woman without blushing-a conscience
that will enable you to be brave. con-
fident, fearless, no matter where Won
may be placed.
The other day got letter from an
old man in neighboring State, the
substance Of which 1 can make nublio
without doing violence to any Of the
proprieties Of things, since I call no
nnmes.
In his letter the old man said to
me:
Il am pretty nearly through with
the thing We call life. In the natural
course of events l have but little
longer TO remain upon these 'bsuks
aud shoals Of time
Il am about 20 80 out into the mys.
terry men call death. Ikuow lot what
it is. No man knows. It's a leap in
the dark. But I go as oheerfully as I
ever went to feast. Behind the veil
there can be nothing that is going to
harm me.
II have always done my duty as it.
was given me to see that duty. Never.
since arriving at the age of discretion,
have | ever knowingly done that
which was wrong. That is all know.
That is all care to know"
Fortunately, or unfortunately, as
the reader may determine for himself.
this old man has never cared much for
the "creeds" that have made so much
trouble in the world hut by prudence
and temperance he has always been
we'll, aud by conscientious devotion
TO plain and simple duty he has al.
ways been at peace with himself and
with his fellow-mau.
1t is no use to attempt to say more.
No more can be said. This is the
conclusion of the whole matter, the
Alpha and the Omega of all wisdom
aud all philosophy.
The question is answered, and this
ie the answer: The two greatest bles.
sings OF life are healthy stomach
and o clear conscience.

Not the Real Thing.

Congressman Slemp, Of Virginia,
told o story the other day which he
says is an illustration Of the retort
courteous in Virginia campaign, says
the New York Times.
According to Mr. Siemp there wore
two spellbinders in backwoods dis.
trict named Patrick Cauley and "Old
Man Adams. They were engaged in
joint debate and Cauley, q hot he AIDED
lrishman, had spoken pretty plainly
his opinion Of his opponent and the
Democratic party, to which Adams
belonged.
When Adams rose to reply, ne said
slowly:
The honorable gentleman spoe oh
reminds me of u story about farmer
friend of mine back in the woods. It
was in the days when there was q
brand of meat known as Cincinnati
bacon because it was made in that
city. The makers used to press all
the grease out Of this bacon and then
soakit in water 30 that it's appearance
was not changed.
"This friend Of mine bought wag-
on load of it, and few days later q
neighbor asked him how he liked it.
We'll, said the old man, it looks
all light and it weighs all right, but
when you come right down and try
it out by frying there is moro fuss
and sputter and sizzle and less grease
than any doggoned bacon I ever seen. I"

A Delivery at the Lookup Sometime
Last Night.
One Felony Prisoner and Five for
Misdemesnor Dug Out With
Poker
NONE HAS BEEN CAUGHT

The first lookup delivery for quite =
whilo took place last night at the city
hall between 1890 O'Clock and day
light The fact that number Of col
ored prisoners had dug their way out
of the negro quarters, which are on
the southeast side of the city hall, was
learned this morning early.
Those who escaped are; Tom Fitz-
gerald. Robert Bright, Mat o'Hars, Joe
Taylor, George Curd, and will Suggs,
all colored, and they used q poker in
effccting their escape. Jailer Tom
Evitts left the lookup at 1890 and
went home, leaving everything Sc
cure II is supposed that the negroes
began work immediately upon his de-
parture as IL took some time TO break
the cement between the bricks and
make a hole large enough for the pas
sage Of mans body.
Ten brick were removed, the first
being priced away from the window
sill After thc first brick was taken
out it was an easy matter to tear away
the others and little or no noise was
made in the operation. Lieutenant
Moore was a, the hall but could hear
nothing a. his Office il located in the
other end Of tho building.
The hole through which the prison
ers crAwled was made on the southeast
side Of tho building and IL on level
with the ground. There is . small
wooden fence surrounding the win
dows but this is not high and no trou
BILE Was experienced in scaling it and
the small iron fence surrounding Oh,
building.
Fitzgerald was the only prisoner
who had not been tried. He IL charged
with obtaining money by false pre-
lenses and his case was continued yes
terday until Thursday. Fitzgerald Il

Mr.. Joe GourieuN until he sold severa
razors and other barber tools and wa

that his wife was Ill and he had onl,

INSPECTOR HERE
Mr.. B, Stricken Arrives From St.
Louis to Inspect Government Site
More About the s45. 900 Appropriations
Mot New One.

