RRssIA IN NEED OF HANGMEN.-
The world generally believes that the
fate Of a Russian exile in Siberia is
worse than death; but it is not known
to most people that capital punishment
in Russia is extremely rare. In the
majority of cases where a death SEN
tence is pronounced the culprits re-
ceive a reprieYe and are sent to the
mines. a few months ago q band of
thirteen bloodthirsty bandits in the dis.
trict of Kuban were captured, tried and
sentenced Il be hanged. Five subse-
ouently were respited and their SEN
tences committed to lifelong labor.
Capital sentence on the remaining eight
was executed last week in the little
town of Kuban. The gallows were
erected on a small plateau in an elevat-
ed position on the side of a hill facing
the town.
The greatest difficulty was expert
enced by the authorities in finding an
executioner. Official advertisements
for a hangmap, published at Batoun,
Tifis and Baku, brought no response.
Ultimately an executioner WIS found
in the person of a sturdy blacksmith.
When he produced the head covers all
the prisoners, with one exception, re-
sisted, and more especially three pow
ertul culprits.
The executioner only succeeded in
reduing them to something like passive
submission by the relentless application
of a heavy-thonged whip. The scene
with seven of the men was horrible.
Each one in turn resisted to the utmost
of mis- menacled ability, at the same
time screaming mufied curses.

THE REUBEN's MASQUERADE.
The Success of the Season-Dancing and
Fun Galore.

Fun Galore.
The Reubens first masquerade ball
took place in the new Simmons hall
last evening, and was both a social and
| financial success.
! The hall has been fixed up in such a
manner that those of us who used to
dance there from three to six years ago,
would hardly recognize the place. 1t
has been papered, painted, scraped,
scrubbed, cleaned III every way, and
| five new chandeliers put in with the
new gas light, and is now under the
management of Messrs. Pitts & De-
Berge.
The masquerade given by the
Reubens was an invitation affair, and
was conducted in manner that be-
slows great credit upon the manage
ment
About 9 o'clock the hall began to fill
with the merry makers, and by 10 p. IN.
the hall represented one gay carnival
of colors. All nations we're represented
and there we're all kinds of glorious fun
in trying to guess whom you were
dancing with, or talking TO, or grasp
ing the hand of. The five idiots 1--WE
do not mean those from Racine) were
full of the old Nick, and had a gay
time with their capers, and other peo-
pie, and it was hard to tell who they
were.
The couple who attracted the most
attention was the old Dago, with his
organ and monkey, who certainly were
entitled to the pennies they sought,
(but did not get) and who when I'M
masked proved to be Joe Pitts and
Will Senne. The refreshments served
were somewhat more elaborate than
is usually Served on such occasions,
and what was better, there was enough
and to spare of everything.
Every one was having such a good
time that it was hard to get any one
started for home, and nearly every one
stayed until the party broke up with
i" Home, Sweet Home" at about $3.50
this morning.
There were also several children
down from Racine, who had toy whis-
ties with them, but whose ear-piercing
shrieks had to be stopped before the
evening was over. They Whistled
twice too often.
Aside from the above little incident,
the affair. passed of most pleasantly,
and the Reubens we'll deserved the
success they made of the affair.
The music furnished was by the CO.
lumbar orchestra, of Racine, and
judging from the encores they received
toward the close of the ball, they were
most heartily appreciated We are
happy to say that this orchestra was
very obliging, replying to every encore
with few more strains of the waltz, or
polka, or two-step, or whatever they
had previously played.
We hope for another one just like it
in the near future.
