JAKE MILLER
 CAPTURED FRIDAY. In Saline County, Then Escaped Again by Jumping from
 Moving Train.

Friday night Sheriff Kavanaugh received a telephone message from an officer of Saline County telling him of the capture of Jake Miller and of his subsequent es- cape.
 Some time ago Sheriff Kava- naugh received information that Miller could be found at the home of a relative in Saline county and he requested the sheriff of that county to make the arrest. The sheriff being busy with the tax collecting, sent a deputy. No trouble was experienced in making the arrest and the deputy started back to Benton with the man. They boarded a freight train late in the evening n q were on the way to town when Miller jumped from the rapidly moving train and escaped in the darkness. The deputy could not leave the train, he being in fear of his life should he jump, so he could do nothing but go into Ben ton and report the escape of Mil Ter. The fugitive was formerly a sWitchman in the Argenta yards, so he had no trouble in hit ting the ground running away from the officer. as he swung from the door of the box car in which he was riding.
 Miller is one of the men who escaped from the Pulaski County jail in February by saving from the cage, and digging hole in the brick wall of the jail. He was awaiting trial for shooting W. L. Smink at the time of his escape.

 That part of society that has been churned cannot properly be called the cream.
 Grind, grind That daily grind in an effort to get something that is printable, or write something that will cater to our readers, is not only irksome, but tiresome in the extreme. Why not have a ball game? Give us something of the outdoors that we may hurrah until we are so hoarse that when we go home THE KID will be unable to recognize us by our voice?
 The world is full of men and women who do nothing. They impose upon those who work too much.
 Such cases are often found when there are a number of em- ployes on the same job. There is always that laggard that hangs back for some other fellow to take the iniative. Of course they don't always stay on the job. They are generally the ones to get let out as soon as force cut ting time comes. or when there is an applicant to fill his or her place.

Every one should work out their own salvation. No other person can do it for you. The same thing applies to your situa- tion. You are hired to do a specific thing, and if you expect to save yourself on the job, it behooves you to get busy and stay busy.

BLACK HAWK NEWS

Mrs. Pircher went to Denver Mon
day morning.
The Women of Woodcraft have chang
ed the date of their show. Instead OF
the performance being given Thanks
giving night, it will be given the even
ing before. The change was made SC
that the event would not conflict with
the band boys dance to be given in
Central on Thanksgiving.
There was some excitement in Black
Hawk yesterday. A husband came
home and finding fellow swinging on
his gate, engaging his wife in conversa-
ton, proceeded to give the intruder g
good pummeling. The names of the
parties to the episode are withheld.
The masculine gender of Black Hawk
society is being entertained at chatting
dish parties in the evenings at Wald-
hart's during the absence of the host s
wife. These are most exclusive and
are rapidly becoming very popular.
Mrs. Joseph Waldhart, who went to
Cripple Creek last week to have an op-
Grafton performed on her eyes by an
expert, is getting along nicely.
The Degree of Pocahontas initiated
Mrs. Froid, Mrs. Vine and Miss Mary
Thompson at their meeting last even
ing. A big spread was served after The
initiation and general good time fol
lowed.
J. N. Rachofsky was business pas
senger to Denver Tuesday morning.
Mrs. John Kurtz left for Denver this
morning.
Some one is in the habit of having
nasal hemorrhages frequently in front
of Borzago's store and if the proprietor
of the place catches them they will be
bleeding from a place other than the
nose.
The Iron City mill, which was recent
ly purchased by H. P. Lowe, will be
put in operation within few days and
will run on Frontenac ore.
All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the big anniversary dance to
be given by the Red Men on the 11th of
December. There will be grand ex-
hibition of combination of the Merry
Widow waltz and the Salome dance in
front of the hall by the braves preced-
ing the main event that will be well
worth witnessing. This will be free,
but ought to be charged for.
Justice Geo. Matthews, who was TAX
en- to Denver week or ten days ago to
undergo an operation, is still i'll in that
city. The operation was successful but
he is not recuperating very rapidly.

Macready was a stage tyrant at
rehearsals and quite unpopular
among the actors in his support. The
great tragedian insisted upon holding
the center of the stage at all times
and his will was law until one night
when playing Hamlet at New Orleans
he met his match in the person who
was playing the king. Just as Ham
let stabbed the king, the latter re-
solved to die in the center of the
stage In Macready's spot. The poi
son was burning in Hamlet's veins
and he was in the agonies of death
when he observed the king writhine
upon the spot selectt,I by the melan-
choly Dane for his dissolution. Get
out of there" whispered Macready tC
the dying king. THAT is my spot
I'm king and I'll die where please,
responded the actor with an extra
writhe of agony. Pick out a place
for yourself" And Macready let out
his soul further up the stage.

THE LITTLE CHERUB."

Hattie Williams was again Win
us last evening, presenting for the
last time her musical comedy the
Little Cherub." AS it was the last
production. that may account for
the raggedness of the performance
1t was not an artistic presentation
and there was a dearth of the gooG
comedy work that characterized the
comedy when seen here before. Sew
eral of those in the speaking and
singing parts forgot themselves on
several occasions. The scenic effects
were all that could be desired but
the costumes looked draggy, with
perhaps the exception of Miss Will
liamss wardrobe, which held the
close attention of the ladies present.
There was a lack of snap and vigor
in the choruses and the soloists were
not sufficiently captivating to call for
many encores. There was one ex-
ception in the case of Miss Adele
Rowland, who seemed to be the only
one aside from the star who was
capable of bringing out applause.
Miss Williams gave some very clever
transformations, but the comedy as
whole was very disappointing.
