LOYAL MRS. MORGAN
Wife of Hutchinson Candidate Takes
Stump for Her Husband.

Although wives of several candidates
for political office have asserted that
they would take the stump for their hus-
bands in the campaign this fall. Mrs w.
Y. Morgan of Hutchinson is the first
woman to actually speak for her hus-
band. This week Mrs. Morgan went to
Sterling, Rice county, where she told the
voters why they should support her hus-
band for lieutenant governor. :.

ORDER new COUNT.

representatives of the Commercial club,
and individuals having suggestions to
make will be given brief hearings.
That an entire new count of popu
lation will be required is accepted by
county officers familiar with the con-
dition of the books returned by dep
uty assessors. Books selected at ram
dom from among the number filed for
this years enumeration show the
haste and lack of system with which
they were put together. The lack of
alphabetical arrangement of names of
heads Of families and lack of street
addresses made it obviously impossi-
Bile to determine when a complete
check has been made
1t is probable that an instruction to
proceed by wards in the enumeration
of city population and by townships in
the country will be included in the
direction to the assessors charged with
the new job. They will necessarily be
instructed to take no account of per-
sons who have arrived in the county
since March 1, on which date the
remuneration was based. If carried
out on this basis the corrected emu
meration should be the most accurate
ever taken in Shawnee county as the
work OF the enumerators will not be
complicated by the routine labors of
taking agricultural statistics of numer-
Gus sorts which were taken at the same
time with the inaccurate population
count.

CONFER WITH ACu|LAR
Funston VIII Discuss Transfer Of
Vera Cruz with Mexican General.

Vera Cruz, Sept. 1S.-Brigadier
General Funston, commander in chief
of the army of occupation, probably
will send an emissary to Tembla-
deras. a point just beyond the Amer
lean lines, to receive and to escort
into town a representative of General
Candidom Aguilar, the constitutional
list commander, in order to confer re-
garding the transfer Of the govern
ment of Vera Cruz. General Aguilar
is holding some 5000 men just out
side the American lines.
Brigadier General Funston's recon-
mendation that the evacuation OF Vera
Cruz be postponed until Oct. 10 was
forwarded today to Secretary Garri-
son at Seabright. N. J. 1t probably
will be adopted as transports cannot
reach Vera Cruz for several days.

MINES N MINERS

A consolidation movement that has
been in preparation for some time was
consummated this week whereby the
Aeolian Consolidated Copper Mining
Co. and the Marguerite Mining Co.
have been merged, under the Column
bia Copper Co, which comprises 80
claims and fractions.
For the first four months of the
year, ending April 30, the Standard
mine at Silverton, B. c., shipped in
crude ore and concentrates approx
mately 5000 tons, most of which was
handled at the Trail smelter. Besides
a large amount of zinc ore and con-
centrates was shipped to Bartletsville,
Okla.
1t is reported that diamonds have
been discovered in the Tulameen dis
tricts B. c., which forms a part of the
Similkameen. The economic minerals
found in the Tulameen district include
diamonds, gold, platinum, copper,
magnetic, asbestos, coal and clay. In
1886 there vas a big placer gold ex-
element in that country and the
camps production for that year
amounted to $4,000.
A big deal was put through recently
whereby a Philadelphia company takes
over the big gold quartz property at
Surf Inlet, Vancouver Island. The
price is said to be $780, 900 and the
purchasers are the Tonopah-Belmont
Co. The property is located about rs
miles inland and one of the first works
undertaken will be the construction of
a narrow gauge railway into it from
the coast. They have already taken
in so tons of supplies and put 40 or
more men to work. There is an inn
mense tonnage in sight which has
been opened up by a 1,400 foot tunnel
with cross-cuts every 40 or so feet. 1t
is free-milling gold and the most mod
ern equipment for the extraction of
the gold will be installed. A big re-
vival of mining and general business
is looked for on the island.

TRIED TO ESCAPE PEN
GUARDS AT STATE JAIL ARE TOO
GOOD WITH RIFLE FOR PRIs-
oNERs TO GET AWAY.
TWO ARE SHOT, ONE DIED HOUR AFTER
Conviets Make Ladder of Bedsteads
and Swiftly Escape Over WaIi-At
$50 Yards Guard Peterson Puts
Bullet Into Bearup.

Boise, Idaho.-Two prisoners were
shot, one fatally, by guards of the Ida
no state ~penitentiary Saturday when
they attempted to escape from the in
stitution.
The convicts are:
U. G. Bearup, serving a life sentence
for murder, shot in the spine. Died
soon after.
c. A. Alters, serving an indetermi
nate sentence for forgery; shot in
arm, which had to be amputated.
How Affair Was Planned.
The break for liberty was made
while half of the guards on the prison
wall were at lunch. Prison officials
believe a dozen or more men were
concerned in the plot to escape. 1t is
evident that it had been carefully
planned. On Saturday mornings con
victs take their wooden ~bedsteads
from the cell houses to the yard and
clean them. 1t was two of them nailed
together that Alters and Howard used
to scale the wall. Alters got over, but
the ladder broke and Howard dropped
back into the prison yard.
Guard Howard winged Alters.
Jones carried with him a bottle Of
the disinfectant solution the prisoners
were using on their bedsteads. The
escaping men intended to use it to
throw the bloodhounds off the scent.
Guard Is Good Shot.
1t was the deadly accuracy of
Guard Peterson's rifle that ended the
chase. Alters fell at the prison tower
house, 300 yards from the wall. Bear
up and Jones kept on and gained the
cover of a knoll a little further away.
When Peterson reached the knoll
the men were $50 yards distant, run
ming at full speed. He stopped and
fired. His first shot fatally wounded
Bearup. Seeing his companion fall
Jones dropped to the ground. Just as
he dropped Peterson fired again. The
course of the bullet was plainly
traced and had Jones kept on he would
have been hit.
The state board of prison commits
sioners made an investigation of the
attempted delivery, ~exonerated the
prison officials from all blame and
held they were justified in taking tho
steps they did.
Bearups' Statement.
Bearup was conscious up to the time
of his death. He made a statement
to Warden Shook, in which he denied
a general delivery had been planned
but said that four of the prisoners,
Alters, Jones, himself and Il. r. How,
