NEGROES DESTROY COUNTY JAIL AT
 ARKANSAS CITY
Attempt at Escape Frus- trated When Falling Wall :
 Alarms City Marshal.

The Desha county jail at Arkansas City was virtually destroyed early Friday morning, when four negro prisoners attempted to bring about d wholesale delivery, and, although none of the prisoners gained his lib- erty, the Desha county bastile is not now fit for service as prison, be- ing badly in need of extensive repairs before it can be made secure place in which to hold offenders.
 J. H. Hicks, Ernest Jones, William Bunder and Ed Shorts, four negroes, are in the Jefferson county jail, hav- ing been brought here yesterday from Arkansas City, to be held in confinement here until they have been tried. The negroes were the ring leaders in the plot to escape from jail, and had virtually succeed ed in their plans, when they were stopped by Town Marshal Randall.
 The negroes had sawed through many bars in the cell doors within the jail, and all the prisoners had been liberated from their cells. There were about dozen prisoners thus released: Then the negroes dug a hole in the brick wall of the jail, that they might get outside and at liberty. The wall, however, col lapsed, causing such a noise that Town Marshal Randall was attract ed.
 The marshal ran to the scene, drawing his two pistols. He held the negroes at bay with one of the pis- tols and raised an alarm by firing the other pistol, the shots bringing other men, who took the negroes in charge,

Fashions of To-Daya-S By May Manton

THIS is a simple ki1nono
 dress. It can be made to
 serve as a dress or as an apron or as a negligee. It means only two seams to sew up and there is the least pos sible labor required to make 1t. 1t can be made of any ma- terial that may be desired and suited to it's special use. Here, it is a morning dress and is made of a washable material held by a sash that matches the trimming. If you wear it over a garment, it will serve as an apron; and in such case you can use a simple belt in place of the sash. If it is made of a pretty kimono crepe or kimono challis and is worn without sash or belt and made without pockets, it becomes a simple negligee that can be dropped over the head in a moment, and is always com. fortable and satisfactory.
 To make the garment will be needed, AZ yards of material 27 inches wide, 334 yards 36 inches wide or 3N yards "A inches wide, with I yard of any width for sash or trimming.
 The pattern No. o29o is cut in three sizes: 34 or 36, 38 or 40, AZ or A bust. 1t will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.

A Better Way To Help
Democracy Along Could
Have Been Selected

Herbert s. Bigelow, pastor Of the
Peoples church, Of Cincinnati, and prom
inently identified With various pacifst
activities. was taken from hall in Flor
ence. Ky. lashed with a whip, soused with
kerosene oil, and turned loose naked IN
the hills by mob Of indignant Ken
tuckians.
Bigelow was told that he must leave
Cincinnati for the duration of the war
and altho he has bitterly denounced the
attitude and policies Of the government
he Is now appealing 20 that same govern
ment to protect him from further out
rage.
It's hard to arouse sympathy in Amer
ica AT this time for a man of 5igelo~ s
type.
But the methods adopted in the "old
dark and bloody ground for combating
mistaken pacidsm are not likely TO oe
productive Of good results
The members Of the secret oath
bound organization" which tool upon e.
self the punishment Of Bigelow are do
ing as much or more harm TO the coun-
try's cause as is Bigeow and all his
tribe.
Congress has made laws fully adequate
to deal with Mr. Bigelow and those like
him the moment they become a public
menace.
Until he violates those laws his person
is sacred, and such ouuages as those
perpetrated at Florence only serve %
confirm in their belief those misguided
persons who shout that IN opposing
Americas war for civilization they are
being prosecuted for righteousness sake.
The sane pacifst today standing
squarely behind the government and IS
using his best endeayors % make his
benighted brethren see the error of their
ways, because he knows that lasting
peace can come only when the Prussian
autoeracy has been overthrow.
He knows. as all Americans should
know, that since the days OF the inQllsi-
tion. persecution has failed as a means
of conversion.
The loyal gentlemen from Kentucky
should seek place in the army where
their strong arm" methods can be APP
piled to advantage against the Ger
mans
Making martyrs out Of the kaiser de-
luded helpers in this country and there
by assuring them measure OF sympathy
and support among people who love fair
play which otherwise would have been
withheld, is a poor way to help along the
cause of democracy.
