RUSSIA REWsEs U 7
Takes Steps to Facilitate Movement of
Siberian Grain.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. PIN view of
the high price of grain in Russia there mas
been considerable discussion regarding the
ACCESSIBILITY of imposing am export duty,
as was don in 1891, the famine year, but
the government decided adversely, holding
that the measure adopted in 1891 merely
threw the control of the International mar
ket into American and Argentine hands.
The authorities are considering a number
Of other measures which may enable de-
pressed Russian agriculture to gain full
advantage of the present international
market conditions, while lowering the
prices OF grain in the interior. The rail-
way commission. for instance, is working
on a revision Of the tariffs with the view
of facilitating the movement of Siberian
grain to European Russia and abroad.

frightened by the national search TOT
the boy, starved him to death and then
placed the body in the marsh where 1t
was found in order to throw the otfi-
GERS off their trail. The childs body
was found in a pool of water on the
outskirts of a marsh, a third OF a mile
from the fathers home, by q hunter.
The theory of the officers is that the
lad wandered into The outskirts Of the
marsh and was unable to find his way
out, finally dying Of cold, hunger and
exhaustion. The water in which his
body was found rose and fell with each
successive rain, and the body may have
been moved many feet by the rising and
falling of the water.
But the theory Of the officers is not
accepted by thousands of people who
interested themselves in the search for
the boy. The father will never accept
any such theory, he declares. He still
firmly believes that h child was held
for some time by ~kidnapers, who be-
came alarmed at the worldwide search
for the child and allowed him to starve
to death, taking the body to the place
where it was found. He declares hun-
dreds of persons passed within a few
feet of the spot where the body was
found during the search for the missing
boy and that it would have been prac-
tically impossible for them to have
overlooked the corpse.

Porcupane. win Fight.

Literally living pin cushions and
filled with porcupine quils from their
ankles to their thighs, Burt Seavey and
Cullen Jorden, of Scarboro, were taken
to a Portland physician tonight for
treatment after a battle with two giant
"Maine hedgehogs," which they had en-
countered in a wood road while return
ing from work this afternoon. The
physician plucked more than t~hirty-ive
quilts from the legs of each man, but
no serious results are expected, unless
blood poisoning sets in.
As oon as the two young farmers
came upon the porcupines, just before
dusk, they picked up clubs and started
for the animals. The hedgehogs, as
they are called ~hereabouts, jabbed their
needle-pointed quilts into the farmers
legs. The young men responded with a
short but sharp attack with their clubs.
but the hedgehogs proved to have the
better weapon and carried the day. Al
though one of them was left stretched
out on the ground, the other retreated
triumphantly and in good order, master
of the situation, while the two agricul-
turists limped home and out Of harms
way as speedily as possible.-New York

Cryptic

A story Is told in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger of how an English off
Ger outwitted the Beers. AS Colonel
Mahon approached Mafeking from the
south Colonel Plumer was approaching
it from the north, and Colonel Mahon
received the following questions from
Colonel Pulmer by Telegraph:
/. What is your strength?
2. How many guns have you?
8. How are you off for stores and
provisions?
Colonel Mahon would not allow n
answer to be sent for fear Of the
Beers trapping it on the way, until
Colonel Rhodes suggested the following
replies, which were approved:
What is your strength? Answer {:
Naval and Military multiplied by ten.
The number of the Naval and Military
Club in Piccadilly is "a, and multiplied
by 10 Appropriated their strength of
1000.
How many guns have you? Answer:
As many as there are boys in the Ward
family.
Colonel Mahon protested, as regards
this, that there would be no one who
would know, but Colonel Rhodes as
sured him that Colonel Jarvis, who
was with Colonel Plumer, would be
sure to know.
How are you off for stores and pro-
visions? Answer: Officer commanding
Ninth Lancers. Colonel Little, known
as "Small" Little.
The answers were received and cor
rectly interpreted.

outdoe. RAYS of ola Sol.

Sunlight, hitherto regarded as no less
essential to the existence of man than
The air he breathes, and as being alb
solutely Indispensable to plant life,
has found a rival in ordinary acety-
lene gas, so writes William I. Walsh
in the Technical World Magazine.
True, the usurper cannot dissipate the
frigidity of the atmosphere, o make
the werld wag long without the beneh-
cent rays Of the great god of day, but
when the latter chooses to snlk, vege-
kation need not pause in It's growth
but under the cheering influence OF
acetylene's rays, may wax large and
lusty. Professor John Craig of Cor
nell University, N. Y, in a series OF
experiments extending over a long
oeriod of time, discovered that Of arti-
icial illuminants, none is SO closely
akin to sunshine as are the rays of
~ncetylene gas.
Go to a dollhouse; observe how the
myriad panes of glass are placed to
catch every scattering ray of sunlight.
But dark and gloomy days come and
the plants fanguish. The process OF
forcing fruits or gaKaen vegetables or
lowers for the market at once ceases
Sunlight, since there is none, cannot be
trapped. Diminishing profits stare the
horticulturist in the face. Then it is
that artificial sunlight, generated by
ncetylene, comes to the rescse, and per-
forms its function.

