In another column we print n letter
from correspondence touching on a sub
ject that vitality concerns the welfare
health and happiness Of the whole cons
munity. 1t Is true that Richmond has
been very crowded, and that In place
of spacious yards we now have numbers
Of contracted little houses, but, We do
not agree with our correspondent thut
Tour city government has been for years
ruled by airing of selfish real estate
owners ana agents, who, In their short
sighted policy have for the sake OF put
ting into their pockets q few dollars OF
cxtortionnte rents, and the enhancement
Of their realty, been the cause Of great
damage to the interest OF the WORKING
men and other citizens besides driving
away or preventing the establishment Of
valuable industries It is true that Rich
n,ond should have expanded long ago.
and 1t is true that there was, from q
number OF quarters, opposition to the e1-
fort, made this year to widen our borders
:
Richmond to expand in the past was not.
however, the result or a deep laid or sell
fish scheme to keep the city contracted
6lut simply because the city was strug-
Cling with other problems that appeared
TO tho Council to demand more imme-
diate attention. 1t hardly seems to us to
be the proper time in view OF he eSara-
ordinary progress and advance that Rich
mond has made, TO t.untttvorably
upon the past. Our business is to learn
from It the .lesosn that will best insure a
still more successful future.

INCREASED ACTIVITY
IMPRESSION PREVAILS At TOXIC
THAT ATkURoPATklN WILL AS
sUME OFFENSIVE.

Toxic, Feb. 1s. According to re-
ports from the shakhe river the Rus
SLAMS are showing increased activity
on both tanks and are extending and
strengthening their right. They also
seem to be concentrating a heavy force
on their left in front Of General Ku-
roki. Fushun is the base of the late
operations and it is estimated that the
Russians there number six divisions.
The impression exists that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the
aggressive. The weather is still un-
favorable, but the excessive cold will
soon be over.
Chinese reports to the effect that
General kuropatkin is preparing to
abandon the Shakhe river line ana
retire northward are discredited here.

DR.. Herman "A. Dreschler Of Dead
wood has been granted license to
practice medicine in South Dakota by
the state medical board Of examiners.
Last summer DR.. Dreschler removed
to DeadWood from st. Paul and at
Itemptsd to practice with the Minne-
SOL ftsense. He arrived too late to
take the July examination and asked
for permit to practice until the next
examination. The Black Hills physi-
clans refused to permit him to prac-
tics and he was arrested and fined for
practicing without a license. He later
took the examination at Aberdeen and
passed with high marks. His license
was even then held up owing to
charges preferred by the Black Hills
medical fraternity, the charges being
unprofessional conduct. Pressure was
brought TO bear upon the state board
and the license was finally granted.

Alleged Sale Of Diseased Meat.

G. Conde has been arrested at Bur-
bank and has been bound over to the
district court on the charge of selling
diseased meat to restaurants in st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Sioux City. 1t
is charged that Conde, who lived near
Burbank. rode over the country buy
ing the carcasses Of hogs, cattle, sheep
and chickens that had died Of disease
and dressing them shipped them to
cheap restaurants in st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Sioux City, where they
were used for food, the purchasers be-
ing ignorant of the fact that the meat
was diseased. Conde, it is alleged,
had developed a large and profitable
business and had accumulated snug
fortune when he was arrested.

yards around. Every window in the
great lofty facade Of the palace of
Justice was shattered and bits Of iron
were imbedded deeply in the walls of
the arsenal, 100 yards away.
/ The assassin belongs to the noted
"hghting group" Of the Socialist Rev
olutionary party, which has removed
other prominent officials and long
since passed sentence Of death upon
Grand Duke Serigus. The grand duke
knew that he stood in the shadow of
death. He was the recipient OF re-
peated warnings, and elaborate pre-
cautions were taken to insure his
safety; but all the resources Of the.
gendarmerie, secret police and sol
diers proved unavailable against an
attempt almost exactly duplicating the,
procedure that caused the death of
Minister Of the Interior Won Plehve
last July.
Assassin Thrown to the Ground.
The assassin was thrown to the
ground and stunned by the force Of
the explosion; but he quickly arose
and ran toward the gate, attempting to
4 escape. His haste and the blood
streaming from his face where he had
been wounded by fragments Of the
bomb, attracted the attention Of Z ser-
Il geant Of police, who seized him before
{ he could draw his revolver. The man
did not deny his crime, but, on the con-
i trary, gloried In its success. He ex-
pressed his satisfaction that he had
been able to kill the grand duke with
out involving the latter's innocent
wife. He ayowed his membership in
the Social revolutionary organization,
but refused to gave his name, and at
the jail his papers were found to be
s forged.

RnnglIng Execution.

Windsor, Vt, Dec. 9 The news
that The hanging OF Mary Rogers Friday
for the murder OF her husband, Marcus
Rogers, has been bungled, has sent a
thrill of horror through the State. 1t is
learned from an eye witness that the
rope with which the wretched woman
was hanged had not been tested. When
the Irop came the weight Of the body
stretched the manila strands so that the
woman's feet were on the floor. 10 this
emergency stalwart deputy sherifis seized
the rope, lifted the body clear of the
floor and held on for nearly Ii minutes
while the woman slowly strangled to
death. The prison officials made efforts
TO prevent the bungle from becoming
known.
An eye witness says: "When the
body shot down after the trap had been
sprung the feet Of the woman struck the
chamber floor, and as the body swung,
the feet dragged on the floor. 1t was
awful to see. Several deputy sheriAs on
the scafiold leaped forward aud seized
the rope, and dragged the woman clear
of the floor and there they held her,
taking turns relieving each other, for
fourteen long minutes, uutil the wom-
ans life was strangled out of her"
Another witness says: "The trap was
sprung at liza o'clock with a crash that
could be heard a hundred yards away.
The body shot down like a plummet,
end snapped back when the rope became
taut. The woman trembled cOnvulsively
and her feet dragged on the floor. The
rope had stretched. To save the woman
from an even slower and more awful
DEATH the deputies on the scaffOld floor
seized the rope and pulled the woman
from the floor and held her 10 that
position until she strangIed to death. "

Bold Act of Robbers

Reading Mass. Dec. Between two
and three o'clock this morning a gang
of eight men participated in one OF the
boldest hold-ups ever recorded in New
England. They appeared on the main
street of the town, and encouutering Pa
trolman Manning, took his revolver and
handouts from him and placing the lat.
ter on the officer they marched him to
the police station, where they locked
him up, leaving a small guard at the
station. The balance of the gang then
held up Patrolman Orr, whom they
treated in the way they had Manning.
Going then to the Masonic building,
which is opp )site the police station, they
smashed open the door of the waterwOrks
Office and with nitro glycerine they blew
off the door of the safe, from which they
took a small amount of money belonging
to the waterworks company, and 5000
belonging to L. NJ. Bancroft, treasurer
of the company. The noise Of the ex-
plosion aroused Mr. Brooks, who lives
opposite the Masonic building, and be
looked GU; of bis window in time to see
the men headed toward Boston. He
fred one shot from his revolver without
effect. The Chief OF Police was soon
aroused and released the two patrolmen.
There is no clue to identity of the mem
bers of the gang.
