.FINNS PREPARING FOR WAR
WILL OPENLY SUPPORT NEXT
OUTBREAK OF RUSSIAN
REVOLUTIONiSTS.

st. Petersburg, Feb. THE Novoe
Vrenlya continues it's revelations in
regard to the importations of arms
into Finland. The paper declares it
has evidence that the radical organiza-
ton In Finland is preparing for open
war In support of the next outbreak
Of the Russian revoluttonists. Not
only are we'll armed infantry forces
being drilled, but horses are being
trained for cavalry and artillery serv-
Ice and shells for field artillery are
being imported
The statements Of the Novoe Vrem-
va are undoubtedly correct so far as
the Finnish extremists are concerned,
cial Democratic organizations disclain,
any connection or even sympathy with
violent measures.
The appointment of General Lang
hoff, former commander of the Semio-
novsky regiment, to be state secretary
OF Finland, the connecting link be-
tween the emperor and the grand
duchy, Is unsatisfactory to the Fin
landers. General Langhoff, though a
native Finn, has been lifetime In the
Russian service and has no admins
trative qualities. The governor Of
Bjoerneborg. who was the Finnish
candidate for the state secretaryship,
was rejected, although his candidacy
was supported by Count Witte.

ROOSEVELT THEIR MASTER.
Kentucky Democrat Says Republicans
Dare Not Resist Him.

Washington, Feb. 7.-During the
debate on the rate regulation bill In
the house Mr.. Stanley (Ky.) declared
the bill supremely Democratic and
only adopted by the Republicans be-
cause the president had forced it. Con-
tinuing, he said:
Il have never been one of those
who have gone into Mysteries over the
president and shall not do 1t now. He
Is fairly honest man and good
judge of human nature and that Is
why he has stood sponsor for Demo
cratic doctrine.
"He has forced 1t down your throats.
He is your acknowledged master and
no matter how nauseous the d
when he shows his teeth and Grad
his whip you squirm and cowenda
dare not resist him." So
Mr.. Stanley eulogized WflYfam j.
Bryan during his speech, saying every
unpenitentiaried thief on Wall street
shuddered at the mention of his name.
"In 1900 these private car contractors
gave 100000 in three checks to keep
him in private life"

REV. DR.. eiMMONS, BANKER, MIN.
IsTER AND POLITICIAN, SUI.
CIDES AT PEORIA, ILL.
HAD BEEN ACCUSED OF IMMORTALITY
STATE ATTORNEY SAID TO HAVE
SECURED DAMAGING TESTi-
MONY AGAINST HIM.

Peoria, Ill, Feb. REV. DR.. G. H.
Simmons, pastor of the First Baptist
church, president of the Interstate
Savings bank and the Peoples Savings
bank and recently appointed manager
of the Yates senatorial campaign in
Peoria county, was found dead in bed,
having committed suicide during the
night.
The body was found by his wife
when she called him to breakfast. A
letter found beside him showed his
death to have been premeditated.
Three physicians who were hastily
summoned gave as their opinion that
death was caused by cyanide of potas-
stun. Coroner Baker took charge of
the remains.
The Peoples Savings bank, of which
Simmons was president, located in the
workmen's quarter of the city, did not
open its doors during the morning.
Cashier Look said it would remain
closed until some future action was
determined on There was run on
the bank the previous day and by 10
a. IN. a large crowd surrounded the
building, clamoring for their money.
Second Bank Pays Depositors.
The Interstate Savings bank, OF
which he was president up to Monday,
when his resignation was accepted and
E. c. Heidrich elected in his stead,
was also the object of run, but de-
positors are being paid as fast as pos
sible.
DR.. Simmons came to the First Bap-
b, church. five years ago from Terre
nte, Ind.,s and had been remarkably
1 ccessful. He secured national pub
ncity two years ago by advocating a
dramatization OF the life Of Christ. He
became local manager of the sena-
torial campaign of former Governor
Yates a week ago, shortly after seri-
GUS stories affecting his morals were
circulated. States Attorney Scholes
undertook an investigation and Sc
cured some sensational confessions
from boys of his congregation. DIR.
Simmons was forty years old and
leaves a widow. He held charges in
Texas, Jackson, Tenn, and Louisville,
KY, before coming here.

