Ho,r tne 1ate Gear Was KILLED.
New Orleans s-Democrat.


The recent trial of Russian nihilist has de-
veloped new facts regarding thesassassination
of Alexander H. 1t seems the execution OF
the terrible plan was confined to three of the
most trustworthy men in the nihilist brother
hood. There was wall facing the scene
chosen for the attempt. In that wall three
inches had been contrived for watchmen to
shelter themselves when necessary. Each OF
the nihilsts occupied Il niche. The first was
ordered to allow the emperor and his suit to
pass The second was to throw the first dy-
Mantle bomb as soon as the backs Of the es-
cort was turned. The third was ordered to
do nothing unless his comrade should fail.
The order was faithfully executed. AS soon
as the emperor and his escort passed the
second nihilist threw his bomb, which eX-
ploded with terrific effect, killing horses and
Cossacks and blowing the emperor's carriage
to pieces. But the car was unhurt. Then the
first nihilist, with his deadly missile con-
cealcd under his armpit, forced his
way through the crowd and flung the bomb
had eXtricated himself from the wreck of the
carriage. The act was both suicidal and
murderous-a deed of assassination and with
out heroism. for the Nihilist himself was in
stantly killed, while the lower portion OF the
Emperor's body was actually blown Oft. Then
the third Nihilist forced his way through the
ring of Mortified spectators, lifted the shatter-
ed body of the Gar and examined the victim.
All this while he had his bomb ready
for use, but seeing that the Emperor was al:
ready beyond all hope, he placed the mutilated
body in the hands of the Emperor's brother
and the aid-de-camp, and then retired into the
crowd, disappeared. subsequently, betrayed
by the woman Hoffman, he was arrested and
tried on the 25th of February. The details OF
this trial are already known. But the terrible
resolution of the murderer, as revealed by the
trial may well cause the third Alexander to
fear the fate of his father ere long, for the
Nihilists have officially announced that the
coronation shall never take place.

He Wants More Interest.
rNeW York SUM-

We frequently receive letters asking
for advice as to the investment of money.
If it was in our power to suggest to our
correspondents exactly where to put their
small possessions so that much could
speedily and safely be made out of little
we would hasten to give them and every
body else who wishes to accomplish the
same end just the information they de-
sire. Then the happiness of bringing
about the material prosperity of all our
friends would be ours.
But we can point out no certain way,
no absolute safe means of getting for
money more than the current rate of in
terest where good and sufficient security
is given. To get a greater increase some
risk must be taken; and every conseienti-
Gus man is slow about advising people
who cannot afford to lose their money to
run the risk. AS general rule, the less
risk the lower the interest, and the high
er the interest the more the hazard.
For Instance, young man of this city
asks us as follows regarding his savings:
"Sir:-I am young man, 81 years of age,
seeking advice as to what Is the best and most
profitable way without much risk to invest
the small sum of $50, which l have been able
to save from my wages since my stay in bust
ness of three and a half years. l now have my
money in the SAVINGS bank, drawing four per
cent. must say that feel dissatisfied with
this small rate of interest, and desire to in
crease it by legitimate means to better per-
centage. trust you will honor me with a
reply through the columns of your valuable
paper, as believe there are many who would
| like advice on the same question.
AMBITION
Four per cent. is q small rate of inter-
est compared with the rates which pre-
| vailed not many years ago. Yet per
cent. is all the savings bank which has
your money can safely pay on it. Nor
can you get more without some risk and
a good deal of personal care. Keep it
where it is, therefore, seeing to it that
the bank is one of the soundest, and in
crease the sum by your future savings I'M
til you can use your capital along with
your own labor and business experience
10 better advantage.
If a man has little money and puts it
in business which he knows all about
and which he manages himself, bust
ness which he has good reason to think
he can make profitable by industry and
good Judgment, then he has put his cap
ital in the best place. Supplemented by
his labor and guarded by his vigilance, it
may bring him far more than the ordi
nary rate of interest. But even then he
takes risk. The business may not turn
out successful. All the money may be
lost, and his labor into the bargain.
But young man who has saved up
$500 at 81 has done handsomely. He has
exhibited thrifty disposition, which
bodies well for his future pecuniary sue
cess. Let him now resist the temptation
to hazard his savings in an attempt to
make them increase faster than is con-
sistent with safety. Let him distrust
men who profess to be able to point out

wasn't looking, and nibbled when she
was looking. She got away with hearty
meal without appearing to have taken
anything to speak of, and it was only the
empty plates that revealed the fact. She
was not less sklllful in drinking her half
quart of champagne. The
glass was lifted to her lips
like the hand of a queen to kiss; her
mouth shut over barely an inch of the
brim; there was no stopping or gurgling;
the wine trinkled neatly down her throat,
but with quite sufficient celebrity. When
starting to go out, with considerable of
the fluid effervescing in her brain, she
failed for dreamy instant to recognize
her reflection in the full length mirror,

by herself. The blunder was seen by no
body but me. She recovered her equa-
nimity instantly, and departed as smooth

Harvesting sn a Bad Season.

