SUMNERSCHOOLCLOSED
All Rooms win Be Funnigated Be-
cause OF Smallpox.

Sumner school was closed today and
the building fumigated by the city
sanitary department under instruc-
tions from the board of health The
fumigation was done as a precau-
tionary measure to guard against the
further spread of smallpox, one of the
students having been quarantined
with the disease late last week.
In addition the board of health has
ordered that all of the school children
attending Sumner must be subjected
to vaccination unless they have been
previously vaceinated. This order
was decided upon at a meeting of the
board of health last evening.
Supt. L. D. Whittemore of the city
schools stated that the order would
be carried out. "T anticipate no
trouble in the enforcement of the or
der"
No strenuous measures viii be re-
sorted to with regard to the diphtheria
which exists in Oakland, the board OF
health deciding that a conference
would be held with the county physi-
clan before any quarantine measure
would be carried out.
Five cases of chickenpox were re-
ported to the sanitary department this
morning. The cases exist in the fol-
lowing families: T. S. Mather, 1858
Lane street; Mrs. Broode, 1855 Lane;
J. Barnes, 218 West Seventh; z. Voil,
623 West Third street; J. B. Peterson,

PAWN THEIR CLOTHES.
Striking Russian Worlmen Reduced
to Desperate Conditions.

St. Petersburg. Nov. 2S.@The work
mems council threatens the country
with another general strike to compel
the employers of st. Petersburg who
locked out about 10000 men yester-
day, to reopen their doors. The men
had refused to return to work under
the old conditions. Delegates have
been dispatched to cities in the interior
to ascertain whether they will support
the movement.
Destitution is causing many work
men to turn against the agitators.
During the last strike actual starva-
ton prevailed. The men had neither
money to buy food or bury the dead.
There were cases of workmen remain
ing naked in bed at home, having
pawned every. stitch of clothing to re-
lieve the hunger of their families and
themselves.

THEY WANT TO VOTE.
100000 WOrI1ingmen Parade the
Streets of Vienna.

Vienna, Nov. 2s.-Some zoe, 900 repre-
sentatives os organized labor made a
demonstration before the department
buildings today and paraded the streets
of the capital in support of their de-
mand for the election of members Of
the reichsrath by universal, equal and
direct suffrage.
The demonstration was under theaus-
pices of the social democrats. Most of
the factories and many Of the shops and
offices were closed. The procession
mustered on Karlsplaz and headed by
banners, marched to the parliament
buildings, where a deputation presented
a petition for universal suffrage to the
premier and presidents of both houses.
The presidents were sympathetic. They
said they recognized that the foremost
duty of the legislature was to listen to
the cry for an extension of the suffrage
which was reaching parliament from all
classes Of society. At the same time
they pointed out the difficulties Of deal
ing with so far reaching a reform in
the public political and national cOndi~
tions in Austria and declared that 1t
would only be accomplished when parlia-
ment could meet TRANQUILITY without be
ing swayed by outside influence.
The premier, Baron Gautch Won
Frankenthurn promised soon to lay the
Intentions of the government in detail
before the lower house. He said he was
firmly convinced that tranquility and
order were the best means of promoting
electoral reforms.

FEAR OF The ARMY
Sedition Makes Its Appearance
Among Cars Troops.
Soldiers Hold Meetings and
Adopt Resolutions.
MANCHURIAN REPORTS
Are Exceedingly Disquieting to
the Government.
A Crisis Is Near in the SebastO-
pol Situation.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 28-There was
an exceedingly panicky feeling on the
bourse today. imperial feurs again
dropping to 81. Government lotteries
and industrials fell several points. The
markets were affected by fear of the
spread of wholesale sedition in the
army. The radical papers are filed
with reports of meetings of soldiers in
different places and the adoption of
resolutions calling for public trial of
soldiers, the abolition of the death
penalty, an increase of pay, a cash al
Iowance in place of food and clothing
and a reduction of the term Of service
to four years. The similarity of the
resolutions is proof that they were in
spired from a common source and
show the growth of the revolutionary
propaganda among the troops.
The reports from the Manchurian
army are also disquieting. Many OIL
GERS and soldiers involved in the re-
volt at Harbin have been arrested and
a number of agitators who arrived
there from European Russia were
caught red-handed by General Line
witch.
From Tiflis and Kars, Transcaucasia,
come reports that the soldiers are tax
ing stand against firing on the peO-
pie and private dispatches from 0des-
meeting held at the university last
night decided in the event of the Sc
bastopol mUtineers bringing the Black
sea feet to Odessa to join the mutt
neers and take possession of the city.
The government announced today
that unless the mutineers at Sebastopol
surrender before midnight armed
forces will be used. But there is grave
doubt here whether General Baron
Meller Gakomaski, commander of the
Seventh army corps, who is in charge
of the situation, dare put the soldiers
to the test of firing on their comrades.
It is significant that although the
crews of the loyal ships refused to
join the mutineers they declined, ac-
cording to the dispatches. to carry out
orders to put to sea. This may in
dicate their purpose to stand and meet
force with force in the event of the
soldiers and artillery ashore firing on
the sailors barracks.
Time Nearly Up.
Sebastopol, Nov. 28.-The time limit
allowed the mutinous sailors to sur
render expires today. The command
of the cruiser Otchakoff, whose crew
mutinied, has been assumed by Lieu
tenant Scheddt, who was dismissed
from the service on account of his
revolutionary tendencies. The town
council has asked for help to save the

that he is equally guilty; the victim
Identifies both men-and the jury
brings in a verdict Of not guilty.
A verdict Of this kind invites law
Iessness and crime. Attorney Costigan,
who assisted in the case, was ap-
preached by well known attorney of
this city this morning, who congratu-
lated him upon his success in the
case, but as he turned to leave he
said: "Costigan. you are to be con-
graduated as a lawyer, but you have
assisted in perpetrating an outrage
upon a decent community"
The jury could only find the verdict
which it did by disregarding the tes-
timony of John Croft. the self-con-
fessed accomplice, and that of Kuntz
himself. If Groh's confession is the
result of a disordered intellect and
the story which he has told is myth,
as the jury seemed to think. then he
should be turned loose and told to go
his way with his pal, Cal Heck.
County Attorney Hungate and Sher-
iff Lucas have worked increasingly on
this case, and the chain of evidence
which they produced seemed abso-
Iutely complete in every detail. It is
poor encouragement for officers to re-
ceive treatment of this kind when
they are trying to weed the lawbreak-
ers and criminals out of a COM
munity. There is really no way of
figuring out how the jury in this case
made the findings which they did.

