Too Previous.

loo FfeVlOuS.
1t was chill out yestereven and the
skies were cold and gray,
And the wild goose went honking on
his starless southern way;
Summers requiem was chanted in
the creaking of the gate,
And the flames played shadow dances
on the cooling of the crate.
But today the sun shines brightly,
to the bottom of my heart,
And the world looks better, greener
with a newer, fresher start;
Something tells me fall is tardy and
that summer isn't gone
It's the itching of the flannels that
I foolishly put on!
Buffalo News.

FEDERAL PRISONER
EFFECTS ESCAPE.

Jesse Pyatt, federal prisoner,
who has been serving a six months
sentence in the Lawrence county
jail, having been convicted at the
spring term of the United States
court here, of illegal use of the mails
effected his escape last evening and
has not yet been apprehended.
The fact that Pyatts time would
be out in few weeks, caused the
jail authorities to little expect that
he would attempt to escape and con-
sequently for week or more he has
been given the privileges of 'trusty'
| asi evening he was taken by Jailor
John Plunkett to the sheriff's barn,
which Is located at the old ODon-
nell foundry, for the purpose of as
sisting in the care of the horses.
John Plunkett had watered one of
the horses and after he returned to
the barn, Pyatt took the other to the
watering trough which was Just out
Size the door. This was about 1880
q clock and as the jailor was engag-
ed in caring for the horse he had
just brought in, it was some min
utes before he noticed that Pyatt had
not returned with his horse. An in
Hestigation revealed the fact that
the horse was standing alone at the
trough and that Pyatt had fed. The
alarm was Immediately given and a
thorough search Of the city made.
Up to o'clock this morning, he had
not been seen about any of the re-
sorts and it is believed he has pulled
out of town.

HICKS INCREASED
THE BUSINESS

This is the story of a Yankee sign
painter in Vienna. 1t was brought
over by George Graham Wells. an
American tourist.
Bill Hicks, the billboard artist.
landed in Liverpool broke and start
ed to tour Europe on foot. Real
tourists from America were Just pre-
pairing to swarm into Vienna for the
summer season, and the hotel pro-
prietors were all polishing silver.
Bill Hicks spent a day getting an
audience with one of these and oc-
cupied another day making himself
understood. The conference ended
IN contract, whereby the hotel man
was to furnish paint $50 in
cash and board. In return he
was to get something that would
give his place eclat and draw Ameri-
can trade as molasses draws flies in
the good old time subsequent to the
summer solstice.
The result was the largest Ameri-
can motto ever seen in Europe
stretched half way across the main
dining room wall. 1t was a BEAU
tlful specimen of the sign paint
ers art. 1t read:
-
Watch your hat and coat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
A second legend, in nine colors.
was placed by Mr.. Hicks above the
exclusive tearoom mirror. 1t said:
.............
|; Theodore Roosevelt gathers no
; moss.-Laura Jean Libbey.
''''''' .............:
Over the bar Mr.. Hicks broke in
to verse with this gem, calculated to
evoke "reminiscences on the part OF
his fellow countrymen:
''''''. ...... .............
My Wife's in another country.
Horay, hooray!
!; Washington Irving.
''''.'''... ...........:
Bill Hicks took his money and
left Vienna forthwith.
The news spread quickly around
Vienna. Pretty soon every Ameri-
can in town was hustling to the ho-
tel to get laugh at Bill Hicks mot
tos and the hotel did a bigger bar
and restaurant business than ever
before in its history.
Along in July an Englishman hap
pened into the place and read the
legends. He told the proprietor that
Emerson never wrote Watch your
hat and coat" He said he even
doubted if Mr.. Roosevelt didn't gath
er moss, he being a faunel and fora
expert.
And the enrged hotelkeeper had
all the mottos painted out that same
day, with the result that he began
to lose American trade straightway.

FRAUD REPORT LOST.
Customs Document in Old Sugar
Case Not on Record.

Diugent search in the Treasury Depart
ment has failed 10 disclose the resting
place Of the report on sugar frauds of
nineteen years ago. called for IN a resolu-
ton offered by Representative Harrison.
The report was made by Col W. F. Hep
burn. Of Iowa. then Solicitor Of the Treas
ury.
When the proposal Of Representative
Harrison was made public officials in the
department attempted TO find the docu-
meut.
Politicians are puzzled to know why. If
the report was IN the Treasury Depart
ment, 81 was not found by John 6. Car
Isle. Secretary Of the Treasury under
President Cleveland's second adminlstra-
ton. That he did not know OF it, which
Is apparent from its not having been
made public by him. is held TO indicate
that 1t was not left in the files Of the
department by the previous administra-
ton.

National Capital.

Plans for the erection Of a home in the
vicinity of Washington at a cost Of less
than $4,000 for Daughters Of 1872, who

made at the session of the national or
ganizatiou. which concluded yesterday.
The exact cost of the building has not

at not more than 100000, and it is proha-
bic that the bulk of this sum will be

CASTLES IN SPAIN

That the open fishing season, es- pecially for suckers, is prevailing in Fairbanks just now appears to be the opinion of some enterprising promoter" located in Europe, judg- ing from some letters he has ad- dressed to prominent Fairbankers.
 These letters are interesting, to say the least, and relate how the writer is the owner of some s330.O0O in securities, one-thrd of which he is aching to give away to the man he is writing to. The story goes that the writer is held in jail in Spain, for a political crime, incom, municado. but that his securities can be reached by the person addressed if he will place himself in communi- cation with the sender of the let ter. Elaborate instructions are sent, just such as has been sent to thous- ands of others throughout the states, for this game is as old as the Green Goods game.
 The point of the joke, locally. however, lies in the fact that sev- eral of the recipients of the letters, not knowing the other fellows had received similar epistles were showing off the good thing they had fallen heir to around town and it was some time before two of the victims came together and got next to the attempted touch. And then the castle in Spain col laDSed

DEMARA MADE GREAT TIME

A belated newsletter from Sal chaket. dated November 26. CT a week ago Saturday, tells that Nick Demara arrived al Billy Munson's roadhouSe al o'clock in the after noon of that day, being just eight hours out from Fairbanks He had only been travelling half of the time as he had stopped for an hour at the 20 mile house and for three hours at the Pile Driver rOadhouse. When he reached Munson's he placed himself in Billy's hands and after the ministrations of his host he stated he was feeling fine and be- lieved he could make it to Valdez in five days if he got as good treatment all along the line.
 Business on the trail is reported as very quiet just now, but a new strike is said to have been made on the North Fork of the Salcha river The trail is in fine condition and all the roadhouses have on hand all the brub they need
