This was flag day and state officials and

their opportunity and locked up shop and
rested. .Adjutant General Culver who has
the soldiers school on his hands. could not

SITUATION STILL OMNIBUS
WORkMEN AT WARSAW COMPEL
FACTORY EMPLOYEES TO
JOIN STRIKE.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, May g.
The city is apparently outwardly quiet,
but the situation is none the less grave.
Worknen are going from factory to
factory compelling their comrades to
strike and the probability Of further
conflicts arouses the keenest a%pprehen-
sion. The bodies Of the thirty odd
persons killed by the troops on Zelazna
street Monday are still lying in the
'morgues awaiting Identification. Ten
Of the wounded who were taken to
hospitals died of their wounds.
During the encounter on Jerusalem
'atYeet the troops not only fired a vol
key but used the butts of their rifles
and their bayonets and swords. Many
women and children had their heads
and limbs broken. Some of the in
iuries were of a terrible nature and
there were cases where the soldiers
entered the courtyards Of houses and
attacked those hiding there.
When the troops fired after the
bomb was thrown the Vienna
railroad station four persons were
killed and seven wounded. All the
windows In the neighborhood were
shattered.
At Kalisz. during a service in q
church, the congregation began sing.
ing patriotic songs, whereupon soldiers
and police entered the building and
attacked the people, wounding many
Of them.
The strikers at LODI now number
$4,000.

The Ferry.

The ferry system between here
and Oliver county is giving very
poor service, and the patrons have
certainly a kick coming. This
spring the ferry boat, was over
hauled and a gasoline engine
placed on same. We felt sure that
the thing would give satisfaction
but it has proven worse than last
year. Those who live on this side
of the "Big Muddy state that it
takes from three to four hours to
get across. and there is no certain
ty about getting back. People are
not going to put up with this con-
dition. Those who live on the
other side of the river are going to
do their trading where they. are
certain of making the trip and we
can't blame them. What is need
ed is a boat run by steam, and one
that can make a landing any place.
Owing to the present low water,
sand bars are one great obstacle to
the operation Of the ferry and with
the present boat it is impossible to
overcome these. The management
should see that something is done,
and that very quick.

Andrew Johnson,s Writing

The letters of President Taylor are
rare, but perhaps those of Andrew
Johnson are the rarest, as he did but
little Of his own writing. His son
conducted most Of his correspondence
and signed his fathers name to the
letters. 1t is related that one reason
why President johnson wrote SO little
vas owing to an accident which hap
pened to him when he was working at
his trade as tailor. One day n tailor's
heavy iron goose fell on his arm, SO
injuring that member that he found II
extremely difficult to indulge in pen
manship thereafter. Andrew johnson
was the poorest writer among the
presidents as we'll as the rarest. His
handwriting was very much Of q
scrawl and can scarcely be deciphered
by the average reader.

CATHERINE THE GREAT.

An d Woman Was This Empresa

A recent writer says of Catherine the
Great, empress Of Russia from the
year 1862 to 1896: re
"She rose at 8 and lit her own fire.
Her table was ideally simple. From
the reproach Of ~overeating and over
drinking she was free. Though she
could not sing q note, she and Prince
Dashkoff, who could sing no better, &C.

sudden burst Of the most exalted and
ridiculous discordant tones was the
consequence, one: seconding the other,
with scientific shrugs and all the SOL

Of musicians. From this perhaps she
passed to a cat concert and Initiated

paw and mewing outrageously."

looking daggers, and did not reappear
for a considerable time. The company
supposed that the unfortunate page
was destined to Siberia or at least the
knout. AS a matter of fact, Catherine
on entering the antechamber found the
page, like his betters, busy at whist.
"When the bell rang he happened to
have so interesting a hand that he
could not make up his mind to quit it.
Now, what did the empress do? She
dispatched the page on her errand and
then quietly sat down to hold his cards
until he should return"

