A SPIRIT OF UNREST
AMONG THE RUSSIANS

St. Petersburg, Sept. lo.-Intense ac-
tiyity is being displayed by some anti
Russian revolutionary organizations
abroad. 1t seems that they have
united in an effort to appeal to all the
Idiscontented classes of the Russian
population. sIncendiary proclamations
have beer snluggled across the border
/ and distributed broadcast in the towns
| and cities, especially the Polish and
Jewish centers, calling upon the popu-
lation to take advantage of the govern
nent's preoccupation, owing to the
war, to rise against the authorities and
overthrow the autocrat. Such propa-
ganda in Russia always results in an
increase of violence. The proclama-
| Itions are addressed to the Jews in par
| lticular, but appeals are made to the
orthodox sect, Workingmen and So
Icialists and the new feature is that
special appeals are made to the soldiers
and peasants.
Many of the proclamations have been
lseized and it is proven that they have
been printed in London. Until now
lthey have met with little response in
Russia proper. There has been several
manifestations in various places in
Poland and southwestern Russia, where
1.-THE population is largely Jewish. The
largest demonstration, it is understood
took place at Grodno, Poland, where
I5oo persons participated. The ministry
Iof the interior seemingly does not at
ltach great importance to the procla-
Inations and reports which have been
received indicate that the people have
mot been stirred up by them.

DEAD MANS
IDENTITY
MAN FOUND NEAR PARK
RIVER MAY BE R0BBER
"A Theory Advanced That He Was One
Of the Men Who Robbed the Safe at
Park River There Is No Clue as to
His Identity.

Park River, IN. D., Sept. Io.--It is
believed now that the body or skeleton
of the man found near here Thursday
afternoon is that Of one of the men
who burglarized the safe Of the Park
River Milling CO., six weeks ago.
# he theory is advanced that the men
quarreled over a division Of the spoils
and that one man was killed by his
companions.
That the body was placed in the
wheat field not longer ago than a few
weeks. lis evidenced BY the fact that
underneath the body the wheat was
headed out. The action Of the Gle
ments and wild animals and birds had
practically removed every trace ol
flesh. except little on the head, some
on his hands and on his feet, which
were covered by boots.
The skull was fractured, the Jaw
broken and both legs above the knees
The body was about 100 yards from
the railroad track, and about thirty
feet from the place the condition 81
the ground indicated that a long
struggle took place there After the
man was dead his body was evidently
carried farther into the field to con
ceal it. The wheat under the body was
headed out and that IS the only thing
to indicate how long the man had
been dead He was middle agee
man above medium stature and haf
red hair He wore a cheap blue suit
Light underwear and heavy boots
Where the struggle took place parts q
clothing were found, one dollar bill
and two cent pieces. Also black

Gibson this morning "As a matter Of
I fact I receive $I25 a month while the
salary Of the deputy auditor is $Ioo

He Did Not Weigh Enough.

Salina, Kan, April 9-One of the
applicants for the railway mail ser
vice examination here yesterday
adopted a time-honored method OF
increasing his weight which, owing to
illness, had decreased and was below
the required number OF pounds.
When he was examined in Washing.
ton recently, he weighed 135 pounds,
which is one pound below the reouir-
ed weight. The officers allowed him
to go on, hoping he would reach the
weight. Knowing his illness had
lessened his weight, the young man
put two large stones, weighing four
and one-haH pounds, in his pockets
to make up tho deficiency. The
stones were discovered and he was
rejected. He then said BE- had car.
ried the stones because Of his anxiety
about getting the position.

AUCTIONS HER HAIR.
Maine Girl Raises Money to Pay
for Painting the Church.
Mahd IL Not Forced 20 Part with Her

