WORK TO BEGIN ON
CUONTY JAIL Immediately
JaiI Lot Surveyed Friday Afternoon and Digging
will Commence Monday Morning.

l1r. E. L wnchen, of the firm of
Elliott & winchell, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
which has the eoatract for the erection
Of the new county jail and sherifrs res
sacnce, arrived in the city from the west
Thursday night. He has been in Cali
9ornia and other weston states, partly
o. bushes for his firm
Mr.. winchell comes here to assume the
direction of the work ON the new jail
bailding. At noon he and Mr.. Z. C. s.
Holmboe, of the firm Of Holboe & Laf-
1erty, the architects for the building, to-
Eether with Mr.. s. S. Faris, president
Of the county court, were in consulta-
tion regarding the work on the contract,
and Mr.. winchcll desired to start ON the
work at once.
The lot at the rear of the court house
win be surveyed Friday afternoon, and
It Is Mr.. winchells intention TO put a
force Of men mt work ON the excavating
Monday morning.
The contracting firm is under contract
TO complete the building by the lst of
November. In n conversation with n
representative of the Telegram Friday
morning, Mr.. Winchell stated that all
possible speed would be made in the con-
struction of the building after the work
had been started. A large force OF men
will be put to work on the building. and
the work pushed to rapid completion.
By waiting two months before beginning
the initial work on the building, Mr..
Winchell says they have gained rather
than lost time, rs work on sandstone,
of which the building will be largely
Faris, who will personally supervise the
erection of the building, has the matter
of tearing down the present county jail
under consideration. 1t is thought both
by the building contractors and the arch
itects that the old Jail building will have
to be torn down to make room for the
construction of the new. In this event,
which seems very probable at present,
the county court will experience some
trouble in the disposition of the prison
ers in the custody of the county au-
-tlsorities. The proposition of building a
temporary wooden Jail and placing the
iron cells of the old jail in it Tor the
confinement of prisoners Is under con-
sideration. Either this will have to be
done or the county prisoners sent away.
This matter will be decided by Mr.. Far
Il later.

LEADS PARTY TO VICTORY.
German Socialists Gain Under August
ReheI's Leadership.

Just a. present there is more talk
in Germany about August Bebel than
of any other ten men. 1t was under
Bebel's leadership that the socialists
have just polled vote of 100000, to
the great CONSERVATION of the kaiser.
Herr Bebel was born in Cologne sixty
three years ago. the son of an infantry
sergeant He learned the trade of a
tanner and at the age of 20 Joined
the social democratic party founded
forty years ago by Liebkrecht. He
has served mahy brief terms in jail
for his opinions sake. The annexa-
tion of Alsace and Lorraine he de-
nounced as a mistake, tracing to it
the vast ornaments which now burden
Europe. Hunger duties" is the term
he applied to the new tariff on i'm
ported food. and he characterized Ger
many's conduct in China as shame
full" saying it was marked by "bestial-
ity lower than among the beasts He
has repeatedly criticised Emperor Will
liam, even intimating on one occasion
that the kaiser was insane.

waited to catch pictures of the plucky
English sportsman. Morgan has a hor-
ror of that kind of thing, SO after
catching sight of the camera fiends he
lodged behind post. He even sent
word that he would smash any camera
aimed at him, adding that unless his
wishes were needed he would bar all
cameras from piers controlled by the
shipping trust. In spite of his threats
over dozen shots were taken at him.

murder. the sensation of the year at
Rochester, n. Y, is now solved. The
conviction of August Russell for the

depend on the mans confession.
There is corroborative evidence of
the strongest kind.

NEW GUTTA PERcHA TREE.
Valuable Discovery Recently Made in
the Valley of the Amazon.


Up to quite recent date the world
has relied on the rubber tree for it's
supply CT gutta percha. and on ac-
count of the limited area in which this
plant grows the product has been ex-
ceedingly expensive. A short time ago
a gutta percha merchant in the Guia-
mas in examining the Amazon region
in South America found the balata
tree growing in abundance near Para
and on the Amazon and its tributaries
for thousands of miles. The Brazilians
had no knowledge of its gum-produc-
ing properties and were found cutting
down the trees for firewood and build
ing material. A concession was bought
and the practical work of producing
sutta percha for the market begun.
There is practically no limit to the
supply Of gutta perch. on the Amazon
and it can be produced ut fraction
of the cost of rubber. The method of
bleeding" the balata tree is entirely
different from that used tc extract the
gum of the rubber tree and only ex-
pert "bleeders,' it is said. can be
employed. The trees yield many times
as much sap as the rubber trees and
one man can gather as much eutta
percha in a day as twenty man can
extract from the rubber tree. Each
tree will average three and half
pounds and one competent "bleeder"
cen prepare forty to fifty pounds per
day. The gum is fermented and then
dried in the sun, after which it is
ready for shipment.

he would awaken and shiver in dead
ly fear at weird noises in his chamber.
Its the ghost of Theresa Keating,"
his wife would say to him and he
would cover under the bedclothes.
Russell's wife delighted in frightening
him because he had often threatened
to kill her as he did Theresa Keating.
He married her about six months after
the murder and later confessed the
crime to her. She feared for her
own life after that.
