Pendergast Makes Second Attempt to
Escape From Prison.

Asa Pendergast, who was recaptured
yesterday after he had escaped from
the city Jail Sunday night, made an
other attempt to leave the Jail this
morning. A little before 9 o'clock,
Frank PARCELS heard a noise in the
prison and investigated. When he
went into the Jail, Pendergast pre-
tended to be asleep in his cell. After
an examination it was found that he
had nearly pried off the top of his
cell and considerable damage was
done to the sides. He was Immediate
ly put in an adjoining cell
Pendergast is said to have friends
from the outside who are helping him
to escape. A part of a steel shovel,
several heavy boards an dan iron bar
were found among some old clothes in
his bed. PendergaSt attracted some
attention a few days ago by attempt
ing to eat some broken glass. The Of
ficers of the Jail are inclined to think
that he is not quite right in his
head. He was in the Jail on investiga-
tion charged with stealing several BIZ
cycles. He escaped about midnight
Sunday night along with a colored
man named Sampson and was rear
rested yesterday morning at the home
of his sister at 1915 North Taylor
street. If convicted he will face a
term in prison of up to two years.

He CHARGES A IDEAL y
doc" CalIen Continues to Wage War
ON CuInisEey.

Down in Crawford county the
Cumiskey-Callen row has broken the
June heat records and there is every
promise of a Democratic split in that
county. Trouble started when Doc
Callen, editor of the Pittsburg Kansan'
started a fight on Frank Cumiskey,
state oil inspector and chairman OF the
Crawford county Democratic commit
tee, when Cumiskey declined to endorse
the newspaper man for postmaster.
Since that time Callen has repeatedly
charged Cumiskey and the county COM
mittee with corruption and graft and
Cumiskey has made willing response.
Then it was charged that Cumiskey
dared not make a report of the item
lied expenditures of the county COM
mittee. This charge was followed by
an effort on the part of the Callen fac
ton to GUST CumiSkey from the county
craftsmanship. Not only has Callen
continued his fight on Cumiskey, but he
has dragged the state administration
into the trouble.
In charges made this week. Callen as
serts that there was deal in Craw-
ford county in the recent election and
that Cumiskey deliberately traded the
Democratic county ticket in order to
secure the support of the regular wing
of the Republican party for the Demo-
cratic state ticket. Under this ar
ran cement, Callen asserts, Governor
Hodges carried Crawford county over
Arthur Capper by 84 votes, while prac-
tically the entire Democratic county
ticket went down to defeat.

New Joint Rates Increase Capital
City's Trade on Central Branch.

The volume of business done in
northeastern Kansas, particularly
along the Central Branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, has increased materially
in the last few months a result OF
the lowering of freight rates according
to a statement made by H. D. Dris-
coll, commissioner of the Topeka Traf-
fic association.
The statement follows:
Il made it a point to see the sta
ton agent at almost every town visit
am very much gratified to Know that
shipments from Topeka to points on
the Central Branch have materially
increased since the new joint rates
have been established.
The business has now developed to
such an extent that in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 pounds of merchandise
leaves here daily over the Santa Fe
for Central Branch points, and a
through car without transfer gives us
service equal to that from any Mis-
souri, river point.
THE Get Acquainted Special did
not cover more than about one-third
of the territory affected by the recent
adjustment in freight rates from To-
peka. The new basis of rates applies
Prosser, Nebraska branches. also
branches leading to Burr Oak, Lenora
and Stockton. The balance of this
territory should be borne in mind,
and as we have rates as low as Kan
sas City, st. Joseph, Atchison. Omaha
or Lincoln with service equally as
good, we should be able to work up a
good trade at those towns, as we'll as

j. d. Miller Has Banner Made by His
Mother So Years Ago.

A fag-a veritable Old Glory tat
tered and torn-stitched with care by
a patriotic woman who once carried j
secret message through the rebel lines,
is to be lent to the State Historical So
ciety by Joseph D. Miller, 1913 Polk
street. 1t was made by Abbie Miller,
Mr.. Miller's mother, in 1851, and pre-
scented to Captain William A. Gordon,
who commanded the troop into which
her son had enlisted as a private.
When the commanding officer at
Macon City, Mo-, wished a dispatch
carried to General John Mcneil, sta
toned at Kirksville. Mrs. Miller vol
unteered. She had four stout sons in
the Union army, and was we'll versed
in the statutes of war. When the i'm
portant nniSsive was handed her, she
slipped it quietly into her pocket, re-
fused the offer of horse, and tripped
courageously through the Confederate
sentries. She received warm COM
mendation from General Mcneil and
returned home to stitch flags and
shirts for the blue coated boys in the
Union tents.
]. D. Miller. who is presenting the
flag to the society at the state house,
has lived in Topeka 81 years. He en-
listed in the United States service from
Adair county, Missouri, June 1, 1861
-52 years ago. He skirmished with
bushwhackers and guerrillas, and was
mustered out of service with his com
mand. He re-enlisted under Colonel
H L. Lipscomb in '62, took part in
engagements at Elk Shoot, Cape Gil
rardeau Chalk Bluffs, was made cor
poraI, honorably discharged, and re-
enlisted again in "a. He was pro-
NOTED to commissary sergeant, fought
in all the battles of the Price inva-
sion of Missouri, did scouting and gar
rison duty at Fort Riley, escorted
General Emory Upton across the plains
to Colorado and New Mexico, and re-
ceived his final discharge on May ID,
1866.
Mr.. Miller has served the county as
sheriff of Adair and the governmen t
as postmaster at Kirksville.

admits. Some day I'm going to write

THEIR RECORD CLEAN.
Lee SidweII and Gene Yates Exoner.
ated From Charges.

The friends of Lee Sidwell and Gene
Yates, former Topeka boys, will be glad
to learn that the governments charge
against them of unlawfully using the
malls has been found to be without
foundatio Both young men were in
dfcted in connection with alleged fraud
ulent sales of stock Of the Columbian
Magazine.
The following letter from Aaron Jet
more to Captain Coney tells the story
of their exoneration:
My Dear Captain:-I write to inform
you that after over three weeks eff
fort on the part of the government and
the production of about 65 witnesses to
make out a prima faeie case against
Lee Sidwell, it has ignoniniously failed,
and Judge Mayer at the close of the
government case sustained motion
to dismiss as to Sidwell and Yates, and
directed the jury to return a verdict
of mot guilty on all the counts al
legged in the Indictment.
The court also sustained a similar
motion as to the first and second counts
of the Indictment as to the defendants,
Orff and Atkin, and reserved decision
on the motion as to the third count
which is to be argued before the court
this day, the jury being discharged I'M
til Monday. 1t is my opinion that the
court will sustain the motion as to
Orff and Atkin, and that the trial will
on Monday when the jury is ordered to
return.
Of course, 1 am very glad that Sid
we'll is out of this, for after a thorough
investigation, 1 was convinced that he
had done nothing Intentionally wrong
and for which he should have been
placed on trial 1t was a great ordeal
for him, but at the same time results
in a complete vindication.
1 thank you very much for the in
terest and help you rendered us in this
case, and assure you that Sidwell APP
preciates what you and his other
friends have done for him. In this con-
nection permit me to say that this is
the first case in a long number of
years where a defendant has been ac-
quilted in the United States district
court here under an indictment for
using the mails to defraud.
1t was not necessary to use the
dispositions which you kindly looked af-
ter, as we did not get far enough into
the case to make it necessary to put
in any defense.