HIT EY RUNAWAY FREIGHT
PASSENGER TRAIN ON NORTH
ERN PACIFIC WRECKED AND
FOUR PERSONS KILLED.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 1.-THE most
disastrous wreck that has taken place
In the vicinity of Helena for many
years occurred shortly before mid
night two and half miles west OF
Helena.
A runaway Northern Pacific freight
train crashed into a passenger train
on the same line, wrecked it complete
ly, set fire to 1t and caused the death
of at least four persons. The dead
are: ]. N. Robinson, Missoula;
Charles Brickle, conductor passenger
train; J. A. Jessup, express messen.
ger; Foster Senegal, merchant of Ell
liston, None Of the passengers who
escaped with their lives was seriously
injured.
The passenger train passed through
Austin, about eight miles west of Hell
ena, on time. Following 1t was long
freight train made up of box and fiat
cars loaded with lumber and shingles.
At Austin the engine was uncoupled
from the freight to take water and
the train was left standing ON the
track. There is a steep grade east of
Austin and by some means the freight
train got started down the hill.
Engineer Attempts to Get Away.
The passenger train stopped when 1t
arrived at the Montana Central cross
ing and the engineer heard a sound
behind him that warned him Of dan
ger. lie started his train but 1t had
gone but few feet when the freight
crashed into the rear car. There were
but two cars in the train and they
were smashed and thrown into the
ditch. The engine became uncoupled
but did not leave the track and Engi-
neer Petty managed to keep ahead OF
the flying freight. The freight went
probably 500 feet when it, too, went
of the track. In a few minutes fire
started and for hours the cars and the
lumber burned fiercely.
Express Messenger Jessup, pinned
under the burning wreckage, was alive
and conscious when rescuers reached
the scene, but heroic efforts to release
him before the flames reached him
were futile and he was burned to
death before the eyes of the horrified
spectators. The bodies of the other
victims were consumed.

A GREAT WASTE.

The waste associated with the corn
stalks all over the corn growing Sec
ton is something enormous, probably
the biggest agricultural waste to be
found in the whole country. Only a
very small per cent of the stalks are
utilized as fodder save as the stock
run through the fields during the fall
and winter and, with little benefit to
the cattle, fill themselves with the dry
and withered husks. Not less than 70
per cent of the food value of the corn
plant is thus entirely wasted. There
is no manufacturing business IN all the
country which would stand this sort OF
loss for a minute or even one-tenth
of it. Men say it does not pay to put
corn in the silo or cut it up for winter
feed because they have so much hay.
The question is why they devote so
many acres to the production of hay
when the cornfield omers the best pos
sible substitute for it. Utilizing the
corn fodder releases just so many acres
of hay land and to all intents and pur-
poses thus increases the acreage Of a
mans farm. High priced corn land is
going to compel a change. The stalks
will either be utilized as winter fodder
for the stock or some method will be
devised to use them for their value in
the making of paper.

DIED 2D THE
CUTLLOHNE
Weird and Curious Scenes at
q ReceS2f Execution
IA France.

remarkable scenes characterized the
public guillotining of two murderers
at Dunkirk, France, recently, says a
correspondent of the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. There have not been many
such executions recently because the
authorities have considered the result
ing exhibitions demoralizing For this
reason French murderers are usually
reprieved.
The men who suffered the extreme
penalty were the two Belgian burglars,
Van den Bogaert and Zwartwaeger,
who murdered and robbed Nine.

