THIS WOMAN LIVED THROUGH
THE KlSHENEV MASSACRE
Mrs. Taule Furman. Who Wit
messed the Riots in Russia,
Arrives in Philadelphia
with Her Children.

REpI'RLIC SPECIAL.
Philadelphia. June 2N-With her five small
children. Mrs. Taubc Furman, the first ref
ugee from the heart of the city of kishe-
new to reach Philadelphia, arrived on the
steamer Noordland from Liverpool. Her
story of the Russian outrages, to which
she was an eyewitness. bears out in detail
the written and cabled reports from abroad.
Her own escape was a marvellous one, and
was possible only because she had pur-
chased transportation for herself and chill
dren three weeks before the massacre.
Wolf Furman. her husband. came to
Philadelphia nine months ago with
his 16-year-old daughter. Minnie, and
has been working since as huck-
ster. At friends home Mrs. Furman
told of the massacre and her escape.
Though the story was learned through an
interpreter. Mrs. Furman spoke with much
intelligence on the subject.
STORY OF THE RIOTS.
On Easter Monday, when the outrages
started, Mrs. Furman said the mob pound
ed at the great iron door leading into the
court or square in which she lived with
several hundred families. Rioting had been
gong on for several days. she said. the
participants being children. who threw
stones through the windows of the homes
of the Jews. 1t was her opinion that the
children had been instructed by their elders
to do this in the hope that the Jews would
retaliate, thereby giving the Russians an
excuse to ravage and kill.
When finally the men took hand in
the rioting and came to the court in which
she lived. she said a prominent Christian

if they broke into the court he would be
killed. He begged them to go farther, she
said. which they did. The threats and
curses of the rioters and shrieks for
mercy, she said. continued thr3ush-
out the day and night without,
ceasing. She in the meantime had

peaked roofs of her home with her i've

went down to the street.
SAW MANY DEAD BODIES.
She followed after locking the others in.
On the street within a block of her home
she passed between forty-four dead and
muttlated bodies before she found the chill
d1en huddled in a corner.
1t was an awful sight that met her eyes,

He was riding through the valley and was
almost within sight of his friends house
on the summit of the hill on mis- left, when
he noticed cloud of dust on the prairie in
front of him. At the first glance he thought
that a storm was approaching. and he urged
his pony forward. thinking himself fortn-
nate to be within easy reach of the Indian
cabin. The trained horse scented danger

Born and reared upon the plains. only a
glance was necessary TO tell him the story
of Il stampede. and set him To thinking of
4.0po or 5000 steers on the plains. and it
flashed across the mind of the Texan that
if the whole bunch had stampeded they
would be beyond control and probably hum

was great high bluff at the lower end of
the valley. and when he reflected that hum

the loss in dollars would be something to
startle a bigger cattle king than himself.
He knew that his faithful cowboys were
riding hard after the believing maddened
beasts, and there was a chance TO join
them and set the cattle to milling in the
valley. Hearing the crack of a pistol. he
drew his revolver. and. leaning forward. he
drove his spurs into the TANKS of his pony.
and with a wild yell ne rode straight toward
the avalanche of living beasts As the
trained mustang sped over the earth the
excited rider felt a thrill of defiance for all

The sick and afflicted OF the community,

be pleased to learn that DR.. Powell who

promises to make 1t still more interesting is
that DR.. Powell doesn't stop with denounc-
ing the high-fee system in speciality practice

methods in half the time usually occupied
