A BOLD BREAK FOR LIBERTY,
PRISONERS HILL AND HOFFEN ARE
PUNCTURED WIIH LEAD.
Three Prisoners Escape From the
Woodward County Jail—One
Recaptured and Two Meet
Their Just Dues.
Woodward, May 4.—A bold, dar-
ing and disastrous jail delivery occur-
red al out 1 o'clock in this city today.
Prisoners Hill, Waddle and HofEen,
the first two cofined for liberating
prisoners a month aifo, secured a gun
and forced the guard to open the cell.
Tliey then armed themselves with
Winchesters in the cell house and
started-for the rough hills on the
north. Sheriff Odeu upon being
notified, summoned deputies and
gave cl.ase.
A fierce fijrlit within a mile of
town resulted 111 killing Hill and
U off en and the capture of Waddle.

amputation at once. Officer Pryor's
horse was shot from under
him. Ati inquest held bv Coroner

Public sentiment commends Sheriff
Oden and his deputies. The escape,
killing anil capture consumed a little
less than three hours.
HARTMEYER-PATTERSON.
Dr. W. A. Hartmeyer and Miss
Fannie L. Patterson Married.
Last Sunday as the sun was shin-
ing bright and warm; merrily danc-
ing on tlie hillsides, bathing the
green dales in a joyous light, and the
soft balmy breezes of spring came
stealing up from the south-land
ladened with the perfume of spring,
and the dove was softly calling to
its cooing mate, a cortege of carriages
drove up in front of that popular
hostelry, the North Side hotel, and
were received by Mine Host Keegan,
clothed in his best bib and tucker,
and with his suavest smile overspread
ing his boniface countenance conduct-
ed the occupants into the parlor,where
Judge Colliding was in wait'tig with
all the dignity of a United States
chief justice, and clothed in his
Talmagic frock coat, who pfDcuedect
to unite—in his usual impressive
way—Dr. A. W. Hatineyer of North
Enid, late of Pittsbusgh, Pa., and
Miss Fannie L. Patterson of Omaha,
Neb,, m hymen's silken bonds.
The bride who has the distinc-
tion of Iming—considered by those
who were fortunate enough to be
present—the handsomest of all of
Enid's many brides, wrs appro-
priately and richly dressed with
cream satin, trimmed iu Irish point
lace.
J. G. Frazier, general manager for
the Waters Pierce Oil company for
this district, gave the bride away.
Mr. Trease, of McCristy and 'l'rease
sustained the groom through the
ordeal, and Miss liunting acted as
bridesmaid.
After the ceremony the happy
•couple took the south bound train
for Oklahoma City, where they will
in the future make their home.
Dr. Hartmeyer is well known in
Oklahoma, being among the early
pioneers, and has many warm friends
who sincerely congratulate him upon
his good luck, and wish him the
richest of blessings.
THE NEW CAPITOL.
Contracts Are Completed For the
Erection of New Buildings.
Skoali a, Mo,, May 3.—TheSedalia
board of trade and Commonwealth
Land and Development company to-
day completed and signed the con-
tracts for the erection of the propos-
ed new capitol buildings without
cost to the state. The sale of a
thousand acres of land is to provide
for the guarantee fund, and J milton
dollars is pledged for the redemption
of bonds. As a result, should Sedalia
tail to get the capitol, the bond pur-
chasers will be completely protected.
Should the capitol be secured the
bonds will be worth at least their
face value of $50 and undoubtedly
much more.
SAM JONES ON TRILBY.
The Georgia Evangelist Attacks
the Novel Characteristically.
Atlanta, Ga., May ft Sam
Jones, the evangelist, put his feet
firmly and forcibly on the neck of the
Trilby cult Saturday and then paid
his respects to society at large.
Among other things he said: "I have
h friend who is competent to read
and give me the outline and charac-
ters of some of the later novels over
which sooiety is running wild and
I must confess that so far ns my in-
vestigations have gone the most of
them are filled with vulgar insinua-
tions and infidelic tendencies. 1 see
| on the bulletin of every bookstore
| written, "Trilby." I have had this
