ADvIcEs from various sections OF the
Russian empire are to the effect that
considerable dissatisfaction exists, and
that this accounts for the fact that Rus
sia is manifesting conservative splrt
in her diplomatic relations with Japan
fearing an outbreak at home. 1t Is said
that the revolutionary propaganda Is
much dreaded by the powers that be,
and that the growing discomfort in many
quarters is causing apprehension. The
leaven of democracy has been working
for some time in Russia, and recently
certain incidents which have occurred
within the domains of the Car cause
many to believe that he is not the a0so-

CHASTITY FIND. The arrest of Miguel
Antonio aud Trinidad Figueroa at Bakers
field, in San Bernardino, CAL, on the
charge of numbering Lee Gar, China
man, at the Needles last Sunday, m y
develop other tragedies. In the woman s
trunk was found the head of an un-
known man. The woman, who is a
Mexican, and Antonio, her companion
in fight, who is a Cuban, were taken to
San Bernardino yesterday, and are now
in the county Jail. Lee Gar, the murder
ed Chinaman, was collector for a laundry,
and went to the house in response to Il
summons. The officers found his body
with the head almost severed with a
razor, which was subsequently found, to-.
gether with the bloodsoaked mating from
the floor. When the woman's trunk was
opened the head of a man, which had
been severed from the body and wrapped
in the woman's clothing, was found.
Owing to the decomposed condition of
the head, it is doubtful if Identification
is possible. The woman claimed to have
bought the head from an Indian at the
Needles.

ANOTHER Chicago professor, J. D.
Robertson, has added his mite to the
gayety of nations by asserting that colds,
pneumonia and kindred ills are due
directly to the "foolish habit of bathing
the body" He claims that by opening
the pores abnormally the skin is made a
sewer, while the natural oils of the body
are destroyed. This will afford an
excuse to many a fellow these cold morn
ings for not taking bath.

BLIZZARD AND EARTHQUAKE.


Chicago was in the grip of the fiercest
blizzard of the season last night. Fol
lowing heavy fall of snow all day, the
wind veered around to the west at night,
and for several hours blew a terrific
hurricane, piling up thesnow in such huge
drifts that street car traffic on nearly all
of the lines in the city was seriously I'M
peded-in some cases completely block
ed-and turning the few bright rays the
gladstone Christmas Day had held for
the poor and destitute of the city into
clouds of distress and suffering and
causing CONSERVATION in the hearts Of
hundreds of Chicago families who had
arranged Christmas fetes for the night.
The blizzard was accompanied by a
rapid fall in the temperature, the mer-
curry in the thermometer dropping 30 de-
grees In a few hours. The mercury
touched the zero mark at p. m, and
was dropping at the rate of two degrees
an hour As the blizzard grew in its
intenseness, appeals for aid were made
on the police, in all sections Of the city,
and immediate steps were made to re-
lieve the suffering by the charitable in
stitutions in the city. No deaths have
so far been reported, but scores of
victims with badly frozen hands
and feet have been taken to hospitals
and homes by the police. A dispatch
last night from st. Louis states that a
terrific storm of wind and hail, followed
by snow, broke over that city yesterday
afternoon, driving pedestrians to shelter.
The air was filled with flying hats, sign
boards and umbrellas, while the wind
whistled along with velocity of over 80
miles an hour for some four or five min
utes. Parts of the walls of the new
81 900, 600 Buckingham Hotel, on west
Pine street, came down with crash,
bricks and woodwork encumbering the
street. In the northwest section of the
city hundreds If windows we're blown in
and nearly every house facing the west
suffered considerable. The storm con-
tinued practically all the afternoon.
A severe windstorm passed over the
vicinity of Washington, Ind, yesterday
afternoon. A new fve-stOry building of
the Cincinnati Heating Company was
leveed to the ground and it is possible
that some lives were lost in the debris,
many visitors being in the building dur
ing the afternoon. The fire department
is conducting a search of the ruins. The
loss to the building is $40, 000 Tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down.
Seymour, Ind, also reports damage by
the storm.
A severe earthquake shock, lasting
about eight seconds, occurred at Los
Angeles, CAL, at 9i45 yesterday morn
ing. The big buildings in the business
center swayed for an instant as though
they would fall and people rushed into
the streets thinking some explosion had
occurred. No damage is reported.
A distinct earthquake shock was felt
throughout Ogdensburg, n. Y, yester-
day morning. Telephone reports show
that it was noticed all through northern
st. Lawrence county, being seyerest
along the st. Lawrence Valley. Build
ings trembled violently at Madrid, 16
miles east of Ogdensburg. The earth
quake was accompanied by noise re:
sembling thunder, which was sufficiently
loud to awake people.

was to have fought six rounds with
Bob" Fitzsimmons last night at Wash

greatly outclassed by the former pugil-

expiration of the first round. At no
time during the two minutes and 81 sec
onds the round lasted did Coughlin have
show, and in that brief time was
knocked down three times. He seemed to
be scared and wanted to quit before he
did. but his second would not permit
HIM tosthroWl up the sponge.
The round opened with both men eau
tious for a few seconds. after which
Fitzsimmons swung a left to the jaw
and Coughlin put a light left to the
mouth. Fitzsimmons sent another to
the jaw and a clinch followed The
former champion then struck out vic

which sent the Irish giant to the floor
for four seconds. AS soon as he regain

count. He came back slowly and Fitz-
simmons landed a terrific uppercut on
the chin. Coughlin appeared to be scared
and wanted to quit: but his seconds sent

There was the usual scrimmage work

At first the varsity team moved down

the youngsters stopped the gaining and
the first team had to fight hard for ev-

for no gains repeatedly and the end runs

When the second team got the ball the

The defensive work was better than it has

HOGS DID THE P1oUeH1Ne.
How a Mitchell County Farmer
Raised 80 Bushels Per Acre.

Beloit, Oct. Mitchell county is
raising a large crop of corn this year.
No farmer who has field of corn i'll
the county regrets that he is living in
the best county in north central Kan
sas-which is Mitchell. And Mitchell
county can tell as good a corn story as
one has ever heard.
Henry Thierolf is a good German
farmer and hog raiser, and lives near
Solomon R9pids. Fred Sheldon, the
owner of the large Touring mill in Be
lott, was a visitor at the home of this
successful German farmer. He was be-
ing shown around the farm, and as
Sheldon was more interested in wheat
and corn, he visited the 100-acre field
of corn belonging to Mr.. Thierolf. 1t
was out of danger of frosts, grasshop-
pers and chinch bugs. In fact, it was
good for rs or so bushels an acre. Espe-
cially was Mr.. Sheldon surprised to see
it so free from weeds and so nicely Gull
tivated. On inquiry as to how this field
of corn was kept so clean and free from
weeds. he was told that Mr. Thierolf
had kept his $50 hogs in the corn all
summer, and they had eaten the weeds
besides they had cultivated every fur
row with their shouts in better shape
than it could have been done with
cultivator Mr.. Sheldon and other by
ISLANDERS were agreeably surprised, ana
it is claimed several other Mitchell
county farmers will adopt the same ex-
perinent next year.
