Tssues Public Announcement to the
Inhabitants Of Austria
Hungary.

PETROGRAD, September 17.-By order
of Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-
chief of the Russian forces, the pubic
announcement, printed in nine OF the
principal languages Of Austria, Is being
distributed in the Austrian d1strlcts
captured by the Russians:
THE inha bitants of Austria Hungary
"The government Of Austria declared
war against Russia because the great
empire, ever faithful to its historical
tradition, could not forsake inoffensive
Seryia nor acknowledge Its enslavement.
ION entering the Austro-Hungarian
territory I declare In the name of the
great emperor, that Russia, which has
shed It's blood many times for the eman-
cipation of nations from the foreign
yoke, only seeks the rehabilitation of
rights and justice.
Says Russia Brings Liberty.
Russia also brings liberty and the
realization of your national vows. For
many centuries the Austro-Hungarian
government planted among you discord
and enmity, for it knew that as a result
of this strife it's dominion over you
would continue.
''On the contrary, my sole aim Is that
each and every one of you may grow
and prosper. and keep at the same time
the precious inheritance of language and
faith of your fathers
Let every one of you. united to his
brothers. live in peace and harmony
with your neighbors. respecting their
national rights. Being convinced that
you will cooperate with all your
strength to realize this end, l call upon
you to welcome the Russian troops AZ
faithful friends who are fighting for the
realization of your greatest ambitions"

imperial government to set aside the
capitulations, Furthermore. this gov
eminent does not recognize that the
Ottoman government has right TO
abrogate the capitulations. or that It's
action to this end being unilateral can
have any effect upon the rights ana
privileges enjoyed under the capitula-

OBITUARY

Lumira Skeels was born neal
Watertown, N. Y, March 6
1910, and died in Springfield
Colorado, March 1. 1914, ut the
home of her daughter, Mabel G
Oldem.
She Was the second child o.
a family of four children, to boys
and two girls, all of whom have
passed over
6he was among the pioneers
i who crossed the Rocky Noun
tains in the early sixties to pave
the way for civilization, and she
could tell of many daring and
thrilling experiences with the
Indians who infested the
country at that time.
She always showed bravery
in times of great trial and had
an exceedingly kind and sym
pathetic disposition.
She was married to Mr.. J. "
Abrams on the Goth of October,
1878. He and two daughters,
Mrs. F. E. Lamport and Mrs.
Mabel G. Oldem, survive her.
She was sick only three days,
having been taken with some.
thing like La Grippe. She was
not thought seriously i'll until a
few hours before her death.
She always spoke of death with.
out fear, further than the neces-
sity of lingering, for she was a
christian, and had lived n life OF
devotion and service. She al
ways spoke Of death in a conf
dent spirit, sincerely believing
that hereafter love will find it's
own, and the separation from
the loved ones here, and the
greeting of loved ones there, is
practically simultaneous.
The greatest consolation to her
bereaved family is positive,
happy Thought that she has on
ly passed from the loved ones
here to the loved ones in the life
beyond. s----.----..
