ANARGHY IN GONTROL BCORE OF MURDERS OCCURRING DAILY AT LODZ, RUSSIAN PO- LAND, AND VICINITY. JACTORIES FORCED TO SHUT DOWN TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS AN- TICIPATED WHEN PANGS OF HUNGER ARE FELT. Lodz, Russian Poland, Dec. 31.—The situation here is rapidly becoming scute. Sanguinary encounters were frequent during the day. Up to this heur six persons have been killed and twelve wounded. The authorities, at first supine, are now more active and are preparing to meet all emergencies. It is generally anticipated that the workmen will sventually secure the upper hand over the socialists, drive out the agitators and resume work within a few days. The principal Polish banks say they do not fear any financial -difficulties among the firms which have been forced to close down their works. ‘The proprietors of seven of the larg- est factories here. employlng 100,000 persons, have announced their inten- tion of closing their establishments in consequence of the system of terror- ism inaugurated by the socialists. The ennouncement caused great excite- ment among the inhabitants generally of this city as well as among the bet- ter classes of the factory employes, who fear that when this great army of unemployed persons begins to feel the want of bread rioting will occur. The factory employes as a rule are without any means to support them- selves and their families during the hard winter prevailing. One of the principal mill owners informed a cor- respondent of the Associated Press that the employers were compelled to close down because the militant so- clalists control the entire city and Are murdering all those who do not accept their demands, which makes the continuance of business impossi- ble. The socialists Friday murdered no less than a score of nationalist work- men in this city and vicinity and they threaten to organize street riots and compel citizens at the point of revol- vers to feed and lodge the unem- ployed. The manager of the Scheiblers’ cot- ton mills and the foreman and engi- necr of another factory were mur- dered during the night by socialists and the engineers of those and other establishments, fearing assassination, have refused to return to their work. Consequently four of the largest cot: ton mills shut down and others will do likewlse. Several street encounters occurred during the morning. The engineers and skilled artisans are leaving Lodz. SIXTEEN PERSONS KILLED. Railroad Disaster in 8cotland Due to Snow Storm. Dundee, Scotland, Dec. 31.—In a raflroad collisfon, caused indirectly by the heavy snow storm of the last few days, sixteen persons were killed and over thirty injured. The accident occurred near Ar- broath, on the North British railroad, between Edinburgh and Aberdeen and some distance north of Dundee. Among the persons injured is Alex- ander Willlam Black, member of the house of commons from Banffshire, Scotland. The danger signals failed to act through being clogged with snow. It is recalled that the Arbroath acei- dent occurred on the anniversary of Bootland’s worst rallroad accident, the Tay bridge disaster of 1879, and within twenty miles of the actual scene of that disaster. WEATHER WARMING UP. 8nowbound Trains in Great Britain Being Released. London, Dec. 31.—A thaw has set in here and the weather conditions in the provinces are ameliorating. The snowbound trains are gradually being dug out and the railroad companies hope that the usual traffic will be re- sumed in the course of the day.

He is now state agent for the Rand McNally publications and will make his future home in St. Paul, Caterplllar Fever, The symptoms of the allment known to doctors as “caterpillar rash” are in- tense Irritation on the palms, and sowe- times on the face, accompanied by a aumber of blisterlike swellings which, when they occur round the eyes, some- times have the effect of obstructing vision. The preventive is to leave hairy caterplllars alone. As the “palmer worm,” the hairy caterpillar of the gold tail moth, one of the com- monest and most beautiful objects of the country at midsummer, passes from haud to hand, it leaves on every palm a few of its loosely attached hairs, and those hairs are possessed, for the protection of -the caterpillar against birds and browsimg animals, of what sclentists call “urticating prop- erties.” “Urtica” is the Latin for “net- tle” Many other hairy caterpglars are almost as bad as the “palmer worm,” and as « general rule the less you han- dle any hairy caterpillar the better.— London Mail. The Benefit of Exercise, Exercise does for the body what the mountaih side does for the stream of water. When the water runs down the mountain side it is a babbling brook, leaping out Into the air now and then, throwing itself into spray, exposing it- self to the wir and sunshine and the ‘waters are ciystal pure. In the valley or on a level plain the waters may form stagnant pools and get covered over with slime of all sorts and inhabited by all kinds of filthy creeping things. Some people let themselves get into the condition of that stagnant pool and then wonder why the frogs croak in their brains and why the birds do not sing instead. When a person gets into the condition where the body Is like a stagnant pool a radical change must be made in his life. He must begin by getting vitalized, new blood into all his cells and tissues.—Good Health. Jackson In Triumph. After the battle of New Orleans, says Thomas E. Watson in his magazine, when the victor had been crowned with laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed like a_demigod through the streets, it 'was of his mother that he spoke to the officers whom he was about to disband —their glorious work being done. ‘Gentlemen, If only she could have lived to see this day!” As you follow the narrative of Andrew Jackson’s ca- reer, you.will hear him say many things that you will not approve, will see him do many things which you cannot applaud, but when you re- call that at the very top notch of his success and his pride. his heart stayed in the right place and was sore because his mother: could not be there to glad- den her old eyes with the glory of her son you will forgive him much in his life that was harsh and cruel and ut- terly wrong.

I did not wish to speak to you—but—a boy of seventeen”— She faltered. He was looking at her with a strange, fixed expression. “I anderstand. Leave him to me. Ishall wait up until he comes in.” “Don’t be harsh with him,” she sald pleadingly.: “Oh, I am so sorry 1 told you! Remember, he has always been such a good boy”— “My dear, you have nothing further to do with this. I must deal with my gon In my own way. not to interfere. You had better go quietly to your room. I ask you to do go. I want him to find me here when he sees fit to return to his home.” She retired, with her mother heart anxlously beating, and waited until the click of a latchkey sounded In the street door. She listened, trembling, ready to rush out, a penitent peace maker. She heard: “Dick, Is that you?” “Yes, sir.”” “Is the dog In the hall?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, turn out the gas. Good night!” <Madeline Bridges in Woman’s Home Companion. Characteristic Songs. “It may or may not be the case that a race’s temperament can be judged from its folk songs,” sald a traveler on a transatlantic liner the other day, “but it is Interesting to note the dif- terence of subject matter in the songs of various peoples. “The Irishman, for Instance, seems to sing for the most part about bis ladylove. Hardly any of his songs are not addressed to his ‘Somebody Ma- vourneen.’ “The Scot, on the other hand, sings ubout hig country and its history, as a rule. ‘Scots Wha Hae, ‘Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonnle Doon,’ ‘Loch Lomond," and 8o on, might be taken as examples, “The Englishman, it Is interesting to note, sings about himself all the time. His songs are about his own glory, his ships, his men, his power. He refers occasionally to old England, but only as a place he made famous by bis own prowess. Unlike the Irigh and the 8cotch, he sings little of his women and his country’s beauties.”—New. York Times, I request you s, Trial Balanee Books, Ru MAY REACH COMPROMISE.

MAY TIE UP SHIPPING. Officers of Pacific Coast Vessels De- mand More Pay. Seattle, Wash., Dec. 31.—Following the recent sailors’ strike comes a dis- agreement between the officers of ves- sels which promises to result in one of the greatest labor troubles in con- nection with Pacific coast shipping of recent years. This is a strike of all ship officers except the masters. The trouble hinges on the demand of the officers for overtime and an increase in salary of $10 a month.

The disagreement has already held up one. vessel, the Santa Ana, belonging to the North- western Steamship company. WRANGLE OVER RUEF CASE. San Frarcisco Judge Rebukes Col- league as Interioper.
