AS SEEN IN HER DARK HOUR
An Ex-Russian's Story of the
Empires Lawlessness.

OF All MuscOvite TerrOrs the Uligani
Are the Worst, Says Joseph Mandel-
kern-Murder, Robbery and Graft
Everywhere-Fear of Law Dead.
All Glasses Cry For a Change.
Joseph Mandelkern, real estate
dealer In New York, returned a few
days ago from a long visit to his native
Russia, the first he has been able to
make in twenty-three years, and he
brings back a thrilling story of the
things he saw there, says the New
York Times
nation in dissolution; govern
ment too weak to govern but still
strong enough to kill and rob until
the deluge comes; people too des-
perate to fear death, yet too fatalistic
to court it; land full of murder and
robbery and terrors Of every kind; the
fear of God and the fear of the car
supplanted by fear of new power,
the Uligani, organized robbers of the
underworld these were what Mr..
Mandelkern says be found in Russia.
And Of all the terrors in Russia he
found this newest, the Uligani, the
worst. When he left the city of Bielos-
tok, in Russian Poland, as youth, to
seek his fortune in the United States
the very word Uligani was unknown.
Now it met his ear on the railroad
train that carried him from Germany
into Russia within q few minutes aft
er he had passed the boundary at
AlexandrOvO. 1t entered into every
conversation he held, with friends or
strangers, in mis- home city. He heard
it uttered in terror at the bier of
murdered friend. When he looked for
his dead fathers gravestOne the same
word was whispered into his ear by
the gravedigger as a warning. When
he wanted to seek rest and recreation
in a public park he heard 1t again on
the lips Of the gendarme.
The Uligani are the voorhees, and
homeless. the tramps and Outcasts, the
men and women without memories or
hopes or ties, Of whom GOrky has writ
ten. Taking advantage Of the chaotic
state produced by the war and the
passive resistance of the people. Mr..
Mandelkern says, they have instituted
reign Of terror throughout whole
provinces. Their meetings are held in
the graveyards at night. Orgies take
the place Of debates. without religion
and without morals, they think only Of
satisfying the animal passions which
have so long been suppressed by the
iron hand of law.
At these graveyard conferences the
victims are picked and committees Of
! extortion appointed. Then by twos
and threes the Ulgani make their
! dreaded calls The demand in every
I case is the same-mOney or your life.
! No man who owns property is safe.
No man who refuses has Il chance Of
! escape unless he deserts all and fees
TO another land The troops and the
police are pOwerless Pitched battles

GRANGE COMMENDED.
Its Refining Influence on the Home Lif

Its Refining Influence on the Home Life.
1t has been my good fortune, says a
writer in the Tribune Farmer, to visit
hundreds of farms 10 Michigan and other
states during the last few years, some
times in an official capacity. | now call
to mind that in a great majority of these
homes, where various refining influences
were evidently at work, the father and
mother, and frequently one or more of
the children, belonged" to the Grange,
Michigan is a great Grange state, hay
ing membership of nearly 10000 in
over 700 subordinate Oranges. Some of
the most prominent men in the state
who occupy the highest official positions
are, and have been for years, members of
the Grange Such men as ex Governor
Cyrus G.. Luce, J. j. Woodman, George
b. Horton and numerous others have a
national reputation in Grange official life.
Those men have been practical farmers
and made complete success of their
vocation, and they freely state that the
Grange has been great help to them in
many ways.
Ia visiting a farm home | could, in a
few hours time invariably determine
the dominating influences that obtained
for the betterment of the various in
dividuas in that family. The papers,
books, pictures, manners, and even the
general use of the English vocabulary
revealed much to the visitor. The farmer
might be poor, the house plainly and
even scantily furnished, but plenty of
good literature, denoting the reading
habit with a certain congenial atmos-
phere, Away made me feel inauisitive to
know more about the folks at home"
have been surprised to find in so many
cases that the Grange was largely re-
spousible for the good influences which
so thoroughly permeated such farmers
family. ard IN every case the various
members of such a family were free to
praise the good work the Grange had
done in their home.
In those communities wherein IL
| Grange and farmers clubs have a strong
membership one finds the ideal farm
homes.

Food Value of fruits.

