HIS SECOND BREAK
Jumbo" Carlson, in for Vagran.
cy, Makes Attempt at
Jail Delivery.
TRANSFORMS COMB INTO A KEY
Crowd Follows and Forces Him TO
Take Refuge in a
Barn.

Jumbo" Carlson, the well-known
Moline character, who has been
spending most of his time of late in
the county Jail on some charge or
other, today attempted his second
JAN delivery within perod of few
months. He was less successful than
on the former occasion, however, be-
ing recaptured by Sheriff Heider af-
ter chase of few blocks and is
now back in Jail, where he will be
kept in close confinement.
Carlson is in for vagrancy and he
was sent down from Moline early in
the winter for period of six months.
he still has four months to serve.
Soon after he had been committed he
scaled the wall of the workhouse
and got away. The weather being
very cold, however, he returned to his
old haunts and was recaptured at the
end of a week.
The approach of spring seems to
have stirred within him during the
past few days renewed desire for
liberty and he exercised considerable
ingenuity in his unsuccessful attempt
to regain it.
Was Kept IrOned.
Since being brought back after his
former attempt he has not been al
lowed outside of the grated bars with
out leg iron attached to him to
handicap him in the event that he at
tempted to run away. From seeing
the iron put on and taken off by his
guard Carlson became familiar with
the shape of the key and he decided
to make one for his own private use.
So he obtained an aluminium comb
and with patience that would be COM
mendable i'm worthier cause he rub
bed it on the stones of the prison till
he had gotten it in shape, finishing
the operation with a sharp piece of
steel that he appears to have taken
from the sole of shoe.
At noon today he was taken out
into the jail yard ironed as usual, and
getting out of sight he used his key
to free himself and then ran back
through the kitchen. raising a win
dow and getting out ON the street
He might have escaped had it not
been for the fact that he was noticed
by boys as he ran away from the Jail
and a crowd was quickly in pursuit
He wound back and forth and tried
to dodge out of sight, but to no avail,
Finally he wound up in David Don's
barn between Second and Third ave
nues on Thirteenth street. where
Sheriff Heider, who had Joined the
pursuit, effected his recapture.

PROSPECTS GOOD
Steamboat Men Look for Pros.
porous Season on the
Upper River.
GOOD STAGE OF WATER EXPECTED
City OF Winona Now Ready to Open
Season in Clinton
Trade.

Steamboat men report the prospect
excellent for a good season on the
upper river Last year at the begin
ming of the season, particularlysa low
stage of water interfered somewhat
with the steamboat business, but this
year there is plenty of water and the
indications seem to favor n higher
stage throughout the season than
prevailed last. The boats were well
patroniZed last year and with a con-
tinuation of general prosperity the
river men expect to do unusually we'll.
Capt. Charles Ferris and Engineer
Warren Balm, of Montrose, have ar
rived in the city to superintend the
repairing of the packet E1oise. New
smOkestacks are being put in place
and a general overhauling is in prog
ress at the Kahllle boat %ard. As
soon as she is in condition she will be
placed in the trade between Keokuk
and Burlington.
Leave to Man the Young.
Capt. Walter Blair and crew of the
w. j. Young departed this morning
for Keokuk to prepare for the begin
ming of the season between here and
burlington next Wednesday. The
boat viii he gotten out of the canal,
where she spent the winter, Monday
and will arrive at this point during
Wednesday.
The City of WinOna is all ready at
the Kahlke boat yard to take to the
water and begin the season between
Rock Island, Davenport and Clinton,
and Capt. Streckfus is anxious to get
her out as soon as possible. There
will be some delay. however. on ac-
count of other boats being between
the City of Winona and the wafer. so
that she cannot be launched till they
are moved.

The Late New Hampshire Legislature.

The largest appropriations in the
history of the New Hampshire legis-
lature weresmade at the session which
ended April 2. Half a million will be
expended in addition to the money for
the ordinary purposes of running the
affairs of state.
More than 100000 was appropri-
ated for roads, 100000 for the state
hospital, $4,000 each for Dartmouth
and state colleges, S4S,000 for a ma
tional guard armory at Manchester,
$4,000 for the state school for feeble
minded, $25, 900 for the soldiers home,
$4,000 commission on state claims
collected at Washington, $4,000 each
for the state prison, the state indus
trial schools, a state fish hatchery and
fish screens and to indemnify the own
ers of cattle killed on account of the
foot and mouth disease. The appro-
priation for the representation of the
state at the ST. Louis exposition was
killed in the Senate. Among other
important measures that did not pass
were bills to prevent the practise of
Christian Science, to establish hours
of labor at 5S a week, to authorize va
rious bond issues of the New Hamp-
/ shire traction company, to regulate
the operation of automobiles and mo-
! tor vehicles and to charter an electric
railroad from Laconia to Concord.
The Legislators made more radical
changes in the policy of the state
than any similar body for many years.
The law prohibiting the sale of intox-
icating liquors which had been on the
statute books for more than SO years,
was repealed and a local option Ii
cense law enacted in its place and the
prohibitory law strengthened for no
license places. The dependent in
sane, which have been cared for in
most cases in the county almshouses
were placed in the charge of the state
and will be gradually moved to the
state hospital at Concord. Jacob H
Gallinger was elected for third full
term in the United States Senate, an
honor without precedent in the his
tory of the state. A new apportion
ment for the assessment of the state
tax was established and the tax re
duced from $425,000 to 100000 q
year. The legislature refused to es
tablsh a new state normal school, but
increased the annual appropriation
for the present school $4,000 a year
The school attendance laws were
made more strict and study of the
constitution of the state and natioI
made compulsory in the public
schools. Deer hunters from out O
the state will be required to take ou
a license and bounty was placed OF
hedgehogs.

