Believed Assassin Was in Touch With
Malcontents.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-The news OF
the assassination Of soisalon soiHinen,
procurator general OF Finland, though
it occurred before noon on Monday,
was not generally known In st. Peters
burg last. night but may be expected
to produce an immense sensation when
Il becomes public as II will be regarded
rs the precursor OF an era Of terror
Ism. for which the events OF January
IN st. Petersburg, and throughout Rus.
sia, gave the signal.
Until the identity Of the assassin is
definitely known II is impossible to
establish the motive for the attempt,
but the present conditions in Finland
render II almost certain that the crime
was purely political in character, and
of the same nature as the assassina.

ROCKY FoRp mH1oxs


AS is we'll known, melon Of very
superior quality and flavor Is produced
In limited area of the Arkansas river
valley, which includes Rocky Ford,
Colo. This melon has built up for itself
reputation on its merits and is In
great demand all over the country.
There is some peculiar quality or prop
erty connected with the soil Of that re
gion which permits Of the growing Of
this little nutmeg melon in It's greatest
perfection. The large profits which have
accrued in the growing Of this, melon
have tempted many other localities to
enter upon its production, In doing
which they succeeded in growing a
melon which looks exactly like the
Rocky Ford, but which is utterly want
ing in it's fine flavor and quality. The
markets Of the country are flooded
with these bogus Rocky Ford melons,
while the genuine Rock ford is retailed
in our cities at the time this article Is
written at as high a price as 25 cents
apiece. The people are quick to catch
on to schemes of this character, and
men who are engaged in trying to
raise Rocky Ford melons in Iowa and
Missouri might as well get out Of the
business.

nor in any mercantile Establishment
or telephone service ex Ppt during

but under Is may be employed at
any occupation provided such occu-
patton is not dangerous to life,
health or morals. No child under

workshop, store, telegraph or tele-
phone service without first obtaining
a certificate Of employment from the
