DETAILS FROM sEBAsToPoL
Report That the Total Killed on Both
Sides Is 5000.

Sides Is 5000.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The situa-
ton is very alarming. Russia is
complete blank so far as direct news
is concerned, all telegraphic communi-
cation with the interior having ceased.
The government still manages, with
the aid of the administrative officers
along the line, to keep communication
open with Sebastopol. The manager
of the Moscow office is himself work
ing at a key there. 1t is reported from
semi-official source that although
the Otchakoff, the Dnieper and trans
port were set on fire and sunk during
the battle at Sebastopol all the muffin
GERS have not yet surrendered. Vice
Admiral Chouknin was in command of
the loyal vessels. General Baron Mel
Ter Gakomelskie, commander of Sew
enth army corps, with 21,0OO infantry
and artillery, was in chief command
ashore.
The Novosti says that 5000 men
persisted on both sides. The leaders
of the mutineers. it is added, have al
ready been executed. According 70 the
Slovo the mutineers themselves began
the attack. Lieutenant Schmidt opened
fire on the city from ten vessels. Vice
Admiral Chouknin replied from the
loyal warships and General Baron Mel
Ter Gakomelskie from the southern
forts and with the coast artillery. The
mutinous sailors used rifles and ma
chine guns upon the entrenched in
fant1y.
The fight, The Slovo says, lasted for
| two and a quarter hours. The muffin
GERS made a heroic struggle, but the
| odds were too heavy, and when the
| Otchakoff, battered to pieces and on
| fire, sank with the cruiser Dnieper and
transport, Lieutenant Schmidt, who
was MORALLY wounded, surrendered
the mutinous squadron and the mutin-
Gus sailors on shore hauled down their
flag to the Brest and Bielostok regi-
ments. According to The Russ, Low
ever, Admiral Chouknin and Generals
Gakomelskie called on the mutineers
to surrender, whereupon under the
orders of Lieutenant Schmidt the mu>
tinous vessels, which had replaced the
| flag of st. Andrew with red flag. re-
| sponded by hosting the battle flag.
When the battle began the batteries
on the north side, which were sup
| posed to be loyal, instead of hiring up
on the mutineers joined cause with
them and directed their fire Oh the
south side batteries. Tie Brest regi,
ment thereupon stormed the northern
batteries with fixed bayonets, and / g
guns were soon turned upon the ships
and the barracks of the mutineers.

INTO TIE AIR.

Ruggles." And Mr.. Ruggles started
and began to draw in his legs, when
two COLLINS flew into the air. In relat-
ing this adventure he was asked how
he knew that they were COLLINS.
Because they both said so, all of
themselves" said he. "But they found
that they could not carry me away.
l was too much for them. What had l
ever done to be visited by two evil
spirits like that?"
Mr.. Ruggles rose and put his head
out Of the window. He saw two tur-
keys on the ground. One of them
looked up to the ridgepole and said,
"Mr. Ruggles.' or what sounded like it
to suggestions or inner consciousness.
"They both appeared greatly sur
prised," said Mr.. Ruggles. "They ask
ed the same question as the COLLINS,
only they clipped their words. l won
der if they saw the COLLINS fly away.
l will never put my two feet out of
the window again"
And ever afterward the careful man
swung high his broadax by day and
gathered up his feet at night after the
manner Of his fathers.

Wild RumOr at ST. Petersburg.
Wild rumors to the effect that the
emperor has been attacked and that
one of the grand dukes had been
wounded were in circulation here. The
Associated Press, however on the au-
thority of a member of his majesty's
encourage at Tsarskoe Selo, is enabled
to absolutely deny these rumors.
Trusted Troops Are Unreliable.
The most alarming indication Of the
spread of the disaffection in the army.
extending even to regiments near the
person of the emperor, was given in
the arrest at Tsarskoe SelO of num-
Der Of soldiers belonging to the yell
low cuirassiers of the guard, the hus-
Sars of the guard and the life guard
rifiemen, for presenting a series Of pc
dtions, including one against the use
Of troops for police purposes.
Detection in the Cars Guard.
The regiments in question are those
which had been specially selected by
General Trepoff to guard the emperor
and his family. They have been
counted upon as being loyal to the last,
ready even to be torn to pieces in de-
Tense Of his majesty, like the Swiss
guards of Louis XVI. Their arrest,
however, although not for open sedi-
ton, shows how the leaven of dis
content is working even within the
precincts Of the imperial park at Tsar-
skOe Selo. This incident gave rise to
the alarming rumors that the emper-
or actually had been attacked and a
grand duke had been wounded while
defending him.

IOWA LANDS ARE VALUABLE
No Better investment Can Be Found
Says George e. Roberts.

Upon the subject of Iowa land and
farm values in the future, Hon. George
L. Roberts, of Ft. Dodge, director of the
mint, is an optimist of the most pro-
nounced type. or all the known secur-
tiles and investments and things de-
sirable to possess he considers that a
good Iowa farm stands at the head and
without rival.
Mr.. Roberts optimism towards Iowa
land began a score or more years ago,
when it was selling at a quarter of
present values, and he has remained a
consistent bull to this day. Mr..
Roberts owns several farms in north
western Iowa and none of them are for
sale; at least not at prevailing prices.
He says all good Iowa land is worth
500 an acre and that the day is not
far distant when it will be impossible
to purchase a good farm for less money.
1t may be three or five or even ten
years before the general price of 500
per acre is reached, but it is sure to
come. He is sure that if Iowa should
produce another such crop as that of
1905 in 1906 and other conditions con-
tinue favorable, as seems quite prob
able, the 500 price will be reached in
less than five wears.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1905-12-14
Reason For His View.

Mr.. Roberts bases his conclusions
upon facts and probabilities that rend
n any other view impossible; upon the
tremendous increase in the worlds pro-
duction of gold. Gold is the unit of
value as means ofexchange and there
fore an ounce of gold will continue to
be worth approximately twenty dollars;
but this does not mean that an ounce
of gold will continue always to pur-
chase the same amount of meat, or po-
tatoes, or -four or clothes. With the
rapid increase in the production of
gold the purchasing power of the gold
dollar will decrease. Plentiful and low
rates of interest causes the investor to
look about for an outlet for his surplus
money at better rates of interest than
he is able to obtain through direct loan
He is afraid of this proposition and that

men. yielding fair interest. the in
weston finally gets back to the earth
and to the farm. panics and flurries
and labor troubles and changes of
administration and thousand and one
lemoraiZing conditions may arise to
lepress or destroy values, but the man
whose money is invested in good land
in such state as iowa is secure. 1t is
the one property that nothing short of !;
convulsion of the earth can effect.
Iowa Soil Is Profitable.
"The area of land in the United
States of the character Of Iowa soil and
climate is very limited says MIR.
Robe is.
1.-The great bulk of the corn produced
comes from half dozen states, of which
Iowa is the chief. Corn is cereal
which is rapidly growing in favor
throughout the world. This is clearly
proven by the fact that notwithstand-
ing the tremendous crop of this year
the price remains at figure that
makes it's raising profitable. With the
continued demand for corn the price
will advance and with it the value OF
lands suitable for it's production.
"The farmer who has paid for his
farm and has acquired little surplus
naturally turns to land for investment
If possible he will put his money in his
immediate neighborhood, an additional
forty or eighty. The matter of five o.
ten dollars an acre in price, will no
stand in the way of his acquiring tn,
land. He knows it's value and it is safe
