THE diplomatic communication
which says that 80, Russians are
literally dying from starvation,
arouses a feeling that excludes all in
ternational jealousies and touches the
tenderest chord of human sympathy.
With thousands dead and thousands
dying while they desperately struggle
to keep the grim messenger at bay by
eating the bark Of trees, the ire
sistible impulse is to help them, re-
CARELESS OF trade relations or the
feeling which the tyranny of Russia
has aroused toward that Government.
1t is the innocent subjects who are
suffering and it is a matter Of no sur
prise that the general misery has
driven them to acts Of brigandage.

A LARGE part Of the plumber OBJ
tained by the highwaymen who held
up a United States mail-wagon III
Chicago consisted Of currency inclosed
in registered letters. The Postoffice
department expressly disavows entire
responsibility for the safe delivery Of
registered mail, but does agree, in
consideration Of the fee paid, to use
special and extraordinary care in
handling such mail. The extraordin-
airy care in this instance seems to
have been confined to putting several
hundred thousand dollars of registered
mail In a pouch, throwing the pouch
into a wagon, and intrusting the
whole to one unarmed man, who
drove the wagon through some of the
darkest and loneliest streets of the
city.

HERMAN c. LAWS.

Two weeks ago Herman c. Laws, one
of the firm If Hearn. Adkins & Powell,
lumber dealers and mill men at the Mil
ford depot, left here for his home near
Salisbury, Nd, and on Monday last he
died from typhoid fever. Mr.. Laws was
one the most pleasant men who eyer
came to Milford-either III business or
socially. His disposition was to quiet
ness, but with friends was a most agree
able companion. During his career in
Milford he had not made even one enemy
and had gained the respest of the best
citizens of the town. His appearance
gave the impression that he was about
twenty-six or seven years Old-but we
are informed that he entered his 22nd
year on July last. In politics he was
working democrat He was also a mem-
Der of Sakimas Tribe of Red Men, at
which he was in regular attendance, and

Mrs. Millions Ride.

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels
forth in state,
Her horses, full Of FIRE and pride, go prauc-
ing from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she views
with lsnguid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her
voice is hut a sigh
For Mrs Million is in an advanced stage
Of catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth
can buy fail to give her comfort. She envies
her rosy Waiting maid, and would give all
her riches for that young woman's pure
breath aud blooming health. Now, il some
true and disinterested friend would advise
Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, she wonld learn
that her case is not past help. $500 reward
Is offered by the manufacturers for a case of
catarrh in the head which they cannot cure.

STOP IT, the wagons hauling green corn
husks from the caneries to the suburbs
should have racks sufficiently close
made to prevent the husks dropping
out along the streets. Our streets
are covered with this unsightly
nuisance and as the husks are slow to
decay, must remain on the streets till
swept of, or washed away by the rains
Such littering the streets would not be
permitted in any city why should it be
allowed in Milford We dnn't object to
it being hauled through the streets, but
we do think that those hauling should
have some regard for public comfort.
