THE TURMOIL IN RUSSIA.

Cossacks at Moscow have been won
over by the revolutionists and are in a
state of virtual mUtiny, and it is

men decided to delay the general
strike until they are better prepared to
conduct their fight successfully against
the government.
Peasants in Livonia set up a new
government independent of the car,
proclaimed a separate state and con-
fiscated land, killing or expelling land
owners.

deputy treasurer of Stearns county

Jury on seven counts for classifying
accounts and embezzling county funds
to extent of four thousand dollars,
plead guilty and received sentence of
a fine of $500 from Judge Baxter.
Bernicl1 paid the fine at once. The
whole proceedings of the Bernick case
are said by many to have been a ira
vesty of justice in which skilful attor-
neys and influential friends were en-
ployed.
The city is wrought up over the out
come of Bernick's case. Berniclx is
said to have been able to reimburse the

ATTACKED THE CHIEF.
The Chief of Police of st. Cloud is
Badly Beaten BY Gang
of Rowdies.

st. Cloud, MINI, Dec. 10 The no.
torious Karts gang of this city, which,
up to the latest crusade, ran the Palace
saloon, wrecked its vengeance on the
city by assaulting Chief of Police John
Quinlivan, who was overpowered by
force and received bad beating.
The chief was called to stop fight
Salvin. He found the scene of battle
and the Kartz gangSin full possession.
The chief at once proceeded to quiet
the mob which gathered in the saloon,
but was overpowered by Nick ]. Kartz
and his lieutenant, who threw the chief
of police to the floor and pommeled him.
Chief Quinlivan was able to get away
and gathered his force, but when he
returned with a squad of police, the
offenders had gone. A posse of police
and citizens searched the town and the
adjoining country, but no clue has

They have deodorized the city by
leaving, but warrants have been sworn
out for both men and it is likely that
on their return they will receive some
public recognition.
1t was Karts' saloon which was
closed week ago for selling liquor to
minors of both sexes and for running a
gambling joint. Now Chief Quanlivan
has demanded that the mayor revoke
Salvin's license.

st. Petersburg, Dec 10 To strike
or not to strike. "that is the the ques-

latest news from the much-troubled
empire last night.
The czar and his advisors are anx-
iously awaiting the outcome of a rail-
road meeting in Moscow, which appar-
emily holds the balance of power,
though there seems to be some doubt
as to whether or not the workmen
throughout the empire want another
general strike, owing to the great suf-
fering through starvation in the recent
one.
Martial law has been declared in sew

Minority Clings to Leader.

Minority Clings to Leader.
In the defeat of the governors plan
for the cumulative primary election
bill a leader for the minority rises
out of the fire in opposition to Gov.
La Toilette. His eleventh hour ar
rival at the critical stage of the game
served to unnerve those intensely in
.erested in the situation in the legis-
lature, and his victory has been her
aided by minority leaders. Conner
will be remembered as the man who
headed the republican state central
committee and was candidate for
governor. Administrative forces and
the newly arisen leader are engaged
in a desperate battle for control, and
according to the wild remarks made
in the capitol corridors, it will be a
war to the death between two great
forces. La Toilette and Conner were
once friends, but for some reason en-
nifty has sprung UP between the two,
and the fearful fight against the So
called "Mary Ann" primary election
bill is the result of their break from
friendship. What the end will be can
not be surmised, so bitter is the war
which the two factions are waging. A
non-partisan leader said recently:
"There is no longer any shadow of
doubt Of the enmity between the men.
They are engaged in war to the
death, and it is a struggle in which
the whole administration faction will
be engaged"

University to Feel Probe.


The legislative authorization Of an
investigation of the finances at the
state university was pushed BY Pres
ident Van Hise himself and the final
report will be gotten into form before
November l, 1906. The assembly was
found to be in favor of the measure,
and when this condition was made
known to the college president he is
sued a statement urging investigation
of the university as proposed by the
legislature. He hoped such policy
will be made permanent, as regular
reports to the legislature will relieve
the university authorities of much en-
barrassment, under which they have
labored in the past when university
legislation was pending. The reso-
luton then went through the assem-
bly, and the senate agreed to it with
out much argument.

Looks Far Ahead.

Should the supreme court declare
invalid the ad valorem tax law passed
last winter, the assembly will feel that
it's move in providing for the emers
gency was wise one. In order to put
a check on this possible action, the
lower house passed bill providing
that the old license fee system should
be made to stand in case the tribunal
finds the ad valorem tax law unconsti.
tutional. The latter measure was
passed by the legislature of last win
ter amid groans of railroad lobbyists
who had found themselves unable to
check it's progress. Their hope now
lies in the supreme court action.
