SLIPPED FROM JAIL UNDER WIPES SKIRT Feat of Notorious Indian Grim
 inaI is Recalled FIRST SENTENCE IN 1861 shockiey Escaped Many Times From Strong Steel Bars, But Now, at
 Age of Seventy, He Is
 Too Old.
FIRST SENTENCE IN 1861

Winchester, md, Saturday. and bent with age Madison Shockey, perhaps the most noted common thief In diana has ever produced, is once again within the walls of the Michigan City prison, from which he probably will never emerge alive. Shockley is now seventy years old and his health is broken.
 Shockleys record is a remarkable one. He has just started his sixth term of penal servtude. He has escaped from prison three times and in various counties in the state has slipped from the county jails as though he had a key No jailer ever felt safe until he saw Shockley on his way to prison. and then the troubles of the prison officials began
 A unique and one of the most remark able escapes on record was that of Shock ley from the Randolph county bastile during the civil war, when ShoclIley made his way to freedom concealed beneath his wife's skirts Shockley was in his prime then and was agile as an aero bat. As usual. Shocxley was in the jail old log structure at that time on charge of larceny One afternoon his wife, weeping over her husbands impris- onment, called at the Jail
 AS was the 1aSnlOn at the tllle, Sile wore a spacious crinoline skirt. Mrs. Shockley remained but a few moments, when she left, still weeping and walking slowly. Beneath the bell-shaped skirt was the prisoner, walking on his hands and knees. When the sheriff went to give the other prisoners their evening meal he discovered Shockley's absence.
 Shockley was first sent to Michigan City for four years in 1861 He escaped in Au- gust. 1862 and was retaken in March, 1864. In 1867 he was sent up as Daniel Rice for a term of seven years. but escaped from the prison in November of that year. He was retaken. however, in the following June. He was sentenced on burglary charge from Miami county again in 1874. In 1881 he was convicted for a fourth time in Winchester. He received an eight year sentence in 1890 and escaped in August, 1892, only to be retaken a few months later.
 He was convicted here recently for the sixth time on a charge of house robbery, and on account of his enfeebled condition this probably will be his last term. His spirit is as daring of ole, however for during his stay in the jail here this sum mer he made two unsuccessful efforts to get away.
 Shockley often went under the aliases of Daniel Rice and Solomon Hunt His forte has always been larceny, and he probably has a longer record in this line than any other criminal in the state

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
 CERTAINTY OF MERIT,

When the maker of medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his patients fully into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broad cast as well as on it's bottle wrappers, a full list of all it's ingredients i,o pIain English, this action on his part Is the best possible evidence that he Is not afraid to have the search light of inves- tigation turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. Dr. Perce's Favorite Prescription for tho cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional Arrangements of the or gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi- cine put up for sale through druggists for woman's special use. the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity.
 A glance at the published ingredients on each bottle wrapper, will show that it is made wholly from native, American, medicinal roots, that it contains no poi sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used instead of the commonly employed alco- hol, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed. It is the only medicine for women's peculiar diseases, sold by drug gists, that does not contain q large per centage of alcohol, which is in the long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nery- ous system. Now, glycerine is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose by possessing intrinsic value all its OWE, and besides it enhances the curative effect of the other ingredients entering into the "Favoritc Prescription"
 Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise all the several ingredients of which "Fa- vorite Prescription is composed = rec ommending them for the cure of the very same diseases for which this world famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for women has any such pro fesslo,tdJ endorsement-worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If interested, send name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, II. Y., for his little book of extracts from the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, endorsing the several ingredients and telling just what Dr. Pierce's medicines are made of. It's free for the asking.

The ab- sence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is common diSap- pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childleSs couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous.