The anti.imperialsts have given the
impression that they are animated by
loftiest patriotism and the most eX-
alted ideals, and that they yearn
for an opportunity to sacrifice them
selves for the good of humanity,
Fred c. Chamberlain, in his book en-
titled "A Blow from Behind" turns
the rays upon this inside-fringe circle
in a way which does not reveal a sol
id mass OF royal purple coloring. He
saws that all of the seven officers were
able-bodied men at the time of the
civil war. but not one of them shoul-
dered a musket to help put down the
rebellion. OF the 80 vice presidents
only two were old soldiers and they
were commissioned officers. OF the
203 anti.imperialists who sat on the
platform at nine meetings in Boston
all were able-bodied and eligible for
duty in the civil war. but only three
fought for the preservation of the
country. The Springfield Union is
right in saying that these men talk
wildly of human liberty 10000 miles
away. but they wouldn't lift a finger
for it here at home when they had a
chance" Judged by their deeds in
comparison with their words it is time
to stop calling them antiimperialists.
They are stay-at-home patriots who
fight with their mouths.

The Importance of Our Fishing In
terests.

The solons at Montpelier will some
day awake to the desirabiity Of grant
ing something more than a meagre
appropriation for our fish and game
interests. They now give $4,000 a
year for this important work. The
fishing interests alone would give a
handsome return on an annual ap-
preparation Of $4,000 New Hamp-
shire and Maine have recognized the
great attraction Of good fishing to the
summer tourists and are now spend
ing thousands of dollars yearly in
this direction. II is safe to say that
the change in the condition of fishing
at Caspian lake, brought about
largely by the attention of the Yer
mont fish commissioners to that
water and the cooperation Of the peo-
pie in that region. brings to Green's
boro and surrounding towns each
year more money than the entire
amount which the legislature is will
ing to spend in appropriations for
fish and game interests combined.
The men who laugh and sneer at the
idea of scientific propagation of fish
ing might find an object lesson if
they would in a recent bulletin sent
out from Washington. The shad is
a native of the Atlantic coast waters,
and 90 years ago a shad had never
been seen on the Pacific coast. The
experiment was tried of shipping sew
eral tanks Of young shad to the Col
umbia and Sacramento rivers. The
fish multiplied in their new home, and
are now taken abundantly in their
season all the way from Los Angeles
to Sitka. Alaska. The value of the
shad caught on the Pacific coast each
year now is equal to the total amount
of money appropriated annually for
the support of the entire fish com
mission of the United States.

License in Middlebury.

License was to be the panacea to
promote temperance and sobriety,
abolish hypocrisy, improve business
conditions, etc. etc. 1t was to turn
Vermont into a park Middlebury
was the first town TO get its thirst par
lors into operation. The park" there
seems TO have been a Donnybrook
fair The inability of the bacchanal-
ian knights to control their appetites
eliminated Saturday night in such
scenes of disorder that the Logan
House bar was closed at o'clock,
three hours before the time limit.
Then the throng sought solace at the
Addison House. A despatch to the
Boston Herald says:
The finale came with a rush and left
broken teeth. faces and other sections of
anatomy in its trail. AS a result States
Attorney James b. Donoway has been
busy all day issuing warrants, having
made out Is and having 10 more to serve.
The disgraceful scenes are due mainly
to the fact that this is the only town in
the county which has opened barrooms
as vet. and this brought in a throng OF
thirsty farmers and laborers from sur
rounding towns on Saturday, who start
ed in at once TO get intoxicated. A
woman passing along Washington street
Saturday evening stumbled over a
drunken man lying across the sidewalk,
and was thrown into violent Mysteries.
one OF the village trustees informs the
Herald correspondent that the police
force will be increased, and instructions
will be issued to arrest every person
found intoxicated. Several men for
whom warrants have been issued have
decamped for New York state.

Decision Against Rutland Labor
Union.

The decision for the F. r. Patch
Manufacturing company of Rutland
to recover $2500 damages from Pro
lection lodge. No. 215, International
Association of Machinists, is likely to
establish a precedent with far-reach-
ing effects. In his charge to the jury
Judge Seneca Haselton recognized the
rights of the employees of the COM
pany TO form unions, to stop work and
to strike. He also said that the fact
that a strike resulted in damage to
a company would not be in itself a
basis 10 recover damages from strik-
ers. II three or more persons com
bine together 10 do a lawful act by
lawful means and one of them, with
out the expressed or implied consent
or approval of the others uses unlaw-
full means for accomplishing that pur'
pose. the rest are not liable for dam
ages. In his exhaustive review OF
the subject Judge Haselton made
other points highly favorable to the
strikers. and he said that men who
go out on a strike may ask others not
TO take their work. but if the strikers
by intimidation or coercion hinder ol
prevent men from entering the EN-
ploy of the company the company is
entitled to recover damages. The
gist of the whole matter is that the
strikers made themselves liable in
preventing other men from working
