ASK DIVISION OF LANDS.
Aerarian Disturbances Threatened in
Russian Provinces.

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE
strike situation seems everywhere to
be improving. The Social Democrats
here have advised the strikers, who
are without money and confronted
with starvation, to return to work and
less than 10000 workmen are now out.
On the other hand the prospects OF
agrarian disturbances on large scale
are becoming decidedly more threat
ening and are causing the deepest con-
Germ. Many landed proprietors are
afraid TO go back to their estates. The
movement has not assumed a political
phase, but is in the old form of a de-
mand for redistribution of the land.
Aeitators are shrewdly spreading the
report that the emperor has decreed
such a division, telling the peasants
that the proprietors do not want to
submit and thus setting them against
the landlords "in the emperor's name"
The agitation has now spread to Sim
birsk province, where the peasants
are making ready to begin a division
OF the land as soon as the snow melts.
1t is reported that the terrorists
have formally notified the government
that they will cease their activity for a
month and await the result of the
rescript.
story is current that plot in the
aristooratic page corps has been un-
earthed, discriminating papers being
discovered on the person of a student
named Verhofsky, son of the general
of that name, and another student.
The authorities, however. deny all
knowledge of the plot.

JAPS OCCUPY TIE PASS.
In Possession of Strong Russian Posi-
tions There.

Toxic, March 1.-THE japanese oc-
cupied Tie pass at midnight, March Is
Tie pass was held by about a divi-
sion of Russian troops. After a slight
resistance the Russians evacuated at
midnight the strong position they had
prepared months ago, setting fire to
the railway station and other build
ings. The Japanese troops, which had
occupied Yinpao and East Fushun,
are in hot pursuit of the retreating
Muscovites along the Kidin road
The Japanese occupied Singking
March 13.
Singking, or Yenden, is situated
about eighty miles almost due east of
Mukden. A report received in Toxic
March IA from the japanese headquar.
ters in the field says:
In the direction of Singking our
forces have been dislodging the enemy
from Yingpan, eighteen miles east of
Fushun, and on March II occupied
that place.

MAY SURROUND KUROPATKIN
JAPANESE IN FORCE APPEAR TO
THE NORTH OF RUSSIAN PO-
SiTiON AT TIE PASS.

st. Petersburg, March 17.-The
news from the front is again very seri-
Gus. Field Marshal Oyama is striking
another blow at the defeated Russian
army. In spite of the exhaustion of his
forces after the long twelye-day strug-
gle for Mukden he has been able to
organize q fresh turning movement in
the hope of completing the victory won
under the walls of Mukden. Tuesdays
attack upon the Russian advance line
at the Fan river, 1t is now evident,
was only a feint while Japanese col
umns were being worked around to get
In position to fall upon the Russian
rear and Wednesday the blow was
struck, dispatch to the Associated
Press from Santoupu bringing to st.
Petersburg the first word that bat
tie was In progress north OF Tie pass.
That General Kuropatkin was taken
by surprise Is fair inference from
the manner in which Tuesday night
he abandoned the Fan river positions,
leaving SO hurriedly that he again was
Obliged to burn his stores to prevent
them from falling into the hands of
the Japanese. 1t is evident that
the Japanese forces struck in from
west of the Lao river. Tie pass is
practically the gate where the noun
tains and Lao river meet and it COM
mands the whole country northward.
With the Japanese in force behind
the Russian army at Tie pass General
Kuropatkin's position Is extremely
critical. Once the Japanese are across
the river In force Kuropatkin would
have to cut his way out or be sur
rounded.

Peoria, H., March 1.-THE Prairie
Oil and Gas company, the Kansas
branch of the Standard Oil company,
struck snag when it reached Peoria
county. The board of supervisors has
refused permission to the company to

less it can be induced to reconsider
this decision the men now at work

"PARsoN BIRD" Is CLEVER.
New Zealand songster That Can Be
Tauqht Much.