Quite number of years ago the Roya
Agricultural society of England, says the
Farmer, offered prize for an essay On
the best mode of getting in the harvest
in bad season. The prize was won by
MIR. Edwin Eddison, who wrote: "My
experience began in the wet year of 1916,
when the blackened straw Of the barley
looked like smoked stubble in the month
of March" He adds: eAny suggestions
make are given not from theory,
but practice, and my own
observation. My directions will
be reduced to the following
stack On fire or was compelled to pull one
to pieces" His directions are
Reap early.
2-Make small sheaves.
S-Use single bands, i. e.. one length of
straw only.
4-Leave sheaves open as long as you can
before binding.
5-Never allow the sheaves to lie all night
on the ground.
6-Make small shocks.
7-Do not use hoods.
S-Rather let the wheat be muck in the
shock than muck in the stack.
9-Carefully watch it.
10-When dry carefully cart it.
He also adds, in stacking, he cuts grip
nine or ten inches deep all round the stack

Pet Animals an d Contagious Diseases.

The fact that pet animals can carry conta.
gion, and thus be the means of spreading ia
tai diseases, is not widely known nor duly
appreciated. We have heard of authentic
cases in which scarlet fever was commuui-
Gated from one person to another by means of
a cat. DR.. Hewitt, of Lake Superior, relates
somewhat similar instance in which diph-
iberia was communicated by the same animal
He had noticed for several days that his pet
cat was suffering from an enlargement of
the glands of the neck; he also remarked the
same in other cats. His cat found a resting
place in the wall behind the stove, and
there died. The day the animal was removed
diphtheria, in its mos. violent form, broke
out in his family, resulting In the death of
two or three of his children, the doctor him
self barely escaping with his life. Up to this
time the community was remarkably free
from sickness of any kind. 1t was the start
of severe epidemic. We refer to this sub
ject in hopes that more facts bearing upon it
may be communicated by our readers. Such
facts are at present few, but little attention
paid to the matter would, no dout, secure
much that would be of importance to COM

MANY AWFUL AvALANcaEs.

{ROdle Free Prese1

{Bodle Free Press.)
No alarm was felt by the inhabitants until
abou, 4:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
the 18th, when the first avalanche turned
loose an S00-foet precipice near the top of
Mount Scewden, which rises to a height of
$500 feet between aud at the confluence of
Lake and Mill Creek canyons, overlooking the
southern section of the town of Lunday.
This body of loose, dry snow dropped about
800 feet, where it struck upon bench of the
mountain, bounded out upon the
air compressed beneath it, sailed over
the tops of the tallest pines and came down,
vertically, 1900 fee tfrOm its last point of con-
tact with the earth. This demolished the
residences of and curried Mr.. and Mrs. Win
tiers, on the north side of Chicago avenue;
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayors and their three little
girls, and man named Antoine Silver and four
Frenchmen on the south side of the avenue.
She last named party consisted of Joseph
Caron, George Chagnon, August Doryan and
August Duval. Caron and one of the Mayes
girls each saw the great mass of snow de
scepding. Caron called to his companions
that a snow cloud had burst above them, and
the little girl rushed into the house and tod
her mother cloud was falling. Stove pipes
and chimneys were filed without being
broken, showing that the hard packed snow
descended vertically.
lEe SeCOtu aVdldnCut was 10 Suldll audir,
and was even more terrifying than the first.
It started from a cliff overhanging the busi-
ness center of the town, where no snow-slde
has ever been known to occur. Three-fourths
of the population were in the streets in the
course of the avalanche when it started, and
they could not flee, as the snow was five feet
deep and soft. Fortunately, the slide struck
on broad and elongated rock mound or bench
projecting from the mountain near its base
and burst into cloud OF spray, or rather the
compact snow was disintregated and sent
whirling with the velocity of fine shot from a
gun, the rush of air created by the avalanche
being sufficient to lift men from their feet
and knock them several steps and to drive the
fine snow into planks of the buildings on the
opposite side of the street.
An avalanch that shot down Mount Dis
covery, on the west side of Lake Canyon; at
II o'clock Wednesday night, buried many
persons, swept away CABINS and mining work,
and covered the bodies of some of its victims
to depth Of forty-five feet. On reaching the
open moraine an avalanche down Mount
Gilcrest spread out, like pigeons tail, to a
width of nearly half mile, and rolled down
10 huge wall of snow 900 or 400 feet high
In space of one hour and a half no less than
nine ponderous avalanahes were witnessed
from the town, some Of them running clear
across Lake Lundy and one crossing the creek
below. Forty-fve men, two woman ard three
little girls were buried by the slides. -Four
men were killed and many wounded.

Virginia City, near Dillon, IS the out
fitting point for tourists to the park via
the Union Pacific railroad. The fares
auoted above are the local rates, and of
course through tickets can be had much
cheaper. The journey from Omaha or
St Paul for ten days trip in the park,
including sleeping car fare, horse hire,
board or provisions, may be set down at
$500 or $3.50 per person. The distance
from Virginia City to the centre of the
park is ninety miles, while to enter the
park bv the Northern Pacific and Boze-
man routes is but seventy-four miles.
