 Nor would we make . mistake if we should select such men as Es- quire J. B. Sanders, John {. F. Cowan or Squire German. for county judge, pr. Beauchaup or E. Fogg as assessor.

While it is true the doctor lives in Madison township now, we are proud to claim the doctor as our candidate.

Russia Has Holy
Four Billion
Fund.

and an overwhelming majority OF Rus
SLAMS already are affiliated with that
church. The church comes into every
thing, and the church finds large por-
ton of that golden horde which Is be-
Ing laid away against the days OF Ar
mageddon. Every member OF the Of
fetal class contributes weekly to the
church, and this "tchin," or official
section, Is the largest professional
class in the country. 1t numbers mil
lions. Every Russian hungers to be-
come "tchinovnik" OF some grade or
other. But all OF this vast number
must be of the Greek church, except
under some privileged exceptions. The
weekly Offering to the church never
fails. 1t is contributed by the car, by
the mobiles, by the soldiers, and by
every individual employed by the gov
eminent in any capacity whatever. Be-
sides this is to be reckoned the stream
of treasure poured in dolly by all other
classes, including the poorest mou1ik.
The revenues from the sale of holy
candles alone amount to fabulous
sum. The expenditure of the Russian
church does not absorb half OF the
amount of her revenues, and all that
can be spared goes into the Holy Gold
Fund.
1t is estimated that half of the an
nual additions to the gold fund come
from the mines and half from the Of
fering to the church. The fact that
the church is the collector and custo-
dian of the great war fund makes the
Procurator of the Holy Synod and Min
lister of Religion as important man in
the financial affairs of the empire as
the minister of finance himself.
a Lesson of Moscow.
The collection of this fund was be-
gun In its present form after the
burning of Moscow by Napoleon, and
ever since it has been one of the great
aims of the government. The growth
of church wealth and the development
Of mining have combined to pile up
the increment. A quarter of century
ago the fund amounted to $3.50, 900, 900.
It is supposed now to amount to S4,-
100000. A singular thing is that
not a copeck of this Holy Gold Fund
was touched to meet the expense of
the Crimean war. The effect of lock-
ing up this vast amount of money must
effect materially the prosperity OF
Russia, and it is no wonder that she

SKUNK FARMS DO NOT PAY.
onicisl Report on the Subject TO the
Secretary of Agriculture.

Omciai Report on the Subject to tho
Secretary OF Agriculture.
"A newspaper story OF the profits
made by raising skunks for their skins
is giving officials of the agricultural
department no end of trouble. 1t first
bobbed up about a year ago. 1t set
forth that the agricultural depart
ment had been studying skunk cul-
ture, and had found that the beasts
were more profitable than a gold mine.
AS a result OF the story the department
has received many letters OF inquiry.
T. s. Palmer, assistant chief OF the
biological survey, wants to correct this
misapprehension. In report to Sec
rotary Wilson he says: "Misled by the
statements about the rapid increase of
skunks and the high prices paid for
their skins, many persons seriously
considered starting skunk farms. For

such farms located in various parts of

FOR WAR

Russia generally is looked upon as a
hard up" nation, always lowering on
.he verge OF bankruptcy, and the state
OF her finances is pointed to as a rea-
son why she will not seek fight with
another nation. Russia has, however,
one great source of supply whence she
can draw gold enough to furnish all
the "sinews of war" needful for any
fight she may see fit to go into. The
Holy Gold Fund" is one of the mys-
teries of the great northern empire.
With II, some students of Russian af
fairs say, she can afford better to incur
the enormous expenditure of cam
paign than Germany, Austria or
France. 1t is said to be the largest Sc
cret gold deposit on earth, some esti-
mates placing the amount as high as
$4,000,0O0,000. In comparison with this
immense sum the 100000 which

canoe. Though the car is master Of
this great war chest he, himself, prob
ably, does not know just how much it
contains. The fund has been piling
up for many years and is increasing
quietly every day. When the periodi-
cal famine comes in Central Russia 1t
is found that nothing has been done in
the afflicted provinces which should
have been done by paternal govern
ment. Roads should have been kept in
order and stores accumulated. But
that would have necessitated trenching
upon the revenues OF the Holy Gold
Fund, and the war chest must have it's
dues whatever happens. Various agen-
cies, public and private, are set on foot
to assist the starving moujik, but the
harm has been done. Not single CO.

out of the Holy Gold Fund.

There are two sets of sources from
which the revenue of the gold fund are
derived, the civil sources and the &C.

TIE Last
Confederate
Flag

While at Eagle Pass, Texas, a
while ago, a dramatic incident of the
civil war about which histories give
little or nothing was recalled to the
writer by old-time residents of the
historic place. 1t was the burial of a
Confederate flag in the Rio Grande at
that point by southern soldiers. 1t
was not the work of traitors to their
cause, but of a small band of men,
who, distressed by defeat and know
ing nothing else to do, tenderly and
pathetically buried the flag they had
fought for as they would a gallant
comrade, and crossed over into Mexico
in quest of battle.
Gen. Shelby and his men, nearly all
natives of Missouri, acquired no spe-
cial distinction in the war. They were
at Pittsburg, Tex, when the surrender
of Lee occurred at Appomattox. The
men were greatly depressed and dis
couraged and after their journey to
Marshall they separated, some return
ing to their homes in the south, while
about 500 concluded to follow Shelby,
march into Mexico and join one of the
two armies then engaged in that
country. These men were much de-
voted to Shelby and declared that
nothing but death would separate
them.
Their remarkable march was made

Rio Grande by
Shelby;s Men

through Corsicana, Waco, Austin and
San Antonio to Eagle Pass. Here, in
the early part of July, 1865, they ex-
pected to cross the Rio Grande, but
while taking rest planted their guns
bearing upon the Mexican town of
Piedras-Negras. Governor Biesca, in
formed of this action, FASTENED to the
border, anticipating a battle with
American troops. Learning of their in
tention, he importuned General Shelby
TO take command of the two states,
Leon and Coahuila, but after talking
the matter over with his men Shelby
decided not to help Governor Biesca,
but to give their support to the Lib
eral army.
1t was decided, however, before their
march was begun, in a council on the
morning of July 4, 1865, to unfurl the
tattered flag they had carried through
out their campaign and bury it in the
depths of the Rio Grande. The torn
banner was spread out and held for
some time by Colonies Elliott, Gordon,
Slayback and Blackwell, and the gen.
arel pressed it to his lips. In row
boats they took it out over the smooth.
glittering surface of the water, and,
with uncovered heads and few words
by the general and his comrades, the
last Confederate flag to float in the
air was lowered beneath its depths.

IMITATION THUNDERSTORMS


1t is stated that imitation thunder
storms produced by electricity gener-
ated by Niagara Falls will be one of
the features of the Buffalo exposition.
This will be nice IL the imitation is
properly regulated. 1t will not do to
let any of the lightning bolts get loose
and go seeking the mother earth
through a crowd of spectators. Some
people might get unduly electrified.
Then the thunder problem would be
difficult to solve. Thunder must be
produced on a big scale for such a
storm as would thrill the Planners.
