Clever Attempt to Escape.

What officials believe to have been
a clever attempt on the part of DR..
J. Arnold of Duluth to escape from
the hospital of the criminal insane at
st. Peter has been discovered by
Superintendent Phelps Of that insti-
tuition, and was reported today to
the State Board of Control.
A candy box, apparently filled with
candy, was sent to DR.. Arnold from
Duluth. DR.. Phelps found that the
box had a false bottom, and con-
cealed there were three fine steel
saws, capable of cutting the bars be-
hind which DR.. Arnold is confined.
AS a result of this discovery an
investigation was made at Duluth by
United States postal authorities, CO.
operating with the State Board Of
Control, in order to discover who sent
the package.
The candy in the box was found to
contain morphine when it was exam
ined by the hospital chemist.
As a result DR.. Phelps and the
State Board of Control probably will
send the Duluth doctor back to that
town for trial in the courts there on
the indictment against him. He es-
capped prosecution because he was
found to be insane.
The Minnesota law differs from
that of New York, behind which
Thaw is hiding, in that person
charged with crime but is commit
ted as insane before trial, can be
sent back for trial by the hospital
authorities whenever he has regain
ed his sanity.
Because of the difficulty experience
ed in keeping drugs away from pa
tients at state institutions, the Board
of Control today obtained an opinion
from Attorney General Smith, giving
the superintendent of hospitals the
authority to open all mail addressed
to inmates. Under the law insane
persons may receive letters from the
governor, the judge of probate who
committed them and one designated
correspondent.-S St. Paul Dispatch,

served in the senate, paid sincere
tribute to his former colleague. Said
he: 1T is fitting, indeed, that his
statue is placed here. The statue at
st. Paul is the statue of Minnesota's
great Governor; the statue here is
the statue of John A. Johnson, the
St. Peter boy; and while in St. Paul
you revere him as great reprcsen-
'tative American, as one Of the fore
most men of the Union in his day;
here you love him because he is plain
John A. Johnson, your neighbor and
your friend"
C. D. O'Brien delivered the dedi-
catory address, taking as his sub
ject, "The Life and Work of John
A. Johnson" One of his passages
was as follows: Governor Johnson
defeated adversely. He did more.
He overcame the selfish impulses
common to human nature, and he
made himself man, as God intend
ed man should be-fearleSs, in
telligent, honest, Industrious, and
faithful in the fulfillment of all of
the duties that fell within the circle
of his life. To these he added a
love and charity for his fellow men,
so complete that it endcared him to
all those who came in contact with
him."
Rev. O. J. johnson, president Of
Gustavus Adolphus college, brought
the program to a close by pronounc-
ing the benediction. 1nterspersed
through it were selections by the
Second Regiment band, the numbers
having been admirably selected by
Director Jos. Hofmeister.
The St. Peter statue is an exact
replica of that erected on the grounds
Of the state capitol at St. Paul. For
the state memorial the sculptor,
Andrew O'Connor, received $2l 500.
He furnished the St. Peter replica
for $4,000, and it's total cost will be
slightly in excess of $4,000: The
figure, which is nearly nine feet in
height, is mounted on a pedestal Of
St. Cloud granite, the base being
twelve feet in height. Flanking the
statue are four granite benches, and
three walks lead to it. 1t has been
erected on the court house lawn
and faces Minnesota avenue, the
main street Of the town.
At 8 o'clock in the evening the
special train patronized by the New
Ulm people departed from st. Peter.
During the day our citizens received
many compliments upon the fine ap-
pearance and splendid playing of the
Second Regiment band.

and cooks. Maybe he didn't say any
thing about their beauty as so many
husbands were present he didn't dare
to, but he wanted to, that was evident;
and what he did say about them, and
their ability to cook, would not do to
be in print, for possibly he may have to
go to some other town in his capacity
as inspector, and he might want to have
the good will of the Relief Corps wo-
men there, long enough for them to
serve another such good dinner, and
also very likely he might want to say
just those same words of praise there,
so we will spare the gentleman and not
repeat them but will give him credit
for being very entertaining.
Captain Gehlhar, of the militia, also
made some good remarks and won the
hearts of all present by the patriotism
he displayed thereby.
About $50 old soldiers, women of the
Relief Corps, and few Sons of Veter-
ans of Joshua Smith camps, partook
of the good things served at this ban
quet, and every one wished that all
the members could have been present
and enjoyed it all as they did and thank
all who did so much to make it such a
success.
