-------------------- .-E-----------1---.----- IN DARKEST RUSSIA.

The world cannot get into pro- found sympathy with the oppressed when the oppressed are themselves the oppressors. The persecution of the Jews has too much countenance, and even too much cooperation, throughout Russia as nation to be laid to one tyrannical class. It is essentially national crime, the manifestation of a hideous national disorder, and so long as 1t continues, the masses of Russia must have much less sympathy from the world at large than they might be expected to have in their struggles with 8 despotic government.
 There is something so appalling about the deliberation, the atrocity and the frequency of these mas sacres of Jews as to make it wholly anarchistc. It is like the recur- renee of medieval fanaticism. And when these massacres occur, the world may look on with horror. but it cannot but feel that as a na- tion Russia is suffering from evils almost distinctively inherent, and that it is passing through processes of development that have become ancient history in other countries of similar opportunities.

HARTJE DIVORCE CASE
All the Evidence in and the Arguments of Attorneys Set for Next
 Monday.


 Pittsburg, Aug. 3.-After 21h days of actual court sessions the Hartje divorce case terminated rather sud denly Thursday. Skilfully the attor- neys for both sides fenced for adyant- age over the argument but with the consent of the attorneys and at the suggestion of Judge Robert s. Fraze- they were set for next Monday morn Ing.
 Judge Frazer announced before the close that the case must to be sub mitted to him by Wednesday evening as he intended to leave for his vaca. ton next Thursday.
 Immediately after the case was con cluded Mrs. Hartje was surrounded by group of friends who shook her hands and congratulated, her on the manner in which she held up under the severe strain. Augustus Hartjc sat in his chair watching his wifi. closely. He too showed relief but said nothing. The attorneys for both MT and Mrs. Hartje expressed themselves as entirely satisfied with the case as it now stands and each side is coni- dent that the decision of the court will be in its favor.

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

One of the most convincing evi- dences of substantial growth and
 continued prosperity in Mena and
 Polk county, is the fact, as recently
 learned by the Star, that though three new mercantile establishments
 have located here during the last
 year and all have built up good
 business, the older establishments in the same line have had substantial increase and are all expanding and enlarging their facilities for trade. Among these. the Lochridge Dry
 Goods Company reports that its
 record of sales for the first seven months of this year are p per cent greater than for the same period of last year. Postmaster Board also informs us that the postal receipts for the first six months of this year
 are nearly 20 per cent greater than for the first six months of 1905.
 These facts taken together pre- sent unmistakable evidence that the
 town and country surrounding are increasing in population and wealth
 of a substantial nature.

TOM JOHNSON SET RIGHT.
Statement that He Was Financially Inter- ested in Cleveland Street Rail-
 way Untrue.

Cleveland, Aug. 3.--In the dispatches handled by the Associated press on July 25, in describing the controversy now proceeding over the street rail- way situation in this city, the state- ment was made that the railway line of the Cleveland Electric Railway company on Fulton street, was torn up by men acting under the orders of Mayor Tom L. Johnson and that this action was owing to the pending controversy in behalf of the Forest City Railway, three-cent fare line, and which under certain conditions, can come under the ownership and control of the municipality. In addi- ion to relating the facts as to the tearing up of the rails of the Cleve- land Electric Railway company, the additional statement was made that Mayor Johnson was credited with be- ing largely interested in the Munci- pal Traction company" This state- ment was unwarranted, is believed to be entirely untrue if in its reading t tended to create the impression that Mayor Johnson had any financial ln- terest whatever in the Forest City company and Is contrary to every pub lie statement made by that official. he having specifically anticipated by pub lie announcement any such posslbii- ity. That he has been interested in the success of the company, as an ultimate municipal ownership propo- sition, but primarily to secure lower fare. he has openly proclaimed.
 The Associated press therefore de- sires to disclaim any knowledge or motive other than this public inter- est and to disavow any other sugges- tion in making the statement tele- graphed.

Sweet Mena.

Frances Imoe. I've reached the land of frait and wine, And all it's wealth and beauty mine, My heart is light my spirit gay, My sojourn here one happy day.
 CHORUS. Oh Mena, Say, Sweet Mena, Say, My heart is with thee night and day, And when from thee I'm forced to stray do not live, only stay, But now all care I've laid away, For l am with thee night and day. A radiant morn a glorious sun, A dewey eve when day is done, A starry night and evening stroll, Each brings contentment to my soul.
 CHo I wandered through the forest grand That clothe this mountain fairy land, In balmy air, OCT wooded height, Through village fair by waters bright. When to thy highest mount roam Out under heavens azure dome, Thy fragrant breeze from southern seas Brings health and vigor unto me.
 CHO- Oh would it were my lot to dwell ForevermOre within the dell, No more I'd rove ne'er would stray For am with Sweet Mena Say.

