TARTAR UPRISING FEARED.
Fanatical Opposition to Red Cross agents
in a Russian Famine District.

London. April 1O.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
A very serious situation which has re-
Gently developed in the province of Kason,
in Southeastern Russia, a territory inhab-
tied principally by Tartars, is likely TO
result in a general uprising. Famine ana
typhus have long been devastating the
Volga territory, and have created such
terrible havoc in that province that the
government was compelled 10 send aid
food, and Red Cross sanitary agents.
Unfortunately, rumors were circulated
with the assistance of fanatical priests.
that the representatives of the govern
ment really wanted to convert the Ma
hOmmedans. A genuine religious panic
ensued, and the government agents every
where met with such hostile reception,
being stoned and otherwise maltreated,
that il became impossible TO distribute the
aid sent. The government is now endeav-
Oring 10 reassure the misguided Tartars."

UnderVestS.

The ordinary Summer under
vest, when worn with thin gauzy
dresses, exposes the arm pits. A
newly patented undervest just
received, has a woven shield that
is part of the vest itself and
hides from view the entire arm
pit. The patentee thinks it fills
a long felt want and we share
like opinion. Will be glad to
show these vests-no need to
buy. More than forty other
kinds of wornens and children's
knit undergarments for Summer
are here for your choosing.
Every garment comes direct to
us from the maker-that helps
to keep prices down and quail
ties up. We believe we can ben
eft you in this line as we have
done hundreds of others. Our
prices start at 7c and go up
gradually to the dollar mark.
