A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the careful and prudent housewife re- plenishes her supply Of Chamberlains Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is con tracted and before it has become set tied in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giv- ing it to children for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures. For sale by all drug gists.

London, June 9.-The war Office re.
ceived the following message from
Lord Kitchener:
s"The disarmament of the Beers is
proceeding satisfactorily and good
spirit is displayed everywhere. Yes
terday 4.342 rifles had been surren-
,dered up to date"
Dispatches received by the Associ-
ated Press from Pretoria confirm the
statements made in Lord Kitchener's
communication to the war Office and
say that the whole staff of the late
Transvaal government, with body
guard of fifty men, surrendered last
Saturday.
= Among the men who surrendered to
the British authorities at Balmoral
Cape Colony, were four Americans,
who will be granted free passage to
Delagoa bay.
A few of the Boer women still in.
weigh against surrender, but the gen.
eral feeling among them is in favor
of making the best of the situation.
Throughout the dominions of the
British empire, and especially in all
the principal towns of South Africa
thanksgiving services for the return
of peace We're held yesterday. Lord
Kitchener attended thanksgiving ser.
vice at Pretoria, at which 5000 British
troops were present.

Vote of 175 to SO.

Washington. June 10.-The house
yesterday passed the bill to protect
the president, vice president, mem.
bers of the cabinet and foreign minis
tiers and ambassadors and to suppress
the teaching of anarchy, by vote Of

voted to the bill to transfer certain
forest reserves from the interior de-
partment to the agricultural depart
ment and to authorize the creation in
such reserves of game and fish pre-
serves. President Roosevelt in his
annual message recommended such a
measure. The minority of the public
lands committee offered as substitute
for the bill measure which eliminat-
ed that portion of the bill which trans
fers the reserves to the agricultural
department. Lacey Qa.), Kleberg
(Tex.), Perkins IN. W and Williams
(Miss.) spoke in favor of the bill.
Mondell (Wyo.) and Shafroth (Colo.)
supported the minority substitute.

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 DR.. G.
A. Anderson of Chicago. No ladders
were in front Of the window and An
derson's one hope was to reach the
platform of a 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 it and was safe. The next
man through was G. S. Colt of La
vergne, Ill. Anderson was so much
exhausted that he was not able to
drag Colt after him and Colt was so
badly burned that he was not able to
make the leap himself Clinton Os-
borne, a real estate dealer of New
York city, was the third man. He
crawled out beside Colt and told the
men inside to grasp his feet. This
they did and telling Colt to take hold
of his wrists and drop over the win
dow sill, Osborne hanging head down
ward swung Colt to and fro until he
had acquired sufficient momentum and
then swung him up and on to the land
ing of the fire escape, where DR.. An
derson seized and held him, and he
and Colt then formed a chain, Colt
holding to the fire escape and Ander-
son, tightly held by Colt with one
hand, reaching out toward the win
dow, so that the men one by one as
they crawled through were able to
take one step on ledge and make a
short leap to the platform of the fire
escape, down which they made their
way to the ground twenty-five men
made their escape in this manner.

BATTLE In PRISON
TWO CONNECTS KILL THREE
GUARDS AND ESCAPE.
Desperadoes Scale Prison Walls and
Flee to Timber, Pursued by Large
Posse-Met Who Get Away Are
Heavily Armed. and Desperate.

Salem, Ore, June 1O.-Two desper-
ate prisoners, Harry Tracy, sentenced
to twenty years, and David Merrill, a
thirteen-year man, serving sentences
for assault and robbery, escaped from
the penitentiary yesterday after kill
ing three guards, Frank Terrell, S. r.
Jones and Ben Tiffany
The prisoners, employed in the
foundry, were marched to work at z
o'clock and had entered the molding
room. with Guard Terrell inside and
Guard Stapleton in an adjoining room.
Without warning Tracy and Merrill
appeared with rifles. Tracy aimed at
Ferrell, when Ingram, life prisoner,
attempted to reach and disarm
Tracy. Instantly Merrill shot Ingram
and Tracy shot Terrell, the latter dy-
ing almost instantly. Tracy and Mer-
,Sill scaled the wall by means of a
ladder Tiffany was also shot and he
dropped off the fence, engaging the
fugitives in a fight. His gun was soon
empty, and he was taken by the con-
victs and used as a shield while they
made for the timber When out of
range of the prison they stopped and
deliberately killed Tiffany, escaping
into the timber Immediately. Duncan
Ross, another guard, was on the fence
with Tiffany and the convicts shot at
him, one bullet striking him in the
forehead, inflicting slight scalp
wound. A large force of men is now
out searching for the fugitives, who
are known to be in the timber be-
tween the prison and the reform
school. The prison authorities offer
$1,000 reward for the capture of the
prisoners. The three guards killed
had families. Great excitement pre-
walls in this city and scores of men
are leaving for the woods.
A farmer has just reported that he
saw the fugitives in the woods near
the reform school, four miles west of
the city.

