FRANCE FEARS REVOLUTION.

Inminent On Account Wine Grow.
ers' Trouble.
Montpelier, France, via frontier
June ga copyrighted dispatch from
the Publishers Press staff CORES.
pondent, Francis Warrington Daw-
son, says that Southern France is in
the throes Of a political CONFUSION
strikingly analogous to that in the
south in the United States in 1850
Following a summary of Dawson's
messages, the government is trying
to conceal the fact that the wine
growers movement has not collapsed
but is brewing. A war time press cen
sorship exists.
The carses are the insistance Of the
wine growers on principles Of states
rights and the attempt Of the French
wine trust to defraud the public and
ruin the wine growers by process
of adulAeratioD. The fact that nc
universal use of sugar in adulteration
is applicable to all France on account
OF the soil and climate is factor en-
tering in the states rights doctrine
issued. The affected districts desire
TO manage their own affairs. and re-
turning to the revolutionary is partial
autonomy.
The greed Of the wine trust is
largely responsible for the present
condition. If the demands of the
wine growers regarding aduIteration
are granted, the trust may lose mil
lions The struggle is a fight between
the Paris trust and the Midi peasants
Nc official business is transacted over
two thousand towns. Fear Of another
revolution is felt.

BOYDS, Nd, February Is, 1907
report reached here tonight of an at
tempted assault made upon Mrs. Thomas
Kenney at Brunswick by negro named
John Turner, between and 3 o'clock this
evening. Mrs. Kenney lives on what
is known as New York Hill. Turner, it is
stated, had been lounging about the vicin-
ity for some time. He went to the home of
Mrs. Kenney and asked for food, and the
request was compiled with. AS she turned
from the man he grasped her and at the
same time attempted to drag her to the
floor. Mrs. Kenney screamed and her hus-
band, who Is a railroad man and was up
stairs asleep, quickly jumped from his bed
and came rushing downstairs. The negro
ran. Mr.. Kenney grabbed a shotgun and
followed the negro and at last corralled
him in a woods not over mile distant.
At the point of the gun Kenney made the
negro return to Brunswick and he was de-
placed in the lookup. Not long after his ar
rest the town became wild with excite.
ment and soon a crowd of five or six
hundred people gathered, some of them
carrying a rope, but Deputy Sheriff Nelson
kept his prisoner secluded. When the officer
attempted to place Turner on the O'Clock
train for Frederick some one who had evil

I'VE must not mix up in any nonsensical

Mr.. William r. Spelman of Hope Council,
Independent Order Sons of Jonadab, an
iron-clad temperance society, when refer
ring to the recent crusade for prohibition In
the capital. The remark was made In the
course of an address before Hope Council
last night at Pythian Temple. He also said:
LAS a soldier and temperance worker
l can say that the army canteen Is less
harmful to the soldiers than are the low
dives that surround the army posts. OF the
two evils L prefer tine return of the cam
teen
Mr.. Spellman said the object of the Jona-
dabs was TO induce men to cease drinking
intoxicants, to help them to lead better and
purer lives so they might be comfort to
their families and a credit to the commu-
nifty in which they live. He hoped the
council would continue to work along these
lines and not mix up in any nonsensical
waste of time concerning prohibition.
Mr.. Charles A. Boyd related the cases of
several brilliant young men whose minds
and homes have been wrecked by strong
drink and of others whose cases were sup
posed 10 be hopeless, but by the patience
of members of this and other temperance
orders they were persuaded to live sober
lives and now regarded as our best
citizens and are doing good work among
their less fortunate brethren.

form his work with clear brain and steady
nerve and command the respect of his fell
low citizens.
Mr.. Thomas ]. Clark pictured the desolate
homes, the sad-faced wives and mothers
in homes he has visited where only misery
and suffering existed. Mr.. Clark said moth
ing can be gained by abuse of the saloon
keepers and hoped the members would
keep out of any wrangle.
