Ii raised a regiment of home troops, with
which he harassed the rebel army, hang

why Tolstoi Turned Peasant.

The earlier reformers had regarded
the Russian peasantry as so much val
liable raw material, which would dis
play all its true value when impreg-
mated with revolutionary, moral and
political ideas, says writer in the Re-
view of Reviews. Tolstoi never ha6
anything to do with revolution; and in
morals he found a better standard
among the peasants than anywhere
else. He was convinced tht culture had
nothing to do with morality, and he
became therefore a pupil rather than
a master in the great peasant school.
1t is plainly that which differentiates
Tolstoi from the hundreds of other edu-
Gated Russians who devote their lives
to the people and earn in return moth
ing better than the reputation of "char-
acters," and the benevolent contempt
of peasants who do not understand
them and whom they do not under
stand. But Tolstoi found not only his
ethical but also his aesthetic doctrines
realized among the people. The COM
mon life, he says, is not only the basis
of all true morals, but of all true art.
What cannot be understood by the SIM
plest he argues again and again, Is not
true art. Art requires no comment
airy; it is infective in its nature; and If
it is not, it is not true art. It is a
means of communion" "a condition of
human life"

NEW PENSIONS ARE INCREASED.
Bureaus Report Shows Large Percent
age Seeking Enrolment.


In his annual report the Commissioner
of Pensions discusses at length the faults
of the present system of pensioning and
the difficulties in the way of determining
the merits of claims for pension and in
crease.
The report presents a number of inter
esting features connected with the filing
of claims for pension on account of the
war with Spain and the instruction in
the Philippine Islands. 1t is shown that
the soldiers of these wars enjoy much
greater benefits than were accorded to
the soldiers of the Civil War In 1895
the minimum pension was established at
SO per month. Nearly 100000 soldiers Of
the Civil War received from 81 to 81 per
month from 1865 to 1895, and disabil-
ity from loss of arm or leg, which now
entities the soldier to $40 per month,
gave him only SIS per month in 1865.
While the Civil War lasted for four
years and the casualties were enormous,
and the Spanish war lasted
only about four months, with compare
lively few casualties, it is shown that
three years after the close Of the Span
ish-American war, claims for pension
amounting to about 20 per cent of the
number Of soldiers engaged in that war
had been filed, while in 1872, or seven
years after the close of the Civil War,
only about per cent of the soldiers en-
gagged in that war had filed claims.
The Commissioner says that he is not
prepared to believe that those who en-
gagged in the war with Spain, many of
them sons Of veterans of the Civil War,
were less patriotic than their ancestors or
more coyetous, but in his opinion it is the
fault of the system of pensioning, with
its active army of attorneys, solicitors
and drummers, who are practically Ii
censed by the government with the prom
Use of $50 for each claim allowed.
Attention is directed to the friction and
unklnd feeling that attends the admins
tration of the act of Aug. I, 1882, which
provides that the open wrong-doing of a
widow pensioner shall operate to termi-
nate her pension. The absence of such
a law, 1t is stated, would encourage and
permit such pensioners to dishonor the
memory of their soldier husbands, while
still enjoying the bounty Of the govern
ment, and, on the other hand. the widow
who respects the law and marries loses
her pension. The Commissioner saws
that, while the law is a most delicate and
difficult one to administer, yet he cannot
recommend its repeal.
In January, 1900, a rule was adopted
requiring guardians of pensioners to rem
der to the bureau annual accounts. The
rule was followed by disclosures which
in some instances We're of startling ma
ture. Guardians were found to be draw
ing pensions long after the death Of their
wards. Many cases were found where
insane pensioners had been placed in asy-
Iums and other public institutions as in
dlgent persons, while the guardians had
drawn the pensions during the whole Pc
Iiod.

WOOL SELLING LOW.
Buyers Will Come West to Buy Ten
Cent Wool.

F. l.. Summers, one of the largest
and most prominent sheep raisers of
Yellowstone county, has just returned
from a trip to st. Paul, where he
spent several weeks looking after a
lot of sheep that he was feeding at the
New Brighton yards for the eastern
market.
Mr.. Summers disposed of his sheep
just as DON as he was able to do so
at a lair profit. he reports that many
feeders will lose money on account
of the big price they are having to
pay for feed.
1t is a common occurrence to hear
of watered railroad, gas or mining
stock, but watered wool is the lat
est. yet Mr.. Summers says this is
what he sold at 1917 cents per pound,
his sheep having been sheared dur
ing a wet season, which left consider
able water in the wool. The wool out
look is anything but encouraging ac-
cording to the statements OF Mr.. Sum-
mers. He says that buyers at st. Paul
talk 10 and 12-cent wool, and every
thing begins to look as though their
predictions will come true. The buy
ers will come west this season pre-
pared to buy wool at prices ranging
from 9 to II cents, and failing in this
will turn their attention to consign-

IOBBING ESTABLISHMENT TO
LOCATE IN BILLINGS.
BACKED BYoMAHA CONCERN
Will Make Bid for Trade of This
Secti0n-Will Erect
Building.