THE COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS

The indebtedness of Polk county July 1, 1904, was $31774.61. The indebtedness July 1, 1906, was $159O1 AZ showing substantial de- crease.
 Judge Prickett took charge of county affairs November 1, 1904 and has reduced the indebtedness of the county in twenty months, $15873. .19, and scrip has risen from 25 cents to 80 cents on the dollar.
 It looks as though Judge Prickett intends to do what he said he would in his last campaign, that is, in two terms he would get the county out of debt and make scrip worth 100 cents on the dollar. This splendid record has been made in the face of the extraordinary expenses of the circuit court in several murder trials and others nearly as expensive, as well as the purchase of poor farm which is paid for and reasonably worth $2O00

A CALL FOR HEARST.
Inc Independent LenEue Asks Thns He Become Candidate for Gov
 ernOr Of New York.

New York, Aug 1.-The state con- mittee of the Independence League. a new political organization in this state, met here Tuesday, effected per nanent organization, adopted decla- ration of principles, decided to hold the state convention in this city Sep tember II, and sent the following tel egram to William Randolph Hearst who is in California:
 "The people of the state of New York, represented in the state com mittee of the Independence League ap- preciate your great service to the cause of the plain people and your splendid efforts to compel the crim- inal trusts to obey the law, and recog- nize in you the leader under whom the control of their government must be restored to the people. To this end we pledge you our earnest and loyal support and insist that you shall serve the people as their candidate for gov ernor in the coming contest"
 Tn the declaration of principles 1t is set forth that "the time is ripe for the people of New York to reassert their rights, to recover their liber- ties, renew their independence and restore government based on the bal lot and conducted in the interest or majority"

MISERABLE BOY AND STATES
 TAN

If Colonel Bryan had a sense of humor he would get a double quan- tity of joy out of his entertainment by Ambassador Reid.
 In 1896, on the morning after, the New York Tribune congratulated the country on the escape from anarchism, vulgarism and Organism, the three impossibles which were one. Of Bryan himself the Tribune took charitable view. He was ''the miserable Boy" the "boy ora tor" who, mean and poor as he was, was yet tool in the hands of the real leaders of the wicked assault upon the country's honor. They have bamboozled him, they have used his fluent ignorance, they have turned his crudities to account. He was a foolish nobody and now he would sink back into obscurity and never be heard from again.
 Bryan liked the editorial, for he took care to reprint it in his book, "The First Battle"
 Now he and the editor of the Tribune are hobnobbing together in dear old Lunnon. It is safe to say that both are surprised. On the morning after, in 1896, neither dreamed of the strange events which were to bring them together so pleasantly ten years later. Hap oily, they are both large enough to appreciate the irony of fate. And no doubt they really admire one an other for their many good personal qualities, although, of course, each knows perfectly we'll that the others political principles will ruin the country. But it must be embar- rassing to Reid when he remembers, perhaps in the middle of a compli- mentary speech, that the "distin- guished statesman" of 1896 is the same man whom he characterized as ''the miserable Boy" in 1896.

RAISING MORE RICE.
Gev. Ide Believes the Philippines Win Soon He Ablc to Export
 the Grain.

Manila. Aug. 2.-Governor Ids has received reports stating that during the fiscal year ending on June 30. the importations of rice to the Philip pines decreased 61,072.411 pounds valued at s3.0S4,1S3 in gold. Com menting on the reports Governor Ide says:
 From these reports 1t appears that the number of pounds of rice i'm ported into the Philippines during the fiscal year of 1906, was something less than three-sevenths of the i'm portations in 1901, and the sum sent out from the islands for rice was less than -elevenths of the sum sent in 1894. If the same ratio of decrease continues for year of even a semester. no more rice will be i'm ported, and in two years the islands besides supplying the home demand ought to be exporting rice"
 The publication of the report has caused controversy. The local ship. pers contend that the decrease of i'm portations Is result of the poverty of the people, who, 1t is alleged. are not buying rice, but are living on yams and other food. The shippers declare that the Philippines will never export rice

Proper View of Poll Tax.

The town of Henrietta, N. Y :, takes a proper view of the poll tax and the duty of its collection. Two citizens there who declined to pay their S1 poll tax were ar rested and sentenced to jail for sixty days. Declaring at first that they would rot in jail before they would pay cent, the two finally settled for the tax and costs by paying Sl0. $ and Sl1.55, respectively. That is good example for easygoing Massa- chusetts. FIX.

