Typical Western Sport.

The contests are the shop talk of
the west. The history Of a certain
block OF granite that has done duty
for many contests is eagerly sought
and as eagerly discussed; the number
of records made i'm each particular
block is known far and wide, and there
is an interest IN 1t amounting almost
to Veneration. The desecrate il is worse
than a breach Of etiquette. In FL Paso
there is block Of granite in which

and around which hangs history that
the miner is always ready to relate. In

cAZAR BOWS TO THE INEVITABLE
AND GRANTS DEMANDS OF
THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE,.
CREATES GENUINE LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY WITH EVENTUAL
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
COUNT WHITE BECOMES PRE-
MiER WITH FULL POWER TO
CARRY OUT REFORMS.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 30.-The autoc-
racy of the Romanoffs and the old Or
der of things has ceased to exist in
Russia. Emperor Nicholas has surren-
dered and Count Witte comes into
power as premier with an imperial
vert the farcial national assembly into
a real legislative body elected by
greatly extended suffrage and TO con-
fer upon the people fundamental civil
liberties, including free speech. A man
ifesto giving the details of the new
form OF government has been issued
and has been we'll received by the
people.
\ simple perusal OF the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor's
abdicatlon of his ~autocratic power.
The very style of the document is
clear and direct and devoid OF the
verbose, vague and bombastic phrase
ology which heretofore has character
lied his majesty's manifestos. 1t not
only betravS the real authorship, but
shows that the emperor at last has ir-
revocably bowed to the inevitable. He
does not even conceal the fact that the
discomfort and agitation of his subjects
has driven him TO take the step and
practically yields everything--civil
liberty, the inviolability Of person and
liberty of conscience, speech and as
sembly.
He not only converts the ~farcical i'm
perial douma, with only consultative
power, into an absolute legislative as
sembly without the assent of which no
measure shall become law and before
which all governmental authorities
must answer, but promises eventually
universal suffrage.
The effect throughout Russia is ex-
pected to be instantaneous. While the
extremists threaten an attempt to keep
up the present struggle the best of
opinion is that the backbone of the
strike is broken but in the final analy.
sis the effect will depend on how far
Count Witte will be able to execute
the heavy task which he has assumed.
Some persons high in the government
believe it still will be necessary to use
ball cartridges to suppress the present
movement, but Count Witte appears
confident.

Holds Bankruptcy Record.

H. H. Wade of McHenry, Foster
county, appears to have fractured all
Nelson cure records. He has filed a
petition in bankruptcy, in which his
liabilities are placed at 56,030.39. This
sounds rather large for a man in a
small place like McHenry, but the as
constituent assumes huge proportions
when it is disclosed that Mr.. Wade's
assets are placed at only IS. No
clothes or any other personal property
Is enumerated among the assets. The
greatest creditor is the First National
bank Of Deadwood, S. D., with a claim
of over $4,000.
