Lending His Hand.

The occasions on which Prof. Far.
away was invited to speak in public
were times of great anxiety to mis-
wife. If she succeedd in starting him
for the platform properly clothed, and
with his notes in his hand, part Of
her cares vanished, but not all OF
them.
One evening her husband was one
of seven distinguished professional
men from all parts Of the country.
His speech was clear that night, free
from the absent-minded inurmurs
which sometimes interspersed his dis
course, and as he seated himself Mrs.
PARKWAY felt that he had fully earned
the burst of applause-and then her
cheeks crimsoned.
Did you see anything amusing
about the close Of my address, my
dear?" asked the professor, as they
started for home. 1T seemed as if I
heard sounds suggestive of merriment
about me-"
Il don't wonder" said Mrs. Far
away, who up to that time had main
tanned the silence Of despair, for Of
all the people who applauded your adj
dress, you, with your head in the air
and your chair tilted sidewise, clapped,
the loudest and longest"

remain on the poor farm the remainder
of his life.
In explanation of his strange request
he states that he prefers to remain there.

the farm and that he prefers to have Il

WAS A BIG MISTAKE
NEW YORK STRIKE WAS NOT AU-
THCR,ZgD BY NATIONALS.
A Violation OF the Laws-Men Are
Glad TO Return co Their Jobs
Little TO Indicate that There is a
Strike-Men Not Ordered Back.

Seventy policemen detailed TO duty in
and about the subway barns Mt One
Hundred and Forty-ffth Street and Len
OK Avenue, New York, were notified by
a police roundsman in charge shortly af-
ter midnight that strikers intended try
ing to stop all trains OH the subway and
elevated roads Mt l o'clock and that they
intended doing as much damage by VIC
lence at that hour as they could.
The executive committee of the joint
bodies of the amalgamated and the broth
erhood, after a meeting Thursday night,
issued n statement denying that Mr..
Stone had ordered the men TO return 10
work, and adding that the strikers would
fight until they won.
President Pepper and Messrs. Jencks
and Madden, the latter secretary of the
engineers, supplemented the commit
tees statements with attacks on Mr..
Stone, declaring that the local unions
were quite independent of the national
union in this matter.
w. ID. Mahon, president of the Anal
gaglated Association, supplemented his
earlier statement with a longer letter in
which he took practically the same stand
as Mr.. Stone. The strike, he said, was
declared against his advice, for, in addi-
ton to the demands for better conditions,
the document presented TO the company
contained the Endorsement of the local di-
vision Of engineers (motormen), which
violated the agreement with the com
pany. He added that he, President
Gompers, President Mitchell and others
offered their services to bring about an
adjustment, but their offer was rejected
In conclusion he says:
Nothing now remains to do but to
declare that the present strike is neither
authorized nor approved by the AmaIga-
mated Association of Electrical and
Street Railway Employees, and / urge
nil our loyal members TO report for duty

czAR YIELDS TO PEOPLE.
Russian A~utocracy Comedies Advisory
Council az Result of Uprising.

Council as Result OF Uprising.
In the Alexandra Palace at Tsars-
koe Selo, surrounded by the ministers
and a few members Of the court and
with the empress at his side. Emperor
Nicholas on Friday affixed his sigma
ture to a rescript containing his maj
esty's decree to give elected represen-
tatives of the people an opportunity
to express their views in the prepare
ton of he laws of the Russian empire.
At the same time a general strike
was being proclaimed at sectional
meetings of wOrkmen held in st. Pc
tersburg.
The imperial rescript is the autoc-
racy's final response to the agitation
in favor of participation by the people
in government which has brought Rus
sia In the last few months almost to
the brink Of revolution. It's import
must not be misunderstood. For the
present at least it involves no change
in the regime Of autocracy and 1t
means neither a constitution nor a ma
tional assembly.
At the same time it recognizes the
principle Of the peoples right to be
heard regarding laws under which
they must live. Whatever the result
may be, the document is ure to mark
an epoch in Russian history as import
ant if not more important than The
signing OF the emancipation manifes-
to, the twenty-fourth anniversary of
which it was intended TO ~signaliZe.
The signing OF the document came
at the end of a dramatic scene, the
climax of which was an imprisoned
speech by Emperor Nicholas TO his
ministers, in which he declared that
he sought only the welfare of his sub
jects. II am willing" the emperor
said, ito shed my blood for the good
of my people"
From the lips Of a high parsonage
who was present when the rescript
was signed came the following author
itative statement: 1.-The action OF the
emperor to-day is not a step toward
but the actual grant to the people OF
the means whereby their duly elected
representatives can place before his
majesty their views upon every import
ant measure affecting them and rec
commended by the council of the en-
pire."

