Aren't there more good ones than

ESCAPES FROM COUNTY JAIL
Gilbert King Saws the Bars and
Makes His Getaway

Gilbert King, held for the alleged
robbing of the Helm store and Tony
postoffice, escaped from the county
Jail at about o'clock Saturday even
ing, by saving the bars on one of
the west windows.
Outside of the bars was a window
and screen, securely locked from the
outside, but these, too, were forced
Ill some manner not apparent. The
saving Of one bar was all that was
necessary, this leaving a space of
seven or eight inches, through which
he managed to crawl. The bar was
cut with a saw improvised from a
that the bars are made of poor iron
instead of steel, this work probably
required less than an hours time.
He chose spot where a previous at
tempt had been made to cut one of
the bars, an incision having been
made about a third of the way into
the bar at that place. This weak
spot had been carefully watched
daily by the sheriff, but the prisoner
took advantage Of the changing Of Of
ficers that day and amid the turmoil
of moving in and arranging household
goods had an excellent opportunity to
accomplish the work of saving the
bar without the noise attendant up
on his labors being detected. AL
though the other prisoners professed
ignorance of any knowledge that
King meant to escape until they saw
him going through the window, they
We're very noisy, themselves, during
the day.
After King got out, his fellow pris-
oners gave the alarm, but it was then
dark and the man made good his es
cape.
Up to the time we go to press,
King, had not been apprehended, al
though strenuous efforts are being
made to recapture him.
This is the second Jail delivery
from the county jail in the past year,
two prisoners, Louis Blair and Vic
tor Albert, having escaped in sim
liar manner last May.

Dies at Menasha

ceased made his home:

lily since an early hour Saturday, at
$3.50 o'clock Monday morning closed

dent of the First National Bank OF
this city, president of the Menasha
Paper company and ex-president of

GAVE A SPLENDID CONCERT
Third Number Of Lyceum Course, o1
High Glass and Greatly
Appreciated

| Ino line au0l0nco DIT the COngfe
gational church last evening had the
privilege of listening to three yer.
liable daughters of music" And
that such classical program should
be so received, in such young city,
argues either advanced cultivation
or marked instinct for high art, along
this line. Many, upon first hearing,
impatiently condemn this class OF
compositions as jargon when, as a
rule, to hope to adequately under
stand them, under the umstances,
would be about as intelligent as to
expect to enter the Fourth Read
er" class without going through the
Primer"
Jane English, the vocalist, was
very happy in her selections, and
apparently won the audience, gener-
ally Her voice has a flexibility that
was very pleasing. This was shown
particularly in the coloratura effects
in her singing of 10, the Gentle
Lark, in which it was also COM
bined with a purity and finish of
tone which is quite unusual-the
beauty of her bird notes being a good
enough counterfeit to make an ordi-
nary sky-lark jealous.
Catharine Norfleet is sure a past
master of the VIOLIN and proved, as
in the aria from Bach, that she
could work apparent miracles on the
G. string alone Her feats of execu-
ton remind one Of the traditions Of
Camilla Urso, the old-time mistress
Of the instrument; and the power
and passion of her rendering of the
masters, recalls Keats description
music, yearning like God in pain.
And what can one not say of the
virtuosity of pianist like Helen
Norfleet? If Paderewski, Gabrillow-
itch, or any others that end in ski
or itch, ''have anything on her" the
chances are it lies largely in their
hair, or other spectacularity. Her
physique-Which, especially with lady
pianists, is too often inadequate-is
equal to the most stupendOus tOnal
conceptions of even the mighty
Beethoven. And in her technique she
has gotten so far beyond the mechan-
les of execution that the tones of
even the most masterful compositions
seem to drip like water from her fin
gers. All in all, these three artists
furnish a performance the finished
character of which, it strikes us, it
would be pretty hard to exaggerate.
AS a desire was expressed by some
of the audience to know what auth
ors and compositions had given them
such enjoyment the program is here
with appended: violin, Rondo ct Ca

the Roses so Pale?, Tschaikowski;
