Heaver City Ti ibnue. of news on last Saturday morning be tween one and two o'clock that the prisoners who were ia the custody of Sheriff Kunchev and his deputies had escaped near the south approach of tho bridge. Despite the lateness of the hour quite a number of men were still up and others were awakened and deputized as searching patties and it was uot long before several buggy loads of armed men were on the sceno. The escape was one of those peculiar ones which seldom occur but once in the life of a sheriff after ho has had his lirst experience aud ono in which very littlo blame cau be attached to the principals. As has been heretofore chronicled in this paper the prisoners had been cap. turcd with the goods stolen from Fill ler & Good of Cowlos ami upon failing to return ns ugrecd had been placed in the Bcllville jail until the slieritV could obtain requisition papers. Tlicso he afterward secured, camo to Bcllville, secured his prisoners and went from there to Lebanon, where accompanied by Fred Good and R. L. Adamsuu and a driver they left for this city. The rig was a three seated open conveyance and tho sheriff and Adamson sat in the rear scat, tho prisoners handcuffed to gether occupied the middle seat and Good and the driver were in front.- No one bad they seen the party start out f rolatabauon would haveexpreased any doOt but what the prisoners would have been safely lodged behind tho bars of the Red Cloud Jail, The ottlcers were all able bodied men and tho sheriff had on more occasions than one demonstrated that he had the nerve and coolness to net in a case of emergency. The prisoners were band culled together, aud therein lies the reason of their escape. The vigilance of an ofllcer Is nlways relaxed when he has every reason to believe that his prisoners, are secure. It is a hard mat ter for two prisoners to jump from a buggy ami run when they uro coupled together by hand cuffs. The cull's had lieiiu inspected .several tunes during the trip aud had been found to be all right, but lo, the prisoners jump from the buggy, ono on one sulu and the other mi the other and ran for the un derbrush. Tho olllcers were im mediately on their feet and sent the crntents of their guns aftertbe retreat lug men but they reached tho tiuder brush in safety. A search was im mediately made but they could not be found. As soon as the reinforcements arrived from town they were sent up and down the river on both sidea to hunt for the escaped men and to notify the farmers to look out for them. When daylight came others joined in search on all roads leading nouth but no clue was obtained. It being learned that Dr. Crawford of Beatrice had several blood hounds be was telegraphed for aud arrived on the Suuday evening train with two of the animals. They were placed on the trail that night and went to within several miles from Bellairo when the chase was given up and the searchers returned to this city Monday evening. Much comment has been had in re gard to the merits of the dogs some contending that they were uot blood hounds aud some that they were all right. During the chase oae of thorn seared up a jack rabbit aud followed forgetting for the time that he was a man hunter. This incident knocked t4ie faith of many aud uutil the Dr. dote follow up a trail and catch some body It will remain so. Tho third quarterly meeting of the Red Cloud Circuit will be held at the Ash creek church on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, May 20th, and UOth. The presiding elder, W. U.I Alexander, will preach Saturday even-' ingutS o'clock and Sunday morning at 11 o'clock followed by communion I Commissioner's Froooodings.

Stick no y Is one. A letter from him says; "Having taken Paine's celery com pound for tlui last few weeks, I h.ivo found It a perfect spring remedy, mid been much beuelltted by It." Spring is the decisive time iu the life of ovcry person out or health. It Is an assured fact that stubborn disorders become quickly curablu in the spring. TliN is especially true of such persis tent troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia and obstinate kidney diseases. No ono, sick or well, cun afford to "try" uncertain remedies in spring, or any other time. The dishonesty of many self-named spring remedies becomes startlingly ap parent when their results are ooni pared with the results obtained from this ac curate, scientific preparation, Paine's celery compound. Tho general prac tice among carelul people of purifying the blood and toning up the nerves in I the spring has tempted scores of in competent persons, schemers and In sharp contrast with tlioio risky preparations Is the one valuable spring remedy worthy the name in the esti mation of competent persons and medi cal authorities, Paiuo's celery compound. Tuis widely praised and widely prized remedy really docs make peo ple vtjl. It Is as far removed, in the minds of judicious men and wonioa, from all other remedies purporting to nucomplish equal results, as the north is from tlie south. Clear-beaded pro fessional men, business men and the gtttiit body of hard working brain workers all over the country believe heartily, and with good reason, in Palm 'a celery compound. Palue's celery compound gets its staunchest endorsement from physi cians and scientific men who were led to verify Its claims because of its dis coverer, the distinguished Dartmouth college professor, Kdward E. Phelpfc, M. D.,LL. I). Nothing will pull a tired-out, nervous, "run-down" man or women ontof tho quagmire of sinking health ho promptly and firmly as Paine's celery compound. l- .!!.-. ...I .i vmmi. ..r qua. riy coherence wiir(.oll,t!l) Hellz for t,ie(!B,e tt,i custody be held at my residence in Red Cloud )f u palipel., Thu cdltlon8 on Saturday a ternoon of May 2th, at tbatJ(ju ,0i, IMV. is to take care So'cloek, Lot them bo a full atton.1 dance, and full report as far as uossi- r T7.
