ASSASSINS SHAY OFFICIALS
 IN THREE COUNTRIES.
Chief of St. Petersburg Secret Police Assassinated in Apartments of Host.


 St. Petersburg, Dec 22-Colonel Karpoff. chief of secret police of St. Petersburg, was assassinated early to- adv He was enticed to a modest apartment in a remote street of the Vibofg district and there was blown to pieces by a bomb exploded suppos- edly by his host, one Michael Voss- kressensky. who had leased the rooms few days before.
 The murderer rushed into the street following the explosion and was cap- tured. An assistant of Karpoff's who had accompanied him was severely in- jured.
 Karpoff was appointed from Baku, where he had been chief of the secret police. There have been several con- victions of bomb makers recently.
 The assassination of Chief Karpoff was undoubtedly in furtherance of the plot against the secret police which grew out of the revelation last Jan uary of some remarkable scandals in connection with the operations of the system. The Russian revolutionary socialists discovered that an unknown number of their members were agents of the secret police. Exposures, charges of disloyalty to the revolutioD- sry cause. and counter charges fol- 1OWCu. kolliCC lnCI lllC ScCItl DOllOC have been the special objects of revolu- tionary hatred and assassination. British Magistrate in Bombay is As-
 sassinated.
 Bombay, British India, Dec. 22.-- Arthur Mason Tippetts Jackson. chief magistrate of Nasik, in the presidency of Bombay, was assassinated by a na- tive while attending a theatrical per- formanec last night.
 The motive for the murder is SUD- posed to have been a wish for revenge upon the ma Sistrate who had recently sentenced a criminal to life imprison- ment.
 Nasik is a hotbed of sedition. Jack son had been in the British Indian ser- vice since 1888.
 Whatever may have been the inn- mediate motive for the assassination of Chief Magistrate Jackson, the out rage cannot fail to increase the ever present fear of an uprising against British rule in India. Attempts have been made in India against the lives of Lord Minto, Lord Kitchener. Sir Andrew Frazier, the lieutenant gov ernor of Bengal, and many other Brit ish offNcials. In one notable instance the purpose of the assassin was ac- complshed On July 1 last Sir Will liam Hut Curzon Wyllie, who had re- gently held important India appoint ments. was murdered at the Imperial institute in London by an Indian stu dent, who was, subsequently, hanged Dr. Cawas Lalcaea, a physician of Shanghai, who was visiting in Lon don, was also killed during the fusii- ade of shots. though his death may not have been intended originally.

SHOOTING UP OF BROWNSVILLE,
 MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY.
One Discharged Soldier Declares His
 Confession Was "a Durn Lie."

Washington, Dec. 22.-In an endeavor to ascertain if Boyd Conyers, one of the colored soldiers discharged as a re- suit of the shooting up of Brownsville, ever confessed to having participated in the affray, the military court of in- quiry today entered into one of the most perplexing incidents of the af- fair.
 William Lawson, the colored detec- tive who made an affidavit setting forth the alleged confession, which wese sent to congress in a special mes- sage, told of the devious ways Of de- tectives. Boyd Conyers related to the court that he himself told Lawson that the alleged confession was "a durn lie" For more than two hours General A. S. Daggett, U. S. A.. retired, and Napoleon B. Marshall, counsel for the colored soldiers tried unsuccessfully to break down Lawson's testimony.
 The court itself smiled as Lawson related how he became acquainted with Conyers at Monroe, Ca, where Conyers lived. He went to a place where he found Conyers loafed and finally they were "introductioned" to one another, Conyers as an ex-soldier and Lawson as a man who travelled great deal. Lawson related how he praised the progress of negroes in Vir- gfnia and how they never stirred up any race trouble, but just tried to get the money He testified that Conyers finally said the Crackers" in Browns vile boasted they were not going to have any colored regiment there and "did up" one of the fellows.
 On cross examination Lawson was asked why he did not try to get some informat ton out of Conyers on a picnic, when Conyers was Lawson's guest, particularly since they sat together on train going to the picnic
 "Oh. now, you know just how they do on a nigger picnic" said Lawson to Attorney Marshall. "They don't sit aown; they just keep running about"
 General Daggett sought to show that Conyers might have been under the in- fiuence of liquor. Lawson admitted he gave Conyers a drink. but claimed that he did not have "unpresence of mind."

in the morning. The assailant was a young Christian who was for many years resident of the United States The premier was riding in his Jinrick- shaw when the assassin came up with a long kitchen knife in his hand. He drove this twice into the abdomen of the premier, and once into his lung. The assassin then turned on the premier's iinrickshaw man, whom he stabbed and instantly killed. The assassin was immediately arrested. He is youth of about 20 years and is be- heved to be a member of a political secret society. The premier was re- moved to the hospital.
 Vi was always credited with foster ing anti Japanese sentiment in Korea. He bitterly opposed the faction among the Koreans which favored an- nexation to Japan and refused to pre- sent a petition for annexation to the Korean emperor. Notwithstanding Yrs known sentiments in regard to the relations between Japan and Korea, Marquis Ito regarded Vi as an honest and conscientious patriot, and refused to listen to the premier's re- peated requests that he be allowed to resign his office. It is believed that the assassination is the result of po- litical intrigue.

WORLDS TALLEsr MAN.
Captain Aueer, Eight Feet High, to
 Live in Bridgeport.

