HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM
Apparently captor Need Not Have Been Afraid That His Pris-
 oner Would Escape.

Billy Oswald of the Cleveland out door relief department was sent up to Detroit the other day to bring back prisoner who had escaped from the workhouse. Full of the sense of his responsibility, Billy had handcuffs slapped on the man and stuck val iantly by bis side, leaving no possible chance of escape. When an hour out from Detroit, homeward bound on the D. & C. boat, the prisoner suggested that oswald relax his vigilance.
 "Whatchu keepin' these things on me for?' he asked. You don't think I'm goin' t jump over in the middle of Lake Erie, do you? Can't get away now
 Billy saw reason in the argument, released his man from the irons and gave him leave to stroll about deck. When the boat neared port. however, early next morning, the prisoner wasn't to be found. Oswald looked the boat over from engine room to bridge. but in vain. When the boat slid alongside the dock Billy was the first man of, stationing himself where he could see every person coming ashore.
 In couple of minutes he spied his man. But he wasn't trying to slip of unobserved. He came along boldly. Juggling Oswald's baggage in one hand and his own in the other.
 "Aw. there you arel" he sang out. I've been lookin' all over the boat for you the last half hour"

 Argenta.

Little Rock, Oct. ii.- Besides pay ing all of the operating expenses, the income of the Argenta Municipal electric plant for September was sufficient to pay for nearly S200 worth of new material and leave a balance of Si30 to the credit of the department. This record in a city of the size of Argenta, which has a population of il,000, is not often attained. and Mayor ]. P. Faucette has received scores of letters com plimcnting Argenta.

While We do not agree with some

say he would do if he was elected

He is living up to his platform, re-

Recommend.

We are so positive that our rem
edy will permanently relieve con-
stipation, no matter how chronic it
may be. that We offer to furnish the

fail to produce satisfactory results.
It is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes

Constipation is caused by a weak

TOWN WRECKED.
Dynamite Shocks Wreck Pleasant
Prairie, Wis.-Number of Dead
Unknown.

Kenosha, Wis, March 9.-With a
roar that was heard for so miles, a
flare that was seen fully as far and
with a conclusion that broke win
dows more than 1Go miles away,
three carloads of dynamite exploded
at the plant Of the DUPONT DeNemours
company shortly after 8 o'clock to-
night in the village Of Pleasant
Prairie, six miles west of this city.
It will be impossible for many hours
to tell accurately the number of dead.
Nearly every house in the village,
which contains 700 residents, has
been badly damaged and some Of them
utterly demolished.
Ten Niles Off.
Reports from the. country 10 miles
distant are to the effect that houses
even that far from the explosion were
thrown down.
It is believed inevitable that many
people have been killed or injured
through the surrounding country. So
far as is known at present, however,
but one man, E. S. Thompson, fore
man Of the glaze mill, was killed out
right, but Charles Brady, superintend-
ent, and Joseph Flint, the engineer,
are badly injured and may die.
The cause Of the explosion is not
known at the present time. The plant,
which covered 100 acres of ground
was completely wrecked, only one
building remaining. This is one of
the magazines, and it is filed with
dynamite.
Four Came Quickly.
The first explosion took one of the
magazine buildings ana in quick sue
cession four others followed, but so
quickly that it seemed to be but one.
The force Of the concussion was
terrific. Houses, barns and outbullG-
ings in the immediate neighborhood
were swept from their foundations as
though struck by a torpedo. It is re-
ported that hundreds of cattle and
horses were killed. a telephone Ce-
port from there stating that some of
them were buried entirely through
barns and residences.
It is reported that the town of Bris-
tol, Wis, 10 miles distant. was badly
wrecked, but details were not OBJ
tainable from there at midnight.
Special trains we're hastily dis
patched from Kenosha carrying every
available nurse and physician. SeV-
eral of the injured have been received
in this city. but none of them have
sustained more than minor injuries.

VER|F|ES REPORTS FROM PACIFIC
 PROPERTY A. |. Harroun Has Great Confidence in Future
 Of Mine
(From Saturdays Daily) DECLARES TERRITORIAL ROAD WILL BENEFIT MINERS
 or BRADSHAWS

\. l.. Hliroun, st0ckholder of th, Pacific Copper Mining company. re turned yesterday after an inspection of the property and expressed him self in unqualified terms of the splendid showing at all points under development, and especially men. tioned the deep work as demonstrat. ing very attractive proposition. He states that the visit was made to in. vestigate for himself in view of re ports that reached him at Kansas City of the good showing that was established at different points on the I50 foot level. and verifits all that has been reported from the prop. erty. He believes that the future of the company is firmly established and bases bis statements on what is in evidence in all drifts. which are in ore all the way. Crosseutting is also under way from the lower level and remarkable determinations in cutting through vast ore bodies with good values in gold are being made. The general situation. NIT. Harroun states, is very encouraging, and since his last inspection. nearly one year ago, there is pronounced change for the better.
 The building of the territorial highway through the Bradshaw noun. tains, he states. is magnificent movement to assist the miner. and as it passes within less than a mile of the Pacific camp at Silver Mountain. his company and many others will be benefited. Direct communication will be established with Prescott, and with the automobile and the motor truck, convenience and economy will thereafter be the rule.
 He also states that the general outlook in the Bradshaw country is flattering for strong productive mineral region. and more work is be. ing performed than ever before. He returned to Kansas City last night, buoyant over the possibilities of the Pacific property.

IMPORTANT MINE TRANSACTION
 CLOSED
(From saturiay,. pnilrl

According to private telegrams re. ceived yesterday from California ne. gotiations that have been pending for several months for the purchase of the Climax miue, on the Hassay. ampa river, are closed, and it is be. lieved that in the next few days the property will he under the ownership of very strong syndicate of mining men. It is known that the group has been undergoing expert examina. ton by well known coast mining engineer for several weeks. and prey. ious to that time other engineers had been similarly engaged. During the past year, the ore has been given several test runs in the mill on the ground to definitely ascertain the tonnage values with good results. This was demonstrated but a short time ago, when bullion to the value of nearly 5000 was returned from tonnage that indicated greater value. than had ever been recorded and exceeded all expectations. IL is also generally known among mining men of that district that there is a large porphyry dyke on the group which has never been exploited to depth. which is said to be 100 feet wide. from which samples were cut that gave average values of s3.75 in gold to the ton.
 The company was preparing to be. gin an extensive system of develop. ment and to install modern machinery when negotiations were started sev. eral months ago. The consideration will, it is said, run to over half million dollars.
 Coincident with the reported sale of the Climax interests, negotiations are also progressing for the purchase of the Billy Boy and Christmas groups owned by Ed. Block, which adjoin the Climax on the north in which other capitalists are interested.
