st. Petersburg. July 29-The news
papers, this morning. are filled wit h
very long accounts of the assassination
of Minister of the Interior Won Plehvc,
biographical sketches of the dead
statesman and comments on his char
acter as man. All the papers asren
that Il great personality has been taken
off in the midst of his work.
The NOvoe Nreyma says:
IN. Won Plehve was strong. intel
lectual man. but most of all he had a
thorough insight and knew what par
ticular features We're wanting to make
up n true balance of Russian national
| life
The Russ declares that the dead min
listers faithful name will live in con-
nectiOn with agricultural and peasant
reforms and that it is an infinite pity
he was taken Off in the midst of his
work, leaving his plans all unprotected.
The Noyosti says:
IN. Won P!ehve was Il great man
with a passion for order which was
shown in his handling of every problem
thrown in his way. His ability to deal
with perpleXing questions touching all
classes of society which fell into his
hands, evidenced his wonderful
strength and versatility. His death is
a loss to our national life"
The Official Messenger says:
His death is an irreDarable loss to
all truly patriotic Russians. He was n
faithful servant of the throne and the
fatherland. He was intellectual and
of firm will. not sparing himself in
health. strength or private interests
where public duty was concerned He
did not accomplish all he set out to
do. still his name must be handed
down on the list of the great and true
servants of his country"
Nothing has yet been discovered to
throw any light on the antecedents Of
Leglo. the assassin.
Twenty bystanders We're injured by
the explosion of the bomb, but only
seven OF them We're seriously hurt.
NJ. Won Plehves funeral will proba-
bly, be held, tomorrow.
The newspapers print unusually full
and free accounts of the crime, having
been officially notified that no restric-
tions will be placed on news and COM
ment save as they might interfere with
the work Of the police in unwilling the
conspiracy back OF the crime which
which work is already we'll underway.

 No section in the world" declared MT. Groom, "can produce beef any cheaper than right here in Alabama. You've got the most nutritious grasses in the world Your grazing period is longer, followed by mild, open winters and the grain ration necessary for mere existence in the more Northern or colder States Is almost suff1- cicnt for q fattening ration in the South ern States.
