NEW CIVIL WAR IN PROGRESS
 IN RUSSIA

Civil war has broken out in Russia and the Bolshcviki regire Apparently will be put to the test. The Petro- grad government has issued a proc lamation announcing that Generals Kaledines, Korniloff and Dutoff have begun d revolution in southeastern European Russia.
 The Bolsheviki announcement de- clares that the constitutional demo- crats are assisting the Hetmon of the Don CossacKs and his fellow mili- tary leaders, who are said to aim at cutting off food supplies and seizing power from the Black sea to the Urul mountains as well as in the Caucasus. Bolsheviki troops have been ordered to take the field against the counter revolutionists
 Gen. KaledineS is said to be col lecting his forces and il is inferred that their objectives include Moscow,
 General Dutoff is leading the revolt in the province of Orenburg and is cndeavoring to cut the trans-S Siberian railroad at Tcheliabinsk.
 Two towns in the Caucasus are be. sieged by forces under Gen. karau- loff.
 In Orenburg the Bolsheviki leaders have been arrested and the soldiers under them disarmed. In the neN Ukranian republic the middle class is reported to be assisting General Kale dimes in opposition to the workmen's and soldiers councils.
 The proclamation of the Bolsheviki denounces the constitutional demo- cratic party and its leaders, including Michael Rodzianko, the former presi- dent of the duma, and Paul \. Mitu- koff, the former foreign minister.
 Counter Revolt Breaks Out.
 LONDON, Dec. l0.-Thc counter revolt in southeastern Russia under the leadership of Generals Kaledines, Dutoff and Korniloff apparently is aimed at seizing the authority in that region and cutting off food supplies from Siberia, according to the proc lamation of the Bolsheviki govern ment. General Kaledines' forces are menacing Ekaterinoslav. Kharkov and Moscow In the province of Oren- burg the Bolsheviki have been over- thrown by General Dutoff Tchelia- binsk. an important railway center in northeastern Orenburg, is besiegcd by General Dutof's troops. In the Caucasus General Karauloff is attack ing Tchechcnrev and lngusher.
 The proclamation says that the enemies of the people" have under taken a last attempt to destroy the cause of peace and says that the con stitutional democratic party is pro- viding the means for the revolt.

HALIFAX, Dec. l0.-A roaring blizzard, the third to strike this sore ly afflicted city since the blast from the exploding munitions steamer made 25,000 homeless four days ago, burst from northeast late today, rag ing with the fury for which the north ern storms are noted It all but crushed the hearts of the workers who are struggling to alleviate the suffering. For time the contingents of the relief army toiled doggedly amid the ice-shroudcd ruins for the unrecovered dead, but were obliged 10 withdraw when the crippled light ing system broke down, leaving the city in darkness Burial parties were driven to cover, and hundreds of oth- CTS, patiently seeking the dead, gave up their task and sought shelter.
 An embargo against the admission into this city of persons not connect ed with relief or construction work has been issued.
 Supplies Come In.
 Supplies from New York brought in last night on a special train were distributed promptly in the hospital districts.
 There is enough food on hand to meet immediate needs, provided the supply is not exhausted by the people rushing in from every quarter, the local branch of the Nova Scotia wholesale grocers guild reported in 9 communication to the lieutenant governor today.
 All relief agencies now have been coordinated Enough doctors and nurses have reached the city to take care of the hospital duties. A con- siderable quantity of supplies already has arrived and more are on the way SO that the danger of famine has been averted and there is ample clothing for all.
 These supplies must be carefully conserved, however, and the authori- ties today were doing their best tc enforce the requests published yester' day that non-rcsidents not here or urgent business should leave the city and that others should not come here for the present.
 The work of repairing the innum crable damaged buildings was wei under way. Lumber, glass and othei building materials are needed in grea ] quantities.
 1 Burial of the victims of the explo sion and fire here Thursday was be gun today.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
NEEDS YOUR AID
Urged That Citizens support Athletics
Ii They Believe In Welfare of School