novel given to me minutely as 1
have many others by a careful read
er. Trilby, the heroine, is a little
street wanderer, devoid of virtue,
hunting a job to strip herself and
pose before an artist, without the
traceof modesty or shame. She is at
home among a band of rough, would-
be artists, in a Latin quater. The
character Svengali, a filthy, distaste-
ful musician, brings her into a pro-
longed hypnotic state, imparts to her
a great musical talent and brings her
on the stage as Mistress Svengali
with the insinuation to any though-
ful reader that they live together
and that lie acts as he chooses with
her in this hypnotic state and the
book concludes with nothing 1 can
see in any character to help or ele-
vate, but teaches that which is vici-
ous and intidelic and not lit to be
read.
"1 believe that these black and
damning streams, which seem to be
broadening and deepening, have their
origin in what the world calls 'high
society.' The parlor evening dress is
the legitimate mother of stage tights.
A few good women made a kick on
poor old Breckinridge, who, like
many others m politics, ought to be
consigned to private life, but this
kick loses its force when thev will
go and its before the footlights of
what they call a stage star, whom
they know to he ten times as vile as
poor old Breckinridge.
THE KICKAPOO OPENING.
The Proclamation May Bo Issued
Within Thirty Days.
Washington. May 0.—Within
thirty days President Cleveland will
issue his proclamation opening the
Kickapoo reservation to settlement,
and the thousands of settlers who
have patiently withstood privations
to retain places upon the border of
the richest section of all Oklahoma
may make their preparations for a
race which congress delivers over to
the swift and stronge.
It is entirely probaVile, although
the probability yet lacks the sanction
of official action, that Oklahoma will
in advance be permitted to make its
'chool indemnity selections of 50,000
acres within the'litnit oi the .-eservu.
tion. it is believed, however, by
those most conversant that a fort-
night should be sufficient fur that
purpose, and in that event the presi-
dent's proclamation will be issued
within three weeks and 320 square
miles of the most fertile laud iu the
southwest will then be opened to
settlement.
SHOOTING AT STILLWATER.
Family Jara Suppose to Have Been
the Direct Cause.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Adain Lahar
shot and instantly killed her step,
daughter, Mrs. Emma McHenry at
Stillwater, O, T. Eye witnesses
state that there was no difficulty in
the way of a fight before the shoot-
ing. Mrs. McHenry went to Mrs.
Laiiar's house and was met at the
door by Mrs. Lahar with a loaded
45-calibre revolver in her hand who
said: "Don't you come in here; get
out of tins place, or damn you 1 will
kill you." She repeated the demand
and as Mrs. McHenry turned to
leave, saying as she did: "Shoot
me if you want to." At this moment
Mrs. Lahar sent a bullet from the
inside of the house, as the screen
door was punctured by the ball which
hit its victim on tlie right side of the
neck severing the large artery, who
then stagered about eight or ten feet
and fell, expiring almost instantly.
Family trouble is supposed to be the
cause but nothing positive is known.
Cleveland Can't "Tumble."
President Cleveland to Gov. Stone
of Mississppi:
I have never ceased to wonder
why the people of the south, furnish-
ing so largely as they do products
which are exported for gold, should
be willing to submit to the disad.
vantages and loss of silver mono-
metallism and to content themselves
in a depreciated and fluctuating cur-
rency while permitting others to
reap a profit from the transmutation
of the prices of their products from
silver to gold.
Released on Bail.
London, May 7,_()scar Wilde

furnishing personal bond for $12,500
and two sureties in $0,250 each.
One of his sureties is Lord Douglass
Hawick, eldest surviving son of the
Marquis of Queensberry.

