a favor by telling me what TO do.
Answer; IL was bad policy TO use a red
hot iron TO get rid OF the proud flesh. A
better plan would be 10 cauterize the
PARTS with nitrate OF silver or blue Vitriol.
Keep the wound clean by bathing in cas-
tile soap suds and then use glycerine
eight ounces and carbolic acid one
drachm. mixed and applied twice
daily. Keep the wound bandaged and the
animal confined in a dry clean stall. Pow
dered calomel is also good to cure proud
flesh and TO heal up all affected parts.

A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.
A Scheme to Bring About Political Emancipa'
tiou In Russia.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
st. Petersburg, July 24th.-Oswobosh-
denia, the Liberal newspaper established
in Stuttgart by the exile Peter Won
Struvo to bring about political emanci-
patton of Russia, has appeared in print,
BY far the most important article is
From the Russian Constitutionalists.'
This is a carefully elaborated program
of peaceful revolution, which provides
that the first demand must be for:
First. Personal freedom, guaranteed
by Independent courts, and consequently
abandonment of arbitrary arrests and in
quisitions, of administrative banishment,
extraordinary courts and summary
trials.
Second. Equality of all before the
laws and consequently abandonment of
all class, racial or religious discrimlna-
tion. These elementary rights. the pro-
gram continues, require as guarantees
the freedom of the press, including aboli-
tion of the censorship and the rcsponsi-
bility of the press to the courts alone;
the freedom of assemblage and associa
ton, and the right of petition.
The first step in the practical program
must be a constituent assembly repre-
senting all classes of the people to work
out an electoral scheme. Legal reforms
would remain to be discussed in and
brought about by representative elec-
tive assembly, chosen in accordance with
the expressed determination of the con-
stituent assembly

GRAND LODGE OF ELKS
6. F. Cronk is Elected Grand
Exalted Ruler.
Eight thousand EIks From Every State in the
Union Gathered at Salt Lake
CITY.
(By the Associated Press.)

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug 12-G. f.
Cronk, of Omaha, was elected Grand
Exalted Ruler of the Grand Lodge of
Elks; w. B. Brock, of Lexington, KY,
was elected Grand Leading knight, and
Judge j. G. Pickens, of Denver, was
elected Grand Loyal knight by accla-
nation.
Eight thousand Elks from every State
Yin the Union gathered in the great
tabernacle of the Mormon church to-
day to attend the formal opening of
the annual reunion of the Grand Lodge.
Preceding the opening meeting was the
civic and military parade which marked
the formal opening of the three days
union. In this were included a bat
talon of infantry and two batteries of
artillery from Fort Douglass, and troop
of cavalry and battery A, light artil-
lery, National Guard of Utah. Then
came uniformed members of all Utah
lodges of Elks and dozens OF other civic,
military and fraternal organizations in
uniform, accompanied by score of bands
and many picturesque floats.
The exercises at the auditorium were
brief, though impressive. After prayer
and selection of the great organ, Grand
Exalted Ruler Pickett, of Waterloo,
Iowa, delivered bis annual address,
which was largely eulogistic of the aims
and work of the Elks. He said:
"The portals Of Elkdom are thrown
wide to all manly applicants 1t draws
no distinctions. In the republicanism of
our government and democracy Of our
ideas, all are equal Our order is con-
structive and not destructive The
spirit of inconoclasm dwells not within
its circle. 1t molests no temple, desc
crates no altar, profanes no sanctuary.
1t robs no man of his faith attacks no
creed, criticises no sect. 1t shadows no
dawn, darkens no hope, saddens no love.
1t does not seek to supplant the church
or usurp its functions. Its religion is
humanity. It's creed is friendship, it's
golden rule the love of fellow men"

SLAIN BY CHICAGO THUGS.
Two officers Have Battle With Them and
Are Killed.
(By the Associated Press }


Chicago, Aug. 12.-Officers Timothy
Divine and Charles T. PennelI, patrol
men of the Chicago Police Department
were killed here early today in re-
volver battle with what is supposed to
have been gang of thugs. Much mys-
terry surrounds the shooting, for both
men died before an adequate account of
the shooting could be obtained, Divine
in the ambulance on the way to the hos
pital and Pennell on the operating table
while surgeons were probing for bull
lets.
The fight occurred just before dawn
near Jackson boulevard and Ashland ave-
nue. in the aristocratic section of the
Westside. The fusilade of shots aroused
the entire neighborhood. Citizens who
heard the dying policemen groan rushed
to their assistance and saw men running
away. Officer Pennell heroically stag
gered a hundred feet to a patrol box and
sent in an alarm for assistance At once
the police set a drag net for all suspici-
Gus characters and soon had six men in
custody. Before Pennell died he was
able to gasp out few words about "rob-
ters,' giving descriptions of two men.
