Berlin, Aug. 21-when Ivan
RaneloG died in public hospital in
this city OF spinal complaint, at
the early age of 40, there passed
away strong minded man who for
more than twenty years had been the
terror OF the Russian police, for OF
Nihillsts he was the most dreaded.
lt is not unlikely that the czar him
self breathed little freer when he
learned OF the passing of this man
with the strange and adventurous
career
lie was Russia's arch rebel.
Such his resourcefulness aud such
his bouyancy OF spirit that no men,
ace could thwart him and no mis-
fortune subdue him., and until his
dying day he was moving power
among the revolutionary forces now
at work I'm his native land.
The story OF his lifo is typical
story of the life of a Siberian exile.
AS a boy at school Rafeloff be-
came infected with Nihillst ideas,
and as n student at tho university at
Kienf no took an active part In sub
verslve propaganda.
Soon after his 10th birthday he
was arrested at Kieff on the charge
of revolutionary conspiracy, and
within a few days OF his goth birth
day he was on his way to Siberia
to undergo period OF exile as
political criminal.
lie was confined I'm penal settle
ments at Yakutsk and at Kotymsk,
and endured many hardships IN tho
severe Siberian climate under tho
charge OF brutal Russian warders.
But such things were not always
to be borne-no, not for long Hard
ly was he 81 when he led a revolt
OF all the political exlles In the PEN
al settlement at Kotymsk for the
overthrow of new governor. who
was treating them with even great
er severity than his predecessor had
done.
A desperate encounter took place.
Six rebels were killed and others
dangerously injured by the prison
guards
RaGeloT escaped injury, but was
sentenced 10 hard labor for life.
After serving ten years OF his
sentence. Ranelon was removed To-
the prison at AkatnI. where discl-
pline was less severe.
II was "A sorry day for the Rus
sian government when this transfer
was made. The craft and desperate
Rafieloff escaped. and from that day
forth he was a vigorous and unre-
lenting foe of the government which
had proved such monstrous tyrant
over him.
After many remarkable adventures
and escapes he succeeded I'm reach

by the Russian police He crossed
the frontier into Germany and later
settled In switzerland. near Zurich.

GOOD ROADS BOOM is ON.

The good roads convention held in
connection with the annual state
fair at Milwaukee, has resulted in
the organization of the Wisconsin
Good Roads ASSOCIATION, with its
object explained by its name. 1t
IS the intention to encourage the
organization of county associations
IN every county of the state, and
then TO push systematic plan for
making good roads an issue with
the people. Every effort will be
made to secure a modification of the
state constitution which will enable
the state to furnish aid in the
matter of building better roads. and
it IS believed this point will be
carried at the next ger eral election.
While this movement will intrench
on politics to some extent there is
no desire to make it a partisan
questiOn-in fact the effort will be
to eliminate partisan politics entire
IL.
Wisconsin has been somewhat
backward in taking up the good
road movement, but the present in
'dieations are the people of this state
will give a fine exhibition of
hustle" when they really get a
good start on the good roads ques-
ton. The step which has been
taken at Milwaukee in the organiza-
rt1on of state association is one of
much Importance, and apparently
has launched good roads boom
that will meet with general public
favor and support. With a few
preliminary steps perfected there
promises to be an era of astonishing
activity in this state in the direction
of public highway improvements,
and the ultimate effect of this work
will be of great benefit and advant-
age to all. In the language of the
street Its good thing-push it
along"

Since the inaugurat69n of work FOR
the development from American ma
terial Of a carriage horse which would

ment to- establish classes for such
SorSes at the national and state fairs.
Che sentiment for this has grown rap

the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and tie Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
Ky, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season of 1907.

made possible by Il cooperative ar

Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
Tie adoption of the classification By
statet fairs is especially urged by those
interested in it. for the reason that the

Furthermore, there is a continual sale
of stations to supply this trade. These
horses are usually of only moderate
value as speed producers, but are of
excellent carriage type. Tf kept entire

YOUR TRUE CoMMUTER.
He Must BE by Nature Man Whc
Takes to Routine.


Your true commuter must be by ma
9ure a man who takes to routine.
There are some who have committed
for a quarter century or more and yet
have not acquired the trick and never
will. They are the ones who write let
ters to the newspapers, airing their
grievances against the heartless rail-
road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had communal
ton thrust upon them But many real
Iy enjoy the life of the commuter.
They like the clocklike regularity.
They like the pleasant social aspect Of
the early morning trip to town, the
1eighborly interest in one anOther's at
FAIRS, the ample time for reading the
newspapers. which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged to get
an early start. They look forward to
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side to keep the smoke out of their
eyes. Some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early In
the morning.
In time all who work in New York
viii come to it, Meanwhile, for the
man with a family it appears to be In
many ways happy solution of diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly it is a more
wholesome existence physically, but
rmentally and spiritually it has the de-
fleets of its virtues when pursued all
the year round The commuter devOtes
Ghe best part of the day to one narrow
corner of the city The rest of his
time not consumed on the train is in
still more narrowing atmosphere of the
suburbs He neither gets all the way
into the life of the city nor clean out
into the country So his view of things
has neither the perspective of robust
rurality nor the sophisticatiOn of man
IN the city and of it. His return to
mature is only halfway. His urbanity
is suburbanity. Much of our literature,
art and especially criticisms show the
faint Of the commuters point of view.
