The escape of Murderer Carleton and
other prisoners from the Dodge county
jail is yet the subject of almost general
comment, and severe censure for the
sheriff is on every tongue. That a man
condemned to capital punishment
should be permitted to occupy a cage
ol common iron with prisoners known
j as professienaljail breakers can hardly
be accounted for, they say, from the
standpoint of consistency or reason.
The jail is provided with a steel cage,
arranged for Shephard and Furst, who
were hanged for the murder of Pulsi
fer in 1893, and whieh is considered
reasonably safe. This, with the extra
watch, should, it is thought, have been
proof against any such an occurrence.

does not answer his question and
leaves the matter where it stood when
he called out the militia over a week
ago.

pointed an advisory sub-committee to
look into the legal phase of the trou
ble between thp governor and
Messrs. Orr and Martin, and to report
at the next meeting. Measures to in
sure the safety of the city, should
there be another outbreak between
the warring factions, were talked
over and it was finally agreed that
everything possible should lie done to
prevent a clash. Mr. Todd, who acted

OF INTEREST TO THE POOR MAN.
A Large laereaso In the Gold Out pat of
the World.
Washington, March, 24.—A' produc
tion of gold throughout the world of
9150,000,000 for the calendar year 1893
is the latest estimate of the bureau of
the mint, and the figures which have
recently been received verify the esti
mates made early in the year. The
gold production of 1892, as revised in
the last report of the mint bureau,
was *148,861,000
The increase of *11,000,000 will be
mainly furnished by the United
State, South Africa and Russia.
Tlie figures for the Unfted States,
although not yet quite complete, in
dicate an increase of *4,000,000 over
those for 1892, the increase in South
Africa will be about *6,000,000, in Rus
sia about *500,000 and in Australia also
about *500,000. There will be small
gains in other countries, including
China and Japan, but they may be off
set by small losses elsewhere. The re
turns from Russia and Austria are not
yet complete and may show an even
larger increase than has been
estimated by Mint Director
Preston. The reports which
are constantly reaching the
treasury department indicate the pro
duction of gold is being pushed to its
maximum, and that improved pro
cesses of extracting the metal will be
used to their utmost limit to increase
the output for 1894. Gold to tlie
value of *60,00b was deposited within
a day or two at the Denver mint, and
like deposits are likely to come at
frequent intervals during the remain
der of the year.
