The regular vaudeville season will be
brought to a close with matinee and night
performances at the Orpheum today, and
the advance sale indicates two big au-
diences to climax the most successful sea-
son the popular playhouse has ever had.
The bill is an exceptionally strong one and
was timely selected to leave a good and
lasting impression. To single out any one
act for praise would be hardly in good
taste, for the good ones are numerous and
a large number of the stunts" are espe-
cially well calculated for the women and
children, who will attend in the afternoon.
This afternoon and tonight the last two
performances of "A Young Wife" at the
Boyd, one of the best things the Ferris
company has ever done here, will be given.
Sunday opens the new bill for the first
half OF next week. 1t is THE Belle OF
Richmond" a society ~comedy-drama, the
scenes OF which are laid in the historic
city OF Richmond.

intelligent American citizen you are
about to perform an act that pertains
to your sovereign right, power and
duty as an American freeman, intent

otic ancestory of noble deeds and the
words and falsehoods OF the 'sfakirs,'
go where they belong. You know the
candidates upon both the ballots, you
something Of their fitness for the pc.
sitions to which they severally aspire.

Attempted Escape!
Tom Robinson, Convicted Murderer,
Breaks Jail but Is Caught.

Sunday night just about midnight,
Sheriff Campbell was aroused by some
slight noise which he could not locate,
but thought it was a little girl, whom
he has in custody to take to the re-
form school, attempting to escape
from bedroom window. He dressed
and went to the room but she was
asleep and he then went out of doors
to investigate, and found man sit
ting on the roof Of the Jail, who he at
first took to be John Robinson, a
brother of the prisoner, who was seen
lettering in the vicinity OF the Jail
early in the evening and doubtless
had given assistance to the prisoner.
AS soon as Campbell recognized his
man he asked him to come down,
which he refused to do, and Mrs.
Campbell, who had appeared on the
scene telephoned to the Strother
House aud Marshall Foy, Ole Strum
and another person responded. A lad
der was secured from the hook and
ladder truck and Robinson was
brought down and placed in the cage
from which he escaped
Robinson and the other prisoners
had been locked In the cage, as usual,
for the night, but he escaped from it
by cutting the bolts used to fasten a
bar placed over hole recently cut in
the cage, by order of the Board of Sup
elvisorS, to enable the prisoners to be
fed without letting them out in the
corridor. This hole was cut since
Robinson made an attempt to escape,
just after his arrest and which was
also frustrated by Sheriff Campbell.
After Robinson escaped from tbe cage,
he climbed on top of it and soon had
a hole cut through the flimsy roof.
Sheriff Campbell is entitled to the
highest credit for his vigilance in
watching the prisoners entrusted to
his care, extraordinary watchfullness
being necessary on account of the
ramshackle condition of the Jail build
ing, which is patched and mended all
over on account Of Jail breakings,
with- h-A-linat.an,-4
ture swindler, during ]. A. Halls

Howard county certainly needs a
new Jail and we hope the voters will
awake to realizat tion of the facts and
authorize the erection Of safe and
modern building when the opportu-
nifty to vote the money is again pre-
sented.

ANOTHER LIFE SENTENCE IMPOSED.
Thomas c. Robinson Found Guilty Of
Murder.

The case of the State of Iowa VS..
Thomas 9. Robinson indicted for the
murder last spring OF the twin babies
of Hannah Dreas, born out OF wedlock
and he their acknowledged father,
and which he was alleged to have
poisoned by administering strychnine,
came to a close Friday evening of last
week. The jury, after celebrating
about four hours, brought in verdict
of murder in the first degree and fixed
the punishment at imprisonment for
life.
Robinson was convicted on his own
testimony. He went on the stand
against the advice Of his attorney,
and the fire of cross-examination to
which he was subjected brought out
the missing links in the chain of cir
cumstantlal evidence that fastened
the crime upon him.
After the verdict was given and the
bailiffs started to handcuff him to
take him back to Jail he tainted and
fell forward from his chair and did
not regain consciousness for several
hours.
The harness thieves were brought
into court Saturday morning and
plead guilty and were sentenced to
five and one-half months in the peni-
tentiary.
The arrest, conviction and punish
ment of these criminals is lar gely due
to the vigilance of Sheriff Campbell
and the able prosecution of the cul-
prits by County Attorney Upton and
his efficient assistant, A. J. Barker.
They are just.such men as the public
should rejoice in having in the places
they respectively occupy, and where
they SO fully serve the people.

BACK TO CAPITAL
ROOSEVELTS HAVE RETURNED
TO WASHINGTON FOR
THE WINTER.
Brilliant Social System to Be Inaug
urated, and Some Speculation to
Discrimination Of Invitations.

Washington, Sept 2S.-The presi-
dent of the United States was at the
executive mansion today. after an alb
sence of nearly six months. Workmen
had been engaged on the White House
up to the last minute, the finishing
touches being put on Saturday after
noon.
The repairs and improvements have
been in progress since early in the
spring and there has been a great deal
of bustling and tearing down and
building up to make a showing for
the expenditure of the half million
or so appropriated by congress.
The generous beauty of the grounds
has been marred by piles of rubbish
and the fragrance of the profusion of
flowers and rare exotics has been
usurped by all kinds of raw and pun
gent odors of paint. But everything is
much conjecture in this connection
as to whether White House receptions
will embrace as heterogeneous a list
of guests, regardless of race color or
previous condition. as made memor-
able similar affairs last winter.

GOV DAVIS, According to the
DiSGRACEFUL O "a k Democrat
CONFESSION Gov. Davis made
nc,, foccicr in his

"
confession in his
sreech at that place which is disgrace
full and should prevent any man who
has any regard for decency from vot-
for him. The Democrat says:
I'VE call special attention to the
implications that Gov. Davis threw
ont against all male members of the
churches and all married men. he
said: I am not fit to belong to the
cburch There is not married man
true to his wife; am not and no other
man is: all our wives could get dl-
yorces on that ground. Just think or
such an utterance from the governor
of a state How could even Davis hurl
snch monstrous falsehoods at the
Chris tan men of the state? Thus he
charges them with infidelity to their
wives and their church professions.
There may be some such men, but
these Wholesale charges are as false
as false can be. The governor says
he is guilty; we upppose he knows,
and we suppose he judges all other
men by himself which is an unjust
Judgment
1t is evidently true. as the Democrat
saws. that Gov. Davis judges all men
by the very low standard at which he
places his own morals. He confesses
that he is morally corrupt and thereby
charges that all men are as corrupt
as he confeSses himself to be. The
confession of his own degeneracy is
bad enough, and is disgrace to the
state but it becomes an intolerabie
outrage when he duplicates all men as
being as vicious morally as he admits
himself to be-
