A RUSSIAN PEASANT
 BECAME A TYRANT
He Used His Power so MerciIessIy, That He Obtained a Residence in SaghaIin.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 29-One of the worst dramas of human depravity on record in Russia, has been closed by the conviction and sentence of Ilya Sorotchkan of Zlatopol near lrkutsk. in Siberia.
 Sorotchkan. rich and usurious peasant. had the whole village of Zlatapol under his thumb. He lent money to his fellow villagers. which was seldom paid back. and by bribing the local police he obtained free hand for dealing with his debtors. He fog ged them merciless1y, harnesscd them to ploughs. and even sold their chil- dren as apprentices to Irkutsk trades men.
 As Sorotchkan's power increased, he developed n mania for wanton cruel ty bordering on insanity. Last spring he assembled seven of the poorest peasants in the village. all his debt ors, and threatened that if they did not pay arrears of interest on money loaned, he would use his power with the administration to have them sep arated from their families and exiled. The peasants obtained a respite of a month. and started for Irkutsk in or der to obtain work. Two returned and paid the arrears. The other five fail ed to get work, and returned penniless.
 Sorotchkin summoned them: and an-
 nounced that they would go into exile next day if they refused to submit to the punishment he had chosen foI
 them.
 He declared that he would cut off
 the fingers of each of his debtors. The unfortunate peasants. imagining that
 they had no choice between this and exile. agreed. Scorotchkin himself performed the operation. A few days later a high offical passed through the village and heard the story. The mod
 ern Shylock was immediately arrested and has now been sentenced to five years in Saghalien.

THE COMMON PEOPLE
 TRIUMPH FOR ONCE
of Die Zukunft For Telling a Start ling Story.

Berlin. Oct. 29.-Maximillian Har- den, editor of Die Zukunft. on trial for some time on a charge of defama- tion, the case being brought against him by Count Kuno von Moltke. was acquitted yesterday.
 Von Moltke was condemned to bear the costs of the trial. The trial was of great interest in Germany. Har- den declared that the court clique which von Moltke was a member of. was guilty of infamous practices and also sought undue influence over Elm peror William.
 The court said that Harden was justified in what he had written. The verdict was cheered by the .audience in the courtroom and the crowd wait ing in the rain outside. Won Moltke was impressive. The case is having considerable political effect. A hun- dred and forty socialist daily news papers are attacking the monarchial principle with studied fury, mocking, sneering and savagely assailing the existing conditions.

that every member should be present

0obin Block Occupancy.

Tho Goblin block is illustrative Of pro-
gressive ideas in the building line. The
six store rooms on the ground floor have
been plastcred while the second story
was not yet begun. Tho plaster used
has been so treated in the Stacking as to
bo unaffected by moisture. and the finish
ing work is permitted to 60 on below
while the roof and upper floors arc still
wanting. Mr.. Goblin reports the letting
Of several Of the store rooms in advance
Of the construction. The Electric Light
Company's office will Of course occupy
one having previously occupied the site in
a smaller building. Miss Jennie Goblin,
with the closing out Of the Phsnieie dry
goods house. will remove her millinery
business to the first store room east in the
new block. The next room is being ne
gotiated for by Kansas parties. The
third will be occupied as restaurant.
The fourth Ray Kerney will occupy with
an up-to-date barber shop. The next is
the light company's office. Leaving one
apartment still uncalled for. The upper
story will be occupied by law and other
professional offices and in part as a