and Destruction.
Scores Of lives We're lost, crops were
devastated, and at least two towns
were wiped out by a terrific tornado
that swept over the country west Of
Mount Pleasant, Texas, Monday after
noon. Details were difficult to obtain
on account of the prostration Of tele-
graph and telephone wires, but sufi-
Gent information was obtained to make
it certain that the disaster Is one Of
the most deadly that ever has visited
the State.
The towns of Birthright and Ridge
way, forty miles west, sire practically
annihilated. At Deport the Baptist
parsonage and half a dozen homes were
destroyed. Several buildings torn to
%splinters and two deaths are reported
from Halesboro, and great loss of life
is believed to have occurred at Caney,
a negro settlement.
Birthright, a town OF 500 people, is
literally wiped out. Ridgeway suffered
almost as severely, scarcely a stick of
timber being left standing. 1t is known
that many We're injured in Ridgeway.
but it is thought there were fewer ia.

A Million to Up1ift Negroes.

Miss Anna T. Jeannes, an aged quaker
philanthropist of Philadelphia, has given
81 100000, or o%ne-fourth of her fortune,
with few, if any, restrictions, to Booker
r. Washington to assist in the education
of negro children in the South. The gift
was made to Mr.. Washington in person
after he had spent three days in %convinc-
ing Miss Jeannes that the purpose in view
was worthy. The understanding was
that the MONEY should be used in estab-
fishing agricultural and trade schools in
various sections in which r~udimentary
and practical courses of education should
be offered. Entire authority for the dis
bursement is vested in Washington and
Hollis B. Frissell, one of his colleagues.
The father of Miss Jeannes was Isaac
Jeannes, who amassed a fortune in the
dry goods business.

Gerry Society for the cure of dependent
or hayward children, in a recent address,
asserted that the records of the society
showed that environment had an allcon-
trolling influence in the development OF
human character. He said they kept
track of all cases in which infants of
bad parents had been adopted by good
people, and that they had yet to find
where one had gone wrong. He could
mention hundreds of instances of children
who did not possess the wicked character
istics Of their parents, simply because
their surroundings have had a greater in
fuence over them, and he pointed out
that some of the greatest criminals have
children living who are honest members
of society and ~well-known citizens.

as though she would console me for the

conceived was the cause of my grief.
Cannot you speak, you poor little

The sound alone was ineligible to
her, and she responded with sounds that
were but a musical echo of my words.
Hearing her voice the jackdaw cawed,
and she replied with a cav as like his as
she could accomplish. Clearly she had
no notion of speech, and it was hopeless

nation of her strange condition and how
she came there. Had she never learned

I bent down and kissed her head-for

WAR ON WESTERN RANGE.
Ca~ttlenen and Shecpmcn Struggling
and Much Stock Slaughtered.

Cattlernen and Struggling
and Much Stock Slaughtered.
Wal over the public range has broken
out afresh in Wyoming, and is being
famed by a bitter controversy over the
question of leasing the public domain
Cattlemen are raiding sheep camps, and
sheep men have organized armed forces
and threaten to retaliate. The situation
is more serious han at any time since
the Rustler war in Wyoming, when the
big cattlemen organized to exterminate
~rustlers and a pitched battle was fought
in Johnson county.
The bitterness of the war is intensi-
fed by the discussion of the public range
leasing question. The State of Wyoming
is divided into two camps, as is every
State that has a great amount of public
domain, and meetings are being held and
the local press is teeming with scathing
articles representing the views of one side
or the other. The big cattle interests
favor leasing the public range, while the
sheep men and the ranchers are opposed
to it. Senator Warren and other polit-
ical leaders. who are close to President
Roosevelt, are in favor of leasing, but a
majority is strongly against it. Before
the question is settled in the next Con-
gress there is likely to be trouble-not
only in Wyoming, but in every State in
the West where there is a large amount
of public land. To add to the trouble,
the cattle and sheep men in Colorado
have startSd an open revolt against the
policy of issuing grazing permits on for
est reserves. Cattlemen and sheep men
have refused to renew their permits and
are running their stock on reserves in de-
fance of Chief Forester Pinchot's declar-
atoms that they will be forever barred
from such privileges in the future. The
aockmen are willing to let the courts
test the matter, but in this one instance
the cattle and sheep men are in accord.
In northern Wyoming, however, the
fight over the public range has broken out
into actual war. Several sheep camps
have been raided by masked cattlemen
and about 10000 sheep have been slaugh-
tered, the camp wagons and other out
fits being burned and the herders driven
back across dead lines.
