The employes of the electric lighting plants have responded to the call, and St. Petersburg is in darkness at night. The governor of Samara was instantly killed by a bomb thrown by an assassin, who was immediately arrested. There is said to be disaffection among the Moscow regiment of the guards quartered in St. Petersburg. The demands formulated by the men are both economic and political. The entire Sveaborg fortress is said to be again in the hands of the government, the prisoners being transferred to Skatudden Island. The emperor is reported to have flatly refused to accept the conditions to which Premier Stolypin agreed in his negotiations with other members for the reorganization of the cabinet. There is increasing apprehension that the emperor proposes to turn the country over to the military dictatorship of the Grand Duke Nicholas. St. Petersburg is filed with armed patrols. A report was current in Vibourg that the Russian flotilla stationed at Hanyo, Finland, had mutinied, imprisoned the officers and sailed to the assistance of the mutineers at Sveaborg. According to latest accounts the mutineers at Sveaborg had surrendered after heavy bombardment by the warships. The reports, however, were fragmentary and conflicting. Trouble has broken out in a fresh spot. Troops in the great fortresses of Sveaborg and Skatudden, on the gulf of Finland, the "Gibraltar of the ??? mutinied and some hard fighting has occurred between the mutineers and the loyal troops, participated in by the warships in the harbor. The first mutiny was reported suppressed, but late dispatches indicate that the mutineers held their positions and had possession of all the movable artillery,including quickfirers and machine guns. The situation was considered serious. The public prosecutor at St. Petersburg has begun proceedings against the late members of the lower house of parliament who signed the viborg manifesto. A manifesto to the peasants has been issued by the revolutionary bodies intended to inflame them to action against the government. Fighting is again going on between the Tartars on the one hand and the Armenians and Russianson the other in Transcaucasla. A large force of Tartars was repulsed in an attempt to enter Shusha.

A mole on the neck, in man or woman, promises a long and happy life, wealth and fame. A science, or pseudo-science, of miles has existed among the Pennsylvania Dutch for many years. A man with a mole in the middle of his forehead has a cruel mind; a woman with such a mole is foolish, idle and envious. A man with a mole on the left side of the upper lip rarely marries, and such a mole in the case of a woman denotes suffering. A mole on the right side of a man's forehead denotes wonderful luck; on the right side of a women's forehead, gifts from the dead. On the left side of a man's forehead a mole denotes a long term in prison; on the left side of a woman's forehead, two husbands, and a life of exile. According to this science, no one is without a mole or two, and these are some of the prognostications that mole wearers may draw from their brown ornaments: EVENTS OF EVERYWHERE. Capt. Ed. B. Willis, of Denton, has announced as a candidate for sergeant of arms of the House. Methodists of Waco are preparing for a great George Stuart meeting in September.

