be compelled that the situation was grav-

Stockholm newspapers say the declara-

greatest excitement. The Poltiken of

division in a joint session to be hello in

REITERATES THE
CHARGES AGAINST

from Petrograd says that Prof Paul
Milukof, leader of the Constitutional
Democrats, has issued a statement reit-
Grating the charges made last Novem-
Der against NJ. Sturmer. then premier,
and inviting the fullest investigation Of
the former premier's conduct
NJ. Milukoff asserts the judicial depart
ment of the Council of the Empire does
not possess the authority to demand an
explanation of the charges made in the
Duma where full liberty of speech is
guaranteed. He states that if the po-
litical controversy were to be trans
ferred from the Aaurida palace, in which
the Duma sits, to the courts he would be
able to produce evidence completely sub
stantiating his charges.
Owing to the censorship the exact ma
ture of the charges has not been relat-
ed, but it was made known that various
members of the Duma made a series of
sensational disclosures and that the Du-
ma united in formula directed against
the dark forces which it was convinced

pit, the heat being so great that all
five of the handsome memorial win
dows in the church were damaged,
several beyond repair. To keep the fire
from the organ, which was less than
10 feet from the fire, steady stream
of water was played on it.
The entire interior of the church
will have to be re-finished. The all
out sounded at 1856. The total loss
will be about $4,000. There is $4,000 in
surance on the building but none on
the contents.

Cut the Bitter Weeds.

A request is made by the Civic
League that all citizens unite in
the effort to exterminate the bit
ter weeds in Colfax before seed
ing time. Visitors frequently
comment on the beautiful shade
trees and green grass on our
streets and lots, and we should
not allow this beauty to be mar
red by the unsightly bitter weeds
that spring up at this season.
Nothing gives a town such a neg
lected appearance as the presence
OF this weed on the inhabitated
as well as vacant lots. In addi-
ton TO this they menace the
health of the community by fur
nishing breeding places for flies,
mosquitoes and other pests.

to the startled Colfax folks on

ceeded to substantiate their re-
port by stating that j. A. Hyde,
alleged to be the best fisherman
from this side of the parish, only
caught four perch, Perkins only
caught two, Capt. Wells caught
one, while O'Quinn was so tired
from steering the automobile
that he didn't catch any at all.
So this proves the creek has been
fished out and it amt worth
while for anybody else to go out
there and expect to catch any
fish.
