Desperate Attempt of Four Con-
victs to Escape From the Mis-
souri, Penitentiary.
ALL WERE ARMED WITH PISTOLS
and HAD STICKS OF DYNAMITE.
They Had Got Ont of Their cell.
When Discovered, But Were
soon OverpOwercd and Placed In
other Celis-An investigation Int
mcdiateIy Instituted.

Jefferson City, Mo, April "a des-
perate attempt to escape from the Mis-
souri, penitentiary was made, Tuesday
morning, by four conviets, heavily
armed and also carrying sticks of
dynamite. They had succeeded in cut
ting their way out of the cells, and
when Guard John Williams. in MAX
ing his rounds. came upon them in the
corridor, they called upon him to halt.
Williams fled and gave the alarm, and
a corps OF guards responded and soon
oveTpowered the convicts and placed
them in other cells.
The convicts. James Thornton, p. T.
Ellis, James Mcdonald and ]. C. Mil
lard, assert that they secured the re-
volyers and dynamite by express, but
the prison authorities believe the
weapons and explosive were struggled
to them by friends in visiting. An
investigation was Immediately insti-
tuted
Thornton, Ellis and Mcdonald came
to the penitentiary three years ago on
tep-ycar sentences each for safe blow
ing in Platte county Willard was SEN
fenced from Cape Girardeau county for
grand larceny.
A convict, Monday night, notified the
cthcers OF the penitentiary that an at
tempt to escape would be made. but he
did not know when the plan was to be
put in operation. AS soon as the alarm
was raised by Guard Williams. Tues
day morning, two shots were fired in
the prison yard to attract all the
guards. and they speedily responded.
The dynamite was found to have
been made into packages to which
were attached humps of sealing wax.
This leads the prison officials to be-
heye that the wax was to be utilized
TO fasten the dynamite to the prison
doors and they were to have been
blown down.

"seginn,ng of American Era :

The addresses of Senator Fairbanks
and Beveridge at the Indiana republi-
can State convention were both master.
.ly efforts and deserve wide circulation.
We are able to quote a part of the lat
ter's speech.
Our theme is the American people.
Their business prosperous, homes happy,
prestige high, relations cordial with
every power, they are the most hopeful
human force the twentieth century be-
holds. The last eight years will be
known in history as ''the beginning of
The American era" How shall the
standard be maintained? So far as
government goes, our record and that of
the opposition answers that question
The test of craftsmanship is results
Let others exploit theories-we stand
upon the facts.
We have upheld the historic tariff
system which Henry Clay named "the
American policy" We will adjust
schedules to conditions as they change,
maintaining always the principle Of
protection. Business never failed to de-
cline without it. A policy which makes
good business it is bad business to aban-
don. Yet the opposition would destroy
it. Let the opposition explain there
stands the fact.
Home markets have been preserved
and at the same time foreign markets
have been captured for the American
producer. Our domestic trade is great
or than the entire international COM
merce of the world, and American ex-
ports have passed those of the British
empire, and the republic is at last the
first commercial power on earth. Let
the opposition explain-there stands the
fact.
Without disturbing the nations ordi-
nary business, we have applied existing
laws to organizations of industry; and
that these servants of the people shall be
preserved from tendencies hurtful to
the republic and to themselves, we have,
in addition, provided publicity and es-
tablished in a new department of the
government the beginnings of national
supervision of every corporation doing
business across the boundaries of States.
The opposition, clamoring for their de-
struction which is impossible and wrong,
proposed no remedy for their evils, re-
fused when in power to enforce existing
law and finally, in House and Senate,
by their votes testified to the merit of
our measures. Let the opposition ex-
plain-there stands the fact
We have made certain the Canal, that
historic purpose of the American people
The opposition resisted but in the end