Engineer Harlan was severely hurt and Fireman Skelton mashed to a pulp. The wreck was evidently done by miscreants. Senator Bailey has filed his campaign expense bill of $41.80, as follows: Postage, $5.08; assessments by thirty-four counties to cover cost of printing name on official ballots, $34; fees for money orders; $1.02; stationery, $1.50. F. Rendor, of Cameron, died suddenly while sitting at the breakfast table. The cause of his death was heart trouble. The day before he was down town shaking hands with friends, though his health has not been very good for some time. India's Cotton Crop. The cotton crop of India was larger last year, 1905, than the general average. About 20,000,000 acres were planted in cotton and the yield was about 3,500,000 bales. During the year there were exported from India to other countries over 2,125,000 bales of raw cotton at a value of over $81,000,000, the four countries, Japan, Germany, Belgium, and Italy, in the order named, being the largest purchasers, they together buying nearly 1,500,000 bales of Indian cotton, while Japan alone took nearly 500,000 bales. Still Seek "Treasure Island." "Treasure Island" is still a mystery. The steam yacht Rose Marine, which left England in October, 1903 to search for the treasure which tradition says pirates concealed on Cocos Island, in the Pacific, has returned to Southampton. Capt. Mathews, the skipper, is reticent as to the results of the voyage, and only says that his belief in the project has been strengthened. The work of searching the island is very difficult. Ancestry of Dion Boucicault. The name of Boucicault, is French in origin. Dion Boucicault was the son of a French refugee who fled to Ireland and married an Irish girl.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" an Operetts. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been given as an operetta. It was originally sung at the Music Hall, Lynn, Mass., October 6, 1886. DEATH OF SIDNEY C. OLIVE The death of Sidney C. Olive, which occurred at his home in Waco, shortly after 4 o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, August 4th, 1906, cast a gloom of deep sorrow in the hearts of many of his old Bastrop friends. Mr. Olive had been in wretched health for a long time, and for several years has sought the most scientific medical aid, often an inmate of the leading Sanitariums of the country, but his disease haffled all medical science, and at no time did he get more than temporary relief. On the day before he died he appeared much better, seemed improving, and declared he felt better than he had felt for a long time. Saturday he was suddenly stricken with paralysis, and rapidly grew worse, expiring a little after 4 o'clock, p. m. before relatives from a distunce who had, soon as his serious condition was known been notified, could reach his bedside. Mr. Olive was born in Tennessee in the year 1833, in youth he with his parents located in Missississippi,coming with his parents to Texas in 1852, then but 19 years old, returning to Tennessee at the beginning of the civil war, enlisting as a soldier in a Tennessee company he made a brave and gallant soldier, participated in many hard fought battles, and, at Shiloh every officer and about every member of his company killed; he alone escaping death, was taken prisoner, put under bond patrol and at the fall of Vicksburg made his escape, returning to Texas, living at Bastrop, Alleyton, Columbus, for the last thirty years a citizen of Waco. After the war he married Miss Carter, of LaGrange, who with two daughters, survive him. He was buried at Waco, Sunday, relatives from Bastrop in attendance at funeral, his sister Mrs. D. H. Wilbarger, nephew, J. L. Wilbarger, and brothers, James E., and L. W. Olive. SHERIFF'S SALE.

HEAVY LOADED WAGONS ARE CROSSING SAFELY. NO FURTHER INTERUPTION. You can now bring your Cotton and Country Produce to the Bastrop market without Fear of Detention at the River Bank. FIVE COTTON BUYERS In Bastrop to Bid for Your Cotton, Insuring You the Very Highest Market Price for Your Cotton. COME AND BE CONVINCED. On account of the busy season, and constant demand for crossing the River Bridge at Bastrop, the Board of Trade held a special meeting Tuesday, with Judge Page present, to discuss the situation and in some way devise a plan by which the river bridge, badly needing repair, might be placed in condition for the heavy loaded wagons to safely cross and that in the shortest possible time. Judge Page stated that after inspection and talking with the contractor he was satisfied that by deferring the contemplated permanent repairs until the busy season was over, certain temporary repairs, the bad condition demanding prompt, immediate attention, could be made so that heavily loaded wagons could cross with safety, the work done and bridge ready for travel, in a very few days; that if such plan met approval of citizens, he would see that the necessary temporary repairs were completed, bridge ready for safe heavy wagon travel by Friday afternoon; sooner, if possible. The matter was discussed, finally a motion approving the plan suggested by Judge Page, unanimously adopted, the meeting adjourned, work on the bridge pushed, and by Wednesday noon, the bridge was ready for travel, wagons crossing, and it is safe to say, there will be no more interruption or detention at the river bridge. Now, you can bring your cotton and produce to the Bastrop market, where you will get the highest market price for it, and buy your supplies at the very lowest figures; our cotton buyers giving you top figures for your fleeecy staple, the merchant will pay you, in cash, highest price for other farm produce, and in return, furnish you farm and home supplies at lowest figures-for less than they can be bought in surrounding markets.

