Another Russian General Killed.

Lieut.-Gen Vladimir Pavlof, the mill
tary procurator or advocate general,
generally known since TIE days of the
ate parliament as "Hangman Pavloff,"
from the epithet constantly applied to
him by the radical deputies, was shot
and killed at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning while walking in the garden
of the chief military court Nalding
near the Moikal canal.
The assassin, who was disguised as
a workman, was captured after a long
chase through the crowded city Streets.
during which he fired about ~ snots
from two revolvers which he carried,
killing a policeman and wounding a.
small boy.
The crime was executed deliberately
and showed evidence of the same care
full preparation which was character
istic of the murders of Gems. Ignatieff
and Won Der Launitz and undoubtedly
was carried out by the same organiza-
tion which it is reported has sentenced
Emperor Nicholas and several of the.
ministers to death.

Hereditary Divorce.

AS a matter of fact, divorces run
in families. The children of di-
vorced mother are the likeliest them
selves to contract alliances which the
law will have to sever. There have
been numerous instances of families
of sisters or brothers who have gone
through the divorce courts in almost
unbroken succession. This phenom-
enon sheds some light on the true
causes of divorce and suggests that a
very large proportion of the separa-
tions which the law countenances are
due not to an initial fatal mistake"
nor to complete 'incompatibility," nor
even to the actual misdeeds of either
party, but to mental and tempera-
mental pecuiliarities. Not the insti-
tuition of marriage is at fault, says
Chicago Sun, not the mistaken union
of antipathetc personalities, but the
human nature of one party or the
other to the compact. Divorces are
prevalent in certain families. So are
incorrigible levity, disagreeable dis
positions, unwillingness to abide the
consequences of a deliberate act, a
deficient philosophy.

Crime UnspeakabIe.

There was en- affecting scene az tne
Saginaw police headquarters when
Hattie Jubbe's father. respected
see his wayward daughter who, in
company with Bertha Konleczk. is al
legged to have been sent to Detroit
from Saginaw resort as a white
slave" The girl broke down at the
sight of her father. who bowed his
head in silence, and her sobbing could
be heard throughout the cell rooms.
She lay i'll upon her couch and the
grief-stricken parent lifted her in his
arms, too overcome TO say anything
for some time, and merely stroking
her hair. The hardened characters sur
rounding the pair as well as the police
attendants turned their heads
The girl wanted to be taken home
and her father came for that purpose,
but her physical condition is so serious
that she could not be moved. She has
been subjected to such treatment that
her condition is truly shocking and she
may never entirely recover.
Miss Jubbe, her father said, is but
16 years old and had always lived an
upright life until she came to Saginaw
for employment. Gradually her visits
home became less frequent and finally
she ceased coming altogether and for
some time her whereabouts were un-
known. In fact, her discovery in De-
troit was the first intimation her faith
er had Of the real character Of the life
she was living.
Miss Jubbe's name is assumed, and
to protect the family her real name
has been withheld. She says Mrs.
Smith, the keeper of the local resort
who is accused Of accomplishing the
downfall of the girls, paid their fares
to Detroit, and that they were sent to
the resort kept by the daughter of
Mrs. Smith, who is said to keep the
former supplied with girls from Sagi-
nav. The Detroit woman has fled and
the authorities here are on the lookout
for her.
Both girls say that Mrs. Sm'>l
threatened to expose them to their
parents If they disobeyed her and that
she held all of their clothes except
what they wore until they arrived pen
niless in Detroit. and were taken to
her daughters place.

Though Elihu Root, secretary of
state, is a great lawyer and a success
full diplomat, the verbiage of the dip
lomatic papers that bears his name
is not his. AS a lawyer of large prac-
tice he acquired the habit of direct
ness and incisiveness, which is i'll
ruited to the ways and customs of
diplomacy. Realizing this fully, it
was not long after Mr.. Root assumed
the duties of secretary of state that
he discovered that the safest course
for him to pursue would be to have
one of his assistants clothe in the
formal and stilted language of diplo-
macy every communication of impor-
tance he had to make to a foreign
power. Accordingly he has Assistant
Secretary Adee who has been longer

Three Hundred Drowned

A tidal wave has devastated some
of the Dutch East Indian islands south
Of Achin. The loss is very great.
According to brief official dispatch
800 persons perished on the Island of
Tana, while 40 are known to have
been drowned at the Island of Simalu.
Achin, or Acheen, is the capital of
Sumatra, and the islands mentioned
are presumably small ones, as they are
not shown on the standard maps of
Oceanica. n
A few days &go European seismo-
graphs were reported as indicating a
severe earthquake at a great distance.
1t was then stated that the disturbance
was probably in the South Pacific. 1t
is quite likely that the shock caused
the tidal wave which has caused so
much damage.

