LATEST RUSSIAN REVOLT
AND PREVIOUS UPRISING
WheE Soldiers Refused to Fire
RevoIutionists Knew Battle
Was Won.

PetrOgrad, Russia. 49, Comparing the
present revolution with the great but
unsuccessful uprising Of 1905, certain
likenesses and still greater differences
are to be observed. Both began with
food rioting and widespread industrial
strikes.
After weeks Of sporadic strikes
throughout the empire during the jap
anese war, strikes which were without
central leadership, a general strike Of
government workers and others came
in January, 1905. Liberal leaders and
revOlutionaries alike were taken off
their feet by the spontaneous uprising.
Then both liberals and revolution
aries went to the support Of the strik-
ers and endeavOred to change the in
dustrial revolt into a political revolu-
ton. The situation grew SO serious
that the car put Petr0grad under mar
tial law and made General TrepOff mil
itary governor.
The present revolt Is direct result
Of that Of 1906. The chief difference
is that the uprising which has led to
the abdicatiOn Of Gear Nicholas and
the establishment Of a democracy in
Russia is that the liberty leaders care.
fully worked out the plans for the re-
cent coup d'etat. Every detail Of the
program was studied with care, and
nothing was left to chance.
There was one element Of uncertainty
the attitude Of the army. When sol
diers refused to fire on strikers am,
food rioters the revolutionists knew
the battle was won, and the overthrow
Of the ministry followed.

Jack Burgess Is
Striking Double
For Buffalo Bill

Hello Colonel, | used to work for
you, but | guess you don't remember
me-"
With this salutation a stranger
walked up to Jack Burgess, old-time
Omahan and formerly connected with
the city treasurer's office here, at Big
Horn, Wyo., and stretched forth his
hand.
For since Burgess left Omaha ten
or twelve years ago and went to
Wyoming to make his home, he has
permitted his silvery locks to extend
to their fullest length, allowed a
bushy mustache to crop out on his up
per lip and a goatee blossom forth
on his chin. And adorned with a
scouts Stetson hat, Burgess is the
very picture of the late Colonel Cody
ad was often mistaken for him.
Charles L. Saunders, who was de-
putty city treasurer, when Burgess was
in the Office. spends his summer vaca-
tons in the Big Horn mountains with
Burgess every summer. They have a
cabin together. 1T was frequent oc-
curence for persons to mistake him
for Buffalo Bill" declared Saunders.
Many times persons who knew
Colonel Cody personally, were good
friends of him. mistook Jack for him
and could hardly be convinced that
he was not The resemblance is GER
tainly striking
Burgess cultivated the plainsman
makeup merely for "deviltry," Saun-
ders said.
