poor of the slums. One day this
worthy woman in the goodness OF hel

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dedd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
Of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one OF the most wonderful

Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors. two of
the best in the country told ne he
would not get better stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone. but to
give the medicine justice, I gave him
eleven more pills. used thirty>fve
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
| consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-fve Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

Appeals to the People of All Nations

II IS Dut TCTy little that we ask
the right to work on our own soil,
among our own people, ruled by some,
at any rate, Of our own rulers, and to
be permitted to eat and drink what we
think good for us, instead of having
deadly poison poured down orr
threats, says the Century. Even if for,

ice Of 20,000000 of PEOPLE rescued

death now staring them in the face.

CONSTANT RIOTING AT BAKU
SCORES KILLED OR WOUNDED
AND MANY HOUSES PLUM
DERED AND BURNED.

Tifiis, Caucasia, Feb. 27-Details OF
the recent street fighting at Baku
show that thirty-five persons were
killed or wounded Feb. 20 and that on
the following day the racial bitterness
between the Mussulmans and Arme-
mans reached climax. Street MUIR
ders were incessant and firing lasted
all day long. Altogether a hundred
people were killed or wounded. Shops
were plundered and as the garrison
was inadequate, reinforcements of five
battalions of infantry with artillery
and two squadrons of Cossacks had to
be called in and used their arms to
suppress the outbreak. Further dis
turbances occurred Feb. %. The resi-
dcnces of the wealthiest inhabitants
were plundered and burned. The gov
ernor traversed all the quarters of the
city exhorting the people to cease hos
tilities and the Armenians and Mussul-
man clergy met and embraced in pub
lie and expressed desire for a recon
ciliation of their peoples. The rioting
was thereupon suspended, but again
broke out Feb. "a.

ALMOST A REIGN CT TERROR Ex-
ISTS I'M POLAND AND THE
CAUCASUS.
RACIAL DISTURBANCES CONTINUOUS
STREETS OF BAKU, BATOUM AND
TiFLiS GLUTTED WITH BOD
les OF DEAD.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-The reports
both from Poland and the Caucasus
are very disquieting. Owing 10 lack
of direct telegraphic communication
with many places in the Caucasus
verification of the countless rumors
afioat is impossible. but 1t is positive
ly known that almost a reign of terror
exists in the territory between the
Caspian and Black seas. Private ven
geance has glutted the streets of Baku,
Batoum and Tihis with dead Arme-
mans and Mussulmans. The reports,
however, OF the capture of Russian
garrisons and of the firing of the
Black sea fleet on Poti, etc., are not
confirmed.
In Poland the strike situation is
once more assuming a critical stage
and ii is feared the authorities may
again be forced to adopt violent meas
ures.
The railroad strike situation in
Southern Russia is also more serious.
Traffic on half a dozen roads has been
stopped, causing still further difficult
ties in the transportation of grain and
coal and bringing business to a stand
still Over 10000 carloads of grain
await movement in the Volga district
and several hundred thousand tons of
coal for the iron and steel manufac-
tories cannot be budged from the
Donetzky collieries. Added to this is
the dangerous agrarian movement
among the peasants of some of the
Southern provinces as result of the
circulation of the report that the en-
peror, March 4. will issue a manifesto
providing for general division of
lands, which has been the dream of
the peasants ever since their emanci-
patton.
Here In st. Petersburg the workmen
are in a constant state of agitation.
The employers are unable to deal with
the men, who walk out and resume
work on alternate days. There are
now over 10000 men idle and walking
the streets.
