Inspector Gregory's Fine
Work.
The escape of the notorious i
yeggman, Otis De Ford, at Cadts, j
in this rnnntv. some three years I
/
ago, was in the circumstances
almost incredible without the connivance
of the officers who had
him in custody. A desperate man,
as he was known to be, should
have been guarded with extraordinary
vigiiance and for that
reason, no doubt, two officers
were sent to take him to Charleston,
a United States marshal and
bis deputy.
The prisoner was handcuffed,
er supposed to be, and in this
condition he jumped through the
window of a moving traiu, escaping
without injury. Although
immediate search was made he

though the earth had swallowed
him up. Could he have accomplished
this without help ? The
theory is that by some means
'
the haudcuffs were removed on
the train and by preconcerted
arrangement bis friends were there
to hurry him away in the darkness,
defying pursuit, even if it
had been undertaken seriously.
But whatever the means of De
Ford's escape he had matched
against him one of the shrewdest
and most resourceful detectives
in the United States, l'ostoffice
Inspector H. T. Gregory.
Unce m pursuit or a rugiwve unminal
Mr Gregory is as tireless as
a bloodhound on the track of his
quarry aud it is seldom that he
fails to get his man.
If there were many more officials
such as Inspector Gregory
the gentle art of robbing postI
offices would soon die a natural
death.

We have been asked what assurance
we have that Governor
Johnson would carry his own
B
State if he were nominated for
president on the Democratic ticket.
Well, none at all. But we
feel as confident that Johnson
would carry Minnesota, if nominated,
as we do that Bryan will
not carry Nebraska.

The first candidate for Congress
announces himself is Mr.

Mr. Hodges is a good business

"The Old World aod its Ways"
By William Jennings Bryan. <
This remarkable book of 575 1
pages, voluminously illustrated am'
elegantly bound, has been issued by i
"The Thompson Publishing Com- j
pauy" of St. Louis, Mo., and is j
sold by subscription. s
We would advise our young
friends who are out of employment ]
to seek the agency ar.d canvass for (
this book. It is certainly one ot the
most readable, entertaining and edi
fying volumes we bave read in a
long tim*. It was almost like re- .
tracing our first trip around the i
world, with Jess than one-thousand- j
th of the money and onehundredd ]
th of tiie time required for our '
' first trip." !
The great problems of civilization, [
religion, philosophy and government
in Japan, China, the Philippines,
India, as well as Europe, are presented
in a clear light by a great
brain.
Mr Bryan was accompanied on J
this trip by his wife and two younger
children, William J., Jr, and
Grace, aged 16 and 14, respectively.
They started September 21, 1905,
and reached home September 5,1900,
sixteen days less than one year (
While most of this trip wais in tne
North Temporal Zone, they were J
below the equator a few days in Java,
and for a while above the arctic
circle in Norway."
This book ought to be in every
home where there are boys a.id girls '
with brains aud promise. <
