President Roosevelt is a partisan
first, last and all the time, and
there are good many Republican
Representatives and Senators who
are trying to make the voters be-

defeated. if enough others we're
elected to make Republican quo

Rosedale is a picturesque little town.
situated in Bolivar county, Mississippi,
four miles north of Beulah and three
miles of Wrights Station. 1t is noted

GOVERNMENT HAS FIRM GRIP.
General Uprising 10 No Longer Feared
In Russia.

1eneral uprising 10 No Longer Feared
in Russia.
St.. Petersburg, March 26.-The AS.
ISOLATED Press is able to give the re-
suits Of an important conversation
with high parsonage regarding the
situation in Russia. The converse.
ton, which covered a vide range,
left the distinct impression that tho
assembling of the national parliament
would bring crisis, but not the one
anticipated abroad. The government
evidently, is absolutely convinced that
an armed revolution or a general up
rising which would menace its life is
no longer possible, and that the dan.
ger now is not that the government
will be overthrown, but that it will be
driven to abandon its path of reform.
"The guerrilla warfare which the
revolutionists at present are conduct
Ing" said the parsonage referred to-,
cannot succeed. Acts of terrorism
doubtless will continue-vengean
may be wreaked on governors general
and police masters; Count White, the
premier, and Minister Durnovo may be
assassinated; banks and buildings
may be blown up, and there may even
be riots here and there. but attempts
to produce widespread risings in the
cities or repetition of the strike are
doomed to failure. The government
Las a firm grip and every measure to
prevent excuses will be taken"

Some Men May Go to Jail.
New York, March 27.-Charges that
fraudulent and corrupt conspiracy
exists between Richard A. McCurdy,
former president Of the Mutual Life
Insurance company; his son-in-law,
Louis A. Thebaud, and the latter's
partner, Charles H. Raymond, are
made in the formal complaints in two
suits instituted by the company
against the men named for the recov-
cry of $1,750,000. These suits are in
addition to the one brought last week
by the company against Richard A.
McCurdy alone for the recovery of
$3,37O,O0O. The total now sued for
amounts to s5,120,0OO. The suits, in
the opinion of lawyers, form the basis
for criminal prosecutions.
One Of the suits is directed against
the elder McCurdy, Thebaud and
Raymond and the other against The
baud and Raymond alone. The charge
is made that sums aggregating the i'm.
mense total of 100000 were paid
Raymond & Co. for no reason what
ever, except to enrich McCurdys SON
in-law and his partner, and no SER
vices were rendered for this money. it
is alleged, the payments being purely
gratuitous. Those gratuities and the
enormous sums paid Raymond & Co.
as general agents for the metropolitan
district form the basis of the two
suits.

Republic Oil company, on the ground
that they constitute combination in

ment the New York proceedings were
ended. He instructed Commissioner
Sanborn, before whom the witnesses
testified. to send certified copy Of
the testimony to the supreme court
of Missouri, where it will become q
part of the record in the states case.
Practically the last move Mr.. Had.
ley made in the case was to introduce
testimony showing the difficulties I'M
der which most of the witnesses who
are in any way connected with the
Standard Oil company were served.
He put in the record the fact that
every effort had been made to secure
the testimony Of John D. Rockefeller,
but none had succeeded. He intro.
duced copies of letters written to at.
torneys Of the Standard OIL request
ing that officers OF the company &C.
cept service. The request applied to
John D. Rockefeller along with sew
eral others.
During the examination OF the sub.
poena server, counsel for the defend.
ant companies brought out that the
man had received money from news
papers for stories of his experiences
in trying to serve some OF the Stand

facts were brought out Ito show there
has been lot OF grand-standing and
advertising about this, and lot. Of

less Probable Crime Is Shown.
New York, March 2S-District At
torney jerome applied to Magistrate
Moss for warrants against several
persons in connection with the recent
life insurance investigation. The war
rants were not issued, the magistrate
taking the ground that it would be
necessary first for the district attor-
ney to present evidence that crime
had been committed. Mr.. Jerome
thereupon agreed to present demo
sitions upon the question to the magis.
trate. later.
When news that the warrants had
been asked for became public it re.
called that the names of Postmaster
General Cortelyou, CHIEF OF the Repub.
lican national committee; Cornelius
N. Bliss, treasurer of that organiza-
ton. and George w. Perkins, formerly
vice president of the New York Life
insurance company, had been men
toned by Mr.. Jerome before Judge
O'Sullivan in connection with the war
rants. Magistrate Moss, however,
said that no names whatever were
mentioned during his conversation
with the district attorney. AS re-
suit of Mr.. Jerome's conversation
with the magistrate, suDpoenas in
blank were issued and 1t was az
nounced that John Doe proceedings
would be begun at once in an effort
to procure evidence upon which the
warrants might be issued.

Independence, Kan, March 2S.-A
sixth attempt made to hood the big
gas well at Caney, Kan, was par
TALLY successful. A six-inch pipe waa
lowered into the blaze, and the fame
now bursts from the upper end Of
the pipe and rises to a height of $50
feet. In an attempt to swing the
heavy hood over the well, it tipped
again, and the attempt was given up
until tomorrow. Success is probable
then. The fire that started Jan. %
