The Jewish Massacres.

\ great mass Of testimony makes il
certain that atrocities have been com
mitted in the Russian provinces of Bees
sara bia which are as terrible and as re-
voting as anything which was ever per-
petrated by the most frcnZied fanatics
i'm the Middle Ages. At kishineff. near
the Roumanian frontier. the horrors
reached their climax. Jews of an ages
and of both sexes were set upon 10y moh~.
Men We're mangled, tortured, sawed In
pieces. and slain with every refinement
OF cruelty. Women We're outraged and
mutilated. Children were tossed upon
pixies. dashed to pieces or trampled into
pulp beneath the boots Of their murder
ers The details are horrible beyond eN-
preston. Religious bgotrY and Unborn
hatred of Jews by the Russians are at
the bottom of this outburst of deVilish
fury. The Jews have been forbidden To
defend themselves and IT is expected that
this step will increase Jewish emigration
to America.
Samuel r. Pruitt. a Mormon. has been
convicted of polygamy at Salt Lake city
and sentenced to three years IN the PEN

that there appears to be no doubt tnat
