RUSSIA WILL PROCEED
 WITH ORIGINAL PLAN
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) the preliminaries of the Bialystok mas
 sacre. A long series of revolutionary
 and terroristic signs have been attrib-
 uted by the police to the Jews, culnin-
 ating, as was the case of Bialystok, in the assassination of the chief of po- | lice, Goltseff. The funeral of Goltseff
 to-day was the occasion of a great demonstration by the Russian popula- ton. The condition of feeling is shown by the refusal of Goltseff's widow to receive a wreath sent by Jewish so- oiety as a mark of it's disapproval of 1 the assassination. A similar incident, | 1t will be remembered, occurred at Bi- lalystok. It now develops that after the explosion of bomb In a street in the Hebrew quarter, and which, ac- lcording to the official explanation, was accompanied by revolver firing from four Jewish houses, the troops opened
 a general fusillade, in which seven
 Jews and one Christian were killed and many wounded. Thirty-three Jews
 were arrested on the spot on suspicion
 of complicity in the bomb throwing and Hiring. The Jews in panic are now fleeing the city. Sedloe is in the pro- Ivince of the same name which adjolns the province of Grodno, in which Bi- lalystok is located, and the two cities lare about sixty miles apart.
 Aside from the province of Stavropol, 1 the northern Caucasus agrarian is now the more serious in the provinces of
 Poltava and Vladimir, where the peas
 antry are indulging in the customary Ipillaging and destruction of estates and lincendiarisnl employing for the latter
 purpose phosphorus, with which they have been supplied by the revolutionary organizations.
 Excesses are increasing and sporadic disorders are reported in the provinces
 of Moscow, Yaroslaw, Volhynia, Sim birsk, Kasan and Yekaterinosav. Premier Stolypin has sent circular to all governors ordering them to en- lploy the most energetic measures to prevent the peasantry from taking pos- session of private estates, to which they are being melted by the revolutionists
 The disaffection of the Cossacks at Novo-Tcherkask, which resulted in the sending of infantry to disperse peasant gatherings, eliminated in the staying of la Cossacks' commander while he was with his men. The circumstances of the affair are not yet known.
 The manager of the Odessa branch of the New York Life Insurance company
 to-day received a letter demanding a |contribution of $lO,O0O to the revolu- tionary cause and threatening him with death if he refused. Instead of paying
 the money the manager notified the po- lice and informed Governor Kaulbars
 that he demanded protection, which was furnished.

TOWN POVERTY TO THE LIMIT.

The little town of Mattamiscontis |again is in trouble on account of non- payment of it's county tax for the year 1905, and unless settlement is made
 the property of the town will be levied
 upon, as was done last year. This year the situation is worse than it was
 last year, for there has been no cleo ton of town officers, including assess ors, for 1906, and no money has been raised for payment of State or county tax.
 Last year Deputy Sheriff sproul was sent up there to levy upon the estates
 of the inhabitants and attach the property of the Town Treasurer to se- cure the payment of S30 in county taxes, which the town officers had re-
 fused or neglected to pay within the time allowed by Law. A few days ago County Treasurer Friend notified the officials of Mattamiscontis that suit will be brought if the taxes are not paid this month. He received re-
 ply from the Town Treasurer, who held over from 1905, saying that he was busy having, but that he would
 see to it" when he had got his crop in the barn.
 The little town has had hard time lately, as its population has dwindled to almost nothing, and the few peo- pie left have to struggle to get liv- ing, to say nothing of paying taxes To make matters worse, the firm of s.
 & J. Adams of Bangor, owners of the wild lands which form a large part of
 the township, refused two years ago to pay the local tax accessed upon their holdings, on the ground that the tax had not been legally assessed and claiming that in reality they had for
 some time been paying practically all
 of the local. State, and county taxes
 for Mattamiscontis.
 The place was set off from How" land and incorporated as town in 1929, but has never tlourished. Now
 the people want to be taken back into
 the arms of Rowland. The next Leg
 islature probably will settle the fate
 of the wilderness municipality that can
 not raise tax of $SO.-Bangor (Me.) Special,

 The next speaker was Dr. Tait But Ter, in response to the toast Sanitary
 Control" He said that the doctors must educate the public in the object. aim and importance of the medical pro- fession. The halo of mystery surround ing the profession must be removed.

