BROKEN THEIR PAROLE
PIummer and His Pretty Wife Create
Another Sensation in Iowa.
From Mondays Daily.

AoAA ~AAoAAuoy DdIly.
William Plummer, alias William John
son, who figured in sensational escape
from the Jail at Sioux City for two years
ago, has created another sensation, this
time by violating his parole from the
Anamosa penitentiary and fleeing from
Iowa. Plummer and his wife, who left
with him, are now wanted by the au-
thorities to return to the states prison.
Plummer was paroled two weeks ago,
and the terms of his parole, as signed by
the governor, required him to remain in
Linn county. He had served two years
of tive-year sentence for a drunken
hold-up job committed at Sioux City.
His wife was sent up for assisting him
tc escape from Jail here. They were ar
rested together in Minneapolis and SEN
fenced, she for three years and he for
five years. She was disguised as man
when the sensational escape was made.
The wife was paroled from Anamosa
first, and she secured employment as
cashier in Cedar Rapids restaurant in
Linn county. Plummer joined her there
and was employed by the same restaur-
ant, when both of them escaped few
nights ago. The governor has sent out
instructions for both to be rearrested
In the penitentiary Plummer was book
keeper for Deputy Warden Gurley, and
was leader of the prison orchestra. He
was well educated.
1t will be remembered that Plummer
and his wife drove to the outskirts OF
Mankato when they were making their
sensational escape from the Jail at Sioux
City and left team that they had stolen
in Iowa. They went to the livery barn
of John Michels at the foot of Jackson
street, secured fresh team and drove
to Minneapolis where they were after
ward arrested. The team was restored
tc Mr.. Michaels.

Money Is No Object. .

"We all go to the devil on $4,000 a
year," says Parson Hills.
ut is just as easy to go to the devil
on $4,000 a year as on $50O00," says
the ever youthful Chauncey Depew. 1t
is well to note that there may be a sheer
in this, for the Rev. Newell Dwight
Hills is put down in the preachers in
,ventory at $4,000 year, just.-St. Paul
Globe.
There's many chap who is going to
the place where the evil one dwells on
less than even $4,000 a year. It's not
the amount of money one has coming
to him each year that maps out the trip
devilward, it's the inability to keep out
of the old fellows clutches on any sum-
no matter how insignificant. The devil
does not appear to be one of those par
ticular sort of individuals that confines
his operations entirely to the aristocratic
circles All men look alike to him
money is no object.

.sNO Place to Co."

G. S. Pease in "Street Gossip" in The
Anoka Union says:
standing on a prominent street cor
ner in Anoka pleasant night this
spring, watching the crowd moving and
hurrying along, some on business, some
for exercise, others shopping, | was ac-
costed by several young men, and one of
them remained after the others had
PASSED on. He proceeded to read me a
lecture from a young fellows standpoint
and this is nearly what he said: "Look
here, Mr.. Newspaper Man, I'd like you
to tell me where the young men of Anoka
can spend their evenings, unless it is III
the saloons or few stores. There isn't
a single place for us to go excepting a
dance occasionally. There are no parties
where the young people of both sexes
can meet and get better acquainted
here are but few entertainments pro
vided, and you can howl until you are
hoarse about the fast pace some of the
boys are going. Nothing is done tc
stop them. They are allowed to shift
for themselves, and if one falls by the
way the people hold up their hands and
eXclaim Amt it a shame?' and yet we
are wholly to blame?"
| Several newspapers throughout the
state have commented upon the above
and most of them agree that there is
much truth in what ''the old man" says
II is an old saying chat what every
body says must be true" However
The Free Press takes no stock in the
views set forth by the young man who
expressed himself to "Street Gossip
The young man who ''has no place tc
go" is not generally looking for the right
kind of place to go. The young mar
who has the proper conception of life
does not drift into questionable places
: nor does he have to complain of the lacS
OF proper places in which to spend hi:
leisure hours. 1t is doubtful if anyone
ever heard Abraham Lincoln fret or com
plain because he had "no place to 90.
James A. Garfield did not worry over the
lack of place to spend his leisure mo-
ments. Andrew Carnegie, when a young
man, did not have to idle away his spare
time in places where liquor was dispens
/ ed The late Alexander Ramsey never
gave expression to such sentiments as
were allowed to escape from the young
man who was interviewed by "Street
Gossip" There are hundreds of men il
the professions and in business who
did not suffer for the want of some place
to go when their days work was done
Their spare time was profitably spent
and now they are reaping the rich reward
of those days when they knew how, wher
and where to 90.
! Young men, do not be led away from
the right idea by false philosophy.

HOW TO BEAT THE FLOOD.
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell Makes
Suggestions to Farmers.
From Thursdays Daily


Crops that may still be planted with
profit by Minnesota farmers whose lands
were flooded by recent rains are suggest
ed by w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner
'Even if the surplus water does not
disappear until July buckwheat, millet,
flax and rape may then be planted" says
Mr.. Mcconnell, with assurance of
able results.
"Buckwheat is one of the best pay
ing crops, yet it is seldom grown in Min
nesota. 1t can be planted as late as
July L. The yield should be 20 to %
bushels an acre, giving a profit of SO
to IS cents a bushel.
''FlaX planted any time during June
will return ten or fifteen bushels to the
acre and the price is usually more than
81 bushel.
''Millet, one of the best feeds for cows
it gives fine flavor to the milk
flourishes in a wet field. 1t should be
cut early in the bloom, so that it won't
become too coarse.
"Cattle and hogs thrive on rape, 1t is
good even for mich cows. But cows
should be turned into rape field just
after milking and taken out about moor
the next day. Then the flavor of the
milk will not be unpleasantly affected.

even those which are seemingly insight

he goes on with a certain quiet, abiding
enthusiasm, and, both in the senate and
out of it, is making his well-earned sue

Maintained at Small Cost.

Saltwater is a city of about $4,000
population, little more than Mankato
has, yet that city pays out on an aver
age of something like $4,000 year to
maintain its fire department. Last year
the expense of maintaining the Mankato
department was $7,SO9.43.
Mankato is proud in the possession of
one of the most modern and completely
equipped fire stations in the northwest,
yet the taxpayers are not burdened in
its maintenance nor are they weighed
down with large paid department, such

900, has fire department expense of
So, 800 annually, almost, if not quite
three times the amount paid out for a

efficient department is maintained at so
small cost to them.

The date for his marriage to the lass

commonwealth. In fact throughout the

REMARKS ON THE SIDE.

Colonel Nef charges the Mankato
newspapers with setaling news from his
Lake Crystal Union. Nef should get
his news copyrighted and then proper

than that, permission would have to be

If the copyright plan should fail to
work, the colonel might secure an axe
and kill few NIankato newspaper men,
