Words fail to express the deep regret
IN chronicling this sad death OF our
esteemed friend and neighbor, May
Newcom, loved by all on account of her
pure life, surrounded always with the
mantle of charity which was expressed
daily toward her neighbors and friends.
For several years she has been great
sufferer and her example "Christ like"
was one of patience and forbearance
and amidst her suffering was ever
cheerful and endured with hope that
she would soon be better. Her great
anxiety for years has been that she
might be spared to her family. But
the poor wsak form could endure no
longer aud she passed peacefully at
rest on Sunday morning. She ap-
preciated the kindness of her usband g
parents in untold words, who always
expressed the same interest and care
for her as one of their own flesh and
blood and nothing remained undone
that human aid could do for her pleas
ure and comfort. She and her husband

ing contribution to the discussion of
the isthmian canal project was made
In the senate yesterday by Harris
(kan.), a member of the committee

was entirely feasible and practicable
from an engineering standpoint, and
said that some of the difficulties pre-
sented by the Panama route were in
superab able-notably the construction
OF the Bohio dam.

sidered. All of the committee amend
ments were disposed of, except that
relating to the construction of two ad-

screen We're iron bars. The space be-
tween these bars was too small to al.
low the passage of even small boy
and behind them were gathered
crowd OF men, whose numbers were
afterwards found to be between
twenty-five and thirty. Escape in
other directions was Impossible. So
fiercely did the prisoners tug at the
screen that from the street below
streams of blood could be seen trick
ling from lacerated hands and flowed
over the window sill. number OF
the men at the window were in
straight Jackets and manacles and
those, not being able to help them
selves or others, were the widest of
all in their frantic efforts to break
through the bars. As the flames came
steadily toward the MEN the people
in the street jumped UP and down and
screamed in helpless rage. 1t seemed
as though nothing could be done and
that all the men would die within
Six inches OF freedom.

That any of the men escaped is ow-
Ing to the work OF w. g. Davis of
Cedar Rapids, Ia, patient in the in
stitution. He induced the men to
cease their disconnected pulling at
| the screen and to unite their efforts.
After few desperate pulls they man
aged to tear down the screen and
then the bars. Then a new danger
assailed the prisoners. The crowd
/ behind, hearing that at last the way
was open, pushed forward with such
1 haste that those nearest the window
! were nearly forced through to meet
death on the sidewalk four stories be-
low. The first man through was DIR. G.
A. Anderson of Chicago. No ladders
were in front of the window and An
/ derson's one hope was to rettch the
platform of fire escape in front of
the window just west of where he
was. He hesitated for an instant and
then sprang for the fire escape,
clutched 1t and was safe. The next
man through was G. S. Gott of La

Every volcano upon the crust Of the

is that volcano in Utah is now IN

to smoke a little now and then, and
there is. fable about a volcano that