Mob Fails to Get Prisoner,

Hartman, Tenn, June 9.-Yester
day evening the wife of Jack Bailey,
a we'll known farmer, was found dead
at her home, having been brutally as
saulted. An investigation showed
strong suspicion that the crime was
committed by George Robert, aged
fourteen, a colored servant, who was
arrested. A large crowd of deter.
mined and angry men were gathered
at the bridge, bent on lynching the
negro, but the officers had just started
to the Kingston Jail with him through
the woods. If the crowd discovers
they have gone it is feared they will
overtake them and then nothing can
prevent lynching.

Present Average of Spring Wheat Ex-
ceeded Only Thrice in IS Years.
Washington. June 11.-Preliminary
reports of the spring wheat acreage
indicate reduction of about 2,511.0OO
acres, or 1913 per cent. OF the nine
teen states reporting spring wheat,
thirteen report reduced acreage.
Washington being the only state hav-
ing 100000 acres or upward in this
product that reports an increase.
There is reduction of 100000 acres
in South Dakota, resulting in the main
from an increasing tendency towards
a greater Investigation of crops, and
a reduction of 100000 acres in Ne
braska, consequent upon the gradual
yielding of spring wheat to winter
wheat, which is going on in almost
every section of the state
The average condition of spring
wheat on June 1 was 954 as compared
with 80 at the corresponding date last
year, and a ten year average of 92.6
The present reported average condi-
ton has been exceeded only three
times in the last fifteen years. OF the
states having one million acres or up
wards in spring wheat, South Dakota
reports condition of 100, North Da-
kota SO and Minnesota and Iowa 95
The average condition of winter
wheat on June was 76.1, as COM
pared with 1854 on May 1, 1902.
The total reported acreage in oats
is about four-tenths of 1 per cent in
excess of the acreage harvested last
year. Pennsylvania, Indiana Iowa
and Nebraska report a decrease
which only in the last mentioned state
exceeds / per cent. The average condi-
ton is 90.6, against, S5.3 on June /,
1901, and ten year average of go.
OF the states having 100o acres or
upwards in oats, Michigan reports 2,
Iowa 8, Illinois s. and Wisconsin 6
points above and Nebraska point
I below its respective ten year average.
There has been marked improve
| ment in the condition of spring past
ure during the past month. An i'm
| provement of two points is noted in
Ohio, Is in Missouri, II in Iowa, 10 in
Kansas. 20 in South Dakota, % in Ne
braska and 26 in Minnesota.

London, June 9.-The noisy jubila.
ton with which London has resounded
for the last week was succeeded by
the less noisy demonstrations of
thankfulness for the return of peace
in South Africa. The thanksgiving
services held in London yesterday
were typical of the services held
throughout the empire, but the pres
ence of King Edward and other mem
bers of the royal family at the princi-
pal devotional service in London,
and the progress of the royal person
ages to and from St. Paul's cathedral
through cheering thousands of British
subjects and visitors in London gave

the added feature of notable historic
occasion.

and a Half Wide and Fifty Miles
Long-Tornado in Iowa.
st. Paul, June IA tornado of
marked severity prevailed yesterday
evening over sections of Clay and
Becker counties and across the south
ern portions of the White Earth In
dian reservation. 1t is reported that
fifteen lives were lost, many people
injured and great damage done to
farm property, many dwellings, barns
and outbuildings being destroyed. The
region throughout which the storm
prevailed is comparatively sparsely
settled, and remote from telegraphic
communication and details of the
storm are therefore meager.
The list of dead includes the fol-
lowing: Mrs. o. A. Berg, wife of a
farmer living near Voss, killed by fall
ing timbers; four children of Andrew
Holm, living north of Ulen, killed by
collapse of their home.
The storm seems to have first
struck northwest of the town of Ulen,
in Clay county. whence it travelled
southeasterly across the northern
part of Becker county, striking the
towns of Foss, Atlanta and Walworth
along the lower edge of the White
Earth reservation. M
At Atlanta, a large Norwegian
Lutheran church was completely de-
molished and a number of other build
ings partially wrecked. The path of
the storm was about mile and half
wide and from thirty to fifty miles in
length. A great deal of live stock was
killed by the collapse of buildings.
The property damage from the effects
of the storm is estimated at 100000
