Miss Childers was 17 years old. The eldest Miss Lloyd was saved by her mother, with the assistance ofalong pole.

June 23.—“Old)| Bill” Jennings (Harry Glenn), the! third ef the Macomb train robbers | to facea Wright county jury, got his billet for Jefferson City this eyening. Twenty years. It might | about as well have been a life gen- tence. “Old Bill” is 56 years old and has been through the mill. A.| D. 1919 is a long, long stretch in the future for a man like him. Joe Sheppard, “Old Bill’s” 24- year-old apprentice in crime, comes next. A venire of sixty men was ordered by Judge Cox today to report to-morrow morning at 9 From them Sheppard’s jury will be selected. Hearing of testimony in his case should begin Monday fore- noon. The result is a forgone con- clusion. Most people thought the lad would plead guilty to day, but it is said “Old Bill” “ribbed him up.” When “Shep” heard of the dose that the jury had prescribed for his mentor, he sucked the air through his set-teeth as though he had burn- ed his fingers. “Gee!” he eaid, “I reckon Lil get a century. They seem to be raising us all the time.” This is so, too.

Then came Jack Kennedy, the quail huster of Kansas City, who got seventeen years this week. And now “Old Bill” gets an even score. They made short work of “Old Bill’s” case. The venire reported Wednesday. Thursday morning the jury was eworn. Thursday afternoon and this morning the evidence was heard. Today from 10 a.m tolp m. was devoted to preparing the court’s instructions. Then came one hour and twenty minutes of arguing, At 3:20 the jury retired. And at 4:40 the verdict was returned. BALK ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE At last the expected has happened. | The Macomb train robbers, early this morning, tried to break jail. As a consequenee, Sheriff Cantrell has the whole party in irons new acd} declares he will keep them eo, no| matter how hot the weather, until he is “shut of them.” There was a great todo at o’clock this morning when Constable Demos, who was one of the guards on watch outside the calaboose, heard a suspicious noise, and, en investigation, found it had been caused by a saw grating on one of the twoto penny spikes that hold together the 2x4 oak joists, of which the lockup is built. The spikes are enly about six inches apart through out the structure, and itis next to impossible for one cutting into the walls to dodge them. Demos found a number of round holes in the near wall and a saw) blade sticking through. He at once | alarmed Sheriff Cantrell. And tken| half the town was turned out. A search of the jail developed an/| augur, a file and a saw—and five very dejected prisoners. They had} put thirty-two augur koles through} the rear wall in a rude equare. In| a very short time more they would| have been able to knock out a block| ef the wall and leave a hole big enough for a man to squeeze out j Further investigation resulted ia | the discovery of three of Lewis| 2 Nigh’s horses tied in a clump of} trees not far from the jail. Someone remembered to have seen Nigh’s son | Ben, and Al Ferguson lurking about | suspiciously during the evening. They were arrested at the Farmer hotel and charged with having con- nived at the attempted jail break. Both protest innocence, but are held. pouipeeenineammeninaieaiaal Virginia Items.

Magnetic Healing, ——— -08 After 30 years of study and culling and systematizing Doctor Tanner has given the name PSYCHOCHIRTHERAPY! to so-called magnetic healing. Dr. Tanner soon discovered that the two greatest Therapeutic or curative agents consigt- ed in properly directing the mind and in an intelligent man- ipulation of the body. By certain passive movements of the arms an acute cough, asthma, or colds are cured at once. Lumbago, Sciatica, neuralgia relieved immediately. Generak Nervousness, Neurasthenia, Headache, Indigestion, ‘‘Bil- iousness’’ Constipation and Dyspepsia can most certainly be cured without drugs. Dr. Tanner has practiced medicine and surgery for many years with a fair degree of success. On account of the Doctor’s profound knowledge he feels. that he ought to be allowed to give the Jayety a tip (pardon slang). The old Doctor, who wrote the ¢ de, brethren, lived in my native city, but it is said that we are all prone to err and perhaps this writing of the code was one of the greatest errors that ever Dr. Flint committed. A gentleman is always a gentleman without any written instruction; and, therefore, if you are conscientious and up to date in your profession of medicine I hope you will find patrons among the unfortunate, provided you do them no harm nor place them beyond the reach of Psychochirtherapy. Ladies and gentiemen! do you know that when this mortal form is blazing with fever that you can place your gentle, soothing hand upon one spot and with sufficient pressure slow the animal machinery and immediately lower the fever. It can be done, you cannot do it with any medicine on earth, not even with cold packs and baths.

Do you feel blue, sick and gloomy? Psycho: hirtherapy will cure you. If you are afilicted in any way and haye obtained no relief go and see Dr. Tanner. The Doctor wants all to distinctly understand that he is no more a faith doctor than any physician any where and can cure you without your faith, so long as you do good and avoid remorse.
