Berlin, Dec. 16.-President Castro
of Venezuela maintains his composure
in the face of alarming reports pub
lshed here regarding the disturbances
in Venezuela When dispatches were
shown to him today that the people of
Caracas had arisen against him, burn
ed the pictures and statues of the
president in the public squares and
had made an attack on a number of
public buildings, including the stores
Of some of his warmest adherents, and
that several persons had been killed,
President Castro said
Il don't believe it, | had dispatches
from Caracas this morning, but they
mention nothing of the kind
Castro was asked for an expression
of his views regarding Hollands seiz-
ure of Venezuelan ships, but referred
the correspondent to Senor Veloz Gait
icoa, Venezuelan charge d'affaircs,
whom he authorized to talk for him.
The charge then said:
Il doubt what has been published
with regard to Hollands s aggression,
because no declaration of war has
been made, nor has Il blockade been
announced, and none been established.
Therefore the seizure of small Vene-
zucla vessels by sheer force can not
be described other than as an act of
piracy unworthy of any enlightened
civilized country.
"On the other hand such a course
would jeopardize the arrangements
which Venezuela has proposed to
Holland through confidential agents,
and could even have a worse effect
inasmuch us Venezuela in meeting
payments due to Holland, takes for
that purpose a portion of the pre-
scribed 80 per cent of the customs re-
ceipts. Thus hollands act might
place Venezuela in a position of being
unable to continue payments, which
also would jeopardize the interests of
other nations Holland is in the wrong
ana is still more involved through the
which the Dutch government |
recently has adopted.
In view Of this, the Venezuelan |
government has informed the diplo-
matte corps ut Caracas of these facts
and is waiting before taking any fur
ther steps"

Duke of WeILinqton.

The Iron Duke has always been a
mystery. / have read that he was six
feet four inches tall. ! have read also
that he was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell us he was anywhere
from five feet six inches to five feet
eleven inches. There are some things,
seemingly very simple, which it Is i'm
possible to establish; this is one Of
them. Historians are still guessing
the height of Julius Caesar, the size
of Hannibal's head, the weight of AL
exander the Great and the general di-
mansions of Solomon. Why, we are
not even sure of the stature of George
Washington. 1t might be believed
that Napoleon, Alexander the Great
and Jay Gould were of the same size,
three bumptious little chaps. And it
is common belief that Charlemagne,
Erling the Bold, Frederick the Great,
Robert Bruce, Sir William Wallace,
Gen. Winfield Scott and Richard Occur
de Lion were all top-notchers, "Old
Fuss and Feathers" formed in the
prodigality of nature, leading in glrth
and weight.-New York Press.

StruouIe with a Tiuer,

Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and
Shaikh Abdul CHAM of Moradabad
were dispatched recently to Rampur
on an errand. and while entering
grove at Ghadpura tiger sprang upon
Khuda Bakhs, who, being an athlete,
warded off the blow aimed at him with
his right hand and caught one of the
paws with the other and maintained
his hold, though the tiger was maui
ing the other hand.
Abdul CHAM now rushed up with a
stout stick, which he forced down the
tigers throat, making it release his
brothers hand, when Khuda Bakhs
seized another paw with his wounded
hand, forcing both the paws back
He wrestled with the tiger, keeping it
down by sheer force, while Abdul
CHAM belabored it with his lathi and
killed it.
The tigers was carried by the broth
ers to his highness the nawab of Ram
pur, "who kept the skin as memento
and sent Khuda Bakhs to the state
dispensary for treatment" India

BY His "Piers."

Much feeling has been introduced
into a by-election for councillor at
a Lancashire seaside resort, says
London Tit-Bits. The gentleman who
engenders much of this controversy
was formerly on the council, and was
mainly instrumental in inducing his
colleagues to spend huge sums of
money in the erection of two large
but badly constructed piers. At a
meeting the other night one of his
opponents had permission to propose
an amendment, and after virulently
abusing the candidate exclaimed: Il
have tried him in the balance, and I
have found. him wanting" Whereupon
a member of the audience shouted
out: "Try him again, then. Try him
by his piers"

The government opening of a
million acres of fine agricultural
and grazing lands will probably
occur about Oct. Ist. The Rose
bud extension of the Chicago &
North Western Ry is the only
railway reaching these lands, and
Dallas S. D., is the railway termi-

PRIMARY ELECTION TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday, September 1st,
will be held the Primary election,
and it is the duty of every voter
to go to the polls and help NOM
mate good ticket, irrespective
Of political affiliations. The
primary gives every voter an OPP
portunity to vote for his choice
for United States Senator, Con-
gresham, Assemblyman, state
and county officers, and ali should
avail themselves of the chance
Vot straight party ticket as no
split ticket goes at a primary.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-08-28

just let the republicans select
their own candidates and you GO
into the democratic primaries and
vote for your choice of democrat
ic candidates for Z. S. Senator,
for Congressman and for Cover
nor. Be careful to vote for the
democratic candidate for State
Senator, if in your district, there
is to be one elected and be care
tul also to vote for a democrat for
the Assembly.
This pulling republican chest
nuts out of the fire is a joke on
you. If YOU'RE a democrat, vote
for democratic candidates. When
democrats shirk their party re-
sponsibilities there is nothing in
the act to inspire the convert to
democracy. Every democrat
should 60 to the primaries and
vote for democratic candidates
Every democrat who is loyal to
Bryan and those principles for
which he stands, ought to under
stand his duty.

Artificial Gems.

Last year German association
caused surprise to some scientists and
disbelief in others by the announce
ment that process had been discov-
cred by which most of the precious
stones could be produced by artificial
means.
Recently several official experts
have made an examination of about 40
of these artificial gems In their re.
port to the Museum of Natural His
tory they say:
"Of all the stones We examined, we
can only call the artificial rubies a
direct success, but the imitation OF
this species is no new invention. We
therefore declare that there is moth
ing new or sensational in the new in
vention."

landlady made a mistake or meant TO
give him a quiet dig. He told the
story of one of his own exploits at the
