are receiving public support through
about fifty public tea houses. The
Weather classes fled the country be-
fore tht Russians. The tradesmen that
remained are doing thriving business
Large numbers of peasants and VIII
layers from all parts of Galicia have
drifted into the capital to swell the
numbers Of the beneficiaries Of chari-
ty.
The Russian armies are we'll provis-
toned and the soldiers dinner kettle is
always at the disposal Of any hungry
person.
In addition sundry philanthropic So
cieties have been organized in Russia
to supply the material and spiritual
necessities of the people. Count Vlad-
imir Bobrinsky, a member of the Du-
ma, is the president of the best known
Of these organizations. Besides dis
tributing food and clothing and ar
ranging for shelter, this society is in
teresting itself in the organization Of
Russian schools. The Government it.
self has established seminaries for the
training of teachers and many have
Kieff and Moscow.
East Galicia shows fewer traces of
military occupation than might have
been expected. The principal entry is
Brody. There, one of the leading streets
was visited by fire on the first appear
ance of the Cossacks, son the ground it
is said, that Cossack officer was killed
by q woman. which seems to have
been admitted. With this exception
there is not a sign of destruction on
the railway line to Lenberg, and this
beautiful city was fortunately evacu-
ated by the Austrians, who made their
stand at Grodek some distance west
ward.
The towns and virlhges Of the Car
pathian slopes have suffered of course
as they have been fought over time
and again., In West Galicia, that is
Galicia west of Przemsl, the devasta-
ton has been serious, though uninten
tional, both Russians and Austrans
regarding the country as their own.
Some of the valleys have been trav-
ersed seven times by alternating Rus
sian and Austrian armies.
The land of Galicia is considered on
ly moderately fertile, but the greatest
handicap to prosperous agriculture is
periodical inundation by the mountain
torrents. The regulation Of these
streams would afford abundant cleo
trio power and, with the Russian mar
ket open to it's products, Galicia should
make rapid strides as manufacturing
country. Hitherto it has been separat-
ed from the remainder of the central
European plain by an artificial 'front.'
Ter and from Austria Hungary by the
Carpathian mountains There are
large resources, in naptha, as is vel!
known, and in forests. AS to the lat
ter, firewood for the 5000 inhabitants
Of Lemberg is hauled into the city in
wagons, so close are the virgin woods.
1t is perhaps worth while adding that
the Russian government has not seized
any of the petroleum which the Cali
clan companies have in stock, but have
sealed their tanks and reservoirs to
prevent thefts or losses by fire.

way tracks. When too late the mo-
torman shut off the current and ap-
piled the brakes, but the car slid along
until it stopped directly in the path
of the on-coming train.
The leading freight car struck the
street car squarely in the middle. The
railroad tracks at the place where the
accident occurred, Occupy a narrow
street. AS the car was swept away
from the crossing. one end Of it struck
and demolished the front end Of the
Delray station. which stood on one cor
ner, and the other tore out a part Of
grocery store on the opposite side
of the street. Nearly 200 feet was
travelled before the freight was
brought to a stop and along this dis
lance, terribly mangled bodies Of dead
and injured were strewn. Others
caught in the wreckage of the car were
not extricated until several hours af-
ter the crash.
The crews Of the car and Of the
freight train were taken to police
headquarters and after an investiga-
ton Westover and the regular motor
man. Richard Valladee were detained
on a charge Of manslaughter.
The majority of the victims are for
eigners, whose homes are in the River
Rouge and Delray suburbs of Detroit.

our bodies and naturally there follows
a dislocation of our normal balance.
The average adult man sustains Oh
every pleasant day an atmospheric pres
sure of about IA tons at sea level, when
the barometer reads at 80 and drop
of an inch or more, to %, and below
practically takes off half a ton or more
of his load to which he is accustomed.
Periodically. instead of feeling lighter
and freer man feels its disturbing de-
pressing effect ON his tissues. He has

from normal tensity to one of unusual
relaxation, and while it is slow in it's
manifestations, as barometric changes
are generally gradual, yet the effect in
miniature is like going up to great
height on a mountain range OF course
this feeling is neither serious nor fatal
but the relaxed condition in unpleasant
weather extending over a number Of
DAYS makes us feel "out Of sorts. y
While the spell is on We are in the dol
drums and the situation Is recognized
as of enough Importance by careful sur
geons, who weigh every factor, TO defer
inlportant operations which can be post
poned, when these unfavorable parom-
etric conditions prevail, and the patient
needs every ounce of vitality to pull
through.
1t is just as we'll to know these fun

