Postmasters over the country have been supplied with new set of rules which must be followed by patrons of the office if quick results are to be obtained. Take slant at them:
 No letters given out until they are received.
 If you don't get a letter or paper on the day you expect it, have the postmaster or his employees look through all the boxes, and in the base ment, too. Your mail ought to be there somewhere, and the force just loves to hunt for it to please you.

Three Desperate
Characters Escape
Attack Jailer at Wallace and Getting
Arms Flee From The City-Still at
Large.
q. N. S. Leased wire)


WALLACE, Ida, Sept. 20-Three
desperate criminals heavily armed
and well supplied with ammunition
are sought here today by sheriff's
posses, after a battle with jailers in
which the prisoners were successful
in breaking from the county Jail last
night.
For the second time in three months
John Flanagan, held for the shooting
of Thomas Sollee, three months ago,
escaped from his cell with Jerry
O'Rourke, an ex-prize fighter, and
Thomas Ryan, both held for assault,
with intent to kill.
O'Rourke and Ryan last evening
hid in the bath room of the Jail when
the prisoners were being returned to
their cells for the night. When Jailer
Lee came into the bath room O'Rourke
attacked him. The prisoner and the
jailer fought desperately and Lee was
gradually getting the upper hand
when Ryan knocked him out with a
blow on the head. The prisoners
rushed to the lobby of the Jail and
with the aid of Lees gun forced a
deputy sheriff in charge. into a spec
ial cell, where Flanagan has been
kept since his arrest, after his pre-
vious escape. The men tied and gag
ged the deputy sheriff, took his keys
and another gun and escaped through
a rear door.

LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE
ATTEND SECOND ANNUAL MEET
OF SOUTHERN IDAHO FAIR
Great Exhibition of Agricultural and Horticu-
tural Products, but Gooding County Captures
Confectionery -Hagerman Community Can
merry" Products Feature Races Well Con-
tested.

The Second Annual Exhibition of
the Southern Idaho Fair association
struggled into form on Monday, warm
ed up on Tuesday and by Wednesday
was going at a 2:40 clip, or there
abouts. It is a fine exhibition in
many respects and is being given a
great attendance; but it is not all that
a fair should be in this garden spot of
the world Candor compels so much
of an admission and with it must go
the dgment-concurred in by
all whom your scribe heard refer to
the subject, that it is in many re-
spects handicapped by its location.
This is not said with any invidious in
tent toward the enterprising village
of Filler or the splendid country about
it; but merely in recognition of cold
facts. However, both the fair and the
town are young, and the future is
large and long.
One thing is certain, the Fair man
agement spared no trouble, pains or
expense to give their visitors a good
show and the best of treatment in
every respect; and has the right to
feel that if there were any short-com-
ings, they were of the absolutely un-
avoidable kind. For instance, their
plan to have a great aviation stunt
was only defeated after the second
engaged aviator was hurt, and after
five others had been in vain lombard
ed by wine.
It is not entirely creditable, as it
seems to us, that the Twin Falls coun-
oh hou a G0nninQ
county to come across the Snake riv-
er and dominate the show of agricul-
tural and horticultural products. But
that is just what happened, the exhib-
its from Gooding not only taking
sweepstakes as a whole, but pulling
down twenty-one first class and eleven
second class premiums on different
items thereof. Messrs. ]. c. Evans,
y Clarence Ambel and H. E. Barrett, all
n Wendell, had charge of this aggre-
CATION, which was, perhaps, the great
est single feature of the display.
But another drawing card came also
from Gooding county, in charge of
Mr.. Ellsworth, the county agent, who
gave to it a most intelligent and ef-
fective setting forth. Reference is
had to the canned goods-peaches
pears, plums, apricots, tomatoes
beans, corn, etc.-all from the Com
munity Cannery," located at Hager-
man This was especially interesting
because it is a new thing. The coun-
ty commissioners purchased (and
OWN the plant by an investment OF
less than three hundred dollars; and
