The Fearful Massacre of Catholics Done
Under Orders

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-The newspapers here
state that the recent massacre of Cath
olics at Krosche, Russia, by Cossacks
was due to the express order of General
Kakhanof, governor Of Wilma. The
papers declare that sixty persons were
killed and 100 injured by the Cossacks.
The story has been discredited, however.

GOVERNOR GREENHALGE, of Massa.
chusetts, in his inaugural address has
concurred in the recommendation made
by mis- Immediate predecessor, the Hon.
W. e. Russell, for the abolition OF fast
day, and suggests as substitute there
for the observance by solemn and patri.
otic ceremonies of April 10, day made
dear 10 the heart of every American by
the defeat OF the British at Concord and
Lexington. The suggestion is r. good
one. Already the States and nation
nave agreed in the observance OF ono
day when thanksgiving and praise shall
be rendered generally throughout the
land. AS day Of fasting and PRAYER
fast day has become failure. 1t has
been less disregarded from religious
standpoint than any other. Moreover
the Government in it's aim to steer clear
of any religious proclivities has no ex-
cuse for appointing such day for the
observance intended. The church of
the land has prescrlb ed certain DAYS
among different sects for religious OBJ
servation which can moro properly be
so celebrated by them. Aside from a
national thanksgiving day the Govern.
ment will do we'll in leaving other re-
ligious observances to the church.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALI. has made q
very creditable beginning of his career
as chief executive of this State by the
appointment OF Brigadier General
Charles q. Anderson TO the position of
adjutant general. General Anderson is
eminently fitted for the position for
which he has been chosen and which he
so acceptably filled temporarily during
the illness and since the death of Cen
eral Mcdonald. Having served for
twelve years with distinction as brig.
adler general, he was, therefore, in
direct line of succession to the
position which, in point OF re-
muneration is more desirable than
the one he held. General Anderson was
the favorite and whose cause was
warmly espoused by the officers and
members Of the general Virginia volun.

CHURCH PICNIC TROUBLES.
Former Abileneites Figure in Heavy
Damage Suit.

A Topeka woman known to many
in Abilene and once resident here,
Mrs. X. X. Schlichtcr, is having a
round up with some Topeka people,
the result of church picnic. She
has through her attorney, 5. Is. Isen-
hart, filed a petition against l.. S.
Whiting of that city for $4,000 dam
ages for defamation OF character and
running her reputation.
Both parties to the suit are mems
bers OF the Lutheran church of which
Rev. +. NJ. Porch is pastor, and the
trouble dates from the spring OF 1892,
when the church held a picnic at
Bismarck Grove, near Lawrence. Ice
cream, cake and lemonade were sold
to raise money for the church. Mrs.
Schlicter helped make change at the
cashiers desk. When the money was
counted after the picnic, it was found
about s2j was missing. 1t is alleged
that Whiting ON that occasion and
since accused Mrs. Schlichter of the
theft and she takes this method Of

Complimentary Words for an Abilene
Boy and His Work.

The Ottawa Herald has the follow
ing complimentary words for an Abb
lene company and its genial manager,
all OF them are thoroughly deserved;
Mr.. Chas. Kubach, the general man
ager of the Excelsior Fence Machine,
expects to leave the city today, and
will take little lay of and 90 to the
mountains to recupcrate his worn out
system. Mr.. Kubach is very much Of
a gentleman and an untiring hustler
as his bank account Of collection will
show. During the four or five weeks
work in this city he sold nearly s., 600
worth OF machines. Thus it may be
seen that he did not let very many
victims get away when once he got
them In his fatal tolls. We under
stand that the machine Is good one
and that Of course ASSISTS very mater
tally in making quick sales, but it
takes good judge of character a
good talkcr, rcasoncr and quick of
PERCEPTION to sell even n good thing.
The company he represents is a Kan
sas affair, organized at Abilene and
backed by the best business men and
bankers Of the city, and they are for
tunatc in securing safe man who has
the requisite push, honor and integ-
rity, to manage the sale Of their ma,
chine that Mr., Kubach has.
So pleased with the Fence Machines
excellent qualities are the Franklin
county people that they are endeayor
ing to secure territory for the organ
ization Of new company.

Hon. David Oyermeycr, who spent

words In describing the Populists. In
an interview he said: "Populism has
now reached stage where il is simply
Coxeyism, and Coycyism is incipient
revolution superinduced by organized
yagabondage and militant scoundrel-
ism. In so far as CoXeyism processes
to aim at remedial legislation, it is
simply old, Hat greenbackery with the
later Populist patcrnallsm and semi

in the constitutional power OF
congress to grant, even II congress
were willing. Take out the appro-
priations for carrying on the gov
eminent and for pensions, and take
out the subjects Of Federal taxa
tons (tarilT), the currency and inter
State commerce, and there are no
other matters about which congress
can legislate in such way al
to affect monetary or economic
conditions. We are at the
| parting Of the ways. We must choose
between reaction and revolution, be-
tween Coseyism and the constitution,
between Democracy and political
demonology, between the republic

"You will not dare publish what l

A Good Son Is This.

An interesting story of flial devotion
is told of Deering citizen who, as a
young man, followed the sea and visited
many foreign lands, settling down at
home some 80 years ago, never having
slept out of his own house but 10 nights
since that time. During all these years
he has never failed every day to call at
the neighboring house of his aged par
ents in the early morning before going
to his work in Portland and on his re-
turn at night He always finds his IA
ther and mother ready to greet him. He
always says "Hello" in his CHEEKY voice,
and the old man replies, "We're here,
john" That is all, but 80 years of that
every day is vastly more flial compan-
ionship than falls to the lot of most ia
theirs, and fortunate indeed is the moth
er whose fond heart never looks in vain
for the daily visit of her son!-Lewiston
