RUSSIAN REDS

A.exandrcpol, Russo, July 17.-Gen-
eral AI!khanoff. former governor gen.
eral of Tif1is, Madame Glieboff, wife
of General Glieboff, and the coachman
who was driving their carriage, were
blown to pieces by bombs thrown at
their conveyance son of Alikhan-
off and a daughter of Glieboff sus-
tanned serious injuries. The party
was returning to the residence of
General Alikhanoff from his Glib at
2 in the morning. General Alikhan-
off was nicknamed the wild beast"
by the caucausian members of the low
er house of parliament, who often re-
ferred to his cruelty in the Kutais
district, where he led a number of
punitive expeditions to stamp out dis
orders. His rigorous methods to this
end brought down upon him the en-
nifty of the revolutionists.
Gen. Alikhanoff was seriously in.
jured by bomb at Borjamm May 80
of last year. This bomb was thrown
just as he was about to take a train
for Tifis. Its explosion seriously
wounded, in addition to the general, a
member of his staff and several cos
sacks. The cossacks fired into the
crowd, killing many persons, then
burned to the ground the buildings
into which the people had fed.

"The exhibit of poultry is one of the
best features of the fair" said G. P.
Mix of Moscow, who made the awards
in this department.
There are over 500 entries, and

the fairs on the Northwest circuit, and
find the show here to be better than at
any place l visited.
THE bringing together of the poul-
try people and the showing of the best
specimens of the breeds is highly bene
fetal to the industry in this section. 1t

| important factors in the development
of the small acreage tracts that sur
round your cities, and within few
years will be one of the chief sources
of income for the small farmer"
The poultry exhibit has been one Of
the departments of the grounds that
