that would be better than the way
they have sprayed this Spring, if that
does not kill the sale there is no use to
spray at all.
1t seems as though some one who
has nothing else to do is indulging in
very careless sport with gun Of

too if they are caught, as they go
along the line and shoot holes through
peoples mail boxes and shoot the
insulators from the telephone poles
and tear down signs Now we wish
to warn those who are doing so, to
be careful from now on, as they are
closely watched and if caught they
will be punished to the fullest extent
of the law if possible. People do
not like to put up a nice mail box and
have it shot full of holes by some
idle culprit, who has nothing to do
but go around at such work. Anyone
who is that idle aud non-law abid-
ing should have a job at Salem OF
some other place. They seem to
think it is sport but if l understand
the law, it may be very costly sport
for some one. so be careful from now
on if you wish to escape trouble and
expense.

Conspiracy Revealed by Arrest OF
Soldier,

st. Petersburg, May 17.-By the ar
rest of a soldier of the guards at
Tsarskoe Selo and his subsequent con
fession a terrorist plot against the life
of the emperor was discovered.
According to the details Of this plot,
the existence of which has been con-
firmed by one of the highest officials
of the court. suspicion was directed to
the soldier by the fact that he was
seen to have in his possession consid-
erable sums of money.
The man was at once placed under
observation When he noticed that
he was being shadowed he became
panic-stricken and sought the author
tiles. He then broke down and vol
unfairly made his confession, after
which he begged for protection.
All the threads of this conspiracy,
which is radically different from for
mer attempts Of this nature, are not
vet in the hands of the secret service
men. A few underlings have been
apprehended, but the real instigators
of the crime and the men who fur
n.sned the blood money have not yet
been identified

always be assigned to overwork and
