WORK OF THE TERRoRISTS.
Riot and Assassination Continue
in Unhappy Russia.

General Vouliarski, acting military
encouragement Of Warsaw, was shot
and killed at = o'clock Monday after
noon while driving in a cab. The assas-
sin escaped. General Nonliarski was
the commander of the Flfth Army
Corps, stationed at Warsaw.
General Min, commander of the Sem
inOvsky Guard Regiment and a per-
sonal adjutant in the suite of the Car,
was assassinated Sunday night at Pc
terhOf by a young woman, who fired
five shots into his body and then sub
mitted to arrest. The capture of the
girl was effected by General Minis
wife, who held her until the arrival of
an officer. Any of the five wounds In
flicted by the girls bullets would have
resulted fatally.
This act of terrorism, following
closely Saturdays unsuccessful attempt
on the life of Premier Stolypin, with
it's sickeniGS slaughter of thirty-twO
persons, together with other develop
ments of the day in the reign of vio-
lence, has caused the utmost alarm in
official circles.
One of these developments was an at
tempt on the life of General Kaulbars,
governor of Odessa. A girl dropped a
bomb in the Nicholas boulevard fifty
PAGES from the palace of the governor.
There was a deafening defamation and
a wild stampede of the ~promenaders.
No n was injured except the girl,
whose hand was shattered. 1t is sup
posed that the bomb accidentally fell
from her hand as she was making her
way to the door of the palace. She and
another girl and a university student
who was accompanying them were ar
rested.
The increased activity Of the reds"
has caused renewed talk of a military
dictatorship. According to a report cur
rent a meeting of the camarilla dis
cussed the question at PeterhOf and a
majority was in favor of such a step.
Two other attempts had been made
recently on the life Of General Min,
who was condemned to death by the
terrorists Immediately after the Mos
COW revolt last December on account
of the stern repression practiced by a
battalion under his cOm.land and espe-
cially for the wholesale execution of
persons condemned by drumhead court
martial for being caught with arms in
their hands.

NEED TWENTY THOUSAND MEN
anadia Northwest Cannot Har-
vest Wheat without Them.

The wheat growers of Manitoba aud
Saskatchewan have sent forth a cry to
the older provinces in the Dominion for
men to assist them in harvesting this
years crop of wheat. The yield will be
greater than in any previous season. Cou-
pied with the yield is the increase in acre
age and the farmers do not know where
they will secure sufficient help to harvest
the crop.
The Manitoba government estimates
already in the province will be required
that fully 10000 men in addition to those
already in the province will be required
to care for the crop of wheat. The gov
rnmen has undertaken to secure men
from the older provinces, and agents have
been placed in the larger cities with in
structions to secure men and forward
them to Winnipeg, from which point they
will be distributed to the grain centers.
The general prosperity Of the country,
which insures work for everyone; the
heavy demand for laborers in western
Canada and in our w Western States,
and the usual demand for extra men at
this season of the year for the gathering
of the crops, have resulted in an unusual
shortage of farm help.

Now Walking on the Water.

Two inventors are claiming attention of
the scientific world just now in connec-
ton with a kind of aquatic shoes. Jose
Antonio, a Mexican student in the depart
ment of mechanical engineering at Cor
nell, gave a successful test of his device
by walking a mile and a half on the sur
face of Cayuga lake. The shoes, which
closely resemble small boats, are con-
stracted cof tin, 5 feet 3 inches long, ii
inches wide and 9M inches deep. Each
contains four separate air chambers, be-
sides the compartment for the foot. The
shoes are equipped with collapsible fans,
which close as the wearer steps forward
and then open to prevent the shoes from
slipping backward.
A somewhat similar footgear for water
walking is described in the Technical
World Magazine for August, and credited
to Lieut.. Arthur L. Sadler of the United
States volunteer life-saving crew at
Charlesbark, Mass. Sadler claims TO have
made a two-mile trip on his shoes. He
says he got his idea from watching the
way a duck uses its feet. His shoes are
4 feet 3 inches long, 0 inches wide and
81 inches deep, being the smallest that
-nnld carry his weight, 135 pounds.

