LANDGRABBERS
 IN PEASANTRY
The Cause of RiOting in
 Southern Russia
A Law Which Apparently Beneficent is Being Un- satisfactorily Employed.

St. Petersburg. oct. 21.-The peas ants of south Russia are making a desperate fight to retain the old sys- tenn of communal ownership of land Under new law passed a year ago by M. Stolypin, in defiance of the con- stitutiOn, peasants under certain con- ditions were allowed to keep as pri- vate property the lots of communal land, which they were for the time be- ing cultivating. Under the communal system this land always remained the property Of the village as a whole. and was redistributed according to the size of each peasants family.
 The new law unjustly favors peas ants who through accidental causes have larger lots than they have a right to. The mass of the peasants. therefore, favor communal ownership under which they had a chance of getting a fair share. But the peas ants with unfairly large farms are seizing the opportunity to claim them as private property.
 The poorer peasants are resisting these claims. As the authorities and the courts enforce the new law, the malcontents have had recourse to rioting and violence.
 In one large district of Kherson province nearly every peasant who took advantage of the new law was attacked. Many houses were burnt The peasants destroyed the houses of several local officials; declared a boy colt of the landgrabbers and refused them the protection of ri4e village po- lice.
 As the object of the new law was to create disunion among the peas ants. and foster new class of rich muzhiks who would oppose the rev olution. the government regards the incident disorders with complacency.

BEGIN TO HATE
 M. FALL|ERtS
Who Was Never Over Pop.
 uIdr With the French
The Presidents Attitude on the Death Penalty is Un- fortunate for Him.

Paris, Oct. 21.- NJ. Fallieres, the president. lost a great deal of popular
 ity by his much talked or decision in the case of Soleilland, the brutal mur- derer of a little girl, whose sentence of death was commuted to penal ser vitude. Not that the present chief magistrate ever enjoyed or ever will enjoy the measure of popularity that Carnot or Felix Faure or Emile Lou bet could boast, but people had begun to think he was the harmless head of the state and at bottom a good sort of a fellow who preferred his own ease to being troubled over much and this was a characteristic appeal to the French. Then when a ridic- ulous little so-called attempt on his life was made, he almost became popular for a brief period
 Since the popular agitation to exc cute Soleilland broke out, and the president disappointed it by deciding that like all other French murderers for some years past. he should not be guillotined, public clamor has been very much against him. It is extra ordinary how public opinion took up this question and how universal was the demand that the execrated Soleil- land should pay the utmost penalty for his deed
 Paris has got sick of it's bestial crimes and a strong public opinion is finding expression that it is really owing to the clemepcy of the authori- ties that these crimes are so frequent ly committed. Nearly every jury in the country has sent a petition to the minister of justice asking that the death penalty should be kept on the statute book. and people are saying it is ridiculous that a president of de- mocracy should have power over life and death like sont feudal monarch.
 The government and the president could not, of course. shut their eyes to this popular clamor. and it is doubt less in measure to appease 1t and turn the peoples thoughts in another direction that the president went to visit the districts where the disaster from the floods occurred. At the time of the wine riots in the same district last summer the fact that neither the president nor any of the chief minis ters visited the afflicted country was adversely commented on.

OFFER SPECIAL RATtS
 FOR COMING CONTESTS
Browns and Miners Due to Arrive in Phoenix Thursday Morning.

On Saturday and Sunday the santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix will give a special rate of one fare for the round trip from all points on the line to Phoenix for the ball games between Phoenix and Bisbee which will be the closing games of the series and for this season. It is expected that quite a number from the north will take ad- vantage of the rate to enjoy a brief visit to the land of flowers and sun shine and witness the closing of the brilliant league contests.
 There will also be rates on the lines to Mesa and Tempe during these games and big crowds are expected at the windup. The grandstand will be all finished by Monday night and ample accommodations will be provided for the attendance which should be record breakers on Thanksgiving day and Sunday.
 The winning of the game yesterday by the Browns at Bisbee leaves the nine still in the race. Bisbee has two 10 her credit. Phoenix will have to take three out ot the four in this city in order to win the series of seven. That will be going some. in light of the way the Miners are playing ball and coming up in their batting aver ages in the last three games.

