ANTI.RUSSIAN PLAY
is BEING CONSTRUCTED FOR
PRODUCTION ON THE
AMERICAN STAGE.

Berlin, Oct. 2.-The American stage
will shortly be enriched by a sensa-
tional anti-Russian tragedy, being the
dramatization of the notorious career
of Vera Sassoulitcn. The play reveals
the. darkest aspects Of Russian cor
ruption, misgovernment and torture.
The author of the play, Hugo CAM, a
noted anti-Russian propagandist, has
failed to arrange for the production of
the play anywhere in Europe, the CEN
sor having warned the few theatrical
managers who were willing to put the
play on their boards.
GAM now intends to send the play
to the most prominent theatre in every
large American city. He anticipates,
however, that the Russian ambassador
at Washington will request the govern
ment to use it's influence to prevent
the production of the play.

THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL BETTER

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2.-After an
unusually trying day for the patient
and relatives, during which what were
thought to be final prayers were said
at his bedside, Postmaster General
Payne made perceptible gain. Before
night settled down ne passed into a
sleep, after having recognized and
spoken to his wife and relatives, and
the attending physicians. 1t was then
the following bulletin was issued:
"6:45 p. m.-Within the last two
hours the postmaster general has
shown marked Improvement. He
recognized everyone around him and
has taken nourishment with his own
hands. The heart is acting much bet
ter. (Signed)
&c. LORD MAGRUDER,
&c. 4. GRAYSON."
Friends are fearful that the rally
has been due entirely to powerful re-
storatives and stimulants that were ad-
ministered almost constantly for sew
cral hours. The attending physicians
merely announce that al this time the
patient seems to be in a better condi-
tion than at any time since he was
stricken down.
The physicians battled heroically
three different times. At 3 o'clock
the patient had a sinking spell that
alarmed the doctors. They feared the
end had come. The family were
called from luncheon and upon Mrs.
Payne's request, the Rev. Cotton
Smith. rector of st. Johns church was
hurriedly summoned. There was a
brief reading of stripture, a prayer
and a psalm. Only the faintest hut-
tering of Mr.. Payne's pulse could be
detected by Dr. Magruder, who was
watching for some response to the
powerful injections of saline solution
which had been made. The pulse be-
came stronger.
At 3;45 a bulletin was issued, as
follows:
The postmaster generals condition
is still very grave. He has been rest
ing quietly most of the time today,
but has had several sinking spells.
The heart action has responded to the
remedies and is better now"

UP-TO-DATE FARMERS
HAVE BUILT TWO LARGE SILOS
IN WHICH TO PRESERVE
GREEN FOOD FOR
WINTER.

Messrs, c. A. and w. ]. Pontius, re-
siding on dairy farms north of Can
ton, have had erected two large cir
cular silos in which to store green feed
for winter. The sllos are constructed
of California redwood and are air.
tight. They are sixteen feet In diam
eter and thirty feet in height, having
a capacity of 120 tons each. The struc-
lures resemble barrels in their con-
struction. Into these silos green corn
will be placed. The fodder and ears
will be cut up in half-inch lengths
green right from the field and when
taken out through the winter Is just as
when cut. 1t makes excellent feed
and milch cows fed upon 1t give the
same grade and quantity of milk as in
the summer time, If they are warmly
sheltered The silos have excited un-
usual interest in the community and
the quality of feed turned out will be
watched by others, and il as success
full as anticipated others may be built
later. Stark county farmers have been
rather slow in taking up this method
of preserving green fodder. 1t has
been practiced in many sections for
years.
The Pontus brothers. this year are
using ordinary filed corn, which has
been nipped by the frost. Another
year they will plant largely of ensil-
age corn, which is said to produce bet
ter fodder than any other variety.
