Ate the Celery Raw-Llke a Cow.

Lyme Torgraves blew into Leon along
in the seventies and brought with him
whif-to our society leaders a most
delectable breeZe-of eastern civiliZa-
tion and showed US how to use finger
bowls with blase air and was author
ity for two seasons on waist-coats and
shoo-fly neckties. True we had had
railroad for two or three years but our
people had too many pleasures in this
life to risk all in foolish travel and the
most of us were little acquainted with
the gastronomic values of such novel
ties as Oranges, Bananas, etc. Not a
few of the members of our "Bon Ton
had never ever had an opportunity to
munich celery. OF course we all bought
oranges from the news boy when we
went any where on 'the train" but
bananas we're mystic luxury referred
to in bated breath as "Oob-a-nan-oos"
because Charlie Hassell, who suffered
badly, had so named his first consign-
ment of this fruit.
Lyme Forgrave knew celery when he
saw it and he thought he recognized an
untitled want in this community, SO with
his characteristic energy he proceed to
fill it. After much trouble and, a sue
cession of failures Lyme succeeded in
growing and bleaching fine bed Of
celery. Then in order to advertise his
venture and create the celery habit in
Leon, or perhaps because he was good
fellow, he handed few samples around
amongst his friends. He left a fine
bunch with the ever popular druggist
and asked him to give it trial and let
him know how he liked it. The next
day Lyme made an extra special trip to
the drug store to find out how the gift
was appreciated. well, how'd you like
that celery?' he asked. "Durn it" said

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that intiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of
remedies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is therefore,
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an eX-
tensive sale, has met with great success
in the treatment of the disease. One
application of Pain Balm will re ieve
the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by it's use.
Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such
quick relief and costs but trifle? For

CURTAIN RISES UPON LAST
 ACT OF RUSSIAN REVOL UTI0N

ready has been elected at Moscow and with similar council here in conjunc- ton with the group of toll of Parlia- ment, a rising of the people will be en- gineered. The leaders at recent meeting in Moscow issued instructions to branch organizations throughou. the empire. warning them against prema- ture divided action and specifically in structjng them when the signal is gf s en to extend the strike gradually tsd carefully, avoiding collisions at 1fshe beginning.

 The New Premier.
 While M. stolypin, who succeeds M. Goremykin as Premier. undoubtedly is a much stronger man than his prede- cessor. he probably will be unequal to the task of piloting the country through the revolutionary upheavai which Is just ahead and the general belief is that a dictatorship must come soon.
 The action of the emperor as indicat- ed in an interview with the Associat- ed Press by Comptroller of the Elm pire won Schwanebach will prove that the dissolution of parliament does not mean an annuiment of the principle of popular representation granted last tau and is certain to have little effect upon the people. It is the intention of the government to follow up this dis solution with the promuigation under authority of the fundamental law of the governments agrarian program in the hope that it will appease the peasants and give the government a majority in the next parliament.
 The vacillation which existed at Peterhof even to the last moment Is evident from the fact that two drafts of the ukase declaring St. Petersburg in, a state of extraordinary security were ready. The stronger one which proclaimed full martial law was dis- carded at the eleventh hour.
 Perhaps the most remarkable fea- ture of events connected with the dis solution of parliament Is that the gov ernment carefully avoided notifying the representatives of the foreign pow CTS of what was coming. No officiol warning was received even by the rep resentative of Russia's ally. France The only intimation that something was about to happen was the appear ance of guards at the embassies, lega- tions and consulate shortly after mid night, but this morning immediately after the guards, had been stationed, notes were sent explaining the meas ures taken to protect the foreign rep resentatlves Up to this evening no other communication has been trans p1itted to them.
 The representatives of the powers were busy today dispatching long tele- grams to their governments advising them of the sudden and serious turn of events. There were several con ferences of diplomats this afternoon for warships or at least of hirins esoanostips fc teke ofE fofeika subjects Fin case of neessity. but no action was decided upon.

Expected That Revolutionary Out
 bursfs Win Be PrecipEtated.
 Moscow, July 22.-The greatest con- sternation was created here by the news of the dissolution of parliament. It is expected that this action will precipitate revolutionary outbursts throughout Russia. Its effect on the peasantry is especially dreaded. It Is feared tomorrow that under the spur of the proletariat organizations which probably will order general strike. they will immediately begin univer- sal jacquerio.
 At a meeting of over 400 delegates of proletriat organisations Friday final preparations for general strike were perfected. The council of workmen's deputies elected to act with the council at St. Petersburg, and the group of toll, of Parliament, passed a resolution to support mass movement of peasants and a general strike in all industries and on the realroad and telegraph lines. Branch organizations were notified to await the signal by telegraph in order that there might be no chance for . fiasco.
 The object of the strike is not based on the demand for universal suffrage which the leaders declare should de- eide the future form of government in Russia.
 A special warning was issued to put the strike in force gradually and peacefully and assurance was given that at the proper time a majority Of the troops would join the movement.

