AUsTRIA's DOMESTIC TROUBLES,

The troubles in the Austrian nation- al parliament arise out of the grow ing struggle by the majority element of the people to escape from the domi- nation which the minority German element has so long maintained. It is fight precipitated by da,wning na- tional impulses on the part of the Slavonians and Hungarians.
 No nation in Europe is composed of so many different races and antag- Onistic factions as Austria. In no European country are so many differ ent languages spoken by the citizens of the realm The population is chief ly composed of Slavonians, Magyass or Hungarians, Germans, Wallach- ians, Italians and Jews. Of the Sla- vonians there are about 100000, by far the largest element; of Magyars about 100000; of Germans 5000, ,0OO; of Wallachians 2,O0O, ,OO0 to 3,OO0,00O; of Jews 100000 and some 5OO,OOO It alians. Through the want of con cert of action on the part of the ma jority of the old races, the Slavonians and Magyars, the compact German mi nority has controlled public affairs and German has been the official lan- guage. For a year or two past the national aspirations of the old ma jority class and a sense of shame and outrage at the domination ard d.cta- tion of the Germans, have been bring ing the opposition to the latter to something like a defined policy and concert of action.
 The results of the fierce struggle for mastery of the empire which is now on between German and anti German, therefore, are the violent and disgIaceful scenes in the reichs- rath which the cable dispatches are daily describing. It is necessary to know these underlying causes to ap- preciate the daily news and follow the developments in the. turbulent parliament at Vienna. There can be but one termination to the struggle although the Austro-Hungarian en- pire may have to pass through scenes of riot and bloodshed-the old race must eventually win and the domi- nation of the German minority cease, to be followed by the official substitu- tion of the language of the majority for that of Germany. To Europe the contest is of consequence, politically and socially, but to us only from a news or historical standpoint

THEY CAN'T AID 1T.
Tennessee Methodist Centennial Commission
Acts,

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 19.-The Ten
nessee Methodist Centennial commits
sion held lively meeting today to dis
cuss the question of proceeding with
the work of preparing an exhibit for
the Tennessee Centennial in view of
the fact that beer and wines will be sold
on the grounds.
The argument did not show any
determination to boycott the centen-
nial, but was along the line that as the
church was committed to the prohibi-
tion theory, all idea of an official ex-
hibit should be abandoned. These
resolutions were adopted
Whereas, at the time we, as repre-
sentatives of Methodism in Tennessee,
undertook to cooperate with the cen
tennial management so as to aid in the
success of what we believed to be a
grand historical and patriotic enter
prise, the ground selected for the ex-
position was located in territory under
the protection of what is known as "the
four mile law"
Whereas, we are now informed by the
executive committee that it is their pur-
pose to incorporate said ground and
thereby remove it from the operation
of said law,
Resolved, that under the circum-
stances it is best for this commission to
be dissolved and that no further steps
be taken to make an official exhibit of
the Methodist churches at the approach
ing centennial exposition.
1t is explained that the ministers
were not fighting the centennial and
did not desire to injure it, but the de.
cision to have no exhibit was simply Q
protest against the sale of beer and
wine.
After the commission adjourned the
representatives of the Methodist Epis
cepal church decided to proceed with
their exhibit.

LA GRIPPE.
Some Recent Reports Concerning the Rayages
of this Prevalent Disease.

DR.. Hartman is constantly receiving
letters from all parts of United States
from people who have suffered from la
grippe or are suffering from it. The
doctor s remedy, Pe-ru-na, is found to
be of great value in the treatment of
this disease. N. N. Coons, Monmouth,
ILL.,, writes: "Last fall 1 was taken
with la grippe and was unable to do my
work. l consulted several of our best
doctors but found very little relief. 1
saw one of your advertisements and
concluded to give your Pe-ru-na trial.
l bought two bottles and was surprised
at the good it did me. l used it all and
bought six more bottles and was soon
able to go back to my work. l think
your Pe-ru-na is an excellent medicine
and have recommended it to others. "
Geo. W. Norman, 2531 Nicollet Ave-,
Minneapolis, Mimi, was also cured of
la grippe with Pe-ru-na.
Many cases of cures of la grippe are
recorded in DR.. Hartman's latest book
on chronic catarrh and catarrhal dis
eases. The book contains ga pages, in
structively illustrated. 1t will be sent
free for short time by The Pe-ru-na

