On last Thursday night four prisoners
in the county Jail, Brown and Wilson IN
for attempted burglary and Heckroot
and Gordon in for forgery. made their
escape. They were evidently helped
from the outside as they had saws TO
cut the bolts on their cells and get out
into the corridor. From there their 90
cape was easy as they soon dug large
hole in the brick wall of the Jail. Their
escape was not discovered until next
morning but as n slight shower had fal-
len just before they broke out it was
easy to follow them down to the timber
where they attempted to hide. An effort
was made to cut them off east d here
and Ed Moury, who was watching abont
five miles east of Lamar found Gordon
asleep early in the. afternoon and easily
captured him. Wilson attempted to go
west on one OF the passenger trains that
night and was caught before he reached
Las Animas. Brown and Heckroot sue
ceeded in making their escape from the
county but were captured by Undersher-
if Frisbie at Dodge City on Monday
morning. He left them at the city Jail
there handcuffed and went out to eat
his dinner. When he returned they had
disappeared and no one at the Jail
would admit knowing anything about
them. 1t is quite evident that they
have friends IN Dodge City as well as
Lamar and are probably old crooks. Mr..
Frisbe is still out hunting them and at
last reports was in Hutchinson.

Tina, Denver oenssrsnos.

There is, after all, to be q third
party in the field next year. For a
time it looked Is if the side issues
had all been abandoned, and the
voters in 1904 would be called on to
choose between the two old orgsni.
cations. The simple question would
be: Should the republicans remain in
power, upon the promise to hold
things level, or the democrats be
commissioned to set things to rights
in their own wayf Some people
hailed the prospect with pleasure
and thought it a good sign, while
others took the opposite view.
But the agitators for new things
have by mo means been quieted.
They arc - vocal as ever, and, what
is more, are now led by man who
in the matter of criticising establish
ed order, regardless of what that
order may be or where the RESPONSE
bility may lie, has no superior in
our Affairs. This man is ex Senator
William v. Allen Of Nebraska, for q
long time one of Mr.. Bryan's lieuteu-
ants, and BY long odds his warmesi
eulogist. As leader Mr.. Allen is
wholly unconventional and knows not
fatigue, and there will be something
doing wherever his banner flies
Men who flock to his standard will
be assured Of work enough to satisfy
the utmost cravings of their nature
Does this movement argue that
these friends Of Mr.. Bryan have nc
hope Of seeing him take independ
ent action next year, or are they en-.
oouraged to feel that they are pre-
pairing the way for hims Evidently
they are not in the humor for anoth
er alliance with the democracy. The
rising tide Of what is termed Cleve.
landism in that party shows them
that their influence has waned in
that quarter. And so they have
either parted company with Mr..
Bryan and resigned themselves to
the feeling that he is going his own
gait regardless of their wishes, or
else, expecting that in time. he too,
will reject the return of the eastern
wing of the democracy to power,
they are getting . following ready
for him.

How Safe Money Helps

1t is easy to see that the stable
monetary system of the country has
done much in the past week or two
to avert a financial crash. Had
reduction in quotations occurred dur.
ing the oldgreenback inflatition days
previous to 1879 at all approaching
the present shrinkage extent and
duration, panic would have taken
place. Had this occurred during the
silver dilution of half score years
ago smash up could not have been
prevented. The convulsions of 1873
and also that of 1893 would probab-
ly have been sverted had the cur
rency Of the country been on the
solid basis upon which it WAS placed
few years ago.
The repeal, in the later part of
1893, of the purchase clause of the
act of 1890 stopped the silver dilu-
ton. The Republican victory of
1895, supplemented by the gold
standard act of March, 1900, placed
the currency of the country safely on
the gold basis. Such supplementary
Legislation as, in the opinion ofsome
persons, may be needed to remov 9
all fears of the possibility of the
maintenance Of the gold standard
will probably be had soon. While
the republican party remains in pow
er the gold standard is safe. As the
party stands an excellent chance to
retain sway at least four years long
er, nobody is nervous over the none
tary situation.
This great staying force in the
business situation. The United
States has today as sound curren-
cy as England or any of the other
gold standard countries. 1t will be
sound 80 long as the republican
party stays in power. There is no
way of preventing the democrats
from upsetting this currency if they
get president and both branches of
congress, but the fact that there
would be a menace of this sort in the
success of the democracy is one of
reasons why such success is not near.
The solid and safe circulating med.
ium for which the republican party
is chiefly accountable is the force
which steadies the country's fnan-
cial balance wheel and prevents the
Wall street wreckers from bringing
q business crash.-Globe. Democrat.

jap Women Arrested.