 While few sections report damage from this source. general indications are that if August be dry month the crop will be we'll above tho average other hand. should the rains continue to any great extent the damage will range from ten to twenty-five per cent. The crop is safe as q general rule. although the delicate forms and blossoms cannot stand the strain of daily downpours much longer. The continued showers would make ths plant throw off considerable forms.
 The week was generally unsatisfac- tory in Louisiana. Cotton is rank with weeds and grass, weather not permit-I ting farmers to keep up with their field work. Vim Parish.

 St. Petersburg, July 22--An imperial manifesto issued tonight which Is re- garded as threat and an appeal to tho Emperor's millions of mujiks to join in suppressing the revolution under promise of land. summons 'sThe faith full sons of Holy Russia" Many iib- erals consider this a direct indictment of the Black Hundreds.
 Tn spite of the excitement the day passed with comparative quiet in the capital and street rioting only began with the advent of darkness, but the collisions generally were on a small scale
 At Sandovia crowds with stones had the gendarmes and police on the run when a squadron of Cossacks came to the rescue and charged and dlspersed them with their whips.
 About midnight there were rumors of heavier fighting at the Narva Gate. where the massacre of the followers of Father Gapon took place eighteen months ago. The troops there are it is reported there were a number of casualties
 Tonight stories were industriousIv spread that the emperor's f1nal decis. ion to dissolve Parliament was not taken until he had communicated with Berlin. According to one story a mem Der of the German Embassy went to the telegraph office Saturday night and engaged a wire for direct communica. tion with Emperor William and only after receiving and transmitting a 1000 word dispatch from Emperor William to Emperor Nicholas was the ukase finally signed, The inference intended to be dtawn is that Emperor William is Emperor Nicholas's evil genius and false adviser.
 The trouble with the story Is that the sovereigns would not be forced tc resort to such roundabout methods oi communication as direct wires arc available to Peterhof. Besides. tht story is traceable to sources which usually seek to make Emperor William responsible for all of Europe's Ills. The status of the council of the em. pire seems to be in doubt Neither the ukase nor manifesto mentions it. but whether this was by design or over. sight has not yet been cleared up.

Foreigners in Mexico Are in No Dah-
 ger of Attack.
 Mexico City. July 22.--The denial of stories of a plot of labor leaders and agitators against foreigners in this country is officially. made. The matter has been investigated carefully by the government for several weeks and in- formation gathered shows that the ru- mors emanated from ignorant and cas- fly led parties who had listened to the anti-foreigner declarations of agItators now safely hidden somewhere in Cam ada, after having published a newspa- per of a seditious character in St. Louis designed for circulation in this coun- try,
 The government denies that there is any peril to foreigners of whatever nationality.
 Apparently agitators have been en- deavoring to embitter the relations of the United States and Mexico, hoping if trouble arose to profit, but all in- formed and intelligent Mexicans re- gard these attempts destined to entire failure. The relations of the two gov- ernments were never more cordial than at present.

 It is declared that labor makes no demand upon government or society which is not equally accorded to all the people of this country. and that Tt can and will be satisfied with nothing e.sev
 Cause of the Campaign.
 The proposed campaign is based up- on allegation that little attention has been paid to the enactment of laws prepared by organized labor and presented to Congress for the relief of those wrongs and the attainment of those rights which labor and the com mon people are justly entitled and which are essentially necessary for their welfare"

considerabIe Damage Done by the Pre-
 capffaffon.


 Memphis Tenn. July 22.--The Comr merciaI-Appears weekly summary of crop conditions covering the Central States of the cotton belt is as foiiowss
 By reason of the rains, which hays been excessive and continued through out the week, the reports are less uai- form than heretofore. In some secs tions considerable damage has been. done by the heavy precipitation. Thls Is especially true of the bottom lands of North Alabama and In parts of Mis- sissippi and Arkansas. where some ac- tuai overflow took place. On other bottom lands the lack of easy drainage has brought on some signs of blight. Over a very large section of the four States of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan- sas and Tennessee, however. the rain- fall was of the greatest beneht, even though continued longer than was nee essary.
 The plant through the area reported upon has made a rapid growth being. favored by the moist, hot weather. but most correspondents note at the same time that the plant Is fruiting well also and that 1t is most healthy in appear ance. Some anticipatory fears have been aroused by reason of the excess of rain, but the actual damage report ed Is small
 In many sections cultivation has been about completed, though no great pros gross In this respect was made dueing the week. In other sections the grasa is beginning to attract some notice. It Is generally stated that few bright. dry days will allow of the completion of cultivation. but in some sections the size attained by the plant and the prev- alencc of bolls has rendered any fur ther cultivation undesirable.
 The absence of any general tendency to rust, blight or shedding is notable
