KILL THEIR BABIES.
Horrible Story Of Human Saorifio to
Imaginary God.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg,
Russia says the most atrociOus crime
that has occurred In Siberia since the
famous case Of the brothers Kalaschin-
kutf is about to be investigated In TG-
boisk. Seven peasants Of the neigh.
boring village OF X ,bulika and three
women are about to be put on trial on
charge OF sacrificing q number OF
children In order to appease the wrath
Of an imaginary god OF pestilence~
The Siberian plague had destroyed the
villagers cattle year after year. The
village was reduced to poverty, and
many Of its Inhabitants were obliga-
ted to migrate to the towns.
A local quack, who earned d living
by making children 'invulnerable to
the evil eye," advised the muzhiks that
until blood has been shed and a
church raised upon IT, tho village
would continue to be visited by pes
tilence and-ho limited even worse
terrors. The panic stricken peasants
understood this to mean that church
Should be built upon "a foundation OF
human beings, as was done by their
anc estors In heathen times.
A man named G!az lnCff ffered tC
sacrifice one Of his seven children,
and his example was followed by the
local blacksmith. The two children
were killed at night and rude wood
en- chapel hurrledly built over theil
remains. When the story became
known the muzhiks from a neighbor
ing village raided the culprits homes
burned the M down and nearly killed
the murderers.

Nearing tho End.

Terrible predictions concerning
what will happen to this poor old
earth during the next twenty five
years were made at o prophetic and
S cond Advent conference last week
IN London and while they differed
somewhat In details, they all agreed
that the end Of the world ia at
hand, they were not quite sure
whether the final catastrophe will
come on May Q. or April 8, 1881, but
they are quite sure that one of these
dates viii prove to be the right one.
There can be no doubt that the world
has nearly outllved It's usefulness, the
prophets declared. The wars and
earth q lakes which have atDl lcted ii
recently are p.oof positive and al
THAI Is required to fulfill the prophe.
cles Is the coming OF anti Christ, who
somewhat unkindly identified with
Napoleon.
