 This advice comes from the enemy but still it is good advice. The time has fully come for change. The south should begin to furnish candidates as we'll as electoral votes, and the time to put an end to untimely self-oblitera- tion on the part of the souta is clearly coming in 190S No matter if the enemy does desire the south to assert itself. T. at does not affect the real question. mat question is this, when should the south claim the position at the demo- cratic table that it's electoral votes cali for? If not in 1908, why not?

ST. Olaf Band Gives Good Concert.

The concert at the Grand opera
house on Wednesday evening by the
st. Olaf College Band of Northfield,
Mimi, was quite well attended, and
the program rendered was of a high
order of excellence for such an
organization, showing that their
training under Prof. Christianson is
of the best, and that they have dill
gently applied themselves to attaining
that degree of perfection which makes
harmony and rythm. The concert
advertised for the afternoon was
abandoned, on account of the failure
of the band to get over from Calmar
in time.

MURDER TRIAL NEXT WEEK.
District Court Will Open Monday, and
the Trial of the State of Iowa
VS.. 7. |. Clifford will Be-
gin Tuesday.

The February term of the district
court will open at the court house
next week Monday afternoon, with
Judge A. N. Hobson of West Union
on the bench. 1t will be the most i'm
portant term in Winnesheik county
in several years, in that the trial of
Prof. L. 1. Clifford for the murder of
H. A. Bigelow will be it's principal
case. Judge. Hobson has empanneled
a special jury of sixty, from which
it is expected that an impartial jury
can be secured, and they have been
directed to be on hand Tuesday after
noon, the case being set for that
time. The attorneys for the state
will be County Attorney w. M.
Strand, Frank Sayre and John B.
Kaye of Calmar, and for the defense
Attys. E. R. Acres of this city and A.
D. Gray of Preston, MINI. 1t is the
general understanding that the de-
Tense will not deny the commission of
the deed, but will endeavor to prove
that the defendant was insane at the
time. There are many interesting
points of law connected with it, and
there will doubtless be number of
prominent physicians and insanity
specialists examined on both sides.

REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA.
St. Petersburg the Scene of Riot aud
InSurrection, Which is Spreading
10 Other Cities. and Threatens
the Russian Empire.

Revolution and riot run rampant in
Russia. Since Sunday afternoon the
blood of 500 to 1900 striking workmer
has crimsoned the snow clad streets OF
st. Petersburg, the capital city, shot
down by the ruthless hand of authori
ty, because they assembled by thous.
ands with their wives and children,
driven to desperation by suffering and
oppression, to ask the Gar to appear
before them in front of the winter
palace and receive their petition, ask.
ing for equal political rights for all
classes, freedom from search by 20.
lice, freedom of faith and freedom OF
speech. They were met by volley af.
ter volley from the Russian soldiery,
and the city is now in reign of ter.
ror almost equalling that of the
French revolution, with similar upris-
ings threatened throughout the en-
pire, and the government in serious
danger of being overthrown.
The hand of oppression has borne
so heavily upon the Russian sub
jects that they seem to have taken a
final stand to secure what they be-
lieve their rights or die in the at
tempt. The immediate cause of the
trouble is strike of a few thousand
workmen for better wages and better
factory arrangements, which has de-
veloped into mighty demand of the
multitude for human rights and popu-
lar participation in the government.
Under the leadership of Father Gopon,
they prepared a petition which they
asked the Gear to receive ON Sunday
but were met with the
awful reception stated above. The
laconic closing of the petition ex-
presses the sentiment of the working
classes throughout the empire.
''Should you repulse and reject our
prayer, we will die in this square be-
fore your palace. We have nowhere
to go. Only two paths are open to
usT-either toward liberty and happi-
ness or to the grave. Should our
lives serve as a holocaust for suffering
Russia, we shall not regret the sac
rifice, but shall bear it willingly. -
Since the uprising of Sunday the
city is in state of terror, with the
insurrection spreading to Moscow and
other parts of the empire. Bombs are
being thrown, implements of war are
being made from anything at hand by
the common people, who, angered by
the slaughter of Sunday, are preparing
to enforce their demands or perish in
the attempt. The city is in darkness
from strikers leaving work in the cleo.
trio plants, and the water supply is in
danger of being .shud off; and the city
left at the mercy of incendiary fires.
The Gar and empress dowager are
said to be almost in a state of coll
lapse, and have fled to Peterhof.
The situation is indeed intense, and
there IS grave danger of a general
revolution throughout the empire.
The next few days may determine the
future Of Russia.
