ST. PETERSBURG, June 1S.-The
long debate on the agrarian question
was ended at this mornings session of
the lower house of Parliament with a
strong speech by Michael Stackovitch,
of Orel, in which he virtually declared
that the Government must recognize
the principle of the partial expropria-
tion of private land holdings in order
to satisfy the peasants, but he APP
pealed for peaceful cooperation be-
tween the House and the Government
in arranging settlement of this great
question. 1t was then decided to send
the agrarian question to commission
and after recess the question of the
composition of the commission was
considered. The size of the commits
sion, which will be elected tomorrow,
was fixed after the debate at ninety

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE

How frequently does a head line SINH

papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness Of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smOthered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three Of the prominent ingredients Of
which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
OF the leading writers on Mdtertd Medtcd
for the cure Of just such cases. Golden

Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com

follows that it must be greatly strength

No insurance company has been for
mally warned to stop doing business in
and TO remove from the State of Cali
forno. None wishes to be warned away,
for official action of that sort would be
very bad advertisement abroad. A
company might elect to go out of busi-
ness, but no one that wishes to con-
tinue, realizing the cost OF getting new
business, would care to be posted as
having been ousted.
There now remain in class by them
selves twenty-five insurance companies
which by their refusal to either sign
the stipulation granting sixty days
more time for the filing of proofs of loss
or to send in to Insurance Commits
sioner Wolf complete list and descrfp-
ton of their policies have laid them
selves open to action in the Federal
courts for disobedience of the laws of
California. On Saturday the list of
stubborn companies was thirty-fiye. but
with the passing of the last hours of
grace allowed them by Commissioner
Wolf thirteen of these corporation
agents came 10 the belief that it would
be better to risk losing their reinsur-
I ance than to give up forever the rich
and promising California insurance
field. They sent in their names signed
TO stipulations yesterday, and Commits
sioner Wolf accepted them.
The following is the list of the
twenty-five companies that are open to
prosecution for violation of the laws of

The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced Into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced, but apart from
Constantinople the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1915
In Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1852 in Lon
don and 1894 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle,
was little used, and in Germany not
at all. The Chinese teacup was used
for tea, coffee and chocolate as we'll.
Specimens Of porcelain were undoubt-
eddy introduced into Europe in the mid
die ages, vet not till the sixteenth CEN
tury were cups imported from China
In any great quantities, and even then
1t was as articles of vertu. Most of
these found their way back to China
again, as collecting porcelain lis a last

the incident, omits to add whether the
maukin duly reached Scott, but no
doubt it did. On another occasion Scott
was less successful in his defense Of a
housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful
for his counsei's exertions, gave him, in
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece Of advice, to
the value of which he (the housebreak-

never to have a large watchdog out of

trust in nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to pin his faith to huge old heavy

as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They travelled
about the state on joint debating trip

night Mr.. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised his bulky form and said
in his stentorian voice, "McCreary,
there is one thing certain-the next
governor Of Kentucky Is in this bed. .
AS he spoke the bed Stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena-
tor McCreary caught and held himself

VOTING IN THE DARK.

How about the proposed
amendments to the state consti-
tuition which the people of Mime
sofa will be asked to vote upon
at the November election?
There are three Of the amend
ments. The second and third
are uudoub tedly meritorious and
should be passed, but the first,
which provides for changing Of
the system of levying taxes, is
doubtful.
1t may be alright and it may
not be-; but whether it is or not
is a question which the voters of
Beltra mi county are not in a
position to decide. To know
whether the proposed change is
one of; merit or demerit, the
voter must read and study the
amendment carefully.
In Beltrami county the chance
to do this has not been given the
voters. The amendments have
not been spread broadcast and
placed in the hands of the read.
ing public as they should have
been and as they have been done
in other counties.
The reason for this is hidden
in the bosom of Secretary of
State Hanson. All we know is
the result, which is that ninety
nine hundredths of the men of
Beltrami county who must pass
on the advisableness of the con-
stitutional amendments must
vote in the dark. ~,.,
The Pioneers advice to the
voter is: Do not vote for the first
amendment. Ii you DO not feel
like voting against it, at least do
not vote for 1T; leave that portion
of your ballot blank.
Changing the constitution is
always serious thing. We can
not afford to make any mistakes
when we tamper with that veneer.

along very we'll under the old
constitution, and we might as
well let well enough alone; at
least until we can act in

This fish Is found in the Atlantic
ocean around the coast of Spain, the
south Of France, in the Mediterranean
and in the Indian ocean. Sea horses
are very small and have been found
often curled up in oyster shells. The
head is much like that of horse, and
the rings around the body and tail re-
semble those of some caterpillars. The
habits Of these fishes are singular and
interesting. They swim with a waving
motion, and frequently wind their tails
around the weeds and rushes. They
have fins to sustain them in the water,
and even in the air. They live on
