They stood in the spot where seven

dreadful nightmare seemed the week
which had just passed-the cruel de-

1oubt and suffering. Those were dark
days In fierce anger Jacob had chided
Laban for his duplicity, and Rachel,
shut in the retreat where her mother
had placed her, had raved like mad
woman, and mourned her Jacob as lost
20 her. But the sunshine had broken
through the clouds at last and Jacob
had claimed her as his wife, after he
had promised the designing, avaricious
Laban that he would serve yet seven
other years for Rachel. And now
Jacob was going with his flocks again
% begin another seven years OF servi-
Lude; but as they stood there-Jacob
with his strong arm encircling Rachel's

IN a recent issue of the Democratic
Grand Rapids Evening Post an exulting
reference is made to the fact that in saw
ings banks deposits, at the beginning of
the present year, the United States led
the world. Savings deposits, on the first
day OF the present year. amounted to the
enormous sum of s.. o6o, r76,7Ir unprece-
dented in the history of this country.
This sum was in excess of the deposits in
Germany by 1896, 900 aud Germany
was 81 100000 ahead of any ,other Euro
pean country. These figures would seem
to suggest that the American working
man, under present conditions, is pros
pering as he has at no other period in his
career.

THE apportionment Of state taxes for
the coming year, recently determined by
the auditor general and forwarded to the
county treasurers, shows a reduction of
more than $4,000 as compared with the
total taxes of two years ago. The COM
parison is made with two years ago be-
cause of the fact that the odd years of
appointments, directly following the
legislative sessions, include the entire
expense of the Legislative sessions and
many other items of state expenses not
shared by the next year. That an actual
reduction hould be made in the expense
OF maintaining rapidly growing state in

WHATEVER may be thought of Judge
Grants individual views in some direc
tons, 1t must be conceded by all that his
appeal for the better enforcement of law
and his declaration that Zone of the great
dangers to the republic is lawlessness and
disregard of law, >" is deserving of atten-
ton and respect. As a member of the
supreme court of the state, as well as a
student and intelligent observer of pass
ing movements and tendencies, Judge
Grant Is qualified as few men are to give
warning where warning is needed and to
urge action in directions that should not
be neglected. Reverence for law as the
religion of nation is the statement of an
ideal that will owe its clearest conception
and best advocacy 70 ,lichigan and its
people, as IS true vi some other of our

CONVICIS KILL GUARDS
IN Wild ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
They Blow up the Gates and Drive Through the City
Shooting In All Directions Leaders Killed
Balance Captured

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 25.--While
sitting in his Office in the Missouri
penitentiary late yesterday afternoon,
Deputy Warden See was attacked by
four armed convicts who came upon
him suddenly from the rear. He at
tempted to use his revolver, but it
was shot from his hand. The con-
victs then rushed for the gate of the
prison. John Clay, the head gate
keeper, refused to surrender the keys
and was shot through the head, dying
instantly. ~
. At this time Ephriam Allison, one
of the guards, appeared and received
a bullet in his head, killing him. The
convicts then used explosives to blow
up the prison gate, making their es-
cape, closely pursued by a body of
armed guards, who fired as they ran.
Hiram Blake, one of the escaping
convicts, was killed by Deputy War
den See, just after he had left the
prison. The convicts seized a wagon
and team and drove at break-neck

speed up Water street, firing right
and left, terrorizing the whole city.
The merchants left their business,
closed up their stores and joined in
the chase after the convicts, and with
in few moments posse was aug
mented by wagonload of guards
from the penitentiary. &
During the street duel between the
convicts and the citizens, John Young
was shot through the body, and it is
feared he will die. .. 55
The conyicts made for the open
country, and just as they were at the
outskirts, Harry Waugh, the leader Of
the mutiny, was badly wounded.
When, the other convicts saw there
was no further hope of escape they
surrendered. They were chained and
taken back to the penitentiary.
1t was learned after the prisoners
were taken back to the prison that a
plan had been formulated for the es-.
cape of many more prisoners, but the
plans of the leaders had miscarried.

London, Nov. 25.-The days cab.
met council, which although not orig.
inally summoned for that purpose had
to decide the question of the resigna.
ton or temporary prolongation of the
retention of office by the Balfourian
ministry, was attended by all the mem.
bers with the exception. of the Mar
quis of Salisbury, president Of the
board of trade. Only a few score Of
the public gathered in the vicinity OF
Downing street to witness the assem-,
bling Of the ministers and there was
no demonstration. It was regarded as
foregone conclusion that the cabinet
was going out and the only public In
terest was In the manner of its going
out, whether the premier and his col
leagues would take precipitate action
or decide to remain In Office for lit
tie while longer to wind up the bust
ness actually in hand. Mr.. Balfour'a
hand, It Is understood, was somewhat
forced by the resignation Of the Mar
quis of Londonderry, the president OF
the council and president of the board
of education, which was rendered a
few days ago. The question imme.
diately arose whether the collective
resignation of the ministry would not
be preferable to its gradual disintegra.

It is understood that the proposal
for the collective resignation Of the
cabinet was rejected and that the min,
listers arrived at the decision that It
would be better to dissolve parliament
themselves and appeal to the cleo
torates. Should this course be fol-
lowed It will be due largely to the well
grounded belief that the Liberals

FIFTY PERSONS on BOARD

Holland, Mich, Nov. 25.-During a
terrific storm on Lake Michigan dur.
Ing the night the passenger steamer
Argo of the Graham G Morton pas
ssnger feet went hard aground on a
sandbar north of the north pier and
all efforts to release her have up to
this time been futile.
The boat carries a crew of twenty.
two men and has thirty passengers
aboard, The boat is in great danger
of being pounded to pieces, as the
wind is shifting from the south to the
southwest. Owing to the heavy sea, it
is impossible for the lifesaving crew
to reach the steamer and the passen.
gers and crew may be taken off in the
breeches buoy. One of the Graham &
Morton steamers from Benton Harbor
is on the way to Holland to try to re-
lease the Argo. ...
It was finally decided to remove the
endangered passengers of the Argo
with the breeehes buoy. The lifesav-
Ing crew accordingly dragged their
cannon to a favorable spot on the
beach and fred a line across the rough
water to the Argo. It was made fast
on the steamer, the breeches buoy was
sent out and the rescue work began.
At I o'clock the cable used to haul
the breeches buoy parted. At the time
this accident occurred there were
seven passengers and the crew OF
twenty-five men remaining on the
Argo.
The lifesaving crew, when their buoy
line broke, realized the peril OF the
situation and again took to their surf
boat In q desperate effort to reach the
steamer. The sea Is running noun
tain high and II Is not thought the
ifesavers viii succeed, #
