PLOTTING AGAINST RUSSIA.
Polish Secret League Formed Through
out Europe and America.

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-Leaders in Pol
ish national circles of this city say
there is a secret national Polish league,
which is extended throughout Europe
and America and that it has existed
not only FOR fourteen years, but ever
since the breakup OF the last struggle
for Poland's independence in 1865. One
Of the leaders said:
The secret organization has not
been plotting against any government,
but for the freeing OF Poland by force
Of arms or any other method During
the last few weeks Polish national or
ganizauQns in this city which are such
as have no connection with the secret
league, have been receiving informa-
ton that the Russian government has
resumed persecution Of the Poles and
that wholesale arrests are baing made
in Warsaw. the seat of the so-called
central committee of the national
league.
The league hegan a spirited agita-
ton December ,. Of last year. when
CirCula was issued from Warsaw, APP
pcaling to all Poles 10 equip themselves
both mentally and physically so that
in case Of need they might be ready to
serve the cause Of freeing Poland. The
circular called On ali Poles to continue
the agitation for Poland and TO study
and propagate Polish national spirit
Since the publication Of the circular,
books and pamphlets which, because
Of their intense Polish patriotic express
sion, are prohibited in Poland by Rus
sia have been printed in Chicago and
other cities, sent to Europe, placed in
the hands of agents Of the league and
distributed in Poland"
In speaking Of the Polish league and
of the recent arrests in Lemberg, Frank
II. JablOnski, president Of the Polish
National Alliance of America. said:
We have been receiving information
about the numerous arrests in War

In Lemberg is a surprise to US. All We
can say is that the coming events cast
their shadows before them. That shere

cannot tell you. The plan Is to nave
a general UPRISING in Poland in case
OF war between Russia and England.
and it is in line with that plan that
many Poles are being recruited into
English regiments from WarsaW ard
other places and sent, not to the Trans
Vaal, as some correspondents WaLd

the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the cxcretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing any

quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
business. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard Of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower TO
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation Of undigested food, regu-
late the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic actions Of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses Of
Green's August Flower in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For
