A hole in the brick wall Of the cell oc-

reveals the method OF escape. The wall
is about foot in thickness and the floor
of the cell is of equal thickness. covered
with concrete. The tunnel was dug at
the junction of the wall and the floor,
sloping outwardly until 1t formed con-
nection with an air chant n about two ;
feet below and a foot outwardly from
the corridor wall of the cell. Thru this
air chamber the prisoners crawled about
forty feet to where it opened into the
boiler room, the opening being covered
by an iron grating. This obstacle was
overcome by the use Of saws and the
prisoners had then only to walk out OF
the back door OF the boiler room, across
the yard and scale the board fence. A

temporarily safe retreat. The prison.

of two who were on duty on the wall
overlooking the corridor, were eating
dinner in the dining room. AS soon as
the escape was discovered Warden Pai-

Ducktown, Tenn. Jan. 20.-Another
iniunction has been granted against the
Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and Iron
Company on account of sulphur smoke
and fumes that are emitted from their

dolph Adams, general manager OF the
company here that when the Injunction
is served upon him he is to close down
the entire works and mines and pay OH
and discharge every man.
This would be calamity to the peo-
ple of Ducktown. Hundreds of families
are too poor to procure transportation
from Ducktown, and they would be
forced to walk to other towns.

ton visible among the members In ia
yor of tinkering with the muict law.
The silence of Governor Cummins on
that subject Is regarded by many as IN
dicating that no changes in the law can
be effected at this session.
There is some agitation among profess
sional lobbyists over the denunciation
of the lobby by Governor Cummins' Une

certain interests here said on this SUD-
ject:
cit seems to me that the governor was
unnecessarily severe on the lobbyists
Some of them have a legitimate place,

haps more conspicuous. AS rule they
have no influence and expect to have
none. but they live like leeches off the
corporations and the members. The
strong words of Cummins will call at
tention to these barnacles and the legis-
lature ought to be freer on that ac-
count"
A bill has been prepared and VIII be
introduced early in the session aiming
at the crime of wife desertion. 1t Will
not be urged as a measure of philan-
thropy or solely as a measure of justice,
but primarily as q means of lessening
the burden of caring for the deserted
ones who are generally left helpless.
The bill provides that "it shall be un-
lawful for any man in this state to will
fully neglect. fail or refuse to provide
reasonable support and maintenance for
his wife. If entitled to and in need there
of. and for his minor children who may
need such support and maintenance.
unless it Shall satisfactorily appear
that owing to physical incapacity. or
for other good causes. he is unable to
furnish such support" 1t is provided
that the magistrate may accept in lieu
of a sentence bond from the person to
give the support to his family, and 1t is
provided that warrants may be issued
on the application of the injured persons
or others. The bill has received the
sanction of many county officials of the
state who have seen the enormous cost
of maintaining families where the hus-
band and father has deserted and left
the state. Wife desertion has become q
common thing in Iowa There is no
law now to prevent It except where the
marriage has been compulsory. The bill
will be strongly supported.
s*s
It appears that Col. Hepburn has
things other than canal digging to
bother his mind. Fletcher Howard. of
the pharmacy board, who is a promi-
nent member of the National Pharma-
ceutical Association. is sending out to
Pharmacists in Col. Hepburn's district
copies of bill to amend the laws relat-
ing to hospital stewards in the army
and navy. and the pharmacists are ask
ed to write Hepburn indorsing the bill.
Tt is a measure to give the hospital
rank and pay as profession
ais. They dispense medicines, but the
door is wide open for appointment OF
anybody to these positions. The phar-
macists believe that competent men
should be employed by the government
to dispense medicines as we'll as coupe
tent men to prescribe the medicines.
The bill aims to remedy manifest de-
feet of long standing in fthe laws.
