Brolto Jail.
Wednesday night Donnelly the
man who was confined in our county
jail, on complaint of Fred Zimmcrcr
for the crime of forgery, succeeded
in making his escape. He was the
only occupant of the jail and it
seems that the sheriff did not con
fine him in his cell as it was hot,
but permitted him to occupy the
room or corridor outside the cell.
The prisoner in some way suceeded
in removing some bricks from the
partition wall and by that means
got into the outside hall. He then
took the outside door oil the hinges
and was then in the open air, and
departed lor parts unknown. The
man, it will be recollected, passed a
forged check upon Mr. Zimmcrcr
some time ago, being accompanied
by a woman. The pair went to
North Platte and the same game
was played there by the woman.
Mr. immcrer had the man brought
here, on the charge, but up to the
time of his escape lie had had no
preliminary examination Clipper

Accordino to the English prcs s
when Sir Alfred Milner was leav
ing England for the cape, he ex
plained the British policy by ask
ing: "If you saw a solid pile of
gold worth 500,000,000 over there
with 20,000 Boers armed to the
teeth sitting upon it what would
you do?" One of the leaders of the
Outlanders' movement has been
frank enough to say: "We don't
care about the franchise; we want
the mines." At the recent rate of
interest the Transvaal mines will
yield annually in dividends, in a
year or two, about $75,000,000.
That is the real explanation of
the British attitude toward the
South African republic. Boston

ocratic national platform of 1900
Those who know Bryan well do
not doubt it. He will make silver
and anti-imperialism hot issues
right up to the time of the conven
tion, but he will be prepared to
take any line of policy that in his
judgement will add the greatest
strength to his candidacy, should
he be the nominee. Kearney Hub.

controls over $50,000 worth of cat
tle. Mr. Calling bought his stock
last spring and has cleared, by
the sale over $2,000, and if shipped
by Mr. Norsworthy at the present