Capt. George Auger, the tallest man in the world. who stands eight feet one inch in his stocking feet, is pre- pairing to make his home in Bridgeport, says the Farmer. He has commission ed William F. O'Hara, restauranteur residence in this city. MT. O'Hara is looking about the city for a house with high ceilings and broad stairways. the door casing of which will admit of ready enlargement, for Captain Auger has to double over like a 1ackknife to enter the ordinary house.
 The famous Welch giant first got acquainted with the advantages of Bridgeport as place of residence when he came here with the Barnum & Bai- ley circus. Later he appeared here during his vaudeville tours and en- joyed royal entertainment at the hands of the Benevolent Order of American Tigers, the organization of circus men with headquarters in this city.
 Last summer Captain Auger visited Bridgeport for a few days, the guest of MT. O'Hara, and in order to escape the gaze of the curious throngs that Ire wont to congregate wherever he is Eeen he lived in privacy at MT. O'Hara's cottage on Steeplechase Isl- and. This week he is in Milwaukee playing a series of engagements on the Orpheum vaudeville circuit. He will probably appear in the spring at Polls theater.
 Captain Auger is said to be the big eest man the world has known. He Is several inches taller than Machnow The famous Russian giant whose height was heralded as nine feet before he was subjected to the scrutiny of a yard etick, A native of Wales. coming from ? family of only ordinary height, Cap- lain Auger has developed symmetri rally. and he is admirably proportion ed. His weight, 3S0 pounds. is declared by physiologists to be ideal for one of bis height, and his limbs and trunk gre in proportion to his remarkable height. He is less than 30 years old
 He first came into public notice when he left his little native village in Vale and went to London. He secured bn appointment as a London bobby but his great stature attracted so much attention that it required other police men to keep the throngs from pressing Pbout him and he soon resigned Then he entered the show world. He has and America with circuses and in vau- devil1e engagements. His wife, charming English girl, five feet six inches tall. has made many friends in Bridgeport.
 During recent visit to Bridgeport Captain Auger secured the largest room in local hotel and ordered two double beds placed in 1t. He managed to sleep by stretching crosswise, but he had to use his own equipment of blankets which he carries along with his theatrical wardrobe.

Absent Minded Dyer.

Charles Lamb had a friend named Dyer. who was perhaps the most ab- sent t-minded man on record. It was Dyer who, leaving Lambs -Islington home at broad monday, walked straight into the New river. He was known to take up a coal scuttle i'm stead of his hat, to walk home with a footman's cockaded hat on, and even to leave one of his shoes under the table and get well on his home ward way before discovering it's loss. He called at a friends one morning. heard that the family was away in the country, left his name in the vis- itors' book-and a few hours later called again, asked for the book and was astonished to see his own freshly written name. Once. when Proctor 'breakfasted with him. Dyer forgot the tea. The omission being noted, he filled the teapot with ginger.
 Proctor left as soon as he could to get better breakfast at a coffee tav- ern; and there Dyer strolled in, and asked him how he did, quite uncon- scious of having seen him earlier.

COME SOUTHWARK.

Just across the .boundry line in
Washington a spike was driven on
the Chicago Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railroad Monday and the act
marked the completion of the new
line from the Bitter Root mountains
to the sound, The new transcontl-
mental line will be entirely finished
soon.
Naturally the building of new
cross continent road through the
state of Washington will be of much
benefit TO that commonwealth. But
compared with Oregon, Washington
was already blessed with good trans
portation facilities. 1t already had
the Northern Pacific, the Great North
ern and the o. R. & n. Aside from
the Northern Pacific branch to PEN
dleton this state has nothing but the
%, R. & N
But some day Oregon, too, will have
more than one railroad. A road or
several roads will be built through
central Oregon. The interior will be
connected with the rest of the north
west and also with California. How
soon this will come about God may
know but the people of Oregon do
not. They have had many promises
upon the subject but nothing in the
way of fulfillment. Hartman has
the state in the hollow of his hand
and he seems TO be awaiting his own
sweet pleasure in the matter of
building new roads.
But if Hartman does not build
within the near future someone else
will From the standpoint of the
state it would be a blessing if anoth-
er road would enter the field. It
would be fine if the Milwaukee"
would head southwark. Oregon would
then be provided with competing lines
as is the state of Washington at this
time.

SONG OF THE TOILER.

sing the joy of the unbroken sleep
with the moon in the cloudless
skies:
stars keep and the night winds
grooming sighs;
I sing the joy of waking day with
the rested limbs astir,
The nerves strained tight for another
fray-a full days work-for
her.
oh, a we'll worth game is the game
with fate on the open field of
life,
A royal game for a mans estate and
the love of a loyal wife,
sing the song of the morning scene,
the smile and the word Of
cheer.
Then the rack and the rub of the dull
routine of mans grim duty
here
!Tis a weary day with the sun o'er-
head and the slow hours drag
ging by,
But a man must toll for his daily
bread in the marts where his
talents lie.
A man must sweat for the boon of
rest and strive for the hour of
bliss
From the morning hour on a wom-
ans breast to the evenings
welcome kiss.
1 sing the song of the whole weeks
work and the pay days liven-
ing, slip;
OF the hours of toll that have known
no shirk and the nerve that has
held its grip
oh, a man must bow and a man must
bend to the lash of an honest
need
To enjoy the peace of the hard
weeks end, and the rest that
is rest indeed!
