WILLAIAR, MINN.--A scarcity of teachers is

as II elated over his escape, announcing that he
had come to give himself up. Felker asked to
be given his old cell.
Felker was one of the principals in the plot
to escape, and left the Jail with Charles Lem
nox, who is under sentence of death, and who Is
still at liberty. The authorities had searched
every portion Of the state for Felker and offered
rewards for his apprehension. Felker says he
has been hiding in the Olympia range Of the
mountains, and near Seattle, Portland and sew
eral other coast towns. While in Seattle he de-
termined to return and face trial.
He was tried on charge Of murder, being ac.
cused of stabbing to death his brother law,
John Cunningham. The first trial resulted in a
verdict of manslaughter for Felker, and he was
sentenced to ten years. He was sent to Deer
Lodge and served about ninety days while his
appeal was pending. His petition for a new
trial was granted and he was brought back to
Silver Bow county jail. Here, on new trial,
the jury disagreed and Felker was remanded to
await another trial. He has been known at all
times as an unruly and troublesome prisoner and
has given the officers more trouble than any
other prisoner. He once before attempted to
break jail and spent seventy days in dungeon
in the penitentiary. He was in the dark cell
when the order came to return him to Butte for
another trial.

They Expect to Double Their Vote
With Calamity" Weller at
Their Head.
Effort Making to Bring the Old
Time Farmers Alliance Men
Into Line.

Special to Tho Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept 14.-Socialists in
Iowa are unusually and surprisingly active this
fall and have announced their intention Of
doubling their vote next November.
Already more county conventions have been
held and more socialistic tickets for county
officers placed III the field than has ever been
known before. State Chairman Norman Of
Abba has announced that there will be CAM
patgn. Calamity Weller, whose name stands
at the head of the ticket for governor Of Iowa,
will stump the state. This, he says, he had
intended to do two years ago, but the assas-
sination Of President Mckinley and other condi-
lions made the time unfavorable
An effort is being made to get the former
members Of the farmers alliance and other
smaller political organizations to rally around
the flag of socialism. The addresses to be de-
liyered will be directed largely to the union men
Of the state with the hope Of converting them
to the socialistic organization.
The state convention, held here some weeks
ago, did not show any great strength, but the
small gathering was due to misunderstanding
ment in some Of the Des Moines papers. Since
then developments in the different counties,
where many rousing meetings have been held,
show the body to be hard at work.
Preparations for the sending of ten Iowa
rifemen to Lake City, Mimi, to compete for
the Washburn trophy are being made. pre-
paratory contest will be held at Algona Tues
day for the purpose Of selecting the representa-
tives of this state. The team will leave for
