Agrarians in Revolt.

Southwestern Russia is once
more in the throes of an agrarian
uprising. From the Black Sea to
the western boundary, the peas
ants are in revolt and are vesting
their anger on landlords and es-
tate holders. Thousands of troops
are being hurried into the pro-
vinces of Kherson, Kief, Podolia
and Bessarbia.
Clashes between the peasants
and the forces now in the district
have occurred at several points,
in most of which the troops have
been worsted. Pillaging and con-
flagrations have marked the
progress of the uprising. Scores
of landlords have been left home
less, after being deprived of all
their possessions. Most of them
were warned not to return to the
provinces under penalty of death,
Bands OF peasants armed with
scythes, pitchforks, clubs and
other weapons are marching
through the affected districts at
tacking estates. Several lives
have been lost. Cattle and stock
have been butchered or mutilated
by the peasants.
In the government of Perm on
the Siberian border, a similar
condition of affairs exists.

Notes Electrical.

Are there any more printing
presses in Yellow river?
The question of the lepers is
hardly applicable: Where are
the other nine?"
The shock of the electrical
storm last night was felt from
one end of the city to the other.
We doubt very much if Mr.. S
N. Stevens voted as he shot. He
is too worthy and honorable a
citizen to do so.
1t is reported that Mr.. Snoe-
berger was having his wisdom
teeth treated by Mr.. Deeds yes
terday afternoon. They were cut
last night.
The fuse box in the storage
battery over Leonard's furni-
ture store must have blown out,
There was no current perceptible
from that source last evening.
Metsker has bad habit OF
quoting people who are absent
from the city. 1t didn't work
with Mr.. Bidwell, President OF
the Abrasive Mining and Manu-
featuring company.
Mayor Logan called the mass
meeting to order last night and
then attempted to throttle the
sentiment of the people by read
ing a very much biased report OF
the electric light committee. Each
and every city and town reported
by the committee were places in
which higher rates were paid
than in Plymouth and while there
are at least 25 cities that pay less
than Plymouth, not a single one
was mentioned. We are in a po-
sition to know that the proposed
Snoeberger franchise was prepar-
ed by the mayor and not by the
city attorney as it should have
been. How well the mayor
guarded the city's interest was
best shown by the franchise itself
and by his attitude last evening.

A Fair Sized One.

The Abrasive Works, the Cliz-
be factory, the Novelty Works,
the Keller & Jeffirs factory and
others advise the closing of a
contract Immediately for electric
ligh. in order that electric power
may be furnished. George II.
Thayer and A. r. Clize say that
it is important for Plymouth that
speedy action be taken.-Inde-
pendent.
This is about as near as Nets
ker ever gets to the truth. The
Plymouth Novelty Mfg. Com
pany of which the Hon. George
H. Thayer, Jr., is secretary, uses
a 100 H. P. steam engine and
have a so light incandescent dy-
namo from which they light their
factory when in need of light.
They could not possibly afford to
discard this power for electric
besides Mr.. Thayer left Ply
mouth on the morning of June 26
and the franchise was published
for the first time on Tuesday,
June 25 the evening before and
as he is not expected home until
July 18th he could not possibly
have advised the closing of a
contract Immediately for electric
light" This is just another one
of Metsker's pipe Dreams

Slate Hitchcock for Party Leader

fOlltlcal WaShingtcn IS much
exercised over report that has
been circulated there that Frank
II. Hitchcock, first assistant post
master general, has been slated
by the administration forces for
the place of chairman of the Re-
publican national comittee.
The committee will meet there
in December to select time and
place for the Republican national
convention of 1908. When George
B. Cortelyou resigned from the
national chairmanship and Harry
S. New of indianapolis became
acting chairman, it was assumed
that the latter would serve in that
capacity until the next conven-
tion had met and adjourned.
According to report admins
ration wants to place Mr.. Hitch
cock at the head of the party or
ganization. Whether Mr.. New
will consent to such an arrange
ment, or whether he has been ap-
prised of it, is not known.

Americans Fear British Law.

A number of Americans in
London, particularly those of the
wealthy sort, who were at first in
clined to ignore the new regis
tration act, have now come to
the conclusion that perhaps it
would be wise for them to go TO
the consulates and inscribe their
names. They did not come to
this conclusion by virtue of patri-
otic sentiment, but from wholly
material considerations. After
consulting lawyers they learned
that if their status as Americans
was not clear England might,
for the purposes of taxation, re-
gard them purely as British SUBJ
jects and enforce her death duties
not only on their English but on
American holdings also. Many of
them think that as registration
costs nothing it will be a safe and
cheap mean of avoiding such con-
tingency, particularly as their
holdings are in the United States.

Next Russian Duma to Share
Fate of its Predecessors.

