revenues were within 1920 of 5000.

Kendall has one of the best schools
IN the entire county, and the aften
ton given matters of this kind shows
the character Of the people who make
up the population. The First Presby-
terian church of Kendall has a large
congregation, the work being in charge
of Rev. A. s. Kerr.
The people of Kendall, as a whole,
are in favor of law and order, seven
days a week, and the camp is as or
derly as country village, for all it's
hustle and stir. There is no gamb-
ling, the miners showing a disposition
t.. save and invest their earnings.
They are, to man, convinced tnat
the camp has a great future, and this
confidence in Kendall Is characteris-
tic OF all the residents. whether en-.
Gagged in the mines or in business.
With the developments of the past
year, who shall say this confidence
is not fully warranted.

NICHOLASFEARS
FOR HIS LIFE
RUSSIAN COURT WILL NOT GO TO
ST. PETERSBURG DURING
THE WINTER.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-Emperor
Nicholas and the Russian court will
not come to st. Petersburg this win
ter. A short time ago it was announ-
ced that the emperor was about to re-
turn to the winter palace, in an annex
of which Count Witte has installed
himself, but his majesty has now de-
cided to go from Peterhof back to
Tsarskoe-Selo, where he has been liv-
ing for almost two years with the ex-
ception of the last months spent at
Peterhof. Except on the occasion of
the ceremony of blessing the waters
last January, when the emperor mar
rowly escaped injury, owing to a mys-
terious charge of grape being fired in
the direction of the imperial palace by
4 saluting battery, the emperor has
not stepped inside the winter palace
for over eighteen months. His decis-
ion not to come to the capital Is re-
garded as unfortunate, not only for
its moral effect, but because it keeps
him surrounded by court influences
and out of close, immediate touch with
Count Witte, wno at the present time
should have daily, almost hourly con-
ferenceS with the emperor.
Recall Fate Of Louis.
Members of his majesty's entour-
age have strongly advised the emper-
or being in st. Petersburg when the
national assembly meets, as we'll as
on account of the danger of popular
disorders at the capital this winter,
recalling to the emperor's mind not
without effect the fatal results of
Lcusi XVI. agreeing to leave Versail-
les and put himself at the mercy of
tine populace of Paris in 1889.
The Polish delegation here is work
ing hard to secure the cooperation
of the liberal, social democrats and
wOrkingmen's organizations in anoth-
er general political strike in aid of
the Poles battle for autonomy. but
thus far while they have met with
much sympathy. no action mas been
taken for their assistance, as Count
Witte, whom the deputation saw, was
extremely firm in declaring emphati
cally that the movement would do nc
good for Poland under compulsion and
that martial law could not be abolish
ed until the separatist movement ceas
ed. The premier declared that the
most the Poles could expect in addi
ton to the rights granted under the
reform manifesto was a separate gen
eral zemstvo for Poland and munich
pal self-gOvernment.
