At a standstiII.

The st. Petersburg strike had not
diminished yesterday, but neither had
it greatly increased The industrial
quarters southeast of the city, where
are located the Putiloff iron works and
the st. Petersburg car works, are
largely idle and the men of two estab-
lishments in the Viborg quarter and
one in Vassiliostroff joined the strike,
but employees in general finished the
week without quitting, giving employ
ers further time to agree on conces-
sions. Measures taken by the author1-
ties to prevent proselyting in force by
strikers were entirely effective and the
offer of certain concessions by the Put
iloff iron works also had it's effect on
the temper of the workmen.

Strain Too Great.

Judge Tanner for several days after
having been informed of the action of
the grand jury maintained his posi-
tion, but finally, when he ascertained
the nature of the testimony which Mr..
Mitchell's secretary, Harry c. Robert
son, intended to give, and in order to
save his own son from prosecution,
Judge Tanner yielded and went on the
witness stand. =

Mr.. Heney handed him the contract

Dispatches from all parts of the en-
pire show a distinct improvement in
the industrial situation except in Po-
land and the Caucasus and the great
tidal wave of economic disturbance
which swept over the entire land as
sequence to the historic unheavaIs in

lieved to be on the ebb Remnants

the Russian industrial classes are so
far from being contented that re-
currence of the wave cannot be omit
ted from some future calculation, but
for the time being the economic peril
which threatened to shake the political
structure and render armies utterly
impotent seems to be abating.
Continues With Vieor.
In Poland and the Caucasus regions
indeed the strike continues with vigor,
the week bringing bloody collisions be-
tween strikers and troops at Sosno-
vich and ending in full resumption
of the walkout at Warsaw. But these
sections at present have peculiar in
dustrial conditions differing from the
rest of the empire. Baku, Batoum,
TNif1is and other cities of the Caucasus
are chronic strike-breeders and the
problem in Poland is complicated by
the large mass of strikers and those
made idle on account of the depres-
sion caused by the war.

Confesses to Perjury.
Scanned lines of sleeplessness cut
the face of the self-convicted judge
and brought out the suddenly noticed
gray of his beard and hair as he took
the stand at the call of United States
District Attorney Heney to enter his
plea of guilty, to acknowledge himself
a perjurer.
When on January 81 Judge Tanner
went before the jury he told a story,
which, according to his confession yes
terday, had been agreed upon in many
OF it's details when Senator Mitchell
was in Portland in December last. He
said that there had been an agreement
made between himself and the sena-
tor by which the senator was not to
receive any return from work done
which would lead to either of the de-
partments of the government, and that
this agreement had been made on
March 5, 1901. He introduced this
agreement in evidence before the
grand jury and sWore that it had been
written on the date specified.
Periured Testimony.
Judge Tanner said that, to the best
of his knowledge, the senator had no
bank account in the city and that no
moneys due him for work done by the
firm or by him had ever been turned
into his account. He brought up the
subject of the work done for Frederick
A. Kribs in expediting claims in the
general land office and said that the
senator had never received any sum
| tor this work, all of which had been
put to his (Tanner's) account.
The government was in possession
of evidence at that time which varied
from Judge Tanners testimony, and,
linking it together, United States Dis
trict Attorney F. j. Heney was able to
make such a showing that not only
Judge Tanner, but his son, Albert H.
Tanner, Jr., were indicted by the grand
jury. Neither of these indictments was
made public.

RHEUMATISM IN A PORTRAIT.

The London Lancet is of the opin-
ion that the earliest record of rheu-
matte nodules is to be found in a
portrait of a lady about thirty years
otherwise known as Cvazzola, a
Veronese painter who lived from
1886 to 1922.
The portrait is one of collection
left by Signor Morelli to the Academy
Of Bergamo. The hands attract at
tention at once, as seeming to be
much older than the face. A strong
light rests upon the left hand, which
is in central position.
"The abductor indicis and other
interossei are strillingly wasted, the
interphalangeal points of the first
two fingers are markedly enlarged,
and there are typical rheumatic nod
ules over the head of the second
phalanx of the index and over the
proximal ends Of both the proximal
phalanges of the middle finger"
Through the midst of technicality
the layman can discern the image of
protracted suffering. II a complete
list of the remedies recommended
by her friends had accompanied the
portrait the story would be told in
full.

