WARDEN’S WIFE AIDS JAILBIRDS Two flen Under Death .Sentence Gain Liberty. GUARDS EASILY VANQUISHED After the Criminals Were Safely Away Woman Packs Up Her Duds and Follows. Edward and John Biddle, awaiting execution in the Pittsburg, Pa., jail for the murder of Grocer Thomas D. Kahney, of Mount Washington, whose home they were burglarizing on tha morning of April 12, last, overpow¬ ered the guards at 4 o'clock Thursday morning and escaped. Both prisoners had been provided ■Kith saws with which to cut the bars in their cells and were ready at any moment to make an opening suffi¬ ciently large to pass through. The prisoners occupied adjoining cells on the second range. They had evidently been prepar¬ ing for escape for some time, and had assistance from the outside, as both were armed with revolvers. Shortly before 4 o’clock one of the Biddles called to James McGear y, who had charge of the outside gates, and asked for some cramp medicine in a f urry, saying his brother was danger¬ ously sick. McGeary hastened to the cell with ^he medicine, when John Biddle sprang through the opening in the cell and, seizing the guard around the waist, hurled him over the railing to the stone floor beneath, a distance of six¬ teen feet. Edward Biddle joined his brother immediately and both, with drawn re¬ volvers, hurried to the first floor, where they met Guard Reynolds and shot him. There were but three men on duty and the third was on one of the upper ranges. He was ordered down at the point e!f the revolvers, and the three guards were put in the dungeon. The keys were taken from Keeper McGeary and the two desperate pris¬ oners trad :a clear field.. The only per¬ sons who witnessed the escape were prisoners who could riot interfere or give an alarm. * The Biddles went to the wardrobe, where the guards kept their clothing, and each put on a flew suit. They then unlocked the outside gates and passed out into Ross street. The escape was not discovered un¬ til the daylight guards went on duty at, G o’clock. They were informed by prisoners where the night guards had been put, and they were soon releas¬ ed from the dungeon and cent to the homeopathic hospital. / Freed By Woman’s Love. The escape of the Biddles haj? been explained. Warden Peter K. Soffel has authorized its publication. « It is the allegation that his wife is . responsible for the furnishing of the revolvers and saws to the Biddles, which enabled them fo escape. In her infatuation for the handsome, desper^ ado, Edward Biddle, it. is alleged, that she has left her husband and her four children, and it is supposed is to meet the eonvicts at a place agreed upon. • The warden made inquiries at the homes of all of his wife’s relatives, and was unable to find any trace of her. An investigation disclosed the fact tha,t she had taken all of her best clothes with her. The warden’s over¬ coat is also missing. It is reported that the Biddles took a train at the Fourth Avenue station, of the Pan Handle railroad, which is -within a block of the jail, and left fort the west. The county commissioners met in the afternoon and offered a reward of $5, 000 for the recapture of the murderers.

Men of superior men¬ tal endowments ought not to keep their meditations selfishly to them¬ selves. Mr. Eraffowrest—I have, indeed, thought of that, but my fear is that, since the world is so full of books, it would be found when my work was published that 1 had unknowingly but gone over the ground already gone over by others, and so I would be criticised for plagiarism.—Omaha World-Herald.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Rife out of doors and out of .the games which they play and the enjoy¬ ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, conies the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to he wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians kind parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxatiye, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. - Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination oft the laxative principles'of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method cf manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal¬ ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
