Of poor but honest parents, who left him an orphan when quite young, Jack fol lowed a career of crime that was as remarkable as it was daring, and fin ally wound up suspended upon a gib bet at Tyburn at the youthful age of twenty-two. The first theft of this "prince of thieves" was that of two spoons, and shortly afterwards, by his own con fession, "I fell to robbing almost ev eryone that stood in my way." In April 1724, owing to the treachery of his brother, and other associates, he was committed to St. Giles' Roundhouse, from which he skillfully made his es cape. Like adventures of unparalleled cool ness and imprudence followed in quick succession, and on Whit Monday, May 25, 1724, he broke out of New Prison. His escape involved getting rid of new irons, cutting through a double grill of new oaken and Iron bars, descending twenty-five feet by means of a sheet and blanket, and then scaling a wall of twenty-two feet, which he surmount ed with a companion on his back. Shortly he was again apprehended through the betrayal of the celebrated receiver of stolen goods, Jonathan Wild. Sheppard was tried at the Old Bai ley before Justice Blackerby, on August 14, 1724, and condemned to death. He was tried upon three Indictments. Sev eral other prosecutions might have been brought against him, but this was thought sufficient to rid the world of so capital an offender. He begged earnestly for transportation to the most extreme part of his majesty's do minions. He pleaded youth and Ignor ance as the motive that had precipitat ed him Into the guilt; but the court, deaf to his importunities, gave him nc satisfactory answer. The date set for his execution was Friday, September 4. Only several days before that date he was again able to escape, and was not recaptured until September 10, when he was taken back to his cell ami chained down to the floor. This they felt was not suffi ciently secure, so he was taken to a dungeon known as the Castle, where he was chained to heavy Iron bars. Now l(j was thought that he was be yond all possible chance of escape. On the 16th of October, however, when his keeper visited his cell he beheld al most a cartload of bricks and rubbish about the room and the prisoner gone. Six great doors, one of which had not been open for seven years, were forced and found ajar, he having passed di rectly to the street by the main hall and stairway. He wrote his Jailers a polite letter and at once took to stealing again. He was apprehended on November 10 and was at once carried to the Kings Bench Bar at Westminster, where the record of his conviction was read and it was ordered that he be hung on Monday. The day came, but Jack had still some hopes of eluding justice. One of his projects was that as soon as his body was cut down his companion should take it and put It in a warm bed and bleed him, for he believed if such care were taken they might bring him to life again. Sheppard was hanged at Tyburn on Monday, November 16, 1724. He died with great difficulty. When he had hung about a quarter of an hour his body was cut down by a soldier and de livered to his friends, hut instead of carrying out his suggestions they bur ied him. Sheppard was for a considerable time the common subject of conversa tion. Several different histories of his life were published at the time. His portrait was painted by no less a dis tinguished artist than Sir James Thomhill: poems were written about him, and his adventures were dramat ized, and for some time he became the leading Bubject of many pulpit invec tives.

Notwithstanding that there is already a sum of near ly $80,000,000 invested in Swiss prl vate and narrow-guage railways which do not pay any dividends, the government is 'constantly granting concessions for the building of new lines not because these are wanted for purposes of general utility, but because a mania for mountain rail ways seems to be passing over The latest concession to be grant ed is for a line from Kandersteg to the little mountain lake, 5,185 feet altitude, known as the Oeschinen- see. This pygmy line, which will be less than two miles long, will cost it is estimated $340,000 to build, or an average of more than $170,000 per mile. Of the other concessions for new mountain railways 'granted, at though no attempt has yet been made to work them, no capital being forth coming, one Is for a line from Grln- dewald . to the Faulhorn; another from Grlndenwald over the Great Scheldegg io Neiringen; another from tSalden In the Zermatt Valley, to Saas Fee; and, quite recently one from Frutigea to Adelboden. The very Important Issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign In favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly Instituted. This. like aJI other important ques tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons. The Republican has decided to pro vide for a reasonable discussion of this Issue In Its pages, allowing to each aide at least a half column daily for signed articles, for which. there will be no charge; No anonymous article wtU be published. It is only stipulated that the com- nunlcations for and against prohibi tion be Just and fair and that In ne case shall there be any wild and ex travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for gcod order. It is suggested by The Republican that either side, desiring to avail It self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the Issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement Is ne cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines. No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted. BOARDING THE WATER WAGON The ostracism of the whisky drug gist really did more to pulverize the rum