CONVICT DIES WITH SECRET Wounded Frisoner at Jefferson Cily Befoiei to Peach on Asiooiatea, PLOT BELIEVED TO BE EXTENSIVE Official of Penitentiary Fear that PHasmore Have .trial and Explo sives for Another Attempt for Idnertj. JEFTERBON CITT, Mo.. Nov. a.-Con-vlrt Charles Blaka of Grundy county, who ' shot during th mutiny at the stale penitentiary yesterday, died during tha nlgtjt. Writhing on his death bed, Blaks would only moan: "You don't know ua; I'll narer tell." and that Is all the authori ties have learned so far in their efforts to fix the responsibility for the outbreak. Governor Folk sat by tha side of the dying convict and endeavored to persuade Mm to make a full confession. He was followed by officiate of the penitentiary and for several hours they pleaded, threat ened or offered Immunity for a, confession nf the details of the desperate plot to es cape, but Blake steadfastly refused to di vulge any Information and finally death sealed his Una. His death made the third resulting from the mutiny. Prison Officials K. A. Allison and John W. Clay having been killed at the prison gate at the beginning of the out break. The wounded men Deputy Warden See, Guard J. K. Toung, Convicts Harry Vaughn and Charles Raymond all will re cover. Official Connnlvanpe Feared. Connivance and assistance by some at tache of the prison is strongly suspected snd the Investigation that Is being made will be of the most rigid character. This much has been discovered, that forty-five caliber revolvers, 100 cartridges and two hslf-plnt bottles of nitroglycerine were se cured by the leaders of the mutiny. The prison authorities are Inclined to believe that the mutiny had been arranged for a much larger scale, snd that it was to have been a general uprising, but for some reason the plans did not fully carry out. This leads to general uneasiness within the prison, as It is feared that a large number of the convicts are secretly armed wtih weapons and explosives and more trouble may follow when the present excitement has died down. It Is known that for a long time the prison officers have feared an outbreak, although the reason for this fear could n,ot be centered upon any definite occurrence or attributed to any set of prisoners. Marder Charged. The Investigation Into the mutiny Is being conducted by Governor Folk and Warden Hall, the latter having been summoned back from his trip to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he was taking federal prisoners to the government prison. No one will be admitted to the penal Institution during the investigation excepting ' those connected with the Inquisition. The convicts Impli cated refUNe to devulge any Information as to how they secured their weapons. Prosecuting Attorney M. P. Belch today filed Informations In the circuit court to day, charging convicts Harry Vaughn, Charles Raymond and George Ryan with having murdered Guard E. Allison. It la considered probable they will be placed on trial next week, and efforts will be made to push tha trial to a speedy termination. Grand Jars- to Investigate. At the request of Warden Hall of the penitentiary Judge Martin of the circuit court called a special grand jury to con vene January 2, 1906, to Investigate into the outbreak of convicts at the prison yes- tcrday. This action was brought about by ad' verse criticism of tho warden, which has developed to the extent of suggesting that he was lux In the enforcement of prison discipline and that he should resign. Warden Hall proposes that the fullest In vestigation possible be made Into the mat ter and therefore aBked for a grand jury Investigation. The body of Guard Ephriam Allison was taken to Clinton today for Interment. The funeral of Guard John Clay.wUl be held here tomorrow and Governor Folk will participate In the ceremonies as a speaker. Warden Hall, when asked tonight regard ing charges that he was lax In discipline, which caused the mutiny Friday afternoon, said: "There Is no truth, so far as I know, regarding laxity of discipline. Further than this I have nothing to say." Tonight Warden Hall gave out a long statement, the result of his Investigation, In which he explained that for a long time it has been the custom at 'the penitentiary when a convict completes his task he la allowed to go to his cell unattended. The convicts met at a prearranged time and made their fight for freedom with weapons - and explosives given them by some un ; known parties. Warden Hull is confident that within the next few days he will un ravel tola mystery. ARREST IN REESE MURDER Joseph Brown, a. Former Convict, Charged by Police with Killing; Chicago Woman.

