Without warning he clasped her

In the examination of the poisonous
machinery of insects and reptiles it is
apparent that the destructive principle
is the same in all and that the fang in
all possesses a hollow through which
the poison flows into the wound the
moment the incision is made. The
sting of the scorpion is precisely like
the fang of the rattlesnake and per-
forms its deadly work on the same me-
chanical principles.

The COW alone Of all the domestic an
imals is able to utilize proftably farm
land worth $3.50 an acre and up. The
raiser and seller Of grain or hay can
not use such land; it is too costly for
the production of beef or mutton or
pork, save as the hog is byproduct Of
the dairy. The silo is indispensable on
such land, as is well kept poultry. Cows
make the reclaimed high priced lands
Of Holland profitable, while the farms
of the island of Jersey are mostly given
up to dairying.

Results In Bomb Throwing and More Fa-
tai Fusillades.
The shooting is described as having
been quite unprovoked. It has aroused
the most intense Indignation among all
classes in Warsaw. Many of those
who were killed or wounded were shot
in the back, showing that they were
running away when they were struck
Another terrible scene was enacted at
p. M, at the corner of Zlota and
Sosnore streets, when workmen fired
from behind a wall at a patrol, which
Immediately opened fire on the passing
crowds, killing or wounding twenty
persons.
The first bomb throwing occurred at
9:35 p. m, when a mob was thrown
into a Cossack patrol near the Vienna
station. Three Cossacks and one po-
liceman were killed, and two women
who were leaving the station at the
time were severely wounded by the ex-
plosion of the bomb. Cossacks and in.
fantry fired a number of volleys, and
it is reported that many persons were
killed or wounded. Troops surrounded
the whole neighbOrhood. 1t has been
impossible up to the present time to
secure accurate information as to the
casualties in this affair.
At 1915 p. m. disturbances broke
out at the Zombkowska gate of the
suburb of Praga, across the Vistula
river. A great crowd had assembled
there. threatening the troops, when
hussars fired upon the crowd and killed
four and wounded many others. In
JerOSOlini street a man fired into a
patrol from the roof of a house. but
without result. 1t was reported by tele-
phone from Lodz that a crowd there
stoned a military patrol, whereupon the
soldiers fired and killed two men and
wounded boy. Later a similar scene
occurred in Balueki square in LODI,
when two persons were killed. In
LOdz Also at 8 p. M, a bomb was
thrown at patrol. but it was rot eff
fective. The patrol fired into the crowd
and killed three and wounded two per-
sons.
\ student who was distributing
proclamations in VIOLA, a suburb of
Warsaw, was killed by a patrol. In
Nawrot street, Warsaw. a patrol killed
woman. This bloodshed is likely to
very seriously affect the situation, and
may cause a general strike. The tenn.
per of the people is at white heat, and
there is much apprehension regarding
the possible events of May 5, the 114th
anniversary of the proclamation of the
Polish constitution, when disturbances
and demonstrations always occur.
There is now every indication of trou.

Streets Crowded with Holiday Makers.
The streets were crowded from ear
~ in the morning with gaily dressed
people and troops. Children every
where enjoyed themselves in the warm
sunshine. The presence of numerous
patrols of Cossack cavalry and in
fantry were the only reminder of Turk
ing danger No untoward incident was
reported until afternoon. The first dis
turbances occurred between 1 and 2
p. M, when a procession of several
thousand workmen, carrying red flags,
marched along Zelazna street. The
demonstration was quite orderly, and
proceeded without molesta ton for some
distance.
First the Sword Then the Rife.
Suddenly several squadrons of uh-
lans appeared, but without interfering
with the procession, and took up a po-
sition along the sidewalks, while the
workmen passed through the lines.

preached from the front, and immedi-
ately the cavalry charged into the pro-

into much more productive state if
there is to be much greater advance

increased prices for farm products;
hence if land is to be worth more it
must be made to produce more, and
this may be done. The speculative val

AWFUL|0WA TRAGEDY
SAM CARR FATALLY INJURIES
WIFE, KILLS SELF AND
BURNS PROPERTY.

Mt. Sterling, Ia, March 1S.-Crazed
with drink after a prolonged spree,
Sam Carr. a well known farmer, came
home last night and began to assault
his wife by beating her over the
head with a beer bottle. He then
set fire to the house and ran out
%fourishing a shotgun. He set the
barn and outbuildings on fire and
when the neighbors. attracted by the
flames, attempted to put them out,
he kept them away with his gun. He
then attacked his wife again, attempt
ing to shoot her, but she broke away
from him. Then running out into the
yard Carr blew his brains out with a
revolver.
Carr had been drinking heavily and
was undoubtedly insane. His home
and barn buildings were burned with
much of their contents. His wife
while not fatally injured, is prostrat-
ed by the injuries and fright.