HE WAS A KANSAS MAN, brief mention of news
'BITTER CREEK" THE DEAD OUT-
LAW HAS A ROMANTIC CAREER.
! From Everywhere Briefly Briefed
For Bussy Mod.
THE I ^EST
The Dead Outlaws Viewed By
Thousands at Guthrie, Okla-
homa—Newcomb's Body
Claimed.
The dead bodies of "BitterCreek"
and "Dynamite Dick", the two dead
outlaws, were embalmed at Guthrie
and then placed on exhibition.
About 10,000 people passed in re-
view before them. The Heck Island
trainmen identified them as the men
who robbed the train at Dover last
month and the company has agreed
to pav the rewards at once.
The father of George Newcomb
came up from his home near Oklaho-
ma City and identified the corps of
"Bitter Creek" as the body of his
son, George Newoomb, alias "Slaugh-
ter Kid" alias "Bitter Creek".
Only a few years ago he was a
bright Kansas boy surrounded by re-
latives of wealth and social standing
having an uncle who is a wholesale
grocer. Mr Newcomb, the father
of the dead outlaw is a brother-in-
law of the late Col. Isaao Stadden
of Ft. Scott, Kansas, founder of the
Stadden wholesale grocery company
of Ft. Scott, one of the largest
establishments in the state. Mr.
Newcomb was associated with this
establishment for some years. It
was in 1878, when George Newcomb
was about twelve years old, a gen-
tleman named Slaughter brought to
Ft. Scott a bunch of Texas ponies
to sell. When Slaughter left George
went with hiin, and was afterward
known as Slaughter Kid. After an
absence of about a year he returned
only, however, to remain a few
months.
On hearing of him again, he had
drifted into the Indian Territory and
subsequently was employed by Mr.
Oscar Halsell of Guthrie to work on
his ranch and during the time lie
was in the employ of Halsell, which
was a number of years, he was con-
sidered a valuable man.
%TOO YOUNG TO SAY YES.
The women of Tho Colorado Leg-
islature See Their Sad Mistakes.
Last year the Colorado Populists
elected several women to the state
legislature, says the Guthrie Leader.
The first measure tliey brought for-
ward was a bill raising the age of
consent to 21 years. The women
rallied to the support of this propo
sition, and it became a law, the first
ever placed on the statute books by
a woman legislator.
Now, after the legislature has ad-
journed, the author of the law has
discovered that it makes illegal every
marriage of a woman under 21 years
of age with or without the consent
of her parents or guardian. Under
the Colorado law any woman under
twenty-one is incapable of saying
yes to a proposition of marriage, and
any man who marries a girl of twenty
is liable to a five-year sentence in
the penitentiary.
The Colorado women legislators
are now on their knees before the
supreme court asking that their first
law shall be declared unconstitution-
al. That loudly heralded legislative
triumph of the Colorado new women
seems to have been constructed on
the boomerang pattern.
O'DONNELL WHIPS KILRAIN.
But it Took Twenty-one Rounds to
Do it.
Coney Island, N. Y., May 0.—
about 6,000 people viewed the fight
here last night in which Steve O'
Connell of Austrialia, put to sleep
Jake .Kilrain iu twenty-one rounds.
At the twenty-first round Jake
showed evident signs of his punish-
ment, but he was still very game.
He led off with his left on the neck,
O'Donnell fought around the ring.
When at close quarters he put his
right on the body und sent his left
over on the jaw. Jake fell like a
log to the floor, and although he
managed to get up within the ten
seconds the referee stopped the bout
at the request of the police. Jake
would have been put out with one
more punoh. Time of last round, 1
minute and 18 seconds. Time of
tight, I hour, 20 minutes and 10 sec-
onds.
Although Kdrain rose within the
stipulated ten seconds, O'Donnell
was awarded the decision, the bout
virtually ending iu a knock-out.
Hades Is Full of Just Such Men.
A man may be a prince of good
fellows, a fit subject for heaven and
all that sort of thing when sober,
but hell is brim full of just such
characters as. he is when drunk.
The Metropolitan hotel saloon,
operated by T. M. Winn, was closed
last night on an attachment from \
Justice Case's court. The attachment
was run to satisfy a claim for $09, j
held by Glasner & Barren, wholesale j
liquor dealers.
1 he Democrats of Chicago have !
subscribed $1,000,000 for a new
Democratic daily. Kohlsatt will find
that lie may buy presses and type and
even circulation, but he can't pur-
chase principles or force doctrines |
upon an unwilling constituency.— Ex. j
The bitter fight in Kansas City,
over the I liief of Police has at last
culminated in the appointment of
Col. Ij. F. Irwin as chief and Con
Murphey as Inspector. Chief Speers
who was removed by the board of
police commissioners had filed the
place for the last twenty-one years.
Theodore Durrant, the young
medical student accused of murder-
ing the two girls in Emanuel church,
San Fransisco, has been refused bail
and Police Judge Conlan, the com-
mitting magistrate, in rendering his
decision held that the chain of cir-
cumstantial evidence was complete.
Another bundle of letters resur-
rected from the wreck of the Elbe
has arrived in the Kansas City post-
office and has been distributed.
Some of the envelopes had been
soaked off and the letters came in
new ones. Other envelopes were
good, but the stamps were gone and
the Gorman postoffice at Bremen
stamped them, ''Paid, stamp lost,"
in both English and German. The
letters were under water more than
a month.
A number of farmers living ten
miles west of Yankton S. D., have
established a telephone system cover-
ing eight miles of wire, which is an
application of scientific principles
with a vengeance. The farms ill
that vicinity are surrounded by barb
wire fences. The staples have been
removed from the, wire and insulated
fasteners substituted. A call battery
has been constructed a nd the farmers
are now able to converse with each
other. The expense for the whole
system did not exceed #25.
Granting that Mrs. Sartoris is to
wed Mr. Douglass of Maryland, what
a lesson that will be for the section
haters! The daughter of the great
commander of the Union forces
marries a man who served f>allanlly
in the Confederate army, says au
exchange. To General Grant the
war was overin 1805. Twenty years
later his old enemv in war, General
Buckner, we t, to Mt. McGregor to
clasp his hand before he died.
Thirty years after Appomattox his
daughter may give her hand in
marriage toan ex-Cwnfederateofficer.
And the great work of cementing a
once divided country goes swiftly ou.

