History of Nebraska Compiled in 1882 Gives an Interesting Account of Two Previous Attempts to Break Out. T\vo previous attempts have been made to break through the walls and guard lines of the penitentiary by des perate criminals previous to the trag edy of Thursday , according to the fol lowing : About 4 o'clock p. m. , of January 17 , 1S75 , the only notable mutiny broke out among the prisoners. The insti gator of the trouble was McWaters , who succeeded in enlisting Bohanan , Worrell , McKenna , C. W. Thompson , Gerry , and Elder. Just before the afternoon round of the deputy warden , C. J. Nobes , they surprised atnd over powered the guard in the workshop. On entering the shop , not knowing the state of affairs , the deputy too was seized , overcome , bound , robbed of his keys and stripped of his clothes , Mc Waters putting them on. Nobes was left in care of three of the mutineers , while the others , armed with iron crowbars , started for the main build ing. Blacking the sides of his face to represent the warden's whiskers , Mc Waters marched the four up to the main door in usual prison regulation style , so that the door guard thought it was the warden with a file of men and opened the door ; as soon as the door swung open , they rushed up stairs , making the guard a prisoner , and proceeded to break open the arm ory and seize guns and ammunition. Fortunately , the deputy succeeded in loosening his cords unobserved by his captors , and suddenly seizing a hoe that lay within reach , by a few rapid blows , compelled the .convicts to flee , whereupon they joined their com panions in the main building. Mr. Woodhurst , the warden , and two of the guards were in the hands of the mutineers. As the people from Lincoln began to arrive and approached preached within gunshot of the north windows , Mrs. Woodhurst appeared at one of them and waved her hand , cry ing out , "Keep back ! Keep back ! " Just before dark she appeared at an other window , in the chapel near the main entrance , and said that the plan of the mutineers was to put the im prisoned guards before them and make a rush to escape through the beard wall by the south gate. This information was doubtless the means of frustrating their plan , as it was not carried out. In both instances she quickly disappeared from the window by orders from her captors. These communications contained no solici tude for herself , but concerned only the safety of others and the responsi bility she felt for the institution with which she was associated. A little before 1 o'clock the next morning. Company I , Twenty-third United States infantry , arrived from Omaha , under the command of Major Randall , and at once proceeded to guard the walls until morning. Grave fears held possession of the citizens until 6 o'clock , when to the intense joy and relief of all , Mrs. Woodhurst again appeared at the \ I southwest window of the chapel. ; j i Especially comforting was her appearance - ! pearance to her husband and two sons , I who were out of the building at the commencement , and consequently I could not go to her relief. She as sured them of her safety , and that she i thought the mutineers would soon sur- render to her , but to her alone. The troops , who were nearly all Indian fighters and celebrated shots in the army , in the meantime were ) making preparations to assault the building from the south , force open the door and face the conspirators in their fort , compelling submission at all hazards. But before the attempt was made , McWaters and the others ' laid aside their arms and agreed to j surrender to Mrs. Woodhurst , stipu lating against excessive punishment. It was a grand sight to see those des perate men , but a few hours before determined to risk life against the chance of obtaining their liberty , and willing to take a hundred lives if need be to secure a few more years of their wild liberty , now led by a single woman , who , while at their mercy , had so fearlessly demanded their sub mission. But without the least ap pearance of self-consciousness the brave woman delivered modestly her prisoners into the hands of the law. Upon the arrival of Mr. Woodhurst , McWaters said : "Warden , there is no use of mincing matters. You are an old prison officer and know how it is , I have no ill will towards you. You have treated me well , but I am like other men I want my liberty ; I thought I saw a chance to gain it and I improved it. I got the better of you at first , but the fates are against me. I lost my chance ; you have now the advantage and Igive up and sur render. " Thus ended one of the most excit ing incidents in the history of the prison and a revolt , which for bold ness of design and persistent effort in attempting its execution , has but few parallels in the annals of prison history. The story of the heroism of Mrs. Mary A. Woodhurst is worthy of preservation. Left alone during that night of alarm , she manifested that rare quality of command which needs but to be asserted to be obeyed. Not only did she protect herself from harm , she even forced into subjection to her will the desperate band of in surrectionary men , who feared her more than they did the officers , and who surrendered to her , while they still defied the representatives of the law. law.At At the time of the revolt , Mrs. Woodhurst was in her apartments , which were separated by but one room from the warden's office. When the convicts hurried to the armory , Mrs. Woodhurst's attention was at tracted by the confusion. Hastening to the office , she realized that a revolt had taken place , and that the arms of the prison were in the hands of re bellious prisoners. As she appeared at the door , she was decisively but courteously directed to return to her own apartments. She at once repaired to a room opening from her own , with a north ern