ing of julius Caesar.
The 25th of March, 1901, was the day
on which the Emperor Paul of Russia
was aSsassinated. Paul had received
some whispers of the plot against his
life and had arranged to leave st Pc
tersburg the following day and 20 to
Moscow, where he fancied he might be
safer. On the evening Of the 25th he
retired to rest at an early hour that he
might thoroughly rest himseI before
commencing his journey. At II O'Clock
about a score Of the conspirators-offi
GERS holding high rank in the army
appeared at the gate of the palace. 1t

The emperOr's aid-de-camp was one
OF the foremost Of the conspirators and
went in advance of the others to Paul's
bedchamber. before the door of which

shouted out to alarm the emperor and
Immediately fell pierced by the swords
of the conspiratOrs. Paul attempted to
bolt the door, but being unable to do
so seized his sword and turned boldly
on them. What is your designy' he
demanded Of Count Plato Zouboff,
and what do these men wat who are

What! Do you, who have been load

piled ZOuboff. 1.-The nation has provid-

Paul at this raised his sword, and
the conspirators, who had not expected
him to show so much courage, drew
back, with the exception Of a man
named Beningsen, who urged the 9TH
ers forward, saying:
IF you hesitate, you are lost"
Then Count Valerian Zouboff struck
the first blow, and the others quickly
followed his example. AS Paul still

there are s5,107 900. The returns from
Nome are about the same as last year,
but there has been marked decrease
in the output of the Klondike, which is
100000 below 1907.
California shows loss of about a
million and half, which it attributed
to a severe drouth which interfered
with the work of the quartz mills and
prevented the use of dredges in placer
mining.
Colorado gains about $1,000,000 The
other mountain states run about the
same as the previous years, with the
exception of Utah, which is about
$450,00O in advance and Nevada,
which gained little less than $780,

Prevents American Competition With
Other Nations in China.
SPECIAL AGENT CRIsT MAKES REPORT
Merchants of This Country Are Handi-
capped to Great Degree, He
Declares,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The re-
partment of commerce and labor, now
in China, on handicaps Americans en-
| counter in competing with foreigners
in the markets of the Orient has re-
ceived much attention in Washington
and called forth some red hot criti-
cism. Among other statements is one
that Americans will not be able to ex-
tend their trade very much until di-
rect steamship lines connect the At
lantic coast with China so costly is
| the transportation of goods by the
transcontinental railroads, so frequent
the delay, and so great the injury to
the consignments Many government
officials disagree with these conclu-
sions.
Mr.. Crist points out that goods from
| Liverpool or Hamburg, arrive in
weeks after being ordered, while from
three to six months will elapse during
the shipment from New York Goods
| from German merchants are sure to
| arrive within twenty-four hours of the
| time calculated upon in cable dis
patches, but he says there is no tell
ing when you will get goods when they
are sent across the American continent
and the Pacific.
The basis of the complaint, he says,
is the lack of attempt to expedite ship
ment on the part of the railroad Off
Gals. Then American goods must be
handled at least six times in a ship
ment, while European goods require
not more than three. In America, it's
from factory to cars, cars to snip at
port of export, ship to lighter at
lighter to coastwise ship for Tientsin,
and from ship to customs landing
thence to the Chinese merchant The
jamming, smashing, throwing and
tumbling incident to repeated handl-
ing is costly.
m many instances shipments from
Manchester to Tientsin have but the
handling necessary to place them on
board ship from the factory direct and
rom the ships hold to the customs
landing at the port" says he, 'at most
the placing upon the lighters at the
bar, thereby entailing but three handl-
ings, a condition which American man.
| Ifacturers and exporters can not hope
| to be favored with until steamship
lines regularly ply between Atlantic
ports and ports of North China as
English and German lines are now do
ing. No matter how carefully the
question of packing may be studied
and how thorough the work may be
done, there will always be this handi
cap to meet and overcome in shipping
products from the United States to
this immense and growing field"

Break q Bad TEMPER.

