that he favored excepting Mr.. Neacy's
proposition to run the creamatory as

says: "Dr. Schultz need lose no sleep
as to the question of proper bond.
Once there was a story Of a barefoot

st. Petersburg, Dec. 18.-A shudder
of horror has convulsed Russia. The

The government evidently anticipates
accordingly. 1t fully understands that
the proletariat will give blow for blow
in answer to the wholesale arrests.
A significant official communication
has been published warming especially
those groups opposed to the carrying
out of the reforms promised in the inn

tenets are revolutionary and socialistic,

most prominent leaders in the republi-

recognized head Of the fight made
against the Standard Oil Company at
the last session Of the legislature. He
was most prominent in introducing
and advocating the various measures
aimed at the oil monopoly.
After the close of the session, how
ever, while he was preparing to leave
with his family for tour of Europe.
he gave out an interview declaring
that in his judgment the law making
pipe lines common carriers was un-
constitutional. Later, former Attor-,

here to act as attorney for the oil
producers in the fight against the San
ia Fe and other railroads was sent
home, and Senator Smith and Senator
Fitzpatrick were employed in his
place. The case against the Santa Fe