which affect our physical being so that
we can estimate that tired or good

a spell of dull weather; to know that II

GALICIA NOT SUFFERING
AS HAD Been EXPECTED
UNDER The RUSSIANS
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Lvoff Oemberg), Galicia, March II.
East Galicia has found Count George
Bobrinsky humane and just governor
and, until the Austrians reoccupied
Stanislaus for a brief period, very
lenient one. There was scarcely any
restriction of freedom of movement be-
tween East and West Galicia and be-
tween East Galicia and Russia. The
Russian authorities then became con-
WINGED that they had been too easy
going and a score of traders were ar
rested under charges of purchasing
provisions for the Austrian army, i'll
the expectation of 9, reoccupation OF
this city where the cannonading about
Stanislaus was audible.
An evil with which the Russian gov
ernment was confronted was the per-
sistent speculation in Russian and
Austrian currency. The Russian au-
thorities established rate of exchange
instead of forbidding the use of Aus
trian money altogether. The rate was
fixed at 3.33, a rouble being made equal
to 1888 crowns. The gold equivalent of
a rouble was 2.55 crowns before the
war.
Neither empire is now circula ting
gold so the temptation to speculation
was offered. One Of the local cafes,
frequerted by small brokers and trad
.ers, soon resembled handbook club.
The rate of eXchangessfor tie day
would be fixed by whispess, signs and
mods and then the spectators would
scatter among the country folk on the
market place and spread reports cal
culated to support the agreed rate Of
exchange.
Printed, typed or mimeographed slips
would be shown as having been
dropped by Austrian aeroplanes, which.
as fact have not flown in East Cali
cha, except over the battle-ground in
the Carpathians in three months.
These slips would announce Austrian
victories and the approaching expul-
sion of the Russians from the occu-
pied territory. In consequence many
holders of Russian notes would dis
pose Of them for Austrian crowns at
panic price. The speculation extended
to kieff and thence to Austria, through
Rumania. 1t has now been greatly
checked by periodical but unannounced
shifting Of the cafes by the restrictions
on freedom of movement and by ar
rests, Of which however there have
been comparatively few.
In other respects the Russians play
the role Of friends and benefactors Of
the population Of the occupied terri
tory. Not single dollar has been |
taken from the people in the form of
taxes, imposts, loans, acquisitions or
general fines. On the contrary the |
government invites bids from contrac-
tors, large and small, willing to supply
provisions. and the officers and soldiers
of the Russian armies pay cash and at
prices fixed by the shcpkeepers for
they require.
The municipalities expend large
sums to support the needy and the
Russian government itself contributes
to this work. There are said to be 10
900 families of former Austrian civil
in this city and the majority

UNCLE SAM KICKS
AT PANAMA C0L0NI-
zATI0N OF SAN BIAS
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

Panama. April 1.-The Panama Govern
ment has put in force what is described
as a monoI oaistic scheme for the coloni-
cation and exploitation of the San Bias
coast on the Atlantic Ocean to which the
American government has interposed OBJ
jections. The United States pointed out
that the scheme would greatly interfere
with a profitable trade in cocoanuts and
other products which the San Bias In
dams conduct with the New England
states.
promulgated, President porras set aside
large section Of the San Bias Indian
region, lying between Colon on the west
and Cape Tiburon on the east, for colo
nization purposes. The decree stated that
all of the trading with the section should
be through the port Of Colon only in
craft flying the Panaman flag. This
would in effect close out many small ves-
sells of other nationalities which now
enter the little San Bias ports.
1t is question here whether the
scheme Of the Panaman administration
will meet with success because of the
very hostile nature of the San Bias In
dams. The tribe is very large and
powerful one and has hitherto MAIN
tanned it's independence of any constitut-
ed authority at Panama or elsewhere.
1t has never recognized the Panama Re-
public and never paid taxes or export du-
ties for the support Of the government. In
the past the Indians have resisted any
effort by Panama officials to Interfere
with them and on occasion have driven
Panama police officials out Of the coun-
try.
To aid in the colonization scheme Presi-
dent Porras established q Colonial police
with headquarters in the district and

FOR WEAK, SOUR,
Classy STOMACHS

It's torture to sit down to a
we'll filled dinner table and
know that to eat what you want
means misery afterwards. Eat
ever so little of the forbidden
foods and you have to take So
da minis, pepsin pills or other
artificial digestants to stop the
bloating, heartburn, sourness,
gas and stomach lump that al
ways follows. But the more Of
them you take the more you
must and soon the pills become
a part of your regular diet. You
think you can not eat without
them, but you can.
There is an old time stomach
prescription called Mi-o-na
Stomach tablets that acts di-
rectly on the stomach itself and
not on the food One or two
Mi-o-no tablets after each meal
not only prevents all stomach
distress but stimulates healthy
natural flow of digestive juices,
strengthens the muscular walls
and makes the stomach stronE
enough to do it's own work and
that's the only way to stop in
digestion. Bowditch & Web

FIRE PREVENTION WORK
Insurance Commissioner Discusses
War on Firebugs.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 15.-Declaring
wal on "firebugs" who at intervals
operate in different parts of South
Dakota, and intimating that If neces-
sary the services of the big detective
agencies of the United States will be
secured to run down this class of
dangerous criminals, o. X. Stablein,
state insurance commissioner of
South Dakota, while in Sioux Falls,
talked interestingly of work of him
self and assistants along fire proven
ton lines.
He referred to the good work done
by secret service men in securing the
evidence which recently resulted in
the arrest Of Arthur Brown OF Wasta
and a woman claiming to be his wife
on the charge of arson. they being
accused of setting a fire which re-
Gently destroyed a large general store
at Wasta. He stated further that at
present there are several other cases
OF suspected arson In different parts
ri the state on which himself and
deputies were working and that ar
rests were expected to be made in
the near future.
Speaking of conditions he has
found over the state. Commissioner
Stablein referred particularly to the
1re menace found in the business
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1915-02-15

districts of many of the cities and
towns OF the state, where uninhabit-
ed buildings and frame structures
have been the direct cause, in his
opinion, for higher insurance rates
than would be fixed If proper Drotec-
ton against fire was offered. He
stated as an instance that some big
business houses in Aberdeen are pay
ing what amounts 10 a tax of is per
cent on insurance because adjacent
properties are not kept in repair
when uninhabited or constitute a fire
peril. Many other places in the state,
he added, face the same situation.
He advanced the opinion that the re-
moval of that type of fire menace
would mean immediate reduction of
fire insurance rates in such districts.
A bill to remedy such conditions
has been introduced in the present
legislature, and those who have
sounded sentiment among the mem
bers of the legislature believe the
bill will be enacted into law A very
material reduction of insurance rates
Is expected to result when the pro-
visions of the bill are complied with
by property holders throughout
South Dakota.
