Praises for KessIer Hospital.

Mrs. Mary a. Park who has been to
the Kessler Hospital, Clarkburg, and
had an operation for thermoid cyst
or abcess, has been at home for overa
week is doing we'll. She is improving
in strength and flesh and she is walk

cission isstill discharging some, yctit
is healing gradually. Mrs. Parks
spoke in the highest terms OF the ply
sicians and nurses atthe hospital. AL
though this was very dillcult and
doubtful case on account Of her long
sickness and reduced physical condi.
ton yet the operation seems to be a
success and she thinks everything was
done for her that could have been done
by any institution. The success OF

Squeezed Out /.

Over and was Pulled Through

Two Others Escap.
ed With Him.

James Kirkpatrick, Henry Lowery
and Lemuel Wyman ESCAPED jail at 3
o'clock Monday morning. The man
ner Of their escape was remarkable.
Some time ago the famous Edwards.
before he was taken to thepenitenti-
airy, cut hole in the door Of his cell.
This had not been repaired, as the
floor outside was somewhat above IL
and caused the hole not to bevery at
tractive as an avenue for escape.
Kirkpatrick and his fellow prisoners
got possession Of a coal cbisel in some
unknown manner and used that and a
railing Of their bed, which they tore
to pieces, to pry the floor up. After
having succeeded in lifting the floor
Lowery and Wyman crawled out, but
kirkpatrick, being a corpulcnt fellow,
had to resort to extreme measures.
He undressed himself until he was
stark naked and the other fellows
soaped him from head to foot. Then,
they pulled him through the hole.
The operation was most excruciating
and he groaned fearfully, while they
we're pulling him through the hole,
which was only II inches wide and
15a inches long, but his eagerness TO
obtain his liberty caused him to urge
them not to desist, and eyenf he had
wanted them to quit, they could not
after having begun, as he would have
been left plnioned between the bars.
After getting into the corridor it
was an easy matter to tear hole in
the east Jail wall and crawl out.
They disappeared Immediately and
may never be heard of again, as men
who resort TO such novel methods TO
gain their liberty are not likely to be
caught mapping.
kirkpatrick had been a party to
several attempts at jail delivery since
his Incarceration. He is the fellow
who took possession Of a Short Line
train at Wallace several weeks ago,
and was in jail on that charge.
Lowery was in jail on the charge of
trying to bride to young Harbert boys,

ing robbed one of them OF So here

yc' the Herald places them in that
class called "placld and innocent on
the outside; hideoas, repulsive and
dangerous at its core"
Our county court has been made up
OF such citizens as Quinn Minter, A j
Lodge, B B Stout, John f Sturm, S S
FarIs and F w Cunningham, all pro-
gresslve farmers and men who have
had at heart the best interests Of their
fellow men and the welfare of every
taxpayer.
Again the Herald, in its wild dellri-
um, may have bad In mind our several
assessors. But certainly they belong
&c ahigher order OF animals than the
"ring' would use In its greed to "rlle
the pockets Of our taxpayers. AS
SCISSORS it's up to you! Stand up and
give an account Of your many misdeeds.
Here they are. They don't look like
culprlts either. Answer to your names
gentlemen: Jesse NJ Hagerty, Jack
Alexander, NJ X Baker, Jesse 6 Law
son, Francis NJ Davis, Will Hughes
and Rev Hammond. These men have
besnupright In private life and faith
full and conscientious as county OIL
cials. Are these the men the Herald
calls genealogical specimens, labeled
republicans.n Probably they alude
to N B Newton, our present efficient
county superintendent. Or it may
have been Judge Edwin Maxwell,
Stuart Reed and Harvey Harmer,
each Of whom in their turn have re-
ceiyed the solid support of the county
for state senate.
Have the so called aringsters" any
candidates in the field at this time?
Willthe Herald tellus, that we may
know the ring" candidates for clerk
OF circuit court, members Of legisla-
ture and county superintendent?
Itseems TO us that the esteemed
Herald is slandering many good repub
licans, just because it don't like v. L.
Highland, the man whom it has pro-
claimed as Zone of the most efficient
and accommodating clerks the county
has ever had"
The Highlands were among the first
settlers in this county. There are
many of them and they are all repub-
licans. The present county clerk is
the only instance Of one Of this large
family name being selected for an i'm
portant county Office. The fact that
he has held one term and proven him
self faithful servant of the people,
does not justify the Herald in its abu-
sive course.
Some of the officers OF the Herald
company represent families who have
had some OF their members In import
ant Offices in this county constantly
for over thirty years.
Would that grand republican, Maj.
A. G. Moore, have held the Office of
prosecuting attorney for twenty years,
had 1t not been the desire OF the
people that he serve them? Will the
Herald kindly name those terrible
geological specimens" who have held
office in defiance of popular support?
Is there any foundation for this cry Of
agony which comes from few disap
pointed souls? Are they not descrb-
ing the kind OF an octopus which they
themselves hope to fasten upon the
people OF Harrison county?

