Geo. C. Jewell 5 King Street 20 Years In Business ,1,1.1 Iliivn JHIlKMill TlniH III AwnrilliiK Tlinrc. At the Oneida County Fair, last Thursday afternoon, the chief attraction In the exhibit building was the baby show. There were tots of all ages and sixes and all of them were "Just too cute for anything." In fact it was dlOlcult for the Judges, Mesdames Alban, and Haymow! to decide exactly what, babies were entitled to prizes.

They all tried to look their prettiest and uf course every fond mamma was con- tlderit that her child would receive llrst premium. There were many disappointments when the Judges finally did give their verdicts and there were also many happy parents whose children had been among the fortunate ones. A baby show Is a delicate matter upon which to touch, and lest we draw ourselves Into trouble we refrain from publishing the names of the children who captured prizes. Some might be offended to see their baby rated In print under second prize when according to their own opinion the little one should have received llrst. The Judges at a baby show certainly have our sympathy as their position Is anything but a desirable one best.

Several arrests have been caused during the last year for this offense and many human fiends have been made to feel the power of the Jaw.

The Humane Society Is certainly deserving of and should receive the support of all good citizens. LOW LICENSE CARRIES, HAUNTED BY THE OFFICERS Vutv.

Ed. Phillips, Escaped Murderer, Roams Woods Like Scared Physical Wreck. It Is reported than Ed. Phillips, the murderer who escaped from the slier- Ill of Lincoln county at unction last spring, is still In this part of the country. Henry Armstrong and John Lawler, woodsmen, who have been working In one of Langley Alderson's camps near Star Lake, were In'the city Saturday and told a story regarding having met and conversed with Phillips.

The men were out hunting a week ago last Sunday. When about three miles from camp they heard a loud noise In the underbrush and thought a deer to be approaching. They were startled, however, to see a half naked man emerge from the brush and beckon to them. Approaching the stranger, he asked If they could pro. euro him something to eat.

He said that he had killed a man and had roamed the woods for months evading the olllcers. He had subsisted nearly all this time on porcupine flesh and roots. He was In a weak state and said that he could not survive much longer. The men say that, Phillips appeared half crazed and at every sound, started like a scared animal. His clothing was literally torn to shreds and the ucper portion of his body was a mass of cuts and bruises caused from contact with the underbrush.

He Is a physical wreck. The men' were touched by 1'hllllp's deplorable condition and Armstronw Hurried back to camp and secured him some' food. He ale raven ously. They advised the fugitive to sur render to the officers as this would be preferable to death. The man said that he would never go to prison and already had suffered a thousand deaths for the slaying of He made the men promise that they would Inform no one of his whereabouts.

The murderer thei tearfully thanked the men for their kindness and slowly disappeared into the woods. How much longer Phillips will endeavor to hide from Justice Is dllll- cult to tell. The coming of cold weather will no doubt- force him to give himself up or perhaps he will end his own life.

A reward was offered for his capture and the woods was scoured thoroughly In search of him.

He was reported to have been seen at Merlll shortly The occupants of the louse, badly frleghtened. were watch- rig him from a window. He was evidently not pleased with city life for he turned and lumbered leisurely out of the yard to the swamp that iticlrcles that section of the city and les Just back of Frederick Street. It Is reported that, he has since been wen on the rldgeway and several liunters from the city have been en- to get a shot at the animal.

Mr. Jacobs also touched on the trusts and explained how'they were evils to be dispensed with.
