the escaping prisoners, although somewhat
bruised and sore from his struggle with
them. Mrs. Martin, who has recently re-

window after them. He gave chase as far
as Sixth street, but in the rain and dark
ness lost sight of the fugitives there.

Cousins yesterday, said he knew nothing OF
a ~preconcerted plan to escape, but followed
the others when they made their dash

RECAPTURE ONE PRISONER
II. Fishburn Found I'm Rock Island
Yards by special Omcer
Beswick.

H. Ffshburn. one of the seven prisoners
who escaped from the county jail Thursday
evening. was recaptured about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning at the Rock Island rail-
road yards, by Special oficer Beswick.
Fishburn says that after escaping from
the county Jail. he separated from the
others and made his way to South Omaha.
There he attempted to get a ride on a freight
train going east, but failed. He then
crossed back to Council Bluffs and was
waiting at the roundhouse in the hope
Of being able to jump q freight, when
onicer Beswick found him and took him
back TO the county jail. Fishburn when
recaptured was wearing a yellow oil rain
coat, which he did not have when he left
the county Jail. When Mrs. Martin was
seized by the escaping prisoners and forced
into the corridor It was Fishburn who
prevented her from being roughly treated.
Word was received yesterday morning
from Avoca that a man thought to be An
drew Thompson, supposed to be the ring
leader of the prisoners who escaped. was
under arrest there. The man II was said
had been captured with diniculty and only
after a running fight, in which revolyers
we're freely used. Deputy Sheriff Canning
went TO Avoca and found that the fellow
under arrest was not any one OF the es-
capped prisoners.
How the prisoners succeeded in opening
the lock OF the corridor was explained
yesterday morning, by the finding OF the
paddock on the bunk in one OF the cells OF
the revolving cylinder. In 1t was a key
with which the paddock had been unlocked
This key had been made from the handle

ALLOWS THE SMALLPOX BILLS
Hereafter County VIII Require City
to Render an ItemiEed
Statement.

Bills incurred for the care OF smallpox
patients occupied the attention OF the
County Board of Supervisors the greater
part Of yesterdays session. With the ex-
ception of a few small bills for the rent
Of houses occupied by smallpox patients
during the period Of their quarantine the
board allowed all of the bills presented by
the city Board of Health.
Hereafter under the new law the city
will have to keep an itemized account OF
the expenses incurred in each individual
case. and this will entail much work upon
the city clerk, who is also clerk OF the
health board. In view Of this II is not
unlikely that the city council will decide
on having the superior court removed
from the county courthouse to the city
building, in order that the deputy city
clerk, who acts as clerk OF the superior
court, may be employed to assist the city
clerk, Under the present arrangement the
clerk Of the superior court does not have
as a rule one hours work a day to do, and
the position has long been a veritable sine
cure. The question Of removing the
superior court. It Is expected will be
brought before the city council at its next
meeting by Alderman Mcdonald. The
county, It is said. will raise no objection
to the removal OF the superior court, as
the rooms now occupied by it can be used
and In fact are needed for the aecommoda.

Cost of the Water Works.
EDITOR HERALD:

EDITOR HERALD.
If L. B. Benn is reported correctly
there should be a committee of investiga-
ton appointed at once. He says the
water works cost $4,000. The water
bonds, which his father sold in the east,
represented $500 OF this sum $l5 900
was paid for old iron to the original
water company, in which Sam Benn, at
the time mayor OF Aberdeen, was stock
holder. $4,000 purchased the site, and
$2S 600 we are told paid for the plant.
Where is the $4,000 which is not ac-
counted for?
Perhaps the young man is needlessly
severe ON his father; still, could this
$4,000 be unearthcd it would level the
bluff Oh street; build good street to
the High school and another to the
cemetery buy the South Aberdeen water
plant; furnish all the improvements
asked for by Councilman Leitch and
others in that vicinity; cover the cost OF
condemning + street; clean up Paradise
alley; create sinking fund to pay wit
ness fees to his honor; and furnish
oysters and champagne for the mayor
and council during the remainder of their
term. Oh, consistency thou art jewel !,
After this expose the fellow scores the
council by requesting to be placed on
record as being more righteous than
they. JAMES STEWART.

