A TENTACLE ON GERMANY.
Standard Oil OCTOPUS" Clutches the
Fatherland

Berlin. Dec. 10.-The minister of the in
terror, Count PosadowsAy, replying in the
reichstag today to an inquiry regarding
the intention of the government with re-
gard to thwarting the Standard Oil COM
pany from monopolizing the German mar
ket. said the government was aiding the
competition of German spirits of wine
with petroleum. There was hope that
the efforts being made to improve the
spirit lamp would shortly be successful.
The minister of railroads, continued Count
Posadowsky. had also arrived at a GER
tain decision regarding the reduction of
freight rates on Russian petroleum More
over, an increase in the customs duty on
American petroleum was being consider
ed.
In conclusion, Count Posadowsky said
the government, if necessary, would pro-
ceed ruthIessly against the abuse COM
plained of in connection with the Stand
ard Oil company and would adopt widely
the measures he had indicated.

SIX LIVES TAKEN.
Woman and Five Children
Butchered i'm Their Home.

Wesson, Miss, Dec. 10.-Oue of the most
atrocious murders on record in the south
was committed last night in Simpson
county, this state, twenty miles from
here. Brown Smith. a farmer and a son
of ex-Representative Edward Smith, left
his family at his home in the country to
go to town for shopping purposes, thinks
ing of no possible danger to them. When
he returned he found his wife and five
children lying in pools of their own blood
and apparently all dead. An alarm was
raised Immediately and the entire neigh
borhood turned out to hunt for the per
petrator of the crime.
There being no telegraph connections,
details Of the murder come in slowly, but
it is reported that one of the little girls,
enough to tell what she knew of the oc-
currence. She says she knows the man
who committed the deed, that it was
negro, and described him. A posse is
now or the track of the murderer and
there IS great probability that he will be
apprehended and there can be but little
doubt Of his meeting speedy justice when
caught, without waiting for the formal
ity Of a court.
It is learned that Mrs. Smith and the
other four children are dead. Sheriffs
NIcNair of Lincoln and Thompson of CO.
piah counties have gone to the scene of
the murder, each with a pack of trained
blOodhounds

STOPS K. P. SALE.
Senate Resolution Will PrOba-
bly, Lead to PostpOnement.

Washington, Dec. 10.-With the ex-
ception of the offer of 81, 500, 900. received
sometime ago from the Union Pacific
reorganization committee for the gov
ernments interest in the Kansas Pa
cific which was promptly declined, the
government has received no intimation
as to the purposes of the committee
with respect to the sale set for Decem-
Der 16.
The government is now in a position
to bid at the sale, and but for the reso-
luton adopted by the senate yesterday
asking the president to apply to the
court for postponement, there is no
doubt that it would have done SO, should
the committee have failed to make an
acceptable offer. The senate resolution,
however, changes the situation.
Attorney General McKenna will soon
begin the preparation of the necessary
papers in the case and will at once ask
the court to set day for hearing the
argument in support of a motion for
postponement. The attorney has no
doubt the motion will be granted upon
the showing he will be able to make

MOSLEM UNREST.
Russian Empire in Asia Rests on q
Political Volcano

Russian Empire in Asia Rests on a
Political Volcano.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. 1O.-Throughout
Russian Asia there is general unrest among
the Moslems. It is attributed to exagger-
ated reports of the Turkish victories over
the great Greek empire" which have
spread through the length and breadth
of the continent.
The authorities even fear that the re-
vival of brigandage recently noticed in
the Caucasus is directed almost solely
against the government, and the unprece-
dented phenomenon of Georgians display
ing hostility toward Armenians has be-
come manifest.
The danger is so serious that a confer
ence of Caucasian governors has been
convoked to concert measures of pacifica>
ton. Travellers in central Asia report an
extraordinary ferment among the Mos
lens of different races. They are sinking
their mutual animosities and declaring
that they are first of all Mohammedans,
with the Sultan as their common chief
1t is evident that the slightest pretext
would suffice to bring about an uprising
and plunge Russia into the same sea of
trouble as India.

Is IT A FRIFLE /?
That Common Trouble Acid Dyspep
sia, or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease.


Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of
indigestion resulting from fermentation
of the food. The stomach being too
weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas, and a bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth is Oft
en- present. The condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
renee, is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as medical cure for every
form of dyspepsia
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
by druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. 1t is prepared by the
Stuart company, Marshall, Mich, and
while it promptly and effectually re-
stores a vigorous digestion, at the same
time is perfectly harmless and will not
injure the most delicate stomach, but

gestion strengthens the stomach, i'm

tachment by the Santa Fe.

Kansas City, Dec. 1O.-The "'Peerles Cor
inne" would have been the ''baggageless"
Corinne, also, had the attorneys for the
Atchison, Topeka &. Santa Fe Railway
company known she was in Kansas City
yesterday. As it was, she got away with
her car load of trunks and scenery before
she could be served with attachment pa
pers. The Santa Fe roads claim is 81
100 for carrying herself, her baggage and
her associates from California to OF
tawa, Kan.
Corinne opened this season at the Coates
Opera House in this city, and tie very
first week had such a difference with her
managers. Rich & Maeder that she took
possession of the company herself. She
was not oversuccessfuI, and at Topeka
three weeks ago her effects We're attached
by a discharged employe. After sitting
on her personal trunk nearly all night
to keep the deputy sheriffs from taking
it, she wrathfully paid the claim and was
released. Corinne incorporated her COM
pany under the laws of Kansas.
When the Santa F'e people learned she
was in Kansas City yesterday on her way
TO New VI rk with her company and car
lo1d of baggage they hustled aboLt to
attach the property. C1rihne came in
owe tie Memphis road with her baggage
in a Missouri, Kansas & Texas car. 1t
was not unloaded, but transferred to the
Chicago & Alton road and left for New
York city by way of Chicago at $40 p. m.
Lathrop, Morrow, Fox & Moore did not
begin action until nearly o'clock. and at
7:39 attachment papers were served on the
Chicago & Alton road. But Corinne was
well and away with her baggage, and
probably didn't even know what a mar
row escape she had had.

sented to Congress.

Sented to Congress.
Washington, Dec Ex-senator Hoar
yesterday presented a monster protest
in the senate from native Hawaiians

retaries respectively of the Hawaiian
Patriotic league and the Hawaiian Wo-
mans Patriotic league, who made Ger
tificates that the signatures were all

witnessed by the native Hawaiians
comprising the delegation now here to
oppose annexation who made their first
visit to the capitol yesterday. They
told those with whom they conveFsed

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
oilenso, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should aud
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are IT'S u poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
ailluont circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