The trend of events in Rus
sia is rapidly growing in interest
1t is now possible to expose the
plans of the court party which is
again in full control of the politi-
situation.
1t is fully expected the next
duma will also represent popular
demands for important reforms,
and should it do so it will be dis
solved promptly, and then the
emperor will issue a decree say
ing he has tried three times to
call the nation to his assistance,
but, having failed, he sees the
empire is not ready for that form
of government, and will, there
fore, patiently await the proper
moment at some future day.
The revolutionary movement
has become most active through
out the country, but most of the
news of its development is being
suppressed successfully. Some
particulars learned from unoffl-
cial sources have been sufficient
to alarm the police, which have
been enormously strengthened
and reorganized in the last year.
In a little town of Novgorod
province the police learned of
revolutionary assembly, holding
meeting in a house. The police
surrounded it and demanded the
surrender of the people in the
house, and were answered by
bullets, which wounded two po-
licemen. The police then set fire
to the house.
Some of the revoluticnaries
tried to escape through the
flames and were arrested. but the
majority remained in the house
and perished, singing revolutin-
ary songs all the while.
The Russian newspaper, Rod
ma Dielo, reproduces from the or
iginal a curious deed of transfer
which may help toward the reali-
zation of the mental condition of
the Russian peasantry. An ex-
deputy for a district of Taurida
province sent the original to the
newspaper.
The document runs:
II, the undersigned, Nicolai
Nicephorovitch, peasant, aged 80,
of Dogmarovski, district of Mel
itopol, have fallen upon evil days
and at the end of my resources
hereby have sold for the sum of
90 rubics, my eternal salvation
and place in the kingdom of heav-
en- to Makar Selenky"
The signature is attested by an
elder of the village council.

lieve enough in the wisdom of the
people in electing officers of in
tegrity, business ability and patri-
otic spirit to absolutely insure a
success in these ventures if any
private company can make them
a success. The most serious OBJ
lection that can ever be urged
against it is that in large cities,
where the public servants of the
people, the officers elected by
them, are not personally well
known to every voter, there is a
tendency to extravaganza and
graft, but in the smaller cities
this is minimized and scarcely if
ever exists, and experiment has
demonstrated that with honest
officials ownership of these util-
tiles succeeds to the extent that
rates in the end are more reason
able and service as good, at least,
as in private ente rprises furnish
ing the utilities.
The chair then called for re-
marks which were responded to
by Mr.. William O'Keefe, Mr.. f.
c. Martindale, Mr.. James De-
Loney, DR.. N. B. Aspinall, Harry
CRUDE, VIM. Everly, Harry Hum
richouser, all speaking for the
resolution. M-. S. N. Stevens,
c. w. Metsker and DR.. Preston
speaking against the resolution.
The chair calling for ballot re.
suited as follows:
For the adoption of the resolu-
ton IS. against the adoption of

We could give the names of
the eight persons voting against
the resolution but deem it not for
the better.

The school authorities of New
York have had their attention
called to an invention called the
ergograph which is warranted to
determine correctly the real cause
for pupils backwardness in his
studies. When the Ounce of the
class remarks casually that two
and two make. FIVE, the horror
stricken teacher need no longer
throw the blackboard at him. In
stead he can test him by the er-
gograph, and find whether over
study or too much play is the
cause of The disaster. The new in
strument is German invention
and is said to have been tried sue
cessfully in the London schools.
The glowing reports of its sue
cess may lead to its adoption for
the schols of New York and 9TH
er American cities.
According to the description
the forearm of the child is clamp
ed to the table that holds the ap-
paratus. Then the hand is Sc
cured, only the middle finger be-
ing left free. This isoated finger
is placed in little steel box, and
the pupil fiexes the muscles as
long as he can, setting wheels
and springs at work, with the re-
suit that a suspended weight lifts
with each effort. There is an in
dicator at the back of it, whose
marks ascend from FIVE TO 300.
The child that succeeds in pres
sing the indicator to the highest
point invariably turns out to be
a bright boy in his class.
If Johnny arrives in the MORN
ing feeling so fit that he can push
the indicator up to 100, and in the
evening can get it only half SO
far, the. inference is that Johnny
needs less study and more fresh
air, or perhaps, better food and
more of it.
1t is said that the ergograpll
does not con6ne its revelations
to children. 1t is equally efficient
in dealing with adults. One of
its virtues is that it will show
whether the subject is laxy or
really incapable of much physical
endurance. The two states are
often confounded in schools. The
teacher has only to ask the ergo
graph to answer, and it will de-
eide with Illuminating impartial
itv.

convicts Plunge to Death.

By the collapse of scaffoid
on which they were standing,
Pete, Ryan and George Dolan,
convicts at the state prison at
Michigan City, were instantly
killed Wednesday. They were
whitewashing the ceiling of one
of the cell houses, and when the
scaffold gave way they plunged
headlong TO the cement floor, a
distance of fifty feet. Their heads
were crushed to pulp. Ryan
was kfe-termer, sent up from
ST. Joseph county in 1888 for
murder Dolan came from Law
renee county in May last for
grand larceny.