A writer in Harper's Weekly makes
some interesting comments upon a re-
cent dispute between Rabbi Silyerman
and Justice Brewer over the question
as America a Christian naticnW DR..
Silverman contended that it is not, the
majority Of Americans, according to
him. not being Christians. He holds
that there are over 100000 people In
this country who belong to the various
non Christian religions or to no re-
ligion at all DR.. Silverman Is quoted
as having affirmed that our govern
ment owes nothing to the Christian
religion as far as its elements are con-
cerned and that, in fact, our govern
ment is founded on the laws OF Moses.
The Harper's Weekly writer argues
that the Christian religion itself is a
development of the Jewish and that 1t
might be true that our government was
founded on the laws Of Moses and still
be true that it was based on Christian
ity. An enormous majority Of our
people. he says, think in the terms OF
the Christian religion: "What religion
a man belongs to in a large sense Is
not to be determined by his conduct or,
often, by his professions, but by his
history. You can tell what mans re-
ligion is by the way he swears as well
as by the way he prays An over
whelming majority Of our population
is Christian by heredity and instinct,
and it is an entirely justifable use Of
language to call the United States a
Christian nation"

process is an Inheritance, and the con-

Naming Indians.

Under instructions from President
Roosevelt DR.. Charles \. Eastman, a
Sioux Indian, has renamed more than
$4,000 Sioux with family names, says
a writer in The World Today, in order
to make the Inheritance Of land more
simple and secure.
Where possible he has kept the orig
inal Sioux name Of some member Of a
family, as in bestOwing the name MA
toska." meaning "White Bear" on the
family of that chief. Sometimes the
combination Of wife's name and hus-
bands has made a musical name, as
"Winona Otana." The favorite name
for woman means "she who has a
beautiful home" which DR.. Eastman
has Anglioized In the patronymic
GoOdhOuse."
But by far the hardest task Is In
finding new names for the absurdities
of Indian nomenclature. Bob Tailed
Coyote" was a young Indian who has
come to prefer himself as Robert 7.
Wolf" After a long struggle with
Rotten Pumpkin" DR.. Eastman has at
last recorded the owner of the name
on the tribal records under the non
committal title Of Robert Pumpian."

he has been at his post in that arch

of the way he has done it.

II is not often that the progress of
civilization and its cOnveniences make
safer the resorts of wild beasts, but
such a consequence is reported by For
est and Stream in Florida. 1t was once
the common practice Of tourists to
shoot birds and aligatOrs from the
decks of steamboats, on Florida rivers
and lakes. This abominable, because
cruel and useless, warfare was waged
until the supply Of victims for the
brutality was nearly exhausted. The
development Of the Florida railway
system, by which the tide Of travel has
been diverted from the water courses
has had a direct and marked effect on
the wild life of the country. Instead
Of the leisurely progress by water craft

breaking 1t Gently.

Among the closest friends Of Senator
Crane Of Massachusetts is Senator
Piles of Washington, like himself
new member. Some time ago Crane
heard that Piles intended to make
set speech. He "gumshOed' to Piles
desk, which is on the rear row on the
Republican side, and said: piles, l
hear Senator Flint is going to make
speech. Now, you and Flint are from
the Pacific coast, the same part of the
country, you know. You 90 to Flint
and tell him it will be folly for him to
begin talking so soon. Tell him he
wants to observe the unwritten law
and sit quietly until he gets warm in
his chair. OF course l know he will
make a good speech, but you'll agree
with me that It Is better for him to re-
frain for time, and you can tell him
with the utmost prOpriety." Piles got
red and bit his lips, but he didn't make
speech
