General Henderson Gives His Impressions
of Things in Europe.
POVERTY AND DISTRESS IN SOME PARTS

Showing Decadence In

II was very much interested in our trip
through Ireland, Scotland ana England
having never visited Ireland or Scotland,
and my visits to EIIglani having been
largely confined 70 the vicinity OF London"
said General Charles b. Henderson, who
with Mrs. Henderson, ts back from Europe.
I'VE landed at Queenstown and took the
usual tour by Glengarin, Killarney Dublin,
Belfast and Port Rush. The evidences Of
poverty and distress met one on every

I'VE visited some OF the schools. and
rather TO my surprise l found that they
were teaching Gaelic in all OF the aoa-
denies OF whatever grade In Ireland. l
talked with some OF the teachers and many
of the Catholic clergy who were in charge
Of the Catholic schools with reference TO
this matter. they said the teaching of the
original Irish tongue and tho resurrection
OF some OF the ancient Industries was for
the purpose OF instilling INTO the youthful
mind pride in their country ana an in
crease OF patriotism. At Dublin met Sir
Horace Plunkett, who now occupies she
position OF commissioner Of agriculture and
education. He also was an advocate OF
the teaching OF Gaelic aud soma OF the
almost lost arts such as arass work, pot
terry products and lace making, and said
that the EFFORT should be not To make he-
land anti English. but pro-Irish. This re-
mark OF this eminent statesman and great
thinker really sums up the situation

Sir Horace Plunkett will be recognized
by all readers Of The Bee as "a gentleman

Mr.. Dodge admits that the primary law
tried for the first time in Douglas county
has defects that should be corrected. He
says the opinion OF City Attorney Herd
man that political organizations can file
nominees and get their names on the gen
eral election ballots II the places have not
been contested for at the primaries is cor

socialists according to the laws author are
in no way barred from filing a ticket for

EIGHTEEN PRISONERS FLEE

ALI TRkNSPlRES WITHIN ONE MONTH
Operations In Three Cities Inspire
Belief that Concerted Plan IL
Executed by CO-OpeFR-
tIOn OF Criminals.
lLL TRANSPORTS WITHIN ONE MONTH

To no small extent is II believed in police
and detective circles the recent delivery of
five prisoners from the Douglas county jail
was accomplished either wholly or in part
by outside parties-pals OF some OF the pris-
Oners, who made their escape.
This opinion is held by many Of the older
detectives who have had years of expert
ence in the ways of criminals and the usual
methods employed In times of escape.
While nothing definite can be stated re-
sarding the recent deliveries at Omaha,
lincoln and Sioux City. from which places
eighteen good" prisoners gained their lib
erty within a months time, yet the authori-
ties are more than certain that some organ
lied effort was made In behalf of the pris-
oners who got, away.
II is a generally accepted fact among
those who have TO do with the running
down OF criminals that this class of social
parasites have organizations and stick by
each other SO far as the exigencies of the
profession" will permit. A more or less
regular correspondence is maintained by
criminals and the daily newspapers are
scrutinized assiduously for the movements
OF pals who may get into trouble When II
Is known that a member OF any clique or
gang is in trouble a helping hand is ex-
tended in some way or other, according to
circumstances.
Honor Among Thieves.
The old saying that there Is a certain
honor even among thieves holds good today
as much as il did 100 years ago, for to
'squeal" today on a pal means ostracism
forever; It means that the one who
"saueals" must go It alone and besides run
the chances Of being knocked" by the
others.
Occasionally. though not often. the police
find on a prisoner letters or memoranda
that show conclusively the man is in league
with others IN various portions OF the coun-
try. The rule is. however. that the criminal
burns his bridges behind him and stands
pat" when caught.

Similarity I'm Method.


The similarity OF manner In which the de-
liveries were effected at Omaha, Lincoln
and Sioux City. the comparative small ra-
dius of territory encompassed and the brief
lapse Of time between the deliveries men
toned lead the authorities to take seriously
to the idea that outside pals OF the escaped
prisoners did the work.
A few OF the escaped prisoners have been
captured. but by no hook nor crook can the
Jail officials induce these few to tell how
the deliveries we're effected.
In each bunch that escaped were a few
criminals known throughout the country.
In the six that got away from the Nebraska
penitentiary September was Charlie
O'Conner alias Henry Cunningham, one of
the most expert forgers and confidence men
i'm the country. O'Conner is now 81 years
of age and was reared in Omaha. O'Con-
ner's five companions who escaped with him
are all highwaymen and house burglars
with long string OF aliases. The most i'm
portant one Of the Omaha bunch was Fred
Leonard, the young man who held up 1--WE
men a few months ago In an Omaha drug
store. The seven who escaped from Sioux
City were all desperate characters.

Cummins Keeps His Dates


Politicians declare that the railroad
interests have tried to arrange Chau.
tauqua dates throughout the state fol-
lowing those of Gov. Cummings, on
which they planned to introduce prom
inent speakers, who would take up the
gauntlet thrown by the governor in
his fight against the corporation inter
ests and make an effort to discount his
addresses with the people. The rail.
roads, it is said, intend to put up the
strongest men to present their side OF
the rate regulation question Gov
Cummins has already commenced to fl.
his engagements. He takes occasion
to deny in his address that he is in ia.
yor of government ownership. He
says: II have no hesitation in saying
the day for government ownership
ought not to dawn until the virtue and
strength of the American people are
exhausted in the attempt to SO regu.
late the railways. that their service
will be without discrimination anG
their compensation limited to reason
able reward" In referring to the rail-
roads he says: They intend to run the
government if they can. The reign of
the common people is in danger" De-
spite the declaration of the politicians,
Gov. Cummins has refused to alter his
dates. thus leaving the corporations in
the. lurch in many instances.

Iowa Is Not Alone.

Iowa is not unique among the states
In the matter Of a slight falling off in
her census Minnesota is experiencing
the same thing, relatively. That is.
while Minnesota will show slight in
crease in the total, it is due exclusively
to the city of Minneapolis. The rural
communities Of Minnesota have contrib
uted to the throng that has passed on
north and west and southwest looking
for cheaper land, and the population Of
the rural sections show distinct fall
ing off as compared with the federal
census of 1900. That is what troubles
Iowa. Her rural communities are de-
pleted. There are many vacant farm
houses This fact is disclosed by the
reports of the assessors on the specific
point. 1t shows that not only have
settlers left the state and gone for
cheaper land, but that the farmers who
have remained in, the state have been
extending their titles to take in the
smaller farms Of their former neigh
bors, by purchase and this has result
ed in abandoned homes on the prairies
in the made groves Of the state.

A GOOD RESOLVE.

A Cresco Lawyer Sets Example That
Other Smokers Would do Well
to Follow.
One of our most prominent lawyers
has made resolution that he recon-
mends to other smokers, without ask
ing any fee.
For years he has been smoking ten
cent and fifteen cent cigars and often
without getting one that was salts
factory. When in P. A. Clemmer,s
store q month ago, he recommended a
SC. cigar, Wadsworth Bros Chicos,
and the result is that he has resolved
to buy no other cigar, for he knows
that he is g etting better cigar than
he has heretofore bought.
Other smokers should follow this
example. The Wadsworth Bros. Chi
cos is made from the best Havana to-
bacco, not favored or doctored in any.
way, and is better than cigars that
are usually retailed for double that
money. Drop in at P. A. Clemmer,s
