Theft Charges.

Nebraska City, Neb, May 15.--
Especial telegram )-Beezley, II, one
OF the two prisoners who escaped
from the county Jail at Rockport,
Mo-, Friday night, was shot through
the back in gun battle with Sheriff
Ed Fischer here this afternoon.
Scott, the youthful futitive, was
captured by Deputy Sheriff Roy
Fischer after a short chase.
Authorities here had been notified
of the Jail break by the Rockport
sheriff and were on the lookout for
the two boys.
Early this afternoon Beezley and
Scott were discovered together in the
eastern part of the town by the
sheriff and his deputy. When the
fugitives saw the officers they sep
arated and started to run. The
deputy followed Scott, hating him
within few rods.
Sheriff Fischer, who was in an au-
tomobile, gave chase to Beezley.
When within hailing distance the Of
fcer ordered the fleeing youth to
halt. Beezley disregarded the COM
mand and Fischer brought him to
the ground with a .32 caliber bullet
which he sent crashing through the
boys hip.
Beezley was taken to the Whitton
hospital, where physicians declared
the wound to be not critical.
The two prisoners were to have
been tried at Rockport Tuesday on
charges of auto stealing. The Rock
port sheriff will return Scott to the
Missouri Jail tomorrow.
1t is said that the shooting has
aroused the ire of many residents
here. Several persons expressed the
opinion that the shooting was un-
called for, in view of the victims
age and the circumstances of the
capture.

REGISTER OF WILLS

In announcing to the Dem ocrats
of Cecil County my candidacy for
che nomination of Register Of Wills,
I feel that am justified in referring
to my record for faithful and efllci-
ent service in the duties that have
the Registers Office. During ihy
term the business of the oficS has
increased to such an extent that now
it more than ever calls for expert
ence and faithful service to protect
and safeguard the orphans, the wild
ows and the homes. / have given
the work of the Office my constant
and personal attention, and believe
that can fairly say that am al
ways on the job looking out for the
interests of the public. The main
object of the Direct Primary Law is
to give the citizens an opportunity
to turn the searchlight on those APP
plying for public favor and to select
the candidate best fitted for the
VOoltlOu. AAEttC q t0OA0u6n CA-
animation of my qualification. The
only way to determine with any de-
gree of certainty what man will
do in public office is finding out
what he has done in the past; there
fore, assuming we all are Interested
in good government, isn't it The part
of wisdom to vote for the man who
has demonstrated his qualifications
for the Office to which he aspires, in
stead of some one who has nothing
to offer but promises? am maxi
ing my campaign on my record, aid
as it has always been the custom in
Cecil to give man denomination
If he has made good during his first
term, most respectfully solicit tho
votes and support of the Democrats
for Register of Wills at the coming
primary.

BOY Gave World Lamp Chimney.

=
The. lamp chimney of today was Civ
en- to, the world through the misbe-
havior of small boy. The first lamp
having an air chamber was invented
by Swiss, Jules Argand. A wick was
introduced into hollow tube and the
tube inset into the lamp. AS this al
lowed oxygen to enter the base a
much brighter flame was given than
by any lamp then In use. Jules had a
small brother and as small boys of
that day were very like the small boys
of today. Jules was instructed TO
watch him. and especially to look out
for fire and little fingers.
Jules remembered his Instructions
but a few minutes and then became
so busy that his little brother quite
passed from his mind. He was bend
ing over bench, straining his eyes to
see some minor defects In his work.
when suddenly the room became much
brighter. Jules turned and discovered
the boy with a bottomless oil flask
which he had lowered over the wick
Of the lamp. The fame had leaped
up the long circular neck Of the flask
with greatly increased brilliancy. Ar
gand instantly saw the possibilities be-
fore him and the modern lamp Chin
pey was born.

the greatest congress of attractions
in history. without eliminating
any of the thousand thrills produced
by hundreds of the most skillful
men and women performers, the
Ringing Brothers have added, with
out additional charge, the most SEN
sational of wild beast displays. Not
only will you see the artists who
occupy the three rings, five stages,
the great hipprodrome track and the
aerial rigging in the tent top, but
four spacious steel arenas filed
with wild beasts as well.
Tigers riding peaceable on the
backs of elephants, black-maned
African lions springing to and from
galloping horses, great troupes of
polar bears walking ropes or playing
at see-saw, leopards jumpin
through hoops of fire-these are
some Of the marvellous things that
these wonderful animals do. While
these beautiful creatures are under
absolute control, they are presented
only in great arenas of steel. Else
where in the main tent you will see
camels performing much after the
fashion of horses-an act never be-
fore presented anywhere. There
are five ,troupes of trained seals,
whole bevies of remarkable dogs,
monkeys. pigs and pigeons. Twenty
six elephants will perform at one
time. Others will do tricks at the
top of high pedestals and others
