TO MAKE Y. N. c. A.
SELF SUPPORTING
CAMPAIGN FOR 100 MORE MEM.
RERs HAS BEEN STARTED
EVERY DEPARTMENT or THE
WORK 10 IN A coon, HEALTHY
CONDITION.

AS result OF meeting OF the board
Of directors Of the " II. G. A., held
last night. a still hunt for new mem
bers was started this morning by the
secretaries Of the association, and will
be continued In a quiet way until 10G
additional members have been secured
This campaign was started for the
purpose Of making the Y M. G. a.
self-supporting Institution, as with
the addition Of 100 more members, the
dues from the enrolment will about
cover the cost OF running the associa-
ton. 1t is the desire OF the directors
and secretaries to run the x. M. G. A.
without securing subscriptions and this
can be done during the next year with
an enrolment Of 900 members.
At present the enrolment is about
500 and from indications 1t viii not be
hard matter to secure 100 more with
annual dues at $40.
The meeting last night was the reg
ular monthly session of the directors
and was held at the residence of Gen
eral Secretary Allen. The reports from
the several departments OF the x. M
c. "a. show that 1t is in very good shape
and the prospects for the future are
very bright.
The plans for the coming summers
work were discussed and some plans
were adopted for carrying on the
work The boys department will be
reorgantzed to some extent and Sec
retary Goodrich Of this division has
outlined a number Of things for his
boys. He has planned to start the ko-
dak club for the summer and will start
observation tours to points Of interest
in the vicinity early in the spring. Trips
will be made to the agricultural col
lege, the Northern Pacific railroad
shops at DilWorth and a number of
other interesting places.
1t was reported at the meeting That
the cue roquet tables, which, were re-
Gently installed in the boys department
are very popular and considerable is
being made out of them, a charge of
2 cents being made per cue for each
game 1t was decided to apply this
fund in paying for the tables and after
this had been accomplished the funds
viii be applied to the Improvement OF
the boys department. New pieces OF
furniture and decorations will be pur-
chased.
There has been a great increase in
the membership OF the physical de-
partment, the business mems and the
working boys classes making notable
gains. This department of work is one
of the attractive features of the Y. M,
c. A., and the business men of the city
are beginning to realize its benefit.
In the religious and educational de-
partments much has been accomplished
and all classes are we'll attended. In
all, the entire association shows mark
ed Improvement and a healthy condi-
ton is in evidence for future work.

FUGITIVES ARE
SOUTH OF CITY
SHERIFF BOYLE HAS CLUES
WHICH MAKE HIM SURE DEAN
AND MORRISON TOOK SOUTH
ERIN AVENUE or EscAPE--EF.
FORTS cENTERED THERE.

Clues which have come into the
possession of Sheriff Boyle within the
past thirty-six hours have led the
sheriff to draw Off his deputies from
other stations and set them to work
In the country south Of the city In an
effort to capture George Dean, Frank
Morrison and William Dudley, the trio
who escaped from the county jail
Tuesday evening.
The first inkIing as to the avenue Of
escape selected by the fugitives came
in the shape Of news from a farmer
about seven miles south OF the city to
the effect that two men had been seen
in that vicinity about s o'clock yester-
day morning. The farmer did not OBJ
tain a near view OF the men, but was
able to say that neither wore an
overcoat They were attempting to
enter his barn, but were driven off by
watch dog. This report was given
additional strength by another coming
from man living mile west OF Wild
Rice, wins a few hours later saw the
pair.
The authorities entertain the theory
that Dean and Morrison are sticking
together and travelling only at night,
keeping under cover in the daytime. If
they have NOT done so already. the
sheriff believes. they will at their earl
lest opSrtunity ride blind baggage" on
d south bound train To head them
OFF Deputy sheriff Bingham left last
night atS:30 on the south bound c., M
& st. p. train, while Patrolman Pat
Grant took passage on the Great
Northern train that left two hours lat
err. AT every step along the road both
trains were keenly watched to see If
anyone answering the description of
the fugitives tried to take passage.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no
success had attended the efforts Of
either officer, although the reports
made to Sheriff Boyle show that the
scent is warm.
A report gained circulation this
morning to the effect that the fugi-
tives had been working on the delivery
for week. All except the outer layer
Of bricks In the wall, it was said, had
been removed gradually and hidden
under the mattress in Deans cell.
When the time for the break was ripe
all the prisoners had to do was to
knock out the outerlayer of bricks.
This is denied by Sheriff Boyle, how
ever. 1t was impossible for the fugi-
tives to conduct this work, he says,
for the reason that not only the walls,
but the bunk of every prisoner, are
carefully watched-examined three
or four times a day.
The hole was knocked out in, half an
hours time, he believes. BY curious
coincidence, the break occurred in
identically the same place and under
practically the same conditions as that
Of about ave years ago, in Sheriff
Twichells time, when q prisoner poked
a hole through the wall and escaped
The hole was patched up but 1t could
not be made very strong and this fact
was appreciated BY the fugitives, who
must have noticed the patch.

AS a wealth producer the milk and
dairy products Of this country are five
times the value of the wheat crop and
twice the value of the corn crop, ac-
cording to w. w. Wall, secretary of
the dairy and food department Of the
state Of Minnesota.
THE United States consumes more
than nine billion gallons of milk an

gallons of milk for every man, woman

This represents, including milk,
butter and cheese, a value of $2,50O,

total wealth of the nation.
"It Is interesting to see what this
amount of money would do. One halt

BIG PLANTS AT work.
Operations Resumed i'm Industries of
Sheffield.


Shefield. Aug 5.-(SpeciaI)-The
Sheffield Cast Iron Pipe ana Foundry
Company, one OF the largest industries
in this city. resumed onaration yester-
day with a large force of men. and
the scene OF activity 10 similar to that
OF eighteen months ago, when the
| plant closed. following the financial
panic.
While not yet running at its full ca
| pacity. 1t is only a question of short
time until it will be. There are now
$50 men employed. which number will
be shortly increased to 2bO. Much la
Dor and expense have been employed
for the past six or eight months, put
ting the plant in the very latest and
most modern condition to manufacture
high grade pipe. and tests made have
been very satisfactory. The pay roll
Of this industry win amount to sever
al thousands Of dollars monthly.
The three stove plants are doing an
increased business and have SUFFICIENT
orders on hand to insure steady work.
The Sheffield Casting and Manufac-
turing Company. manufacturers of soil
pipe, is well supplied with orders, and
its force will likely be increased of
necessity within a short while.