JUST A MODERN PARADISE Western cbraska Riding; on the High Waves, of Prosperity, Says Sidney Man. "Talk about your country, there la noth ing that beats western Nebraska." said Joseph Oberfelder . of Bldncy at the Pax ton. "The facts are. all kinds of grain have been prolific. There Is lots of corn eleven and one-half feet high of the good, hard variety. Spring and fall wheat has gone twenty-five to thirty bushels to. the acre; rye from twenty-five to forty; oats as high as seventy, and barley front thirty to fifty. Potatoes yield from 100 to 300 bushels to the acre. A surprising thing about all of this Is, these great crops have been raised on lands that practically cost the settlers nothing."

I'lince Kuhtu Kalanianolo of li'iwuil, republican delcgulo to the Fifty-ninth congress, urrlved today from Honolulu liy thu steamer Auranui enroute to WashliiKton. l'rlnce Kulaniunolc said the lubor ques tion .now confronting llawuii is most se rious. The sugar plantations were tho chief industries. In fact the mainstay of the inlands. Before annexation they de pended on Asiatic, mostly Chinese labor, and now that Chinese are not admitted the scarcity of labor has become a serious question. Japanese were allowed to land, but were unstable and unsatisfactory. Por tuguese and (iallclans have been tried, though they did not meet the requirements. Prince Kulanlanole suld he favored the admission of a certain number of Chinese under contract similar to the British sys tem In the Transvaal, although he did not know how tho I'nlted States would favor such a scheme. Something has to be done. as the planters are suffering from the lack of labor. Hawaii also suffered by the operation of the I'nited Stales shipping laws, said the prince. He did not think there was suf ficient American shipping to fill the require ments, and the operation of the shipping laws worked a hardship and caused a loss. He thought It unjust, hut It had to be borne as the Inlands are now part of the United States. Many people were getting much money from this traffic. The Japanese who came to Huwftii seemed to lie the worst kind. The prince Baid his election had been contested by the defeated candi date, Iawakcu, who claimed the election was Illegal. He said he would easily show its legality. CEASELESS HARVEST OF CORN Whole Families Work "even Days a Week to (.nthfr Hiimper Crops. Between S5 and 90 per cent of the corn of Nebraska l husked, according to tha reports brought to Charles L. Pickens by traveling salesmen of the Paxlon & (ial- lagher grocery house. "Our men tell us the farmers are working from early morning until late at night and even Sundays, to get their corn In crib before bad wer.ther sets in," said Mr Pickens "Even the boys and girls are In the fields, and In some sections the school bouses have been closed. This haste to gather the crop is all very well, as lots of the corn is down and wet weather has dam aged it. "On account of the fact that the farm ers will not slop work, trade, while good, is not so large as It might be under other conditions The wlsilesulera are not com plaining, however, for they want to see the farmers get their t orn hnsk'd " Latest Promise of t ars.

MAN BURIED AND YET LIVES Kntomhed In Ten Tons of and Lives to Tell About It. Cinders J. McKeyhlll, an employe at the street railway's power house at Fourth and Jones street, is a man of experience, rare if not extensive. Mr. McKeyhlll. though not In any sense a "dead one," In the ac cepted spirit of that term, has been burled and hns risen to tell the story. That Is he could tell It If he were u mind to, hut he Isn't preaching it from the house tops. Friday, In the course of his regular day's work, Mr. McKeyhlll was tinrhocklng or nnrhecking. or in some way or other try ing to let out a big receptacle or chute n volume of cinders, about ten tons, more or less. By some hiwk or crook Mr. Mc Keyhlll managed to get his body In front of the cinders and that was the last seen of him for an hour and a half. He wus entombed, clear out of sight. The entire force at the plant started In trying to dig out their fellow; workman, hoping to be able to resurrect his body, though not expecting It to be alive. At the end of an hour and a half of hard labor here came McKeyhlll to the sur face, alive and doing well. Neither he nor any one else pretends to explain how he managed to stay alive, but he Is a living testimony against the assertion that he Is dead. And the man was not even seriously Injured. The cinders not being as cold as they might have been, left a little mark here and there on his face and hands, but otherwise he got off well.
