Streets Of ST. Petersburg the Scene Of Bloodshed
and the Widest Disorder-PopuIace
Aroused to Deeds of Violence

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22--
Minister Of the Interior Sviato-
polk Mirsky presented TO his mai
esty last night the invitation of the
workmen to appear at the winter
palace this afternoon and receive
their petition, but the czar's adj
visers had already taken a decision
to show firm and resolute front,
and the emperor's answer to Ioo,-
600 worknen trying to make their
way TO the palace square today
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

of the total number killed Oh

OF various bridges and islands and
at the winter palace vary. The
best estimate is 500, although there
are exaggerated 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 feared
the fate Of the men. The troops,
with the exception of a single regi-
.ment, which is reported to have
laid down its arms, remained loyal
and obeyed orders. But the blood
which crimsoned the snow has
fired the brains and passions of the
strikers and turned women as well
as men into wild beasts, and the
cry of the infuriated populace is
for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle
classes is with the workmen.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-The
most narrowing scenes of the day

This enormous place back of the
winter palace is surrounded by

EIGHT YEARS In ALASKA
Matt Ernser Tells Of His
Experiences in That Country

Matt Ernser, who returned last week
from Alaska. as mentioned ia local
in last Fridays REPORTER, had some
good experiences to relate of life con-
dltionS in the far off land. Alaska is
ordinarily supposed to be land of
ice and snow, almost all of the year.
But Matt told his friends last week
that several times last summer, the
temperature rose to 80 degrees in the
shade, which was as warm as it be-
came in this city at any time. With
IhlS temperature. men worked in their
shirt sleeves there the same as here.

and oats had been raised for stock.
OF course in the winter it is cold
there. colder than in Wisconsin, but
the cold is not SO noticeable. The air
is dryer and the cold is not noticed SO
much as it is here. The picture we
had formed of an Alaskan wearing a
suit OF fuI continually, is seen only in
the winter with the natives and some
OF the white men, he says. If one
moves around, they can go dressed
the same as in Wisconsin, summer and

ARE AGAIN VICTORIOUS
Local High School Defeats
Wausau School al Foot Ball
SATURDAY..

By means of clear, clean, straight
foot ball, the local high school foot
pail team defeated similar team
from Wausau Saturday afternoon al
| the fair grounds on the east side, with
score that left no doubt as to the
relative playing qualities of the two
cOnteSting teams. The final score
was II to 0, with the ball in Wausau's s
territory at the close of the game.
| Clean, honest foot ball did the work,
and the visitors, while they played as
hard as they could, and did some hard
work, were outclaSSed at every point
of the game. In all parts of the line
center, guard. tackle, or around the
end, no matter where the ball was
sent the local team seemed to have no
trouble in getting the plays to go
through.
The playing as it went was as
follows: Wausau won the choice of
goals, and Grand Rapids kicked off to
them and secured the ball on tumble,
only to lose it again by the same
means. WauSau lost ground with the
ball and punted, leaving the ball in
possession of the home team on their
30 yard line. Grand Rapids then ad-
vanced the ball down the field by
steady gains, by means Of Podawiltz
around the end, and CorcOran around
the other end. Several gains of ten
yards were made, and Corcoran made
one % yard run. In just seven min
utes after having begun the game
Corcoran took the ball Is yards around
the end for touchdown. Nash
in favor of the home team. Wausau
got together after that, and the play
ing was little closer.
In spite of this, Corcoran and Nc
Donald advanced the ball steadily
down the field, with Podawiltz making
good gains at intervals. A fake play
was tried, and proved successful,
giving Nash the quarterback a IL yard
run around the end to his credit.
Within the next few minutes, Wau-
sau was peDalized Fl We yards twice for
being off side, and with the splendid
gains Of all three backs of the home
team and the two tackles around the
ends, the ball was advanced again to
Wausau'S three yard line. A place
kick for goal was tried. but was
blocked by Wausau. who retained the
ball on their own six yard line. The
half ended with the ball in the same

MINISTER GIVEN
A RECEPTION

The various church societies and
church members of the Methodist
church met at the parlors of that edi-
fee Friday evening.and welcomed their
new pastor, Rev. Sheard, to his pastor
ate with reception which was at
tended by over hundred guests.
The church parlors were decorated
for the occasion, and merry time was
partaken by those who were in attend
ance.
With the new minister himself,
there were five pastors at the
reception,-Rey. and Mrs. Staff of the
Congregational church; Rev. and Mis-.
Putnam, Of the Baptist, church; and
Rev. and Mrs. Meilicke OF the Ger
man Lutheran church. Several men,
berS OF each of these congregations
were present, and it was large num-
Der of friends that welcomed the new
pastor to the scene of his laborS for
che new year, and it is to be hoped for
many year to come.
The first part OF the evening was
spent in general social converse, get
ting acquainted around, and in having
a general good time. A program fol-
lowed this, consisting of several num-
bers, as follows: reading by Mrs. Lewis
Andrews. song Miss Edna Ridgman,
recitation by Miss Beryl Thompson,
prayer by Rev. Meilicke, and short in
formal talks by Rev. Staff and Rev.
Sheard. Refreshments we're served,
consisting OF coffee and waters, and
after another hours social converse,
the guests returned to their respective
homes, after an evening very pleas
antly spent.

for daily paper in Dawson city, and
it cost him So per month, or S36 per
year. A weekly paper there costs $40
per year or twenty-five cents per copy.
This is somewhat IN advance of the
semi weekly REPORTER.
From Mr., Ernser's experiences he
has concluded that unless one knows
the country and is rather fortunate,
the best thing he can do in that
county is to work on commission till
he gets the hang of the business, and
then if he wishes, he can strike out
for himself. Many men have made
good strikes and consequently, COM
Portable fortunes, but they are few
when compared to the number that
fail. Mr.. ErnSer expects to go back
to the northern country next Feb
ruary, and will then start out for him
self on his own claim.
He has, while in that country, seen
all there is to be seen that would in-
terest a stranger. He has seen the
fur bearing seals, the natives and
their queer methods, seen the gold
fields in all their phases and under all
conditions, and twice he has been
within the Arctic circle and has wit
messed the spectacle of seeing the sun
at midnight. He says that when he
was boy he never expected to see
this. but he has, and it is queer
sight when witnessed for the first
time. He brought back with him
some small gold nuggets he had picked
up while at work. They looked like
small pieces OF rough brass. and worth
less. instead of being the precious
metal. 1t is a pleasure to talk with
mm about the country SO far to the
north.
