MAssACRES OF RUSSIAN JEWS
o, Rubenstein VIII Lecture sunday
Evening on Their Causes
and Cure.

O. Rubenstein OF Sioux City will lecture
Sunday evening at o'clock at Crounse
hall, III North Sixteenth street on THE
Recent Massactes in Russia; Their Cause
and Cure" Mr.. Rubenstein is native Of
Russia, having lived in that country until
eleven years ago, and he is thoroughly ac-
auainted with conditions there. He keeps
himself informed on present conditions by
constant communication with the Jews of
his native land. The lecture will be pri-
marily for the Jews of the city, but all
others will be welcome. Rev. ]. r. Porter
will also talk on the same subject.
THE Jew in Russia is not the only revo-
lutionist," said Mr.. Rubenstein, but the
government is constantly seeking to give
out that impression. The massacres are the
result of race hatred melted by the govern
ment, which realizes that 1t can hold its
autocratic power as long as 1t keeps the
people fighting among themselves. II all
the peoples OF Russia, of which there are
1l2, were of one accord. the government
would be even more seriously pressed to-
ward reform than it Is as the people are
beginning to awaken to a consciousness Of
their rights.
while II is unnecessary to say that the
Jews are not responsible for more than a
Ntly AAaNNAOh VI ppiAtlNai SiAiAC0l anu
certainly not for the most formidable ones,
it is a fact that their sympathies are
largely on the side of the revolutionist.
How could It be different? They know that
their lot is unbearable. and that their gov
eminent will not only not do anything to
improve it. but will do all in its power to
perpetuate present conditions.
so ridiculous was the tale of the bomb
thrown by a Jew at a religious procession
at Bialystok that the Russian government
has FASTENED to withdraw 1t, and is now
making a pretense of contradicting 1t as a
means OF allaying the fury of the masses
infamed by 1t to point of rapine and
slaughter The guilt of the government in
this last atrooty against the Jews stands
out clearly before the civilized world.

zone reason. though not the only reason
for this increase was my special effort to
collect fines When people lay ia jail who
had friends willing to pay for them helped
them find them, and even endorsed their
drafts on out-of-town banks-several times
being requested to pay them personally
out of my own pocket.
During my term had custody OF all the
cash bonds put up by prisoners released in
this way-the amount must have been
close to s5O.OOO-and there was never any
trouble over It or any complaint that the
money was not paid on demand to the
parties to whom 1t belonged. Any Of the
officers who have acted as desk sergeapts
during this time will testify to this. If a
man wanted to be dishonest in the position
l occupied he would not have to stop, at a
paltry few dollars"

Sluggish Liver Described. - How
Pe-Tu-na Relieves Such Cases

A sluggish liver is brought
about in the following way:
There is a catarrhal condition
Of the mucous membrane lining
the stomach. This catarrhal
condition spreads downward to
that portion of the alimentary
canal just below the stomach,
known as the duodenum.
Into the duodenum empty the
bile ducts. These bile ducts are
lined with mucous membrane
continuous with the mucous
membrane of the duodenum.
The catarrhal Inflammation
therefore gradually spreads
from the membranes of the
stomach and duodenum into the
bile ducts.
This thickens the mucous
membranes and clogs up the
ducts. The bile is then turned
back into the liver and the
liver and the whole circulation
Of the liver impeded, produc-
ing what is known as sluggish
liver.
Cathartics bring only tenn
pprary relief. They slush out
the liver for the time and re-
lieve this sluggishness. but It
has been the universal expert
ence Of mankind that the slug
gishness will return very
quickly.
The only permanent relief is
