VibOrg, European Russia, March 81.
Governor Miasorodoff was shot and
seriously wounded by boy. The as
sassin, who is about Is years old, is
Matti Hjalmar Reinikke, and obtained
an entrance to the governors Office and
fired three times at him, one bullet
inf1icting serious wound and the
others slightly wounding the govern
or's legs. The governors clerks and
secretary were unable to stop the
would-be sassin, who reached the
street, where, however, he was arrest
ed without struggle. The governors
condition is critical.
Admits That He IL 3 RevolutIonist.
The youth admits that he is revo-
lutionist. He halls from Kurikkeparis,
in the northwestern part of Finland,
but recently has been living in Stock
holm to avoid arrest on account of his
known revolutionary ideas. He re-
turned four days ago to Finland by
way of Tornea, and spent three days
in Viborg, but declines to reveal his
stopping place. Governor Miasorodoff
has been most energetic in the Russifi-
cation Of Finland, and memorials have
been sent to the estates petitioning for
bis removal ON account of his alleged
illegal methods and the general condi-
tons in his province, which were pro-
nounced to be intolerable.
First Shot from the Threshold.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Rein
like gained access to the governors
cabinet and fired shot from
the Threshold. Then advancing he
fired twice more, after which, jumping
behind and under the governors writ
ing table, with his pistol he held up the
clerks who were rushing in, and man
aged to reach the street. Secretary
Markoft. who followed him, summoned
assistance and the would-be assassin
was captured.

HAD JUST GOT TO WORK

Scene of Industry Converted Into a Scene
of Frightful Suffering.
The explosion which was followed
by such sacrifice of life occurred
down to work for the day. Suddenly
the air yibrated with the roar At the
same moment the large wooden frame
of the factory quivered, and then the
rear portion of it collapsed In frac-
ton of a second this section of the
great building had been transformed
into mass of iron and wood wreck
age, in the midst of which human be-
ingS were piniOned. In another mo-
ment fire had broken out in the debris.
and death by fire and suffocation be-
came the fate of scores of the opera
tives.
Sscenes of horror followed the
wrenching apart of the factory build
ing. In the rear the three upper floors,
weighted as they were with heavy
machinery, collapsed. Men and women
operatives were working in depart
ments of this section, had time but to
turn in an attempt to fee after the
first dull roar when the flooring sank
beneath them and they were carried
to the ground floor, crushed and bruised
amid the mass of debris. Many fell
into a veritable fiery furnace.
Scenes Of horror followed the
structure collapsed when a tongue of
flame started up from the boiler pit
and reaching out as it assembled COM
municated with the splintered wreck
age and Immediately afterward with
the standing walls. Soon fhe entire
factory was in flames.

cicany impossible to detect the crack"
said he. las it was on the inside part
of the lap. running beside the rivets.'

a Dutch Fishtnr yill.r..

Almost every fishing village in Hol-
land has its special dress and it's own
quaint customs. One can see from old
Dutch pictures that these have not va
ried for the last 200 years. One most
interesting place is the island of Mar
ken, a tongue of land on the margin OF
the Zuyder Zee, which can well be in
spected in couple of hours 1t is so
little above the sea level that the clus-
tiers of houses or tiny villages are
built on mounds connected by bridges,
and nearly every little house has it's
own little moat and its own little boat
everything except the people is on a
diminutiye scale in Holland-moored
near the door so as to be handy in
case of food. The houses, with the ex-
ception of the church and the clergy
mans house, are built of wood on high
piles. They are none Of them very old.
as the place has often been flooded
and burned. In winter Marker is often
under water, and the inhabitants use
boats to pass from one village to an
other. The cottages, which are painted
blue, green or black, with pointed ga
bles, and rooted with red tiles, are all
exactly alike and possess only Il
ground floor built on high piles.
A Royal Accomplish.
One day when Francis I. was in his
chapel attending mass with several of
his noblemen well dressed pickpocket
went and stood behind the cardinal OF
Lorraine and distracted his purse, but
unable to do this without the king per-
ceiving it he put up his finger to init
mate that the latter should keep 81
lence. The king took it for practical
joke and said never a word. But aft
er the service he asked the cardinal
what he had done with his purse. The
prelate, not being able to find it, was
very much annoyed and took the king
to task, who greatly enjoyed the fun,
and at length ordered the purse to be
restored to the cardinal. The thief
did not, however, come forward, and
the king discovered too late that he
had been tricked.