Accomplished by the

For more than year the members Of
the CIioa church. of Castine, Me-, have
eeea making efforts 10 pay CT the mort
g2se o. the property and get money
enocgA to paint the building on the out
side. and as soon as the summer visit
ors arrive they are besieged by women
who call st all hours, asking for con-
tribztions to the cause.
Recently the pensioners held church
fair 10 secure money that was needed i'm
neSi2tely, Most OF the summer colon
lists attended, paying the admission fee
and sitting back TO witness the perform
aree which had been announced.
After prayer and singing the pastor
announced that Miss Bessie Smythe,
daughter OF a farmer. had consented to
sell her hair at auction. and to have II
cut OF In the presence of the company
10 be given to the one who would pay
most for II, the money to be devoted to
the cause In which all were interested.
The hair was uncoiled and shaken free
from pins ard combs until II hung down
her hack and swept the platform. II
was very thick and OF rudy brown
color.
The novelty Of the scene and the great
sacrifice which the good-looking young
girl Was willing TO make touched the Wis
t,ors from out Of town in a place that
no soliciting committee had been able
to reach. The bidding went on briskly,
until lawyer from Worcester, Mass,
had offered $40.
Then a Boston wholesale merchant
arose and said that II was a shame to
make such a sacrifice. when there was
no need Of II, and that II he had money
enough about his person to protect the
girl. the hair should not be cut Off II
was then agreed that as the rivals made
their bids they should deposit the money
on table In front of the auctioneer.
The contest was spirited for half an
hour. and more than 81 900 in bills was
on the table, when the Worcester man
said he had no more money this side of
the bank where he made his deposits
As II Was agreed that nothing but cash
should be taken during the auction, the
Boston merchant paid down 1886, and
Miss Smythe went home wearing her
hair and knowing that the church would
be painted from tip of spire to underpin-
ming because she had the courage to make
the sacrifice. .
And I dint care so much, anyhow"
said she, because I am engaged to
dear man who would love me just as

Bryan Attacks Parker in This
Weeks COmmoner.

Lincoln, Neb., April SIN to-mor.
rows issue OF his paper, Mr.. Bryan
will say, anent the Parker boom:
"Mr Hill has made himself a cham.
pion OF Mr.. Parker in New York, and
it is not likely that he would do this
without having an understanding
with Mr.. Parker as to his own posi-
ton with the administration. Itcan
besafely taken for granted that, in
case OF Judge Parker's nomination
and election:
"Mr. Hill would be the controlling
figure in the administration, and
that would mean that those who at
tempted to reach the White House
would have to walk through peanut
shells knee deep.
Mr.. Hill stands for everything
bad that MIR. Cleveland stands for.
and lacks the brutal irankness that
has given Mr.. Cleveland most OF his
popularity.
"But Mr.. Hills support, dangerous
as 1t is, is not so detrimental to
Judge Parker as the corporate sup
port which is gradually gathering
about him. The fact that Mr.. Park
er is an enigma ought to remove him
from consideration, and the situa-
ton is made still worse by the blight
OF Mr.. Hills record. II Mr.. Parker is
nominated, it must not be as a har.
mony candidate-it must be with the
knowledge that he represents the

the same methods which, during Mr..
Cleveland's second administration,

REQUESTS DECISION
ON BRIBERY TREATY
Petition for ExtraditiOn of Boz
dlers From France in Min
listers Hands.

Paris, April 9.-Foreign Ministel
Delcasse, at the request OF the UniteS
States Embassy, has written to Min
lister OF Justice Vale, asking an early
decision in the case OF the request q
the United States to make bribery
grounds for extradition.
The officials OF the Foreign One
have no objection to the American
request, but as a formality referred
it to the Minister of Justice, In whose
department it has been slumbering
for some months.
1t Is believed that the delay lie due
to the State Departments desire to
make the agreement retroactive, so
az to cover the bribery heretofore
committed.
The retroactive features probably
willnot be granted, but II they are, II
is expected they will have a sensa-
tional sequel in the apprehension OF
certain persons now soiourning in
Europe, who are suspected OF having
been connected with municipal bri-
berry In a large American city.

DARING FEAT SAVES LIFE.
Awful Death, Catching Him as
He Fails from ScnfiOId,

Five stories above street in New

an open window, caught his brother Ed
warn. who had fallen from scaffold,
and saved him from being dashed to
death on the pavement far below. An
other man, William Carpenter, was
killed By the fall.
The accident happened at public
school No. 81. A scaffold had been fast
ened above the fifth floor over the court
yard and about 80 feet from the street.
Carpenter and Edward Drummer stepped
on it from the fifth story window to do
some painting George Drummer was
standing al the window watching them.
As Edward Drummer stepped across the
scafold II swayed as If the rope had
slipped Drummer walked to the end
where Carpenter was to see what was
the matter, and George Drummer re-
manned al the window.
Just as EDWARD Drummer reached Car
penter the scaffold fell towards the
street and Carpenter was dropped head
long TO the court yard and instantly
killed Edward Drummer fell past the
window where his brother was standing.
George had the presence of mind to
throw one arm out and grasp his broth
er. He released his hold on the window
and seized the rope. His brother also
succeeded in doing the same thing and
both of them slid safely to the court
yard uninjured.
