majority of all the votes cast at
the election to amend the constitu-
tiou-not merely majority cast
for or against the amendment.
The effect of this provision is that
a person not voting on the amend
ment at all will be counted against
it. Probably the only way of get
ting the amendments desired will
be by a constitutional convention.
The sooner the better.

HOSPITAL NEEDED.

The necessities of a first class
hospital in this city grow more
apparant every day. The advan.
tages which would accrue to the
city are too apparent to need emu
merating. The location for Sc
curing patronage from without the
city is all that could be desired.
The railroads tributary to the city
would bring in large number of
cases. while the farming country
about would contribute many
cases every year; and any one at
all familiar with the city knows
that it is sending patient after
patient away for surgical opera
tons or for special treatment
which could just as we'll be done
here.
At this time it is not necessary
to discuss the details of such
hospital-but simply to impress
upon our citizens the advantages
which would accrue by reason of
it. The HERALD knows that we
have citizens who would gladly
give the enterprise substantial
assistance and encouragement.
There is no better time for giving
the matter serious consideration
than the present.

WILL RUIN DAWSON cry.
Recent Canadian Order Causes Great
Indignation.

Chicago. Feb. 19.-Advices from
Dawson, via SkagWay, according to a
Seattle special to The Chronicle, state
that an order which arrived from OF
tawa recently gives the Treadgold
water and mining syndicate possession
of all vacant ground and all ground to
become vacant in the richest portion
of the Klondike. Canadians have
Joined Americans in expressions of in
dignation and will leave for other gold
fields.
Business men of Dawson see ruin
staring them in the face. It is said
that unless action is taken at Ottawa
Immediately six weeks will see Daw-
son deserted camp. A monster mass
meeting was in progress when the
message was sent.
The order gives A. N. G. Treadgold,
Sir Thomas Tancred and other mem
bers of the syndicate title in fee to all
lapsed or vacant claims on Hunker,
Bear and Bonanza creeks and all their
tributaries. This includes Eldorado
creek, the richest in the world. This
leaves of the paying creeks only Do
minion, Gold Run and Sulphur and
Indian river that will remain open.

THE CHARTER.

In December last the city conn-
Gil, impressed with the very pat
ent fact that our existing city
charter is wholly inadequate for
Its purposes, employed MessTs.
Miner, Barto and Kelsey to draw
one which shall be comprehensive,
compact and coherent. They
have devoted considerable time
thereto; but it is not yet complet-
ed. To be submitted at the city
election on April 1, it will have to
be reported by a commission to
the Mayor thirty days prior to that
time. That commission to be
composed of fifteen citizens has not
vet been appointed-although
that will not consume much time.
However, the time is short and
none of it should be lost. 1t this
commission would give the matter
close attention a week, perhaps,
would be sufficient time to consid-
er. and if necessary amend and
change the recommendations Of
the three attorneys who are draw.
ing It.
Very evidently, the first STEP
is the completion of the document
and yet there is no reason why
the commission should not take
under consideration such features
of it as are finished even before i
is all written. Valuable time coule
thus be saved.
The HERALD hopes that the city
will have, as the result of thi!
movement, a charter which shal
be model for cities of its class
a document which, while giving
ample latitude for the doing O
everything which ought to b
done by a city will be sufficiently
restrictive to prevent extravance
with provisions so clear tina

A LAW has been introduced to
repeal the dog tax and the applica-
ton of the tax to the payment OF
damages Inflicted by dogs upon
sheep. The bounty upon wolves
has been reduced to very insigni-
ficant figure, and no money to pay
even what is left of it. No wonder
the farmers are discouraged in the
matter of keeping sheep. Some
one out in Grey Eagle is poisoning
dogs, and the village council offers
a reward for the detection of the
miscreant. Would it not be good
idea for the legislature to levy a
special tax on sheep to pay for the
dogs which may be killed?

life, the principal witness in the trial
Of Wardman Glennon and whose testi-
mony was thought to have been large
ly responsible for G1ennon's conviction
and sentence to Sing Sing, is dead.
McAuliffe's death, according to the
diagnosis of the hospital surgeons,
was due to compound fracture of
the base of the skull and fracture of
the nose. The man was unconscious
when picked up in Sixth avenue Sat
urday evening and did not regain con
sciNusness before he died.

ANDREW TAPER HANGED.
Murderer Of Rosa Mixa Executed at
Chaska, MINI.

