furnished as cheaply as gravel, winch costs

ceive no intelligent person. Mr.. Frost then
took up the financial question, showing the
increase in taxation and in valuation under
the two years of Democratic rule.
Passing to the Mayors promises before
election Mr. Frost spoke of the meeting
in the Opera Honse, when Mr.. Hanson
told his hearers how he proposed to build
schoolhouse. He said that as the speaker
went on he closed his eyes and could see on
the common modern fully equipped school
building. But when he concluded there
was a rude awakening for it appeared
that the building of the schoolhouse depen-
ded on Mr.. Frederick giving the city such
an ediice, and it was learned that Mr..
Frederick had no power to dispose of the
property by which this plan was to be car
ried out, and would not have that power
for some years to come. Mr.. Frost said he
did not believe in waiting for any one to
die or to present the city with new school
house. The need for such building was
imperative The present buildings were
unsuitable and unsanitary, and in point of
sanitation not to be compared with the barn
on Horace Chenery's farm in Belmont. In
eighteen months under two years of
Republican administration we could build
schOOlhouse without increasing the present
tax rate. Another before election promise
of the Mayor was that of bringing here
from Chicago business that had occupied
a building four Stories high and 100 feet
long; width not stated. If he was correctly
informed not buttle of the medicine
had been manufactured in Belfast. Is

FROM JAIL
Herbert Glenn Bids Officers
a Fond Adieu.
BARS ARE SAWED OFF
Was Suspected in the West
brook Case.
Local Authorities are on the Watch
for the Prisoner Who Is Said to
Have Started for Marion.

A jail delivery occurred at Mt.
Gilead about 8 o'clock last evening,
and as result, Herbert Glenn who
was held awaiting his trial on the
charges of being an accomplice in the
murder of Chad Westbrook, made his
escape. The young man succeeded in
saving through a series OF heavy
steel bars and managed to make a
safe getaway before his trickery was
discovered.
"A message was received at local po-
lice headquarters last night from
Mt. Gilead, warning the local au-
ithorities 10 be on the lookout for
the prisoner. as 1t was thought that
he started for this city. A liberal
reward is offered for his recapture.
Miss Jennie Slater, q young lady
employed as waitress at the Sawyer
Sanatorlum Is said TO be Glenn's
sweetheart and the authorities are OF
the opinion that the prisoner will
make an attempt to see her before he
leaves for parts unknown. The Mt.
Gilead authorities firmly believe that
1t was largely due to the efforts OF
John Slater, brother of the pris.
ones sweetheart, that he made his
escape.
The Slater family resides at Mar
tel and It Is said that since Glenn's
delivery, John Slater cannot be
found. The local police were work
ing hard on the case today, but
could secure no clue to the escaped
prisoner.

after n thorough search, found him
concealed beneath a bed.
Glenn went to the Clark home
early this morning and succeeded
in renting a room. He stayed in
the room all morning. The Officers,
however, were close upon his heels
and experienced little trouble in To-
Gazing him. Glenn offered no resis-
tance when captured and only
calmly remarked You've got me, /