HAD A TOUGH TINE,
Startling Experience Of a Lumber Buyer and

Paducah, KY, Feb. 19.-Authentic
news has reached here from Hamburg,
landing on the Tennessee river, two
hundred miles above here, of the start
ling experience of w. A. Davis, buyer
of Steele & Hilhard, the lumber dealers,
at st. Louis, and his young wife. who
before marriage was Miss Otalla Hip
pei, of this city.
Davis had taken his bride with him
on business trip. At Hamburg he
was mistaken by the moonshiners who
fill that place, for revenue officer.
The illicit distillers besieged the couple
in their room at the little Hamburg
hotel. They battered down the door
and overpowered the husband, dragged
Mrs. Davis, frightened almost speech
less, down stairs. Some of the reputa-
BILE citizens of the town came to his aid
and recaptured the young wife.
The pair were hastily conducted to a
store where they were barricaded and
twenty armed men stood guard over
them. Davis was furnished with q re-
volver and joined in the fight which
ensued between the moonshiners and
citizens.
On the arrival of a steamer early next
morning the pair were escorted on
board by their rescuers who were com

W. P. Moore against John D. Sharp,
which was the contest over the office of

SUPPOSED MURDERER.
Ahaz johnson Arrested Accused of Killing
John ID. -BlOOdhOunds Trailed Him.

Coal Greek, Tenn. Feb. 19.-The
assassination of John ID. Heck, the su-
perintendent of the Royal Coal Coke
Company mines, created intense ex-
citement in mining region and in the
city.
Mr.. Heck was on his way to dinner
when the bullet which caused his death
struck him and he died without speak
ing, He was walking along a path
which runs near the woods and was
reading a newspaper,
Mrs. Heck, who was in the house saw
her husband coming and walked down
the path to meet him. When she had
reached point within ten feet of him
the fatal shot was fired from the hill
above and he fell dead at the feet of his
wife.
The assassin was seen to jump from
behind tree and run up the noun
tain.
Small pines formed dense thicket
and in the center of the thicket grew a
large oak tree and it was behind this
tree that the man who killed John ID.
Heck was hidden.
AS the officers approached the dogs
began to show signs of uneasiness and
when they had reached the tree they
struck the trail and started up the
mountain side.
The wind was very high and some
times bothered the dogs, but they kept
on the trail and after going about two
miles led the officers straight to the
house of Ahaz johnson, miner who
was discharged by Heck shortly before
Christmas.
While looking around the thicket in
which the assassin was hidden, the
gun with which the shooting was done
was found. 1t was one of the old style
army guns, known as needle gun and
had recently been fired. Ahaz Johnson,
the man who owns the house where the
dogs stopped was arrested near GENE.

knowledge of the crime and says that
he can prove an alibi.

A W0MAN'S LOVE
The View From WOman's Standpoint
Difference With Men.

The great incident in a woman's life,
and therefore an inevitable one in the
woman of fiction, is love. The most
constant element in woman's love, in
reality or in fiction, is doubt,
Even with utmost confidence in the
sincerity of the love she has engaged,
few women do not, at times, harass
themselves with the thought that per-
haps the man only fancies that he loves
her; that in the depth of his heart is
buried some other love that may be
quickened; that his love, now SO ardent,
may soon bow dim and gradually fade
away.
They seem never to permit such
questioning to test the merit of the love
they give.
To the lover these doubts are never
well defined they come only in the un-
expected moods that so preplex all
lovers.
She is unhappy and does not know
why. She is despondent, but can not
define to herself cause for hopelessness,
She is wounded. but is unconscious of
what hurt her. She feels that her soul
has gone out to her love; that she must
have it back, but that if it is given back
she must idle. She feels that she and
her lover are all in all to each other, ex-
cept that she may not be all in all to
him. She is devoted to him, but is hs
as devoted to her?
And the man, having no understand
ing of her consciousness, simply berates
himself for having at some time, some
where, in some manner, done some
thing to wound the sensitive nature Of
this dear girl. Or, not being able tc
find any solution of the trouble, he ear.
ly comes to resolving every shade oi
difference through the broad general
principle that all women have theil
moods; that such moods do not really
betoken diminishment of affection; and
that annyances of this sort are part o.
the penalty that man has to pay for the
happiness of love.
In the matter of love men and womeu
seem to be essentially different. Mar
always!shows an abounding joy in being
loved. 1t is never perfect happiness tx
woman unless she can mingle at times
with the assurance o sweet, gentle
melancholy, sprining from doubts whicl
if called to answer she must indignant,
scorn and deny.
So it seems ever to have been, ant
probably it will never be, SO long a

and softens women.
Perhaps this enhances the pleasur
