HOPELESS HORROR OF
THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

The hopeless horror of the present
Russian situation is clearly and graph
ically set forth in Poverty and Dis
content in Russia" by George Kennan
in McClure's. Mr.. KEENAN, writes:
IF the janitor of a tenement house
should notify the owner of the exist
ence of a smoldering fire in the base
ment, and If the owner, instead of TAX
ing measures to e~xtinguish the fire,
should have the ~janitor locked up for
giving information that might alarm
the tenants and 'unsettle their minds
we should regard such owner as an eX-
tremely irrational person, if not an out
and-out lunatic; and yet, this is the
course that the Russian Government
has been pursuing for the past quarter
of a century. Again and again it has
closed statistical bureaus of the zemst-
vos, and in some cases has burned their
statistics, simply because the carefully
collected material showed the existence
of a smouldering fire of popular dis
tresS and discomfort in the basement of
the Russian state. Now that the long
hidden fire has burst into a blaze of
agrarian disorder, the government is
trying to smother it with bureaucratic
measures of relief, or to stamp it out
with troops, military courts and punt
tive expeditions, but the action comes
too late. The economic distress which
a quarter of a century ago was mainly
confined to a few districts or provinces
has now become almost universal"
A Russian Senator after an official
tour reported:
I'm almost every village the penni-
less class Is constantly growing, and,
at the same time, there is a frightfully
rapid increase in the number of fam
lilies hat are passing from compare
tive prosperity to poverty, and from
poverty to a condition in which they
have no assured means of support.
Zone might have expected the gov
eminent to do something for the relief
of a population suffering from such
poverty as this, but, instead of aiding
the sufferers, it punished the persons
who called attention to the distress
One member of the Voronezs district
committee, DIR. Martinez, was exileC
to the subarctic province of Archangel;
two, Messrs. Shcherbfn and Bunakof
were arrested and put under police
surveillance; and two more, Messrs
Bashkevich and Pereleshin, We're re-
moved from their positions in the
zemstvo and forbidden thenceforth to
hold any office of trust in connection
| with public affairs"

PERSIAN SHEEP BRING
NEW WEALTH TO TEXAS,

Zone of our veteran cattlemen, the
millionaire ranchmen. Colonel Charles
Goodnight, has in his old age found out
a new source of wealth for Texas said
Thomas s.. Gale, a breeder of fine cattle
from San Antonio, Tex. to the Balti-
more News.
Colonel Goodnight has been expert
menting with Persian sheep and his
success has been equal to his most
sanguine hopes. On the Goodnight place
there is the biggest flock of these yalu-
able animals in the United States, about
200 in all. including mixed bloods. From
the lambs of this sheep come the mag
nifcent skins out of which are manu-
featured the costly caps, cloaks and
ladies' capes and muffs so greatly priced
by people of luxurious tastes. Even
the cheaper grades run into the hun
dreds of dollars. while the finer ones
bring $1,000 to $4,000. The wool is jet
black and the kinky, curly hairs give a
garment a particularly rich effect.
ut is Colonek Goodnight's belief that
the Southwestern country is %splendidly
adapted to producing this species, for
the Persian sheep will live and grow fat
on the slimmest vegetation, eating ever
the meanes weeds. 1t is an odd look
ing animal. with a long flap hanging
down behind that looks like the skirt
of a saddle. This appendage is a lumr
of fat, which sustains the life of the
animal when the grazing plays out; il
is a reserve store of s%ustenance, and is
also good for man to eat, being as
sweet and nutritious meat as one ever
tasted. Colonel Goodnight says that
the Persians o well with any of our
domestic sheep, especially the Shrop-
shires. The yearling half-breeds at
tain a weight of 100 pounds and at two
years they are of enormous size. They
are uncommonly hardy and seem im-
mune to every form Of disease"

A lady, writing in the Ladies Home
Journal, tells why she would not again,
were she single, marry her husband.
And here are some Of the reasons: AS
soon as they were married he ceased to
be a lover. He never praised her,
taking everything as matter OF course.
He failed 10 show her the same c.,urte-
GUS treatment he did other ladies. He
at once quit putting his best foot for
ward, and exhibited his selfish, coarser
Size. He was selfish, compelling her
TO beg for every cent, and making hel
give an accounting for the last penny.
He INDUCED in tobacco when it was
distasteful to her, and showed himself
to care nothing for her feelings. Every
husband in the land ought to read
this article and then honestly invoice
himself.

LETTER FROM
CALIFORNIA
Elmer MOrine Writes An Inter.
esting Letter To the Tribune
From the Golden State.

Kingsbug, Calif., Aug. Is, 1868.
To the Willmar Tribune and it's
many Readers
have thought time and again to
drop you a few lines to let you
know that we are still in the Golden
state Of California and enjoying
ourselves very much out here. We
are having cool and fine weather
now. The month of July was a hot
month. the thermometer register
ing 116 degrees in the shade on
some days, but the air is lighter
here so we don't feel the heat as
we did in Minnesota.
The fruit crop is not quite as
good this year as it was last year.
Picking and cutting peaches is the
order of the day now. Grapes will
be ripe in about 10 days.
Land is selling at about $25 to
$125 per acre for unimproved, and
improved land from $3.50 to $500
per acre. A 20-acre farm here is
equal to a 160-acre farm in Mime
sofa in regard to income from it.
Alfalfa can be cut up to six times
a year. l cut mine six times last
year and will do the same this year.
Good alfalfa land will bring in
about $500 per acre per year.
The water is very good, but not
as cold as it was in Minnesota.
You can dri1k quart Of it at a
time and feel good from it. 1t is
very soft.
l must not forget to tell that
Kingsburg is now incorporated as
a city and the saloons are voted out
and it is dry town. Temperance
and prohibition are gaining very
fast out here. The wineries are
full of liqour and they won't buy
more grapes this year than they
have already contracted for. If
temperance work still keeps grow
ing as it has done these last two
years, the whole state will go dry.
Last Wednesday morning, Aug.
IL, Rev. Karl E. Peterson passed
away after suffering for IA years
from tuberculosis. At the time of
his death he was 43 years, 2 months
and 5 days old. He leaves a wife,
two sons and one daughter to
mourn his departure. Rev. Peter
son was we'll acquainted in Svea
and Lake Lillian, Minn., where he
once had charge Of a Swedish Mis-
sion church. He was man that
was loved by all who knew him,
and has been a faithful worker for
his Lord and Master, and his life
will long be remembered.
Yours truly,
F. E. MOrine.
