LEADERS ORDER STRIKERS
TO ABANDON BARRlCADES

After the last volleys In the Vassili-
ostroff quarter at midnight the men
abandoned the few barricades which
they held until that hour and retired.
The word was passed around by the
leaders to remain quiet for the present.
During the night a fine, damp snow
fell, covering the ugly red stains and
obliterating all traces of the eonflict
of Sunday and with the break of day
the city, except for the presence of
troops in the streets, had resumed it's
normal appearance. The shops had
reopened and general traffic was par
TALLY resumed. The men appeared at
work in several of the factories and
mills, including the works of the Rus
sian Westinghouse company, but the
managers in majority of cases told
the men to remain away for few days
and that In the meantime they would
receive their pay.
The people generally were nervous
and apprehensive and kept indoors.
The strikers. looking weary and hag-
gard, collected in sullen little groups
In the vicinity of their various head
quarters and barricades awaiting the
decision of their leaders regarding the
plan OF action. They were In an ugly
mood and broke out In curses when
ever soldiers marched by.
An early morning tour by the CORE
spondent OF the Associated Press
showed that Gordon of troops barred
the entrances Of the city from the big
Industrial sections.
The authorities have advised the
factory owners not to admit the men,
as they had stolen a lot of dynamite

Columbus, o., Jan. 24.-Alarmed by
the suicide OF Charles III. Houseman,
cashier of the East SidaeSayings bank,
depositors have instituted run on
the bank. The street is lined with
men, women and children demanding

The suicide is said to have been
caused by business worry, but the
directors of the bank declare it is

The directors of the bank applied

The run has practically stopped and

Chamberlain Cough Remedy the Best
Made.
"In my opinion Chant erlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds,
says Mrs. Cora Walker of Po.terville
California. There is no doubt about il
being the best. No other will cure a
cold so quickly. No other is SO sure a
preventive of pneumonia, No other is
SO pleasant and safe to take. These are
good reasons why it should be pre-
ferred to any other. The fact is that
few people are satisfied with any other
after having once used this remedy.

PORTION OF THE CITY
IN UTTER DARKNESS.

Shortly before d. M. the electric
light plant supplying the upper sec
ton of the Nevsky Prospect and sew
eral MINISTRIES was suddenly shut
down, leaving the thoroughfare ia ut
ter darkness and causing a renewal of
apprehension that trouble was immi-
nent Enormous crowds at that hour
were parading the sidewalks and
squadrons of cavalry were moving up
and down. The innocent spectators
hastily hurried into the side streets.
1t is said that an emergency battery
OF machine guns is located in court
yard opposite the Hotel del Europe.
Panic exists in the darkened por-
tion of the city. The correspondent
of the Associated Press has returned
from trip through the Nevsky Pros
pect as far as the Moscow station. All
the stores and houses are closed and
the windows and doors are barred, but
sullen crowds of strikers continue in
the streets. The whole appearance of
the district is sinister and an explosion
might occur at any minute. The po-
lice are going from house to house
warning the people to remain indoors,
an Injunction which the terror stricken
Inhabitants, sitting In their darkened
homes, are glad to obey.
The greatest fear is that the water
supply will be cut off and the city
burned.

EMPEROR Is COMPLETELY
| FRUSTRATED BY GRIEF

Emperor Nicholas is completely
prostrated by grief. He is represented
to be almost in state Of collapse over
the situation. In the meantime every
thing awaits his decision. All the
schools are closed.
As the day advanced the crowds on
Nevsky Prospect increased, but the
police did not allow them TO collect.
Squadrons of Cossacks, with lances
and carbines, patrolled the thorough
fare as reminder of what would hap
pen at the least disturbance. Half a
regiment of infantry stacked arms and
remained on duty on the Morskaia, a
fashionable boulevard of the city, and
at noon troops were again marched
into the palace square, where people
were once more trying to collect. All
the grand dukes palaces were strong
ly guarded.
st. Petersburg has often witnessed
rioting, clearing the streets of demon
strators and Cossack charges with
whips and sabres, but the bloodshed
of Sunday is unparalleled in its history
and the many stories of brutality told
by the populace seem to have con-
vinced them that a programme of de-
liberate blood letting was planned to
overawe the strikers. This is most in
dignantly denied by the authorities,
who protest most earnestly that they
regret that the situation compelled
such stern measures. They say order
had to be restored or the city would
have fallen into the hands of the mob.
The sale Of petroleum has been for
hidden by the police to prevent the
possibility of the strikers attempting
to destroy the city by. fire.
The troops received their noon meal
In the streets, steaming camp kitchens
being driven from place to place.

