A Good Sousa Story. It is said that when the famous band leader came to this country as a poor, unknown immigrant, his bag gage was marked "John Philip So, U. S. A." and a careless custom house officer ran the letters together and made the name now known round the world. That is a good story except for the trifling fact that there is not a word of truth in it. ., Mr. Sousa. was born in Washington, D. C, some forty-nine years ago, his father being a native of Portugal, where the name of Sousa is as well Smith is in this country. But it really Smith is in tis country. But it really makes little difference what his name is or how he got it his music is played wherever there is a band, and there is probably no hour out of the twenty-four when a Sousa mareh is not being played somewhere. A number of the best of them will be played at the Coliseum nest Friday afternoon and evening.

Saturday night he was kept in the steel cage at the city building, awTaiting removal to the county jail. Outside parties sawed the bolts through with a hack saw and liberated the prisoner. The door -was badly damaged and the heavy lock carried away. ' Nothing has been heard from the prisoner and no effort will be made to find him. Should he return he will be prosecuted for breaking jail. A determined effort will "be , made, however, by the county officers to apprehend and punish the persons who broke the lock and assisted the prisoner to escape. After Bailey had almost killed his wife by beating her, the woman spent the evening at the jail with 'him, taking her two pretty children to cheer their father in his hours of imprisonment. She had her head done up in bandages andt was weak from loss of blood and the injuries he had inflicted. , State Convention. (By Associated Press.) Concord, X.

The bid was about $2,500, and is by far the largest contractor's job awarded in this city for many years. Twice were bids advertised for before this bid was received, all the contractors fighting shy of the job on account of its magnitude. For three months council has waited for a bid on this sewer, and now that the contract is awarded both council and the residents of Northwest Second street will breathe easier. The sewer will run from State street on Northwest Second street, to the alley north of Chestnut and Lau rel avenues, thence east in the alley to Sheridan street, then?e north in Sheridan street to the Pennsylvania railroad outlet, a distance of 2,750 feet in all. Thus the job is one" of considerable magnitude.. and was avoided by all local contractors. -. Engineer Weber's estimate was $7 per lineal foot. Bryan at Lima October 1.
