HERNE, Prussia, Jan. 21.-Every-
thing is quiet here. The coal output
is scarcely sufficient for the miners

the early closing of saloons on pay day.
The emperor's birthday celebration has
been cancelled. Councilmen are con-

In the Castrop district almost all Of
the mines are idle.
Several workmen have been mall

load of miners al the Victor mine were
attacked and shots were exchanged.
Yesterday tree was laid across the
railroad tracks and today there were
indications Of riotlng, The gendarmerie
lowered their side arms. They ar
rested eight men and also one woman.
The number Of strikers is expected TO
increase within few days.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease,

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fail
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect. '-'
Nowadays. we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and exper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphicfe) AMI
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef-
fectiVe form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver, and
excretory organs and purifes and en-
nation of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall. but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the Dlodern concentrated prepara-
tions of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liv-
er and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood i'm "a way
that often surprises patient and ply
sician alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins while experiment.
Ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perior TO any other form. He says:
For liver. kidney and blood trou-
bles especially when resulting from
constipation or malaria, | have been
surprised at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, [ have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-
pear I'm four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth, Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters Is a proprie-
tary article, and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet l know of nothing so
safe and reliable for constipation, liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
edy."
AT any rate people who are tired OF
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find In Stuart's CAL
cium Waters a far safer more pala-
table and effective preparation.

SMOOT TELLS
OF REVELATIONS
tcontInued from Psre oncA

Ntonttnucd from rage Oncl
II do not believe It would be superior
to the laws of the land"
Then il you got revelation from
heaven yourself would you have to
obey it?"
II believe if Il was from God It would
be compulsory upon me to obey It. But
II II was contrary to the laws OF the
country in which I lived I would move
to some other country where I could
obey the laws"
Il believe that God could do such
things. He did It in former days and
could do It now"
Senator Dubois asked: do you mean
to say that II a revelation was re-
ceived by the president of the church
and submitted to the church, that a
member could disregard that and main
tain his fellowship and standing in the
church,"
"Oh. yes; 1 understood So
Continuing. Senator Smoot referred
to the law of tithing. He knew there
were many members of the church
who disregarded it, although it was
a law of the church.
Senator Dubois followed up his ques-
tionlng.
Then, as an apostle, you could go
out among your people and take that
position and the people could refuse
to obey also and still retain their
standing?"
II would not want to go as far as
infer your question leads 1 would
not want to say that a man could go
from one end of the country to the
other and make a special point of
preaching against certain doctrines of
the church and be in full fellowship.
think that would be not only nom
belief in it, but open rebellion, and
through that he would be out of har-
mony."
Senator Smoot said he was sent on
a mission to England in $780, He said
he did not preach polygamy there, nor
had he ever done so in his life.
"As ! understand former answer
by you, 1t is fundamentally and pri-
mariy part of your religion If a reve-
lation should come to the church that
commanded you to disobey the laws of
the land you would not have to obey
it?" asked Senator Knox.
The senator responded that he would
be free agent to accept or reject il,
but that if God spoke to him person.
ally he would leave the country and go
to some place where the law of God
was not in conflict with the law of the
country.
The hearing was adjourned until
Monday.

RUSSIA FACES
WILD REVOLT
Gopon has so soon converted into an
incipient revolution.

Gopon has so soon converted into an
incipient revolution.
copon the Man OF the Hour
In Gopon, Russia seems to have
found at last the man needed to re-
deem her from servitude. He has ap-
peared, too, at the right moment. a
year ago bis utterances, his activities
would not have been tolerated for a
moment He would have been put TO
death as traitor or he would have
mysteriously disappeared Today this
young orthodox priest presents to the
world the remarkable spectacle of dis
putting INST Petersburg the authority
Of the car himself and of daring the
cars advisers.
Tonight, swayed by him, great CO.
horts of woykmen with banners parade
the streets. These workmen are bold
enough to declare they will not now
be content with representative govern
ment and the freedom of the press
that tomorrow they will demand from
the czar and his government equal
political rights for all classes, from the
highest to lowest. liberty of speech and
religion and freedom from search of
domiciles by the police.
Leaders of these orderly thousands,
Gopon's lieutenants, are like men pos
sessed and will dare everything. They
are convinced, on Gopon's solemn as
surance, that IL the car were free
agent all their demands would be con-
ceded instantly.
This belief lends additional danger TO
the situation. Gopon's followers are
beginning to talk of their sacred duty
to rescue the czar from the evil coun-
sellors who hold him in duress.
The resemblance of the crisis is COM,
pared to that at the outbreak of the
French revolution when the Parisans
appealed to Louis XVI in person at the
Tuileries.

LIKE 5ELEAeUERED CITY
Military in Complete Possession Of St.
Petersburg

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. H.-St'
Petersburg today presents the appear
ance of beleaguered city. The mill
tary are in complete possession. The
streets are lined with troops, gallop-
ing squadrons of cavalry are seen
everywhere, gendarmes are concealed
in all the court yards and the closed
factories and mills are surrounded by
cordons of police and cossacks.
On every bulletin board is posted the
government PROCLAMATION warning
the people notwithstanding. Despite
the energetic measures taken to ensure
the safety of the city, the inhabitants
are in a state bordering on terror. Inc
widest rumors regarding the inten-
tions of the men are afloat, and many
small retailers did not open their shops
today An edict has gone forth that no
shops must open tomorrow when the
great assemblage on the palace square
lis scheduled to take place.
The plan of the authorities is to pre-
vent the workmen tomorrow from en-
tering the city proper. The industrial
section beyond the Neva, Moscow and
Nevsky gate will be cut off and all
bridges will be guarded. Several bat
iteries of artillery have. been brought
into the city.
The strikers are continuing their agi-
tation with unabated activity Through
out the morning they paraded the main
tn Of tlka off closing
every industrial establishment.
The agitation hitherto ha. been car
ried on with remarkable absence of
actual violence the committee on the
union having issued instructions that
everything be done as quietly as pos
sible and that no personal violence be
offered the police. Street traffic in the
leading thoroughfares is hardly inter-
fered with, the demonstrators filling
the streets politely making way for
passing sledges. A list of the ia
works closed as the result of yester-
days coercive measures shows that
every industry is involved including
railway construction and electrical en-
gineering. In view of the probable
failure of the electric supply for stores
and offices, householders are laying in
large stocks of candles. The public
is nervous and excited and the opinion
is freely expressed that the government
will be forced to concede the demands
of the men.
Parallels in French Revolution
Father Gopon, who was reported to
have been kidnapped during the night