AS the result of a raid made last
evening by Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth

of ill-repute were arrested in house
fronting on River street below Bereta-
MIA street For several nights the
police have been watching these wo-
men who have transferred their places

to River street, being more central.
They also came quite close to two
schools, the Aala and st. Louis College.
When the officers showed their badges
there was a call by the women and
number of Japanese men, who for the
most part live off the earnings of the
women, rushed for the officers, but
after Dan Renear had thrown one into
the muddy street, the others retreated.

.HAWA|I'S
BUILDING
At st. Louis Will Appear
With Those of the
States.

Hawaii's building at the ST Louis Ex-
position will appear among those of the
States and Territories and not, as re-
Gently decided, among the foreign ex-
hibits in which will be the buildings of
the Philippines and Porto Rico. This
decision was arrived at yesterday morn
ing at a meeting of the Hawaii Ex-
position Co, at which c. NJ. Cooke was
chairman.
A resolution was passed whereby the
company will hold to the lot that was
first proposed for Hawaifs building,
among the assignments of space allot-
ted to the States and Territories The
company had an option on two places.
and Mr.. Traphagen, the local architect
made an estimate of the cost of the
building, complete with plumbing and
electric lighting. He looked over the
option of allotment in the space for
foreign buildings and also one near the
Forestry and Fisheries buildings.
The committee yesterday decided that
as Hawaii was a part of the United
States, and it would give an impression
that the islands were still foreign
the space of the States and Territories
would be the best adapted for Hawaii's
display.
The acceptance of this lot is subject to
the securing of an appropriation from
the Hawaiian Legislature for Hawaiis
building. This matter will be presented
to the attention of the Legislature at
the first opportunity.
Mr.. Traphagen's estimate for the
building Is $2O.675.

FAILED To
PAY TAXES
Prominent People Are
on the Delinquent
List.

Collector Pratt has prepared the list
of delinquents in both the income and
property tax and they have been post
ed in front OF the Judiciary building.
There is an unusual number of delir-
| quents this year, though the totals
have not been footed up as yet.
The list of property delinquen5s is
large and has a wide range as to
amount. The lowest is s17O while the
highest amount of taxes unpaid IS
s4s2O65.
The income tax delinquents are great
er in number than the property delin-
quents, for the reason that a large num-
ber of them refused to pay until deci-
sion is given in the income tax case
now on appeal in the District Court of
Appeals at San Francisco. The case
was argued and submitted last Novem-
ber, and a decision is expected some
time this month.
The list of delinquents contains the
names of many people of prominence,
particularly of those falling to pay in
come tax. Many of the prominent bust
ness houses of the city are posted as
delinquent, while the list contains also
the names of nearly half of the attor-
neys of the city. A number of the large
estates are also posted, while three or
four Senators and a number of Rep

names of at least two judges, and half
dozen government officials some of them
of high standing.

ing, and to this will also be added the
interest up to the day of payment

VIII Reach the Coast
Early in
May.
Cabinet and Family viii Ac-
company Him on the
Long Trip.

Although the exact day for his arriv-
announced on the mainland that Pres
ident Roosevelt will visit the Pacific
Coast this coming spring, arriving in
San Francisco between the 18th and the
18th of May. The President will be
accompanied by his Cabinet and official
family, and it is possible that his special
train win also carry Mrs. Roosevelt
and several of the children, as well as
some of the Cabinet ladies. Just what
route will be taken, in coming and go
ing, is not yet announced. The Presi-
dent is already pretty familiar with the
West, more familiar with it than any
other President has ever been, and will
doubtless so arrange his itinerary as
to see as much of the country that is
new to him as possible.
It has been the purpose of President
Roosevelt, almost ever since he sue
ceeded to the Office through the death
OF President Mckinley, to take the trip
that it is now determined shall be un-
dertaken. The President is a declared
believer in the theory that the man
who is at the head of the nation should
know the nation, as his immediate sue
cessor was President Mckinley was
the second President to visit the Pa
cific Coast during his term of Office, and
President Roosevelt will be the third.
AS the first President to come West
was Hayes, and ne was not very enthu-
siastica1ly received, the visit was not
profitable to the West, whatever it may
have been to the President. The bullet !
of a devilish assassin removed Presi- !
dent Mckinley before the good effects
of his visit were made manifest.
President Roosevelt proposes to study
conditions for himself. and will take
the government along with him to let it
study conditions also. The President is
the manner OF man who learns by
study.
