Don't Come Back Too Soon

The plague is now abating in our
midst, not because it is satiate with de-
struction, but because the victims of
its appetite are not so plentiful. This
fact will u many to forget the dam
gers that work unseen, and forthwith
our absentees will be returning. While
nothing would be more cheering than to
see their once happy faces, let us tell
them plainly, earnestly. aff~ectionately,
as they value II cir own lives, as they
value the peace and hope of the few
here who have outlived the battle, stay
away! stay away! until the ~incontesti-

wish to see our friends, even more than
they do us, but do not wish to see our
little town again a nursery for the sick
and u graveyards again open recepta-
Giles for the dead. Friends and fellow
citizens, will you hear and heed this?
AS many of our readers in the coun-
try are anxious to know who OF our cit
liens have died during this terrible
plague in the midst of which our little
town has been for the past six long,
sad and dreary weeks, we publish as
correct a list of names of the whites as
we can obtain. The names of a great

learn, and for want of time we are
compelled to omit until some future is

below a correct list of all the whites
who have died up to 2 O'Clock Friday
afternoon, our usual hour for going to
press. Few of our fellow citizens will
be able to read it through e'er the
startling tear will disclose the fact
that some loved and cherished one has
gone from the enjoyment of earthly
friendship, the e of earthly love.
Most of these names, known as they

For the timely aid from the north

in the shape of contributions both of
money and supplies; how shall We thank
the generous donors? 1t will not per-
haps be our privilege to know but few,
if any of the great number from all
over this great Union who remembered
us in mercy when We were not able to
help ourselves. But to each one,
wherever he or she may reside, in the
name of all the living citizens here or
elsewhere, we extend to such the
thanks Of unfeigned gratitude. When
We remember how powerless and pros
trate we were in our dire necessities,
and how quick the people all over this
Great Republic responded to our call
for help, we a only say just now,
from the very depths of our hearts,
God bless the generous givers.
To the individuals who came to help
US, and performed their work in the
true spirit of christian philanthropy, we

not be long enough to pay. The high

our association we can and do thank
God for such noble specimens of hui

citizens who remained to perform a no

forming the second base of DR.. Mawson,s
Australian Antarctic expedition, lived on a
glacier for a year, and discovered a great
tract of lanl, with $50 miles of coastline.
This land, which probably extends to the
Pole itself, has been named Queen Marys
Land,
Speaking to Reuters representative, Mr..
Wild said: owe prepared for a winter in our
glacier home. We dug a tunnel with caves
to hold our stores, and this was entered by
means of a trap door on the top raised above
the snow. We had regular routine meals ut
stated hours, work in morning, and afternoon
off, and we amused ourselves with hockey,
f otball and skiing in fine weather, and
chess, d~raughts, and cards when unable to
venture out. Every Sunday I conducted
Divine Service in the morning, and we dlG

Condemnation By The Duma.

ST. Petersburg, June 4.
Much Significance is attached to the fact
that an Octobrist resolution condemning the
Ministry of the Interior was yesterday adopt
ed in the Duma by 1G4 votes to 1T. The
resolution, which was couched in the most
definite terms, attacked tire Ministry for CON
tlnuing to govern under exceptional law by
illegally prolonging the status which lapsed
in 1907 and so destroying all respect for the
ordinary law and promoting hostility to the
Government. 1t further charged the Ad-
ministration with delaying the task of re-
forms admitted to be necessary and foresha-
dowed in the Imperial Manifesto Of October,

different nationalities Of the Empire by its
