RIOTS AT CHURCHES.
Catholics Resist Entrance by Officers
Of French Republic.

of French Republic.
Paris. Feb. 2. -- Everywhere in
France the actual putting into opera
tion Of the clause OF church and state
separation bill which provides for the
making of inventories OF the property
Of the churches has aroused storm OF
protest. In several provincial parishes
Catholics have gathered in the churches
and made such strong resistance that
the government commissioners were
unable to enter the edihces.
In Paris today violent scenes took
place in several churches, notably that
OF st. Clothilde. An inventory Of the
property OF the church OF ST. Roche has
not yet been made, owing to the OPP
position OF the congregation, but the
defenders OF the church OF ST, Clothilde
suecumbed before the aesault OF an
armed force which acted on the avowed
intention OF the government to use
every means at its disposal to compel
obedience 10 the enactment.
In the chamber of deputies this after
noon Premier Rouvier replied to an in.
terpellation on the subject by Social
lat deputy. The government, however,
secured vote Of confidence by 3S4
against l66, after the premier had
assured the chamber that the govern
ment was desirous OF using tact and
moderation in carrying out the law,
but that it was fully determined to per-
form it's duty, no matter what the cost.
A dispatch from Dijon says fresh dis.
turbsnces broke cut today in front OF
the church OF st. Michael. The square
was closed only after the free use Of
fire hose and the efforts OF mounted
gendarmes. Many arrests were made.

Waits for His Master.

Hello, Ribs, he amt on this train!"
Thus brakeman or baggagemaster
greets a big black and white dog
which every evening trots down to
the station In small Pennsylvania
town to meet the train on which his
master used to come home.
Ribs master has not come home on
the train for many months. He was
conductor of q train which was

has never missed a train. He stands
on the platform wagging his tail, his
tongue hanging out, an expression of
anxious hope in his eyes, waiting for
his master.
When one of the trainmen explains,
He amt on this train," the red
tongue goes slowly back into the big
mouth, the strong jaws close. the
shaggy tail drops and Ribs turns and
walks back to his kennel. But on the
following day he appears promptly
in time for his masters usual train,
and waits until some one of the pity.

FATAL TO ALL DISEASE GERMS.
Effect of Acids Of Fruits on the Hu.
man System.

An eminent Japanese bacteriologist
has shown that the acids of lemons,
apples and other fruits-citric acid,
malic acid-are capable of destroying
all kinds of disease germs. Cholera
germs are killed in fifteen minutes by
lemon juice or apple juice, and ty.
phoid fever germs are killed In half
an hour by these acids, even when
considerably diluted. If you squeeze
lemon into glass of water contain.

fifteen or twenty minutes, you may
drink the water with impunity, as the
germs will be dead; these juices will,

The New Movers.

The New movers. ..
Far away, across the wide gray
plain, appeared a tiny dot, apparently
an unimportant fixture of the land
scape. An hour earlier it might not
have been observed at all by even
lae keenest eye, and it would have
needed vet more time to assure an
observer even now that the dot was
q moving object. Presently an occa-
sional side-blown pun of dust added a
certain heraldry, and thus finally the
white-topped wagon and it's plodding
team came fully into view, crawling
ever persistently from the East to
the West.
Meantime, from the direction of the
horth, there came travelling across the
prairie another cloud of dust more
rapid than that stirred up by the slow
moving emigrant wagon. Sam, the
stage driver, was crossing on his reg
ular blackboard trip from Ellisville to
Plum Centre. and was now nearly
halfway on his journey. Obviously
the courses of these two vehicles
must intersect, and at the natural
point of this intersection the driver
of the faster pulled up and waited for
the other. Movers" were not yet SO
common in that region that the stage
driver, natural news agent, must not
pause for investigation.
The driver of the wagon, q tall,
dark man, drew rein with a grave sal
utation, his tired horses standing with
dropping heads while there took place
! one of the pregnant conversations of
the plains.
'Mornin', friend" said Sam.

tents was taken by vast white-topped
wagons, the creaking cook carts of
the cattle trail. and the van of the
less nomadic man. 1t was the BEGIN

a strange, wild movement in Ameri-
can life which carried in it's train
set of conditions as vivid and peculiar
as they were transient.
Ellisville lay at an eddy in the
Plains and gathered toll of the
strange driftwood which was then
afioat. Though the chutes at the rail-
way were busy, yet other herds of
cattle passed Ellisville and wandered
on north, crowding at the heels of

to see their own cattle to be doomed.

now reported to be three or four days

shaggy brown robes, which gave the
skin-hunters monev with which to
