 In some manner the aged prisoner suuc- ceeded si getting loose some of the bars to the window of his cell and during the night he tore the blankets on his bed into strips and made rope of them. After fastening the blanket rope in his cell he threw the end out of the win dow and attempted to climb down to the ground.
 The blanket rope was not as strong as the aged prisoned thought for 1t is be- lieved he had just began to descend when the rope broke and he fell to the ground, about 15 feet below. The old man was badly broken up and bruised but. hurt as he was. he attempted to get away. His injuries were such that he was easi- ly captured this morning after it was discovered he had escaped.

THE WORLD AND A WOMAN"

While The World and Woman
has moments that give hard tugs at
ones heart-strings, it has full quota
of laughs 1t tells powerful story,
wildly illustrating what person can
be led into doing to cover up crime IN
nocently committed, at the same time
being replete with sparkling epigrams,
bright comedy, funny situations, and
has an interesting and deliclously re-
freshing love story running through It,
according to the press agent. THE
World and Woman" demonstrates TO
the full satisfaction of theatre-goers
the fact that a short-cast play is the
reigning success. With only limited
number of characters, this drama OF
American life does more than plays
with three times the number, and is in
class with such successes as The
Thief" 1.-THE Wolf" Paid in Full,
etc. THE World and a Woman" is to
be presented at the Illinois tonight.

PROPER TREATMENT
OF LIQUOR DRINKERS
Like Every Other Ailment, 1t Re-
quires the Right Kind OF
Remedies.


Drunkenness is a poisoning and
like all other conditions due to poi
soning is durable if the proper
means, methods and medicines are
employed. The origin of alcoholism
has been positively defined. The end
is ever and always the same to the
slave of drink. Physicians, as a
rule, do not make a speciality of
treating alcoholism, which the Neal
Institute in Davenport, at S21 Far
nam street, emphatically does.
The Neal Three Day Liquor Cure
is the only safe treatment for drunk
enness.
The patient from almost the very
first dose has lost all desire for
drink and when he finishes the
treatment on the third day is thor
oughly himself again.
There are no dangerous hypoder-
mic injections used in the Neal
treatment Twenty-four doses of in
ternal treatment are all that is re-
quired to cure any case of alcohol
ism. The medicine is purely vege-
table and harmless as spring water.

GREAT RIvoLI AT MAJESTIC.


While there are some good acts at
the Majestic, including the Advance
Musical Four, a creditable quartet OF
instrumentalists and vocalists, the per
Torrance of Caesar Rivoh casts all else
in shadow. Rivoh is a foreign per-
former who has reduced his lightning
change acts to an art. He puts on a
performance in three parts, lasting
much longer than the usual act. First,
he has the stage set as a restaurant,
and by some miraculous changing OF
costume, manner and voice he assumed
seven characters. He plays short
comedy, ending it by surprising all In
a rush down the auditorium IN the
guise of a police officer. The second
part of his performance consists OF
making some rapid changes, and the
third and best part is done in the or
chestra pit Rivon places music
stand In the pit and with the spotlight
on him gives limitations Of famous com
posers and conductors, assuming the
characters perfectly and leading with
all the peculiar mannerisms OF the men
he initiates. He has studied for years
his art and has been pronounced one
of the three best in his line In the
world. The remainder Of the bill con-
tains some very good acts, including
the Advance Four. which deserves
mention because of their ability as mu-
sicians Even the moving picture him
is good for the last half, showing the
feature pictures, "a Tale of the Can

TIT PRIMARIES

An aspirant for office; seeking the
p, nomination at the primaries; must
bear in mind the following facts: :
i He must seek the nomination of
: the party with which he affiliated
at the last general election or must
have voted for a majority Of the
candidates of that party at the said
election. In filing his nomination
papers, he must take oath. to, one
IF two conditions. If he cannot
take such oath he cannot go on the
ticket.
But the primary law cannot and
does not prevent any individual othe-
rwise legally qualified. from seek
ing election to Office, and a provision
is made whereby he may run indie
pendent. The provision of the
Australian ballot law, applies in this
case. The aspirant may have his
name placed upon the official ballo t
at the November election, by filing
petition containing the names of
ten per cent of the entire vote of
The precincnt, county or state, as
the case may be. cast at the last
preceding election. 1t must be ten
per cent Of the entire vote, not ten
per cent Of any one party. 1t
should also be understood that any
candidate whose name appears on
the ticket at the primary election
and who is defeated, cannot then
file a petition as an Independent
candidate. -
Voters should in turn keep in
mind, in signing petitions being
circulated for primary nominations,
that they should sign the petition of
either democratic or republican
candidates or none at all. The
nomination blank which they sign
declares: 81 intend to- support. for

it will be benefited by the rest and will
have a better growth of grass the fol-
lowing summer. In some sections
where pastures are utilized throughout
the winter to vacate would probably
necesstate feeding the stock, unless
the farmer is situated so that he can
keep his stock on one pasture while
another pasture is kept vacant. But
it is also true that beginning with Sep
tember there will be a more abundant
supply of rough feed about a farm
which can be utilized. August is a
most favorable month for making a
start toward freeing premises of ticks
by the method suggested.
The animals should of course be free
of ticks when they are again turned
on the pasture in July Where the
owner has a small number of cattle,
greasing or spraying them with Beau
mont crude petroleum is good way to
rid them of ticks. When the number
of cattle is large or when a dipping
vat is convenient it may be more prac-
ticable to dip them.
Full information as to how to get rid
of the ticks, including directions for
the preparation of dips and sprays