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN
Obstruction Discovered in Time to
Prevent a Catastrophe.

A most determined effort was made
at Yankton Saturday morning to wreck
the incoming Great Northern train at a
point one mile east Of that city. A piece
of rail twelve feet long was wedged in
at the crossing of the Northern and Mil
waukee tracks in such a firm manner as
almost to defy the attempts of a pile
driving crew to remove it. 1t was only
the fact that the crew started out along
the track towards James River that dis
covery of the obstruction is due. 1t is
supposed to have been the work of
tramps.
The Milwaukee sends a passenger east
a short interval after the Northern gets
in, and both would have had to cross
the place where the rail was placed. The
affair has caused great CONSERVATION

Ordinance Was Too Strong--Ceh'er-
yilie's Liquor Regulations Defeat
ed Their Own Ends-lmportant
Decision on the License Question

A Sioux Falls special says: ,. IL.
Wright. a local attorney, during a re-
cent term of the state circuit court IN
Turner County. won a case which is or
inheritance as bearing on the powers OF
city councils In eGact!ng ordinances resu-
lating the liquor traffic.
At the last municipal election at Cen
~terville the question of granting hcehses
70 saloons was submitted to the v"rars
and was carried. Five applications Tor
license we're presented to the city council,
which granted four and rejected the 9TH
er. George Ii, Gyken, of LennoX, was
the unsuccessful applicant.
Prior TO the election, in anticipation OF
license carrying. he had purchased Il
building at Centerville and ordered u
certain amount of goods i'll order to be
in readiness 70 commence business as
, soon as license had been granted. Some
time afterward Mr.. Gyken, having III
the meantime secured a government and
county license, opened his place for bust
! ness. with Charles Radford as one of his
assistants.
Radford was then arrested on the
! charge of selling liquor within the cor
pOrate UNITS or CeHleENIlt "i'h'"' To-
ing secured a city license. lie was trled
by a Jury and defended by :. IL. Wright,
| who based the defense largely on the al
, legation that the license ordinance OF
Centeryille was in conflict with the state
license law.
City Attorney Bogue, Of Centerville,
maintained that the ordinance complied
with the state statutes in every respect
After being out only about ten minutes
! the Jury returned a verdict of guilty
| against Radford. The case was then APP
pealed to the state circuit court, where
! Judge f. G. Smith, sustained the con-
tentiom of Attorney Wright, holding the
| license ordinance Of Centerville void be-
cause it was in conflict with the state IL
quOr license laws.
Those who drafted the ordinance doubt
| less intended to make its terms so severe
that intending violators would be dls-
| couraged, but in making the terms of the
ordinance so ironclad the purpose of the
| ordinance was defeated and the ordinance
itself was declared void and not worth
the paper upon which it was written,
| because it did not closely follow the pro-
visions of the state liquor license law.

Gig YEAR FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
Predicted There Will be a Big Ruhs
of Settlers

A special from Sturgis says: South
Dakota is expecting another great year
in the arrival of new settlers in the ag-
ricultural districts. 1t is the opinion OF
many people that the Martin bill, provid-
ing for giving whole sections of land to
homesteaders instead of the usual quar-.
ter sections, is not Il good thing for the
state.
While it undoubtedly would stir up a
good deal of excitement and attract many
people, they would not be people looking
for homesteads to reside upon. They
would come rather for speculation, or to
get something for nothing. The state
is having a good, healthy growth, but not
a boom-and we don't want a boom.