Anger gets more people into trouble
than meanness. We do and say things
while in temper that we spend the
rest Of our lives In regretting Parents
should never punish their children
while in anger, for If they do the child
Invariably gets more than it deserves.
Wait till you cool down before you
whip or shut up in dark closets. Then,
too, If it is the child that has temper
and not yourself break it before the
age of six is reached, for If you don't
then that child's temper is likely never
to be conquered.

TRY OLD GAME ON RAILROADS
MEN WANTED ON ROAD WORK,
GET FREE PASSES AND
THEN JUMP JOBS.

PROSSER, Jan. 23-Over two hun
dred men sent here to work on the Co.
lumbia river railroad were unloaded
here last week and the number was
augmented by another delegation from
Duluth, MINI. The first crowd shipped
from the twin cities of Minnesota
Immediately after the first delegation
made tour of the city, about a hun
dred strong appeared at the ticket
window and inquired as to the rates
to Seattle and endeavored to purchase
tickets to the coast. The request was
turned down by Agent Murnane on
the advice received from higher au-
tnoritieS. 1t seems that the men Sc
cured transportation from Minneapo-
lis on the false representation that
they wanted work on the railroad. A
nominal fee was charged, and when the
men arrived here, they ignored their
promises and tried to get to Seattle
When tickets were refused them about
fifty hit the grit in the direction of
Seattle, and it is understood purchased
tickets at Mabton
At any rate the ruse of Agent
Murnane had effect and the others
changed their minds and went out to
the camp to work.

Mississippi Valley Dealers Have
Strong Organization.
CONTROL PRICE OF BUILDING MATERIAL
includes All Prominent White and
Norway Pine Lumbermen in the
Middle West.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. %
The first convention of the Northern
Pine Manufacturing association opened
mere today. The new organization,
which has not yet been permanently
organized, is the result of a merger Of
the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's
association and the Wisconsin State
Lumbermen's association. The two
associations have always been closely
connected in the past and during the
past few years there had been a
growing sentiment in favor of con-
solidating the two associations, whose
interests We're so closely allied. The
matter was discussed in both organi-
ed to bring about the merger. The
latter was effected at a meeting in
Der and the present convention is the
first joint convention of the CONSOLE
dated associations. The new associa-
ton will permanently organize and
elect its officers for the ensuing year.
1t is probable that the headquarters
of the new organization will be estab-
lished in this city. The new organi-
cation includes nearly all the promi-
nent waite and Norway pine lumber
men and manufacturers of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.

Illiterate Immigrants.

Discussing the immigration bill now
before congress to rase the tax from
two to five dollars head. the Phila-
delphia Record says a chief complaint
OF the petitions is not that the immi-
grants are physically weak, but that
they are too strong. 1t goes on to say:
''As for the educational test, which
prescribes that every immigrant over
16 years shall be able to read, long ex-
perience shows that this small degree
OF culture is not necessary for labor In
the fields. in railroad grading, tunnel
ing, street cleaning and other pursuits
with which the masses Of immigrants
begin life on these shores. To ward on
the political evils of illiteracy the
states most effected by them (Pennsyl-
vania, for example). have only to pro-
vide. as Massachusetts and most Of the
southern states have done, against put
ting the ballot in the fists of people
who cannot read 1t. But by curious
contradiction the utmost facilities for
enabling ignorance. native and natur-
allied, white and black, to exercise the
suffrage are afforded by Pennsylvania
and other states in which most of the
flliterate immigrants find lodgment. II
these states should apply the educa-
tional test to the elective franchise
there would be little cause for COM
plant concerning the immigration of
illiterates from Europe"

Rurnl water Supply.