PHTICS%ak


President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor has begun
his stumping tour in Maine against the
reelection Of Littlefield. Mr.. Gompers
charges Littleield with being an enemy
of organized labor.
The resolution indorsing w. r. Hearst
was rejected by the convention of union
printers at Colorado Springs, but in it's
place a resolution was adopted commend
ing all legislators and editors who have
cxerted themselves in behalf of union la
bot.
The attitude of President Roosevelt to-
ward State fractional fights in the Repub-
lican party was made plain again during
the week by his approval of the course of
federal officers at New York in not taking
sides in the contest for the Craftsmanship
CT the New York Republican committee.
Justice Brewer of the United States
Supreme Court, in a st. Louis interview,
said that the next presidential election
would be fought with Taft representing
the Republicans and Bryan the Demo
Gratis. He paid high compliments 90 the
virtues of both men. He thought that
Bryan and Roosevelt had many qualities
in common, both being earnest and fear
less, and having the interests of the coun-
try at heart. Taft. ne said, was not so
impulsive or decisive as the President,
and would have less friction.

When the Stars Fall.

Old Judy was a character we'll known
In Lower Henley, where persons OF
aer race and complexion were rare. She
was the last descendant of an old slave
family owned, in the days when New
England tolerated slavery, by one Of
the chief magnates Of the place. She
lived to be a very old woman-over a
hundred, according to local belief, al
though her exact age was not known.
1t was during the last year of her life
that there occurred in August a famous
display Of shooting stars. The specta-
Gle was a magnificent one, but Judy
had no eye for it's beauty.
Massey sakes! Massey sakes!" she
muttered, trembling, gazing up with
starting eyeballs at the streaked and
shining heavens. "'TwOn't be long
dey'lI miss a-hittin' round here, sho' it
won't. An s'posin' dey drap or us cold,
dey'll hit harder'n hailstuns; an
s'posi'n' dey drap on us hot, dey1l

ZEN rollin' roun' underfoot, wild de light
knocked out OBJ 'em, lax pebbles, mindin'

Explanations and consolation were OF
no avail Judy would only shake her
head and murmur in tones Of awe, "Ah

A PLAGUE OF LoCuSTs.
Myriad< OF Them Laying Waste the
HaryeNt Yields of hungary.

Myriads Of locusts are devastating the
country in the neishborhood of Dtbrec-
zin, Hungary.
They are sweeping through the land,
eating every green thing they find in their
path. The crops on 10000 acres have al
ready been consumed, so thar the ground
is quite bare, and the authorities are help
less to stay the advance 81 the insects.
All sorts of desperate means are being
tried without avail to keep back the in
vadi?g host. Fires have been lighted, but
the locusts swarm into the flames until
they are ~extinguished, and the survivors
continue their march unimpeded.
Twelve steam rollers are being used at
one place. and roller brooms are sweeping
up the dead bodies of the crushed insects.
But no apparent progress is made. The
locusts cover the earth in many places
to the depth of several inches, and defy
humiliation.
To make matters worse, a storm has
carried clouds of them over the River
Thesis, and they have devOured practi-
cally all the corn, which was standing in
sheaves. What is left is worthle S, as ami
mails refuse to touch it owing to its Pc
culiar smell.
The plague first appeared last year,
when a force of 600 men was organized
to destroy the locusts. This year the po-
sitiOn of affairs is much worse. and many
farmers are threatened with ruin.

1853 DEAD; CELEBRATED JULY 4
Medical journal Asserts 70 of These
Died from Tetanus.

One hundred and ffty-eight persons are
dead as a result of accidents in the Unit
ed States during the last celebration of
the Fourth of July. Tetanus is given as
the cause in seventy-fve cases. The total
number of injuries reported is 5,30S, the
largest in four years that statistics have
been compiled. These figures are given in
the current issue Of the Journal of the
American Medical Association. A COM
parison Of the total of accidents directly
due to the toy pistol in the last four years
shows a decrease until this year, when
979 persons were injured by blank cart
ridges.
The report declares that the greater
number of minor accidents were due to
giant irecrackers. Of the injured twenty
two suffered complete loss of sight, seven
ty-two one eye. f~ifty-six legs, arms or
hands and 227 fingers.

