RUSSIA GOT NEXT TO
 FNCLAND'S SCHEME EARLY
Convinced That Japan Was Proftng by Red Sea Route Russia Determined to Stop It-Seizure of Vessels Was the Result-Sir Charles Harding Presents a Strong Protest

St Petersburg, July 20.-Russia seems prepared for any representation Great Britain may make on the sub ject of stopping ships in the Red sea. It is understood that before sending the cruisers through, the Russian au- thorities became satisfied through an elaborate system of espionage that much of contraband was going from England to the Red sea to Japan and they decided to stop 1t. It is under ystood that if this traffic is now di7 verted to the cape route, the Russian authorities are prepared to send ships to the Cape of Good Hope. If Great Britain objects to the passage of the Darndanelles by the vessels of the volunteer feet the ships intend ed for the cruising off the Cape Of Good Hope may be sent from the Bal tic. Tn this connection very import ant developments are believed to be imminent.

BOTH or THEM DIED.
Browns and Burns Wounds Proved
Fatal,

Fatal.
James Brown, the old soldier who was
shot last Thursday by a demented COM
rade, George Burns, died a few days
later. Burns, who was shot by Deputy
Sheriff Northrup while attempting to ar.
rest him, died the day Of the shooting.
An Inquest was held at Fort Dodge
the coronsr's jury returning a verdict
which exonorates the officer from blame
In shooting Burns.
James Brown came to the home from
Wichita where he has children living.
He wasA or S6 years Of age.
George Burns was a much younger
man and had 1t not been for an old In.
jury which was no doubt responsible for
bis mental condition, would probably not
have been In the home. While conduct

Burns was robbed and beaten into In.
sensibllity by the robbers. He lay I'm.
conscious and unattended for hours. He
afterwards partially recovered from bis
injuries, but he had received a bad skull
fracture which troubled him during the
years that followed. No one had thought
him dangerous, or In very bad mental
condition until the morning after a petty
quarrel, he murdered James Brown.
The affair was a deplorable one but
every feature Of 1t seems to hayo been
unexpected and unavoidable.

Tax Reform.

Before many weeks the Demo,
Gratis of West Virginia will meet
at Parkersburg to nominate can
didates for State Offices and adopt
resolutions embracing along with
National issues State issues as
well. This convention should be
thoroughly Democratic in every
particular. No attention should
be paid to the fight which threat
ems to tear the Republican party
in this State in twain. The Dem
ocrats should hold their cOnven-
ton as Democrats and should not
be influenced by the troubles or
action of the opposite party. The
Democrats have always stood for
equal and just taxation, and real
ize that reform in the system
of taxation should be made, but
while this is true it should be
made in a Democratic way.

Speak-Easy Raided.

The speak-easy at Wick, this
county, was raided Saturday aft
ernoon by officers and four bar
rels of beer and a large quantity
of liquor was confscated. One Of
the men, who gave his name as
Dye. was arrested, but succeeded
in getting away from the officers.
1t is said Dye knocked one Of the
deputies down and run the other
officer who had two guns in his
face at the time he made for him.
The officers in question were GER
tainly very brave. We presume
the joint opened up again Satur-
day evening.
