which he said was the best county

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to prohibit the shooting
of Roman candles and cannon fire
crackers in any town or village or
within 100 yards of a house or pub
lie road. If the Legislature passes
this bill and should fail to pass a
single other one its labors will not
have been in vain. The country
would be better off if such bill had
become law years ago.
DIR. ]. T.. Wright, who recently
purchased the old Werthiem store
building at Elbridge, had the struc-
ture torn down last week. When
the building was demolished the
workmen found on the sill at the
northeast corner of same the sledge-
hammer and other tools that were
stolen from the blacksmith shop in
Glass last November when the mer-
camille establishment of II. G. Dav-
idson & Son at this place was bur-
glarized. Postmaster Stevens sad
die, which was stolen at the same
time, was also found last week in a |
cornfeld near Polk. The peculiar
hiding of the hammer and other
tools very greatly strengthens the
theory that there was some one |
connected with the two burglaries
which occurred here last fall who
was Intimately acquainted with the
surroundings. The corner Of the
house where the tools were hidden
had settled until it was nearly on
the ground and the tools were put
under and upon the sill, showing
that the party who did it was ac-.
quainted thereabouts. The private

guished.
Every officer wearing the uni
form Of the emperor who was
found alone was mobbed. A gen.
eral was killed in the Nicholas
bridge and dozen officers were
seized, stripped of their epaulettes
and deprived of their swords.
A member of the emperor's
household is quoted as saying that
this conflict will end the war with
Japan and that Russia will have a
constitution or Emperor Nicholas
will lose his head.
FAITH IN EMPEROR BROKEN.
If Father Gopon, the master
mind of the movement, aimed at
open revolution, he managed the
affair like a genius to break the
faith Of the people in ''the little
father" who they we're convinced
and whom Father Gopon had
taught them to believe would right
their wrongs and redress their
grievances.
Gorky, the Russian novelist, ex-
presses the opinion that the en-
peror has broken faith with his
people, as follows:
Sunday inaugurated revolution
in Russia. The emperor's pres
tige will be irrevocably shattered
by the shedding of innocent blood.
He has alienated himself forever
from his people. Gopon taught
the workmen to believe that an
appeal direct to the little father
would be needed
"They have been undeceived.
Gopon is now convinced that
peaceful means have failed, and
now the only remedy lis force.
The first blood has been shed, but
more will follow. 1t is now the,
people against the oppressors, and
the battle will be fought to the
bitter end"
The military authorities had a
firm grip on every artery in the
city. Guards, regiments of cav
airy and infantry, had every
bridge across the frozen Neva, the
of the canals which inter-
laces the city, and the gates lead
ing from the industrial section,
while in the palace square, at the
storm center, were massed drag
Don regiments of infantry and
Cossacks OF the guards.
Barred from the bridges and
gates, men women and children
crossed the frozen river and canals
IN the ice by twos and threes,
nurrying to the palace square,
where they were sure the emperor
would be present to hear them.
But the street approaches to the
square were cleared by yolleys
ind Cossack charges. Men and
women infuriated to frenzy by the
oss of loved ones, cursed the sol
liers while they retreated.

A condition almost bordering OF
civil war exists in the terror strick.
en- Russian capital. The city is
under martial law, with Prince
Vasiliehikoff as commander of over
$4,000 of the emperor's crack
guards.
Troops are bivouacking in the
streets and at various places on the
Neysky prospect, the main thor
oughfare of the city. On the is
land of VassiIlostrov and in the
industrial sections infuriated men
have thrown up barricades, which
they are holding.

BAYoNETs EMPERoR's ANSWER.
Minister of the Interior Sviata-
topolk Mirsky presented to his
majesty the invitation of the work
men to appear at the winter palace
Sunday afternoon and receive their
petition, but the emperor's advis-
ers already had taken a decision to
show a firm hand and resolute
front, and the emperor's answer to
100, 900 workmen trying to make
their way to the palace square was
a solid array of troops, who met
them with rifle, bayonet and saber.
The priest, Gopon, the leader
and idol Of the men, in his golden
vestments, holding aloft the cross
and marching at the head of thou
sands of workmen through the
Narva gate, miraculously escaped
a yolley which laid low half hun
dred persons.
The figures of the total number
killed or wounded here, at the
Moscow gate, at various bridges
and islands and at the winter pal
ace vary. The best estimate is
800, although there are exagger-
ated figures placing the number as
high as 5000.
Many men were accompanied by
their wives and children, and in
the confusion which left no time
for discrimination, the latter
shared the fate of the men. The
troops, with the exception of a
single regiment, which is reported
to have thrown its arms, remained
loyal and obeyed orders.

