The high cost of taxation is
calling forth meetings of indig.
nant taxpa, ers all over the state,
and ways and means of reducing
the taxes are being seriously con-
sidered. Cheyenne county is
not alone. hut other counties arr
having the same kind of trouble.
Reduction of taxes must come
from the people themselves. and
a start must be made somewhere.
The chief cause Of high taxes is
the high cost of what we are

THREE PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM west UNION JAIL
Adams County Prisoners Dig Their
Way Through Wall Of Bastile
And Make Their Escape.

West Union Ohio, April 20. - Three
prisoners in the county Jail, Albert
Haines, Hervey Linville and Cecil
Fields, dug their way out through the
brick wall on the south side of the
building Thursday evening and made
their escape.
They are still at large. The Man
chester blood hounds were brought
here but failed to carry the trail on
account of heavy rain falling just
after the men broke Jail.
Sheriff Petit was away from the
jail at the time and the discovery was
made by his wife about o'clock. The
men had used butcher knife to loos-
en- the brick.
Three prisoners remained in the Jail
refusing to accept the chance to leave
They are William TIornton, Warner
Lewis and Clarence Hayslip.
Owing to the fact that the heating
plant at the jail is out of commission
the prisoners are allowed the freedom
Of the outer corridor until bed time
F, so that they can get to the stove to
keep warm. This gave the three men
who escaped the opportunity to start
work just after the supper hour.

MORE DOG OWNERS
ARE INDICTED BY
MASON GRAND JURY
Improvements to Jail and Sheriff's
Office Building are RECOMMENDED
By Jury In Its Final
Report.

Late Friday afternoon the Mason
county grand jury reported to court
having completed its work for the ses-
sion and was finally dismissed.
One hundred and twenty additional
owners Of dogs who have failed to pro-
cure the necessary county and state
license were indicted by the jury and
an indictment was returned against
William Edgar charging him with a
violation of the prohibition law. There
is similar charge now pending
against Edgar in the city court.
The grand jury's final report fol-
lows:
I'VE, the Grand Jury, empaneled at
the March term Of the Mason Circuit
Court respectfully report that we have
been in session the full term of six
days, have examined many witnesses
and have returned several indictments.
I'VE find the general conditions in
the county of Mason good. We have
examined the county offices and find
them and the jail in good order.
I'VE recommend, however, that the
Fiscal court cause the outside wood
and metal work Of the Jail and the
residence to be painted and that the
inside Of the Jail be given coat of
paint. The porch on the south side
of the Sheriff's Office needs repair and
the paper and paint on the inside of
the sheriff's office are bad and should
be renewed. W. NJ. MACKOY,
foreman"

HEALTH LEAGUE CAMPAIGN
FOR MEMBERSHIP IS ON
Everyone Should Be . Member Of the
County Health Organization-Se.
lection Of Slogan Interesting.

Health preserved is health deserved.
How is that for a slogan for the Ma
son County Health League7 Maybe It
will not be the chosen one to obtain
the prize, but anyway isn't 1t true?
Babies are mostly born sound, and
their health could be preserved If the
health Of the human animal were stud
led as faithfully as the health Of
hogs, for instance, or orange trees in
California. Health education is the
best means Of preserving health Of our
citizens, and thereby saving much
county money usually spent in sup
porting broken-down paupers. blind
children and other wards Of the state.
Mason County Health League is
composed Of resident of the county
who wish to prevent disease and pro-
vide for such legitimate activities of
the Health Department as cannot be
met by the official budget. The Health
League funds are expended for such
things as milk and eggs for poor tu-
berculars, laundry and supplies for
the trachoma clinics, smallpox vac
cine, diphtheria anti-toxin for those
unable to afford it. Keeping up the
Ford coupe for the county nurse
health literature and Office supplies
for the use Of the nurses, and material
relief for the county poor where tenn
porary relief is needed but the people
are not actually wards Of the county,
ety., etc. Every dollar Is stretched
to the full limit Of its capacity to do
good and save money for tho tax-pay-
ers. Scarcely family in Mason coun-
ty but wastes dollar or more every
month. Why not all join the Health
League, assist in preventing sickness,
and thereby purchase at least $1,000
worth of comfort and peace of mind ?
Charity begins at home. Join the
Health League. The ladies will call
on you for your dollar. II by any
chance you arc missed, mail your
check to Mason County Health League
215 Court Street, Maysville.
Wear your Health League button. 1t
it patriotic duty to show your colors.

SLIPPING OF STEEL
BEAM Caused ACCI-
Dent ON STEAMER
Steamboat Inspectors Say That Plot Of
Anarchist Is Absurd in Connection
With Accident to Island
Queen Thursday.

Vibrations endured during quar-
ter of a century in which the Island
Queen has buffeted the waves and cur
rents of the Ohio River are thought by
United States Engineers who inspect
ed the boat Friday to have eliminated
suddenly Thursday afternoon in the
collapse Of part Of the third deck,
which injured forty-four men, women
and children when the steamer was
of New Richmond en- route to the
Grant Centennial at PIT. Pleasant.
The engineers reported after their
investigation that the immediate cause
of the accident was the slipping Of a
thirty-foot steel 81" beam from an
eight-inch wooden upright standing
at the fore part Of the second deck.
The steel beam extended parallel with
the length Of the boaat and supported
the section Of deck that crashed.
The 81" beam was fastened to the
deck II. supported, but was laid on top
Of the wooden stanchion without being
secured. When the beam slipped from
this support 1t sagged down, and in
stead Of merely leaving the third deck
without support at this point, actually
dragged it down after it. The en-
gineers believe that the 81" beam may
have been working off its support
ing upright for years, due to vibra-
tions throughout the boat.
THE possibility of any one having
tampered with the Island Queen In or
der to cause an accident that might
kill the President is absurd" Captain
John X. Peyton. Federal Inspector Of
River Steamboats,, said after he and
Captain George w. Dameron Of the
same office had returned from five
hour inspection of the old steamer,
which they made in company with
George Green, Supervisor OF Steam
boat Inspectors in the Sixth and Sew
enth Ohio River Districts.
"As to any mortal hand having had
part in the beams slipping" Cap
tain Peyton said, at is really ridicu-
lous. The wooden upright stanchion
we found absolutely intact. We care
fully examined It and found that 1t
had not been tampered with in the
least. It was in just as good condition
as the day It was put in. 1t had not
been moved an inch from the spot
where II was first installed"
