A HARD SENTENCE.
A Russian Who Must go Back to His
Own Country.

Milwaukee. Notice of the rejection
of an appeal practically signs the
death warrant Of Judel Kraskin, a
young Russian, who came to this
country to make home for his wife
and two children. Kraskin must be
deported to Russia, and will there be
undoubtedly shot by the authorities.
He had served his time in the Russian
army, but was again called upon to go
to the front. Dreading another sepa-
ration from his wife and little ones
ne escaped across the border, and with
500 roubles made his way to this coun-
try with his family. His case came
before the immigration authorities.
7. w. Sargent, Commissioner GEN.
eral of the Bureau of immigration,
has written a letter to United States
Sen. Quarles stating that Kraskin s
appeal has been dismissed on the
ground that he came to America in
violation of laws relating to contract
ing for foreign labor and must be de-
ported.

Stringent Injunction.

Chicago. What is said to be the
most stringent labor injunction ever
issued by the Cook county Superior
Court has been granted by Judge
Hanecy. 1t was given in behalf of
twenty firms in the Chicago Metal
Trades Association, restraining mem
bers of District Lodge No. s, Inter
national Association of Machinists,
from picketing the plants. The in
junction also forbids strikers and
their sympathizers from even talking
to workmen of the complainants with
out the consent of those employees. Fif-
ty affidavits telling of violence were

Poor Tigerites.

The Rankin officials are determined
that the booze dispensers on the pike,
just across the river from jackson,
shall not run. Recently the sheriff
and number of deputies swooped
down ON the "pikers" and captured
a lot Of booze and arrested Emmett
Bradley. Bradley was taken to Bran
don and put under bond of $500 to
await the action of the grand jury.
The action of the Rankin officers for
the last few weeks has rendered the
tiger business on the pike very un-
profitable.

Jews With the Russian.

st. Petersburg. Rabbi Drabkin, in
an interview had with him by the As
sociated Press, asserted that there
were $4,000 Jews fighting in the Rus
sian army in Manehuria. The Rabbi
calls attention to the fact that when
Jews fall in battle their burial is diff
ferent from that which occurs when
death results in other ways. The Tai
mudic law requires that those who fall
in battle shall be buried in their
blood. Therefore, the bodies of such
are not placed in shrouds, but are in
TERED in their clothes.

county will be graded and graVeled
Money cannot be better spent by a
community than in the way of making
good roads. 1t is economy to have
them and it is passing strange that
men with excellent business judgment
on almost every other question will
balk at the expenditure of a little
money on the roads. A team can pull
several times the load over a good
road that it can over a bad one, do it
with more ease and with a saving to
wear and tear Of harness, vehicles,
etc. 100000 judiciously expended
upon the roads of any county in the
state would increase the value of prop
erty in that county several times that
amount and besides the economy in
drawing power of the team, saving to
harness, vehicles, etc, would make life
worth living. The campaign for bet
ter roads in Mississippi is on to stay

responsible business house like this
comes out and auvertises that Hyomei
will not cost a penny unless it does all
that is claimed for it, it shows what re-
markable confidence they have in this
scientific medical treatment.
complete Ayomei outfit consists of
q neat inhaler, that can be carried in
the pocket or purse, a medicine drop
per and bottle of Hyomei, and costs
but 81.
The inhaler lasts lifetime and when
extra bottles of Hyomei are needed
they can be obtained for SOC.
This treatment does away with all
disagreeable and dangerous stomach
dosing. Breathed through the Hyomei
inhaler for few minutes four times a
day, it impregnates every particle of
air taken into the air passages and
lungs with germ-killing and health Civ
ing balsams. In this way it cures the
most chronic and deprecated catarrhal
