MYSTERY is ATTACHED TO
TOOLS GETTING INTO JAIL

The third attempt at a county jail
delivery occurred Wednesday nisht,
the las one being nearer to accom-
plishment than either OF the two
first.
Puro luck again frustrated this
endoayor to attain liberty for ,he
prisoners.
A section of tho boiler plate had
bean sawed making an opening
large enough for man to crawl
through and work had been started
on the bars on the outside when the
effort was discovered
There IS mystery how thc saws,
which are used in the work, have
gotten into the jail 1t is said that
a woman, one of the clcverest
pigeon dropperg' in the country,
who through the grace of Jailcr
Peto Fraser, brother of the sheriff,
has been doing the cooking for the
prisoners, is the instrument by
which the saws have been smugglcd
into the Jail, although a claim was
made that one of the prisoners
wives had smugglcd in the Other
saw at the time of the second at
tompt. This negro pigeon drop

Dean, With her male Consort, is
awaiting trial for the robbery Cf a
man named Lane of $93. She has
a criminal pedigree extending ever
the middle west judging from the
letters from chiefs of police now on
file at police headquarters.
This Berryhill woman has many
opportunities to obtain necessary

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 12.--Tributo
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was paid today in the name of the
Southern States by Senator Robin
son OF Arkansas, speaking at tac
Lincoln Day Celebration here.
Tho South" said tho Senator,
"reverently joins the North in cele-
brating this occasion and commiss-
ions me to bring a white ru5a,
pluckel by the daughter of a Con-
federato soldier from garden
blooming in the neart of Dixie

GUS Welcome. The surviving folloE-
cr5 Of the dauntlcss Lee would COM
bine with the scattered fragments
of Grants legion to form his guard
of honor.
II halo said the South ussni-
mously honors the memory of Lin
coin because of his generosity and
magnanimity in the hour of its dos
o lation. There is yet another great
er reason. Emancipation was FAR
more accessory to the section i'm.
mediataly afflicted with slavery
than any other. If slavery had coa-
tinued, it would have made tho
poor white mans condition intolcr-
able. 1t fostered an aristocracy Of
land owners, excluded tho pooc
white man from opportunities Of
profitable labor and barred to him
the avenues OF progress.
Throughout his terrieory, pre-
cminently great men have rarely
gathered in groups. They have US
ually appeared as solitary gialg
towering above the level of medio
Gritty, their shadows lengthening
with time.
Students have consecrated Il
small area to the seeds of memoir

Indian Labor the Most Reliable on the

The cotton growers of the South Side were surprised at the statement of MT. Altha regarding the unrela- hility of the Indian labor. They have had the Indians picking cotton both this year and last, and they have found that there are no more reliable people in the country than the Indians. They pick cotton cleaner and more of it than either the Mexican or South ern pickers. The only trouble that the growers are having is not being able to get enough of them here. At the present time there are in the neighborhood of five hundred now in the fields but two or three hundred more could be used Indian Commis- sioner of Labor Santeo isrloing all he can to provide the growers with pick CTS, but the Indians are so much iii demand that they are employed faster than they come from the reservation.
