OPERATIONS AGAIN OPENED
Macedonlans Instructed to Take Up
Arms Against Enemy.

Arms Against Enemy.
A telegram received at Sofia. Bulga-
ria, from the camp OF Genera Cont
chef. the commander-in-chief Of the
Macedonian insurgents at RaZlog, fifty
five miles from Sofia, that
a general uprising has been proclaimed
In the districts OF Razlog, Nevrokop.
Demirhissar, Melnik and Sores, and
that all the insurgent bands Of East
ern Macedonia had received direct Or
ders to begin operations.
The chief hope OF the revolutionary
organization now conters in the out
break in Eastern Macedonia. which 10
expected TO assume considerable pro-
portions, as the leaders there are all
officers of the Bulgarian reserve. This.
the sympathizcrs with the Macedonian
cause hope, will rouse Il wal feexo < In
the Bulgarian army and force the gov
eminent to espouse the Macedonian
cause.
A dispatch from the Rilo monastery
says the town of Razlog has been in
flames since Sunday night. The in
| surgents are attacking Butchevo, and
severe fighting is reported between the
| insurgent bands and the Turkish
troops. The sound of artillery is said
| to be plainly heard at Rio.
Another fight is reported near Okri-
| da, twenty-eight miles from Monastir.
In which fifty Turks were killed and
many wounded.
1t is reported that all the intelligent
| Bulgarians of Okrida were recently ar
| rested on suspicion OF communicating
| with the insurgents and were sent in
chains to Monastir.
A letter from Philippopolis says the
| authorities there have distributed rifles

LOOKS LIKE A GOLD BRICK
Organization Operating In Nebraska
Letting Stockholders Walt.

The Nebraska stockholders in the
American Tribune New Colony COM
pany' of Geraldine, Tex. tired of wait
ing for some return upon their invest
ment, have pooled their interests and
elected o. j. Workman of South Bend
as president, and A. II. Gould of Ash
land as secretary, with the purpose OF
bringing about Il settlement with the
colony company.
This company is an organization
which operated throughout eastern Ne
braska some three years ago, its object
being to induce farmers To invest in
Oklahoma land. Stock was sold in
blocks of $50, 800 and $3.50. After
a certain amount of stock was sold the
officers of the company were To pur-
chase an immense tract of land at
about q dollar an acre in Oklahoma
then opening up for settlement. This
land was to be surveyed and parcelled
out to the stockholders by lot. Any
person who had paid $3.50 was to re-
cciye 100 acres of land, every one who
had paid 500 was to receive eighty
acres and any one who had paid fifty
dollars was to receive a town lot. So
beautifully was the scheme unfolded
to farmers and business men In the
vicinity of Ashland that several thous-
and dollars of stock was disposed of.
Then a year went by without the col
oniZation scheme matcrialiZing, and
those who had invested grew anxious.
Application to the officers of the COM
pany brought back the reply that the
company had been unable to obtain
any large tracts of land In Oklahoma
at a price that would make the scheme
feasible. and that Texas was being ex-
plOred for a suitable place to estab-
lish the town and colony. After an
other year of waiting word vas re-
ceived that such a tract had at last
been located and the spot TO be known
as Geraldine. Tex, but still no assign
ment of land was made. Finally tired
out by three long years Of waiting the
stockholders organized and in a public
statement claim that the American
Tribune New Colony company has ap-
proved this organization and urges all
the local stockholders to gather their
stock together when a large tract OF
land will be decided them in a body.
The question now is how long IL viii
be before this Is actually done. There
are a number of stockholders who
look upon the centure as "a bad Il
and their money as good as lost. while
many others still hope to possess the
100 acres of Texas land and plan to go
there to reside permanently. These lat
ter stockholders evidently will take
the matter into court before they give
up entirely.

Wisconsin Central Train in Bad
Mixup.
'cOLLlDES WITH STREET CAR
Caught on Crossing at Fifty-Second
Street, Chicago-Five Killed mt
philadelphia While Walt
Ing for a Train.

Five persons were killed in a COL
lj!sion between the Wisconsin Central
limited passenger train and n Forty
third avenue street car at Fifty-second
avenue. Chicago. The street car was
crowded with passenger returning
from the Harlem race track. The
motorman had received the signal to
cross, and had just reached the center
OF the tracks when the passenger train
crashed into his car. None of the pas
sengers had time to escape. The dead
are as follows:
J, Roberts, body crushed, killed in
stantly.

Joseph Butler, colored, skull frac-
Cured and body crushed.
j. Williams. Jockey, who rode sec
ond horse in last race at Harlem, body
crushed and skull fractured.
James Gallagher, Elmira, n. Y, died
en- route to hospital.
The blame for the accident is laid
by Motorman Kilroy upon the wet
rails. He saw the danger in time to
avoid 1t and applied the brakes, but the
car slid along the track with locked
wheels. The passenger train. which
was running at high speed. struck the
street car near the center, cutting it
in two. 1t was reduced to splinters in
an instant and the force of the col
nsion was such that several of the
injured were hurled high in the air,
and two Of the killed met their deaths
by striking the ground after being
thrown from the wreck.
A party, composed Of about a dozen
persons. was run down by n passen-
ger train Wednesday night at Sharon
Hill, seven miles south of Philadel-
phia. on the Philadelphia. Baltimore &

dead are:

Poor Birds at High Prices.

Recently a mar that knows told the

fair method OF dealing, though It IAN.
not be checked by law. Thus n man
has a good establishment and has
built up an enviable reputation. He
raises some hundreds OF fine birds a
year, being careful to have them of
good stock and highly bred. But he
receives orders not for hundreds but
for thousands of birds. He should de-
cline to fill the orders for his stock
after his supply Is exhausted, but he
does not. He sends his wagons out
into the country to pick up everything
he a find of the breeds he is
handling, He purchases the fowls at
say so cents each. He yesells them at
several dollars each, for his customers
are willing to pay a good price for
first-class stock. How many OF the
customers of this man would accept
the stock sent to them II they knew
1t was gathered from the farms at ran
dom?
On the average farm no particular
care is taken to keep the poultry stock
absolutely pure. Generally pure breds
and grades run together. The result
OF their crossing is not always easily
discernible by people not experts In
the judging of fowls. A few feathers
OF color or a few points missing on
the comb would not be noticed. Hence
the ease with which such stock is
sold.
The poultryman that does this kind
Of business is quite sure to be found
out in the end, and his fine reputation
and trade will disappear together.
More than one man has come to this
end In the poultry business. The
breeding of pure blood fowls should
be surrounded with every safeguard

crosses. Moreover the trusting buyer
naturally supposes hat his purchases
have been bred and reared under ideal
conditions, that they have been ex
posed to neither lice nor disease.
Birds collected from everywhere are
likely to bring both lice and disease.
The above mentioned practice can
hardly be too severely condemned. It
is getting money under false pre-
lenses. Every honest dealer should
do what he can TO make this practice
impossible.