The White River Branch

The new railroad known as the

tation facilities to promote retarded
development The new route will ex-
tend from Carthage. Mo-, to Newport,
Ark.
Upon reflection, it seems strange
that so resourceful part of two states
should be without railroad cennec-
tions up to this time. and particularly
when the main lines of several sys-
TENS were comparatively near.
The mining and agricultural and
horticultural capacities of the White
river country are, without eXaggera-
ten large. The whole section is cele-
brated for its picturesqueness and its
health-eiving properties There was
every inducement for the construction
of railroad.
The road taps the lead and zinc
lands of Arkansas. The hardwood
forest of Arkansas and the fruit sec
tions of Missouri. Already consider
able proeress has been made with min
ing. and a few mining towns have
come into existence Along the river
are found vast quantities of different
kinds of marble and building and ce.
ment stone. Farming. too, has been
carried en- successfully.
The advancement which has been
made since the two divided lengths
OF the railroad have been in operation
and since capital has acted upon the
advice of prospectors. is an assurance
that the opening of the through line
will produce notable development
The town of Yellville. Ark. situat-
ed in the mining district, is exploited
by the Iron Mountains representatives
as having many of the prospects
which Joplin has realized. Attention
IS also directed to Buffalo City and
other towns around which mines are
worked. Near Yellville is the new
town of Cotter, which was incorporat
ed in 1903, Cotter has a population
of nearly 1000, and its railroad traf,

The Paris Magnet says: George
D. Locke of the Southside Coal and
Railway company was in Paris Friday
and to the editor of the Magnet said
positively that railroad would be
built from Paris to Dardanelle in the
near future. What Paris wants and
needs most is railroad connection with
the Iron Mountain at Russellville, or
the Choctaw at Ola. and nothing short
of this will satisfy her A road to the
river is hardly sfficient for our needs.
We have got coal. mineral and pro-
duce that we want to carry to the
markets east of us, and we feel sure
that if Mr.. Loclle's road is built as
far as Dardanelle the necessary rail-
way connection beyond there will be
forthcoming"

Sloan Springs-BentonviIIe Line.

Matters pertaining to the electric
Hallway between Sloan Springs and
Pentonville are shaping up in a
most satisfactory manner, says the
Rentonvile Sun. d. Zimmerman, may
or Of Sloan Springs, and who is at
the head of the enterprise, has just
returned from New York and says
that everything has been satisfactor-
ily arranged to push the building OF
the road and that he thinks it will
only be short time before dirt will
be thrown.
He urges that the right of way
from Bentonville to Logan be secured
Just as quickly as possible, and tie
members of the Business Mems league
who are looking after that part Of the
work are pushing things along that
line
The committee is in the field this
week taking deeds to the right of

learned that while the majority of the
citizens are anxious for the road and
are freely giving the right of way
there are a few who seem to block the
matter by refusing passage through
their lands.
However. there are two routes other
than the one surveyed that have been
picked out. and if the people along the
surveyed route are not sufficiently in
terested in the great enterprise to as
sist it to the extent of the right Of
way, there are others who will, and
that is the way the road will go.
A committee from Centerton was in
conference with the Business Mems
league at Bentonville short time ago
asking that the line come by that city,
promising right of way and all other
concessions necessary, and it may be
that this is the direction it will go if
encouragement is lacking along the
surveyed line.

Elbertus makes some bad lapSeS.
Having no religion of his own to
speak of Hubbard delights himself
in poking at other peoples religion.
That is a mistake
The man who jabs at things 81 sa-
cred as mans religion lays himself
liable. TO put it on critical grounds
alone, the destructive critic is always
in danger No shrewd dialectican
ever will champion a negative, And
when you say another mans religion
is false or a sham you are up against
il to prove that yours is a better one.
OF late Mr.. Hubbard has been goirg
after the revivalists-notably Mr..
Chapman and Billy" Sunday. whom
he charges with being in the business
for revenue only.
Which, of course, invites attention
to Mr.. Hubbard's own style of graft.
Now
Simply because a man is engaged
in religious work, must he starve or
go naked? It might easily be shown
that the two revivalsists mentioned
are able to make more money at other
business. And what they cart. they
are entitled to.
But
The main thing is this Some OF
their methods aside, methods that DO
