A SSASSINA TON OF THE RUSSIAN
PREMIER.

Peter A. Stolypin, prime minister
of the Russian cabinet, was shot and
MORALLY wounded by Dimitry Bog
rolf, Jewish lawyer, during thepro-
gress of a gala performance in the
municipal theatre at Kiev the night
of Thursday, September A. Althoug
the wounds were not at first con-
sidered fatal and a speedy recovery
of the prime minister seemed likely
to ensue, a turn for the worse took
place in his condition three days
later and he passed away on the 18th
instant in great suffering.
The assassin was rescued by the
police from the Infatuated spectators
of the murderous assault, who would
have trampled and beaten him to
death if the interference of the po-
lice had been delayed. The pris
oner has assigned no reason for his
deed, and it is not known as yet
whether he acted on his own initia-
tive or was the chosen instrument
of some revolutionary society to
wreak vengeance upon the Russian
powers that be. He is to be tried
by courtmartial before the end of
the present month, and the outcome
can be readily foreseen.
M. Kokovsoff, minister of finance,
was appointed prime minister imme-
diately after the shooting Of Premier
Stolypin and will doubtless retain
the office permanently.
Car Nicholas and his family were
in the inperial box at the theatre
when the tragedy occurred, and the
car did much to restore order and
arouse the audience to enthusiasm
by commanding the orchestra to play
the national anthem, in the singing
of which the entire assembly joined.

Health Thoughts.
By La. State Board of Health

BY La. State Board of Health.
Life is short at its longest.
Our first duty is to keep ourselves
we'll.
The aim of all public health work is
the prevention of disease.
Detective sanitation means defect
i've civilization.
A death from a preyentable disease
is an untimely death-live right
and die natural death.
In the conservation Of health an
ounce of intelligence is worth a
ton of ignorance.
A decreasing death-rate is the best
evidence of sanitary progress in
a community.
What some economical CD people
keep from the doctor they give
to the undertaker-and then some
What is the matter with making good
health conditions better? Worth
trying, isn't it?
AS you go through life take the sunny
side of the street. Shade and
shadow are not good for health.
Build your reputation for civic pride
in your back yard
Life is short-far too short for
many Of us-much shorter than
it need be for all of us, Saner
living for the longer life.
"The conservation of public health
should be the twentieth century
battle cry. Let every one take
it up.
