That another daring jail break wa.
attempted by the prisoners of tn,
county Jail a few nights ago has be.
come known. 1t was not successful
because the plotters were unable tc
finish their work and escape before
daylight came on.
In general way the latest attempt
at a breakaway was similar to the one
which occurred in September with
better results for the prisoners. BY
means of small hack saws the prison.
ers cut their way through the grated
iron wall of the cell corridor. The
hole was cut on the east side of the
upper cell and close to the place where
Weddle, Young and Bowman went
through few months ago.
After cutting through the cell wall
the prisoners there were five or six

to the floor Of the big jail corridor.
They then had nothing but the grated
Jail windows between them and free
dom. Since the last Jail break oc-
CURED the barred windows have been
strengthened by cross pieces. except
ing at the very top. 1t was on the
upper part of one of the windows
that the men worked. one of the
bars was cut through by means of
saw. But owing to the height of the
place the work was difficult, and when
the bar had been sawed the prisoners
could not bend back the bar so as to
permit them to pass through The
strongest men in the Jail tried their
muscle on the job but failed to bend
the bar. By that time the saws had
become dulled by the hard usage
they had been subjected to.

Discovered by Taylor.
The fact that a break had almost
occurred was not discovered until
nearly s o'clock. when Sheriff Taylor
entered the Jail to let the prisoners
out of the cells. At glance he knew
something was wrong from the be-
havior of the men. But a quick sur
vey of the windows showed no one had
gotten through. and he took his time
for further investigation. on the
east side the big hole in the cell wall
showed that more saws had been fur

Rochester, MINI, Jan. 13.-This town
is attracting a great deal Of attention
thruout the state on account of the re-
vival now being conducted here by Rev.
William A. Sunday, the famous base
ball evangelist of Chicago. The meet
ings are being held in an immense
tabernacle, constructed especially for
these services in the heart of the town.
The building seats $500 persons and is
filed at nearly every meeting.
The effects of the revival are felt In
all the surrounding towns and farmers
from far and near drive to Rochester
daily to attend the meetings. Local
business houses, that formerly kept
open in the evenings, now close at G
pm. to enable their employees to at
tend.
Two services are held daily and three
on Sunday. Music is furnished by a
choir of $50 voices, led by F. G.. Fisher
who accompanies Mr.. Sunday in his
evangelistic tour. The revival has been
in progress now two weeks and will
continue for another two weeks.
Next Wednesday special train viii
come to Rochester bringing large
crowd from Winona. Other excursions
have been arranged and hundreds Of
conversions are expected to result from
the campaign.
The movement for a revival was be
gun year ago at meeting in the
study Of Rev. Charles 81. Curtis of the
Congregational church. A committee
representing the six churches, was ap
pointed to make the necessary arrange
ments. The result of the committee y
work is seen in the remarkable interest
taken in these services.
Rev. Mr.. Sunday, the evangelist, goe
to Princeton from here and will be a
Austin, Mimi, in March. He is an elo
quent speaker and his personality win
instant attention from his large congre
cations.

any who are willing to surrender their

The interest will run on them for a

cash is ready to take them up. They
are due in 1907 and 1909, $500 the
first year and the balance two years
later. The state has taken up all out
standing emergency warrants, and the
total debt at present not provided fol
is about 100000 Of general and var
rants, giving the state debt of prac
tically $1.3O per capita on the present
population. This is a record Of which
the state should be proud, but one
which will be beaten before the close OF
the present year.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 13.-William r.
Taylor, Wisconsin s famous granger
governor Of thirty years ago, who in his
declining days has gone to the Glsholt
home for the aged, has led life filled
with adventure and romance. Now, in
his feeble old days, he sits in small,
uncarpeted room with only bed and
trunk for company, dreaming away
his time and with no friends or kin to
cheer his loneliness.
The story Of his great fight with the
railroads; how he rode into power on
the granger movement; how he sue

that the state is supreme over corpora

effected, only to see all his work swept

Eldora, Iowa, Jan. 13.-What has be-
come Of Baron Heinrich Won Reitzen-
stein9
This question is being asked here and
no person seems able to give a salts
factory answer. A resident of Eldora
for more than a year, in which he be-
came popular in social circles, his dis
appearance is as much surprise as his
coming in 1904. Won Reitzenstein is a
German nobleman, handsome and well
educated. He took up the teaching of
German as profession here, more for
the purpose Of becoming a part Of the
active American life he admired, than
from necessity. He came to this coun-
try during the world s fair in 1893 and
lived for time at Toledo, Ohio, where
he published a paper.
No reason is known for his sudden
disappearance from Eldora. Many per
sons believe he has returned to Ger
many, while others are Of the opinion
that some accident has befallen him
His friends regret his absence but can
give no reason for the baron s abrupt
| departure.