Among the feathered inhabitants of
New Zealand there is bird called the
parson bird, or tut" It is about the
size and shape of blackbird, but has
a pair of delicate white tufts at its
throat, and is a glossy dark green
otherwise, which looks black in the
sunlight. 1t can be taught to crow,
to speak to whistle tunes, and besides
these tricks it has a repertoire which
is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster At vespers 1t has
a note like the toll of bell or the
clear high note of an organ. 1t can
mimic every bird in the bush to per.
lection; 1t will break off in the middle
Of an exquisite melody and indulge In
a strange medley of sounds which are
impossible to describe, but If you can
imagine the combination of a cough
laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing
of a pane of glass" 1t will be some
approach to the idea.
The tut nests twice or thrice year
and has large families. Like the Other
birds of New Zealand 1t seems TO be
unconscious of danger from man. i
is pity that the birds of this islant
are becoming so scarce, for the!
speak to us of time when nature wa
harmless, when the snakes, tigers ant
! falcons did not exist.

words of Charlotte Bronte when, hav-

months, death came TO snatch the cup
of domestic felicity from the lips OF
the happy pair. A low, wandering de-

PATENT MEDICINES.

The crusade against patent medi-
cines" by Golfers, The Ladies' Home
Journal, and other high class maya
zine and periodicals is calculated to en-
tighten long suffering public. Ac-
cOrdng to analyses published, nine
tenths of these patent nostrums are
nothing but vile connections in which
whiskey and opium are the principal
ingredients. The so-called 'stan-
dard' nOStrums are the greatest
frauds of all, the most injurious, and
that these exposures are not followed
by libel suits is proof that the COM
panies have no defense and will con-
tinue to rely on foolish and gullible
public. Many of the larger publica-
tions refuse to accept the advertise
ments Of the medicine companies who
push upon the public these disguised
poisons. Even larger retail druggists
refuse to handle the "patent" nos
trums, the testimony of p. j. Noyes,

are flakes" However as long as the
demand exists he will handle patent
medicines, as a matter Of course.
The quantity of this not merely
useless but harmful truck that Is
absorbed by the confiding public Is
nothing short of wonderful. There
are few homes that do not contain
from one to half dozen varieties OF
these nostrums and pills, and the testi-
mony in their advertisements Is that
individuals and families have ordered
dozen or more bottles at time. The
editor remembers a grandfather who
was continually aiing and for years
consumed numberless bottles OF
Warmers Safe Cure, Scott's Emulsion,
Cod Liver Oil, Peruna, Piso's Con-
sumption cure, Hostetter's Electric
BItters, and various kinds Of pills. The
old gentleman finally got disguised,
took to chewing tobacco, climbed out
of bed, was healthy for years and met
sudden death while crossing railroad
track instead of lingering death from
patent medicine.
There are thousands OF homes in
Utah, millions in the United States,
where patent medicines are regarded as
absolutely indispensable. 1t is to be
hoped that the public will finally
come to realization of the enormity
and extent of this fakirism.

THE Difference.

Al the state Republican convention
in Virginia, Wednesday, Secretary OF
the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw set
forth the difference between the two
dominant parties at the present time
about as nicely as it has ever been
done. His speech throughout Is re-
plete with sound logic, forcible Illus
tration, with truth evidenced In every
word. Though Utah and Cache
county is almost to busy at the pres
ent time to consider aught but the
harvest, a portion of his speech is 50
opportune that il must needs prove OF
interest even at this time. lie says
"And now, my friends, what are
these principles which divide partlesE

questions of political economy. Every
industrious citizen is both producer
and consumer .... The dominant
party appeals to the producer. II

whether these products be labor or
the results of labor The opposition
party promises the American consum-
er the best market in the world in
which to buy. The Republican party
promises the producer the best mar
ket in the world in which to sell.
Gentlemen, we cannot have both.
our political opponents may promise
high-priced labor and cheap products,
high-priced wheat and cheap bread,
high.priced cattle and cheap meat, but
they make these promises without
possibility OF fultllment. Whenever
they have put their policies in opera
tion we have had the cheap products
of labor, for the products of cheap
foreign labor have found our markets
in Superabundancc.
The cheap products Of labor mean
cheap labor. Cheap factory product
carries as concomitant curse low
wages for the artisan, and low wages
for the artisan means curtailed con-
sumption Of farm products Curtail-
ed consumption of farm products re-
