COULD NOT SEE THE FUTURE
oldtime CieveIander's Rebuke Of "vi-
sIonary" Makes interesting Read
Ina at This Time.

A Cleveland man who has inherited
a mass Of ancient correspondence ran
across the following letter some time
ago and found in 1t little sermon on
times mutations. 1t was written In
1853 to an ancestor of his, citizen of
many activities, the writer being Hon.
John w. Allen. lawyer, editor, con-
gresham, the first president Of the So
clety for Savings.
II appears that the recipient Of the
letter had written to his congressman
suggesting a railway across the CONT
nent, an amazing vision In 1853.
Did Congressman Allen take kindly
to the SUGGESTION He did not. On the
contrary he gave the author of the
wild scheme neat dressing down.
"Why do you want at your age" he
wrote, "and with property enough for
your comfort and the well being Of
your children, to embark In such n
crazy undertaking? When you
are well, don't take physlc. Truly your
friend, ]. w. Allen"
II will be noted that the world and
the railways have advanced good
deal since that solemn warning was
delivered.

Comforts over a Volcano.

Up In the mountains, where snow
covers the ground more than half the
year and zero blasts whistle out of
the north, lies the town of Chaudes-
aigues, and In this town there has not
been heating stove or a furnace for
many years. Coal, firewOod and gas
are unknown and there are no chin
neys in this town Of 1000.
No, Chaudesalgues is not In Utopia.
II Is in Auvergne, France, and the ex-
PLANTATION Of Its emancipation from SCOT
and furnaces and ashes lies In the fact
that II is built In what was the crater
Of volcano, and from the ground be-
meath comes boiling water in great vol
ume. Lectures Pour Tous, Paris
magazine, tells how this water Is plped
through the streets and under houses
throughout the town without cost to
the resident. Even In the coolest of
weather, and II gets very cold In
Chaudesaigues--well below zero-the
houses are kept at balmy tempera-
ture merely by raising n trap door In
the floor and letting out the heat from
the flowing waters, the magazine says

and GILBERT
APPEALS Are ARGUED
Supreme Court Hearing Charge of
Disloyalty Against Two
Officials.

Arguing appeals in disloyalty cases
against A. C. Townley, national nresi-
dent, and Joseph Gilbert, former ma
tional organizer for the Nonpartisan
league in Jackson county, in the state
supreme court today, Representative
George Nordlin and F. A. Pike, at
torneys of St. Paul, sought to explain
away the alleged seditious language
attributed to the league officials.
Townley and Gilbert demurred to
an indictment charging them with con-
spring to violate the state law against
sedition. The Jackson county court
overruled the demurrer and certified
to the supreme court the questions
raised in the attack on the Indictment.
Gilbert's appeal was from his con-
viction under the same law, the charge
being that he used seditious language
at a meeting January 23 in Sand
Camps livery barn at Lakefield.
Distribution of the national Nonpar-
tisan war program and statements of
principles and also a resolution adopted
at the N%onpartisan meeting September
IS to 20, 1917, in the st. Paul aditor-
ium were among the grounds upon
which was found the indictment
charging conspiracy.
Employed Aid, Charged.
It was further alleged that Townley
and Gilbert employed Irving Freid'
tag to promote Nonpartisan league in
terest and discourage farmers from
aiding in the prosecution of the wa,
in Jackson county. Rreitag is alleg
Z ed to have said among other thing
that farmers should invest in Nonpar
tisan grain elevators and that Libert.
bonds were not safe investments TO
; them.
In the same connection were cite
statements attributed to Gilbert an
on which he was convicted. The Ian
r guage used by Gilbert at the liver
stable meeting was quoted as follows

RUSSIAN CITY DESOLATE.

now one Of the most desolate spots in
Europe, a majority of it's modern
buildings in ruins and the $4,000 in
habitants remaining in the grip Of
starvation and disease. This descrip-
ton of the city where the Bolsheviki
betrayed Russia by signing the treaty
with Germany in 1917 was contained
in a cable received at American Red
Cross headquarters from the Red
Cross mission to Poland.
About 10000 former residents of
the place are exiled in various parts
of Russia, according to the report.
Red Cross workers found the present
population in a terrible condition.
hunger and typhus having reduced
thousands of persons to the last stage
| of exhaustion. Food, clothing anG
medicines were distributed in large
quantities, but the need for relief is
still great. No street is without its
typhus case and in many instances
whole families are down with the dis.
ease. 1t has spread to the forts sur
rounding the city which are now usee
as homes by the refugees. In one Of
the forts $50 peasants are living II
duggouts formerly used by Russian
troops.