TOUGH ON THE POPULIST.
A Sensation in the Householder
Investigation.
Topeka, Kas., May 2.—Mrs. Lease
testified in the Householder investiga-
tion today and created a sensation.
She said that the Board of Charities
had bought for the Insane Asylum
butter from Governor Levelling that
was awful—so bad that it made her
sick. She scored Householder for
neglect of duty and wasteful expen-
ditures, and when Attorney Webb
tried to suppress lies, denounced him
as an anarchist, and said that he had
advised the members of the board to
carry axes and drive Dr. Weiitwonh
out of the Osawattomie Asylum.

MEDICINE FREE,
Making it as light as possible to the unfortu-
nate sick. People from the country, I will
charge only the price of medicine, which might
be 25 cts. to £1.00; never exceeding it. Hetora
leaving the patient, locate as near as possible,
the symptoms, or in plain words, the exact spot
where the pain is; if in the head, throat, chest,
sides, stomach, bowels, Iiinbs, etc. Is the skin
moist or dry, nervous insomnia, bowels consti-
pated or loose, vomiting, cough, sneezing and
watery eyes, pulse rapid or slow, palpitation of
heart, shooting pains in the limbs, or numbness
to hands or feet, fever as much as can b
judged.
The few remarks above enable the physi-
cian to make a diagnosis and nine times out of
A ten, he can safely send the medicine needed. At
first sight this looks like competition; it is not.
Medicine is high and will remain so. Medical

people, and this is the class 1 apply to as au act
