st. Petersburg August H.-The distri-
button of crown appanages, the nrst
mart of the administrations agrarian pro-
gramme, by which it is hoped to win
the peasantry to the support of the gov
eminent at the coming elections was
nut in effect today In a ukase published,
transferring the 100000 acres or ap-
panage lands mentioned in Associated
Press dispatches August %, to the peas
ants banks for distribution to the peas
ants
The urgency of the situation is such
that the ukase which was signed the
day of the attempt on Premier Stoly-
pins life was gazetted without waiting
for final decision as to the method and
terms of payment The principal question
whether the latter shall be 80 or 60 years,
has not yet been decided. The announce
ment on this point and of the transfer
of 10000 acres of crown lar<~, will be
made later.
The lands chosen for this first dis
tribution includes:
/ Lands under cultivation which are
not contiguous TO forest tracts, ana where
leases have expired.
9, Forests adjoining or surrounded by
peasant holdings.
8 woodlands suitable In the govern
ments of Archangel and Vologda.
The following kinds or appanages are
excluded from these operations:
Districts devoted to factories. foundries
or any mining concerns or provided with
agricultural or other valuable buildings
or gardens In a high state of cultivation;
those unsuited for farming, and finally
crown lands in the Crimea and trans
Caucasus and those appertaining to the
| Bieoviezh forest.
The superintendent of land assigned for
| sale and the taxation impossible on said
| lands, will be fixed by the agrarian COM
| mittee appointed by the Imperial ukase
of March with the assistance of the
| peasant bank.
The preparation for the scheme of the
| transfer and arrangements with the comp
troller of appanage lands and the final
| settlement of the conditions of sale by
imperial decree are confined to the min
lister of the imperial household. who Will
consult with the ministers OF the interior
and finance, and the chief agricultural
| authorities.

The West VIrgtnian's exposure OF
Democratic Inconsistencies IS being
reproduced in many parts OF the
state. The following from the Cam

news ls spreading:
+The Fairmont Times says the rail,
roads are assessed too high, Ehfle the
wheeling Register says the railroad
valuation Is too low These two Dem
ocratic organs are evidently under diff

From La Bulletin Medical.
The popular notion that rabies only
follows the bite of a mad animal. or.
by exception, the licking of a super:
fcial wound is incorrect, P. Rem
lfnger. director of the Imperial Bacter-
Illogical Institute of Constantinople.
has brought forward tire observa-
lions, which show the possibility of a
third method of contamination. A
certain number of animals, partfcu-
larIy the dog and the cat, have the,
habit of licking their paws. But Roux
and Nocard have shown that the sa-
Iva becomes virplent in q very few
days after the first appearance of the
symptoms of rabies. When the rabic
animal, is confined in one place the
saliva drlps upon the ground and soils
his paws, which are also contaminated
by licking with his tongue. Wounds,
therefore, made by scratching with
the claws OF a rabic animal Ire nee
essarily infected wounds. in scratch
ing the human skin the animal lays
bare a number Of nerve fiiIaments,
upon which the virus is deposited. Per.
sons who are scratched by animals
thought to be mad Should Therefore
submit themselves to appropriate
without loss Of time.

PECULIAR POLITICS.

The Times OF this morning makes
an attack upon Mr.. R. E. Harr be.
cause that paper says he at n time
deserted his party and voted for a
Democrat. Mr.. Harr must feel charm
ingly repaid for what he did for his
Democratic friend In thus having It
thrown up to him now because he Is
a candidate for office. The Republl-
cans who are now being asked to vote
for Democrats can see what thanks
they get for it. In a few years they
will laugh about 1t and call you a
traitor and throw 1t up to you should
you ever be before the public for Of
flee. This is certainly a peculiar
brand of politics and an enticing way
to get Republicans to scratch the tick
ct. Some of the fellows who are play.
ing into the hands Of the Democrats
have been and are likely to be candi-
dates again. They can see now what
the Times will do to them should thoy
come before the people. The time
was In this county when Democrats
could throw any kind of insults they
desired and treat Republicans any
way they wished for they didn't neel
Republican votes, but that day is past
and we mistake the kind of blood that
flows through Republican veins II
they will stand for such conduct and
still vote for Democrats.

a poIyeIot Campaign.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The editors throughout Indian Ter,
ritory have much to contend with. Be,
ing unable to reach all of the people in
that section of the new State by
printing unauthorized English they
are pursuing other tactics. The New
State Tribune, Democratic, is roasting
everything Republican, in the Greek
Language. Barring the fact that they
have worn four messenger boys to
shreds in an effort to get the head
lines translated before going to press,
and the fact'that two or three column
OF the stnff will make a raying maniac
out of an ordinary linotype operator.
the system thus far is meeting with
Democratic approval. The South Nc,
Alister News is damning everything
Democratic in Italian in an effort to
teach the Italian miner the proper way
to cast his vote, and the Muskogee
Phoenix is running a column edited rs

NOVEL RAIaPln.

A Washington man, observing the
ease with which hairpins fall out OF
womens hair, has invented a catch
which can be attached to the halrpin
and overcome this fault. The locking
device is so situated that when the pin
is inserted the lock will be opened to
permit the free passage into the hair,
and when it has been properly posi-
toned, and the hand removed, a spring
closes the lock against the pin. pre-
venting the pin from falling out. Across
tne top of the hairpin is finger piece.
plvoted to which is the catch. Normal
ly the end of this catch is forced by a
tension spring into a small opening ID
the side of the hairpin near the top.
In placing the hairpin the prongs are
held between three fingers and the
thumb, and the forefnger engages the
top to force it in position. Pressure is
then applied at the point shown in the
picture, which turns the finger piece
on its pivot and disengages the lock,
permitting the pin to pass freely
through the hair without catching. By
removing the finger from the finger