The average fruit eater does not give
it credit for having special food value.
They eat 1t because it tastes good. Dame
Nature made no mistake in creating
fruits, which, like the i'll fated apples In
the Garden of Eden, were pleasant to
the eye but equally agreeable to the
sense OF taste. We relish fruits OF all
kinds, but the more attractive they are
the better we like them. The red apple
is always the most salabe. Frequen thy
high quality is disregarded in fruit
having PLAIN appearance, while the
SNOWY varieties sell at good prices re.
CARELESS Of quality. Fruits lookI good
because they are good to eat. The acids
they contain are strictly medicinal, in
fact, are death to the many microbes,
bacteria, disease germs and other bug
a-boos that infest the human system
during hot weather when so many kinds
of fruitsare in season and are the cheap
est and best food obtainable.
We admit that fruits are largely water,
but it has been distilled by nature in a
laboratory that does not admit impuri-
ties to enter her products. Fruits also
contain certain organic salts and other
elements which are highly beneficial to
blood and the digestive organs In sum
mer, when the air and earth is often
| filed with germ life to destroy the weak
| lings and thus strengthen the race-a
cruel law of Nature but in harmony with
good, righteous living.
Fruits, in some form, should enter
very largely into our diet during the
! fall and summer months. We would
| live longer and feel better if one meal a
! day was made up of an assortment of
fruits. The pure, disease destroying
water they contain is needed to flush
the system of impurities, which accumu-
late from the eating of too much meats,
often diseased, aud other concentrated
foods. The exhibit of fruits at the Min
nesota state fair proves that the North
west can beat the world growing good
! fruits. There is no excuse but neglect
or laziness for the farmer who compels
his family to go without them.-North-
western Farmer.

Spread Out Too Thin.

The general farmer is spread out too
thin. He is dairying, raising stock,
fruit growing, poultry promoting and
trying to get good crops of ten or twelve
kinds for the fields, all at one and the
same time. 1t is nerve racking to the
person whose theory is that whatever is
worth doing is worth doing well. 1t
takes faith, nerve and specialized knowl-
edge to be successful as a specialist
and if his one prop breaks, down he
goes. SO the average farmer consoles
himself with doing the many things in
the best way that the limits of time,
hands and feet will permit, .and letting
it go at that. But as time goes, on the
speciality asserts itself in neighborhoods
as well as states. The plan Of Governor
Warner to place Michigan in the front
ranks as dairy state is consistent with
natural facilities and with good farms
and every day income. 1t is not a one
legged industry, either. The seed lines
include grain, hay and raising of stock
TO some extent, and the cow thus be-
comes the automatic oiler whose fatty
product renders slicker the business
ways of the armer.-Cadillac News *

There amt no fun IN our house

He allus called to me
An soon as we quit supper
He took me on his knee,
An we jus play till bed time
An late, too, we would stay;
But there amt no fun in our house
Since daddy went away.

Come back to her and me;

Up in heaven some bright day,
But not to cry for daddy
Coz he had to 90 away.
She said at God JUS took him
Up in heaven where its grand,

NOT VIOLATION OF SCRIPTURE
Clergyman Had Sufficient Reason for
Urging Divorce.

One Of the witnesses called in a Chi
cago divorce case last year was a
highly respected clergyman in the
Windy City. According to one of the
counsel in the case, the following con-
versation took place between the
judge and the minister. Said His
Honor:
DIR. Blank, If you were on the bench
in my stead, and you were acquainted
with all the circumstances of this
case, would you grant this divorce?"
"Assuredly l would, Your Honor"
replied the clergyman, without the
least hesitation.
But said the Judge, "how do you
reconcile this assertion with the in
junction of Scripture, Whom God
hath Joined let no man put asunder'?'
your Honor" responded the min
lister. with convincing gravity. 4 am
quite satisfied that the Almighty never
Joined this couple" -Harper's Weekly.

New ChatteI Mortgage Law.

Among the many laws enactedIby the
last state legislature was one pertaining
to the filing of chattel mortgages. The
city authorities of Coldwater have look
ed up the law, says the Reporter, and
find that it plainly sets forth that here
after all chattel mortgages must be ac-
companied by an affidavit setting forth
that the mortgage has been made in a
bona tide manner and is full and ade-
quate. The clerk mustirefuse all mort
cages not so testified to. The instru.
ment is intended to prevent the filing of
dummy mortgages intended to defeat
creditors. But in the meantime it has
caught some of the chatte mortgage
men in an uncomfortable position. 1t
is the usual custom of most of the loan
men to deduct from the principal.o the
loan made, the interest due in advance.
So that though the face of the mortgage
reads, say $780, actually but 800 was
paid to the borrower. Under the cir
cumstances it will puzzle theSmortgagee
to secure the affidavit, setting forth that
the mortgage is full and adequate and
bona fide.-Ex.

LEADER KNEW NO FALTERING.
Even After Death John Ziska Inspired
His Adherents.

