MAD CONVICT, WHO
FLED IN MARCH, IS
PLACED IN ASYLUM
.T5seph Ensley, Last of Five
in Plot, Returned From
Leavenworth.

SoSeph Ensley, one Of 5he FIVE insane
c>nvicts who felled Attendant James Van
Word in Howard Hall at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane on March
II and forced their way TO the outside,
after breaking a window guard and
utilizing strips of sheets, is once more
confined in the ward for criminals. He
was captured in Texas several weeks
ago, and made up one Of party Of
convicts recently sent to st. Elizabeth s
Asylum from the Leavenwortn peniten-
tiary. He was sent to his old quarters
in the penitentiary after his arrest In
Texas, but the wardens soon discovered
signs Of recurring insanity. Arrange
ments then were made to send him back
to st. Elizabeths.
Ensley recognized his former asso-
ciates, and pleasantly greeted the at
tendants, referring to the sensational
escape in which he figured. His return
to the institution completes the round
UP of those who made their escape on
the night Of March II.
AS it developed, there was a plot be-
tween the insane convicts to break away
from Howard Hall. Attendant Van
Word was summoned by a call for
water, and while passing it tc a patient
named Richard C. Neal. under sentence
for murder, he was attacked by Thomas
Winters and the other patients. The
attendant was carried unconscious by
them to a side room, where they locked
him in. Joseph Ensley, Robert Ball, and
William Huddell, Neal, and Winters
then tied strips of sheeung together,
broke out a window guard, and lowered
themselves to the ground. Neal broke
his ankle and soon was caught. Ball
was caught On the grounds. Winters
and Huddell were held up near Relay,
Nd, at the point of a deputy sheriff's
revolver, being taken two days after
escaping.
Ensley alone managed to get away,
and in Texas was locked up. 1t was
decided to send him back to the peniten-
tiary.
With the party Of convicts, numbering
nine, brought from Leavenworth there
was John J. Mcpherson, who tcmporar-
fly escaped by making flying leap
from a fast-moving train as it was pass
ing through Iowa. He was handcuffed
and under the observation Of a guard at
the time. The train was hailed, and
Mcpherson was hunted down. He was
uninjured.

The school exhibit is ready for
inspection. The walls of the
large 9th grade room in Central
building are covered from floor
border with art work and miscel-
laneons school work mounted on
cords 22x2S inches. A very
pleasing effect is secured by the
use Of light gray mounting board.
Beginning at the southwest cor
ner of the room, the art work,
arranged in order of grades from
Kindergarten to 9Th, covers all
of the west and north walls. A
beautiful border made by the
kindergarten and 1st grade at
Harlan extends the entire length
of these two walls. The border
is in three sections; 1st: two
little tots in white with candle,
retiring; End: the Easter rabbit
3rd.: Cupid with his bow. The
figures of the border are cut in
white paper and mounted on
green.
Various forms of construction
and industrial work cover the
south and east walls; while much
material that could not find room
on the walls is placed on tables.
The room is well lighted
both for the daytime and the
evening. The exhibit is worth
seeing even by those not person
ally interested in the schools.
Open Thursday evening 7 to
20 o'clock, and Friday from 2 to

TRYING The SENATE.

Senator LaFolette S resolution
for reopening Of the Iorimer
case is turned over to the mer-
cics Of the committee on contin-
get expenses. This committee
consists of Senators Briggs of
New Jersey, chairman; Dilling-
ham of Vermont, Bristow of Kan
sas, Clarke of Arkansas and Will
liams of Mississippi.
In the vote on the Lorimer ease
at the end of the last session
Briggs and Dillingham; voted for
Lorimer, Clarke and Bristow
against him. This gives the de-
Gliding vote in the committee to
John Sharp Williams, a conserv-
ative democrat and former house
democrats leader, who is a new
conner in the senate.
The Lorimer case is reaching
!, point, however, where it is
passing beyond the reach Of the
senate. With the Lorimer peo-
pie in Illinois reduced to the ne
cessity Of suppressing records
by habeas corpus proceedings, il
is the United States senate, ra-
ther than Lorimer, that goes or
trial. And a body that does not
ask committees for instructions
will do the trying, towit, Ameri
can public opinion.
Whether the senate thinks Lo
rimer and his political methods
are after its own heart is mere
ly an incident to the larger ques
tion beyond. If the senate be
lieves Lorimer good enough fol
it, then the question becomes
acutely this: Is the senate goot
enough for us? State Journal

GLOBE SIGHTS

Considering that "to him that
hath shall be given" the under
dog gets a lot OF consideration.
Another very human frailty is
to be proud of things which
cause shame.
Admitting your guilt after it
lis proven, is form of honesty
that won't help you much.
If married people are nice to
leach other in public it is sure
to be said that they fight at
home.
While honesty is the best poll
Icy, it may be all right to lie oc-
rasionally to keep out of anar-
gument.
If you need few drinks to
make you feel cheerful, you had
better go on with a sober groutch.
While the corset may help ap-
|pearances in some respects, it
cant do anything for a double
chin.
A good many white men are
indians enough to catch the fish
and make wives dress them.
1t seems rather difficult for
the average man to remember
egirl and anything else at the
same time.
If a man lives in fear of be-
ing found out, that is pretty apt
to happen to him before he gets
through.
Sometimes a man marrles an
heiress and finds about all she
inherited was her fathers mean
disposition.
If a woman really loves man,
Itne TACT tnat he dOeSn amount
| to anything never bothers her
for a moment.
The only thing to be said in
favor of twenty-four hour au-
ltomobile race is that it doesn't
last six days.
The man who does not have a
good time on a vacation is liable
to be a pretty valuable man to
his employer.
When there is no other way
to attract attention, man can
be the first one in town to put
his lawn-mower in action.
