MORE TROOPS
Sent to the Caucasus to
QueIl the Disturbances.
Even the Cossacks are
BeginnIngto Rebel.

st. Petersburg, July 15.-With the
expected announcement of the retire
ment of the old cabinet and the make
up of the new again deferred matters
in the Russian empire are becoming
more and more critical and even the
official classes that have heretofore
declared that there was no danger Of
any general uprising, are constrained
to admit now that further continuance
of the present state of uncertainty
must have a most dangerous effect.
Strikes are spreading everywhere and
the discontented workingmen are
numbering and pillaging while even
the Cossacks, who have heretofore
been loyal to the crows. are declared
to have served notice on their officers
in many instances that they will no
longer act as police.
In the Caucasus state of warfare
exists and in several instances the
Cossacks have been defeated by the
peasants after desperate fighting in
which both sides sustained heavy
losses. So serious are conditions here
that urgent appeals for more troops
have been sent by the governor 70
the authorities at st. Petersburg, but
in every instance it has been neces-
sary to send word that no Cossacks
could be spared for service there.
At Saratoff there has been practi-
cally continuous series of fights be-
tween the peasants and the troops in
which the latter have lost heavily.
Because of the fierceness of the at
tacks by the rioters "dum dunn" bull
lets have been served out by the Off
GERS and are being used by the troops
During the fighting it is estimated
20 soldiers have been killed and twice
that number wounded, while the loss
to the rioters is declared to be three
times these figures.
At Sebastopol the gunners in the
fortress tried unsuccessfully to Sc
cure possession of the ammunition
chamber, intending if they had sue
ceeded to turn the guns of the garri-
son on their officers. The plot fail

ficers were afraid to attempt to make
them prisoners as the loyalty Of the
remaining troops in the garrison is
seriously questioned.
At Warsaw there has as yet been
no open outbreak, but the flight of
the Jews from the city continues. The
police on guard have been reinforced
by strong detachments. All persons
are kept off the streets at night, while
crowds are prohibited gathering on
thoroughfares.
At Odessa and Moscow there have
been a number of clashes between
the troops and the strikers, but de-
tails are lacking. 1t is understood,
however, that there were no fatalities,

MADE $4,000
On $500 Investment in Ice Business
Now Worth $4o0, 0,o0o.-Interesting
Testimony at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 15.-The
most sensational testimony yet
brought out at the hearing being held
before Commissioner Flourney, the
object of. which is to ascertain if an
ice trust exists in Kansas City, was
that given by w. f. Lyons.
Mr.. Lyons was formerly state SEN
ator and before organization of the
Central Ice Company, of which he is
now president practised law in Kan
sis City.
Mr. Lyons testified that he started
in the ice business in 1900 with two
wagons. The following year he in
vested 5000 and made a profit of $45,
900. He now owns plant in this
city worth 100000.
Mr.. Lyons admitted that Harry L.
Burk, secretary of the Peoples Ice
company dictates prices to consumers
in Kansas City. He was positive,
however, that there is no secret agree
ment among the ice dealers. He de-
clared that, should the Peoples Ice
company advance its price 81 a ton
tomorrow, he would follow their lead.
On cross-examination Mr.. Lyons
said there is no agreement among the
ice dealers of this city whereby the
output is to be limited and the prices
uniform. When one company raises
the price of its staple. the others fol-
low because it means more money to
them.
Since the inquiry began ice dealers
have sworn that money can be made
on ice at $3.50 ton, although the
present price to small consumers is
$40 per ton.

Now Earning Enough to Take Care
of Its Heavy Interest Rate.
Cincinnati, July 15.-Judge Judson
Harmon, receiver for the G. H. & d.
and Pierre Marquette railroad, says
that the properties are now earning
sufficient to take care of the very
heavy monthly interest on its out
standing obligations and that its earn
ings are on the increase.
When asked what would be done
toward paying off the obligations in
Cured prior to the reeeivership, and
whether these debts could be paid
out of the earnings, Judge Harmon
said:
Il do not think the debts prior to
the receivership can be paid out OF
the earnings. They will probably be
paid under some arrangement made
when reorganization takes place
When the reorganization will occur
or what it will consist of remains to
be seen. have no knowledge on this
subject.

WABASH TO BUILD
To the Ohio River and Tap Important
Coal Fields.

Lorain, July 15-Jos. Ramsey, the
Pittsburg railroad magnate, announces
the consolidation OF the Industrial and
the Lorain G Ashland railroads, and
his decision to begin the construction
of $5,OO0.0O0 extension south to the
Ohio river.
The consolidated line will be known
as the Lorain, Ashland & Southern,
and actual construction will begin in
August. 1t will have capitalization
of $3,000,000, with bond issue of the
same amount. The bonds will run 40
years and bear per cent interest.
The Industrial railroad is an inn
portant terminal road In Lorain,
which gives direct connection with the
works of the National Tube company
and with the ore docks. The Lorain
& Ashlard is now being built by the
West Virginia & Ohio Construction
company. 1t is to be four miles
shorter than the w. & L. e. branch to
Lorain, and has better grade.
The new extension south will be 55
miles shorter than any present line
from Lake Erie to the Ohio river. II
will touch Mansfield and will make
connections at the Ohio river with the
Tidewater railroad, being built by H
II. Rogers, of the Standard.
The terminus will be such that
line to the ConnellsVille coke region
through Green county will be possible
and the rich coal regions in southern
Ohio will be touched.
The new line will cross and connect
with nearly every important railroad
in Ohio; the Nickel Plate at Lorain
the Lake Shore at Oberlin, the Erie
at Ashland, and the Big -Four at Wei
lington. Connections with the B.
o. will be established at Lorain.

HAS DECREASED
Ratio of Persons in Aims Houses Not
So Great Although 10000 Re-
ceived Aid in 1904.

Washington, July 15.-The census
bureau in a bulletin reports that al
though 163,176 persons were in aims
houses during the whole or part of the
year 1904, the ratio of these paupers
to population has decreased 1t was
1872 per hundred thousand of popu-
lation in 1880. The proportion OF
paupers appears to be much smaller
among the native whites of foreign
parentage that it is among the foreign
born whites.
OF the total paupers in aims houses
nearly two-thirds were mentally or
physically defective; more than three
fourths old enough to work were in
capacitated and of the aggregate
1O.5 per cent. died during the year
OF this number more than two-thirds
were at least so years of age.

4Creston, Jan. 2.-There was pub

held under circumstances and condi-
tons that rarely transpire in any
community.
About two weeks ago one Charles
Hughes was arrested and plead guilty
of taxing one Of Frank Wilson's hogs.
This brought other matters to the sur
face and one party went after him for
hay he had taken which he promptly
settled for. About this time the neigh
bors set time to meet and go in on
him and give him a reasonable time to
leave the country.
When j. 7. Mccarthy, whose place he
is on, and who had not yet received
all of his rent, drove out to see him
Hughes decided to give Mccarthy a
power of attorney to sell his personal
property and he would skip. Hughes
stayed around the place until the
morning of the sale, when he took to

In spite of all the pilfering he has
done, in spite of all the keys that have
been turned against him, it was a sad
sight to see his stock, farm machinery
and some old household goods put up
and. sold to the highest bidder when
at the same time he was flying, no one
knows where, perhaps to get out of the
reach of the grand jury which will
meet soon.
