REVOLT MARCHES OK.
Reverses at Sveaborg ard Crcnstaat
Not Fatal.

|
Although the mutinies at SveaeorS
have been ended and the one at cron-
stadt has been practically put down
the outlook is still black. The revoiu-
tionists, whose hands were suddenly
forced by the premature rising at
Sveaborg, apparently are undaunted
at these initial reverses and intend to
persist in their program of calling q
general strike.
One of the leaders of the revolu-
tionists with whom the Associated
Press spoke Thursday night boasted
that the word had gone forth and that
the fire of the revolt would spread
to the corners of the empire.
His closing words to the corre-
spondent were: Now watch Reval.
Riga and Libau."
The news of the mutiny on board
the cruiser Pamyat AZova off the
Esthonian coast is fraught with enor-
nous possibilities. The crew of this
vessel rose and killed the commander
and four officers.
Ambassador Meyer has received a
dispatch from the American consul at
Reval saying that the Pamyat Azova
entered that port with the red flag at
her masthead. Should this cruiser,
under the flat Of the mutineers. sail to
the northwar,l and appear in the pres
ence of1the main squadron in the Gulf
of Finland the loyalty of the crews OF
these vessels would perhaps be put
to a stronger test than they could
stand. Although the admiralty asserts
that the squadron off Sveaborg did not
waver i'm it's allegiance, there is some
thing mysterious about the reports Of
the actions of the ships which war
rants the suspicion that all is not
right aboard. Only two ships fired on
the mutineers, the others remaining
on the horizon as il the admiral were
not sure that they could be depended
upon.
When the firing began at Cronstadt
Wednesday night there ensued wild
panic in the imperial palace at Peter
hof, as the palace lies under the guns
of the fortress. All preparations had
been made in advance to flee to Tsar-
skoi Selo. but the report that the czar
and his family had fed in the middle
of the night was denied. 1t was ex-
planned that on account, Of damp
ness" at Peterhof arrangements had
been made for the return of the impe-
rial family at Tsarskoi Selo.

Danger from Prairie Fires-Great
Precautions Necessary i'm New Parts

County Swept by the Flames

Owing TO the rank growth OF veg

Hundreds of these people never saw
a prairie fire and do not know now
easy one is started and what hard
work IL Is to stop one when ii begins
In earnest to sweep over the PLAIN. In
view of this the newspapers puplsned
in the new towns along the extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and 81.
Paul and the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railroads are issuing warnings 10
the new settlers and advising each or
them to plow good firebreaks around
their property.
Already a limited area in Gregory
County has been swept by prairie
fire this summer, and another fire OF
the same kind is reported from the
vicinity of Grindstone, in the interior
of the ceded Sioux lands between the
Missouri River and the Black Hills. 1t
was started by homesteader who
permitted back fire to get beyond his
control
The fire swept over two sections OF
land, and II required over three hours
of the hardest kind of fighting for
small army of men, who were hastily
summoned to the scene, before 1t was
extinguished.

The Revolt Is Assuming Alarming
Proportions.
Advices were received by the En-
press of Japan in Victoria. B. c..
Thursday that the rising in Kingai and
Chekiang provinces is becoming a
grave movement, and many believe
the rising will assume similar proper
tions to the TAPPING rebellion. Hsin-
chenghsien Chekaing, a large walled
city, was captured by the rebels, loot
ed and garrison of 5000 left to pre-
pare the city to Withstand a siege by
imperial troops. Several corps of inn
perial troops have been dispatched.
Magistrate Shem, of Hsincheng. was
put to death, being tortured in re-
venge for having summarily beheaded
a rebel leader. 1t was this act which
caused the rebels to gather at Sunge-
then to attack the city. The Roman
Catholic and Protestant churches were
destroyed and, although the rative
pastors escaped, six converts were
murdered.

Theft OF $1,000 i'm Books Traced to
Teacher


A shortage of 200 volumes dealing
with southern history was discovered
at the state historical library at Madi-
son, Wis, Thursday during the taking
Of an inventory by DR.. r. G. Thwaites
secretary of the State Historical So
ciety. Some of the volumes long since
went out of print and are valued at
$25 each.
The theft has been traced to Miss
Jennie p. Morrill,, southern beauty
from Atlanta. Ca, who took post
graduate work at the University Of
Wisconsin to prepare herself to teach
history in the south. A casual remark
to girl friend that she was storing
the books led to the discovery of the
lost property in warehouse.
1t Is estimated that the books are
worth $1,000 to the state university.

More than likely you speak the same

far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some derangement-o the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache.
bcaring-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Il. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
