yielding to the popular demands, have
established representative forms of
government which preserve only the
semblance of the despotism of the mid

Russia alone has been able to preserve
intact the cruel despotism. the conn

that are gone. She today stands alone,
the only nation that has apparently
been able to stand out against the on

There are contained within her
100, 500, 900 population many conflict

peril it has been the policy of the gov

and incite whole sections of the popu-

diverting attention from the central
government, and so in the opening
years of this, the greatest of AN CEN

to the old methods. and this time they
are inflaming the populace against the

Warm Wave in New Enaland.

Boston, Jam 22-Boston and the rest
of New England are enjoying the most
remarkable January weather on record,
yesterday having brought the climax
in the shape of a temperature which

to play baseball. The highest official
tempera ture in Boston was 10, but on
the streets and in the suburbs it wa,s
several degrees warmer and there be-
ing an absence of wind the day seemed
warmer than 1T really was. In the

which can usually show snow in July,
the temperature yesterday was 10.
Yesterday afternoon tramps were
seen asleep in the January sun on the
park benches in Boston.

SPOOK AT Fl. MADISON
People. Of That City Much Exercised
Over the Appearance Of Spectre
The Ghost Always Appears in the
Same Place and Many People Have
Ca. IL

Seen It.
Fort Madison, Jan. 22.-At last Fort
Madison has a real spook, according to
the story of reliable and we'll known
people who live in the vicinity where
the spectre mas been seen the last few
days on different occasions.
Those who have been lucky or un-
fortunate enough to see the grim Wis
itor are people of veracity and really
do not desire to be quoted in the story;
in fact, they have kept the strange
visitation to themselves and out of the
local newspapers. But the story has
been told thru other channels, yet it
can be relied upon as their version
as well as their experience.
The locality in which the apparition
appears is the 1900 block on Fourth
street; the exact spot being midway Of
the block on the north side Of the street,
and always appears in the same place.
His spookship comes in the nature of
q man clad in black robe and wearing
a black hood. The witnesses say that
it is man, because the outlines of the
face are distinct. The face, however,
possesses that mist-like pallor that is
Characteristic Of all spooks. The spec
tire appears generally in the early even
ing hours, more often about 8 o'clock,
and disappears as suddenly as it comes.
1t appears always about eight feet
above the sidewalk, having never, as
far as seen, touched the earth.
Some of those who have seen the
wierd messenger of good or evil tainted,
and others have been scared almost out
of their wits. Others of the vicinity
have gone hunting for his spookship
with lanterns for fear they would see
something Whatever the apparition
may be it has surely caused a great
deal of excitement, and nothing will
change the minds Of those who claim
to have seen the spooky visitor.

Bluffs Jewish Merchant Violated
Policy.
Special to Times s-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Jan. 22.--One more
deposition is to be taken at Sioux City,
in the case of M. Saltzman, Jewish
merchant of this place, who in 1904,
had store at Sioux City. After be-
ing burned out there, ale commenced
actions against the Western Mutual
Insurance Company, of Waterloo, but
witnesses on one side of his suit for
$500 thinks that his merchandise
stock at Sioux City was worth be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000, while another
set of witnesses do not believe the
value of the goods could not have
been much more than $1,500 or $4,000.
The insurance company has two lines
of defense. 1t claims. first, that Saltz-
man violated the policy by putting
other insurance on the stock of goods.
The other contention is that he rep
resented the merchandise to be worth
$500. when it would hardly have
brought one-fifth that sum.
