ordinance forbidding the running
of saloons on Sunday shall be rig

Theatre-gorrn will have an oppor
tunity Monday evening, December
14, of witneMring one of the neatcht
and bent things in the way of legit
imate spectacular drama that ban
as yet been presented in I'latta
mouth. Mr. John Palmer's "Lust
Day- of Pompeii," which will be
presented at the Waterman opera
!imi!-e on above date, must uot be
confounded with Mr. Pain's spec
tacle of the same name, as they are
entirely different. Mr. Palmer's
flay is a stage dramatisation of Sir
E. Hulwer Lytton's delightful
romance, "Last Days of Pompeii,"
and is to be presented by a strong
company of dramatic artists, with
all the scenery, mechanical effects,
tage effects, etc., that are needed to
picture th st.'rring scenes of the
famous story.
LmhI Day of Hompeli.
A new treatment of an old th"tne
was olfered to the patrons of the
Grand last evening, in the pro
duction of John Palmer's stage
version of ISulwer's beautiful story,
"Last Days of Pompeii." The
dramatization has been well done
and the classic story makes an iui
presxive play. Appropriate scenery
and elegant costumes have been
provided. Mr. Palmer, whondaptcd
the play to the stage, appears as
Arbaces, the Kgyplian, and is
irong in the part. The play is
interesting ami picturesque
throughout. Topeka (Kan.) Daily

And in one tepee I fonnd a young and
rather pretty girl wearinga suit of bnck

at a matter of fact, she passed me out of
doors, aud with true feminine art man
aged to allow her blanket to fall open
just the instant tt took to disclose tne
precious dress beneath it
1 asked to be taken into the tent to
which sho went, and there, at the inter
preter's request, she threw off her
blanket, and stood, with a little display
of honest coyness, dressed like the tradi
tional and the theatrical belle of ths
wilderness. The soft yellowish leather,
the heavy fringe npon the arms, seams,
and edtfes of the garment, her beautiful
beaded leggings and moccasins, formed
so many parts of a very charming pic
ture. For herself, her face was comely,
but her figure was an Indian's. The
fignre of the typical Indian woman
shows few graceful curves.
The reader will inquire whether there
was any real beauty, as we judge it,
among these Iudians. Yes, there was;
at least there were good looks if there
was not beauty. I saw perhaps a dozen
fine looking men. half a dozen attractive
girls, and something like a hundred
children of varying degrees of comeli
ness pleasing, pretty or beautiful. I
bad some jolly romps with the children,
and so crime to know that their faces
and arms met my touch with the suviutu

this; indeed, the skin of the boys was of

and "jimmy" on the occasion of his sen-
sattonal escatw from Joliet For ovi r
two years Paddock has schemed an 1
worked to effect his purpose. He wm
sent np from Rock Island on an cunt
year term, and was placed at work iu
one of the shoeshops, where during
every minute of the working hours , i
the shop he was constantly unlei i ;
watchful eye of his keeper. There v..-,
not the least chance to plan an
from the shop. But, not daunt' I ; t
this, he determined to find some ne ui.
of getting out of his cell at nirhL

them front the guard, Umk tie-in to l i
cell, where, by umuif uu mo a fl!e, I..:
converted the other into a fine ste I -aw
Then by slow degrees he collated a I ir.-e
amount of shoe thread from the Mm
shop, with which h braided the ro;n.
All this reipiired months of steal' lif:l
work, but iu the course of tims b had a
slendi-r, strong rope, fully fifty feet In
length. This he kept carefully hidden in
the mattress of his issl.
Next he began sawing the bars on hi
door a little at a tune. Night after nigl.t
be watched for the passing of the guard,
and as soon as tiiat official was beyond
bearing distance he would cut a little
and then fill up the space with black
wax, which he had also obtained from
the shoeshop, so that the pryiK ''"
the guard could not discover by daylight
that the dsir had beeu tamTed with.

He could now (jet ontside of his cell,
but the hardest work was yet to Is-done.
His cell was located liich np on tlis
third tier, some sixty feet away from
the tower disjr through which he hoped
to make his way. Watching his chance,
when the night guard was on the op
posite side of the block of cells, he re
moved the bar from his door, crawled
throngh the opening, and with all the
agility of a cat climbed down the railing
from tier to tier, ran across the corridor
to the tower door, and, with a piece of
sins-maker's wax, took an impression of
the lock, regaining hi cell before the
guard appeared on to.it side of the cell
house. By careful working he made a key out
of lead pis; that a plumber had drop;-d
near his workbench in the shop. Sev
eral trij from bis cell to the tower door
were made during the next fw week
Is-f i .re his key would fit, and then it
took him some time to get together
enough material to make a "dummy" to
pnt in his bed to prevent his alisence
being discovered before ho could get be
yond reach. On the very day that he
intended to make his cM-ape, while re
turning from tiie shop to his c !!, ha
slipped r.nu an icy stairway anil badly
sprained i., unl.'le. This almost dis
cour;rg'd him. His months of anxious
toil had come to naught His scheme
would surely 1 e discovered. After toree
Weeks in the pii.-oli hoepilal he was s- tit
hark to wotk, and when he reached his
rell that eening was overjoyed to find
that his rojie, key ami "dummy" were
still safely concealed in the mattters,
and everything as he had left It.

The night came, however, aud alonif

lipled down upon the prison lawn and
hurried away to the wood that line the
bluffs east of the prison. Ib-ru he found
a thicket or underbrush where he lay
bid all that day, and when darkness
came again he got away.
His alsence was not discovered from
prison until the guard went to unlock
his cell in the Morning. Thia was with
out doubt the cleverest escape that had
taken place at Joliet, and stamped Pad
dock as a genius. Extraordinary efforts
were made for his recapture. Largo
rewards were offered, and his descrip
tion was cast broadcast. A year later it
was discovered that Paddock bail a mis
tress in Chicago. A watch was set on
her house for several weeks, and sure
enough one night Paddock put in an ap
pearance. Captain Simon 0'Doui.ell, of
the police department, had the place
surrounded aud the daring convict was
again in the toils. He was taken back
to his old quarters at the prison, where
he finally completed bis sentence, not,
however, until he had tried several other
schemes for escape, but he was too
closely watched to ever again fticceed.
