PUSHING The SCHEME.
Another Meeting of the Commit
tee on Harvest Festival.

The committee of fifty on b arvest
festival met again yesterday morning.
The enthusiasm was boundless. The
first matter that came up for discussion
was the representation that the city of
Minneapolis will have in the parade.
G. w. johnson reported that his idea
was to have four floats in the parade to
represent the growth of Minneapolis.
An appropriate pillar would be mounted
on each float. The committee approved
his idea, but thought that it would be
well to go much further. G. l.. Smith
spoke on this subject, holding that Min
nesota is not a wheat-groWing state pri-
marily. Last year the dairy interests
were superior to the wheat interest in
the matter Of value, and even the de-
spised hen produced as much as the
wheat fields. He also spoke OF the min
eral and lumber interests of the state,
and declared himself in favor of an eX-
hibit that would represent the North
west as we'll as Minneapolis. w. M.
Bracket was of that opinion, too. He
favored the preparation of floats that
would show in the most striking man
ner the resources of the state and the
| Northwest. and as mauY of them as
| needed. His idea was the one thai
found most favor with the committee
| This plan will be adopted.
Capt. ID. Nj. Gilmore took occasion t
deny the assertion made by the Evening
Tribune that there was split in the
committee on parade. Differences O
opinion there may be, but the commit
tee always votes as unit he says. The
secret societies that will contribute vii
not be asked to put men into line, bu
to arrange appropriate floats.
Aid Potter reported that the commits
sion men will have several floats il
line. The police and other city depart
ments will make a display too. j: 6
Robb reported that the grocers ha
already raised $3.50 and would rails
more. He also stated that the whole
sale grocers will have float in th'
parade. The large building on SOut
Second street, formerly occupied b
Miller Brothers & Fletcher, has bee
engaged as supply depot. All pei
sons desiring to make exhibits of gel
eral or public nature will receive SUI
plies free.

The superintendent of poor submitted
his monthly report as previously pub
lished.
The board discussed the city hospital
matter, and great Indignation was eX-,
pressed at the action of the council COM
mittee on ways and means in refusing
an appropriation for that purpose.
Several little matters in connection
with the recent workhouse investiga-
ton came up, one of which was bill of
S2S for the expenses of the committee.
Another item which brought to mind the
investigation was an application from
Paul Schmedeman for the position of
superintendent of the workhouse. AL
though the workhouse committee and
the board have carefully guarded
against publicity of the contents of the
report, it is understood that the com
mittee will recommend some changes
at the workhouse. Supt. West, it is
said, will be allowed to remain, but will
be reprimanded for laxity of discipline.
Nearly all of the old guards, however,
are said to be on the list.

CAREER OF A N|HIL|ST.
The Astonishing Story Of the Russian
Degaief, Who Was Recently
Arrested.
IA Brilliant Life MARRIED by Acts Of
Treachery Most Extraor-
binary.
Most Brutal Murder of the Man Who
Saved His Life and Confided
in Him.

