REAL HAVANA FOR FIVE CENTS.

P. IA. Clemmer at Last Finds a Nickel
Cigar Worth Smoking.
When P. a. Clemmer, who probably
has the largest sale for high grade
cigars of any dealer in Cresco, heard
that long Havana filler cigar was
being retailed for &C., he was natural
ly incredulous. AS he wanted to give
his customers the best cigars for the
least money he got q sample box of
the Wadsworth Bros. Chicos.
The samples were all all right and
he ordered trial 1000 to see how
they would please his trade. The re-
suit was wonderful, as men who had
been buying ten and fifteen cent
cigars said they preferred the Chicos.
IT is good and satisfactory smoke
with clear Havana aroma
Try Chico to-day and you will en-
Joy it, II you like good cigar.

Governor General Of Moscsw. Who Was
Wounded by a Bomb,S
name was given as Metz, which proved
his connection with the three revolu-
tionists Who were killed by the explo-
sion of bomb in their room Satur-
day. that being ths name under which
the apartment occupied BY the revolu-
tionists was rented.
], Vice Admiral poubassoff was retu, n
ing to the palace from the Uspenshi
cathedral when wounded. Since the
attack guards have been increased
about the palace and every access to
the place is barred.
&. The governor general was wounded
in the head and foot by bomb thrown
at him, and his injuries may prove
fatal. His aide-de-camp. sentry and
two other persons were killed, The as
sassin also met death, and his poor
aim in throwing the bomb alone saved
the governor.
The outrage took place outside the
carriage entrance to his palace. Ac-
cording to the route decided on in ad
vance the governor general SHOULD
have returned to the palace by the
side entrance, but during the drive he
changed his route and thereby ran
into the peril he was seeking to
avoid.
Hurls Bomb Thrower Many Yards.
The bomb exploded on the pave
mens several PAGES to the rear Of his
carriage, hurting the mutilated corpse
of the terrorist several yards back
ward and tearing of one arm and the
face OF an aid who was descending
from the carriage.
Doubassoff was thrown from his car
riage and under the horses heels. His
head was injured, his foot cut, and his
Pack burned. He was removed to the
palace and given medical attention 1t
is feared he cannot survive his
wounds.

st. Petersburg, May 8.-Assassins
murdered Maj. Gen. Zheltonoviski with
a bomb at Elizabethgrad, the crime
being the third of the same character
perpetrated within IL hours by the ter
rorists.
The other victims were the governor
general of Ekaterinoslav, who was
killed by volley of pistol bullets, and
Vice Admiral Doubassoff, who was
probably fatally injured by bomb at
Moscow.
These three outrages, committed on
the eve of the assembling of the dou-
ma and in spite of the most rigorous
military and police precautions, have
almost paralyzed the ruling classes
with fear. Guards are being doubled
on every hand, but it is felt that there
offer little security to the reaction
aries, as 1t is knswn that terrorists
and reyolutionists have emissaries in
the households of all the mobiles, even
of the emperor himself.
Gen. Zheltonoviski was the govern
or general of Elizabethgrad. He was
killed by a bomb that was thrown at
him by revolutionists. The govern
or of Ekaterinoslav was killed by si2
men, who fired pistols at him and es.

His Visits to the Earl.

There Is well known English bishop who writes a very bad hand. This bad hand caused sad error to happen some years ago. A young clergyman had written to the bishop to Inquire about a vacant curacy, and the reply that the young man got Informed him that the salary was small and the work difficult. But there was one mitigating circumstance. The incumbent, among his other duties, would visit the earl every morning and spend two hours thcre The curate would nave rejected the post but for the daily visit to the earl. That attracted him. There would, no doubt, he told himself, be many fashionable dinners to which he would naturally be invited. He would make many friends among the rich and powerful. These friends would be able to help him in his career. The earl, perhaps, had daughters. One of them who knows ?-stranger things had happened. And so the curate accepted the difficult and poorly paid curacy to discover on his first visit to the town that he had misread the bishops letter and that his daily two hours visit was not to the earl. but to the jail.

A Long-Legged Deer.

A huge, finely mounted antlered head hung just above the sidebOard in the dining-room. This trophy of some huntsman's skill was fastened so firm ly to the wall that the glistenlng neck seemed to be coming right out through the plaster. Robert, who was seeing this decoration for the first time, eyed it with lively curiosity and very evident uneasiness. It looked almost too llfe- like for comfort.
 Finally the boy, asking to be excused, slipped from his chair, tiptoed into the next room, and then, flushing with em- barrassment, returned to his place at the table.
 "What's the trouble, Robert?' asked his host s..
 q wanted to see,' explained candid Robert, sheepishly, Eff that animals legs were really as long as that, or If he were standing on something in an- other room."

Cages for Hair.

Women who have returned recently from Paris are introducing new French evening costume that outdOes in altitude anything since the powdered wig of colonial days. The framework of the new arrangement is a cage-like, wire affair, patterned after high skull cap. This is placed just in the center of the head, and the tresses are ar- ranged over it to give the effect of a towering mass of 'crowning glory" The hair first is waved, then separated to hang in even quantities on all sides of the head. When the "cage" has been adjusted the wavy locks are drawn up loosely over 1t and arranged in a graceful knct at the summit. If the hair is too scanty for this treatment the ends are tucked in on top and pinned, and group of artificial curls is fastened above.

For American Citisens.

When the visitor approached the dip lomatic gallery of the Senate chamber the door-keeper informed him, says q Writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, that the gallery was reserved for foreign representatives.
 "It is, hey?' said the visitor. "Well I want to tell you right now that this is free country and this Is the Senate of the United States, and I demand ad- mission in the name of American cltl- zenship." Aif. '.Nt
 "Oh!" said the doorkeeper. "Why didn't you say at first that you were an American citizen? Just step round to the second door from here. That gallery is reserved for American clti- Zens."
 With chest puffed up, the stranger betook himself to the door indicated, and was at once admitted to the public gallery.
