Do You Want $4,000 a year

Socialism will give that to every man
or woman who will do their share OF the
labor. You can have it when enough Of
you will throw away your old ideas and
vote the socialists into power. Read
works on the matter and you will be
convinced as all the socialists have been
convinced, that it will do this. You will
be the men and women elected to carry
into effect this glorious condition, when
you have learned what is necessary to
do. You are not to elect other people
and depend on them to run the govern
ment to do this for you-you are the
ones who will be elected, and you can
trust yourselves, can't you! Socialism is
good for you. You don't believe it now
because your masters have diligently
prejudiced you against it, SO they can
continue to skin all Of US. These Stats
tics have been made by republican and
democratic government officials. You
havo never read their statistics. We
ask you to read them. You need not b.
lieve Socialists-read, and believe your
own reason.

STOVE PIPE ALLEN ESCAPES.
COnfederates Break Down Jail Wall and pry
up the Floor Monday Afternoon Letting the
Noted Box Car Thief Free-He Jumps an
East Bound Stock Train.

Thomas Allen, alias Stove
Pipe Allen, the famous box car
thief, escaped from the Ward
county Jail Monday afternoon
about four o'clock and got out
OF the county on a stock train.
.Jailer Roller left the jail fora few
moments in the afternoon leav-
ing the prisoners in the corridors.
During his absence, someone
broke the wall Of the Jail on the
out side and pried up the hoorof
the jail, letting Allen out. Allen
had not been absent 30 minutes
when the jailer returned, but he
could not be found in this city.
The sheriff was notified and a
posse was sent in search of him.
Earlyin the evening Allen caught
a stock train east put was put
off at Granville. He caught the
train as it was leaving Granville
but it is believed he got off be-
tween that place and Rugby
Junction. Sheriff Scofield had
the train held three-quarters OF
an hour at Rugby but Allen did
not turn up. kilograms have
been sent all over the Northwest
and it is belived that the noted
criminal will be found. He is six
feet four inches tall, light COM
plexion, very large prominent
noes, large ears and his left foot
is broken, several toes being
gone. Cards with his picture
have. also been sent over the
country. 4 reward of $50 is
offered for his arrest. The pri-
soners in the jail certainly could
have given the alarm but they
did not wish to. They are now
confined in the cells.

Hurrah for the new railroad
for we have it, steel and all.
The town cannot boast of a
town or even a sidetrack within
it's limits, but we have a side
track just south OF the township
line and Glenburn just west, SO
we are not 50 bad off as we were.
Threshing is almost done in
these parts now and it is not a
very big job to take care of the
late flax after it is threshed either.
Henry Hurschop, near Pratt
p. O. has three acres of potatoes
which yield 200 bushels to the
acre and at so cents per bushel
will pay nearly as we'll as his
fax.
G. F.5Miller and wife left last
Tuesday for Prescott, Wis, for
a few months visit.
Some of our boys returned last
week from Willow City where
they had been threshing and re.
port big crops but too much bad
weather for them to make any
money.

Bring in your largest potato to the
Golden Rule and get prize.
Allen Went North.

Judge Murray received a mes
sage from the conductor OF the
train on which Allen, the box
car made his escape, stating that
Allen had left the train at Rugby
and probably went north on the
branch. If he did this, he is pro-
badly in Canada now. Allen is
one of those fellows bold enough
to do just the opposite to that
which one would think he would
! do.
