One Of the worst outlagss that
has been perpetrated upon the

"rules and regulations" for the

The department, or some one, has
blundered.
The rules and regulations sent
out over the signature Of the sec.
retsry Of the Interior, and distrib.
utsd broadcast over the country,
are rotten. A schoolboy could see
that they are not what they should
be when they we're sent ont. but
the authority Of the high and
mighty secretary was not TO be
questioned. The forms we're used /,
lands sold and the deeds made out.
Now comes the secretary's under

for the deeds will be changed; that
the affidAvits must be changed,
and that additional ones will be

The three prisoners have been in the
Jefferson county Jail for some months
awaiting the action. of the grand jury
on their case. They were arrested in
Van Buren, county on the charge of
burglarizing a Keosauqua residence
last spring, and upon preliminary hear

were brought to this city, where it
was thought they could be kept Sc

Escape CIeverIy Planned.
The prisoners had evidently been
planning their escape for some time
for the place where they got through
the walls shows much diligent work
They had dug through brick wall
with no better instruments than a
piece Of wood from door and chair
leg. However, they had succeeded in
concealing the work from the officers
until the time came when they consid-
cred it safe to escape. Friday
night they got through the hole and the
fact that they had gone was not dis
covered until the turnkey started to
their cells to give them their break
fast this morning. The authorities in
the nearby cities and towns were no.
titled but as yet nothing has been
heard Of the fugitives.

f. J. Il
No thought was more strongly brought
out at this meeting or more fully
commended and applauded, than the
one that the newspaper is business
enterprise which should ask and
which in fact, deserves patronage sole
ly and entirely upon the grounds of
giving full value received for every
dollar invested with it. The question
of party patronage and patronage
along political lines is being more and
more eliminated from the considera-
ton of the successful newspaper man.
1t is with him a question of dollar
and cent value which he is able to fur
nish his patrons in the way of news
and advertising services, far more
than anything else. This does not
mean that newspapers are breaking
away from party lines, but that they
are evincing an independence within
party lines, and strength because of
the adoption of good business methods,
which is redounding to the benefit of
the press throughout the country. By
this progressive body of newspaper
men, no sentiment was more thorough
ly affirmed that that the successful
newspaper must be controlled by the
man who runs the paper, must be con-
sistently conducted in the interest of
the general public and must be abso-
lutely free from personalities and en-
tangling alliances of every charac-
ter.
The reception rendered the editor
ial delegates by the citizens of Omaha
was most cordial and gracious. Omaha
is great city and her enormous pack
ing industries and wholesale interests
make her the queen of the cities locat-
ed on the Missouri river.

MAKE LUCKY STRIKE.
oTTuMWANs STRIKE ONYX AND
ZINC IN OZARK MOUNTAIN
MINE.
Moark Mining Company Strikes valu-
able Deposit Of Zinc and Onyx in Ar
kansas Mine - Officers and Direc-
tors Reside Here.

An Ottumwa company has struck it
rich in the Ozark mountains in Ar
kansas and the next few days will
show the extent of the rich find Of
onyx and zinc which has within the
past week been discovered. The Mo-
ark Mining Co., is the name of the firm
which owns the mine and the officers
and board of directors are all South
Ottumwa parties. A bulletin has been
issued by e. H. Thomas, the secretary
of the company giving the news of the
discovery of onyx and zinc in the mine
from report given by the agent R.
Fl. Triniblc who is in charge of the
work at the time.
Accidental Find of Onyx.
Secretary Thomas in speaking of
the unexpected find of onyx in the
mine stated: "In our cut and tunnel
where we have been getting zinc only
our miners unexpectedly struck a bed
of onyx rock They first made an open
cut sixty feet long having a twenty
feet fall of rock at the end of the cut.
Then they entered tunnel 7xS feet
and in entering this TUNED they struck
the onyx. They are now in the tunnel
about ten feet.
Onyx Valuable.
"The walls and roof of the tunnel are
of zinc-bearing rock and the floor or
bottom is solid layer of the onyx. This
onyx stone as you know, is used for
ornamental purposes in fine buildings
furniture. 1t is very valuable, small
piece of II being worth big money. The
state capitol is ornamented with it.
"A few other strikes have been made
in Arkansas but only few. We will
have a quantity Of the zinc and onyx
here in few days and if it is what we
expect, and We have no reason to
doubt it, the Moark company will have
made a great find. Our men are all old
miners and they know a good thing
when they find it."

KNOXVILLE AND FAIRFIELD
sHERlFFs EACH LOSE THREE
MEN.
TUNNEL THROUGH WALL
One Of the Trio Was Being Held On a
Serious charse-Their Recapture
Has Not Been Effected Though
BIoundhounds Are After Them. -

Knoxville, July Especially -
/ Without leaving behind them any
vsace to show which way they had
gone, and without letting fall whisper
of an indication beforehand that they
intended to leave their guardians in
the lurch, three prisoners who were
being held in the Marion county Jail,
one Of them on a very serious charge,
tunnelled through the wall of the
building yesterday. afternoon and
made their escape. When the sheriff
learned that they had made away
they had secured start of about five
hours and though bloodhounds were
at once secured and started on the
trail there is little hope of recapturing
the fugitiyes.
Cox Badly Wanted.
One Of the prisoners, Dan Cox, is
badly wanted by Sheriff L. L. Bybee.
Cox was being held in Jail in default
of 5000 bonds on the charge of attempt
ing to commit criminal assault upon
an aged woman of the city. The 9TH

not make much difference. as does that
of Cox. who would probably have
served time in the penitentiary had his
case come to trial.
Jail Unguarded.
The jail is situated at the edge OF
the town about half block from any
house and in rather out-of-the-way
place. AT one side is a deep slough
where, the men could easily hide and
which they could use to make their es-
cape very handily. This is probably
thesway they went out of the city
though there is no clue
to aid the officers in retermin-
ing where they went after
they got away from Knoxville. Since
Frank Baird, the alleged robber of the
Sullivans at Hamilton was taken to the
penitentiary, the Jail has been unguard-
ed by any officer, and the men were
fortunate in being left alone all day
and night except at meal times, when
the deputy sheriff carried their meals
to them. Though the Jail is compare
lively new one it is rather flimsy
affair and it is probable that the pris-
oaers had little trouble in digging a
hole through the wall.
Leave in the Afternoon
The deputy sheriff carried the mems
dinners to them at noon and though
he entered the jail he noticed nothing
unusual. He left the place and did
not return until supper time when he
found the Jail empty and the Atfds
flown. Investigation revealed big
hole in one of the side walls, showing
where the prisoners had made their
escape. 1t is presumed that they left
early in the afternoon, and had had
the mole prepared for their leave taking
when the officer was at the Jail.
Dogs on Trail.
Sheriff Bybee was notified of the Jail
delivery at once and he Immediately
secured bloodhounds and started them
on the trail The men had secured so
much Of a start however, that he has
little hope OF securing them again.