Mr.. b. Strickler, Of st. Louis, who
is in the government building depart-
ment, arrived today TO inspect the site
of the government building, and Go 9TH
er necessary work before the building
of the addition to the custom house Is
finally done. He has been at the
building today getting ready to make
up his reports.
In regard to the s45, 900 mentioned
in the Washington dispatches, and
thought yesterday to be an additional
appropriation for the work, it seems
today that it is only portion of the
original $4,000, the first appropris-
tion being only part, and the s45,-
900 now appropriated being the re-
mainder.
Il is practically certain that work
on the building will begin in early
Spring. The plans are being gotten
in shape and it will now not be long
until the contract b let.

Regularly Favored Drinks Only to be
Served Hereafter.
Ruling OF Commissioner Yerkes to
Revolutionize Soda Water Bust
ness in Big Cities.
MUST PAY A SPECIAL TAX

The second ruling Of Commissioner
Yerkes that q retail liquor license
must be paid by every soda water
dealer handling "highly seasoned"
drinks on the side will have far
reaching effect. 1t means that every
druggist who has soda water foun-
tain will hereafter confne himself to
handling the regularly favored drinks;
that every caterer or restaurateur
will do likewise, unless he prefers to
pay the tax. Here the effect will be
Immediately noticeable, for few Of
the druggists will choose to pay the
tax.
In large cities it is customary
for the soda fountains to furnish the
wines that are ordered by the patrons
Of the restaurant and no retail tax has
heretofore been paid. But in the fu-
ture either the payment must be made
or tho practice of selling wine from
the soda fountain discontinued.
Such drinks as claret punch, claret
lemonade, cocktails and similar invig-
Grating drinks can no longer be served
ct the local drug stores unless the tax
is paid, and it is certain the payment
will not be made, because the drug
gists maintain that their profit from
the soda fountain receipts is not sutt-
oient to warrant securing retail
license to sell liquor. OF course
there are druggists with unusually
I large patronage who will pay the tax
rather than discontinue the sale Of
spirituous drinks. there being q few
now who are duly licensed, but the
great majority will hereafter ooylfine
themselves to the sale of reguD' .rly ia
vored "sodas."
The ruling does not apply to any
regularly favored extract. even
though it contains a little wine, but
1t does mean that druggists and deal
ers in sod'. water generally cannot add
little liquor as a "bracer, " and can
NOT adulterate the fsvoring in any
way. The reason Commissioner
Yerkes made second ruling was be-
cause his first was not generally un-
derstood. Collectors of revenue all
over the country were besieged with
inquiries as to the mesHing OF the
ruling, and so the commissioner made
q further calculation.
The decision Of Commissioner
Yerkes will be the source of consider
able added revenue to the treasury,
for a comparatively small percentage
of the handlers Of soft drinks in the
country are provided with retail liquor
licenses.

GRAVELON THE ROADS
The County Expects TO Gravel 30
Miles of Dirt Road.
The Grading Contract will Be Let at
About $40 o Mile-200 miles
TO Work.
WORK TO BE SUBSTANTIAL

The county roads are to be extern
sively and substantially improved this
year, If present indications count for
anything.
Fiscal court yesterday instructed
Overseer Bert johnson, who has done
splendid work on the roads, to pro-
coed according to law to advertise for
bids for grading the roads, and he will
at once advertise.
The law requires that the bids for
grading be opened ON the first Monday
in March, and this will be done this
year. There are two hundred miles
Of dirt road that are to be graded.
The estimated cost is $40 a mile, or
81, 900 for the work, which is done
with a grader.
Tho county is to go further, how
ever. This year it will begin gravel
ing the dirt roads, aud it is expected
10 thus improve at least thirty miles
of the roads, and to continue the i'm
provement year after year until all
the 200 miles of county road have
been grsveled, snd the expense every
year eventually to the county will be
only for repairs.
Il is estimated that the cost of gray
cling the thirty miles of road will ag-
gregate s15, 900 or about $500 a mile.
This is considered cheap in the long
run, as many thousand dollars have in
the past few years been expended an
nuaIly for work that was entirely OBJ
liberated by bad weather.
The grading will begin as soon after
letting the contract as possible, and
the graveling. later in the season.
Supervisor johnson thinks the coun-
ty will have to purchase little gravel,
there being plenty Of it in the hills,
which can be cut down and the grav.
ell thus exca waited used on the roads.

Great Trans Continental immigration.

Charles S. Fee, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific, in an in
terview says that 5000 people seeking
homes have been carried west over the
trans-continental roads during the past

kept Il goodly share of this army of
settlers AS is attested by the scarcity
of houses for rent in the cities OF the
state and the development going for
ward in the farming communities. Mr..
Fee says Il new hotel will be built by the
Northern Pacific in the Yellowstone
park at a cost of $50 1000. The govern
ment roads in the park will be greatly
improved during the summer, and those
in which the dust proves Objectionable
during the hot months will be sprinkled
