5, .- FINLAND. 3j7tNs.
The death of Yrjo-Koskinen, the
leader of the old Finnish party, makes
a tragic chapter in the history of Fin
land. The policy of this man for the
past few years was to brush away
the Swedish language to the adyant-
age of the. Russian language, his
theory being that this would
strengthen the Finnish language and
give it a practical monopoly in Fin
land. But when Governor Bobrikoff,
at a recent session of the senate, an
nounced that all documents issued by
the senate, even those sent to local
authorities, as we'll as answers to pri-
vate petitions, had to be drawn up in
Russian, some of the senators went to
Yrjo-Koskinen, as usual, to confer
with him. He declared in emphatic
language that documents sent to COM
munal authorities and private parties
should not be drawn up in the Rus
sian language. The delegation re-
turned to Bobrikoff and tried to in
duce him to modify his order accord
ing to the suggestion made by Yrjo-
Koskinen. But the general answered
them in abusive terms that it was
their business to obey his orders and
behave. When he noticed that they
were in no hurry to depart he made
it plain to them that they better leave
the room the sooner the better. When
this was made known to Yrjo-Koki-
men he had an apoplectic fit which
led to a speedy death. He must have
realized for the first time that his
policy of yielding was a fatal mistake
realized, though too late, that he
had lost the game.

This is the first time there has ever
been an attempt to bring southern
negroes north and west and to make
farmers of them. Railway OFFICIALS
have advices that a considerable move
ment is planned, which will include par
ties from Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi
and leading southern cities. These VIII

the climate is mild and condttions most

JUDGE MOORE HEARD.
His Prospects Discussed While He
Listened.

Some newspaper men were today sit
ting in the reception room of Governor
Bailey's office discussing the prospects
for reappointment of the district judges
whose terms expire the coming fall,
creating vacancies which Governor
Bailey will have to fill by appointment.
During the discussion a tall, quiet
man came in and asked to see the gov
ernor. Judge West told him the COVER
nor would be busy for a few minutes
and asked him to please be seated.
Meanwhile the discussion went on in the
tall mans presence.
Il guess the governor will reappoint
Judge Moore of Abilene all right" one
of the newspaper mel remarked
''Oh, there will be plenty of other can
didates for the Job" said another.
Yes, but from what 1 hear from up
there it wouldn't do anybody else much
good to get the appointment, because
Judge Moore can beat anybody else for
the nomination in that district
Yes, guess he's mighty strong as
Judge" assented the other man.
Just then the tall man was ushered
into the governors private office. When
asked:
WHO was that man. governor
THAT was Judge Moore of Abilene, J"
replied Governor Bailey.
Judge Moore has had his endorse
ments for reappointment in the COVER
nor's hands for the past two months. He
has all kinds of endorsements and 1t is
generally understood that he Will prob
ably receive the appointment There are
four counties in his district. Geary,
Dickinson, Morris and Marion: 1t is re-
ported that Judge NJ. B. Nicholson OF
Council Grove would like the appoint
ment but he has not been serving IN
the ranks of the Republican party very
long. He was on the bench as Dem
ocrat for several years prior to the time
Judge Moore was elected, eight years
ago.

st. Louis, Aug. 13.-That mastodons
once herded on the wooded banks of a
prehistoric lake for water near the spot
where the Tower Grove railroad station
now stands is considered to be scientifi-
cally proved by remarkable discoveries
of fossil remains made by workmen ex-
cavating for the new overflow sewer.
Forty feet beneath the surface huge
bones, undoubtedly the skeleton of a
maStodon, have been unearthed. Large
pieces of trees almost changed into BIZ
luminous coal by the slow progress of
nature, but still retaining their original
contour, have been dug up.
The attention of Foreman A TAFT
was attracted by an enormous white
bone that came out of the hole with the
dirt in the steam shovels. He found a
huge animal skull, in the jaw of which
were teeth petrified to the hardness of
onyx. Whether there were tusks attach
ed to the skull was not discovered, for
the head extended into the side of the
ditch. Careful search will be continued
tomorrow in the hope of unearthing a
complete skeleton.
