PAPERS HAVE ODD NAMES.
Russian Publications Are Not Blessed
with Very Businessliks
Cognomens.

The strange thing about Russia's pop
ular papers is their curious names, de-
elares the Boston Herald. Strekosa
(Grasshopper), BabotchRa butterfly,
svietum (The Whistler), VetF CThe
Wind, are some names Of popular pub
lications. A paper which was started
In Moscow some years ago was chris
tened Beelezbub. Tchernilnitsa (The
Inkbottle) was the name Of another.
Russian popular papers have, as q
rule, small circulations. Like the daily
papers, they are subject to the censor,
who stops the sale for time or alto
gether II, In trying 10 be funny, any
thing offensive to the authorities Is al
lowed to appear. Many papers are sub
Jet to what Is known a. the preventive
eensure;" that Is, the editor must
submit everything to the authorities be-
fore publication. A censor who allows
any serious anti-governmental hint TO
escape Is dismissed from his post for
neglect; but this does not prevent the
editor also being punished.

TERRIER ATTACKS A LION.
Recent Exploring Expedition in Az
rica Marked by Some Thrill
ing Experiences.

A recent exploring expedition along
the boundaries Of British East Africa
killed 80 lions and had some thrilling
adventures. Capt. Maud, who was in
command, writes IN the Philadelphia
Inquirer: Baird had q few days be-
fore been mauled by q lion The brute
charged out from q patch Of brush and
Baird's shot failed to stop him. The
next moment the lion had knocked
him down and was mauling him.
''Baird's fox terrier James, which had
hitherto had a Well-merited reputation
for discretion, performed ppodigies OF
valor and positively found his way into
the Hons mouth. But he was not OF
hts majesty's taste, and was elected
strangely enough, with little hurt.
Meanwhile Baird's two shikaris be
haved splendidly. One caught the lion
by the tail and pulled. while the other
very cOolly shot him through the
heart Baird had several wounds, some
Of them deep, but the miracle Of his
escape as well as that Of James was
explained when It was seen that the
lions Jaw had been broken by Baird's
first shot"

Not Yet Inferred.

The unidentified body Of . man killed
On the Trans-SIberian railroad near
Tomsk last summer is still unburied-
He was believed to have come from
Irkutsk, whittier the body was SanL
only to be returned to Tomsk By the
police. Once more It was sent to
Irkutsk and once more returned By the
police as being unknown In that town.
Innumerable kilograms were sent and
replied to, no town would receive the
body, which was sent hither and thith-
er by railway, always being returned
to Tomsk. At last II was offered TO the
Anatomical museum at TOmsk, where
Il was preserved for nine months, no
one daring TO dissect Il without per
mission from the higher government
Now the museum Is being rebuilt and
the body has been once more handed
over to the Tomsk police. They again
refuse to bury It without the docu-
ments without which nothing can be
done In Russia, and the unhappy body,
which IL said TO have already Travelled
over IL 900 miles, Is once more upon
its unending travels.

CURE FOR VARIcosE VEINS
French Physician Finds That Walk
ing II an Almost Lafalhble
Remedy.

DR.. Marchais, Of the Paris hospitals,
has Just submitted the French Acad-
envy Of Medicine q somewhat novel treat
ment for the cure Of yaricOse veins IN
the legs. He had observed that among
rural postmen, obliged to go long dis
tances on foot, there were few men who
suffer from varicose veins and those
who had varicose veins quickly re-
covered from them. Now, as q rule, pa
tients with varicose veins are advised
to walk as little as possible, but Dr..
Marchsis has changed all this and as the
result Of experiments he has success
fully carried out OF q patients he as
serts that the most effective cure for
varicose veins in the legs consists Of
walking. He shows that, In order to
obtain lasting results, It is necessary
10 90 back to the cause Of the afiictiou,
which is the apprehension Of the blood
in the veins. II Is, he says, possible
even for those badly afHicted to cure
themselves by rational daily walking
exercises, preceded by massage Of the
legs.

Spirit Lake, Iowa, Dec. 31.-In an
interview here today, "A. Funk, editor
of the eacon, who has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for governor,
declared he could think Of no combina-:
tion of circumstances that would lead
him to become a candidate. He de-
clared the office-seeking microbe had
left his system entirely and that he
could be a better editor since the dis
covery. When asked who northwestern
Iowa wanted for governor, he said:
ernor a man who will continue the clean
and capable administration Of Governor
Cummins; man who will stand with
the best sentiment Of the state for the
best in government, statesand national
and for the best citiZenship p universally.
No man can at this day assume to give
him local habitation and a name.
Among all the men named in this con-,
nection, northwestern Iowa, it seems
safe to assume, would prefer it's emf
nent citizen, George D. Perkins Of Sioux
City. He may or may not be candi-
date. It is too early for him to decide
that he will, and quite too early to at
tempt to say. what will happen at the
the politically unknown future

ARE CONFIDENT
Claim 120 of 40 Members and
Will Insist on an EARLY
Caucus. ia
Special to The Journal.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 31.-The sup
porters of Senator McCumber will in
sist on a caucus of republican Nom bers
not later than Monday night, and claim
that he will certainly have l2O OF the
40 members of the joint session.
Senator Maynard Crane Of CooPers-
town appears to be the leader OF the
oposition to Senator McCumber. He
is an active supporter of Congresslnan
Spalding and asserts that his candl-
date will have majority in the senate.
Senator McCumb ber is here and claims
that his election is as certain as any
thing can be in politics. His claims
seem to be borne out by, the figures,
The "insurgent element in the
senate, which succeeded i'm undressing
Senator La Moure for a few weeks two
years ago, is making strong efforts to
effect an organization, and it is this
element that will oppose the reelection
of McCumber and will attempt to de.
Law the caucus as long as possible.
The speakership contest is still in the
air, but owing to the old jealousy be
tween Cass and Grand Forks counties
it is certain that the speaker will not
be from either of these. George Piercy
of Stutsman county is now the most
likely candidate.
Governor White and Governor-clect
Sa rles Will present their messages at a
