that he reminded him of Gen. Grant,

St Petersburg and see the Little
Father. and in the interest of human

If he thought the car would grant
an audience to an American of en-

Russian told dad that Nicholas just
dotted on Americans, and that there
was hardly ever an American ballet

the car sent for her to come and see
him and dance before the grand dukes.

met a young man from Chicago,
who is here selling reapers for the
harvester trust, and he says If you are
once suspected OF having sympathy
with the working people who are on
a strike you might just as we'll say
your prayers and take rough on rats,
cause the Cossacks will get you, and
he would advise me and dad to get
out of here pretty quick, but when
told dad about 1t he put one hand on
his heart and the other on his pants
and said: "Arnica, arnica. arnica!"
and the police that were on guard
near his room thought he meant an
archy, and they sent four detectives
to stay in dads room.
The people here. the Chicago young
man told me, think the Cossacks are
human hyenas, that they have had
their hearts removed by a surgical
operation when young, and a piece
of gizzard put in in place OF the heart,
and that they are natural murderers,
the sight of blood acting on them
the same as champagne on a hu-
man being, and that but for the
Cossacks Russia would have a popu-
lation of loving subjects that would
make It safe for the Little Father to
go anywhere In Russia unattended,
but with Cossacks ready to whip
and murder and laugh at suffering
the people are becoming like men
bitten by rabid dogs. and they froth

carry bombs up their sleeves, ready
to blow up the members Of the royal

Brain Workers.

Brain workers suffer from headache because they over-tax and exhaust the brain nerves.
 Tired, irritated, turbulent brain nerves throb and ache; this weakens the brain power, and robs the memory.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills bring tranquility to the ex- cited nerves and stop the pain.
 If not relieved, this nerve disturbance is frequently ex- tended to the stomach, causing nausea, vomiting-sick head ache.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are convenient to take-just a little tablet, that in a few mo- ments relieves the pain; they leave no disagreeable after effects, as they contain no opium, morphine, cocaine or chloral in any form.
 s'From personal experience I can testify that Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are a most excellent remedy for head ache and neuralgia. I have been. great. sufferer from both diseases for the past three years. A friend who had also suffered from neuralgia handed me some Of the Anti-Pain Pills I took them and they gave me almost instant relief. Since then I have a package at nome. and another at the office, and they never fail to relieve me-. F.. V. MEGARI.

The Albany Disaster.

Albany, August 9. -Twelye are known
to be dead, twenty-seven injured and in
the hospitals, and over forty are missing
as a result of the collapse of the John G.
Myers Department store on north Pearl
street yesterday morning. That score
or more bodies still remain beneath the
wreckage seems certainty. The prop
erty loss is estimated at million dollars.
The fact that fire did not break out has
made it possible to save Considerable OF
the stock. That it occurred at an early
hour was also fortunate, for had it &C.
Cured an hour later the store would have
been thronged with buyers, and in that
case the loss of lite would been much
greater. The cause of the disaster seems
to have been the giving away Of brick
pier on which rested an iron column sup
porting one of the center walls Of the
building, the collapse being due to an
excavation made beneath a pier for a
foundation for which new work forming
part of extensive improvements WAS to