The Beet-suear Industry.
G. A. LIsK. Publisher

The census of 1905 shows mucf
progress in the beet-sugar Industry
Of the United States, showing oil es
Establishments, against four in 1850
saws the Baltimore Sun. At present
s55,923,459 is invested in beet-sugal
production, and the annual product is
worth $24,393,794. Most of the In
crease of plant and product has taken
place since 1900, when the output
was worth but $7,323,S57. OF the
2.175,417 tons of beets grown in the
census year on 240757 acres and cost
ing $11,345,7 1855, four-fifths were grown
by contract by independent farmers
The sugar factories do not grow their
supply of beets to any large extent.
Granulated beet sugar was produced
to the extent of 496,61S,314 pounds,
worth $23,493,373. Other products
were raw sugar, 11,223,607 pounds;
molasses, 9,609,642 gallons, and pulp,
worth $2O2, 2,O7O. The leading states in
beet sugar are Colorado, Michigan and
California, the first producing $7,19S,-
9S2 worth of beet sugar, the second
$5,37S,O04 worth and the third $4,415,-
172 worth. California and Colorado
irrigate the land used to produce
beets. In Utah a system Of pipelines
connects slicing stations with the
central factories. The beets from the
neighboring country are received at
these slicing stations, where the juice
is extracted and treated with COM
position of lime, after which it is
forced through the pipes to the fac
tories.

A Rare Battle.

Thomas Traynor, of Battle Creek,
sold Glen Bowers a horse for $14O, and
threw in a jug of whisky to bind the
sale. The horse baked and when
Bowers demanded his money back,
Traynor said: "All right, where's the
whisky" Bowers could not produce
the whisky, as it had already coursed
through his system, and Traynor
would accept no other liquor than his
own, constituting the law to read that
having accepted part of the goods sold
and consumed them. Bowers was in
no position to demand the return Of
his money.
This unique case has been tried in
justice court and in the circuit court,
where a jury disagreed. For the past
week it has kept the local circuit jury
busy night and day, and still is un-
finished. Each litigant has spent
hundreds of dollars for counsel.

INAUGURATION OF GOVERNOR
WARNER FOR SECOND
TERM.
A BRIEF, MANLY ADDRESS
The Oath Administered to the Gov
ernor, Propped Up in Bed, Made
An Impressive Scene.
With No Display.

While his aged father, whose hair
is whitened by the SHOWS Of eighty
six winters, stood looking proudly on,
Gov. Fred M. Warner took the oath
of Office at o'clock Saturday after
noon, sitting in bed supported by pill
lows. An invalid mother whose hands
are palsied with age, but whose af-
fection for her son is as strong and
ardent as in the springtime of life,
directed her gaze steadily towards
the sick chamber where the governor
was taking the oath to fulfill to the
best of his ability the duties of the
Office of governor of the state of Mich
igan.
1t was a remarkable scene. 1t is
the first time a governor of Michi-
gan has ever qualified for Office
while upon a bed of sickness. 1t was
like the gathering of little family
circle. There was no pretense OF a
state function. 1t suggested little
home ceremony that might be Of no
significance, even to the neighbor in
the next block.
Instead of the boom of cannon to
proclaim to the world that the chief
executive of the commonwealth OF
Michigan had qualified for the office of
high honor, there was only silence.
Instead of the tramp Of soldiers
feet, there were soft gliding footsteps
and no one made noise that could
be avoided, for fear that the balance
might be turned unfavorably to the
governors condition. When the cere-
mony was concluded the governor
said: II have no prepared speech, but
[ will always do the best | can, and
try to do the right thing at the right

Spice of Life in Maine Woods.

The southeast corner of the state
of Maine is happy remnant of the
ancient wilderness. The railroads
will carry you around it in a day, if
you wish to go that way, makirg a
big oval of 200 or 800 miles along the
sea, and by the banks of the Penob-
scot, the Mattawamkeag and the st.
Croix. But if you wisely wish to
cross the oval, writes Henry Van
Dyke, in Scribner's, you must ride, or
60 afoot, or take to your canoe prob
ably you will have to try all three
methods CT locomotion, for the coun.
try is a mixed quantity. 1t reminds
me of what l once heard in Stock
holm-that the Creator, when the
making of the rest of the world was
done, had lot of fragments of land
and water, forests and meadows
mountains and valleys, lakes and
moors, left over; and those he threw
togther to make the southern part oi
Sweden. l like that kind of a pro
miscuous country. The spice of life
grows there.
