march, one of the prisoners, by a
quick movement grabbed Guard
Scott's Winchester and yelled hands
up. McCracken, Scott and Billings
were instantly covered. Soon the
gun case was reached, where the cell
men provided themselves with guns.
Then the jailor and two guards
were overpowered and the keys
taken from McCracken. Within
three minutes, eleven desperate
prisoners sprang out the front en-
trance of the jail, taking with them
all the jail artillery.

At the first alarm an immense

The prisoners left the jail in a

when they seperated.
Young Hale hid under an embank-

was captured by Earnest Metz.

bills are paid the total receipts for the
past six months will be $3,391.67, and
when the debts of the department
are paid the total expenses will be
$1,819.49 leaving a balance in favor of
the department of $1,572.18.
The report shows a balance of $2,888-
44 on hand. Of this sum $1,585.49 was
in the treasury on the first day of
January, being the amount left at
the end of the preceding six months
after all the expenses of the depart-
ment had been paid.
In other words the receipts of the
waterworks plant for the first of its |
operation under tnuncipial ownership I
exceeded its expenses by $2,888 44.
The city is paying $2,500 a year in-
terest on the waterworks bonds so
that there is a net profit of $<>57.69
for the year. Instead of paying $4,200
a year for water service, the
now actually enjoys free water and a
healthy income from the waterworks
plant.

grandest affair that the town has en-
joyed for sometime back. The meet-
ing of so many friends was more than
noticeable while it was anticipated
by a few that we would only have a
small crowd on account of Norman
and Lexington picnics, but the
estimate here was about 25,00 people
As good luck would have it the part
of the committee who did not kick
and took the reins in their own hands
was Dr. Murphy, Dock Haynes, Tom
Henderson and Gus Lesly and pulled
the affair through to a success with
plenty to eat for all. The kickers

by Hon. B. F. Wolf was appreciated
by a large crowd while his voice was
low his thoughts was deep and very
well appreciated by the people. The
gentleman who spoke from Kansas
on Odd Fellowship was out of sight
he certainly understands his business.
The ball on the grounds at night was
a success and enjoyed by those who
attended up to 12 o'clock then the
kicking commenced. A young man
Mr. Jackson showed another young
man that he belonged to a kicking

BARKER POINTS THE WAY.
Tells Philadelphians how to Protect Their
Rights,
The people of Philadelphia are in
an uproar of indignation over the
question of granting thirteen street
railway franchises by the Council,
franchises that the city was offered
two and one-half million dollars for,
but which the Council gave away free.
Hon. Wharton Barker was interview-
ed by the Philadelphia Daily Times
In the interview he pointed out the
way for the people of Philadelphia
to save themselves.
The following is from the Philadel-
phia Times, of June 20.
Wharton Barker, the well known
reformer, finds the rapid transit acts
of the Legislature reason for the
adoption of the initiative and re-
ferendum. In an interview with a
representative of The Philadelphia
Times yesterday the late candidate
for the Presidency on the Populist
ticket said:

through the ballot box."
Mr. llarker declared that the true
opposition to the referendum was due
to the few who profited by the pres-
ent conditions aiul to ignorance. Con-
tinuing, he said:
' Direct legislation applied to the
government of the nation, state and
city could not be subversive of good
government. A gas franchise, a
water franchise could not be given
away to the great advantage of a
small clique of politicians and capi-
talists to the great damage of the
people. No one who believes the
people are fitted to govern them-
selves, capable of discussing what
laws are good and what bad, can
honestly oppose direct legislation,
I which means nothing less than gov-
ernment by and for the people. The
people are fitted to decide what will
promote, what retard, the weal of a
city, a state, of the whole country.
The newspapers and the telegraph
bring them together in point of time
and they can discuss any question
even as they could if meeting to-
gether. And so fitted, they are
I fitted to have the right to directly
supervise the acts of their repre-
I sentatives, to veto any act passed by
passed by their legislators that they
dislike, to enact any law over the
j beads of their representatives that
their representatives, influenced by
the rich and powerful, refuse to
enact in response to popular demand.
"The referendum should be applied
to cities, states and nation alike.
The adoption of the system would
not require of a necessity amend-
ments to Federal and State Constitu-
ions, although adoptions of constitu-
tional amendment would be best.
Those who believe in government of,
by and for the people must approve.
I repeat the lesson of the Harrisburg
and Philadelphia railway legislation
of the last month should bring home
to the people the imperative need of
the adoption of direct legislation.
Let a candidate for Governor, a can-
didate for Mayor, on this simple
platform, 'shall the people govern
themselves?' be put before the peo-
ple at the next election, and there
should be no doubt of the outcome of
the election."

once to file his bond, $1(0,000 as re-

This was the position asked for by
