John Haynlan Breaks from Montgomery 1, Jail. PLANS TO KILL TURNKEY Circumstances Alone Saved Life of
 MT. Fabel. I've Negroes Excnvsted Concrete Floor i.g of Cell and Slipped Through se Liberty in Early Morning
 -stin at Large.
PLANS TO KILL TURNKEY

The fact that Night Turnkey Herman ]. Fabel of the Montgomery County fail left the door opening into the jail- CTS corridor open and turned to the right instead of to the left Sunday morning saved his life and permitted John Hayman, alias Andrew Borders. . condemned murderer, sentenced to die on the gallows, and John Jones, alias Croff Brown, awaiting trial for several burglary and larceny offenses. both ne- groes, to escape without being seen. They are still at large.
 John Hayman was sentenced to death for killing Lula Lumpkin. a negress. The court set June 1st as the date of his death but the execution of sent ence was suspended pending an appeal to the Supreme Court
 The prisoners affected their escape by tearing out the plumbing in the cell where they were confined with two other negroes. Tom Benjamin, whose sentence of death had been reversed by the Supreme Court. and Reub Jordan. who was awaiting sentence in grand larceny case. The concrete flooring of the cells at the jail Is old and weak and was easily torn up on the inside of the cell with the assistance of piece of iron pipe taken from a hand-rail leading to the upper tier of cells and carried during the day into the com partment occupied by the four prison CTS
 Excavations Were Made.
 hole some three feet deep had been dug by them at the place where the sewer pipes were torn out and ex- cavation under the4concrete flooring of the jaiIer's corridor had been made. The piece of iron pipe was then brought into action and the layer of concrete was broken for a sufficient area to allow the bodies of the two prisoners to pass through.
 The flooring on the outside was broken after 2 o'clock Sunday morning, for at that hour Constables Smith and Shackelford took a prisoner to the jail and MT. Fabel made a round of the cor ridor and found everything all right At sometime between that hour and 1 80 o'clock when they made their escape the negroes got into the outside cor ridor.
 About 4:s0 o'clock Sunday morning MT. Fabel went into the cell room to awaken some of the "trusties" to as- sist the jail cook in preparing the prisoners meals. The cells where these 'trusties" are kept are at the back or north end of the jail. The route to them is just about as short turning to the left as to the right. It was the fact that Mir. Fabel turned to the right that saved him from violence at the made every preparation they could their way out.

Provisions from Trees.

There is tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti sies of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found .i,e cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. itissaidto be equally good and nu tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphss Ledger.

coy. lEE PARDONS HARRY DANIELS.
Nona Freighf Engineer Wh0 Killed Dr. V. !. Nagness GnaH Ills liberty
 from Penit0ntidry.

Little Rock. April 20 Harry Daniels. WHO was convicted at the January 1905, term of the Sevier county circuit co1rt and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on charge of kill ing Dr. W. T. Magness at AIena August 10, 1904, was parGone0 by Acting Governor John P. Lee, yesterday. Daniels had served nine months of his five years sentence.
 The charge for which Daniels was sent to the penitentiary was the killing of Dr. w. T. Magness, a prominent physician of Mena. Daniels in his defense charged that bIagness had invaded the sanctity of his home. He walked into the store of the Davis Drug Company at Mena about 3 o'clock the morning of August 19, 1904 and fired two shots at Dr. Mag ness, who was standing at the counter tying up package. Dr. Magness fell on the floor, and, reloading his revolver, Daniels went to the City park, where an anniversary fair was being held. There he gave himself up to Sheriff Joplin and was taken to jail. He refused to make any statement at the time and later when the case was called in cir cult court at Mena he asked for a change of venue to Sevier county, where the case was tried at the January, 19O5, term of court.
 Daniels was charged by indict- of the Polk County Grand Jury with murder in the first degree, but this was modified to murder in the second degree by the jury at Lockesburg and he was sen- tenced to five years in the peni- tentiary. Soon after his sen- tence was pronounced Daniels was brought to this city and placed in the penitentiary. He had served nine months when pardoned yesterday.

FEAR OF ogRAt AtAN MvAslo.
pmber o.s Mt Warranted by \ Tatser-T Subjects at Prese, 71g in South-E -Lr,r4 --s-~

German migration to Soufs America, and especially to soms of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein q sil lsteE scheme Of imperial conquest For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not wei, founded. O1e such reason ia that the number of Germans ia Brazil Ia not, after all, omiaoCs lv large. The total popuIa tioa o' Brazil, according to the census of 1s9Q, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, bHt careful estimates now pla"a the total at more than 100000. ot which number less than 3,0o0,O21 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than l4.000,0o8 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,70o,000 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300, ,00 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti, mate Of the number of Germans in Brazil Is only 45o,o00, O. lit tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra. zil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer' ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form 8 ma jority of their population, ss some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there ara 100000 of them, but the whole populatio of the state is 900, 900, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. Tn Santa Catha, rina the Germans are 100000 ;n total of 300,0OO, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,001 in 2S0,000, and in Sac Paulo 30,~ 900 in l 1,430,000
 It is pointed out ss ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub !ish newspapers in German aud to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools We'll, the same may be said Of Germans in New York, and h Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit ical, but commercial. Tue profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case toe much stress cannot easily be laid.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be 6 constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney X Co.,. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system.
