a sHEEP-As generally is the case on a
saturday, the sheep barn was bare OF
iresh receipts this morning.
A big drop in lambs, with the sorting
considerably heavier than last week were
the outstanding features OF the trade this
week. The receipts aggregate some 42.Hl
mead being in the neighbo hood OF $3.50
more than last week and 10 SS6 more than
during the same week last year. These
nberal receipts led the packers to or
ganize a bear raid on the lamb market,
which resulted in lambs at the close Of
the week selling fully Jou6Oc lower than
a week ago. Considering the sorting was
heavier at the close OF the week the de-
cine in many cases amounts to a little
more than this. Notwithstanding heavy
sorts the packers took the bulk OF the
Eeconds and culls and il was not until late
IN the week before the feeder buyers got
N and secured any feeding grades and
then were able to buy only a few, most
OF the lambs sold for feeding purposes
going largely at a range OF S6.5OQf6. IS. The
quality OF the offerings as rule was
very good on all days quite natural to
expect when prices are on the downward
trend trade was slow most OF the time,
yet IN the end everything was sold and
few II any offerings were held over from
one day to another and little stuff was
shipped further east, South Omaha taking
practically everything coming this way at
level of prices comparatively high for
this time Of the year, Notwithstanding the
big slump In values.
Owing 10 the fact that aged sheep have
been In moderate supply prices have held
up remarkably well and in consequence
yearlings wethers are quotably no more
than lO4l5c below last weeks quotations.
Feeding grades have been in evidence,
though feeding yearllngs might be quoted
around S5.OOG5 80, wethers. $4.O0Gt4b0. and
ewes. SO O1a350 A larger business in this
branch of the trade is looked for next

IN March, 1911, the body Of young Rus
sian Andrew Yashinsky. was found In
= a cave on the outskirts Of kiev. Russia.
He had died from number OF KNIFE
..gnnns few days later Mendel Bells,
a Jew of Kiev, an honest hard working
artisan, was arrested charged with the kill
ing of Yushinsky. The Russian police, back
ed by the powerful anti-Semtic element
brought forth the utterly baseless and
wicked superstition of ritual murder the
charge that the blood of Christian Is USED
in Passover ceremonies. This they advanced
as motive for the death of the boy.
At once the plot behind the arrest OF Bells
became apparent. The cry of ritual muir
der" has always been potent to arouse the
passions of the ignorant and TO turn loose
a flood of slaughter and rapine. If such
charge could be proven" against Bells po-
gram after pogram could be melted, thOus-
ands of Jews would be massacred and the
remnants of the race left In Russia could
be oppressed with still greater cruelty.
With the full understanding of this plot,
the entire civilized world arose in protest.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-22
Revelations of Brutality and Heartess Oppression of
the Jews in Russia by the Man Whose Farcica Trial
for Ritual Murder" Aroused the Civilized World

Influential and rich Hebrews. fully realiz-
ing what a conviction would mean to their
race pledged fortunes in his support. Never
theless the police went on with the trial.
But the sentiment aroused against them
was too great. Their perjured and cOerced
witnesses were discredited and finally after
two years of Imprisonment Bells was de-
clared not guilty and was released.
Bells himself is now in Palestine.
Before he left Russia Mendel Bells was
persuaded to write his memoirs for this
newspaper Important as they are for the
hitherto imprinted details of his own per-
secutiOn, they are still more important for
the light thrown for the first time upon the
actual conditions of existence of millions
of Jews in Russia. For Mende Bells, no
matter how profound and poignant the in
dignatiOn and sympathy for him individu-
ally. has his greatest importance in that he
is type an object lesson, of the sufferings
and tyranny hundreds of his race have un-
dergone and are undergoing in the Cars
land.
Following is the first chapter of MendeI
Beilis's own story.

The Journey Beyond THE Pale"


Unfortunately, my father had not sufficient
capital to carry successfully the new busi-
ness and after two or three years all his money
had gone and he was a ruined man.
At this time my parents had eight children
four boys and four girls. without penny in
the world, my father did not know which way
20 turn to support us. NeScherow left but little
opening for man without capital, and, there
fore he made up his mind TO leave the village
and try what he could do in larger place.
Every one in NeSChcrow loved him. Christians
as well as Jews. All were grieyed at the Idea OF
his leaving Our Jewish friends came and vol
unteered TO lend him money. Numbers OF
Christians came to the house and begged him To
