Russla,s Finances.

Concerning Russia's financial ability
to carry on the war 1.-THE Statist" seems
to think 1t is practically unlimited.
The opinion is that that country can
get e100,0o0,0o0, that is, s500,000,0o0
from France, Germany and Holland,
and II necessary great deal more. She
has a vast amount of gold at home
and the power to issue all the incon-
vertible paper needed. To be sure,
this will be a sore burden first and
last, but is severer pressure will not
be felt at once, hut will come later.
On the other hand, "The London
Tines says that it is practically i'm
possible to come to any intelligent con-
illusions concerning Russian finances,
as the real state Of the case is shroud-
ed in mystery. ".rhe Ministry of FL
nance" frequently publishes state
ments and statistics which paint the
situation in the rosiest hues, the ac-
commodating and mysterious free bal
ance" always stepping forward as u
sort of deus ex machina to cover all
deficits. But these figues bear little re-
lation to the real state of affairs. There
is a secret budget besides the official
and published one, which, If dt could
he known, would put far different
face on the matter. But this is only
seen by those on the inside Of Rus
sian official affairs. The power Of the
country, however, to finance it's war
for some time yet is not doubted,
though it will mortgage the resources
Law grievous burdens on its genera
ton not yet born"

Parkersburg, Dec. &C. c. Wolf,
the Parkersburg millionaire, will again
treat all the children Of the town OF
Parkersburg to large sack of candy
and nuts. He has done this every
Christmas for several years, and the
sacks Of candy and nuts given had
been gradually increased from the size
usually given at church Christmas ex-
ercises to 5-pound sacks. The churches
and Sunday schools assist in the dis
tribution of the treat and this saves
the churches and Sunday schools the
expense Of paying out any money for
their annual Christmas favors mas
much as Mr.. Wolf has donated from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars dur
ing the past year toward the erection OF
the new M. e. church and library, 1t
was not expected that he would go TO
the expense this year of giving each
child in the town bountiful sack OF
candy. nuts and fruit. This gift to the
children amounts annually to several
hundred dollars. C. c. Wolf and San
ia Claus are the two most popular
people at Parkersburg, and the children
know that Wolf is the real thing.

YOUNG FOLKS EL0PE
Youthful Couple Living Near Belle

Friend May Have Sworn Falsely.

Special to Times-Eepublican
Belle PLANE, Dec. %. - A romantic
elopement which may cause trouble for
some of the parties concerned and
prove the adage that the course Of true
love never runs smooth took place
Tuesday evening, when Harry Brant,
a young farmer, living south of the riv-
err, and Miss Nellie Craft, daughter OF
Mrs. M. olney, were united in mar
riage.
For some time the young people
have been keeping company ana
finally asked the consent of the
brides mother to get married. Miss
Craft is 10, of age, and her mother
was averse 10 consenting to the union.
But love finds a way, and the oppor-
tunity at last came. Miss Craft went
with sleigh load of young people to
a party at the Kitllcart home south OF
.he river to attend party. On the
read the party met Mr.. Brant, who
was on the way from Marengo with a
license to marry Miss Craft. The lat
ter was unaware that her lover was
prepared for the momentous event,
but hesitated not to join him and to-
gether they went to the justice of the
peace at Kotzta, where they were mar
RED. The bride returned to her homa
and yesterday morning the groom call
ed to notify the mother and take away
tho wife Naturally the mother was
somewhat displeased, and Brant left
without his bride.
The sequel to the story is the
trouble which threatents a Belle
PLANE young man, whom the brides
parents threaten to prosecute for
bearing witness that Miss Craft was
of legal age.
1t is probable, however, that the
young people will be forgiven. and all
will be well.

Tomas on which state certificates Of a

Central College at Pella, one of the old
est colleges of the state which has done
much good work, but which has never
attained to any greatness as an educa-
tional institution. Central has asked
to be inspected this year and to be
placed on the list. The law providing
for these accredited normal schools
has proved very successful indeed and
a great advantage to these institutions.
The members of the state board of ed
ucational examiners are required to In
spect these colleges once a year and
to see that they come up to the STAN
dard required in normal work.
Curator Charles Aldrich while ne
was a member of the legislature intro
duced bill creating state board OF
pardons. Sentiment Is growing In this
direction and unquestionably Governor
Cummins will again recommend such
a board to the legislature. The fact
that during the past week much OF the
time of the governor has been taken
UP with pardon cases shows how the
work has become burden upon the
chief executive and 1t is the most dis
agreeable duty Of his office. "a board
Of three or AVE." says Mr.. Aldrich
could take up this work and dispose
of 1t much better than the governor
and men could be picked for this es-
pecial duty. They should be men OF
high standing in the community ana
their board should meet at stated times
and hear cases. When they had nm
,shed the matter would be settled"

a Job in the Yukon.

When the Yukon was in the throes of
O. territorial election couple of years
ago, one of the closest observers OF the
rather turbulent politics which char
acterizes the far north was Chief Isaac
ruler OF the Moosehide Indians, tribe
living near Dawson.
The chief, who is exceedingly
shrewd, heard the words job and
"iobbery" often used in the campaign
speeches. and enieavored to ascertain
their meaning, but without much sue
cess. He noticed, however, that money
was always mentioned in connection
with the two terms, and after consld-
cradle reflection called on one OF the
head officials Of the territory.
"Me wantum job" he announced.
"You want work." asked the official
IN amazement.
mo wantum work" declared the
chief, heaughtily. "Me wantum get
rick. quick. Me wantum goy'ment job
