Reforms Win Come.

ST. Petersburg, Feb 1S.-It is not
generally believed the assassination
of Sergius will cause the czar to re-
consider his proclamation of reforms
for the workingmen. It is thought
the probable opposite effect will re-
suit and a new era be hastened by
an act which is taken to indicate the
desperate state OF the minds of the
revolutionary element.
1t has transpired that Sasoaneff
assassin of NJ. Plehve, wrote con-
fession before his execution, giving
in detail the aims of the terrorists
which included the assassination OF
Sergius. He said: I'VE don't expect
to overthrow the existing system by
means of assassinations. Our one
object is to avenge the cruel wrongs
inflicted on the people. i assassinat-
ed Plehve not because thought to
shatter the government, but because
of his innumerable crimes"
Sentence OF Death.
The sentence of death on Sergiuf
was issued by the Moscow revolution
lists after the demonstration of De-
cember IL last year. at st. Petersbure
was put down. 1t read: "If our
demonstration at Moscow December
Is and 10 is crushed in as bloody a
manner as that of our brethren OF
st. Petersburg on December H. the
guilt will therefore be upon the head
of Grand Duke Sergius and General
Trepoff, and we, the committee. In
that event have foreordained theb
death"

Jacob Folz Dies of Heart Trouble

Many friends of Mr.. Jacob Folz
deeply regret to learn of his sudden
death yesterday at noon at his
home on Fourth and Jefferson
streets, of heart trouble He had
been in failing health for some time
and although death was not unex-
pected, still it comes as a great
shock.
For two years the we'll known
young man has been ailing from
organic trouble of the pericardium,
or heart, and it graduallycrep over
him until several months ago he
went to Battle Creek, Mich, for
treatment at the sanltariums there.
After a stay of several weeks they
sent him home as an incurable, and
since then he has been unable TO be
about on his feet, but could be
pushed around town in his reclin-
irg wheeled chair.
~he deceased was born 3 years
ago at Union City, Tenn, and came
to this city with his parents about
fifteen years ago and has SINCE
made it his home,
He has always been engaged in
the dry goods and notion business
on Broadway near Second street
and commanded good patronage.
He was the second son of the late
Leopold Folz who died two years
ago while soiourning in California
for his health. He was most ex-
cellent and we'll liked young busi-
ness man of conservative habits and
progressive ideas. He was sim
gle man.
Besides his mother he is survived
by three brothers, Messrs. Max,
Lee and Simon Folz, and FIVE sis
ters, Misses Jennie, Carrie, Bertha,
Hannah and Jessie Folk, all of this
city except Mr. Max Folz. -Padu-

shows which has been here for
years. 1t is comic opera of the
highest class and made a decided

are truly artists in their work.

the courthouse and proceeded to
make provisions for the county
election, at the same time looking
after any other matters which
needed attention.
L. S. Parks was elected secretary
to fill the existing vacancy, and as
seen in the following several mat
ters were touched upon which the
committee deemed of vital interest.
A motion was made and carried

comprising the Canadian River
bottoms appear 10 he as fine cot
ton country as he ever saw. This
forms a very large percentage of
the entire county. About half
mile from Weleetka the river
forms bend aad in these bounda
ries are said to be 10000 acres as
fine as any country affords. The
highlands are not so fertile, but
the soil is of medium grade. 1t is
essentially a eotton and corn-coun
try. The representatives say that
about 40 per cent of the land is
under cultivation and this is true,
Mr.. Waddell says, as far as he
could learn. 1t is claimed also
that the boundaries contain about
5000 population, many of whom
are Creek Indians of a civil and
industrious character, however.
Now we come to one Of the
greatest and most attractive fea-
lures to be taken into considera-
ton in the building of city.
Where the river bend begins to
form is an elevation of 6S feet
above the opposite side of the
neck. This elevation is shown in
series of falls occurring at vari-
Gus points in the channel around
the bend, distance of 40 miles.
Across this neck, a distance of one
and three fourth miles, canal is
to be constructed. 4 company Of
capitalists have undertaken this
work. The survey has already
been made and it only remains
now to condemn the lands along
the route and proceed with the
work. In the scheme a power
house is to be erected on the lower
side Of the neck, half a mile from
Weleetka. This, it is said, will
supply 5000 horse power, or
enough power to supply all the
surrounding towns within radius
of 100 miles at much cheaper
rate than it can be secured in any
other way. This will give We
Ieetka vantage point which will
make it easily the first manufac-
turing point in the Indian Nation.
The cost of the canal will be $780,
0C0 and its construction will be to
Weleetka the nucleus for the build
ing of a large manufacturing and
commercial center.
Another very important point
which we failed to mention is We
leetka's supply of water. This
comes from the river and is filter
ed through the sand before it
reaches the water pipes. The wa
ter is pure, soft and clear.
