SPlRITUALlSTS SEEK
TO CONVERT T0LSTOI.
In Vain TO Persuade Them to
Leave Him in Peace.

HERAiD AND THE ST. Louis REPUBLIC.
St. Petersburg. March s.-(Copyright,
1so3.)-Mention has been made of the wor-
ries of Count Leo Tolstoi with the artists
who insisted on painting him insufficiently
clad.
But to-day letters from Moscow tell Of
the great writer being prosecuted in q
much moro serious manner. It is by the
Spiritualists.
The story is as follows: About thirty
miles out OF London several ardent Spir-
itualists have formed sort of colony.
basing their mode Of living upon that OF
Count TolstoL That is to say, they live
upon the simplest kinds Of things, largely
a vegetarian diet and abstain from all al
coholio drinks. They also dress with a
rigid simplicity. which they copy from
Count Tolstoi In fact, Count Tolstoi Is
their deity.
But that company of Spiritualists at a
given moment had a misgiving: Was or
was not Count Tolstoi one of them? Tho
spirits babe them go and ask this very
important question. Two Of the most ia
natical and impressive of their number
Mr.. Ferris md Mr.. Crowe-started off at
once to Yasnaia Palernia. where Count
Tolstoi lives In the neighborhood of Mos
cow, and there found hospitality in the
house Of one of Count Tolstois friends.
The author received them coolly, but
with a certain degree OF patience at FIRST.
He listened to their statements and firmly
avowed that he was not a Spiritualist nor
had he ever thought of being one.
This did not daunt the two Spiritualists.
They started In to convert Tolstoi. But the
Count has a particularly strong will of
his own. and finally he lost patience. tell
ing them virtually to get out and not both
er him.
They consulted the spirits. who most
strongly repudiated the idea, and told them
to stop there, and to bring about change
in Count Tolstois thought According to
the latest report. Count Tolstoi has be-
come very angry now. and will not see
the English Spiritualists at all These. how
ever, hold on, and what is more. when
Count Tolstois friends, upon whom they
are living. suggest their leaving their re-
ply Is, the spirits tell them to remain.
And there the trouble stands, and the
Englishmen are. SO to speak, with their
backs to the wall and showing all possible
fight, while Count Tolstoi Is seeking to get
rid of them by some means other.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Feb. 10.
-Threemen are dead as the result of
being buried beneath falling rock and
earth in the Gypsy Queen mine. one
of the Gordon group. near Death val
ley, is the report which has reached
here.
1t appears that the men had been
sent into the shaft to replace the
timbers which had been damaged by
an explosion several weeks before
and that they attempted to use some
of the timbers already in the shaft,
contrary to orders.
Before they had the big uprights
and cross pieces well braced one side
of the shaft caved in, and the tim
bers being unable to hold the weight
broke, burying the men beneath rock
and earth.
When dug from the ruins all were
dead. Their names are Gus Hervey,
George Thomas and Henry Phillips.
1t is stated that in the explosion of
dynamite which wrecked the shaft a
man named Styles was killed.

ONE MILLION
FEET OF LOGS.

That the lumber industry is thriv-
ing in this city can readily be seen
by looking at the boom of the Saw
Mill Phoenix below Front avenue.
There logs are damned together as
close as they can be packed, extend
ing In line for nearly three blocks.
Over 100000 feet of Logs are in
the boom. The saw mill officials say
they are taxed to the utmost to keep
up with their orders.
The logs come from Springdale on
the Spokane Falls 4 Northern and
are slid into the water from the cars
up by the Division street bridge. They
then commence their journey down
the boom, which only ends when the
big grapples catch them and haul
them up to the mill.
An official of the mill said yester-
day they We're saving from 10000
to $4,000 feet of lumber a day. This
will be increased when the weather
moderates and the logs thaw out.

Nelan, a young engineer who regis
tered from Pittsburg, made a desper-
ate attempt at suicide in the Titlow
hotel. Nelan was cheerful and pleas
ant, and chatted and joked at the
dinner table, giving no sign that he
contemplated taking his life.
Shortly afterward he went to his
room, and it was not long until the
guests were startled by pistol shot.
The clerk and others rushed upstairs
and saw Nelan stagger from his
room and fall in the hall at the head
of the stairway.
Nothing was found in his room ex-
cept a scrap of paper on which Nelan
had written: Telegraph to Mrs. W.

kid Fredericks and Dude"
Lewis, who meet in a 10-round con-
test before the S. A. A. C. next
Wednesday are getting down to good
solid training. The kid" and his
brother are both hard at work put
ting in good ticks on the road and
in the gymnasium. Lewis is possibly
a few pounds overweight, but he can
easily make the required limit when
he gets in few days more of train
ing. Fredericks appears in the very
pink of condition and ready to put
up the battle of his career Neither
man is troubled with overconfidence,
but both have voiced their determi-
nation to put up a contest that will
be the best possible. That it will
be fast go can not be gainsaid. At
their last match in Wardner, Idaho,
these two put up the fastest contest
seen in the Occur d'Alenes for some
time. Although the kid thumped
land in the right spot and Lewis was
UP at the finish. The muscular de-
velopment of the latter is nil until his
shoulders are reached. but these and
his arms are well pcs up. For legs
the darkey has pins that would put
a crane to flight. But the staying
powers of these "shanks" are not
to be overlooked and the part they
play in sending in that graceful"
left lab is an important one.
The training of the two men is
somewhat similar-road work in the
morning, boxing, wrestling. punching
the bag and general gymnasium work
in the afternoon. Many small wagers
have been made, but as yet no big
money has been placed. Odds slightly
favor Fredericks, although a few are
betting that Lewis will get the de-
cision. The limited number of rounds
makes the betting for knockout
slow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - The

China. The ship was wrecked in the
south Pacific and O'Keefe was cast
ashore on the island of zap. The
island Us inhabited by a cannibal
tribe. but O'Keefe soon made friends
with the king of the island and his
life was spared. He soon built him
