; Russia’s People Praise the be-| posed General. | St. Petersburg, March 27.—Karo-| patkin, the scapegoat, has been turned into a national hero. The ovation accorded him at Harbin'and the pathetic “God help you” of the soldiers Is echoed by the country. His appointment as commander of the first army is applauded. Prince Golitzin said: “The people resented the dismissal of Kuropatkin like a thieving domes- tie. His proposed reforms when he was minister of war were opposed by the general staff. On returningfrom his tour of inspection in the Far East before the war, Kuropatkin reported to the czar that Japan keenly resent- ed the concessions obtained in Korea| by Privy Councillor Besobrasoff. He advised Nicholas to abaudon the cancessions or be prepared to send anarmy to uphold them, His ad vice was rejected. “Besobrasoff said that Japan’s pre- ‘| tensions to rank as a fighting power were beneath contempt, and Admiral Alexieff assured the czar that the’ Russian navy was amply able to deal with Japan. It was afterward found ' that the admirals were in a.chronic state of intoxication; that the ships” ‘After all, there is nothing like DR. PRICE’S j CREAM 1 BAKING POWDER i have used it with satisfaction for nearly forty yeass.”” and now they are scattered over the globe or else have ingloriously suc- cumbed to the Japanese, Now the whole army is disorganized and.use- less, The admirals are greedy, the statesmen decayed and the bureauc- racy has selected Kuropatkin as the scapegoat.” Obituary. William Robbins, living four miles east of Amsterdam, who was hurt by a runaway team, died Saturday, March 11st, at 4 p. m., and was buried Monday. Funeral services were held at the family residence con- ducted by Miss Susie Mitchell, of In- dependence, Mo., after which the C. P. A. lodge of which the deceased was a member, took charge of the body. Mr. Robbins was 35 years of age and leaves a wife and four boys, a father, mother, three sisters, two brothers and a host of friends to mourn his untimely death. He was a kind husband, a loving, dutiful father and a good neighbor. To know him was but to love him. A large circle of friends attended the funeral and attributed the sorrowing their tenderest sympathies. It wae indeed sad. But death comes to us all sooner or later and who shall be taken and who spared yeta little while {s known only to Him who doeth all things well. X. Folk Signed Four More Bills.

Three New York thieves, by ‘their evidence before an investigating com- + mittee, have startled that big town. They were taken from the Tombs to tell their stories. One is a baseball player in ithe summer anda thief in , the winter. He told of a detective calling him from his bed at 3 o’clock fn the morning to rob an old man who had come in from Alabama with $5,000 to do business on Wallstreet. On the way to the station tne ball were not properly manned or armed,! player and the detective robbed the old man’ of $2,500, but after the old man threatened to go before District Attorney Jerome, and allof itexcept $300 was given back to him. The other two thieves told how they , op: erated with certain policemen ‘and that sometimes they were given cer- tain houses to rob. One half went to th) officer and the other half to the thief. Other stories were told of even more startling nature. Under fall police protection and assistance it is a wonder that any one can get through New York without being robbed.
