While Shaving all day in Chicago
sweatshops, studying philosophy at
night and composing the novel
Miss Rabinovitch's own destiny
turned into as tragic crisis as
that which befell her heroine. She
was a pretty young Jewish exile,
who had fled from Russia to es-
cape the prosecutions of Slav Jew
haters. With her came her ."soul
sister," Bertha Yablonsky, another
dark, young Jewish beauty, who
feared to remain where she might
be the victim of brutal soldiers.
The girls studied philosophy, So
sialism, science, anarchism and the
classics. Their minds were fed on
the protests Of the master minds of
the world against the cruelty of
men to men. Miss Rabinovitch con-
ceived the idea of making Bertha
Yablonsky her "Karina Levinsky, y
sending her to Russia to execute
the plot of the novel in reality.
In a tiny, dark room paid for out
Of their wages of 81 week as
sweatshop slaves the girls had a
store of literary masterpieces over
which they nightly pored as long as
their tired eyes would permit.
Once a week Miss Rabinovitch
called a meeting of Group 49," The
enthusiastic young anarchists, most
of whom were of the same race and
nationality as the girls, joined in
approval of Annals plans. She was
styled a second Emma Goldman.
but gerater than Goldman, because
Goldman is only philosophical an,
archist, while Anna Rabinovitch is

What are the things of life?'
this morbid girl once asked. Il be-
lieve as Schiller that Whatever
lives, lives to die in sorrow. We
engage our hearts after the things
of this world only to undergo the
pang of losing them
The first real shadow that came
over these girls, basking in the
light of their philosophy, was when
Barnard Kamenetzky, handsome
young Jewish immigrant, joined
them. He first began 'platonic
friendship with the girl political
dreamer and novelist.
They were intellectual affinities

STRANGE STORY OF RUSSIAN
GIRL EXILE IN CHICAGO;

PIER, WRITER.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-"My whole
life has been the travail of soul
My birth brought death to my
mother. To my father my life
brought woe, to me misery. Now
that / have assassinated the mon
ster of modern Russia and brought

In this speech, Katrina Levinsky,
the heroine of an unfinished novel,
translated the intense emotionality
of Anna Rabinovitch, it's 20 year
old author, a university student,
and the Queen of Group 10 of the
Chicago anarchists" Karina's life
was the ideal of Miss Rabinavitch.

CENTRAL FIGURE IS ANNA

GIRL is BERTHA YABLONSKY;
THE MAN is HE THEY BOTH
LOVED.
their companions declared. There
is another influence in affinities,
and Annals fellow girl anarchists
say she showed the first weakness
when she began to love Kamen-
etzky. An attraction stronger than
intellectual power drew the young
mans nature toward her soul sis
ter" Bertha Yablonsky. Soon the
two were much in each others COM
pany. Their condolences excluded
Anna. The sensitive soul of the
abnormal young woman was stung
to the quick. She quickly reached
a desperate resolve.
The night after the discovery
Anna Rabinovitch bought re-
volver. She spent an hour in
shooting gallery studying its use.
True to her acquired tastes she
selected reading as the means to
the greatest pleasure just before
her death.
Three books were found on the
bed where she laid and read from
dark till daybreak on her last night.
The books were Hamlet" Schil-
ler's THE Robbers" and "Sappho."
Passages containing bitter philo-
sophy were marked in all three.
In the morning when Sunday
bells were ringing the young
woman started out on her mission.
She fastened to the room of her
soul sister," expecting to find
Bertha and Kamenetzky there, in
tending to kill both. But Bernard
was not there.

not come" said Anna. Were he

Killed By Lightning.

j. ]. Nader, who lives mile north
east of Park, was struck by lightning
on Monday about a p. m. and was in
stantly killed. He and his son had just
come in from the field, had unhitched
their hors les and had left the barn when
the lightning struck Nader on the right
side of his head, passing through it and
along the front of his body, tearing his
clothes in it's progress. The boy was
stunned and for some little time was un-
concious. Mrs. Nader saw her hus-
band fall and rushed out and carried
his body into the house. He was about
thirty-one years old, came to Ellis
county from Topeka and was married
at Hays in January 1895 to Miss Lizzie
Stegman. He leaves wife and six
children but had his life insured for
$1,000 and owned 240 acres of fine land

New Ball League.

A movement is on foot amorg local
fans that is proving a winner. The
idea is to organize a Western Kansas
League, including the towns of Hays,
Ellis, Wakeeney, Cove City, Oakley,
Colby, Hoxie, Plainville and Hill City.
The teams from each town are to play
the entire circuit at home, and return
game on the home diamond of each of
the other towns. If ali nine towns
come in it will give each town on the
circuit sixteen good fast games. 1t is
a good chance to whoop it up for wes-
tern Kansas and all the towns interest,"
get busy at once. Four-of
the Eowns have already signifed their
desire to come in. Oakley Graphic
Between our town and Normal talent
Hays can furnish good club and
would give US sixteen good games that
would be worth seeing this summer and
fall and no doubt would be well patro-
nized.

"The Man of the Hour.n

The announcement at the Grand
for near date is George Broadhurst's
greatest of all American plays, 1.-THE
Man of the Hour" One sits down to
this play as he would to good din
ner. The heartiness and wholesome
ness of the characters, together with
the theme of the play itse !, the right
fighting against evil, are among the
things that give the performance its
human quality and cai;se it to appeal
to all. The characters are delightful
cretions, strong and convincing and
thoroughly in keeping with their sur
roundings. THE Man of the Hour
is SO true to life that 1t doesn't seem
like play, and in the illusion that
is created the spectator fancies he is
looking upon real people, doing real
things.

While the play itself is story of

of the old farm life is extensively en-
joyable throughout the first two acts

An Epidemic Of land Sales.

Keosauqua Republican: Not in the
history of Van Buren, county has there
been anything like SO many farms
sold in one locality, and at such high
figures as instanced in the vicinity of
Stockport during the last five or six
days. Three causes are ascribed for it
by our correspondent at Stockport IN
another column, viz: good soil we'll
tiled, good town for local market
and good railroad for facilities. Here
are some of the sales, all transactions
since last Friday:
Jess Shelman farm of eighty acres
about three miles northeast of Stock
port, in Cedar township, 500 an acre,
Albert Harlan purchaser.
Sylvanus Taylor farm of ninety-sev-
en- acres in Cedar township, $50 an
acre. Did not learn purchasers name.
Reuben Harris farm of eighty acres,
short distance west of Stockport, 500
an acre Name of purchaser we did
not get.
James Caffery farm of forty acres,
two miles south of Stockport, 1925 an
acre. Sold to Henry county man.
Miles Shelman farm of eighty acres,
short distance from Stockport, sold to
Bryant Dow tor $3.50 an acre.
George Harlan farm. formerly own
ed by his father, the late Nathan Har-
Ian, consisting OF 1870 acres in Cedar
township, two miles northeast Of
Stockport, $4,000, being right at s1o5
an acre. Sherman Morris gets eighty
acres of this farm and John Bales the
balance. We understand Mr.. Harlan
and family expect to move to Des
Moines.
Brown Hughes farm of 100 acres,
one and half miles north of Stock
port, sold to John Crawford for $110
an acre.
If this record of land sales in Van
Buren, county, covering radius OF not
to exceed five miles, has ever been
eoualed in number and price during
the brief period of four or five days,
we have never heard of 1t. Has any
of our readers?
