OF Europe, the car dwells in an at.
mosphere of terror and oppression,
the horror OF which is unrivalled in
history
Peterhof is situated on the Gulf of
Finland, eighteen miles west of the
capital. Its fountains are at once the
delight and despair of artists and
architects who have passed the sacred
portals and have feasted their eyes on
this secret retreat of Russian royalty.
These fountains play directly in front
OF the palace. In the center of the
group is the famous Samson fountain
which losses column of water 100
feet in the air Bronze statues of ami
mails are grouped about it with
streams of water gushing from the
mouth of each. The water from the
fountains dashes down the slope to
the sea over slabs of marble Leading
from the fountains also is the great
golden cascade, fight of gilded
steps over which the clear waters
glide.
The palace is furnished in the style
OF the last century, though there are
hundreds of mementoes of it's earlier
occupants dating from the reign OF

proved the plot absolutely. The court
took the same view, and promptly
found Nikitenko and his associates
guilty. Nikitenko and two others,
Simasky and Naumof, were sentenced
to death and the rest to Imprisonment.
If the police were right in their ac-
cusations against Nikitenko the latter
must have performed an almost mirac-
ulous feat, for the hundreds of guards
at Peterhof overrun the gardens, and

A little baby's arm grows so fast
that the sleeve is outgrown before the
rest Of the dress. Instead of gathering
the sleeve of the first dresses on
waistband, run small tuck just above
the hem, sew up the sleeve, then work
a buttonhole in the tuck at each side
of the seam, run baby ribbon through
the tuck, draw it up and tie. AS the
tiny arm grows the sleeve can be tied
looser, and does not cut the tender
flesh as a band would do. Whip a
dainty piece of lace on the hem for a
finish.

JENKINS CHEATS GALLOWs


George Jenkins, slayer of Herbert
Clifton, who was under sentence to
hang at Tunica yesterday, and who
has been in jail at Jackson for safe
keeping since his trial, committed
suicide by cutting his throat last
Monday.
Jenkins committed the act of self
destruction with a razor, which he
had managed somehow to secure.
Just as Sheriff Owens, of Tunica, en-
tered the Jail to secure the prisoner
and carry him to Tunica, Jenkins,
saying that he would nevor go with
him, drew the razor across his throat,
and when the sheriff approached, spat
at him. This was at o'clock in the
morning and he died about II o'clock.
His body was shipped here Tuesday
and the casket opened at the depot
by relatives of Clifton, who inspected
the remains to satisfy themselves that
Jenkins was really dead. They were
satisfied and the body was carried to
Eudora and buried.
Our readers are familiar with the
details of the murder, which occurred
about four years ago.

MAYNARD BOY |S FOUND IN
 VALLEY
Charles Mosco, Aged 10 Years, Who Ran Away from Home, Is Taken Into Custody by Deputy Sheriff White.

After being absent from his home for couple of weeks, causing untold anxiety to a loving father and giving tho officers of both Douglas and Bis bee great deal of trouble, Charles Mosco, agen 10 years. who had am bitions to be a cowboy, bad man, In- dian fighter, scout, or in fact anything that tinged on the wild and woolly, was taken in tow by Deputy Sheris Bill White, while roaming the hills in Dixie Canyon, and last night reposed comfortably in the county jail, await. ing the arrival of his father from the smelter city this morning. at which time it is conjectured that the embryo Bill Cody will feeel the bangs and pains of remorse.
 On Wednesday morning Charles Mosco arrived in the city from Doug. las, and immediately came to the Re. view office, asking for assistance in finding his wayward boy who had mounted a horse and ridden away from home on August 4th. He then interviewed the local officers. giving them a thorough, description of the boy and his outfit, and also asking for their assistance. Yesterday morn.
 
 Review, and about 10 o'clock in the morning Deputy Sheriff Bill White re ceived word that a ypungster an. swering to the description of young Mosco had been seen riding toward Dixie Canyon. -. The officer mounted his horse and rode about fifteen miles down into the valley, finally coming to the camp oi an old prospector, of whom he asked concerning the boy, and was told that the youngster was not far away in the hills. The sheriff trailed over the hills for several hours, finding no trace of the child until he skirted hill on his return trip. and saw Mosco riding leis. l urely along looking at the surround ing mountains as if he were on a scouting expedition. He overlook the boy, and ordered him to ride back into town at once.
 Along the route White endeaVOred to find out why the child had caused his father so much worry, but like all determined border fighters, Mosco was slow of speech, and when he did talk was surly. He will be taken home this morning and will probably be l thoroughly spanked.

NEGROES ASSAULT PRIEST,
 VIGlLANTES GET BUSY

MONROE CITY MO. Aug. 1.-The unofficial cuTfew law for negroes, which has been in effect here for more than two weeks, has been strict ly enforced by the viligante commit. tee, comprising some of the best known citizens of Monroe City. whose members last night severely beat two blacks who violated the notices posted about town, instructing all members of their race to keep off the streets after 8 D. m.
 The two victims of the attack, Char lie Caldwell and Bill Hawkins, have lived in this community all their lives Each iS more than 45 years old.
 While uptown shortly before the curfew hour, at which time the city electric light plant whistle blows loud ly, the two negroes announced that they had the same rights as any other citizens to the business streets, and declared that they would not go home
 A few minutes later they were thor oughly. pounded with sticks and then jabbed in the back with the weapons as the vigilantes sent them home.
 Caldwell was roughly handled last week when he came. uptown. He ran Dul uNSloACN Oh AAC "oy NANN he would again appear on the busi ness streets at o'clock.
 Many citizens now look upon the negro question here as having reach ed a critical stage. Several blacks have threatened to get even" It is feared that some of the criminal ele ment will turn to incendiarism as a means of revenge. Close watch Is being kept on buildings, particularly business property.
 Late last night 1t was learned that strolling negro musician was per forming in the Court of Honor Hall and, fearing that he would be whipped by the vigilantes, Councilman Thomas Benjamin Hayden of the Second Ward, stopped the music

ELKe ARRANGING ANOTHER POOL
 TOURNAMENT
Expected That Contest Will Be Biggest Affair Ever Held in City-VaIuabIe Prizes Will Be Donated.

The pool tournament which was re- gently played at the Copper Queen Hotel seems to have developed great deal of interest in the same. and in- spired the members of the Elks Club to arrange another contest to be play ed at the club rooms of the organiza- tion. There hae already been large number of entries.
 When the pool tournament which was held at the hotel was arranged it was decided to make the affair an eli imitation contest, which means that the losers in the first round are out of the tournament, and so on until il dwindles down to two men, who play for the championship. It seems that some of those who took part in the contest were dissatisfied with that method, as it was believed that the element of chance entered too strong. ly into the asair For instance a man might not be playing in form in his first game. although a good player yet he would be eliminated from the contest, whereas later on he might have been able to win.
 Taking this into consideration g number of E1ks decided to arrange a tournament in which each contest would play every other entry in the contest, thus giving each man a chance, if he happens to be in bad form in the beginning to settle down and pull up his average as the tourna. ment progresses. The idea met with general approval, and already-,there have been number entered.
 Secretary Joseph MeKeehan has charge of the tournament, and togeth, CT with a committee selected by the contestants will arrange the handi. caps hoping to arrange them so that everyone who enters, no matter what his ability, will have a chance of win. ming the first prize.
 The local merchants who entered in to the spirit of the former contest and donated prizes to be played for, have again expressed their willingness 10 do everything possible to make the Elks' tournament. a success from the standpoint of pries. It is understood that the contest will be commenced on next Monday, but this is not definitely settled as yet.
