Des Moines, Aug. 17.-If "the cross

William Jennings Bryan's first cam

of Democracy during the on-coming
campaign. Not, however. that it is
to be officially recognized as such by
democratic campaign writer's, or is
to wake the autumnal echoes as the
democratic orators hurl from the
stump their invectives against the
wickedness of the party in power.
The "fast in the wilderness" cry is
rather being thrust upon them by re-
publican photographers, and by the
public which has perused Mr.. Bryan's
speech of acceptance. 1t is scarcely
possible if he had searched for meta
phor more appropriate to the present
situation and less tactful from a dem
ocratic standpoint, that the nominee
could have chosen one which has
proved such a source Of Joy to- the par
agrapher of the opposition press, or
with greater possibilities for republi-
can orators.
Mr.. Bryan deplores what he terms
the corruption and rottenness within
the republican party, ascribing the
reason therefore to the long era of ad.
lninistration to which the party has
been intrusted.
"Not," says the nominee, until that
party passes through a period of fast.

From Mondays Daily
Armed with a revolver, a razor and
a club, two prisoners overpowered w.
Wyatt and John Schmidt. trus-
ties in charge of the county
jail and made their escape about 6
o'clock Saturday evening. The break
for liberty was made when the cell
door was opened to give the prisoners
their supper This is the third Jail de-
livery within six weeks, Stanley Wi
ley, who is charged with robbery, and
larceny, escaped
of the city, and Turnkey Frank
SISlSu lldu DuSlIlSSS Ill Ill0 y.
The TRUSTEES had charge of the Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Mike Garvin was the
only officer in the city, and he was
quickly notified and an organized
effort was made to apprehend the fugi-
tives After a futile effort to overtake
the fleeing criminals the deputy sheriff
! put himself in communication with
surrounding towns in an effort to ap-
prehend the jail breakers.
Woman is Suspected.
1t is not definitely known how the
prisoners secured the weapons, but a
woman of Ill repute is suspected T',is
woman was only released from the
county bastile July %, after serving
thirty days. She returned to the Jail
last Thursday and asked to speak to
Wiley. She was granted this privilege
as nothing crooked was suspected
and it is now thought by the officials
that she had the revolver and razor
concealed in her dress and gave them
to the prisoners. They had evidently
bee nwaiting since that time for an
opportunity to escape.
Overpower Wyatt.
The escape was effected when w
| Wyatt, trusty, opened the door OF
the cell to give the two men their
supper. They rushed upon him with
out warning. and showing the end OF
the revolver in his face told him to
stand aside and be quiet or he would
get the contents of the gun Day held
the revolver, and Wiley was armed
with razor and club He took the
lead down the stairs. John Schmidt
a trusty, heard the noise and hurried
to the assistance of Wyatt. He made
a grab at Wilev but missed, and Wi
ley struck at him with the club. Al
this point the negro leveled the revol
yer at Schmidt and said: Don't yor
grab that man or I'll shoot" Beins
unarmed the men were powerless tt
resist Wiley took the lead dowr
stairs to the office, while Day, holdins
the revolver pointing at the two, back
ed down out of sight. AS they reached
the Office they turned and ran out o
the front door. Deruty Sheriff Mike
Garvin was Immediately notified ant
he, Wyatt and Constable Criswell, Sc
out after them, but as they had sever
al minutes the start they were no
overtaken.