Secretary Shaw VIII Take Steps to Ease
Up the Money Market.

Secretary ShaW VIII Take steps to Ease
Up the Money Market.
Washington, Aug. S0.LIf view of
runners as to Secretary shaw's plans for
relieving the money market in the
event of possible stringency, the sec
retary, who is now in New York, has
authorized Assistant Secretary Allies to
make the following statement:
''The secretary recently invited some
of the larger national banks in the prin-
cipal cities to order additional amounts
OF circulating notes to be printed.
National banks are entitled to issue
notes to the full amount of their capi-
tai. The aggregate capital of national
banks is 500, 900, 900, but the banks
have outstanding only $35S, 900, 900 OF
circulation, The secretary has hoped
to introduce an element of elasticity
into the present system. His sugges-
tions to the various banks in the larger
cities that they make preparation for
additional circulation have met with
very favorable response. 1t is not his
intention that they should issue this
additional circulation at all, now, but
only in case of actual necessity and
emergency. With this in view, those
banks which have made arrangements
to deposit United States bonds as se-
curity for such additional circulation
have sent in their orders and the sec
retary has had all branches of the
treasury service busily engaged in ex-
pediting the preparation of the notes
pending possible emergency"

RIGHT OF BOARD QUESTIONED.
Three New Suits Over Oregon State School
Land Filings.

Salem, Or, Aug. 2S.-- Litigation
over the sale Of state school lands con-
tinue. Three separate mandamus suits
have Just been instituted against the
state land board by parties whose ap-
plication for the purchase Of certain
school lands We're not favorably acted
upon by the board. Circuit Judge
Boise issued an alternative writ Of
mandamus requiring the members Of
the board to appear in court ON Sept. 2
and show cause why the applications
OF the plaintiffs should not be granted.
NJ. L. Chamberlain, clerk Of the
board, says the suits pending have been
brought to compel it to cancel certifi-
Gates upon which there exists delin-
quency in the payments at the close OF
the second year following their execu-
tion. He says this is in violation of
the established rule Of the beard to
notify purchasers OF delinquencies that
may exist in their payments at the
close of the second year, and giving an
extension Of thirty days in which to
pay the same without costs being
added. The board does not cancel GER
tifcatea and resell any land until
three years after the original purchase.
The real question that il involved in
these suits is the right Of the land
board to establish its own rules for the
administration of its business. One
case, involving this question is'now be-
fore the supreme court. and there are
a half dozen other cases in the prelim-
mary stages of litigation in the Marion
county circuit court.

PRESIDENT BURT ARRESTED.
Ten Warrants Charge President Of Union
Pacific with False imprisonment.

Ten Warrants Charge President OF Union
Pacific with False imprisonment.
Omaha, Aug. 28.--President Horace
g. Burt, Of the Union Pacific railway,
has been placed under arrest on ten
warrants, charging him, jointly with
W. Arnett, an indianapolis labor agent,
with false Imprisonment. President
Burt went to police headquarters and
gave a bond for 81 900 for his appear
ance in court In the morning.
The warrants were sworn out BY men
who were members Of party brought
here by the road Sunday morning. They
came from indianapolis and were in
charge Of Arnett. Lewis Lord swore
to the charges in one OF the warrants.
He said the men had been employed by
Arnett to work in the Union Pacific
shops at Denver. He says that when
they reaced Council Bluffs they were
locked in the car and armed guards
posted at the doors to prevent their es-
cape. They were kept in the car until
they reached the shops in this city,
where they were given their liberty.
Lord asserts that many Of them are
married and left good positions, and
were told that no strike existed on the
road
