chatka Trading Company. a mile from the
mouth of the river Vorovskaia. and found
Ave Japanese fishing ~schooners there,
their crews being encamped across the
river, with stores Of -four and rice and
about $4,000 sailed fish.
Sotnikof confscated two nets and the
fiour and rice and demanded the payment
OF a fine of 1000 rubles. The leader of
the Japanese, a physician of the name Of
Sakhi, who formerly was a prisoner Of
war at Vadivostok, approached Sotnikoff
and asked him whether he intended to re-
lease the schooner. Sotnikoff replied
that probably they would be detained.
Thereupon Sakhi fatally stabbed Sotn ikotf
and the Japanese rushed upon the twelve
K~amchatkans and killed them all with
knives and clubs.
The report is forwarded by the civil chief
OF the Vorovskaia district and ia published
only now. though the tragedy occurred

lyn financier, died yesterday of pneumonia

directors.

Brooklyn Trust Company and was the
survivor of the original twelve trustees.
He once gave 800 900 TO the institution to
prevent the threatened impairment OF the
capital and also loaned the company his
Government bonds. Three years ago the
company presented to him a loving cup
as a token of its appreciation OF his long
devotion to its interests. He was a di-
rector in the Brooklyn City Hospital, n

Home, a charter member OF the original
Academy OF MUSIC, a trustee OF the Long
Island Historical Society, for more than
fifty years a trustee of the Polytechnic

His Own Wedding.

In writing up an account of his mar
riage to Miss Gertrude White the other
day, Albert L. Headley of the Gaylord
Uowa) Sentinel said:
"This is the first instance in several
years of newspaper work that the
writer has dared tell the truth about a
wedding for fear of getting licked, and
does SO now with keen relish. The
groom is an editor and is not popular
accomplished leader in society; in fact,
he doesn't know as much about it as
rabbit. His hair is red and the freckles
on his face crowd each other for room.
In the dusk it is hard to distinguish
him from a telephone polo. He has
never considered that the future looked
very bright and promising-lt has al
ways kept him too busy paying his
board bills to have any dreams about
future greatness. He is just common
sort of fellow and claims distinction
only in that he is Kansan from the
sole of his clumsy feet to the top of his
head. The bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. ]. White and was
born and raised in the Solomon valley.
Judging from the job she has taken on
her hands she is a young lady Of more
than ordinary nerve"

Peculiar Ice plant-New Nay to
Freeze 1t.

w. Nj. Eaton, of Emmerson, Iowa, who
is in the elevator business there, also
owns an ice plant which is a decided
novelty, and promises to be a complete
success when improved upon somewhat.
The water it frozen in 200 tanks or pans
as they really are, twelve inches deep,
two feet wide and three feet long.
They rest on planks in order that the
cold air may circulate freely on all four
sides of the pans. The cakes Of ice
secured from the pans weigh trifle
over 800 pounds. The original cost for
the pans alone was $500.
The plan is simple one, but in mild
winter like the present, not entirely
successful, although Mr.. Eaton has sue
ceeded in storing away from his process,
a total of ninety tons at a cost of about
30 cents per ton. With the pans in
place, the owner places about three
inches of water in them. This is added
to from time to time or as it congeals.
To completely fill the pans Mr.. Eaton
discovered from experience, subjected
them to danger Of bursting. canvas
is spread over the cans to prevent any
accumulation of dust and a frame roof
covers the entire plant. The roof
he found necessary to shield the cans
from the warm sun during the day.
Mr.. Eaton is already satisfied that the
plan is practical one and that a better
quality of ice at less cost than when
taken from reservoir, can be secured.
He has his ice house located near the
freezing plant and the expense Of stor-
ing is merely nominal. His estimate on
the cost of this years produce is 30
cents per ton and he says that with a
few minor improvements which he will
add another season, he believes the
cost will not be over 20 cents per ton,
as against about so cents in the ordi-
nary way.

Is owned by L. ]. Brown, of New York.
1t Is colt, healthy and full of life,
which has eight natural feet, the small
or extra ones being as perfectly formed
in the least with their use. The colt is
now about nine months old and as
healthy and can eat as much as any

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

The activity that is already stirring
in the congressional districts in all
parts of the country seems to indicate
that this years contest for control of
the sixtieth congress is going to be one
of the keenest in the recent history Of
American politics. The beaten and
disunited democracy is recognizing on
the principles of Washington, Jefferson
and Jackson, and will make vigorous
fight all along the line to recover it's
lost prestige and power. There is
every reason to hope that it's efforts
will reverse the landslide of 1904, elect
a majority Of the house Of representa-
tives, and sharply reduce the almost
two-thirds majority by which the re-
publicans hold the senate.
The present session of congress has
already gone far enough TO make it
plain that the sum of it's Legislation
will disappoint the country.
Instead of the popular measures that
were expected from the great republic
can majorities, the outcome is the usual
grist of machine legislation put through
under the dictation of party bosses,
while free thought and honest efforts
to serve their constituents have been
suppressed among a large element of
the republican membership by gag rules
or executive persuasion. The republic
can congress has turned deaf ear
to every appeal of the middle west for
evil conditions which has been steadily
growing worse during the last nine
years of undisputed republican
supremacy in the national government.
The republican congress bids us wait,
and keep on waiting, for the better
ments of navigation which the increas-
ing manufacturing and agricultural
productions of the valley more urgently
require every year. Instead of the
modern staff revision and reciprocity
which are deemed essential to the per-
manency Of certain of our foreign
markets the republican president and
the republican house have had nothing
better to offer than the little Philippine
bill, whose only effect, if it's effect
should be perceptible at all, would be
to admit foreign raw material in compe
tition with western and southern in
dustries.
Even the freight rates bill, the chief
administration measure of the session,
will be passed by democratic votes, if
passed at all. The only votes against
it in the house were cast by republican
members, and it has not enough re-
publican friends in the senate to win
success for it there.
Failure and popular disappointment
are already writ large upon the re-
publican record in the first session OF
the fifty-ninth congress- Blind and
deaf to the warnings given at the polls
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York
in the November elections, the republi-
cans doggedly go foreward in the old
lines of suppression, boss dictation and
subordination of the public welfare to
special interests.
The people are clearly disappointed
at the use made by the republican party
of the vast powers intrusted to it in
the elections of 1904.
The year 1906 brings in times whirli-
gig Of opportunity for the democrats