HOW THf INDIANS
 BURY THEIR TALENTS
The Knowledge of English More Wide ly Diffused Among Them Than Might Be Supposed.

George Brown. who has charge of the agricultural destinies of the In dians os the Sacaton reservation, was speaking yesterday of the constant sur prises which the:- inflicted upon him. A few days ago one of the children of the Indians at Gila Crossing was sick and Mr. Brown came to town after some medicine for it. The doctor who gave t to him told him 1t was to be taken in doses four hours apart and that 1t was essential that it be admin istered faithfully according 10 direc- tions as 10 time: otherwise there might bo serious results.
 Mir. Brown took the medicine back to the crossing and selected as the person to administer it a patriarch of the tribe whom he knew to be reliable. The old Indian had lived under the shadow of Mr. Browns residence for two -ears and in all that time he had never heard him speak a word of Eng fish. He could, however. understand English when literally supple mented by signs, the language which Mir. Brown generally employs in con- versing with his wards
 Mr. Brown held uD the bottle of medicine and 9 spoon in front of the old Indian and then described an arc

IMPROVEMENTS Al
 WATERWORKS PLANT
Standpipe Will Be Given Weeks Va
 cation. New Motor For the Pumps.

Yesterday afternoon the electric power was cut off from the city water works pumps and steam power ap- piled. after which the pumping was resumed directly into the city mains, the standpipe being "cut out" This was done in order that the standpipe maybe scraped and repainted inside and the few leaks in evidence be re- paired For pumping directly into the mains the steam power is preferable as it can be more evenly regulated and controlled. The painting and repair ing of the standpfpe it is expected will require about eight days. This has to be done occasionally in order to preserve the pipe which is made of half inch iron.
 The standpipe is leo feet high and holds 100000 gallons. IL was permit ted to empty itself into the mains down to within about twenty feet of the ground. The manhole at the sur face was then opened and the rest of the water was discharged into the ditch. making q considerable of a riv CT for about a half hour. The old paint will be scraped off the inside. the leaks repaired and then it will be painted again and must stand a little to dry. The pipe has been in use about eighteen years and with good care it is expected it will last that much longer.
 Another improvement to be made during the work on the standpipe will be the substitution of an alternating current sixty-horsepower motor for the direct current motor now in use. The new motor will be placed in the pit sixteen feet below the surface, alongside the pumps in order to save the loss of power in the belt drive. Superintendent Craig says that when these improvements are made Phoenix will have the finest pumping plant in Arizona.

Then he point ed directly east and said: "One spoon Pointing to where the sun ought to be abort 10 o'clock. he said: One spoon" Likewise indicating with his forefinger pointed at the heavens when other 'Sooons" should be given, he said to the Indian: You sabe?'

IHt BROWNS WINNERS
 IN THE THIRD GAME
Details of the Event Are Lacking But the Result Creates Much Rejoicing Here.

Manager Goldberg yesterday evening received word from Bisbee that the Browns had won the third game of the series with Bisbee by a score of to 3. The batteries were Cheek and Fle- harty, Bayless and Young. The hines will play in Douglas today, which game is not a part of the champion ship series.
 The Republican last night was un- able to establish communication with it's correspondent at Bisbee and re- ceived no further details of the game. and how it was won. An earlier re- port in the day was circulated that Bisbee had won by score of 3 to 2. stating that Phoenix had the Miners shut out till the seventh inning. This was a canard and the later information is deemed authentic.
 The Browns and the Miners will play the fourth game of the series in Phoenix on Thanksgiving day.

The key is chis- eled out of block of steel, presenting two grotesaue female figures and orna- mented with various masks and scrolls. Another costly key, which formerly be- longed to the Medici family, is in the South Kensington museum, London. The upper part of the bow rests upon a square temple. inclosing a standing figure. exquisitely chiseled, holding a shield. The pipe consists of column with Corinthian capital.
