SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM UUMA GETS WARNING Russian Governmeant Will Dictate Legislation Desired. PREMIER STOLYPIN SPEAKS Reiterates the Idea of the Autocratic Power of the Czar as the Sole Guar- antee of Security and Welfare in Time of Disorder. St. Petersburg, -vy. o+—The dec- laration of the government, read by Premier Stolypin before the duma, was received with dismay by the Oc- toberists and the Constitutional Dem- ocrats and with open exultation by the members of the Right party. The keynote of the address was re- fteration of the idea of the autocratic power of the emperor as the sole guarantee of security and welfare in an era of disorder. The announce- ment also was made that the duma is expected to take its cue from the administration in the matter of leg- islation and the premier outlined what future legislation was expected. He excoriated the radical parties as fosterers of crime and sedition and said their excesses would no longer be tolerated in Russia. This statement is taken to show that the administra- tlon looks with disfavor upon any alll- ance betwzen the Octoberists and the Constitutional Democrats. The premier was constantly inter- rupted by applause from members of the Right, but at the conclusion of his address there was scarcely a hand- clap from the Octoberist ranks. After a short recess a general de- bate on the declaration was opened. Premier Stolypin, who spoke in clear and emphatic tone, began the government’s declaration by saying that the pernicious agitation orlg. inated by the Radicals had today de- generated into open brigandage. Crim- inals, he said, had come to the fore- ground in a movement by which the industries of the country were belng ruined and the Younger Generation Demoralized. Any show of weakness in handling this situation would be a crime and the government, in the future as in the past, would continue to crush dis- orders with an iron hand and insist upon loyal service from all state offi- clals. The personal political opinions of these officials, the speaker de- clared, would not be allowed to inter- fere with the government's course. ‘The ‘premier attacked university au- tonomy and said that nothing would be permitted to stop the government from taking an active course in introdncing order and discipline In the schools. The government was convinced of the necessity of the speediest possible abandonment of martial law and a return to normal conditions, but the government had decided to make use of all measures possible to strengthen judicial proce- dure and hasten its operations and he counted upon the help of the rep- resentatives of the people in uncover- ing lllegal acts of government offi- clals. The government was inclined, the premier continued, to punish the arbi- trary use of power as severely as slackness of administration. Once or- der had been restored in the country, he said, the government would be able to devote all its attention to the In- ternal development of the empire and the settlement of the agrarlan prob- lem, upon which the prosperity of millions of the population depended, was a first rondition to this end. The premier recommended the inviolabil- ity of private property and the allot- ment of certain lands to small pro- prictors. On these principles the pre- mier based his hopes for a solution of the agrarfan problem and he said he hoped the duma would assist the gov- ernment by enacting the agrarian lnws pmpl)s('d by lt ‘One Killed, Several Gloucester, Mass,, 27 Injured.

TWENTY PERSONS IN CAGE Two of the Occupants Meet Instant Death and Seven Are Seriously In- Jured—Conductor of Elevator at Time of Accident Arrested. Chicago, Dec. 2.—Two persons were killed and seven were seriously injured by the falling of a passenger elevator in a building at 202 Jackson boulevard, occupied by the clothing firm of Edenheimer, Stein & Co. The car, which contained nearly twenty | passengers, for the most part women employed by the clothing firm, was approaching the ninth floor on a downward trip when the cable parted. The cage fell to the bottom of the shaft, a mass of wreckage. The body of one of the two men killed was 1dentified as that ot Jacob Scramek, forty-five years old, an employe of the firm, Leo Considine, twenty-one years old, who was acting as elevator cor- ductor, though not regularly so em: ployed, was arrested. He could assign no reason for the breaking of the cable. ASHY DOWNPOUR IN ALASKA Nome and Vicinity Covered to Depth of Several Inches. Nome, Alaska, Dec. 2.—Nome and probably the entire Seward peninsula is shrouded in an ashy haze and the ground for miles is covered several Inches deep with a fine gritty pow- der, which is believed to be volcanic ash. The storm began several days ago, the dust blowing in from the ocean, but at first little attention was paid to the freak of nature, as it was expected that it would soon cease. Instead, however, the fall continued and after ! a day became so dense as to seriously Interfere with out of door pursuits. Miners coming into town reported that | for miles the snow was so impreg- nated with the ashes that sledding was almost impossible. Further, the alr is so full of ashes that breathing 1s difficult and the fine powder was sifted in houses and business places to such an extent that it is thick on floors and on everything in the way of goods and household furniture, It is believed that some one of the nu- merous volcanic islands, either be- tween this coast and Siberia or more prohably those islands in the Alaska peninsula or the Aleutian islands, are again in eruption and that the ashy downpour is the result. No serious results are anticipated, but much in- convenience is being caused by the peculiar storm. TWO LIVES ARE LOST. 8everal Calhohc Institutions Wiped Cut by Fire.

Joseph’s Catholic church were burned. All of these institutions oc- cupled a lot together near Covington. ‘When the ruins were searched the charred body of Rev. Joseph Buck, who was attached to the academy, was found. He had been cut off from escape by the flames in the academy building and burned to death. It was also discovered after the fire that one of the Covington firemen who had re- sponded to the alarm was missing. HITS INTERSTATE COMMERGE Federal Judge Restrains Washington Railroad Commission.

