behind this measure invade the Legis-
lature with increasing prospects OF
success. Those who regard the bill as in
iquitous must be on their guard this
session, as stronger effort than ever
will be made to force its passage.
These are the most important gen
eral matters with which the Legisla-
ture will deal at its coming session,
but there are other matters in which
the interest is widespread or more
particularly confined to Annapolis and
Anne Arundel county. Our citizens
will be especially interested in the
proposition to complete the annex &c
the State House and also the plan OF
building q State arsenal and armory
in Annapolis. The coming Of the
Legislature proves a Godsend tc
many of our citizens, who obtain
minor positions at the State House
and are enabled to tide over the win
ter. A large number, however, art
disappointed in their ambitions. Tht
managers of the hotels and boarding
houses will reap rich harvest so tina
altogether Annapolis has reasons K
appreciate the fact that it is the
State Capital.

in vain if it teaches rigid care and
foresight on the part of those who are

Superior Wis, Nov. 19.-Su-
perior's record for insanity pleas
in important murder trails will
very likely not be broken when
Arthur Woods, slayer Of Ole
Benz, the street car conductor,
is placed on trail. 1t is under
stood that insanity will be his de-
fense. In three recent murder
trials the same plea was entered.
In every one the defendent was
found to be sane, then tired and
found guilty. The longest SEN
fences given in such cases were
to William Clay bots, wife slayer,
and Arthur Herman, Is years
old, both of whom got fourteen
years.

Sheriff Catches Prisoner at Work and
Arrests Alleged Pals.

Bessie Skeen and Furley Howard of
Sioux Falls have been arrested on the
charge of attempting to effect a jail
delivery from the county jail in that
city. BY the merest chance Sheriff
Huston discovered the attempt in time
TO Illustrate it.
While at an upper window in the
Jail which overlooked the cell room
the sheriff detected a man named
Bennett. a former inmate of the Sioux
Falls ~penitentiary from McCook coun-
ty, at work on one of the bars with a
saw. Sheriff Huston fastened to the
cell room, where he demanded the saw
and got it. 1t is a ten-inch machinist's
saw blade and was mounted on a piece
of pine, with a string to hold it in slots
cut for the blade. One of the bars al
ready had been cut, although Bennett,
who is a prisoner in the county jail,
had been at work only a few minutes.
Sheriff Huston alleges he has evil
dence that Bessie Skeen and Furley
Howard passed the saw to Riley Hard
wick. a prisoner, by whom it was given
to Bennett.
