Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-07-20

The navy department has no late
register Of the Russian navy giving
the names of the officers on duty with
the Black sea fleet All that is known
Is that the best officers were de-
tached last fall and ordered to duty
in connection with the Baltic squad
ron, then fitting out for duty under
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky.
When Vice Admiral Chouknin as
6umed command of the Black sea fleet
he made an inspection. The report
which he transmitted to the admiralty
described deplorable state of affairs.
The ships were dirty, the men badly
trained, and there was grave lack
of discipline.
His report created a sensation in st.
Petersburg, as Vice Admiral Skrydloff,
who was detached from duty in con-
nection with the Black sea fleet for
service at Vladivostok, had had the
record of being a good officer. But
Vice Admiral Skrydloff certainly in
his later years had devoted more Of
his time to pleasure than to duty, and
the fleet suffered as result.
Vice Admiral Chouknin at once re-
ceived orders to reorganize the fleet
and put it in an effective condition.
He attempted to impose the strictest
discipline, and he created dissatisfac-
ton among the men and among the
officers as well.
This is an explanation based upon
official information which was made
here of the reason why eight officers
of the Kniaz Potemkin joined the
mutinous crew.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, expressed confidence that his
government would be able to suppress
the mutiny. He called attention to
the fact that in the reign of the first

Nicholas two regiments had revolted,
and they were promptly crushed and
the trouble was settled. He believes
that events will show that the mutiny
on the Kniaz Potemkin is an isolated
case and that the remainder of the
Black sea fleet will remain loyal. He
added that there is no doubt whatever
in his mind as to the faithfulness of
the army.

RUSSIA MUST MAKE PEACE
Outbreak Home Government Whatever
Japan May Offer

Writing from Washington on the
recent momentous events in Russia,
John Callan O'Laughlin, the veteran
newspaper correspondent, says:
No longer can the Russian govern
ment hold out against the inevitable.
The revolutionary outbreak on the
ships of the Black sea feet makes
immediate peace with Japan, what
ever her terms, moral certainty.
This is the opinion Of diplomats who
know, Russia's situation. They said To-

BILE internecine war which has begun,
and they look for greater expedition
by the st. Petersburg authorities in
naming peace plenipotentiaries and in
giving them instructions which will
lead to a cessation of hostilities.
Japan, on her part, Is anxious that
treaty shall be signed, so as to end
the state of war; and this will not be
possible should the autocracy be over
thrown and state of anarchy reign

Minister Takahira, representative of
Japan, deemed the developments at

Washington has been surcharged
with sensational rumors in regard to
the developments in Russia's internal
situation. 1t has been said that the
American consul at Odessa had cabled

were on the point Of asking President
Roosevelt to send men of war to the

with all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort In
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come I'M
der that head, the fact remains that
some of these medicines are so firmly
established In popular favor and con-
fidence, have so proved their worth
and value, that oil the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them.
One of the best known Of these REM
edies Is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip'
ton, a medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as a STAN
dard preparation for the cure OF those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be a
certain cure in nine cases out of ten
and sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t Is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made OF roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
Dr. Pierce Is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such a pre-
scrlptioD is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded Is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle Of the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine Is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which Is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite

lng Powders.
The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation: they certainly
give the purchaser plenty Of powder
for his money. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior ma
terials that they will not make light,
wholesome food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have very small per-
centage Of leavening gas; therefore 1t
takes from two to three times as much
of such powder to raise the cake or
biscuit as It does of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long run,
the actual cost to the consumer Of
such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and always unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength and
quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
Que which can be relied upon? Calu-
met is always the same, keeps indef-
initely and gives the cook the least

Lodz is quieter than it has been for
months. The continuance of martial
law makes life and property safer
than since the strikes began in Janu-

for the resumption of work in practi-
cally every factory in the city.
The people are promenading the
streets and attending church as usual
on holidays, and thousands of work.
iRgmen and their families are pic
nicking in the nearby woods.
Mill owners are looking forward to
at least several weeks of steady work,
giving them chance to fill orders
which have piled up owing to the
strikes. Martial law has permitted
the authorities to announce such
measures as will make the resump-

The estimates of 300 or 400 persons

sian army was on the eve of joining
the revolutionists.
Some of these rumors had a slight
true situation as depicted by official
and diplomatic dispatches is bad
enough, without exaggeration.
Ambassador Meyer at St. Peters
burg cabled to the state department a
report concerning the mutiny on the
battleship Kniaz Potemkin and the
torpedo boat destroyers, which con-
firms in every detail the message sent
by Consul Heenan at Odessa.
Private information received at the
Russian embassy confirms the report
that bad food was at the bottom Of the
trouble aboard the Kniaz Potemkin. A
sailor approached an officer of the
deck, and was impertinent and threat
ening in his complaint about the food.
The Russian naval regulations make
an officer practically the master of a
mans life. The officer apparently
found 1t impossible to induce the sail
ors to arrest the mutineer. He drew
his revolver and shot the man.
The latter's comrades, standing near
by, dashed at the murderer and killed
him. They knew If they did not get
command of the ship they would be
hanged at the yardarm, and they at.
tackled every other officer who failed
to join them. Eight officers only of
the entire complement cast their lot
with the crew.
1t is evident to diplomats who have
studied the dispatches which have
reached Washington that the trouble
was not spontaneous and that bad
food was not at the bottom of it. II
looks to them as II the crew had i'm.
bibed revolutionary doctrines, and
that they used the food question as a
| pretext.
The failure Of the Black sea fleet
to sail for Odessa at once is regarded
as significant, and an indication either
that the government at first was
afraid to order it to Odessa, or that
the reports of mutiny on board the
ships composing it had some basis.

The Railroad shops.

About once a year somebody starts anew
the old story that the Seaboard Air Line
Shops are to be taken away from Abbeville.
Last week a statement to this effect appeared
In the Atlanta Constitution, and some OF our
people were disturbed thereat.
The fact is, the Seaboard Air Line Ia under
contract to keep their shops here for thirty
years. Abbevllle paid the road something
like $4,000 for the favor. Because of the loca-
ton Of the shops, and because Of repeated
assurance that they would not be removed,
many OF our people have built houses 10 rent
to the railroad folks.
From these facts 1t will be seen that the
railroad cannot, with honor, move the shops
away.
Aside from this fact, the road. as far as we
are informed, has no desire to move the
Shops from Ahbeville.
But, even II there was a disposition to move
the Shops from Abbeville, difficulties might
arise which would likely deter the road from
making 80 unjust q change. The road has
taken our money. Our citizens have built
houses on the faith of the integrity OF the
road. The Courts might be appealed to in
case of so plain a wrong.
