THE RUSSIAN
STRIKE FAILING
The Witte Cabinet Gets a
New Opportunity.
IF FAILS. DICTATORSHIP
Great Change In Peasant Land Sys-
tenn - Zemstvo to Have Local
Control in the Baltic
aFK;z Provinces.
IF FAILS. DICTATORSHIP

Yesterdays despatch from st. Peters
burg indicate q cooler view OF the crisis,
both on the part Of the workmen and
the government. Says the Boston Tran
script: The former have explicitly de-
ciared THAR purpose to 60 on with the
arming Of their forces in preparation
for revolution; but they will not pre-
cipitate hopeless igat now. The gov
ernsnent apparently means net to en-
force the severest law applicable to the
workmen, and to avoid needless clash.
For the mement its policy of boldness
has succeeded, and with the strike col
Iapsing, the White cabinet may succeed
in doing something to postpone stiIl fur
Their the dreaded general strike. It plans
to meet the grave situation in the Baltic
provinces, partly BY eonvoking the rep
resentatiyes of all classes to devise a
zemstvo for the control Of local affairs.
The proposed practical abolition Of COM
munal liability for peasant land pay
ments, and the assignment OF the crown
domain to individuals, with right Of sale
at win, is an important change, if ID
ever comes TO the point of accomplish
ment. Premier Whites position as to
REFORMS is that his cabinet Is a stopgap
until the national assembly can do che
real work of reforming. The practical
weakness Of this position is that It's
success depends upon pubic confidence
In the intentions Of the cabinet in the
interim. TINS public confidence seems
to be lacking.

Coming home from the village one
afternoon with his horse and buggy,
with the lines loose in his hand and his
thoughts fixed on the hay crop, Jabez
Parker suddenly ran across something

Two miles from home and on barn
by the roadside two men were at work
pasting up circus posters. They had

woman walking a tight rope and a
clown making everybody laugh, and
the good old man, who had never seen

there long after the men mad departed
and figured it all out In imagination.
Presently be heard voice saying;
Durn my buttons, but I'm goin' to

II was his own voice, and 1t almost
pumped him of the seat. His heart
was in his mouth for moment. but
then be gained courage to say "getap"
to the old horse and muttered to him

He reached home to unharness and

Of what was In bis mind until supper
had been eaten and the milking done.
Then as he sat on the piazza with his
old wife he carelessly remarked:
"Ma, r see that George Williams

FOUR "DoNTsa FOR SMOKERS.

surgeons who are discussing the case OF
Actor Frederick L. Power, who has had
most Of his tongue, several glands in

baceo day ii you smoke pipe"
'DonA hold cigar or pipe constantly
ia the same part Of the mouth
Beware Of damp tobacco, which often
contains glycerine.'
DR. William A. Saun, who performed
the operation on Powers, says:
Cancer IN tthe mouth IL not macessar-
lilly caused by the use Of tobacco. Can
cen, as fsx as science has revealed it, is
due to a constant irritation in certain
spot. For instance, the man who smokes
a dozen cigars day, or as many cigar
cites, Is apt to hdd such cigar either
On the right or left side of the mouth.
This naturally causes irritation ii just

should tAere Be any suggestion or sign
of CANCER in the system, 4 is likely that
the growth would be attracted to the

The last words uttered BIZ Power be-
fore going TO THE hospital were those OF

 Taking the surrounding country into consideration MT. Holbert is of the opinion that the town of Martinez.
 which is more generally known as Congress Junction. stands a far chance of becoming one of the prin- cipal mining centers of the Territory. IOf late several houses have been moved down from Congress and things

 will deveInn the section and make the
