THE SIBERIAN HORROR.

Further Particulars of the Circumstances
Leading to the Suicide OF Nine. Sihida
and the Resulting Massacre in siberia
a Change of Officers.
PARIS, Feb. 15.-Further particulars
of the Siberian horror have been re-
cieved and show that the cruelties were
worse than at first reported. 1t now APP
pears that Nine. Sihida had younger
sister, some sixteen years old, who went
to Siberia to look after her comfort.
Arriving there. she had the misfortune
to please the eye of the director of the
prison. She was detained by him on a
trumped-up charge of conniving at
Nine. Sihida's attempted escape, and
became a victim of his brutali-
ty. She was subjected to such
atrocious treatment as to cause her
death soon after. Nine. Sihida, indig-
nant and terrorstricken by this awful
event, vehemently denounced the out
rage. In doing this she attracted the
attention of the director, who then APP
preached her with the same insults he
had heaped upon her sister. The mon
strous revenge of the director in having
hGr publicly logged followed, and this
punishment was accompanied by in
human incidents which probably had
more to do in driving her to suicide than
the exposure to which she had been sub
jected.
The revolt in the male prison is con-
firmed, and it is now definitely known
that the number of killed amounted to
forty-one. News of the affair has now
been circulated in Russia and it has in
spired the Nihilists with new vigor.
Upon learning the particulars and
realizing the universal protest and vio-
lent feeling the case would arouse the
Gar dispatched an officer to replace the
director and ordered that official to re-
port at St Petersburg.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
A Confederate Home

The following recently appeared in the
st. Louis daily papers:
ST. Louis, Feb. s.-There are many desti-
tute crippled Confederate soldiers in this
and other States carrying in their persons
the surviving physical agony of the war
These men went into battle impeled by q
conviction of right on their side, as has been
frequently admitted by John Sherman in his
tennessee speeches and other Republicans
whose mental vision is broad enough to look
over the whole field of historic facts. They
nave been amneSted, which in law eX-
tinguishes all legal wrong done; they have
shown themselves good citizens for quar-
ter OF Il century, since the war; their chill
dren have grown up and entered manhood
and womanhood under the American flag.
and have for it a deep affection. Why not
open the Soldier Homes of the country tic
suffering Confederates? They never
draw pensions, nor do they expect desire
to do so, but there is no inSurmountaDle
reason why they may not sit down by the
National freside with the Union veteran ana
pass with him their declining years. No
personal irritation exists between the SOL
diers of the two opposing armies They
deck the graves of their respective dead to-
gether; they admire the personal bravery OF
the most enduring personal friendship. The
children of both would be drawn nearer to
each other by such an example; the splen-
did hospitality of the country so manifested
would appeal irresstibly to the chivalry OF
the whole people, and make the American
flag to the rising generation the world
highest eXemplifications of magnanimity.

philanthropy ennobles the giver and bene-
uciary alike. JEFF CHANDLER.

QUESTION of facts brought out and de-
veloped by the association. There are
now as many well-bred stations and
mares in the State of Missouri as can be
found in any part of the country, hence
one is no longer under the necessity of
sending mares to distant States to be
bred, not only saving much in the cost
of transportation, but in the risks neces-
sarily attending it. Dealers are no
longer obliged to go elsewhere either to
bay or sell the best to be found"
