MP " v Caring for the Unfortunate is a Real Problem Increasing Numbers of Those Visit ing Here Seeking Work or Re lief from Their Condition From Thursdny's 7"ally With the first threats of winter that promise to bring great want and !--uffering all over the nation on the wave of unemployment, there conies the necessity of preparing to try and handle the care and shelter of the unfortunates who by the force of cir cumstances are facing extreme want. While in the smaller communities such as ours, the problem Is not as grest perhaps as in the cities where hundreds of thousands face the win ter with the prospect of cold and hunger, it is still a problem that must be met. Each night the city jail is filled to its capacity by the men wandering around over the country seeking work and who come to the shelter of the jail to seek shelter and warmth and it is ernwinr so that Officers Liher- shal and Pickrel have a real prob- lem in c aring for their guests. After the men are out in the morning they are to be found all over the streets seeking an opportunity of being fur nished with food of some kind to sus tain them for another day. sometimes with success and sometimes not. A great number of these men are not of the familiar type of wanderer who spends his time in bumming over the country, but many of these are men apparently or education and former better circumstances. With but little relief in sight in this part of the nation as to the re lief in the employment circles that will anyway cope with the situation. there is faced the necessity of com munities preparing to do what is possible to settle their own prob lems, as there are two great extremes that force the members of the human race to desperate measures hunger and cold and to thousands these two enemies are fast approaching. GOOB MORNING JUDGE There is shouting and rejoicing in the house of Democracy, the sound of the feast and the wassail bowl among the dwellers in the ilesert who at last see the dawning of the day of victory, but this is not alone over the fact that coming congress is to be of the faith of the fathers, or that Charley Bryan will adorn the state house, but that it also heralds a ins terious stranger in our midst. Judge Charles L. Graves, who in the days when he lived along the banks of the Weeping Water at Union, was a devoted follower of the G. O. P. or what have you. has come forth as a democrat, forsaking the follies of his youth for the enrollment in the ranks of the defenders of lib erty. When moving here Judge Graves was selected by Mayor Sat tler as Police Judge and confirmed by a democratic council, at last the associations of the group of good men and true has won the Judjje over, his name appearing on the ballot at the election as a democrat. He re ceived 1.0S9 votes under that title ' and he is now a full-fledged member of the party. It may have been that the republicans failed to nominate the Judge but he is now and must live up to the new standard of Jef ferson.

Ransack Offices in Building and Re ceive Sum of $2.14 for Their Trouble Pry Open Door From Friday's Dally- Some time during last night the chool buildinj in this ; hiBu school was burglarized antf the offices of the building searched and ransarkt J with the result that $2.14 in small change was taken. The party or parties made entrance to the building by prying open the south door of the building and which gave them free entrance to the build ing. The parties tommiting the crime had evidently been in search of the receipts from the art exhibit which was given there last evening. The burglar made entrance to the office of Superintendent R. E. Bailey by removing a window in the hall ;.: d which permitted the robber to get into this room and where the desks in the office were ransacked, the drawers being pulled out and the contents scattered over the floor and from the desk the sum of ?2.j4 was taken from the envelopes that hud been turned in by pupils on various activities. The other offices including that of Principal R. Poster ?atterson wa also entered and the n'ents of the desks scattered around over the floors of the various offices. The burglar had tampered with the lock of the vault but without suc cess and the burglar made no attempt to break into the vault after being unable to work the combination of the vault. Following the exhibit last night Miss Wilhelmina Henrichsen, sec retary to the superintendent had placed the door deceipts in the vault and it was saved from the hands of the burglar. The burglary was discovered this morning when the building was opened for the daily session of the school and the matter at once re ported to the authorities who are now working on the case.

Eugene Kirk patrick Stages Jail Escape prisoner Serving Six Months Sen- . - - , , . , uce ivi auiu xneii. xsigs xxiru North Wall of Jail From Friday's Daily Sometime between midnight and 3 o'clock this morning. Eugene Kirk pa trick, 30. serving a six months sen tence in the Cass county jail for auto theft, made his escape from the jail and is still at large altho authorities in neighboring counties as well as Sheriff Bert Reed, are searching for the missing prisoner. The man made his escape by dig ging through the wall or. the north side of the jail building, removing the mortar from the bricks of the wall by the means of a large iron screwdriver, the possession of which is a mystery to the sheriff as the man was searched when placed in jail and such an article was not known to be in the building. This circumstance leads to the belief that the man may have had some outside assistance in the escape. There were four other prisoners confined in the jail but who made no .Lttempt to escape and also deny any knowledge of the plans of Kirkpat rick until they disco-ered the hole in the jail wall and the prisoner gone, as well as denying knowing of the tool used in digging through the wall. Kirkpatrick was arrested on Sep tember 20th following his stealing of the auto of Frank Mullen from the streets of Plattsniouth and was ap prehended at Naeves Park north of this city, a few hours after the steal ing of the car when he was caught entering the car after the close of the dance. He pled guilty to the charge and was given a sentence of six months in jail for the offense on September 24th by District Judge James T. Begley. The former home of the prisoner was at Webster City, Iowa, and he had recently received letters from his relatives urging his return home and it is thought that he will attempt to make his way to his former home in Iowa if he is not caught before getting out of this state. In the past there have been several attempts made to dig out of the jail which were discovered by Sheriff Reed before the purpose of the pris oner.; was accomplished.
