UNCLE SAM SOLVES ELEPHANT PROBLEM.

A novel plan has been found by treasury Off.
cials to save the government the cost of feeding
four healthy elephants several times daily during
the next four months. When the officials, in en-
forcing the law against differentiation were COM
pelled to confiscate the four elephants owned by
a Snowman named Thompson, the problem of feed
ing the animals until the next auction sale of the
confscated goods presented itself. 1t was solved
by permitting Thompson to give bond for the safe
return of the animals. He was permitted to take
the animals on the road and the officials are hop
ing he will make enough money exhibiting them
to pay the penalty for his offense and recover the
elephants.
The four elephants in question are of the real
circus variety that can stand on their heads, fire
off cannon, waltz, and sit around a table and eat

RUSSIAN CIVIL
WAR IN BALANCE

BY Our own Wire. Publishers Press
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.-During
the early morning hours the streets were
quiet Notwithstanding the fears which
had been expressed that disorders would
begin almost as saan as the people gen.
orally had become acquainted with the
fact that the Douma had been dissolved.
The city presented its normal appearance
except for the numerous military patrols
in the streets. There are now $1,000 troops
in the city beside strong artillery forces
and these are counted on TO prevent dis
orders.
The members of the Douma, who are
at Viborg, Finland for the purpose OF
continuing their sessions. following the
dissolution Of Parliament by the Cars
ukase. held a sitting which lasted all
night at which the situation was cam
vtssed thoroughly. Several speakers
favoerd the plan Of having the Douma
follow the precedent Of the French
revolution "tenni court Parliament"
declaring that they did not consider
the dissolution legal Other speakers
said that the Douma should take up
the Cars challenge by proclaiming
that the country must have a con-
sistent assembly and drawing up an
election program. While the Douma
wa in session the Government Of Fin
land sent a message declaring the
meeting would have to adjourn. This
may mean war.