The Gazette learns on reliable
authority that arrangements are being
made looking to the establishment of
a branch jobbing house in this city
by a large Omaha concern. The mat
ter is tar enough advanced to insure
the establishment of the new enter
prise, which will doubtless take place
in the course of the next lew months.
The new house will handle groceries
mostly, but will probably carry other
lines as we'll. 1t is proposed to go
into the business on a large scale,
and as the firm behind the enterprise
is one of the largest in Omaha, it
will have any amount of financial
backing. The erection Of a fine large
building at some convenient location
to both lines Of ral1road is contem-
plated, and a representative of the
c is expected to arrive in Bill
ings shortly to close all arrangements.
This about by reason of Oma-
ha wholesalers not having been able
to get into this territory, being crowd
ed out by St. Paul and Minneapolis
houses. They propose to make a bid
for the business of this section ami
will go after it in a manner that betok-
ems success. They claim to be able to
get their goods into this section of
the northwest in as short a time, if
not some shorter, than the dealers of
Minnesota.
It is thought that the advent Of this
house means but the start for others,
which will shortly follow. 1t mas been
commended for several years that Bill
ings would make a splendid wholesale
and jobbing center, owing to the vast
territory surrounding it IN every side
for a hundred miles or more. which is
at present receiving it's supplies from
this point. The railroad and freight
ing accommodations at present ale
very good, but they are soon to be
greatly improved by the addition of
one or more railroad lines out from
points near Billings. The B~urlington's
Toluca-Cody branch, which will be
completed by September l, will open a
splendid area of country that must be
supplied from n point o. other. If
Billings is not able to do this and COM
pete with eastern markets, then the
Omaha. Kansas City and Chicago
wholesalers will cover the territory to
the detriment of this city.
Then again, it is believed that it will

road Billings received the benefit of
the trade.

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, April 24.-The American
wool and Cotton Reporter will say of
the wool market tomorrow: Aside
from the liberal purchases of fine
Australian wool and Ohio delaine,
made at the very beginning of the
week under review by a we'll known
mill, which practically cleans up the
supply of wash stock in this market,
the trade has been very dull and has
proved locally to have but few features
of interest. The sales referred to
consisted of something like 1900 bales
of Australian, which were taken, it
was reported, at prices ranging from
80 to33 cents. equal to a clean cost of
60 and 81 cents. The delaine woods
amounted to about $4,000 pounds and
the prices paid are understood to have
been 28@29c.
These sales reflect the tendency Of
the market toward fine which are re
latively much stronger than me-
dunn and low woods, and they indi-
cate the confidence of the consumers
in this class of stock on which prices
are firmly held. Taking the market
as a whole the purchasing has beeL
mostly of a piecing out character. There
is no disposition to anticipate future
requirements to any great extent and
no speculation tendency is noticeable.
While trading may be very dull, the
tone of the market as far as prices
are concerned is very steady. \
The sales for the week in Boston
amounted to 2,501, 900 pounds domes-
tic and $50, 900 pounds foreign, making
a total of 1921, 600, against a total of
4,10S, 900 for the previous week and a
total of 1886, 900 for the correspond
ing week last year. The sales since
January 1, amount to 76, 900 pounds
against 50. 1O9, 300 pounds for the cor
responding time last year.

EXPLOSION CAUSED 81 FIRE.
Eye Witnesses Tells Of Jackson's
Frightful Accident.

C. P. Hardy, whose home is at Climb
ing Hill, Ia, one Of the men who were
nearby when the accident occurred
to Sam Jackson, the freighter, Sunday,
at a point about 25omiles south Of Bill
ings, has reached the city on his way
east. Mr.. Hardy has been working for
the McShane Bros, al their grading
camp and was on his way to this city
when the explosion took place.
Accompanied by another grader
they had come up to where Jackson
was camped win his outfit. He says
Jackson had built a fire to cook his
noon meal, locating it only about 20
feet from his rear wagon, which con
tanned the powder, and it is supposed
that the explosion was caused from
sparks from the fire, as the wind had
been blowing quite a gale during the
time the fire was located there. Hardy
and his companion stopped to talk to
Jackson, who vas getting his horses
ready to continue his journey, and
while so engaged the former noticed
that smoke was issuing from the trail
wagon. He called Jackson's attention
to the fact, when the latter ran to the
wagon and jumped on the real steps,
raising the canvas covering, and as he
did SO received the full force of the
explosion. Jackson Immediately ran
towards a creek nearby and threw him.
self in, but the wafer was not deep
enough to afford him any relief.
Getting Out he started back towards
the wagons to catch the horses which
had been badly frightened by the ex-
plosion. The wagons had caught fire
and all the men turned their attention
to putting out the blaze. as we4l as
drawing them out Of danger. When
this was accomplished Jackson start
ed for the Smith road ranch, about
two miles distant. After reaching
Smiths place Jackson learned that the
mar had just started for Billings. He
then gave a man So, all the money he
had, to pilot him to Mark Newman's
ranch, several miles further on. After
reaching there the man demanded 500
more from Jackson, but Mr.. Newman
interfered. Mr.. Newman then hitcheu
up a team and brought the unfortu-
nate mar to me city.
The f%reighting outfit, which be-
longs to Mrs. Geo. Davidson of this
city, was badly damaged. One of the
horses was singed all over, and two
others scorched. The trail wagon was
almost a complete loss. The contents
which were the property of McShane
Bros, and valued at about $500, were
completely destroyed. Mr.. McShane
has sent word to Mrs. Davidson that
he will not hold her responsible for
the loss.
Jackson, who is in a serious con-
dition at st. Vincent's hospital, was
resting comfortably yesterday. His
most severe injuries consist of the
burns on his arms and face. He was
able to see yesterday and an exam
ination of his eyesight leads the at
tending physician to believe that he
will not experience any trouble from
that source.
