INSTIGATEO THE MASSACRE
Russian Newspaper Bessarabetz Given
Blame by jews.

Russian Newspaper Researches Given
Blame by jews.
st. Petersburg,-Ther Is virtual
unauimity Of opinion in the press,
barring the Anti-Semetic papers,
that the author OF the strained re-
lations and Of the ritual murder cal
umnies was tho newspaper BessaIa-
betz. A petition of the Jewish COM
munity Of Kiseneff to the director OF
the department Of police, Lopeon-
kiln in pointing this out says:
I'm Bessarabia generally, and In
Kishineff particularly. there we're no
strained relations between Jews and
Christians until very recent date.
This Is explained by the peaceful
and orderly character OF the local
population and the comparative
prosperity Of the province. During
twenty years or more there had been
NJ conflict whatever between the two
elements Of the population, and when
Jews were being pilIaged all through
out south and southwest Russia the
ordinary peaceful life Of Bessarabia
remained uudisturbed.
"The Jewish society named the Bes.
sarabetz, was the direct instigator
of the trouble. This newspaper was
established five years ago the report
stated.
"Until its appearance there ives no
organ of the press. 1t therefore
found virgin soil and from the be-
ginning had tremendous influence.
In it's second year the Bsssarbetz be-
gan a regular and systematic batting

Jew-b batting become it's recognized
speciality. This has long been known
every reader Of the Russian news
paper, scarcely month passing with
out the citation Of some anti Semetic
utterance Of this newspaper by other
papers.
"We could quote articles" the re-
port continued, (which amounted to
simple call for the extra ion of
the Jews en- masse.
The Jew community went on to
say that the local censorship, admi-
nistered by the vice governor, evil
IDENTIFY approved the course OF the
Bessarbetz and directed attention to
the persistent refusal OF the st.
Petersburg press administration to
permit the establishment OF any 9TH
err at Kishineif. The Bessarabetz
continued preaching death to the
Jews" or "all Jews should be killed
off," until the massacre, It's attacks
eliminating In the accusation Of
"ritual murder"
The Jewish conn. unity established
these facts and then related that
leaflets were handed about the
streets and posted In cheap restau-
rants and tea houses stating that
"the car has decided to kill the
Jews during the first three days OF

does not prevent the animal from eat

PLANTATION is necessary about this har-
ness, for the cut shows how it is made
and adjusted, The essential feature
is to have the strap back of the fore
legs adjusted tightly enough so that
the animal can not slip it over her
head. 1t must also come close enough
to the fOrelegs so that there will be no
chance of its slipping. The harness
should be made of heavy leather well
Joined with rivets. The expense of
such a harness as shown is small and
several of them can be made If neces-
sary so that any and all of the pig
eaters may readily be kept from doing
mischief.

A Thing to Do.

Another thing we general farmers
ought to do, and that is set out more
forest trees. Did you notice the story
of that old walnut bridge in Indiana
that certain company wanted 80 bad
ly that they were willing to put up a
good steel bridge in the place of It?
The wood, they thought, would be
worth more than the steel bridge. And
the men who controlled the walnut
bridge refused the offer. Now, this
state Of affairs is likely to continue.
Our forests are vanishing, and unless
you and 1, the general farmers of the
country, get right down to business
and plant trees the day is near at hand
when fencing and building material
will be worth almost as much as gold.
Every farm ought to be turned into a
little forestry station. We can easily
get the seeds of such trees as are in
digenous to our locality and plant
them. Time will do the rest, and some
day the world will thank us for doing
what we did.-Up-toDate Farming.

The result was that April bank clearings
In the country. as a whole. were only a

l2.3 per cent smaller than those of April
a year ago, and 20 per cent less than
those of April, 1901. when cIearings
were approaching high water mark. 1t
Is to be noted. however. that the great
er part of this shrinkage Is due to re-
duced totals at New York city. Com
pared with April year ago, New York
city's total is 20 per cent smaller, and
compared with April. 1901, the month
just closed shows falling off of 81 per

found in the decrease of SO per cent In