The farmers and stock raisers OF
this country would save millions Of
dollars every year if they could but
realize that the basis of all perform
ance Of more than ordinary worth is
blood. Any COW will give some milk,
and steer or hog will make some meat,
any sheep will produce some kind of
a lamb or some sort of wool, and any
horse pull, run or trot some-but what
every farmer needs and should want
is an animal that does its part well. We
have seen hundreds of men laugh at
and ridicule the horse that finished
away in the rear of the race at the
county fair, and whole lot of these
same men were keeping cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry that couldn't come
within a mile of any good animal Of
their class because they were not bred
right. When we make fun of man
who goes TO the races with a slow
horse, let us think of the man who is
raising scrubs for meat, dairying with
out dairy blood, or breeding horses
that are not intended for anything par
icular.-National Stockman.

Fruit Growing ON the Farm.

The greater value of fruit growing
TO the farmer is not primarily in its
commercial aspect, or how much
money it win bring in, although the
receipts from the sale of the surplus
are not to be despised, either; it is
rather the health of good living" that
comes from an abundant supply of all
kinds Of fruit that may be readily
grown in the locality, so that all the
year round the family may have all
they can consume. There are fruit
specialists, the Homestead remarks, of
course. just as there are specialists in
other lines Of farm industry, who make
handsome income out of the orchard
and small fruit paintings. They like
the work and therefore learn it easily
and keep on learning until they are
gray, and their knowledge becomes
more valuable every year by accretion.
Any young farmer who begins on a
scale adapted to his home needs may
grow into specialist of this kind, but
thousands never do. This is no reason
why the thousands should not have all
the fruit their families can use. Begin
ming with the most useful kinds and
those most easily grown, the farmer
can gradually surround himself with
a good home orchard and small fruits
of all kinds, that improve his living
and reduce its cost, thus adding to his
comfort and independence. We do not
find it necessary to do much in the way
Of urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about 1t to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in
it, while those who are not sufficiently
informed must work their way to it,
if at all, by beginning at the bottom
of the ladder; and there is no better
way to do this than by beginning with
few good trees in home orchard,
and small areas of small fruit for home
use. We do urge this upon every farm
er. If no cash income ever comes from
it, it is still worth all the expense in
time and money that it costs.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1905-08-05

buyers of such cattle are, as a rule,
excellent judges, and while the market
may be glutted with animals OF inferi-
or quality, there is always a demand
at remunerative prices for prime beef.
With these facts that have been prac-
tically demonstrated for more than .
century, no farmer can afford to grow
scrub stock on $40 land.
1t is gratifying to know that the av-
erage farmer is beginning TO realize
this. The unprecedented demand for
young thoroughbred bulls of servicea-
bic age at all the public sales of beef
cattle this season was most noticeable.
1t was late in starting, but when it be-
gan the trade was brisk, and the farm
er who has taken advantage OF the rea-
sonably moderate prices that have pre-
vailed throughout is just year in adj
vance of his neighbor who is yet hest
tating as to the advantages Of thor
oughbred over a scrub.-Progressivs

Isn't This Absolutely Truee

Nothing ever became popular-here or
in any other country-without reason.
Popular men have merit of some kind,
must have. or they would not be popular.
They must have exceptional merit and
wonderful character If their popularity In
creases with time.
As with men, so with goods. So with
any article that il on the market. 1t can
not increase its sales, it cannot be adopt
ed as q standard article, it cannot sur
vive generations unless it have real, inner
ent merit.
Millions of dollars spent in advertising
any article without merit, are just wasted,
so far az continued sales are concerned.
Intelligent housekeepers cannot be com
PEELED to buy what they do not approve of

cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its own
story of Lion Coffee and its quality
coffee that has been the leader of all
package coffees for more than q quarter
of century, that has steadily grown In
the affections of millions of American
homes since the first introduction, long,
long ago.
Its unexcelled favor, perfect purity and
uniform quality; its absolute cleanliness
and neat appearance, have endeared it to
the hearts Of the people.
Good grocers viii tell you this, but those
who drink coffee ought to know much
more about quality than they who simply
sell it.
Insist on Lion Coffee, buy no loose cof

get. How can your grocer!

Protecting Animal. From Flies.

The'period is upon the country when
flies by the millions are annoying the
cattle, horses and mules, so it is inn
possible for them to eat with peace,
and it is the duty of the owner to do
what he can to relieve his animals.
The department of agriculture has rec
commended the following formula as
the best known:
Take resin, IL pounds: laundry
soap, two cakes; fish-oil, one-half pint;
enough water to make three gallons.
Dissolve the resin in a solution Of
soap and water by heating; add the
fish-oil and the rest of the water. APP
ply with a brush. If to be used as a
spray, add one-half pint of kerosene.
This mixture will cost from seven to
eight cents per gallon, and may be
used on either calves or cows. One
half pint of this mixture is consid-
cred enough for one application for a
COW; calf. of course, would require
considerably less. II will be more eco
nomical to apply this only to the parts
of the animal not reached by the tail.
At first it will perhaps be necessary
TO give two or three applications per
week, until the outer ends of the hair
become coated with resin; after that,
retouch those parts where the resin
is rubbed off.-Southern Agriculturist