FUSS OVER DEWEY DEED
Action to Force Cheyenne Register to
Record Instrument.

The supreme court this morning
granted an alternative writ of man
damus, returnable at the next term of
court, to compel W. 3. Sheeder, reg
lister of deeds of Cheyenne county, to
register a deed conveying all the
Dewey ranch lands in Cheyenne county
from Gertrude NJ. Dewey, wife of the
late Charles P. Dewey, to B. Walker
Peterson.
The deed was rendered to Mr.. Sheed-
er for registry, and he sent back the
following answer on November II:
Il have investig.a Sd the matter of
recording the Dewey-Fe instru-
ment, and find that it would be i'm
possible for me to place this upon our
records. Hoping that this will not
cause you any serious inconvenience,
am, yours truly,
''W. B. SHEEDER."
The mandamus suit against Mr..
Sheeder is brought by Robert J.
Brock of Manhattan, where Mrs.
Dewey lives. The deed is a very ex-
tensive affair, as it conveys to Mr.
Peterson, for a consideration not
named all the real estate in Riley
Shawnee, Marion, Geary, Cheyenne,
Rawlins Decatur, Sherman and
Thomas counties in Kansas; also land
in Brazoria county, Texas; also land in
Red Willow, Hays, Dundy, Frontier
and Hitchcock counties in Nebraska: :
also town lots in Des MOines; also all
the land and interests of the c. P
Dewey Land & Cattle company and
the Manhattan Ice, Light & Power
company.
The petition for the writ sets forth
that all of the county registers with
the exception of Cheyenne county have
recorded the deed.

opinion on the question of counting bal

WILL NOT RESIGN.
Seth Wells Prediction-Burton Trial
Was Fair.

State Auditor Seth Wells attended
the Burton trial in St. Louis, but did
not stay until the verdict was rem
dered. He says of the case:
Everybody was impressed with
the fact that Judge Van Devanter is
a very fair and able judge. He has
a pleasant way Of smoothing things
over. and he keeps down hard feel
ings. There has been no intlmation
that he did not give Burton fair
trial There seemed to be only a mod
crate amount of interest in the case
at st. Louis. The court room was usu-
ally comfortably filed, but only on the
day that Burton himself testified was
there any crush. The arguments of
the attorneys seemed to draw bigger
crowd than most of the testimony.
''I don't think Burton viii resign ;
he has nothing to gain by doing that.
and it would simply give his political
enemies chance to name his sue
cessor."

GODS SIDE OF IT.
Mark Twain Discusses the Deity's View
of Thanksgiving.

Chicago, Nov. 28.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
Mark Twain, who took luncheon with
President Roosevelt yesterday, gave
the following Thanksgiving senti-
ment:
Every year every person in Amer
lea concentrates all his thoughts upon
one thing-cataloging his reasons for
being thankful to the Deity for the
blessings conferred upon him and
upon the human race during the ex-
piring twelve months.
This is we'll and as it should be;
but it is too one-sided. No one ever
seems to think of the Deity's side Of
it; apparently no one concerns him
self to inquire how much or how lit
tie he has had to be thankful for dur
ing the same period.
1--WE may be unstintedly thankful,
but can that really be the case with
Him? If He had a voice how would
He regard the years results IN Rus
sia? Doubtless the most that He can
be thankful for is that the carnage
and suffering are not as bad as they

berries have not been absolutely com
plete.

STORM FLAG APPEARS.
Rumble of Coming Storm Is Heard
Today.

The threatening clouds which have
obseured the sun for the past two
days have disappeared and today the
dome above is as clear and blue as
ever with not even a sign of the un-
pleasant weather of yesterday. The
only thing visible which would indi-
cate that tomorrow may not be a
bright, warm spring day is the
weather flag which is floating in the
breeze from the top of the weather
bureau building. 1t has the little
black square in the center of a square
field of pure white, and indicates to
weather observers that a cold wave is
approaching. There is nothing in the
temperature of today that indicates
the approach of this promised cold
wave, for the temperatures are sew
eraI degrees higher today than they
were yesterday.
The storm flag which is floating
from the hagstaff today is making its
initial appearance. and from its i'm
maculate looks it suggests that it is
a new arrival from department head
quarters.

Baked Fish.

An old-fashioned way of baking fish su gratin has never been improve ed upon. Skin the fish. starting at the head and drawing towards the tail, cut off the head and take out the back bone. This leaves two large pieces of fish. Prepare a sauce by lightly brown ing a minced slice of onion in two tablespoonfuls of butter. When the butter bubbles, stir in two tablespoon fuls of four and add stock or water to. make creamy compound. Season, and add the juice of half lemon and half tablespoonful of minced parsley. Lay the fish on buttered baking tin and pour the sauce over 1t. sprinkle thickly with breadcrumbs, put bits of butter over. and bake in a quick oven for about twenty-five minutes. Toma- to sauce Is recommended with this.
