After having been absent from the
institution eleven days and absolutely
no trace Of him found anywhere, Jacob
Rostok. y Muskingum county inmate,
was discovered In one of tho barns on
the reformatory farm In pitiable
condition Wednesday afternoon. IL
appears that no had been suffering
from exposure. having had scarcely
anything to eat and no place to sleep
since he left the reformatory farm d
week ago last Saturday. He was clad
In his prison garb and It appears that
he had not been on the reformatory
farm during his eleven-day absence.
It will be remembered that the con.
ditions under which, Rostek left the
farm were rather unusual. He had
been paroled to leave the institution
February IL, and II was not thought
that he would make q getaway with
suoh short time to serve. Rostek
had been suffering from remorse over
tho crime which caused him to be
sentenced to the reformatory aud his
mind became affected. This Is believed
to have been responsible for his de-
parture for the farm eleven days ago.
When he was discovered In = barn
by one u the inmates Wednesday AZ
ternoon Rostek was In semi-c0n-
soious condition. He was removed 70

then waited, In order that q reason.
able time might be given the man

MUSICAL FESTIVAL RENDERED.
By St. AnDe's 0rganist and Choir
Program Well Sung Plea ed Large
Audience.

Those who were fortunate enough
to so to St. Anne's last night to the
musical festival rendered by the or.
ganist and choir Of that church were
well repaid for their pains.
The program was short but Of that
high class of music which appeals TO
all music lovers. The first organ
number was Bach's gre at prelude and
tugue in A minor. This was followed
by Mendelssohn' tenor solo and cho-
rus from his celebrated Lobgesang
(Hymns of Praise.) In this Mr..
Shearman, one of the tenors in the
choir, was heard to great advantage,
he rendering the music with great
dramatic quality.
The Incidental treble solo by Mas
Ger Henry Walk was exquisite, and the
choir gave the difficult music with
evideat training and art. The mid
die number on the program was again
the organ, Waguer's overture to Die
Meister, singer arranged for the
organ Succeeding this MIR. Morris
FelGmeyer's rich bass voice was hea r
in the solo from Spohr's "The Last
Judgment. 1t was magnificent.
The program aptly closed with the
wonderful Pilgrims Chorus from
Tsnnhuser, rolling out from the or
gan in waves of sound that lifted the
listener up to the high places of
musical feeling. Mr.. Wilkinson, the
organist and choirmaster, cannot de-
serve too much praise for his master
ly and artistic rendering of the organ
numbers, and the intelligent work
Of the choir.