the boat alone at Dunkirk the prison.
ers went on board, strangled her, cut
her throat and then plundered the cab
in. They were tried at Douay last
May and condemned to death. They
fully expected a Communication of their
sentence, and President Loubet receiv-
ed their advocate recently at Ram
bouillet. M Loubet did not see his
way to granting communication, so the
guillotine was sent to Dunkirk. Del
bier, the executioner, and his assist,
ants reached the port the same day.
The execution took place in front Of
the prison in the Rue Guilleminot. The
official announcement that the eXecu-
ton would be public attracted an enor-
nous number of people to the town,
and high prices were paid in advance
for windows looking on the prison.
ltinerant singers and musicians took
up positions at various points in the
streets. Parties sat supping at impro-
vised supper tables. Here and there
couples were dancing gayly to the mu-
sic Of violin or guitar.
Bogaert was awakened first at g
O'Clock in the morning. When told
that he was to die he remarked in
Flemish, ''I'm going to have a change
of air at last" Zwartwaeger was not
facetious, but took the news serious
ly. The condemned men received the
sacrament from the prison chaplain.
Bogae1t broke out at various stages in
to loud laughter, exclaiming: "Oh, is
it not pretty? How very nice it is?"
When the priest had concluded Bo-
gaert, turning to the jailer, remarked,
with sheer, docs he not talk beau
tifully" He continued his gibes up
to the very moment he was pinioned
by the eXecutioners.
When he looked from the scaffold at
the sea Of faces regarding him from
windows, housetops and even the Chin
neys he shouted: ooh, this is really
beautiful! What a splendid sight!''
Then, having drained the glass of
rum which was offered him, he quickly
kissed the crucifix which the priest

MINING THE SOIL,

A gentleman from abroad inter eSted
In agriculture very aptly referred to
the common methods of forming in this
country as mining the soil" Mining
implies removing the valuable things
from the soil and leaving nothing IN
their place. such kind of farming as
makes the land grow constantly poorer
This thing is the bane of western agri-
culture particularly it being practiced
under the foolish delusion that western
soils are so fertile that nothing can
ever wear them out Evidences of soil
depletion are now met with on every
hand. for the growing crops indicate
that the soil they grow in is starved
and hungry. Such methods of farming
would not be permitted for a moment
in any of the European countries, for
had they been followed such countries
would long ago have been depopulated.
the people starved off from the land.
In those countries today as much at
tention is paid to properly feeding the
soil as any Of the animals on the farm
Rotation crops, the extensive use of
the legumes, the continuous applica-
ton of fertilizers to the land and the
keeping of as large an amount of stock
as possible on the farm are part Of
the ten commandments in foreign agri-
culture, and we will have to come to
the same method if we ever conserve
and increase the fertility Of our Soils
no matter how rich they may have
been in their virgin state. The tenant
system here is altogether bad, the one
year rental scheme being a soil robber
of the first order. Continued grain rails
ing and grain selling is another, and
the utter failure to grow clover on SO
many farms insures continuing de-
pletion of all soil fertility. r

THE MIGRATION TO CANADA

The stampede Of farmers from the
States to western Canada still contin-
ues, the number settling there this sea-
son being estimated at not less than
$4,000. The conditions there are very
attractive. The land is cheap . from
SIS to $50 per acre-it is easily brought
under cultivation and is especially
adapted to the growth of wheat, oats,
barley, fax, potatoes and vegetables.
The quality Of the wheat produced is
of the best and always commands the
highest market price, and then it is a
safe and very productive crop, an aver
age of twenty bushels per acre for
period of twenty years being claimed.
There are some drawbacks to farm life
in that PARKWAY country. The Ameri-
can has to live under monarchial
form of government instead of a re-
public, farm work is crowded into a
short period of each year, farms are
large, and the people live an isolated
life; then the wheat business is sure to
come to an end there, just as it has
done in all new countries in the United
States, and for want of the ability to
raise corn the carrying on Of a diver
sifed agriculture will be far more diff
fcult than in the States. However,
men can make a lot of money there
now just growing wheat, and it is this
fact that is the magnet which is at
tracing the farmers of the corn belt.
