Want Preaching.

The village of Richmond in
Franklin county has been without
the advantages of the gospel for
number of years, and it occur
red to the residents recently that
it would be a good thing to have
the gospel proclaimed in that vi
cinity. Even the Salvation Army
and the Mormon Elders have
been passing by on the other
side. AS an inducement, the
young people held a festival last
week which netted them $5O
which they propose to spend for
preaching. A correspondent
writes Public Opinion as follows;
"We are not particular as to sect
or denomination bat as our treas
rer-elect says we now have $50
to pay out and will pay according
to the preaching or service rem
dered. Minister'S adjacent, not
over-worked, would do well To
keep an eye on Richmond"

Gar Completely Unnerved Owing to

LONDON, March ga dispatch from
st. Petersburg says that in consonance
with what is believed to be the czar's
expressed wish, the minister of the in
terror has published instructions for the
authorities Of the towns and provinces
recommending repressive measures
against disturbances as being more
effective than repression after disturb
ances have broken out.
The Birmingham Post, which is in
touch with Mr.. Cham berlain, says news
in high quarters i'll London indicates
that the czar is i'll a very nervous state
owing to the condition of the political
horizon. 1t is said that he fears the re-
suit of the policy Of his ministers in the
far east, while the student troubles and
threats against his life, of which there
are more than have been published,
have completely unnerved his majesty.
His medical advisers have strongly
counselled a yachting cruise, but the
czar has refused to follow their advice.
Those behind the scenes in Russia take
a very grave view of the present agita.

more serious troubles.

THE WORK OF RELIEF

Citizens Subscribe $4,000 For the
Immediate Wants of Those Unfor-

of the Tornado.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 26. - To-
days efforts in the storm stricken por
tlon of Birmingham are being directed
towards giving relief to those who lost
all by the fury of the tornado. Troops
guarded the devastated district last
night and fremen and policemen con-
tinued to search the ruins, but no more
dead bodies were found and SO far as
has been learned up to $3.50 o'clock no
additional deaths have occurred.
Mayor Drennen, who Is directing the
relief work, estimates that $4,000 will
relieve the immediate wants of the suf-
ferers. The larger part of this has al
ready been raised among citizens and a
citizens meeting was held at noon to
raise the remainder and to more per-
fectly organize the distribution of the
relief funds. AS the larger number of
the losers are negroes and the poorer
class of whites, the suffering among
many of them has been acute.
Just how many people were hurt IN
the storm will probably never be known.
Many who sustained trihing injuries
paid no heed to their wounds in their
anxiety to save their scattered house
hold effects and to look after the dead
and more seriously wounded. The
names of about 80 wounded have been
obtained, but this is thought to be only
about half the number who were really
hurt, The property loss is estimated by
some as high as $500, 900. The death
list in Birmingham and vicinity stands