His Position.

He was an honest candidate Who loved the sons of toll, And as he drove his blow they thought His heart was in the soil. Right merrily he cried, Gee! Haww And cracked his whip with mirth, While all the neighbors marked with
 pride
 His eyes for mother earth. The statesmen spoke of politics, He waved his horny hand, With praise of crops and harvest yield, His tongue extolled the land. Election day then came and went While saddened voters found His only really farmer part His ear was to the ground.

A REFORM THAT rIUST SPREAD

The independent Republicans of New Hampshire have presented Mir. Winston Churchill as a candidate for governor, on a platform declaring against the interference of corpora tions with politics and government. The issue thus defined is the leading issue in New Hampshire, no matter whether Mir. Churchill secures the nomination or not. In his formal acceptance of the offer to make him a candidate, Mir. Churchill yesterday said:
 In my opinion this Is not only the greatest issue in New Hampshire, but the most important issue in the United States. It is going to win eventually all over the United States and largely because one man had the magnificent courage and foresight to get up and lead Americans in this second war for independence, and that man was Theodore Roosevelt" !"
 The same issue has been dominant in other states. It manifested itself strongly and fruitfully in the last session of Congress. It is the lead ing issue in Kansas at this time Men who are working for this re form may take inspiration iron young Churchill, who sees that it i. the leading issue of the country They may also take hope in the fac that it is the kind of issue that zoe on and on until it works itself out il the right way.

Keep
 Your Nerve

It is nerve energy that runs the organs of your body. The storage battery is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. To keep the body healthy you must have plenty of nerve force; 1t you have not, the organs work imperfectly, the circulation IS sluggish, digestion bad, appe- tite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty.
 You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles Nervine. It assists in generating nerve energy; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole system strong and vigorous.
 q take pleasure in recommending Dr. Niles Nervine to those suffering from nervous prostration, insomnia. and melancholy. After several months suffering from above diseases I tried this medicine and found imme- diate relief. 1t soothes and strength cns the nerves, chaseS away the gloomy and depressing thoughts and gives the sufferer renewed strength and hope. It is a superb nerve re- storer."

 Washington, Aug. 3.-'President Roosevelt will not run again. He has passed his word to his countrymen and will keep it. He is opposed on principle to third term, and he con ceives that for him to be candidate would violate that principle. The ab- solute exclusion of President Roose- welt by his own unalterable decision will make the utmost care in the selection of our candidate necessary.
 This assertion, made deliberately by Charles Emory Smith, the we'll known Philadelphia editor, following an all-day luncheon and conference with President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, is the most significant thing that has emanated from the presidents summer home since there has been talk of third term for President Roosevelt. MT. Smith was long a member of the cabinet of President Mckinley. He has been the close per sonal friend and adviser of President Roosevelt He went to Oyster Bay tc ldlh 0FOt RViltltai SOAuAtAOAc iAs HAS state and in the nation with the pres dent, at the presidents invitation Following so close upon the state ment from Peoria, H., that the pres ident had written a personal letter te friend there, anouncing his deter imitation not to permit the use of his name before the next national repub- lican convention, 1t looks very much as though there could be no longer any question as to the eventual atti- tude of the president.
 A public man whose name has beer prominently mentioned in connection with the presidency said. relative te the situation:
 'I do not believe that the president has considered what he would do in the event of his name being offered to the next national convention and the nomination being made. Mir. Roose welt, believe, is sincere and dccs not consider such a thing possible. I believe he thinks that the great mass of the people believe what he says, and that he will not find 1t necessary to say what he has already said with any more emphasis than he has used Perhaps this about H. lutrates the situation" said this pub- lie man.
 He picked up a cartoon which rep resented Mir. Roosevelt holding aloft a child with the face of William H. Taft. Below him the people swayed in mad acclaim, while underneath was the line: "The heir apparent"
 Another close student of the polit- ical situation, and man who knows the president well, expresses this be- lief:
 If the convention should name MT. Roosevelt as it's choice, he is just the sort of a man who would refuse the tender. He is big enough and strong enough to do so The night when he was elected we were sitting around at the White house. and he said with much emphasis: Its all rot about this not being my second term. served four years, with the exception of seven months, and now am elected to second term. If man can not do what he sets out to do as president In two terms he confesses his im- potency. No man should have more than two terms, and I am just elected to my second term The president made the statement with much em- phasis and meant it."