FARMER'S CO-OPERATIVE UNION OF AMERICA. With the knowledge that the cotton school can give, there will be no reason why farmers should be cheated out of from $1 to $5 a bale on cotton by wrong classification. The cotton school at Dallas has been a wonderful success from start to finish. The attendance was about sixty, and good men were turned away because of lack of facilities to handle them. A similar school is now in operation at Durant, I. T., and is meeting with gratifying success. (The rest of article not transcribed. Contains sayings and hype, examples follow) Every now and then references are made in the papers to the prevalence of insanity in country homes. It is argued that the isolated lives which the farmers and their wives live conduce to such results. It is claimed that the farmer's wives are more prone to become thus affected than their husbands. This question has been investigated recently, and from statistics obtained it has been ascertained tht the proportion of inmates of asylums from the country is less relatively than from the city. This is what we would naturally expect from the greater healthfulness of the country life. A scandal has developed in the Southern Cotton Association. Certain officials of that self-declared bulwark of southern agriculture stand charged with crookedness in connection with "bucket shops and speculation in cotton futures while managing the affairs of the association." Such as that is why the Farmers Union demands actual farmers for officers.-Farmers Journal. PUTNAM FADELESS DYES do not stain the hands or spot the kettle, except green and purple. Foremost of French Veterans. The French government has just pensioned off Francois Geromini,the guardian of the Bastiel column. Geromini was a character. He left Corsica 60 years ago to serve in the grenadiers of the imperial guard. He fought in the campaigns of Algiers and of Rome, and also in 1870 with Bourbaki. He was made a prisoner and taken to Darmstadt and at the fall of the empire became concierge of the Bastile. New Element in Commerce. Ramie, a species of gigantic nettle which produces, directly beneath its outer bark, a fiber that can be woven alone or in conjunction with either wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth into which it is woven a beautiful silky finish, is being produced in China at the present time to an extent that promises to make it an important element in the world's commerce. Unlike cotton, it is not an annual crop; once planted it will produce for a dozen years. It does not ripen evenly, and as soon as one crop is pulled the plant goes on producing again; occasionally, in tropical countries-and it is only in a very warm climate that it can be grown-one plant will give four crops in a year. A good stand of plants will run from two to three tons of fiber per acre. THE BEST TIME FOR PLANTING CURRANTS. Currants are about the cheapest and easiest crop of fruit to produce, requiring very little time and labor as compared with many others, states American Gardening. For fillers, or what might be termed a catch crop, they are indispensable, when grown between plum, pear, peach, cherry and quince trees. They can be grown in an orchard of any of these fruits without retarding or injuring the trees. When currants are fruited in this way it is merely a question of more manure or fertilizer. Every intelligent fruit grower will understand this at once. Under this system of intensive gardening you have a nice income from your currants, while your fruit trees are developing and getting ready for fruiting. It depends entirely upon yourself as to how long these bushes will bear large, marketable fruit. No matter how great a sacrifice it may seem, you should remove two-thirds of the new wood each season. Failing to do this you will soon have a lot of overgrown bushes on your hands, and the fruit will dwindle in size and be imperfect in many ways. On the other hand, if you prune judiciously, spray as often as is necessary, manure well and cultivate thoroughly, you can keep your plantation of currants in perfect order for at least ten years an done year with an other, you will be well recompensed for your investment and labor.

TYROLEAN YODLERS Reilhofer's Tyrolean Yodlers, a quartet of first class artists, opened a five night's engagement last night at Scholtz' garden before a large and delighted audience. This quartet came here highly recommended and those who witnessed their initial performance last night were more than amply repaid and will no doubt be present at the subsequent performances. This quartette is composed of Mr. And Mrs. Franz Reilhofer and Mises anna and Katye Kirschmeyer, each of whom is a first class artist in his or her line. Alpine yodling is a peculiar style of warbling with which mountaineers of the Tyrol, the Swiss and the Bavarian Alps sing their songs. Each verse of the songs they sing is finished with "yodling," but always without words. A difficult task, indeed it is to learn to yodle as the mountaineers of Switzerland do it unless the talent is inbred, as the sound comes entirely from the throat.-Anstin Statesman. The Tyrolean Yodlers will appear at the opera house here Tuesday night, August 14.
