PURE BRED SEED WHEAT
Experiment Station, Authorities Take
~ UP Work in Earnest.

The experiment station of the state
agricultural school, St. Anthony Park,
has an extended list of farmers who
are cooperating with the station in
the production Of pure-bred seed wheat,
nesota No. 169 w" Wheat ' and Mi IN E
No. 1913 wheat for sale. The expert
ment station authorities urge that those
who have good seed stocks of these
varieties. for, sale advertise widely in
the newspapers, placing the price suffi-
GENTLY high to warrant the expense
of advertising.
It is also suggested that persons de-
string to sell these varieties Of seed
wheat may do well to communieate
with the experiment station authorities.
and those desiring to purchase seed
wheat can secure information as to the
location of supplies by applying to the
experiment station.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-Foreign residents Of
st. Petersburg are beginning to arrive
in Berlin to await developments. Some
Americans and Englishmen and many
Germans who are obliged to remain
there to attend to business are sending
their families here.
The opinion Of the arrivals is that the
present half-calm is only period Of
preparation for greater resistance to. the
government, and that active, smuggling
of arms and dynamite is going on across
the Austrian frontier.
st. Petersburg society shares the be-
lief that more seri GUS events and even
a revolution are impending.
Princess Talks Like Anarchist.
The wife of a leading American of
st. Petersburg, who has arrived here,

mark:
"You talk like an anarchist: IT,

princess. ., :,

countess.

CIVIL WAR FOR RUSSIA: i

New York Sun Special Service.
London, Jan. 28.-David Seskice,
leader of the Russian revolutionary re-
fugees in England, and editor Of Free
Russia, says: -.
Dispatches have just reached me from
st. Petersburg proving beyond doubt
that the attack upon peaceful crowds
by the armed forces Of czardom was pre-:
meditated.
The police carefully refrained from
Any interference with the strike. Never
before had they been known to adopt
such an attitude.
Vladimir thought that by numbering
wholesale he would terrorize the labor
ing classes into forever abandoning
their political aspirations, while Trepoff
would throw themselves upon the shops
and private houses, that then the middle
and upper classes would turn to czardom
for protection, and that thus lasting. dis
union of the classes would be produced.
Just Another Kishinef.
It was but an enlargement Of the
courageously exposed. And it failed
as miserably.
All differences between parties have
been washed away by the rivers of in
nocent blood, and all Russia is now COM
posed of revolutionists.
The whole program of the various po-
litical parties is now reduced to one
word, NFightl flight with revolvers
with rifles, with hand grenades, with
dynamite.
Hundreds Of refugees who made their
escape abroad during the rule. of Won
Plehve have returned to Russia to fight
for freedom. '.r ob, 49,.

masses will not lay down their arms un.

the Daily Mails special correspondent
at Warsaw, wires under Fridays date:
A general strike of the workmen in
Warsaw began this morning when a party
of men from st. Petersburg arrived and
visited all the factories here. At 10
o'clock the bakers went out first and then
the city water supply men. The en-
ployees of factory after factory followed
them during the afternoon. The supply
of bread is already exhausted. There are
now fully 100000 people without work in
Poland, excluding the strikers. The peas
antry are suffering severely from results
of a bad harvest, while the mechanics and
textile hands suffer from the shrinking
markets caused by the war with Japan
= Warsaw is full of troops, the number
being estimated at 10000, including six.
teen battalions Of guards and two squad
rons of cavalry. The authorities are leav-
ing neither to chance. The gasworks are
guarded by military, both inside and out

by a Gordon of soldiers and police.

first off, all, an; advance party Of
about twenty-four men to make ar
rangements for their quarters. These
few men had not been in the town a
week before they had murdered three
Jews and two Christians and outraged
several women. And after that, when
the troops came, not a day passed with
out a murder by a Cossack:
'"'They were not punished, except in

kept in good humor, so that he will do

Disafection Among Troops. =.
"But all the Russian troops are not
so reliable as those in st. Petersburg.
There is good deal of disaffection
among the soldiers in Kief and in all
the garrisons of southern Russia. And
the disaffection is even greater among
the reservist officers who have recently
been called to the colors than it is
tors, lawyers and Intelligent profess
sional men, who hate soldering and are
imbued with liberal ideas.
,"There is geat disaffection, too,
among another large class of govern
ment employees-the railroad workers.
Nearly all the railroads in Russia are
government property, and the repres-
sive measures adopted towards the
workers have enraged them bitterly.
Do the Russians here expect a rev.
olutiong'' DR.. Fishberg went on. "Well,
we are all up in the air. It looks like
revolution, but nobody can tell what
will happen. New factors have been
introduced into the situation with which
we are unfamiliar. None Of our people,
for example, know anything about
Father Gopon, except that he was once
| a police spy. But Of this you may be
sure: there are plenty of leaders in
Russia for great revolution, even
without Father Gopon. If the time is

and it fights against the workingmen
for the: double purpose Of supporting
autocracy and bolstering up the state
created, state-nurtured Industries. The
manufacturers tell the government that
if they have to make concessions to
their workmen they will not be able
to compete with imported goods, de-
spite the tariff protection they receive
This is their own fault, of course, but
the government accepts these declara-
tions at their face value because they
accord with it's own policy. Thus it
comes about that the labor question in
Russia is inevitably a political ques-
ton.
"A most serious factor in the situa-
tion is the government. encouragement
Of the sale Of liquor. Vodka, of course,
is. one of the greatest curses of Russia,
and, has much to do with the misery Of
the people. The government has a
monopoly of the sale of spirits, and it
encourages their use as widely as pos
sible, because it wants to. make all the
revenue it can. Not many years ago,
the public advocacy, of abstinence, or
even temperance. was regarded as
treason. To my personal knowledge,
men were, imprisoned and even sent to
Siberia for. it. That may, seem incred-
ible, but know of a young fellow who
was arrested and sent to Jail merely
because one of Henry George g books

Peruna is not purgative, or cathartic

the vaso-motor system of nerves.
After-Efects of the Grip.
Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take course
Of Peruna. No one need expect perfect
recovery unless they do so.
The grip has produced catarrhal in
flammation Of the whole mucous men,
brane, and good health is impossible until
these are restored to a normal condition.
This Peruna will do.
A great many remedies have been sug-

has any substantial value in these cases..
1t has never failed to give satisfaction
during forty years experience and still
occupies the unique position of being the
