JURY FINISHES PROSING CASE FOR THIS TERM Investigating Body May Recommend Censoring of Mail as Result of Recent Jail Deliveries. Th grand Jury completed Its probes into the criminal affairs of the county yesterday afternoon and this morning began the Inspection of tbe charitable an correctional institutions. The county poor farm was visited tbis morning. Tomorrow morning the jury expects to visit tbe county Jail. ' V- V Because of the escape made ' from the jail early this morning by Ben Miller, who was awaiting trial for burglary, the grand jury will undoubtedly recommend more stringent jail regulations. Prisoners have been Allowed to roceive mall without it being censored by the jail authorities. It is believed that Miller received his tool3 to cut the iron bar at the base of the chimney ventilator, in a letter. The grand Jury finished the probe into the disturbance at Webster several weeks ago when some unknown man killed a dog belonging to Hownrd Starr. The dog was strung up with a rope to a rafter in the porch and it Is believed that the man responsible for it had a personal animus toward Mr. Starr. It is understood that none of the witnesses before the grand Jury were able to identify the person responsible for the crime. In addition
to Mr. Sifirr, John Lamb and Squire
Stidham were called before the Jury Tuesday afternoon; The murder of Eugene Coleman
was also investigated by the grand
jury and it is probable that a true bill will be returned against Michael Coleman, the boy's step-father.-ENGLAND SPENDS $21,000,000 FOR DAY'SJVARFARE SlumD in Recruiting Noted

SCHROEDER MARRIED TO ANDERSON GIRL
Al Morel is responsible for this artide, and ho will have to assume the blame herein, given to Henry SchroeJer. Henry is evidently a modest gentleman, for when questioned as to his contemplated marriage he denied all knowledge of the event and declared Ihc rumor was all "bunco." However, It is asserted by those who declare Ihey ltncw, that Mr. Schroeder took Unto himself a bride in the person of t very charming young lady from Anlerson, and while he still states that
ie is a bachelor, his friends refuse to! believe him. Tho wedding occurred n Friday.

PETROORAD, Sept 15. Two subsequent flanking movements by the Russians have put the entire Austro-Ger-man right wing in a dangerous position which threatens with disaster the great Teutonic invasion of Russia, according to latest reports received by the war office. South of the Prepit marshes large German forces are hurriedly retreating, pursued by the Rufrr elans, who have crossed the Ooryn river and are pressing forward. Still further south the Austro-German troops forced to withdraw to the Strypa river are finding it difficult to hold their positions. s In the fighting of the last few days more than 13,000 prisoners have been taken by the Russians. The AtastroGerman armies are believed to have
lost thrice that number in killed and wounded. General Ivanoff, commander of the southern Russian army, has executed a brilliant piece of strategy, according to the Petrograd military experts. Permitting the Austrian and German forces to advance to the Lutzk-Dubno line, he suddenly launched an of fensize against the Teutons' left flank from the Pripet marshes, at tbe same time making a similar attack on the enemy's right from the Sereth river positions. The Austro-German salient extending into Russian territory from northeastern Galicla immediately found it-; self in great difficulty. Retreat was found necessary. That retreat is now in progress. Only part of the Teuton, army has been able to extricate Itself, however.-