Found Her Children.

About two years ago MIR. and Mrs. A
Falkski, natives OF Poland, left their two
little girls at the Sisters hospital in this
CITY, and went to Pennsylvania, where
the parents of Mrs. Falkski reside. Lat
er the father of the children went to
Alaska, and from there has regularly
sent money for the support of the child
ren.
When the train arrived from the east
Monday Polish woman alighted, and
informed agent Diefendorf, that she had
come from Pennsylvania in search OF her
two Young daughters, and that she only
knew they were in Western Washington
but did not know the name of the town 3;
that the officials OF the TOAD at Tacoma
had sent her to Pc Ell, and the Catholic
priest there had sent her to Aberdeen.
The woman was somewhat excited,
but not more so than would be expected
of mother in search OF her children
and the agent sent her to the Sisters OF
It. Dominic, where she was found to be
the mother of the Falkski girls left there
two wears before When taken to her
children she at once became calm, but
evidently was slightly demented and
could not give no clearer account OF her
self than that she had been left with
her parents by her husband, and in some
manner had became possessed OF $50 and
started in search of her children.
Mrs. Falkski seems perfectly satisfied
since she found her children, and wishes
to obtain work to support herself in
Aberdeen Meanwhile the husband will
be notified at Douglas, City, Alaska.
The peculiar feature OF the case is that
the husband and father should have
provided for the care OF the mother and
children so far apart from each other.

DISLIKES DISCUSSION.

Some of the Harbor papers are anxious
to have the papers in this part OF the
county to take up the discussion OF the
county seat question. AS far as the Vi
det,e is concerned this paper is devoting
its energies to giving the news OF the
county and has no time or space tor dis
cussing unnecessary subjects. II the
county question ever comes up to vote
the Harbor papers will get all the discus
sion they want.-Nldette.
Our neighboring contemporary has
taken new tack, and it is commend
able one, of it's former abusive effusions
on this subject can be considered as dis
cussing matter. Abuse OF the opposite
side in any discussion is always sign
of weakness OF argument, and usually
reacts in a manner detrimental to the
side adopting it.
However the matter lis before the
public, and petition is being prepared
that will make it question to be decid-
eb at the general election, so that the
curt dismis sal of the subject by the Vi
dette does not alter the fact nor lessen
it's importance. The threat contained in
the concluding sentence OF the paragraph
quoted may be constructed to mean that
the Vidette would perfer to leave the
discussion OF the county seat removal I'M
til tbe stress OF the political campaign,
when the real issues in this matter may
become befoged in the struggle Tor office.
In our judgement the subject should re-
receive the fullest consideration, soley
upon it's merits, and apart from political
considerations, and if the press OF this
section is anxious to have that discus
sion now, it is because that they believe
that as measure for the public good
there is no valid argument that can be
maintained against the proposition.

Advertising Hints.

Intermittent, spasmodic and scatter
ing advertising cannot be made to pay.
Steady effort is necessary if you would
win success.
Make your advertisements the eyes
through which the reader sees your
goods. Accurate, interesting description
and clever illustrations will do it,
The man wholwas kicked in the face
by mule was disfgured for life, but he
had heap more common sense after
the kicking. Some logic can be applied
to advertising. Do mot stand behind
the public. if you do you're likely to be
kicked. Get:out in front. Set the pace.
Let others follow.
A grain and seed man advertise HIM
self as follows: We don't guarantee our
grass seed to grow unless you SOW it
properly and water it generously. The
trouble is not with the seed, but the
way you take care OF it. This might
apply also to advertising, The atten-
ton you give it is the whole thing.
Start your ad. with a good strong
headline whenever possible. Take the
newspaper editors experience for a
criterion. The big news story has big
"head black type, in four or five Sec
tons likely. literally spaced out with
white and dashes. That is the way the
editor impressess the reader with the
Importance of the reading matter that
follows. And he does it.