The football season for the Show
hogan high school opens Saturday
with prospects of the school being
we'll represented on the gridiron.
Now Mr.. Citizen and alumni of the
Skowhegan High School, does that
mean anything to you? Are you will
ing to uphold the traditions OF an in
stitution that started you out in life
or must its athletics suffer because
of your lack of interest The school
is the same as when you were there;
ii needs are the same and its success
depends in a great measure on your
interest
The boys this year, boys in whom
you as a citizen, are interested. have
worked hard to get a winning combi-
nation together, but they must have
money. 1t is realized that money is
in great demand at this time contrib
utions to various causes are impera-
tive but what did the President and
Secretary of war say? Both leaders
urge that athletics should not die in
the schools and colleges of our coun-
try since they contribute to the up
building of young men. In the past
local athletics have suffered because
of lack of interest on the part of those
who have left the school The stu
dents themselves are doing and have
done much but they cannot do it all
Many of the alumni cannot get out
to the games; many can but don't
and why? 1t is your school that is
fighting on the ball field or gridiron
and why shouldn't you be interested /?
In the past the crowds at the high
school football games have been
small and the treasury has suffered
accordingly but no conscientious
alumnns can give any reason why he
shouldn't appear at the games Satur-
day afternoons, unless business keeps
him away. Get out and do your
bit and payment Will come in the
satisfaction of seeing your alma ma
ter doing something which will ele-
vate her among other schools.
This appeal has not been formulat-
ed in newspaper office but comes
from those who are deeply interested
IN the welfare of ASkoWhegan High
School. Plans have been made to
iSouc N Lil Is hHONU as clIlZen $
ticket and these will be sold to any
one who desires to help at the nomin-
al price of 81. These will admit the
purchaser to all football games play
ed here during the year
ed here during the year They may
be obtained from students who will
be chosen to sell them or can be pur-
chased at the Fairview Park gate. IL
accosted be careful not to say mo-.
but with smile and feeling that
you are helping, dig down in that we'll
lined pocket and part with dollar.
1t will be as good an investment as
you ever made.
Remember the first game is next
Saturday at Fairview Park when the
local eleven will battle for supremacy
with Cony High aggregation from Au-
gusta You who have never before
taken much interest. make up your
mind to help. Turn out for this
first game; shout for the high school
and all it stands for then you will be
certain to see the rest of the games
and will feel better for having done
your part

business of farming. These young
men will be received as guests in
Skowhegan homes. The Skowhegan
Board of Trade is to otherwise see
that their visit is made enjoyable. The
canning industries of Maine are to

al $3.50 is needed to make the awards
of suitable size. Skowhegan citizens

YOUR FRIENDS
BEST ADVISERS
It's What Friends and Neighb0rs Say
That Counts Most

We have faith in our friends, else
they would not be our friends. The
faith that Mrs. Louis F Marden, Of
r. F. D. No s, Bangor, had in one Of
her friends made big change In her
life.
Mrs. Marden recently told the story
Il was suffering from loss of appe-
tite and could sleep very little this
Bangor woman explained, For some
reason | had terrible headaches most
OF the time | knew was in Il badly
run down condition but I did not
know what had caused it OF what
would relieve me.
My friends noticed the change in
me and one of them advised ne TO try

lieve me and so, at last, | determined
to try it.
II was certainly surprised al the
results | got from this Master Medi-
cine. By the time had taken three

friend knew the right thing for me,
and | am very glad | took her ad-
vice"
II Is what your 1rlendS and neigh
bors say about a medicine that really
counts. You know they have your in
terest at heart and when they recon-
mend medicine you can depend on
it. Maine men and women are recon-
mending Tanlac, the Master Medicine,
Tor ailments of the stomach. liver,
kidneys and catarrhal affections and
their friends thank them. as Mrs.
Marden did, for their advice.
Tanlac now is being specially in

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, May A sharp fall
ing off in hog receipts around the
market map today caused a sharp ad-
vance in prices. Locally the demand
showed urgency from all sources and
the upturn figured 10 a 15c. Tops
were boosted to $3.50. while $3.50
a 1850 took in the bulk of the sales.
Run of cattle included a string of
southern stockers and the salable
supply was on the moderate order.
Estimate for the day was 2,2O0, as
against 2.127 a week ago and 1903
the corresponding day a year ago.
Fat cattle market continued in a
dull state and prices were at the low
level for the week. Steer values have
suffered a decline of 25 a 40e since
the opening session. while butcher
stock is not over 10 a 15c lower.
Ready release was had for stockers
and feeders at firm figures. Inquiry
from the country continues to show
breadth and this has been a factor in
bringing about betterment during
the week.
Not enough sheep and lambs ar
rived to test market conditions.
