Exodus Result of Order of Russian
Government Enforcing the Orig
inal Segregation Law.

ST PETERSBURG, May 26.-The exo-
dus of Jewish families from kiev has
begun. Up to last night 800 prescribed
families belonging exclusively to the
poorest classes had left. The expulsion
Is attended with narrowing sights.
The exodus is compulsory, and in ful-
hllment of the order Of the Russian gov
eminent that all Jews who cannot estab-
lish a legal claim to residence outside the
pale return forthwith to the confines de-
fined in the original Jewish segregation
law The pale was formed by the Polish
provinces and the Ukraine.
The scenes in the streets of kiev YES
ferday were affecting. The evicted ones
were veritabe paupers, lacking all means
of Sustenance. For the moment the Jew
ish families possessing some means were
undiSturbed.
Scenes of Confusion.
Throughout the day a struggling train
OF wagons passed out the city gates. car

and sad-faced men were alike escorted
outside the town limits and told to re-
turn ia the places of their birth.
different procedure is adopted toward
the Jews who have some wealth. They,
however. are put TO great expense, being
obliged 70 return to their native towns
to secure new permits for visit to kiev
on the ground of urgent personal busi-
ness. These permits are issued for limited
terms and so require frequent re-
newal at the mercy of the police officials.
The authorities explain that part of
the number being expelled are recent ar
rivals in kiev. and that the expulsion is
an annual occurrence following the Gus
tornary spring influx of Jews from sur
rounding localities. who are trying to
gain a foothod in Kiev.

Boston Exposition Urged.

James Monroe OF Boston was given a
hearing before the committee in the in

said all he asked was that the govern

Plan That Has Failed.

1.-The advantages of a plan whereby all
contributions by employees and the govern
ment are thrown into a lump sum. fiat
rate being deducted from all salaries.
and then all pensions paid out of this
fund. are so obvious that 1t is always the
first plan to receive consideration. France,
Holland and Turkey have such plans, and
many countries formerly did. The two
great objections TO this class of plans are
its actuarial unsoundpess and the strong
objections OF the employees after it has
once begun 10 work out results.
IF the service always continued at the
same number of employees, with a stated
number coming in and going out each
year, this plan would be sound from the
standpoint of the actuary. but in reality
the deductions from salaries to pay the
present demands for pensions are based
on the number now in the service, while
the number of pensions is regulated not
nv the number now in the service but by
the number OF men arriving at pension
able age. which Is a factor dependent
upon how fast the service was growing
thirty or forty years previously.
..There is some analogy between this
and the systems of fraternal assessment
insurance organizations. The experience
of a number of countries has shown this
trouble. particularly France and New
Zealand.

Queer Old Australian Tradition About

The aboriginal blacks of Australia
have n queer tradition about the flood.
They say that at enc time there was
no water on the earth al all except in
the body of an Immense frog. where
men and women could not Get Mt it,
There was 4 great council ON the sub
iect. and it was found out that if the
frog could be made to laugh the wa
ters would run out of his mouth and
the drought be ended.
SO several animals We're made to
dance and capcr before the frog to in
ducc him to laugh, but he did not even
smile, aud SO the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened To
think of the queer contortions into
which the eel could twist itself. and ii
was straigltway BROUGHT before the
frog, and when tic frog saw the wrig-
Cling he laughed SO loud that the
whole earth tremble,, and the waters
poured out of his mouth in Il great

drowned.

Curiosities of Superstition.

civilized and delighted in being called

even i'll this form of Worship In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with IA circular white spot Z. the ex-

was the signal of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warn.
ing to Every Man and
Woman

The newspapers and medical
journals have had much to say
relative to a famous million
aires offer of a million dollars
for a new stomach.
This great multi milliofa ire
was too busy to worry about
the condition of his stomach.
He allowed his dyspepsia to
run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurable.
His misfortune should serve as
a warning to others. Every
one who suffers with dyspepsia
for a few years will give every
thing he owns for q new stom-
ach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric
juices. There is one element
missing Pepsin The absence
of this destroys the function of
the gastric fluids. They lose
their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply
the pepsin in a form almost
Identical to that naturally
created by the system when
in normal health, so that it re-
stores to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and thus
makes the stomach strong and
well.
We want every one troubled
with indigestion and dyspepsia
to come to our store and obtain
a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets. They contain Bismuth.
Subni5rate and Pepsin pre-.
pared by a process which de.
velops their greatest power te
overcome digestive disturbance
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
,yery pleasant to take. They

Modale, Ia, March TO-
Frank Benin started for Mis-

make their future home, al

Mr.. Benin and family have
been residents of Clay town

here from Cummings County,
Neb., in 1882, and resided in
the same section ever since, be-
ing one of Clays most energetic
and progressive farmers and
stock raisers and will continue
along the same lines in johnson
County, Mo, where he owns a
section Of land, which is surely
in good stock raising section.
Mr.. Benin chartered three
stock and two emigrant cars,
which carried nearly 100 head
of stock, among them one Of
the best herds of Red Polled
cattle in the state of Iowa, also
a half car of fine Chester
White hogs.
Mr.. Benin will continue to
farm and raise stock, and will
handle pure bred stock exclus-

Edged With bitches.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty. Il strip taken from somebody's
ltEd. This is done much against the
Will of the owner, since he not only
luses tho use of it, but also still has to
lAy taxes on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
cam pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu-
ally grows lower. and after awhile 1t
becomes; Il drain for the surrounding
fields. a current forms in the rainy
season. Which still further hollows it

that IL roaA Il thousand years old be-

These whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge of their
farms instead of cutting across them.
ard this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often SO crooked
that one nE;y have to so considerable
distance TO reach a place that is in re-
ality but Il few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.
