RuSSia'S Ability
to Move Troops.

Berlin, Feb. 23-The Militaer
Wochenblatt, the organ of the Ger
man general staff, has published an
article discussing Russia's prospects
of reinforcing her army in East Asia.
The paper takes a pessimistic view
of the the capacity of the trans
Siberian railroad, and especially of
the section crossing Lake Baikal,
where, it says, the difficulties to be
over come are enormous. The limit
ed capacity of the line is said to be a
much more serious matter than the
threatened damage to il by natives.
The paper estimated the present
troop moving capacity of the railroad
from Russia's experience of last sum-
mer in moving two brigades to
Tschita, east of Lake Bakial, which
was only accomplished at the rate of
eight and a half miles an hour. At this
rate it would take 50 days to convey
20, 900 men from the Ural mountains
to Mukden or Vladivastok. The pa
per assumes the present strength of
the Russian army in Eastern Asia to
De l3s, ,16l men, and upon the fore
going estimate of time required to
move troops, it declares it will take
until April 20 for Russia to raise the
strength of her East Asiatic army to
23S, 900 men.
The Militaer Wochenblatt is of the
opinion that the easiest thing for
Japan to do to compel Russia to aban-
don Manchuria Is TO strike at the
center OF the country, or in other
words, concentrate her forces against
Harbin.

mothers and grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious

Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigesied food. regulate
the action OF the liver. stimulate the nervous

all they took when feeling dull and bad with

Capitalization of Schools
In RiChldnd Township,

The School Board of Richland town
ship has called an election for Mon
day, March 81. 1904. for the purpose
of deciding the question of central
lzing the schools of that township.
We understand that If the project
finds favor with the voters that a
union school house would be erected
at some central point, New Richland,
or McGraw Chapel, and the scholars
would be conveyed to and from the
schools. each day in hacks. The ad-
vocates of the system claim that the
school could be a graded one; not
nearly so many teachers would be
needed, and the course of instruction
would be much more advanced than
IL can be with the district school.
They say that the saving in teach.
ers' wages would more than pay for
transporting the children, and that
the tax rate would be less while the
school would be much better.
The school rate is one of the
burdens of taxation, and any plan
that will lower II without imparing
the efficiency of the school ought
certainly to meet with favor. Rich
land township has excellent roads.
and wonld be good township to try
the Capitalization plan in.

FACING REVOLUTION.
One More Reverse and Gar May
Have Civil War.

Dispatches from Geneva says Rus
sia is facing revolution of great
magnitude and the uprising may
come at any moment. At the head
quarters of the Central Russian rev
olutionary committee this evening it
was stated that reliable advices re-
|ceived from St. Petersburg show that
everything is now in readiness for a
far-reaching revolutionary move
ment. The men who have prepared
the ground have left nothing undone
to add to the feeling of unrest with
in the country and have seized on
the defeats of the Russian naval
forces in the Far East, as a pretext
for their agitation.
Now that things are in readiness,
the word to rise is eagerly awaited
for by thousands of persons in all
walks of life. AT the word of a fresh
Russian reverse the trouble will be
begun with demonstrations against
the government in all of the princi-
pal cities of the empire. The revo.
lutionists are declared to be well
armed and equipped and to have a
well nigh perfect organization.
Numbered in the ranks of the dis.
satisfied ones are some of the best
known persons in Russia, declare the
members of the revolutionary com
mittee. In addition, thousands OF
students are enrolled as member:
and many of the rank and file of the
army and navy have sworn allie
glance to the movement Naturally
none of the plans are permitted tc
leak out except in a general wa,
and secrecy will be maintained unit
a telling blow has been struck.
