Fearful Torturo1,

For many years l was a teacher In
Afghanistan, and during my stay in
that country l was often an unwilling
witness OF some horrible exhibitions
OF torture. Here Is one they use in the
case Of women to extract testimony.
1t consists in prying OF the finger
nails by means OF a small chisel or
bradawl, which Is showed in slowly but
firmly from the finger tip downward
under the quick of the nail, which Ii
then lifted up and out. This IL an
other that once saw used in the case
OF small child, who would not own
up to some petty theft: Sticks were
thrust between its fingers and then
squeezed together, SO that the sticks
crushed into the bones. 80 much for
women and children. Here Is a meth
cd OF eliciting information from an un-
willing man: The culprit is stripped
70 the waist, and then boiling oil il
dicked on his back. This seldom fails

are the chief forms Of "fahana," or tor

A Coming Great Event.

Never before in the history Of Grand
Junction has there been such turn OF
the tide in social circles in favor OF the
dances a. there has been the past few
months. There has been no week since
Prof. Sam Flint opened his dancing
academy here in August that there has
not been at least one dance and one
week there were ten.
Phers has been nothing which has
done go much toward the promotion OF
harmony and good feeling among the
citizens, as has this fact. The young
people and the older ones have mingled
together. There has been no clannish-
ness. Cliques have besn broken up. In
fact the balls have been source OF the
purest enjoyment for those who 60.
There is not person who lived in this
city year ago who docs not remember
this May Day ball, with the beautiful
May Pole drill, given by the Women Of
Weodcraft. The event has been made
an annual ossursnce and this year will
even eclipse tho one OF 80. as the ladies
are already out in their might getting
things ready for their ball. They have
chosen for their motto "A good time for
every one" and you can bank on it that
they mean just what they say.

Herr Johann Most, the white-haired and

Is a unique Observation-Disclosures in ideas

bar room of the Germania cafe yesterday

startling ideas of government, or. rather
of lack<of government, to Post-lnteili-
gencer reporter He speaks very broken
English.
DO you believe in revolution by force

.'Yaw," answered the great anarchist
Iaconically. and then he paused a moment
before answering farther Every zensi-
bic man beliefs in revolution. Bloodshed
is the only way to pring apout change
in the existing order of tings. Every great
movement in behalf of humanity since der

''Workingmen of all countries arise and
emancipate yourselvesp
Most Is "a years old. he says, but he
looks at least twenty years older. His
white hairs are to be explained on the
theory that he has been in over 100 iails
during the course of his life. In every
country frf- Europe he has been imprisoned
for preaching the gospel of revolution by
bomb and bullet. Finally, continental Eu-
rope became too hot for him. and he fled
to England. He delivered one OF his char
acteristic speeches on the streets of Lon
don. and was promptly arrested and i'm
prisoned for blasphemy.
After his release from prison he came
to America. The New York police sent
him to Blackwell's island for incendiary
talk, but of late years he has been un-
molested. He claims to be an American
citizen.
He is short of stature and dresses in
somber black, although his rabId talk
gives the impression that he wears a red
undershirt. As one listens to him there
comes an uncomfortable suspicion into the
mind that somewhere about his capacious
pockets he has few bombs stored ready
for instant use.

Liberty for the working man was the
end to which all should strive.
Government and liberty. he asserted,

Revolution he declared was necessary TO
