AGAIN ATTACK RUSSIANS.
Persian Bandits Concentrate in Force
at Belesuvar.

Tiflis, April 20.-The situation on
the Persian frontier arising from the
activity of bands of marauding Kurds
has not materially improved. The
Persian bandits, who retired into their
mountain Businesses after their first
successes against the Russians, again
concentrated In force and renewed
their attack against Belesuvar. The
Russians countered with energy and
their artillery bombarded several vii
lagos in which the brigands had taken
shelter. The Russian commander has
received orders to disperse and en-
tirely wipe out the brigand bands.
Reinforcements are being sent in to
him from Baku and Lenokran. The
expedition that went In from Baku
found its fianks to be menaced by
the brigands; 1t therefore occupied
points in Persian territory in ordeI
adequately to protect the line of com
munication. In addition to the losses
previously reported the Russians have
had seven soldiers killed.
The Russian commander says In a
report that the Persian authorities
have lost their heads entirely and
that anarchy reigns in the district.

CONGRESSIONAL PROBE.
cannon's Latest Plan to Fight the
Paper Trust.

Washington, April 20.--In the event
the attorney general does not show
that something substantial has been
done to prosecute the paper trust as
combination in restraint of trade,
providing the pending inquiry shows
1t is operating in violation of law,
congress may go into the trust fight
ing business on It's own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee contend that the tariff has
nothing to do with the high price of
print paper; that II the scarcity of
the raw product is not responsible for
1t then the fault lies with the paper
trust, which, by combining factories
and regulating the output. holds the
prices up to suit itself. The speaker
does not intend to rush into the trust
fight, but he may offer a resolution
providing for a searching inquiry by
congressional committee into the
operations of the International Paper
company. This inquiry, If held, will
touch upon the sources of supply, the
methods of manufacture and the man
ner of distribution of the products of
wood pulp.

BRYAN MEN FEAR STAMPEDE
Uninstructed Delegates Numerous In
Illinois Convention.

Chicago, April 20-New turns of
veloped situation, that caused the
state leaders to ponder seriously on
the chances for a stampede at Spring
field next Thursday that might line
up Illinois for Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota Reports from down
state indicated that the Minnesota ex-
ecutive was exhibiting remarkable
strength and that the anti-Bryan men
would be at the convention In suffi-
cient numbers to make stubborn
fight at least for the sending Of an
uninstructed delegation to Denver.
The developments that indicated to
the eyes of the weatherwise possible
stampede toward Johnson were:
Kane county Democratic committee
at Geneva adopted resolutions endors
ing both Bryan and Johnson and gave
it's delegates no instructions. The
meeting was strongly for the Mime
sofa man.
Coles county Democrats at Mattoon,
after two hours of wrangling, declined
to endorse Bryan and elected seven
teen delegates without instructions
John F. Hopkins returned from Eu-
rope and was asked to attend the state
convention and to introduce John
son resolution.
Reports from down state indicate
that many counties will have unin-
structed delegates at Springfield and
that they will make strong fight
against instructing the national dele
gates for Bryan.

MARRIED IN GERMAN TOWN
Paris Paper insists Anna Gould Is
Princess de Sagan.

Paris, April 20-The Cride Paris,
which processes to chronicle the do
ings of the fashionable set of Paris,
insists that the marriage of Madame
Anna Gould, formerly the wife Of
Count Boni de Castellane, and Prince
Helie de sagan, his cousin, already
has taken place. The paper announced
some time ago that this marriage had
been celebrated secretly in Germany.
Now 1t says:
1--WE are now in position to COM
plete our information. This marriage
was celebrated secretly in a little
town on our Eastern frontier. When
in New York Madame Gould informed
her family that her wedding already
was an accomplished fact and this Is
why the members of her family SO
quickly consented"

QUESTION OF WEALTH
Sole Reason for Objection to DR..
Hill by German Emperor.
TOO POOR TO LIVE IN STYLE
Congressman Longworth Discusses In
cdent During Debate on the Diplo-
matte Appropriation Bill in the
House of Representatives.

Washington, April 20.-"The objec-
tion to DR.. Hill as ambassador to Rer-
lin was simply and solely that his pri-
vate fortune would not enable him to
represent properly the dignity of the
American nation"
This statement was made in the
house Of representatives by Mr.. Long
worth of Ohio during the considera-
tion of the diplomatic appropriation
bill. Mr.. Longworth was making a
plea for the maintenance by the gov
ernment of suitable legation buildings
at the various foreign capitals. He
referred to the press dispatches stat
ing that the German emperor had re-
fused to accept Mr.. Hill and to the
official denial given to the published
stories. Nevertheless" said Mr..
Longworth, there is no doubt that
there was a foundation for these
stories beyond mere rumor and it Is
undoubtedly true that persons high
In authority in Germany for some time
have been saying that DR.. Hill was
not persona gratissima to the en-
peror."
Poverty the Only Drawback.
These objections, however, he de-
clared, could not be because DR.. Hill
was not experienced in diplomacy, nor
sufficiently learned in international
1a n no Cuf
able and representative. They were,
he asserted, due entirely to the fact
that because he was not sufficiently
well off to pay the difference be-
tween the amount paid him as salary
and the amount necessary to maintain
his position as ambassador he would
not only not be able to keep up such
an establishment as that of the pres
ent American ambassador but would
not be able to keep up any establish
ment at all"
Mr.. Longworth said that without
going into the question as to whether
Mr.. Tower had maintained so luxuri-
Gus an establishment everybody would
concede that the American ambassa-
dor to Germany should at least have
a house to live in and not be com
PEELED to live in hotel or fiat.
"It Is no excuse" he said, that we
do not act because financial conditions
do not warrant the expense. An Office
holding aristocracy is bad enough In
any country when based on birth and
blood, but when based on wealth it is
infinitely worse, and worse than al
in a republic"

italian Squadron Ordered to Turkish
Waters

Rome, April 20.-Orders have been
issued for an Italian squadron to make
a demonstration In Turkish waters,
the reason being that Turkey has OBJ
jected to the opening of Italian post
Offices in Turkish territory such as
are maintained by other countries.
This proposed demonstration is in no
way connected with the Tripoli situa-
tion, which arises from the murder of
an Italian missionary and the perse-
cution by the Ottoman authorities of
natives who have sold land to Italians.
The battleship commanded by the
Duke of the Abruzzi forms part of the
squadron. Orders have been issued
for the duke to be ready to sail with

A Word From Uncle Jake.

Ben Hill County needs a good
Court house and Jail built for ben
eft and comfort leave off the orna-
mental post. If man had fifty
thousand dollars worth in diamonds
gold rings and kept them to look
at, where is his income? We need
a benefit outof all we have, let us
think for ourselves. Our people
made mistake when they voted
county school tax let us vote out
that and twenty-five cents on the
hundred will build us court house
and Jail and then it will be built
and paid for. Let this generation
pay its own contracts, the next do
the same. If we bond the county
let us say fifty thousand we can
meet the rest Let our county
commissioners do all they know tc
save unnecessary expenses. Good
management is worth a WI ole lot