power in Kansas than any other one act of the quarter centuiy. Every Kansas county had in jail at least one genial and urbane pill-pounder who was the life of the company at the card club. The state cinched its victory by passing a supplemental law absolutely prohibiting the sale of liquor of any kind for any purpose medicinal, religious or mechanical. That law is enforced wherever the prohibitory law is enforced at all. The prohibitory law is now en forced in a hundred of the one hun dred and five counties ' of the state, and it is enforced as rigidly as any law on the statute book. So rigidly is the prohibitory law enforced that juries in those hundred counties con vict men on evidence for violating this law who are known as second offenders and whose conviction sends them not merely to jail but to the penitentiary. The battle is won. The wet-and- dry Issue now rarely comes Into a contest in a Kansas town or county election. Formerly, in the days of the eighties, the suspicion that a man consorted with the prohibition ists handicapped a candidate. He had to explain that he ran with the decent element merely for the pur pose of deluding the good people out of their votes. Now even the faint suspicion that a man has a friend who drinks, or a brother-in-law who Is married to the third cousin of a man who kept a drug store in the nineties. Is a, load that few men In politics can carry successfully. Anyone who wants to win makes votes by abusing the whisky crowd. It is as safe a political diversion as lighting into the Turks, and infinitely safer in Kansas than going after Wall street; for the Great Red Dra gon has. some friends, but no one de fends the Rum Fiend. He is para lyzed beyond recovery. His tail quit wiggling at sundown away back in 1909. In one hundred counties Kansas is as dry as a bone. The colored boot legger winging his fleeting way up the alley purveys a homemade . brew to a few adventurous spirits, keener for the excitements of the chase than for a drink itself: but the life or the bootlegger is of few days and full of trouble. He is , negligible as the chicken thief or the man who forges a five dollar check, and has about THE FRAUENBANK SUBJECT OF ATTACK the same status as a professional criminal. He has -no standing in the profession; no organization works for his release; no lawyer unasked comes to plead his case. The' path to the jail and the rock pile is greased. Ar rest means conviction. In three counties Leavenworth, Atchison and Sedgwick there are sporadic convulsions of the Rum Fiend that seem to indicate vitality; but Jt is mere alcoholic reaction in the dead muscles. These were the last counties to surrender their in alienable right to whisky. In two counties in the small mining towns there are open saloons Crawford and Cherokee but in the larger towns even these counties enforce the law absolutely prohibiting the sale of liquor for any purpose, and after the law sending confirmed offenders to the penitentiary, came a law called the ouster law. This law permits the attorney-general of the state, to bring before the supreme court of the state officers whose duty it Is to enforce the law in counties end in towns where the law Is not enforced; and if the attorney-general can show that the law is not enforced the supreme court ousts the officers of the county and new men are appointed in place of the negligent public servants. It works! It works so well that now, after five years of the operation of this law, as a capsheaf of the legis lation that has preceded this ouster law. It may be said that the resolve of Kansas to quit and stay quit is j definitely and finally achieved. I Kansas has sworn off and has made the swear-off stick; and the swearing off is effective and perman- ' ent for exactly the same reason that it becomes effective ill a man. The old tissue of the state degenerated by alcohol has disappeared; a new citizenship dominates the state. No vestige of property right remains in the Kansas liquor traffic. The brew ery has been a crumbling ruin for twenty years. The wholesale liquor house has vanished. WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. o NOTICE Notice is hereby given to all per sons interested, that the . Board of Trustees of Phoenix School District No. 1 expects to make final settle ment with O- L. Tuell, contractor on the Monroe School, on July 18, 1914. By Order of the Board of Trustees, JOHN D. LOPER, Supt. BERLIN, July 11. The celebrated "Women's Bank" in Berlin, conduct ed exclusively by and for the fair sex, is under fire in the financial press because of alleged mismanage ment. Five years old this spring, it makes a specialty of allowing wives to open accounts without the per mission of their husbands a heart less formality required by man-run German banks. The German press enjoys wide latitude of criticism, and and popular organs like the "Tage blatt" and "Morgenpost" are openly warning the female public to "be ware" of further dealings with the Frauenbank until its business meth ods have been cleaied up or radi cally altered. The bank has latterly been in con flict with the authorities. While the management is not accused of viola tions of the law, it is said to be addicted to practices at least un common in the banking world. One of them is alleged to be a system of "tempting" impecunious women to become borrowers on semi-usurious terms, and another, the raying of commissions to woman-agents, who secure customers or new sharehold ers for the bank. The Frauenhank's underlying ambition is to free Ger man womankind from the tyranny of "male capital." IffB tfjwiLnAAjyijvnnirr"""aaai THE SOAP You use must be PURE Cheap Soap is not ALWAYS THE BEST.