TROOPS GUARD TAFT'S TRAI Ihpnrtod That Attempt Would Be Made to Blow It Up. Penza, European Russia, Dec, 2.— The report that an attempt would be made to blow up the train upon which Secretary Taft was riding so alarmed the police of Ufa that fifty soldiers were stationed in the corridors and vestibules of the cars at Ufa and re- mained on guard until morning. The train proceeded slowly and with great caution throughout the, nlght. 2 P — . |—and take no other, Secretary Taft will 16 Tecelved by Emperor Nicholas Tuesday morning and a reception by Minister of For- elgn Affalrs Iswolsky has been ar- ranged - for Wednesday night, condl- tioned upon the abllity of Secretay Taft to delay his departure from St. Petersburg untll Thursday and he probably will leave for Hamburg Thursday noon, Montgomery Schuyler, Jr., charge d'affaires of the American embassy at St. Petersburg, has notified Secretery Taft that a nobleman will be !L])pohlt ed by Emperor Nicholas as his per- sonal aide during his stay in St. Pe- tersburg. Mr. Taft knows nothing of the ru- mor in cireulation that Emperor Will- fam will meet him at Hamburg, Her Ready Wit. Though he had long adored her in secret—worshiped, in fact, the ground she pressed beneath the soles of her dainty Jittle No, 8's—he had never yet been able to screw up suflicient cour- age to put his fate to the test. Poor fellow! Ile was one of those shy, modest, self deprecating sort of chaps that are growing rapidly scarcer or he would have tumbled months ago to the gact that he had only to go in and win. Gertrude Alicia knew the state of his feelings right enough, but it had pleas- ed her hitherto to keep him dangling In attendance. At last, however, she made up her mind to land her fish as soon as a favorable chance presented itself. And the opportunity came at the Smythingtons’ little soiree, when the bashful swain, entering the conserva- tory, discovered his inamorata looking her loveliest amid the palms and flow- ers. “Are—are you alone?’ he questloned timidly. In a moment the fair and ready wit- ted girl saw her chance and took it then and there. “A loan, Hen—er—Mr. Finnikin,” she sald, with lowered eye- lids, “a loan? Certainly not—I'm a gift” And fifteen minutes later, when they emerged from their retreat, Henry was asking himself how he could have been such a Juggzins as to postpone his hap- piness so long. Nezander's “One Work."” Doctors, when they send away a busy man for several weeks of rest, do not consider that to one accustomed to work an cnforced rest is both irri- tating and depressing. Neander, the famous ch rian, had promised his physi Ing ordered to Carlsbad to drink its famous waters that he would take no books-with him except one work, which the doctor with reluctance allowed. On the morning of the historian’s de- parture the doctor, wishing to say goodby to his patient, called at bis door and saw a cart laden with heavy folios. “But, dear professor,” said the phy- sician, with the emphasis of displeas- ure, “you promised me to take no books with you.” “Yes, doctor,” replied the childlike professor, “but you allowed me one work, so I thought I might take the fa- thers \irmx me to Carlsbad.” The “one work” included thtee or four score volumes. When Marriage Is the Topic. The wedded state is a favorite sub- Ject with the epigram makers. I'rom a very old ballad we take this: There was a criminal in a cart A-goin’ to be hanged; Respite to him was granted, And cart and crowd did stand To know if he would marry a wife Or rather choose to die. “T'other’s the worst—drive on the cart!” The criminal did reply. More modern Is this verse: I would advise a man to pause Before he takes a wife— In fact, I sec no earthly cause He should not pause for life. ‘Who, by the way, is the author who describes a second marriage as being “the triumph of hope over experience?” Samuel Lover's matrimonial epigram Is very apposite: Though matches are all made in heaven, they say, Yet Hymen, who mischief oft hatches, Sometimes deals with the house t'other side of the way, And there they make Lucifer matches. —Chambers’ Journal. A WOMAN'S BACK. The Aches and Pains Will Disappear |3 if the Advice of This Bemidji Citizen is Followed. A woman’s back has many achas and pains. Most time ’tis the kidnay’s fault. Backache is really kidney ache; that’'s why Doan’s Kidney Pills cure it. Many Bemidji women know this. Read what one has to say ebout it. Mrs. J. E. Cahill,iving at 815 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: I have never had any seri- ous trouble with my kidneys buta few months ago there were unmis- takeable signs that my kidneys were disordered. There was a pain through the small of my back and other symptoms pointing to kidney disturbance. I had heard so much about Doan’s Kidney Pitls that I concluded to give them a trial, and produced a bex at the Owl Drug Store. 1 took them according to directions; was cured and have felt perfectly well since. Iam well pleased with the results that followed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills in my case and have no hesitancy in recom- mending them to others suffering from kidney complaint.

Lord Iverdale had just finlshed his after dinner speech and the guests had npplauded when the butler rushed for- ward and announced to his lordship that there was a burglar in the house. “A burglar! Confound his impu- dence! Where is he?” “We don't exactly know, your lord: ship. One of the maids, hearing a nolse in the library, looked in and saw a man at the safe. If your lord- ship will aillow me, I'll put Jarvis in my place here and take charge of the search.” “Very good, Haskins, Go by all means. Wait a moment—here is the key of my desk.

I dreamed last night that I was pres- ent at a committee meeting of the sun, earth, moon and stars. “I'm no coward,” sald the earth “No, but you have two great fears,” said the sun hotly. “And those are?” “The hemispheres.” “You've forgotten the atmosphere,” put in the moon. And the comet, who had no business to be there, wagged his tail with joy.