exposure , from which she could see the northwest turret. She called to the guard and directed him to alarm the guards in the other turrets , who alone were then free , and pre vent them from coming to the build ing , as one of them was then doing. This timely movement , besides , doubt less , saving the life of the guard , pre cipitated matters , and materially changed the situation by the covering of the door with the carbines of the guards , thus defeating the plans of McWaters. This illustrates a pres ence of mind seldom met with in men , and more rarely in the gentler sex , whose lives are such as generally ex clude them from startling situations. Yet it is the more commendable for its bravery. They were desperate men , and were determined to achieve their liberty at all hazards. But she faltered not , even while she realized that they had taken their lives in their hands to defeat the course of law. law.Mrs. Mrs. Woodhurst had. on two previ ous occasions , faced mobs in her hus band's absence that were intent upon lynching prisoners in his charge , and in one instance saved the prisoner's life. The mobs in both cases were defeated by her prompt and fearless defense. In spite of this determina tion and force of character , she has nothing of masculinity about her , but has the grace of a lady , the dignity of a matron and the kindness of a woman. The Second Revolt. On May 27 , 1875 , a second revolt headed by Convict McWaters was at tempted after a note from one pris oner to another , giving details of the plan had been dropped and fallen into the hands of a guard. McWaters , again a leader in the insurrection , was killed by Guard Hugh Blaney. The letter which had been dropped stated that the object was to first kill the keeper of the wash house , then the deputy warden , after which there was to be a general rush to gain pos session of the prison. Eight men had agreed to take part in the plan and it was thought that eight more would assist. On the date named in the letter the prisoners were kept in the cells , but the following day they were marched out to work in their regular formation as though nothing was suspected. The guards , however , had been noti fied to keep close watch and to shoot at the first sign of mutiny. John Geary and McWaters had asked per mission to leave the main body of prisoners at work in the yard and met in the entrance way to the yard. Mc Waters made a threatening remark , but whether it was addressed to Guard Blaney , who was standing near , or to the other convict was not certain. Blaney , however , took no chances and raised his gun ready for an emerg ency. * McWaters picked up two stones , but before he could throw at the guard , Blaney fired , hitting the convict in the jaw , the bullet taking a diagonal course down through the body. Mc Waters did not speak again. He reeled a few feet away and dropped dead. Geary , who was making some demonstration , was easily quieted by the guard , who pointed the gun toward him. Blaney gave the general alarm by ringing the big bell in the yard , and within a few moments all the officers were out. The prompt action of the guard and other officers quieted the mutiny and although the men were kept at work there was no further disturbance. They were marched back to their cells within a few minutes and placed under the watch of two extra guards. R. W. Hyers Temporary Warden. Governor Aldrich has appointed ex- Warden R. W. Hyers warden of the penitentiary to serve temporarily. The appointment was made by tele phone by the governor , who was snow bound at Auburn. Mr. Hyers is now deputy state game warden. He was warden of the penitentiary many years ago and thoroughly understands the workings of a large prison. Steward Robb requested the gover nor to relieve him of the duties of act ing warden because he has enough work as steward to occupy his entire time. It is understood that Mr. Hyerg will remain in charge of the peniten tiary only for a short time. Count Francis Luetzow , the Bohe mian nobleman who visited Lincolft two weeks ago , has presented Chan cellor Avery of the state university with two books , "History of Bohemia , " written by himself , and an English translation of Komensky's "The Laby rinth of the World , " the count being the translator.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl \vas about eight months old , she was taken with a very irritating breaking out , which came on , her face , neck and back. When she first came down with it , it came in. little watery-like festers under her eyes , and on her chin , then after a few days it would dry down in scaly , white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema , which h * > said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave m © and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura and pur- ceased some Cuticura Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did as I fftund directions in the Cuticura Booklet - lot , and when she was one year old , she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months , and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

His Only Complaint. , Senator Beveridge , at a luncheon in New York , was talking about the child labor problem. ' Children are so plucky and so cheerful , " he said , "we don't realize how horribly overworked they are till it's too late till their bodies and minds are stunted irretrievably. "I was once talking to a tiny errand boy at the height of the Christmas shopping season. He was working , I knew , 17 hours a day. As he walked sturdily along with a mountain of par cels piled on his thin , narrow shoul ders , I said to him : " 'Do you like your job ? ' ' "Yes , sir , ' he said ; 'I like it fine , Only ' "Here he grinned up at me gayly from beneath his load. " 'Only I'm afraid I'm doing an. au tomobile truck out of a job.
