MEN HORRIBLY TORTURED.
FiendIsh Outrage Committed by
Thieves on Whom He Informed.
By Cable 20 the United Press.


4 Moscow, May 16, 1894 Six peasants liy-
ing near the town of Ostrogoisk have re-
Gently engaged in wholesale thefts of wood
from the forest of Peskow, selling the
wood and bribing the keepers of the
forest with part of the proceeds. One
of their keepers, a man named Goworoff,
refused their bribes and threatened them
with punishment if they continued their
thefts. Later Gorowoff informed upon the
thieves, whereupon they seized and bound
him and subjected him to most horrible
torture, tearing out his tongue, piercing his
eyes with pins until his eyes were
mere pulp, tearing off his finger
and toenails and finally trampling upon his
body until it was lifeless Goworoffs body
was found in the woods few days ago,
presenting a most sickening spectacle.
An alarm was given and search was
made for his fiendish murders but they
had disappeared in the forest. A strong
force of gendarmes was sent in pursuit of
them, and another force of gendarmes and
large parties of peasants and residents OF
Ostrogoisk are surrounding the forest to
prevent their escape.

oLBvELANDs POLICY ENDORSED
Missouri Democrats Enthusiastic for
the Wilson Bill.

the Wilson Bill.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 16, 1S94.-The
Democratic State Convention wrestled with
the majority report from the Committee on
Resolutions until 2:15 o'clock this
morning. The majority report was
received with considerable enthusiasm.
particularly the planks relating to finances.
The endorsement and commendation of
President Cleveland provoked the conven-
tlon to cheers, intermingled here and there
throughout the hall with hisses and cat-calls.
"A minority report followed, after which the
convention listened to number of speeches
advocating their adoption, and finally adj
journed until ten o'clock this forenoon.
Following is a copious synopsis of the Ma
jority report:
We affirm our faith in, and adherence to
the time honored principles of our party as
set forth in it's state and national platforms
of the past, and express our conviction that
the prosperity of the people and the prosper
ity of the representative government depend
upon their continued supremacy.
Inspired by these principles we declare in
favor of our rights to all and special privi-
highest possible degree of personal liberty
consistent with the public good, and strict
construction of the Federal Constitution.
We denounce all legislation as unjust and
undemocratic which has the effect OF Gre
ating partnerships between the Government
and private interests at the expense of the
great body of our people, and we again as
sert, as in 1892 that "the Federal Govern
ment has no constitutional power to impose
and collect tariff duties except for the pur-
pose of revenue only"
We denounce the McKi nley act as the
eliminating outrage Of tari fl taxation, and
we unequivocally disapprove of the action
of every Democratic Senator and Repre-
sentative in Congress who opposes or de-
lays, directly or Indirectly, under any pre-
port duties imposed by that law.
We favor the imposition of an income tax
as proposed in the Wilson bill.
We denounce as un-American and un-
Democratic the system of taxation on con-
licans and pretended democrats, under
which the poor pay the same or greater
taxes than the rich.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16, 1S94-The levy,
ing of an extra assessment of s525 by the
Supreme Council of the Order of Tonti, on
Monday, has been followed by an applica-
tion in the Common Pleas Court for the ap--

that in year hence the obligations of tho
order will amount to about 81 SOC, 900, while,
its assets will not exceed $4,000, 900. 1t was
for the purpose of making up this large de-

ONE WnMAN,S LIFE

A strange career, filed with startling ex-
tremes and vicissitudes, has just ended in
the death of Mrs George H. Williams at
Portland, Ore. Married and divorced in
early life, she married the lawyer who se-
cured her legal separation from her first
husband. The lawyer rose to be Senator
of the United States from Oregon and At
torney General Of the United States. His
bright and beautiful wife became great
social figure; she had one more ambition,
that her husband should be Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court The place which SEEM
ed within his reach was lost through the OPP
position of those who could not bear to see
land.u Then both husband and wife disap
peared from public life, and the queen of
society sank into the gloom of religious
fanacticisn,, tasted and prayed and doubt
less wept, and now is dead.-Kansas City

OLD ASPARAGUS BEDS.

How long will the asparagus bed
last? A suburban market gardner
says he has large bed about twenty
years old which has about run out.
The roots have grown into a thick
mass all over the field. The rows of
sprouts hive widened until it is diff
cult to cultivate at all and the stalks
have become small. Repeated losses
by winter killing have left large gaps
in some places.
To renovate such field is hope
less job, and to kill out the asparagus
is almost equally difficult. Perhaps
the easiest way to reclaim the land
will be to chop up the surface with a
wheel harrow and SOW to oats or bar
ley, followed by rye 1t will take
several seasons to kill out the plants.
1t may be said here that an aspara-
gus bed will last much longer than
twenty years if the plants are set in
wider rows and farther apart in the
row. Plants which have plenty Of
room for their roots will send up large
sprouts when fifty years old, in land
well MANFRED and clean. In the bed
above mentioned the plants were
crowded in only six inches to a foot
apart, with less than four feet be.