The recent arrest of the nihilist, Degaief,
III South Russia, for the murder of Soudi-
eikin, was the termination of Rs remarkable
. career as a Russian nihilis6A Lar ran, says
the Denver News. Eleven years ago De-
gaief was a captain of the guards. He was
keen, enthusiastic, we'll educated and dis
contented. He was an idealist and a Arm
believer in the badness of the state of af-
fairs in modern Russia. He was not then a
nihilist, but he had in him all the materials
from which nihilists are made. He drifted
slowly and naturally into the society of
radicals, and became steadily more ex-
treme in his political views, till a day came
when he found himself at the head of a
conspiracy against the life of the ear.
The conspiracy was discovered, all the con-
spirators were arrested, and Degaief was
condemned to die. He accepted his fate
without a whimper. Three days before
the date set for executing him the door of
his cell opened to admit Soudieikin, whom
Degaief recognized Immediately as an old
and long-forgotten comrade in arms.
"How are you, old fellow?' said the
chief.
For moment Degaief felt hope, then re-
kaxoO lubO u bbdGo " IColBiatloA uho VIZ
ewered: 'Aly last opportunity to speak for
myself, isn't it?"
"No, comrade," was the reply. 81 bring
TO you the pardon of the car"
"What! What! Then he requires from
me some service in return"
Nothing at all. You are free, uncondi-
tionally free. Come home with me and we
will talk about it."
Degaief went. In his study Soudieikin
said: 'You know our old friendship. Well,
that saved you. / vent to the czar and in
terceded for you, giving my word Of honor
that if freed you would quit your old ways.
/ have the good fortune to enjoy the czar's
confidence, and he granted me the life OF
my friend"
Degaief sank in tears at the chiefs feet
and protested his determination never
again to make common cause with the nj
hilists. The chief continued:
"What do you expect to do now? Your
return to the army is impossible. I car
Offer you my secr0taryshlp, with salary
enough to pay for your daily bread. Yor
will be, in case you accept this, a membe
of the secret police and my right-han'
man. Go home, think about ii, and decid
without undue attention to my advice"
Full of gratitude, Degaief FASTENED to en-
list in the service of the chief. He pu
head, heart and HAND in his work. He pur
sued his old colleagues day and night
Nineteen nihilists were brought by him t
death, and scores were sent through his in
Auence to Siberia. Degaief obtained tn
full confidence of his chief. Soudieiki,
had estimated him correctly in everythin
save his susceptibility to the psnes of re
morse. Degaief could not forget his oil
radical tendencies. The scorn of his for
mer colleagues scorched him till he coul
endure the pain no longer. He went on
evening to the house of g nihilist leader an
svose BY his revolutionary past to do any

thing required BY. the revolutionary party

thing required by the revolutionary party
as the condition of his reinstatement.
Kill Soudieikin, "ssid the Nihilist leader.
Degaief requested a day in which to think
over this suggestion. Twentv-four hours
later he gave his promise to murder the man
who had saved his life.
The full significance of this promise can
hardly be comprehended without an under
standing of the position of Soudieikin at
tina time. He was at the height of his
power. He was only nominalfy dependent
on tho Third division. He came and went
as he pleased, had constants access to the
cZar, was master of agents answerable only
to him., and had unlimited credit at the
Imperial bank. He was, in short, nearer to
omnipotencs than any other officer of po-
lice before or since his time; and all this
power he applied with all his amazing en-
ergy in the extinction of uinilissn and nj
hilists. lie occupied lodgings in several
quarters Of St. Petersburg. Every evening,
however, he met Deeaief in the third
story Of a modest dwelling house,
small tradesmen who knew moth
ing Of the identity of their new tenant.
Here, Degaief decided, the chief of the Sc
cret police must die. Two nlhilists took
rooms on the third floor in the next house,
and with the outside wall adjoining tho
outside wall of Soudieikin's apartments.
During the day time, when Soudieikin gas
absent, for three weeks the conspirators
laboriously scratched and filed away brick
and mortar between them and their victim.
Not a blow was struck, not a fragment WAS
cut. The powde: from the walls WAS car
ried off in the pockets of De9aief's accom-
plices. At last only a thin sheet of plaster
and paper separated them from the chiefs
study.
On the night of the murder Degaief and
the man who had saved his life sat together
at the study desk. Degaief let fall q heavy
paper weight, the wall was burst in with a
blow from a hammer. and the three nihil-
lists sprang upon Soudieikin. For tsn min
utes all four men struggled up and dow
the room. and then the chief was struck
down dead by Degaief. Half nm hour
later the nihilists in disguise left the
neighborhood and hurried on to announce
their deed to a company of waiting ievolu-
~tionists in q far off basement. The mu del
was discovered on the next afternoon
Shortly aftsrward Degaief's aoeomplicel
were arrested, but as they were only his
creatures they were let off with a life sen.
tence to hard labor in Siberia. BeRaie
could not be found. although his portr.ll
was scattered over the length and BREATH
of Russia, and high rewards were offes Ell
for the capture of him alive or dead.
Eight years later. while attempting to entel
Russia with false passes, he has boon over
taken by retrlbutlon.
All this is not the fairy tale told by car
haters or nihllist haters. 1t is the plain
unadorned narrative of the Russian courts
in which the details of this remarkable
crime have been revealed.
