ROAD TO PEACE.
Lies Through Recognition ,of People
OF the Empire.

OF the Empire.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 10, 1:2O a. M
The Russ and the Nevosti, comment
ing on the assassination of Grand
Duke Sergins, point out how ilMpossi-
bic is a continuation 1f the present
conditions. The Russ says:
~Frum the day of the death of the
Minister of the Interior Won Plehve,
the fighting organization of the social
rev0lutiunists held it's peace, and the
four months of Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky's regime was period of az
tive but peacefay propa ganda. Nov
blood again has been shed, and al
though foreigners predict all will END
in revolution, the case is not hope
less. Only let representatives of the
people be allowed to participate in the
government. and the nation directed
to the road Of peace. and our suffer
ings must end. We do not want blood
and terror. but peace and peaceful
conditions. In this hope We SEE our
only safety from the tragic incidents
that are happening about u.s."
The Novosti says:
1.-The victims of the war number
tens of thousands. A hundred high
officials are among these victims.
People are losing their lives in the
streets of Russian cities. We cannot
live longer under such conditions. The
happiness of the people should not
be bought with their blood. Compro-
misses of the bureaucracy cannot save
the situation. Enough of this blood
and terror. The emperor must hon
estly and sincerely meet the hopes
of the people against the bureaucracy.
This is the only salvation from the
horrors that threaten to darken the
near future"

DEATH IN THE AIR.
Mo One knows Where the Next Blow
viii Fall.

viii Fall.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 18.-The trag
tedy at Moscow has struck deep i'm the
heart of the .pefpfexed and tried em-
.peror, and many who were unsparing
in their criticism yesterday, to-day
have only expressions of sympathy for
his unhappy lot. The bitter cup, which
.during the last year has been pressed
again and again to his lips, is once
more filled ITO the hrim, and in almost
pathetic words this morning he i'm
plores his subjects to pray for the
,repOse of the soul uOf mis- murdered
uncle.
Death is in the air and no one
knows where the next blow may fall,
although precautions have been DOM
hled in every direction for the pre-
sservation Of the lives Df the members
of the imperial family and the min
listers, and the secret police are seek
ing out and arresting those known
to be associated with the fighting or
:ganization. The authorities realize
their impotency to ward Dff the swift
acts of terrorism, murder in the
streets being possible at any instant.
The only safety seems to lie in seek
ing refuge behind palace walls and all
the imperial family have been warn
ed mot to venture Out.

istown is conferred under subsection
4.500 of the political code. enabling
cities and towns to license. tax and
regulate saloons. The court is of the
opinion that this power is so included
UnquestiOnably the state might enact
a statute of exactly the same effect
as ordinance No. II Of the city of
Lewistown. If the state might do
this, and has not done it. is it possible
to say that such an ordinance is re-
pugnant to or inconsistent with the
laws of the state? The court holds
that it is not. 1t is true that such
ordinance, if attempted to be applied
to the ordinary avocations of the COM
munity. could not be upheld, for the
reason that such avocation would not
be subject to the police power of the
city or municipality: but the decis-
ions of great many years uniformly
hold that the regulation of the liquor
traffic is within the police power of
the state. on account of its known in
furious tendencies.
There has been some discussion of
counsel relative to the details of the
ordinance and of the bond required
hereunder The form and conditions
VI tile Douu, however. are not before
the court for decision. nor is the en-
tent TO which the authorities on such
bond may be held liable before the
court at the present time. The sole
question is whether the city has acted
ultra wires in requiring the said bond
of persons progressing to engage in
the retail liquor business. The court
believes that the city has not exceeded
its powers.
Therefore, the petition to make
this writ peremptory is overruled.
CORNELL Gives up Fight.
After the decision had been an
nounced. George Cornell, who insti-
tuted the proceeding, reached the con
clusion that he might as we'll comply
with the ordinance, and his first plan
OF taking the case to the supreme court
was abandoned. II Seems that the
other saloon keepers, having all given
the bond. did not care to join with
him in making test case. and if the
decision is ever tested in the higher
court, 1t is not likely to be on a case
arising in Lewistown.

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
GIadstone's Physician Gives warning Against q Growing Amer
 fcan Custom.

