DOUKHOBORS ARE CRAZY.
Colonization Agent Speers Says We
Can DO Nothing with Them.


YORKTOWN, n. w. t, Oct. 31.-Coloni-
cation Agent Speers to-day made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the Douk-
hobor situation: ST think it is beyond pow
er or reason to parley with the Doukho-
bors any longer. Exhaustion, hunger and
sleeplessness have rendered their condition
such that they can no longer be reasoned
with. / have worked night and day with
the misguided people and must confess de-
feat so far as inducing them to return to
their homes is concerned. One thing is GER
tain. The Doukhobors must be taken care
Of 1t is impossible to predict the outcome.
II seems to me that force now is necessary.
If disaster is to be prevented the frenzied
Russians must at once be induced 10 aban-
don their mad march. l can suggest no
method to bring this about"
Two of the women are now hopeless luna
tics. The men slept in bitches and on rail-
way tracks last night and trains had TO be
run with care in the district where the
Doukhobors are on the march.

Mercury's Apology.

The Mercury is compelled to
forgive Col. Dick HiXson Of the
Monroe DEMOCRAT again. We
tried to say something nice of
the Metropolis, but he refuses
all proffers Of amity in true Ro'
man fashion. A visit to Paris,
in which he is a stranger, is the
only means we know of to rid
his mind OF those fearful and
awful impressions regarding
the county seat. Provincialism
doesn't become a denizen OF a
metropolis. He must drop these
suspicious indications of rustic
ity and become cosmopolitan. A
trip to the county seat and a
good look at the court house at
close quarters will help him
wonderfully.-Paris Mercury -
