A JAIL DELIVERY

SKELETON KEYS WERE MADE By

PRISONERS IN THE COUNTY
JAIL.
Gus Musicman. Who has been serv-

Gus Musicman, who has been serv-
ing thirty days in the county Jail
! for having furnished liquor to q
man on the blacklist. had nice plan
all laid out to earn $50 by liberating
the men in the county Jail, among
whom was q fellow by the name OF
Stanley. who was brought here from
McCook county Tor safe keeping.
Musicman's short term of imprts-
onment made 1t possible for Sheriff
Berry to allow him the privileges Of
a trusty. and the greater part Of the
time the prisoner has been working
outside the Jail. and attending to the
heating plant. There was little
thought Of his attempting to get
away.
For the past week. however.
Sheriff Berry and Deputy Owen have
and their suspicious aroused that Mu-
sicman was up to something, and IL
was discovered that while some
plumbers were at work in the Jail
he took an impression OF the two
keys to the jail doors.
Friday evening the sheriff and his
deputy felt that something was go
ing to happen, and they took up a
close watch around the Jail on the
outside. During the evening a per-
SON called at the Jail to see Stanley,
and after they had talked a few
minutes and the visitor started
away, Stanley urged him to come
back again.
Along about midnight Sheriff Ber-
~ and The deputy reached the con-
clusion that the attempt to get out
was not working we'll or had been
abandoned. They determined, how
ever, to ascertain what was on foot,
and accordingly went to the Jail
room and searched the prisoners.
They found two keys, one to fit the
outer door, which was. to be opened
by Musicman and the other was to
be used by the prisoners for opening
the inner door. Mustcman made a
confession to Sheriff Berry that he
vas to be given $50 for l~iberating the|
men. Both keys were duplicates OF
the original and he had done . fine
Job as far Is he had gone.
Sheriff Berry Immediately cut
short the liberties Of Musicman and
he will be held on a more serious
charge than that for which he served
thirty. His time was out Sunday.

New Firm Announcement

We wish to announce to the public
that owing to the increase Of Mr..
Konopik's business, and being unable
to handle it alone, he has sold out
half interest to Mr.. Bert Rink, 80 ~
to enable him to look after the saus-
age making and the curing Of hams
and bacon. 1t is the purpose OF the
new firm to give the people OF Meek
err as good, If not a better grade, OF
sugar.cu ham and bacon as was
ever sold here. They will also put
up sugar cured corned beef and
sweet-pickled pork that will be one
of the finest kind Of meats for fish
ing or haying parties. Why? Be-
cause they are cured SO as not to be
salty and do not have to be boiled
until they lose all flavor to get the
salt out, like the old style of salt
beef. They will also put up their
own picked pigs feet, picked tripe;
and will sweet pickle quarters OF
beef for haying parties.

THEY DIDN'T LAUGH.
Mark Twain Was Funny, but His Al.
disnes Gave Him the Stony Starr.

Marx Twain Was Funny, but His Au-
disnes Gave Him the Stony Starr.
There was one occasion when Mark
fwain's humor went astray and H.
stead of the hilarious laughter he ex-
pccted poor Clemens got only sad and
stony stares from the three literary
lions at whom he had aimed his mirth-
full efforts as well as from the rest OF
the banQueters who were all Worship
ers of the burlesqued trio. The story
b told by f. NJ. Colby in the Book
man:
Mark Twain had gladly accepted the
Invitation to address the diners and.
knowing that Emerson. Longfellow
and Holmes were to be among them,
had prepared, In high confidence, q
little skit telling of three absurd I'M
posters who had announced themselves
by these distinguished names at a
miners cabin In the far west. Ac-
cording to the story, melancholy min
er at whose cabin Mark Twain found
shelter one night told him that three
other ''littery men" had stayed with
him the night before and given him
much trouble. They were Mr.. Emer-
son, Mr.. Longfellow and Mr.. Holmes.
In reply to Mark Twains question the
miner gives an account Of the visit.
They were rough lot, but that's
nothing; everybody looks rough that
travels nfoot. Mr.. Emerson was
seedy little bit of chap. red headed.
Mr.. Holmes was as fat as balloon.
He weighed as much us 800 and had
double chins all the way down to his
stomach. Mr.. Longfellow was built
like prizefighter. His head was crop
ped and bristly like. as If he had
wig made Of hairbrushes. His nose
lay straight down on his face, like q
finger with the end Joint tilted up.
They had been drinking. could see
that. And what queer talk they used!
Mr. Holmes inspected this cabin. and
then he took me by the buttonhole, and
says he:
"Through the deep caves of thought
hear a voice that sings.
Build thee more stately mansions.
o my soul!'

and, moreover. 1 don't want to-"

However, l started to get out my ba-
con and beans when Mr.. Emerson
came and looked on awhile, and then
he takes me aside by the buttonholo
and says:
"Give me agates for my meat;
Give me cantharides to eat;
From air and ocean bring me foods,
From all zones and attitudes"

THE BOGUS SALESMAN.
Tee Much Risk Involved In Patreniz-
ing the PsddIsr.

Scarcely month passes that II does
not bring report from some rural
community of fraudulent sales or
fraudulent projects Of some sort being
palmed of on the farmers by smooth
talking statesmen. The latest comes
from Wisconsin aud is in the nature
Of kick Mt the long suffering oil COM
panies. More properly speaking. Il Ia
an objection to a certain oil company.
q carload Of whose product WAS sold
among the farmers last summer and
which did not live up to its agreement
a to the quality of the oil. says the
American Agriculturist.
A canvasser drove through the coun-
try from house to house. taking ad-
vance orders for kerosene. gasoline
and a paint oil which he offered as "a
he carried with him were apparently
hrst class. and orders were taken with
the understanding that the product de-
livered was to be equally good. The
kerosene was sold at II cents per gal
lon. 1t was furnished in barrels. which
were to be taken back by the company
when empty and rebate Of 81 given.
The barrels were guaranteed not to
leak.
When the oil arrived most Of the bar
reIs leaked badly. and in some cases
the loss was very heavy. The oil itself
proved to be of very unsatisfactory
quality and in many cases entirely un-
fit for use. Among the number Of
farmers who consider that they were
swindled in the deal is one who writes
that he is unable to use the kerosene
In lamps at all. but has transferred It
to a tight receptacle and will keep 1t
to use on Canada thistles and quack
grass.
In cases Of this kind there Is appar-
emily no practical means Of redress.
Purchasers either deposit their money
In advance or pay It Immediately upon
delivery. 1t is much safer and usually
more satisfactory to deal with some
well established. well known local con-
Germ. Then In case of dissatisfaction
there is always an easy means Of ad-
