for a chance to try and vote it in;
hence my right to call this Ground
Robin" a saloon petition.
Mr.. Crosby's statement that "many
of the signers will vote against IL
cense" pleases me very much; but to
''compare' my temperance record with
the signers is unnecessary: you know
I don't drink, never smoke or play
cards, and never vote for license.
Much obliged to the REPUBLICAN
GAZETTE for advising me to study the
Bible. If it isn't asking too much
would like to have Mr.. Crosby read
Matthew %: 1884. And to his desire
to have me ''emigrate to Russia"
would simply remark that the English
are closely watched by the Russians
just now.
The saloon element seems to be
quite patriotic; but have right to ex-
press my views whether I am "a chro-
mic howler before election'' or not.
And a thirty years study OF the liquor
question has satisfied me that the
American saloon is IAN .Ibomination
of desolation.'
Have heard that "Willmar ought to
have saloons because it is railroad
town." That is American humbug and
aninsult to the railroad people. Have
also heard that "Second Ward is ir-
redeemable," but I don't believe it..
Why not be beacon light with the
high school, churches, newspapers
and legal lights? There is a chance
to redeem yourself, unless the saloon
element hangs on your neck like a
cramping nightmare; in that case you
can not.
Yours for the welfare of our city,

COVERED MYTH CDRPSES.
A Carnival of Human Slaughter. on Amur River, Told Of by
 Belgian.
UNTOLD THOUSANDS WERE SACRIFICED.
Navigation of the River All Hut Im- possible. Owing to It's Being Lit- orally Choked with Surging Masses of Tangled and Mangled Chinese COrpses.

London, Nov. 14.-The Globe pub fishes a letter from a Belgian who has been travelling to PelSin via the scribes, under date of September 6, what he saw in the Amur river. His account surpasses in horror those pre- viously published.
 "The scenes I have witnessed dur ing the three days since the steamer left Blagovetchensk," he says, 'are horrible beyond the powers of de- scription. 1t is the closing tableau of a fearful human tragedy. Two thou sand were deliberately drowned at Morxo, 2,000 at Babe, and 5000 around Blagovetchensk, a total of 12,O0O corpses encumbering the river. Navi- gation was all but impossible. Last week a boat had to blow her way through a tangled and mangled mass of corpses dashed together by their long hair. The banks were literally covered with corpses. In the curves of the stream were dark, putrid, nau- seating masses of human flesh and bone, surging and swaying in the steamers wake. The captain vainly ordered full speed ahead. The sight and smell will be ever with us.
 From Blagovetchensk to Aigun, AS kilometers, numerous villages studded the bank with a thriving, industrious population of over 100000. That of Aigun was 10000. No one will ever know the number of those who per- ished by shot, sword and stream. Not a village is left. The silence of death was around us, the smoking ruins of Aigun on the right,with broken down, crumbling walls, and shattered, roof less houses"
