LONDON, Aug. l5.--The work entitled
"In Darkest Russia" has met with q
very good sale, and the second edition
has been issued. The book is devoted to
an expose of the wrongs from which
Jews In Russia suffer, and the second
edition gives long lists of fresh persecu-
tions to which Hebrews in that country
have been subjected.
No Connection Whatever.
A vast mass Of statistics is presented
to prove that the statement alleged to
have heen made by the cga: that that J Jews eessssss
were connected with dynamite oatragos
Is unfounded.
Contribution OF n Duke.
The book contains letter from the
Duke of Westminster, saying that
things IN Russia are going from bad TO
worse. The inhumanity of the Russian
authorities, the duke declares. is aston
ishing, almost incredible. The czar, ac-
cording to the same authority, renders
himself liable to be placed in the cate
CORY of rulers who, like Philip II of
Spain, clothed with irresponsible power,
have used It, not for the happiness and
benefit of their subjects but for their
ruin. Such rulers, the duke says, de-
serve the contempt and loathing of all
that is best in the civilized world
Prohibited from Bathing in the Sea.
A letter from a Jew in Russia to
minister In London is also published in
the book. The writer says that the most
serious matter of all is the general out
lawry in which Jews are held. Every
petty Russian official assumes the right
TO treat them AS he sees fit AS an illus

stances the fact that the police of Libau

He eoT HIS MONEY BACK.
Lost 1t at Faro and Won 1t with Two
Cooked RevolVers.

DAYTON, o., Aug. ia stranger
dressed similarly and answering the de-
scription exactly of the Columbus Grove
robber, created sensation here Friday
morning by intimidating old Sam Wag-
ner to stop dealing faro and hand over
$19G to the stranger, who was pointing
two cooked revolvers at Wagner's head.
The stranger is strongly built man
about twenty-five years old, cockeyed,
dark mustache and wore blue clothes
and a straw hat. Thursday he bucked
against Wagner's game and lost $l96,
and took this way to get his money
back. Wagner runs a saloon and
restaurant on Main street, and the place
has been famous gambling house for
thirty years, the two upper floors being
elegantly fitted up for hazard, roulette,
poker and faro, and for the headquar-
ters of the Kentucky policy game.
The upstairs is effectually arranged
with iron drop door and double partitions
to barricade against police raids. The
doors swing open readily at the approach
of patrons of the games. Friday morn
ing at 10 O'clock this stranger who had
lost the money Thursday walked quietly
into the bar and after taking a drink
walked leisurely to the stairs where a
watchman is always on duty.
He was recognized and proceeded up to
the gambling room and direct to the
table where Sam Wagner, ST., was deal
ing faro. Wagner had his outlook
and his helper at his side and there were
two men playing, making five people in
that room besides the stranger. Wag-
ner was dealing as the stranger faced
him and the latter, drawing his hands
from his pocket with cooked revolver
in each hand said. You id - hand
me back my 1896 this minute or I'll
blow your Cd id brains out"
He caught the eyes of the two helpers,
and they saw that the slightest move
ment ON their part meant instant death.
Wagner recognized the fellow would
shoot, and he counted HIM out the
money, $196, without delay. 1t was
done in less than minute, and the fcl-
low, with the revolvers covering the
gamblers and players, backed out of the
room, walked down stairs and ont
through the crowded room to the street
No effort was made to pursue him, aid
1t was some time before employees or
anybody else down stairs new of the
affair.
The Wagners do not want any arrests
made, aud though the daring of the
stranger has created a big sensation, the
matter will be allowed to pass if it will
Old Sam Wagner has not drop of cow
ardice in him, but he recognized the fact
that the fellow had the 1rop on him and
would kill him; therefore he meekly
handed over the money and will bide his
time to get even.

Biography.
Mrs. Polk was Sarah Childress, daugb-
ter Of Joel and Elizabeth Childress. She
was born Sept 4, 1903, near Murfrees-
boro, Tenn.
Her folks were Presbyterians, and
when she was fifteen years old she was
sent to complete her education at the
Moravian institute, at Salem, N. c.,

In 1924, when she was twenty-one,
she was married to Mr.. Polk, at that
time member of the Tennessee legis-
lature The next year he was sent to

Mrs, Polk joined the Presby

When her husband was elected gov
ernOr of Tennessee Mrs. Polk accom-
panied him to Nashville, and presided in
the executive mansion of the state.
In 1915 she went with President-elect
Polk to Washington, and was installed
mistress of the White House. For her
duties in this position she was well quail
flied, by her long experience in Wash

President Polk spent all his salary in
living in good style, and Mrs. Polk was
very popular and successful in adminis-
tering the hospitalities of the presiden-
tial mansion.
Since the civil war Mrs. Polk has said
of herself and Of her sympathies and of
her principles as related thereto:
when it came to actual conflict and
the lives of the people with whom !
always had lived and whose ways were
my ways were at stake, my sympathies
were with them. But my sympathies
did not involve my principles, and

out his views to the last if | could

pected, sooner than / expected, and set

idence. The question is dead. 1t is not

GETTING THE WORST OF IT.
The English Syndicate That Bought the
Pillsbury Mills.

Ptllsbury Mills.
DULUTH, Aug. Minneapolis par
ties have within the last three months
sent one lot of 1900, 600 bushels of wheat
to the east Since then another con-
signment of 100000 bushels has passed
through here, and it is said that this
wheat is being sent out Of the country
by Pillsbury, and that every bushel of
it represents loss to the big English
syndicate runging the mills of twenty
cents. Last fall the syndicate loaded
up with great quantity of grain at
prices ranging from $1.10 to $l.19 per
bushel. Since then wheat has gone off
pretty steadily, and short time ago the
syndicate found itself with enough
wheat to make million barrels of -four
right on the eve of the biggest wheat
crop the United States has ever known,
and with the stuff worth about ninety
cents or less Il bushel, some of this
wheat had to be got out of the way.
Hence the shipment.
Denied by Mr.. Pillsbury.
A dispatch from Minneapolis says:
Mr.. Pillsbury being asked as to the
truth of the statement published under
a Duluth date, states that the general
tenor of the dispatch is a most malicious
falsehood, evidently promulgated by
some one to do injury to his business.
The figures are the grossest and widest
exaggeration, both as to cost and
amount of wheat. He has purchased
what wheat he has calculated would be
required for milling on the markets
every week in the year, and at an aver
age cost below present prices. The to-
tai requirements of his mills are over
10000, 600 bushels. The mills were run
uninterruptetiiy, and the purchases have
not been i'll excess OF this amoant. All
the millers in Minneapolis put together
have not purchased the amount stated
in the dispatch during the past year,
and comparatively little of the wheat
has been purchased at the price named.
On the contrary, the great bulk of the
wheat has been bought below 81 bush
el, which is about the present value of
old wheat in MinneaDolis