Against q Growing Amer ican Custom.
 The growing habit amongst Ameri- cans of taking a mint tablet or some
 other so called digestive after eating
 a hearty meal, Is something that Sir Andrew Clarke, Mir. Gladstone's phy-
 sician, advises strongly against, say ing, Tt is absolutely dangerous to take into the stomach remedies which
 are popularly supposed to aid in the
 digestion of food"
 There Is nothing known to the sci- ence of medicine that can perform the
 work of the human stomach. Drugs do not and cannot digest the food. They simply decompose 1t. What can be more revolting or disgusting than the
 thought of taking something into the stomach that is going to turn the good food you have eaten into a mass of cor ruption.
 The only way to overcome indigestion and its evil effects Is to remove all ir- ritation, congestion and inflammation from the stomach. liver and intestines. and Mi-o-na Is the only agent known that will do this.
 When a Mi-o-na tablet Is taken be- fore each meal every trace of irritation and inflammation is removed from the stomach and digestive system, and those organs will extract from the food all that goes to make good, rich blood, a firm muscle, steady nerves and a sound. healthy body. If you suffer
 with headaches. indigestion. fiatulency.

 shown by his offer to return the money if Mi-o-na does not give complete sat-
 isfaction. Mch20-sogu10.

International Agricultural Chamber
 Seems . Probability.
 Vienna, March 19.--A further decided step toward the establishment of an International Chamber of Agriculture, proposed by David Luvin of California, and initiated among the powers of the world by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, was taken In Vienna today.
 At the invitation of Reichscitter Ho- henblum. the head of the Austrian De- partment for the Representation of Az riculture and Forests. there assembled here today representative agricultural interests from Germany, Austria-H Hun gary. Spain and Italy. for the purpose of informing themselves concerning the proposed chamber. The conference was opened by Mir. Luvin, who read an interesting address, fully explaining the plan and scope of the enterprise. Several members, including Prince Bor- ghesi of the Italian committee, to which was entrusted the carrying out of the preliminary arrangements of the con- ference of the nations held in Rome, were present and reported on progress.
 Members O fthe congress will reoprt to their respective organizations the information acquired at today's meet ing through the "commendable fore sighted initiative of the King of Italy, which was declared to be of the great est importance and value to national and international agriculture. King Victor EmmanuePs efforts were fully endorsed and the conference expressed the opinion that the cooperation of existing agricultural institutions would be secured in furthering international communication in the solution of agri- cultural problems. The conference especially recommended the holding of international agricultural congresses at propitious demands and the establish ment of an international agricultural association to fix and control the price of grain.

 Salt Lake City. Utah. March 19.-Jo- seph F. Smith, President of the Mormon Church, today in a public address in the Tabernacle, modified and explained his statement made before the Senate Investigating committee at Washing ton, to the effect that he had received no revelation from God. In his address today President Smith is quoted as say ing with reference to revelations:
 Tn Washington I refused to say what my inquisitors wanted me to say in or- der to ret me into trap. I did not say that God had given me a revelation on some new law or presoript, which was to be Included and writteh in the laws of the church. Did you ever hear me deny that had been guided by Godf No, no man ever heard me say this.
 .'when I was first baptised. as a child. God revealed to me that I had done an act which he approved. God also revealed to me that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, raised up by the powerful Almighty. He revealed to me in terms incontrovertible that Brigham Young succeeded lawfully to the presi- dency of the church by the will of the Almighty. He revealed to me that John Taylor was the divine successor of Brigham Young. that Wilford Wood. ruff was the divine successer of John Taylor, that Lorenzo Snow was the di- vine successor of Wilford Woodruff. I leave 1t to you to say whether 1t is right and lawful for me to be in this position.

NEW HORSES HERE.
Jack Cook Back From Missouri With
 Animals.

Jack Cook. City Superintendent of Live Stock, has returned from a trip to Missouri. where he purchased at a cost of $1.200, six big fire horses for the Montgomery Fire Department.
 The horses are believed to be the best that can be had for the money and 1t is most probable that they are, for Jack Cooks discretion and judg- ment in horse-fesh is undoubted in Montgomery.
 MT. Cook was on the trip about two weeks and returned well pleased with his visit to Missouri. The animals he bought please him and when they Are arranged for inspection and acceptance by the authorities, it is certain that they will please the Fire Committee.
 Two of the horses will be run in har- ness to the big new engine recently purchased.
