Must Grant Full RIGHTS.

AS we stated to you at your confer
ence it is our very decided conviction
that nothing but the granting of full
civil rights to the Jewish subjects of
the ear will entirely remove the con
ditions which have been the cause of
so much disturbance in Russia and
adverse criticism abroad.
"You have answered us that the Rus
sian Jew in general is not sufficiently
prepared for the exercise OF full civil
rights and that the feeling of the Rus,
sian people is such that the Jew can
not be placed On an equal footing with
them without causing serious internal
disorders, and you suggested that it
might re advisable and practicable
gradually to remove the existing dis,
abilities and thus prepare the way to
an eventual total granting OF civic
equality.
'As to this, we aver that the million
or more of Russian Jews who have
come to the United States have be
come good citizens, Notwithstanding
their sudden emergency from the
greatest darkness into the most in
tense daylight Of political and civil
liberty.
'While it may be true that state
of envy against the Jews exists among
part Of the Russian people, for which
the Russian government is to some eX
tent responsible, still, in our opinion
placing the Jew at once en- footing
of civic equality with the rest of the
population would cause no more fr:c
ton than each one Of the steps lead
ing to the same ultimate end.
mo matter how many Jews may emf
crate there will always remain a mini
mum of 100000 or 100000 Jews il
Russia, ana thus it appears quite eVi
dent that the Russo-Jewish question
must be settled in Russia, settled
promptly and thoroughly in the en-
lightened spirit which your imperia
master has shown in so many Other
instances; this vexatious question vii
remove at once and forever a factor
SO damaging to Russia at home ant
abroad.

Not a Domestic Question.

1--WE believe it to be justified in in
sisting that the claim of the Russian
government that the question of con-
dition of the Jews in Russia is a pure
ly domestic one with which the peo-
pie and government of other countries
have no concern, can no longer be
maintained.
when government, either
through the application of exceptional
laws or by other means. forces great
masses of it's subjects to seek to i'm
prove their conditions through emigra-
ton to other countries the people Of
these countries which give an asylum
to such refugees from persecution and
oppression, may, with entire propriety
criticise the conditions which have
caused such an influx into their coun-
try and may properly insist that
these conditions shall be improved in
such manner and to such extent
that the causes of the forced emigra-
ton shall cease to exist and this with
out justifying the charge that they are
meddling with affairs that should not
concern them

Sick Headache

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tenn, centering in the brain.
 This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom- ach causes nausea, vomiting.
 This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
 Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
 They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral, cocaine or similar drugs. '"Sick headache Is hereditary in my family. My father suffered great deal and for many years I have had spells that were so severe that I was unable to attend to my business affairs for day or so at a time.

COUNTERFEITING SEAWATER
Imitation Successfully Produced for Inland Exhibition of
 Fishes,

Much di11culty has been found hith- erto In keeping marine animals of the more delicate species alive in artificial sea water, such as Is cftsn substituted for the real article where aquaria have to be maintained for months to- gether far from the ocsan-for exam pie. at great exposition in an inland city such as Chicago or St. Louis It is not convenient, says the New York Herald, to transport the necessary sea water In tanks for 800 miles or more and so sea salt has been commonly employed. dissolved in fresh water ac- cording to prescription.
 Experiments have been conducted recently at Woods Holl, Mass, with a view to counterfeiting sea water with such exactness as to make 1t practi- cally indistinguishable from the real stun This, indeed, has been accom- plished so successfully that the most delicate animals, such as sea ans- mones have been kept alive in the artificial fluid for months together Apparently there is no material diff ference between the imitation and the article provided by old Neptune
 To accomplish this result 1t was necessary to make quite an elaborate chemical compound. inasmuch as sea water Is a complicated m xture of . great variety of substances. Roughly speaking. 1t consists of 96h per cent of fresh water plus three and one-half per cent of mineral salts Three fourths of these salts are chloride of sodium. or common table salt, and the next largest constituent Is chloride of magnesium. After these come sul- phate of magnesium, sulphate of lime, sulphate of potash, bromide of mag nesium and carbonate of lime
 In addition to these substances sea water contains minute quantities of quite a variety of clements, including iodine. phosphorus and arsenic. It also contains some silver, copper, zinc, nicka, cobalt, iron and gold. There is said to be two cents worth of gold in every pailful of sea water, but as yet nobody has found way to extract It. Copper and zinc are found In some seaweeds, and certain species of coral is three millionths silver.

COULD NOT KILL THE HOBO
Rusty Rufus Was on the Pilot Milk ing a Cow After Running Into
 Herd.

Ut was way back Tn the '70s," said m old engineer. T was pulling the limited east from Council Bluffs to Chicago over the Rock Island. The night was bitterly cold. We had gone about 20 miles out, and had stopped at night office for orders. and had started up again, when the fireman reached over and said: There is a hobo on the pilot; saw him get on at the depot 'Sure?' I asked. Go out on the running board and see if he's there yet The fireman did as he was ordered to do, and returned with the information that the hobo was still there.
 We'll said I, its a bitter cold night and if he can stand it out there I am willing he should ride with me. And on we went toward Chicago, with old '211' barking like sixty at the low joints ahead and forgetful of our head end passenger on the pilot.
 By and by, by the faint glimmering of the headlight. thought l saw ahead what seemed to be bunch of cattle on the track. As we approached it the bunch seemed to grow larger. It was now too late to do anything. so just pulled her wide open and old 21l hit that bunch of cattle 'ka-bif.' To para phrase the language of Tennyson, who gides into raptures of admiration over the charge of the Light brigade at BaIa- klava, there was just simply cattle to the right of us, cattle to the left of us, but none any more in front of us. After 1t was over our thoughts reverted to the hobo on the pilot. Go out and see if he is still there,' l said"
 Well" said an old brakeman, under whose feet the frosts of many winters had crackled as he wended his way in the dark over many a long train of box cars, and who had been listening to the story. Well" said he, was he killed 2"
 "No," replied the engineer. "There he sat, as large as any hobo could sit, on the pilot with an oyster can milking one of those durned COWS. s."-Topeka Capital

But, one day in school, the heat that yesterday was nice and cozy becomes too dry and baking for endurance, says McCIure's Magazine. The young ones come in from recess red not with the brilliant glow of winter, but a sort of scalded red. They juke their heads forward to escape their collars moist embrace; they reach their hands back of them to pull their clingins underwear away. They fan themselves with joggerties and puff out: "Phew." and look pleadingly at the shut Win dOws.

Many Claims.

at the city hall in the council cham
Der last night to receive complaints
in regard to taxes. Over fifty bills
were referred TO the commissioners
for correction. Many of the differ
ences are trivial and can be straight
ened out easily. Some are due to the
fact that if man owns property in
more than one part of town, a poll tax
bill is attached to each of his other
tax bills, but he is required to pay
the poll tax of $ only once. The col
lector had warded off many of these,
but some remained
The commissioners will consider
the complaints according to which of
the three districts of the city the
properties are in. They will meet
again next Wednesday night.