John Ziska, who made war on be-
half Of the prosecuted Hussites
against the Emperor Sigismund, was
only once defeated, and forced his
sovereign in the end to treat with
him on terms of equality.
Ziska lost one eye very early in his
career, and the other at the storming
of Prague. Nevertheless, though to-
tally blind, he continued to lead his
adherents from victory to victory. He
died eventually of the plague while
besieging the castle of Craslau.
But even then his usefulness was
not at an end, for his skin was tanned
and made into a drum-head, in &C
cordance with his last wishes, and its
martial music served to inspire the
Hussites with an ardor that eventually
overCame all obstacles.

life a Business.

Life is a business we are all apt to mis-
manage. either living recklessly from
day to day or suffering ourselves to be
gulled out of our moments by the mani
ties of custom. We should despire a
man who gave as little activity and
forethought to the conduct of any other
business.-R. l.. Stevenson.

THE GRANGE.
Conducted by Geo. l.. Rich.

When assumed control of this depart
ment, it was my intention to confine il
as nearly as possible to the work
OF the Grange in Van Buren, county,
giving reports OF meetings. future pro-
grams, essays, and papers written for
and read in Grange meetings. This we
cannot do without the aid OF some mem
Der of each Grange, and we selected the
lecturer as being the one who would be
best able to furnish reports. So, w.
lecturer, send us something every week
following the publication of the Grange.
The lecturer OF Woodman Grange,
Sister Eta Healey sends US the follow
ing, for which we return our thanks:
Thursday, October 49, was the 3Oth
anniversary of the organization OF Wood
man Grange. The patrons assembled at
their hall with buggies loaded with boxes,
baskets and chickens, dressed and alive.
"a glance at the date on the front of
the hall. October 10, 1879, would tell why
we had chosen that day for our fair.
ut did not take long to distribute the
contents of those boxes and baskets
about the hall, covering the sides with
beautiful quilts of plush, silk, velvet and
calico. Tides, centerpieces, doilies and
shell portieres.
Zone long table held a fine display of
relics, another display of vegetables of
all kinds, while the third drew the atten-
ton of hungry crowd. There were
canned goods and baked goods, candy,
etc, until we all envied the judges their
job
after the lunch baskets we're cleared
away, the crowd gathered in the upper
hall and listened to a short program,
while the charter members occupied
seats of honor At the close of the pre-
gram the sisters brought forth some of
the bread, cake, pies, jelly and fruit to be
sold at auction, the proceeds going into
the Grange treasury"
Thus ended a day of pleasure long to
be remembered by all present"

Cost of Icing Fruit Cars.

In the investigation of the affairs Of
the Armour car lines by the Interstate
Commission at Chicago last
week H, P. Ober. manager of the
perishable freight traffic Of the North
ern Pacific. testified that the cost Of his
company for icing a car averaged from
$1.10 to $1.75. He declared that the
average charge for icing cars and
numerous re-icings was $25 per car ON
shipments of fruit from Western points
to st. Paul when the company's own
cars were used. When the Armour
cars were used a charge of $35 was
made. and the extra $40 went to the
Armour people. in addition to the
rental charges made by the Armour
lines. Mr.. ODER said that his company
only charged shippers Of fruit the
actual cost for the icing of the cars.

THE NEVADA UNIVERSITY.
Present Cost of Educating q Pupil
More Than $3.50 q Year.

The correspondent in the Carson APP
peal who first preached the subject Of
moving the Nevada University from
Reno to Carson, has another communi-
cation In the Appeal of May 8 in which
he asks the people to earnestly consider
the facts in the case. He shows the
advantages Carson offers for the UNI
versity in the following
eff o mistake has been made In The
location of our Institution of Higher
Education, let us be sensible and hasten
to correct it. The very argument which
has been used to belittle the town of
Carson, its dizziness and lack of hustle.
are in its favor as a University town.
Students are not supposed to need the
stimulus of a business center, with its
accompaniment of saloons and gaming,
to aid in obtaining an education. AS
the State Capital, Carson will always
contain a class of people of refinement
and culture as it is necessarily the home
of the Supreme and the United States
Judges and also of the States Officers,
who ought to represent the best ele-
ment of the State. The State Library
is also Of inestimable value to the stu
dent, with its large collection of laws
and historical works. No other library
in the State can hope to compete with
ii in size and general usefulness.
"The University now. has an income
of more han $50. 900 from various
sources, not counting student fees,
which makes the present cost of ed
ucating a pupil something more than
$3.50 a year. Some departments record
only one pupil, for which a corps of
teachers must be provided. That the
same expense would double the number
of pupils is self evident. Do not these
plain facts appeal to every thinking
citizen of this growing commonwealth F?
Sentiment should not stand in the way
of advancement"