When such great sums of money arc
being expended by city governments
that the Inhabitants of towns may
have q sanitary water supply, 1t seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention
This latter population may seem rel
atively insignificant, but according to
the last census 1t comprises about 40.-
100000 souls. This means that 40.-
100000 people are drinking the water
most available. without a thought of
its sanitary condition. These various
springs or small streams. are similarly
unreliable for furnishing drinking wa
ter. The statistics of mortality in the
country are very indefinite, but even
these show that the rural population Is
not as free from Illness as 1t should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate is lower than the urban
death rate, yet the lowering In the
country has not been as great as in
the city. An examination of typhoid
ototAotASo ohoWo thal tho hSoNh Aheo "a
other diseases is generally lower in
the country than in the city, but the
prevalence OF typhoid is almost equal
TO IL not greater in the rural districts
than in the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the
rural typhoid rate to be ten times
greater than the urban rate for the
same district. To particularize, a GER
tain district In central Pennsylvania
proves this fact. 1t is made up of
rural population with LOG inhabitants
to the square mile. 1t is a region of
fine farms, wild mountains and woods,
country residences and picnic groves.
And in this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever as in the city of
Philadelphia. Sad as this condition Is,
there seems to be no remedy for it.
The sources Of city water supply are
few, and the city government easily
controls the conditions affecting 1t.
But what can be done when the
sources of supply are numbered by the
thousands. A mint of money and an
army of chemists would not be suf-'
ficient to give the same care to the
country supply that is given to that Of
the city.

PAPER COMBINE BEATEN.
Knocked Out by Decision of the so-
preme Court.

st. Paul.-The United States gov
ernment Friday secured an uncondi-
tional surrender in the United States
Circuit Court before Judge Sanborn in
the suit which the attorney general be-
gan December IT, 1904, to dissolve a
combination between the General Pa
per Company and twenty-three other
defendants on the ground that an agree
ment had been entered into by the de-
PENDANTS in restraint of interstate COM
merce.
The Paper company appealed to the
Supreme Court, which decided that its
members must testify, and the defend
ants withdrew their answers, and the
plaintiff asked for judgment and 1t was
rendered.
This means that there will again be
competition among paper mills. The
suit caused reduction Of over ten per
cent. in the price of paper.
This is complete victory for the
government. The price of paper at the
time this suit was brought was from
$2.25 to $2.35 per hundred weight. The
bringing of this suit already has had
the effect of reducing the price of pa
per to about s1.S5.
The decision will be important TO
newspaper publishers throughout the
country. Competition will not be re-
newed by all the mills in the country.

RIOT IN ZION.
Dowie Meeting Breaks Up In Lively
Free Fight.

Chicago.-A meeting over which
John Alexander Dowie presided at
Zion City Sunday afternoon was
broken up by a number of followers of
the opposing faction, assisted by sew
eral outsiders, and before the crowd
dispersed a free fight occurred.
Dowie was addressing the audience,
numbering about 600. and made the
statement that the overseers Of Voliva
faction were thieves and robbers. AT
,once a number of those in the audience
were on their feet shouting: mo, no,
you are the robber; why don't you pay
your debts?"
The disturbance became so violent
that a Zion guard took hold OF an old
grayheaded man who was loudest In
his demands for Dowie to pay his obli-
cations, and this was signal for a free
fight. A dozen men seized the guard
and were about to drag him down the
aisle, when Gladstone Davis and Dea-
con Arlington mounted the platform
and called upon the audience not to
create a disturbance, and to take their
seats.
After quiet had been restored Dowie
again attempted to proceed with the
meeting, but he was jeered and called
cided to dismiss the audience.
At later meeting called for Dowie
adherents only, but which was invaded
by a large number of those who were
riotous at the former meeting, Dowie
precipitated a second general disturb
ance. He caused to be read letter
from one of his SUPPORTS stating that
the writer's wife had passed safely
through the crisis of serious illness
while Dowie prayed for her. This fact
Dowie compared with the case Of Mrs.
NJ. E. Cantel, wife of an overseer. who
died last Friday without medical atten-
ton, while Voliva and his supporters
were Offering prayers for her recovery.
Dowie declared that he feared the
woman would die because she had as
sociated herself with the rebels. There
was storm of Kisses and shouts OF
shame"
There is death in store for more of
you if this rebellion keeps on" contin-
eud Dowle. Again the people sprang
from their chairs, shouting and gestic-
ulating. until the tumult became so
general that Dowie was obliged to
bring the meeting to a close.
