JOHN MOReAKs ESCAPE
Forty-Fifth Anniversary Of the Escape
of the Famous Raider From the
Columbus Penitentiary.
Snecial to the Herald.

Special to the deTalo.
Columbus, O., Nov. 27.-Today was
the forty-fifth anniversary OF the es-
cape of General John H. Morgan, the
famous raider" and Thomas H. Hines
from the penitentiary in this city.
The sensation which the escape OF the
famous prisoners of war created Is
still fresh in the memory of the older
generation both north and south.
The cell from which General MOI
gan escaped is still pointed out TO
visitors to the penitentiary The round
hole which formed the entrance to the
tunnel through which the escape was
effected may still be seen. Some
wears ago tablet commemorative the
event was placed above the cell door.
Since the day of Morgan's escape the
cell has never been occupied.
Accounts of the escape differ and
are told in many and varied forms.
The, most plausible, however, is that
hole was cut in the stone slab in
the floor, through the ground beneath
into an air chamber which runs be-
meath the cell block. Moving along
the air chamber the prisoners wormed
their way eight cells east and then
started digging out beneath the hall
and under the wall until the level of
the female department was reached.
Here the tunnel was dug upward and
opened in the yard. Securing rope
and hook on the night of November
~, 1868, the escape was effected by
nkhrowing the hook upon the wall and
climbing the rope. After clearing the
prison wall General Morgan hailed
passing cab and was driven to the de-
pot. He took a train for Cincinnati,
and from there crossed the Ohio river
into Kentucky, where he met his fate
in trying to avoid recapture.

CALLED FROM EARTH
Demise of ArmStead FieIdion, a
Well KNOWN Citizen of
Sauk Centre

Armstead Fieldien, we'll known
and highly respected citizen of Sauk
Centre, died at his home in this city
at 8:15 p. M, Dec. 30.
The funeral services were held from
the G. A. R. hall at 2p. m. Thursday
Rev. F. H. Oehler officiating. Inter
ment was in Oakland cemetery. The
G. A. R. attended in IA body and
members of the organization officiated
as pail bearers, Mr.. Fieldien being a
member.
Deceased was born at Cambridge,
Mass, Dec. 2, 1912. In 1856 he re-
moved to Shakopee, Mimi, and when
the war broke out he enlisted at that
place in Co. A, Fourth Minnesota,
serving three years. He was dis
charged for disability and since that
date was constantly under the care Of
physician.
May %, 1866 MIR. Fieldien was
married, at Shakopee, to Miss Lucy
Frances Warn. He removed from
Shakopee to Sauk Centre July 10,
1869, and resided here continuously
nntil his death.

Mrs. Fieldien, namely, four girls and
two boys. of whom three survive theil

MAKING STARS AND STRIPES.
100000 American Flags a Year for
the Children.

100000 American Flags a Year for
the Children.
When one stops to think that every
year enough flags are made in the
United States to supply all the men,
women and children resident therein
with at least one each, it will be seen
that there is ample reason why the
manufacturers should make every ef-
fort to expedite the process of flag
production. Although each year not
less than 100000 American flags are
made, that number forms only part
of the host of star-spangled banners
of various sizes that are born, live,
and die between January and Janu-
ary. Many millions of printed flags
come into existence annually. If the
material is used cotton of silk, the
flags are printed from copper rollers.
in the same way that the designs for
what is called print goods are placed
upon cotton cloth. Muslin flags and
those of paper are printed upon an or
binary cylinder press, from iron blocks
and heavy .electrotypes. No one knows
the number of the smallest muslin
flags that are made annually An idea
may be gained from the fact that one
large establishment which makes a
specially of them turns out $1,000 a
day. Such flags are printed in
sheets, ranging in size of sheet from
36x52 to 40x72 inches, each sheet of
the smaller flags containing, as a rule,
exactly two gross.

At Least C'rcumstantiaI Evidence
Proved 1t.
The late Senator Pugh of Alabama
practiced law for many years in Eu-
faula. A Eufaula man said of him the
other day.
I'm an eloquent speech on circum-
stantial evidence once heard Senator
Pugh drive home the danger of this
sort of evidence with a good story.
He said that Eufaula woman
made one of those corn pone puddings
for which the ladies of our state are
famous. She Put the pudding on the
shelf to cool, and then she went out
to have dress fitted. He little son
Jabez was left alone in the house.
''JabeZ played with his toys till he
got hungry. Then he put a chair be-
meath the shelf, climbed up, and ate
all of the delicious pone pudding that
his small interior would possibly hold.
Then he caught the cat, dabble I
her four paws in the soft yellow Gus
tard in the bottom of the dish, and
then set her down. She scampered
through the kitchen into the dining
room and parlor and thence out of
doors. On the bare boards of the
kitchen on the dining rooms red car
pet, and on the parlor's carpet of
green she left impartially small golden
footprints, very neat, very conspicu-
Gus. The boy smiled softly to himself.
And that evening, on his fathers
return, he heard wild scampering be-
low, the banging of the front door, a
terrified mewing, and the sharp crack
of a rifle.
Then little Jabez smiled softly to
himself again.
All me- he said. there goes on
other victim of circumstantial evi-
dence.'"

AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.

Most of the Graduates Returned to
Country Life.
There was introduced at the last
session of congress bill to apprOpri
ate $4,000, 900 annually for industrial
education in high schools of secondary
grade. 1t is proposed in that bill to
devote about half CT this sum to in
struction in mechanic arts and home
economics in city high schools and
half to instruction in agriculture and
home economics in agricultural high
schools. There have been established
in various states between thirty and
forty agricultural high schools articu-
lating with the rial schools below
and with the agricultural colleges
above AS these schools return most
of their graduates to country life
they are properly said to articulate
with the farm also. This bill would
cause the states to establish 200 or
800 more of these agricultural high
schools, one for each ten agricultural
counties. Numerous cities have estab-
lished mechanic arts high schools, and
others have introduced mechanic arts
and home economics as elective stud
les into their general high school
courses.

that it is the duty of the driver of the

In other countries, on the contrary,
it is the duty of the pedestrian to give