break all records. This is Indicated oy
figures of condition and acreage just made
public by the Department OF Agriculture.
The corn crop will amount to 2,693,o0o,-
600 bushels. if present prospects hold out
q few weeks longer. This will lack only
100000 bushels of reaching the biggest
fignres of the past, the yield for D
But there is hope that even the 1909
crop will be left behind. In no year ex-
cept 1905 were the corn prospects SO
bright as they are at this moment.
The wheat crop has passed all former
records. 1t amounts to I59,OOO,OOO bush
els. The winter wheat crop is 492,00O.-
600 bushels and the spring variety is
267 10000. The largest previous aggre-
gate wheat yield was in 1901, when it
was 74S,000.O00 bushels, or 100000
below the 1906 total. AS the preliminary
figures of the Department of Agriculture,
like those just given out, are usually be-
low the aggregate which is found in the
final roundup, there is an excellent
chance that the indicated 750,000,0OO
bushels for 1906 will turn out to be
greater than this when the returns are
all in.
Oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and po,a-
toes are also up TO high figures in the es-
innate made by the Department of Agri-
culture. Hay shows a slight falling off
in acreage, and probably in yield. But
the grand aggregate of the country's great
crops will be larger than in any former
year. This will be needed because the
country is growing with great rapidity.
Not far from 100000 are being added
to our population each year nowadays,
with the immigration considerably above
the 100000 mark. Prices remain high,
which means that the producers will get
big returns for their crops. The farmer
is the favored man these days. The coun-
try is accommodating wealth at a rate be-
yond anything ever seen in the past

Trade of the United States with it's
~non-contiguous territories amounted in the
fiscal year just ended to $119,304,511. A
bulletin issued by the Department of Com
merce and Labor says:
THE shipments to the non-contiguous
territories amounted to $51,666, 666.67,
against $43,50O,OOO in the fiscal year
1905, this growth of about 20 per cent
occurring in the shipments to Alaska, Ha-
wall and Porto Rico, but especially Porto
Rico, while to the Philippine Islands
there was a reduction of about $4,000.
Merchandise shipped from the nom
contiguous territories to the United States
amounted to SCI, 666, 666.67, against $751;
100000 in the preceding year, this fall oc-
curing almost exclusively in the ship
ments from Hawaii and being due chiefly
to the decrease in the value of sugar."
The value of gold of domestic produc-
ton shipped from Alaska to the United
States in 1906 was $4,000, 900, against
100000 the preceding year, and of for

| Water Kite for Sounding.

\ Berlin scientific paper tells of a new
device arranged by a Swedish scientist
to reduce the danger of shallow water in
navigation. 1t consists of a simple water
kite, which is fastened to a wire cable
and cast over the side of the ship. By
reason of the oblique pressure, the kite
sinks rapidly as far as its cable permits.
On the side of the winch a scale and reg
lister tells the depths 10 which the kite
has descended. As soon as the kite comes
in contact with any solid obstruction or
shallow bottom, a coupling Is released,
which instantly slackens the tension of
the cable by changing the position Of the
kite this sets in motion an alarm bell on
deck. which attracts the attention os the
watch.

period is much less than that Of any other
city coming within the first class, while
among cities of the second class only st.

a lower average. Following are the av-

and no sovereignty except sovereignty over
ourselves. No rights were claimed which
we would not freely concede to every 9th

ALMOST CREMATED.

George Hardin, m employo of inc Saginaw and Manis,cc Lumber com. pany. had very narrow escape from m awful death while in the discharge of his duties at the Williams saw mill.
 George, who sorts inc boards for barrel heads, was working in pile of refuse ,ncar the convcyor. which is q heavy chain. and which carries strips and pieces of lumber that are worth. Tess into the furnace. and in some manner his leg was caught in the chain. which began to draw his body toward the big crcmatory.
 His outcrics immediately attracted the attention of some nearby fellow workmcn. who, upon realizing his per. ilous position. instantly rushed to his assistance. and endcavorcd in n heroic manner to cxtricate him. but every attempt resulted in failure. and it seemed as though grim death wns go. ing to bc the victor.
 His rcscuers knew it would he i'm. possible for the engineer 10 stop the engine in time to save him, but failure in the first trial to free him did not deter them in making another effort, and one of the men, native, with rare presence of mind, seized n crow. bar, and raising the monstrous chain with it, freed the unfortunate young mans body, and the rest or the men who by this time were in an excited condition, pulled the lad out of danger. Almost overcome by emotion, they of. fcrcd fcrvant thanks to n kind Provi. dcncc for this timely delivery from n horrible fate.
 Dr. Mclick was summoned. and after examining IIardin's leg, found that it had been badly bruised, but concluded that he would recover in n short time