Chaska, Minn., Feb: 19.-Andrew
Taper, murderer of Rosa Mixa at
Carver last June, paid the penalty of
his crime upon the gallows in the
courtyard at this place shortly after
midnight.
The execution of Taper by Sheriff
Johnson was witnessed by $50 sher.
ifs and deputy sheriffs from counties
within the state. It was the first pub.
lie hanging ever held in Carver
county.
Taper stood silent, his face blanch-
ed, but he was resigned to his fate.
He had fortified himself and bore the
ordeal bravely. His lips moved in
silent prayer as he followed the
church hymn in the German tongue
and his eyes turned heavenward. He
died as he said he would, praying God
to forgive him for his crime.

tion by the director of the census Of
statistics respecting the production Of
cotton. Mr.. Allison vigorously oppos-
ed the provision, maintaining that the
cotton statistics gathered by the de-
partment Of agriculture were complete
and accurate and that no necessity
existed for their duplication. Despite
his opposition the provision was In
saysed in the bill.

House Members, However, Discuss
Other Subjects.

matters not germane to the bill he
would reserve his opening address.
Mr.. Burleson (Tex.D then made a
speech on the subject of trusts. He
spoke of "the strenuous one" who had
succeeded to the presidency last fall

last summer with the utterances in his

fore his accession to the presidency he
had spoken of trust barons" and
"monopolists;; afterward of captains

ElG sANITARIuM AT BATTLE
CREEK, MICH, TOTALLY DE-
sTRoYED BY FIRE.
HEROIC WORK OF NURSES
Although the Flames Spread With
Great Rapidity the Four Hundred
People in the Building, Many OF
Whom Were Helpless, Were Arous-
ed and Assisted to Places of Safety.
But One Person Seriously Injured.

out One FerSon seriously uJutSo'
Battle Creek, Mich. Feb. 19.-The
Kellogg, or Seventh Day Adventist
sanitarium. which was located on 9
hill at the highest point in the city
was destroyed by fire during the morn
ing The property loss is estimated al
from 100000 to 100000. So far as
can be learned there was no loss Of
life among the 400 people in the sani
tarium, although one or two are said
to be missing and their bodies may be
in the ruins. However, those missing
may be in one of the houses or hotels
which have taken in the homeless
patients. Mrs. H. c. Daniels of Edo
RADIO, Kan, is the only person known
to be seriously injured. She jumped
or fell from the fire escape at the
third story and sustained broken leg
The fire started in the bathroom OF
the sanitarium, probably about the
furnace. A still alarm was turned in
but the first company of firemen called
could not cope with the flames, which
ran up the elevator shaft to the roof
A general call was sent in but the fire
was then beyond control. The water
pressure was low and this added to
the handicap of the f1remen. In two
hours the building was in ruins and
the hospital was nearly destroyed. II
is almost miraculous that the 400
sleeping inmates escaped with their
lives. Watchmen darted through the
corridors awakening them when the
fire was discovered. Few of them had
time to gather together any clothing
and escaped in their night clothes.
Corridors Rapidly Fill With Smoke.
The corridors soon filled with smoke
and about half of the patients were
compelled to make their way down
the fire escapes. Mrs. Fl. G. Daniels
who was injured, was on the fourth
floor. She was awakened by the cry
of fire and rushed to the fire escape
on the fourth floor. She got down
safely as far as the third story, when
she either jumped or fell, she hardly
knows which. She is resting easily
and is in no danger. Mrs. Gillingham
of Atlantic City, N. j., describing her
escape, said:
"I was in my room on the fifth
floor when the nurse rushed to the
door, crying fire. The electric lights
were going then but they soon went
out and we were in darkness but for
the flames which rushed from the
tower above our heads. My aged hus.
band was on the floor beneath me and
he had to go down the fire escape, as
did I. He was guided by nurse and
escaped safely. Scores of people were
on the escape coming from all parts
Of the building and it is wonder that
none Of them we're killed"
Firemen Henry Lucas and Arthur
Robinson and Assistant Chief Webb
were slightly hurt by a fall from a
ladder.
The management of the sanitarium
is positive that no lives were lost, as
each room was visited three times
by a nurse before the building was
abandoned. The buildings will be re-
built Immediately.
In addition to the loss on the build
fng and its contents the loss on the
personal property of patients is heavy.