Odd Manner In Which 1t Was Snug

Like many other diamonds, the Agra
diamond has had adventures. 1t gets
its name from the fact that it was tax.
en- at the battle of Agra in 1926 by the
Emperor Baber, who was the founder
Of the Mogul empire in India. The
Marquis Of Donegal was in Agra in
1857, when the diamond was taken
from the king of Delhi. Donegal was
at the time engaged al secretary and
belonged to the same regiment as the
young officer who obtained possession
Of the diamond. It was resolved
among them to smuggle it home to
England rather than give it up and to
share in the loot money. The question
arose how were they to get it home.
No one seemed able to hit upon a
method that would be likely to meet
with success until the last evening pre-
vious to the departure Of the regiment.
During the course of dinner the youn-
gest subaltern suddenly jumped up and
said: II have it. We will conceal the
diamond in a horse ball and make the
horse swallow it." This met with gen.
eral appreciation, a ball was secured,
the inside scooped out, the diamond in.
serted, the end stopped up and the
horse made to swallow it.
When the regiment reached the port
Of embarkation the horse was taken
i'll and had to be shot. The diamond
was taken from his stomach and
brought over to England. It was sub.
%sequently sold to the Duke Of Bruins.

one and a half carats in order to get

NOT AS BAD AS EXPECTED.
ct. Petersburg Opinion Of Rioting at
Warsaw.

w o0"s
st. Petersburg, May Bad as was
the rioting at Warsaw, LODI, Kalisz
and other places in Poland Monday
and venomous as was the hostility
everywhere displayed against the po-
lice and the Russian authorities, the
uprising was far less formidable and
the results less bloody than antici-
pated. The authorities had given due
warning of their intention to permit
no demonstrations and the troops
quelled the disturbances ruthlessly.
All reports, however, indicate that the
demonstrators were comparatively few
in number, the vast bulk of the popula-
ton, fearing trouble, remaining in
doors. Where trouble occurred the
crowds were armed with bombs and
%revolvcrs. In Warsaw a red flag pro.
cession was dispersed by two volleys.
Cossacks and Uhlans then charging
and cutting down the people in the
streets, driving them into c%ourtyards
and beating them with sabres and
whips in the cruel fashion peculiar to
these wild horsemen of the Steppes.
About a hundred persons were killed
or seriously wounded, according to the
reports, women and even children
sharing the fate of the men.

Bomb Throwers Shot Down.

At LODI workmen attacked the po-
lice with bombs and were charged by
dragons and Uhlans. who cut off the
bomb throwers, drove them into a
house, surrounded it and then fired
upon those inside, killing three per-
sons and Wounding many.
According to the reports which have
reached st. Petersburg from Kalisz
the workmen there for a time had the
upper hand of the police and gen.
darmerie, disarming and stoning them
until rescued by a squadron of cav
airy.
Supplementary reports of the riot
ing just received confirm the earlier
Warsaw advices of the revolving
cruelty of the Cossacks and other
troops. People driven into court
yards and beaten with the butts of
rifles, some of them into insensibility.
The limbs of some of the victims were
broken. The bomb thrown into a Cos
sack patrol near the Vienna station,
Warsaw, struck the head of a Cos
sacks horse, literally blowing the
horse and rider to atoms and killing
two other Cossacks and two women.

TALKING FOR LOWER RATES
Secretary Taft Trying to Induce Con-
gress to Revise Philippine
Tariff

Washington, Feb. 4.-Secretary Taft
was heard by the house committee on
ways and means today in favor of a
revision Of the Philippine tariff. Shed
ules were presented. having been pre-
pared by the Philippine commission
and subsequently, submitted TO confer
ence between the commission and the
secretary of war. Colonel Edwards
chief of the insular bureau Of the war
department, preceded Secretary Taft
in discussing the question He said
the present Philippine tariff might be
considered an 1926 per cent tariff,
while the proposed revision would
make il about a 20 per cent tariff.
The revision, however. could not be
considered as an increase all along
the line, as many articles had been
changed from a specific duty to an
advalorem duty. and in these cases re
auctions generally had been made No
table Instances Of decreases are in
machinery.
The necessity for the revision was
stated by secretary Taft to be two
fold: First to admit at a lower duty
90 the islands of articles necessary TO
their development, and. second. the
production of an increased revenue.
The tariff applies alike to all coun-
tries.
The commit tee took no action.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri asked why free
trade could not be established and the
revenues TO operate the government de-