Great Five Mile Race.

Four states will vie for Champion
ship in good riding at the Inter
State Live Stock Fair at Sioux City,
September 11-l6. Fof the most skill
full riders of Colorado, Idaho, Wyom-
ing and South Dakota will take part
in the novel six day relay race which
is to be one OF the attractive features
of the fair. The representative of
Colorado is a young woman, Miss
#Odeit, haillng from Burdette, and
acknowledged to be unsurpassed in
lorsemanshir. Idaho's man is Buck
Fisher, OF Fort leur D'Alene, while
Jack Birmingham, best cowboy in
Wyoming, will represent that state.
aScotty'' Phillips, of Fort Pierre,
S. D., has made an agreement with
Secretary Wirick to furnish South
Dakota's representative in tile race
and is now looking over the best rid
ers of South Dalsota's ranges to find
the best rider. Each contestant
must dlsmount and mount a new
horse at the end of each half mile.
Five miles will be run thus each day,
ten horses being required for each
rider. The n who makes the best
time for the entire week will be de-
clared the winner. Owing to the fact
that forty horses must participate in
the race and the rules require not
only splendid riding but lightning
action in changing mounts, the race
affords thrills that can be experienced
with no other.

One ON the Conductor.

oho OM AS
William +. Sanders, who died recent
ly at Helena, Mont, was q noted char
acter. Senator Sanders was a passen-
ger on of the Montana railroads at
one time. He had an annual pass on
the road, but on this occasion he had
left it at home. He had Travelled the
same route many times before and
was we'll known to the conductor.
When that official came around for
tickets the colonel told him of his for
getfulness. The conductor, however.
was obdurate. He must have ticket or
money. The colonel, rather than have a
scene, finally pulled out a five dollar
bill, which was ample to owe the ex-
pense Of his trip. 1t was a very ragged
affair-all torn and pasted.
That's a fine looking bill to give
me-" growled the conductor.
Colonel Sanders was by this time
thoroughly nettled.
"Well," he cried out in a voice that
could be heard all yer the car, "if you
don't like 1t turn it in to the COM
panyr!'
The laugh that went up was at the
expense OF the conductor.-Pittsburg

I DEPARTMENT OF SOUTH DAKOTA
4 woMAN,S RELIEF CORPS
SUE c. MouLroN, Press Correspondent,
\ Faulkton, 5. ID.

The department of South Dakota.
though one OF the smaller stars in
the great national gallery, is with
true western energy and push. surely
coming to the front. Already since
the convention year opened one strong
corps has been organized, and the
little leaven which has fallen from
the lips of our department president
as she has visited a few of the corps
in the state, is arousing to new life
and interest some which through adj
verse circumstances had become
somewhat discouraged. All this
clearly proves that Mrs. Lukens is
the righy woman in the right place.
Phil. N. Kea1ney w. r. G. of
Yankton, the banner corps of last
year IN press reports, is still holding
its laurels and unless the other corps
bestir themselves this one will again
lead. AT their recent social about
one hundred guests enjoyed the same
delightful time which is always a
feature Of this popular orders enter
tainments. A cake contest was held
in which the answer to a question
was the name Of a cake. We have
only room fl L n as a sample "What
cake does the democrat prefer?"
which CT course was silver cake. Out
of twenty-three questions only nine
were correctly answered. Mrs. Vro-
man. of Aberdeen, gave several very
enjoyable readings, some from Ger
man dialect
RoberG L. McCook w. r.. G. of
Brookings held a special meeting for
the reception Of the department
president, an hour greatly enjoyed by
the members. Many new and help.
full ideas and suggestions were given
regarding both the ritual and flag
work. A the close of the session a
dainty lunch was served.
Phil. Ii. Sheridan w. II. G. of
Faulkton initiated one, and received
one application at their last meet
ing. BY a unanimous vote it was de-
cided to remodel their hall and add
twenty feet at the rear for a kitchen.
The Woman's Relief Corps is an eN-
ponent Of patriotism. a part of its
! work is to secure greater interest in
everything pertaining to the flag. We
wish the flag salute might be used at
lesat once every day in ali our public
schools. Every mother in the state
should identify herself With the W.
r. c. that through her influence in
the home the children may be taught
to love and reverence the flag.

The French literary hero Worshipers
are a serious lot. A proposal to place
a bust of Victor Hugo in the court
yard of the last house he occupied in

facts. The house stands in the Rue

out:
See here, if you'll resign from this
organization I'll give you $780,"