fortune not toGthe son, but to the crown.
When yYegg saw this his hypocritical soul
swelled with JOY, for he thought sooner
than give up all the money to the crown
Mr. Boffin would pay him a great deal
to destroy this new will He was such
a rascal himself that it4neyer occurred
to him that maybe Mr.. g Roffin would
prefer to be honest. He took It for grant
ed everybody else was as bad as he was
himself. and vet all the time he tried
to make himself believe that he was up-
right and noble In all he did, as hypocrites
generally do. The only thing he could not
make up his mind about, was how much
he could squeeze out Of his benefactor
Mr. Boffin. At first he had thought of
asking for half, but the more he hugged
his secret the hitler the half seemed. At
last he determined to demand for himself
as the price for giving up the WILL all
but a very small share OF the whole for
tune.
Now Mr.. Venus, though he had yielded

his conscience troubled him. SO that at
last he went and told Mr.. Boffin all about

had some underhanded plan, SO he pre-
tended he was terribly frightened for fear
Of Mr.. WegE md the will he had found
II As q matter of fact, sly old Mr.. Boffin
was not afraid in the least, because he
knew something that neither yVegg nor

secretary. knew. This was that the old
original dustnlan, Harmon, had made still
n third will later than either of the 9th
ers. The first will found was tho one
that had called the son back to England
to marry Belle, The second was the one
leaving MI his fortune toSBthe crown,
which Wegg had found in the empty
pump. The third and last one gave all
the money to Mr., Boffn no matter whom
the son married. and gave none to any
one else; and this third and last will,

heaps.
Mr. ,Boffin had never told any one
about this last will, because he had all
OF the fortune anyway. Now, however,
seeing how NHegg had planned to act,
he was very glad he had found 1t, And
when no was convinced that Mr., Venus
was really honest and wanted no reward.
Mr.. Boffln determined to fool the ras-3

Wegg s plan was not to demand the
money until he had fully searched all
the dust mounds. Mr., Boffln spurned

The eastern magazines and
Illustrated papers are filled with
the doings OF the very rich, in So
ciety. There are balls and coach
ing parties and rushes to the
operas and horse shows; plenty
of them have yachts ana racing
stables, and the deepest study Of
one day is what to do the next.
And when their pictures are Civ
en-, despite all the efforts 70 make
them fiattering pictures, many
Of them have a care-worn look
and not a few show traces of dis
sipation.
There is the steady work Of the
poor and their lives are without
much change; few outings, not
much experience Of the great
worlds wonders. But the poor
sleep innocently when night
comes and rise up refreshed in
the morning ready for another
days work, while those very rich
do not retire until almost morn
ing, and when they rise to an
afternoon breakfast, the food is
tasteIess. There is a monotony
in the lives Of the poor, but when
the whole round Of pleasure and
dissipation stales on the rich,
then the man with his cabin and
garden is happier thai they. As
a rule when men become million
aires, unless they dig their money
from the mines, they possess a
great deal Of what belongs to a
great many other men, and JUS
tice executes its reyenges. When
all excitements and pleasures
have been tried, then those peo-
pie who have the great incomes
discover that there are a great
many things that money cannot
buy. They know, too, that at
the pace they are plunging the
race will be short, and then
what?
Poverty and the cares that
come Of poverty are great tor
lures; it is a bitter thought to a
poor man that his family cannot
have all the comforts Of life, bat
the bitterness does not compare
with the abnormally rich mans
thoughts when he reflects that
he has lost all taste for the sim
pie breakfast of old and that
very possibly he cannot, with all
his wealth, bequeath to his chill
dren an honored name. The
lesson is, that when a man OBJ
tains an independence, enough to
meet all reasonable wants, he is
LUST as rich as he ever can be,
that if he gets moreit is liable to
bring him more sorrow than Joy.
