BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The agrarian war in
the province Of Tchernigon, Russia, mas
eliminated in a fight in which four
peasants and noble named Kazatclieff
were killed.
BY means of advancing the money in
the security of future labor. Kazatchen
had reduced nearly all the peasants Of
the village of JegorevO to the position
of slaves. When harvest time APP
preached they were forced to work in
his fields and neglect their own farms.
Force was used against malingerers,
and for three years past the country
people had witnessed the strange spec
tacle of men tied by the ankles 10 a
long chain, at each end OF which stood
an Overseer Cf KaZatchem armed with
a whip.
During the peasant riots last au-
tumn, Kazatchen was threatened with
death unless he released the peasants
from their long accommodating debts. He
refused, and when his slaves fed their
villages called N police and Cossacks
10 bring them back.
One day last week. at midnight, a
ferocious mob OF MoUjiks surrounded
Kazatcheff's house. They we're armed
with scythes. and carried a red ban
ner with the words: we demand re-
lease" When Kazatcheff. armed with
a revolver. came out 20 parley, a peas
ant struck him on the cheek with a
scythe. and slit his face from car to
mouth. He threw down his revolver,
began 20 parley, and finally agreed TO
give the besiegers "a complete receipt
for all their debts.
The peasants, drunk with triumph,
now demanded money. Kazaichcff &c

BAD TEMPERED HORSES.
Try the Sugar Treatment Suggested
In the Article Below.

About 30 years ago one of rny neigh
bors had cross stallion. He began
to give sugar to the stallion rigsi
out of his hand; very soon the
man could do most anything with
him.
twenty-five years ago bought 8
high-spirited mare; she was so rest
less that l could hardly hitch her w
in the buggy. l coaxed and pettet
her, fed her on apples; but had t.
jump on the buggy while she started
off. went to using granulated sugar
/ put some sugar in my coat pocket
and whenever hitched her up or un
tied her from hitching post / would
take a handful of sugar and let heI
eat it out of my hand If you hole
the sugar in your hand till 1t gets
warm so much the better. While she
was licking off the sugar would tall
to her, and also pat her on the neck
or scratch her lightly right behind the
ear, and in short time could hang
over the dashboard, help my wife and
daughter into the buggy, tuck in the
blankets, get In myself at leisure, and
when ! took up the lines and gave
the word to go she would walk of
and not start on run as she for
merly did.
1t was the same with her when
hitched her to plow. She wanted tc
start by jumps, but by giving hel
sugar and kind talking, soon had
her gentle. A pound of sugar is bet
ter than dozen whips. Many horse;
have been spoiled by the cruel anG
generally inconsiderate treatment te
which they have been subjected by
ignorant and brutal owners and
drivers.
Very often a bad tempered OF
spoiled horse can be bought very
cheap and by feeding him sugar az
above described he can be made very
docile in a short time and can be
sold at large profit. With kindness
you can do wonderful things.
When was boy my. father gave
me colt. trained him so he would
follow me up pair of steps, would
come and put his head through col

bride bit into his mouth and slip

this would do many other tricks. AT
the age of two and half years
was offered $3.50 for him. Kindn ess

NOuNCE REGULAR COMMITTEES.
POLICE GUARD BIG MEETING
County Executive Committee to Be
Selected from Three Different
Bodies--Crisis Precipitated

Cleveland, o., Jan. 12.-The first
stroke of the Foraker powers here
was made yesterday when at a mass
meeting committee was selected to
displace the regular republican
county executive committee.
The question of the legality of the
committee selected as against the ire
gular" committee said by the Fora
kerites to be Taft organization, will
now be placed In the hands of the
county boards of elections. The
claims of the so-called Roosevelt COM
mittee, a third element In the local
situation, also rest in the same con-
diton.
1t will be the duty of the board to
determine which committee is lawful
and of authority to act for the party
in this county. To place the issue
squarely before the board each COM
mittee has issued a call for the re-
publican primaries, all on the same
date-Feb. IL.
The regular committee held by the
Foraker element to be without au-
thority precipitated the crisis by FL
ing call for the primaries with the

mediately the Foraker faction pro-
tested the rights Of the committee and
issued a call for a convention to Sc
lect a committee. On Friday evening

committee. Yesterday the Foraker
committee was named.

CHOKING of Animals.

Hardly farmer has not had more
or less ext erience with animals be-
ing choked. This can be remedied to
a very erea, extent, or can be re-
lieved. While animals will get choked
once in %bile !. can be helped. The
simplest thing /, do which may save
the life of Q valuable animal and will
not hurt it, is 10 insert piece of COM
mon rubber hose about six feet long
down the cows neck; perhaps 1t
would be well to hold the animals
mouth open with a cord until you
strike the apple, or whatever it is that
chokes her. Often the apple is so
swelled, or so firmly wedged, as to be
difficult to stir. Run buggy whip
down this rubber pipe. The pipe will
fit against that apple, so there will BIO
no danger Of making any hole in the
animal's gullet. Pres5 the end of the
whip carefully down untn it reaches
the stomach. The gas will escape
quickly through the pipe and the ami
NAL will be relieved. DIR. E. e Tower.

SIXTEEN CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Stampede, From No Known Cause Re.
sponsIble for the Slaughter.

Barnsley, York, England, Jan. H.
The senseless stampede Of crowd OF
people in theater of this city re-
suited yesterday in a shocking dis
aster. Sixteen persons, including a
number of children in arms, were
crushed to death by the frantic eff
forts of the crowd to get clear Of
the building, and many others were
injured. And all for no reason. There
was no danger, no fire, only the unac-
countable panic of the crowd that
found its egress from the theater
hampered by its members.
There had been a performance for
children at Harvey institute. The hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity
and many persons had been refused
admittance at the door. At the con-
clusion of the performance an mex
plicable mad rush was made for the
exits, and 1t was there that the fear
full and fatal crush occurred. The
weaker went to the ground and were
trampled to death by the stronger.
Lives were crushed out and limbs
were broken by the frantic people
as they struggled and fought to make
their way to the open.

VARIETY IN HOG FEED.
The Animals Do Better When Given
Many Kinds.

There are some very important con-
siGerations in feeding swine which
should not be lost sight of, The hog
by nature is an omnivorous animal
and readily eats great variety OF
food. Though domesticated for many
years he has not lost his natural in
sttncts and loves to roam the fields
and woods In search of various roots
and plants and Is not averse to eating
meat Of various kinds whenever oppor-
tunity affords. This love of a great
variety of food is SO deeply rooted In
the hog as to have made permanent
impression upon the character of his
teeth which are adapted not only to
the grinding Of grain but also to the
tearing asunder Of flesh. This of It.

the feeder of the advisability Of vari-

Is most desirable end to attain, and
this of itself would amply reward the

The mere fact that the hog has
ravenous appetite and will eat practi-
cally anything that is placed before it
should not render 1t insensible to the
value of variety of food. The In

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
