WE'LL. what is the matter with
wheat? The whole country has gone
Republican, and yet wheat is only
forty cents per bushcl. For the past
two years the Republicans have b,er
telling us that the low price ofwhaat
was caused by lack of confidence. g
Last week the Republicans swept
the whole country, and now all the
farmer has to do is to sit bacl, in his
easy chair and digest Confidence. ="

A Dying Despot.

On what is probably his dcatbbef
the dying car has signalized the
closing days of his career by an act
of lneXcusable brutality.
The other day the feeble despot
with his own hand signed the papers
banlShlng to Siberia for life seven
teen women and forty-cight men and
boys.
A life sentence to Siberia is prac.
tically death sentence.
What crime had these prisoners
committed? Their story can be told
in few words. They were simple
country people living in the village
OF kroze. These villagers hapnened
to be Catholics, and sometime aro
they raised a large sum of money
and built a new church. Then, as
some of the money was left over
they proceeded to beautify the old
church.
While the work was going on the
new governor of the district passed
through the town and ordered the old
church closed, saying that one Cath
ollc church was enough for any town.
The people protested and by feeling
the governor induced him to suspend
his order until they could hear from
the oar. Another governor was ap-
pointed and he ordered the church to
be closed at once. He sent a police
spy to the church, and the worshipers
finding him in an act of sacriieqe
gave him beating. Later the GOV
ernor and seventy policemen went to
the church and closed it. He then
had the women whipped away from
the church and ordered the whole
body of Catholics to move on. This
excited the patient country people
and they drove the governor and his
posse into the church and insulted
them in various ways without offer
ing actual violence.
The next day the governors Cos
SACKS rode into town. They shot at
every face that was seen at window
or door. Occasionally they picked
up child on their sharp lances and
tossed the little body on the roof of
one of the houses whence it rolled |
into the paved streets below. After
the melee it was found that none of !
the Cossacks had been hurt. Eight
If the townspaople were killed, fiftv
'r sixty crippled for life, and seven
-y-two captured.
The governor then authorized his
nen to seek refreshments in the
own. They sacked the stores. cook
"a their dinner in the church, beat
he citizens. threw little children
Ito blazing fires and openly outraged
fifteen women and girls.
All those facts came out on the
rial, but the car endorsed the SEN
ence OF the court which condemned
hese prosecuted people to a linger-
ng death in Siberia. He did this
yer the protest of the highest Judi ,
ial authorities of the empire. .
This cruel conduct, taken in con-
ection with his persecution of the -,
ews, show the true character of

predicted all sorts of disaster, in

Yet in spite of their dismal wall the

year previous. Last year the cry
was repeated, yet the reunion was n
greater success than ever before.
This is the history of the reunions

of these annual whines lies in the
fact that the thousands of people
who attend these reunions-espe-

that multiplied thousands assem-

A Very Valuable Medicine.

There is no medicine so often
needed i'm every home and so ad-
mirably adapted to the purposes
for which it is intended, as Cham.
berlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week
passes but some member OF the
family has need of it. A toothache
or headache may be cured by 1t, a
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia
auieted, the severe pain of burn
or scald promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated
before the inflammation sets in,
which insures q cure in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured
before Il becomes serious, lame
back relieved and several days OF
valuable time saved, or pain in the
side or chest cured without pay Ing
a doctors bill. Procure SOC bottle
at once and you will never regret 1t.
