St. Petersburg, Dec. 18.—A
shudder of horror has convulsed
Russia. The government claims
it has given battle only to the

populace generally believes that

Already the leaders of the pole-
tarian organization who escaped
capture Saturday night at the
economic society and even men
of the rank of Prof. Miloukoff
are in hiding from the police who
are hunting them down. The
government evidently anticipates
a battle royal and has made its
dispositions accordingly. It ful-
ly understands that the proletar-

rests.

KATY AGENT HELD UP BY
UNKNOWN HIGHWAYMEN
Makes a Good Cash Haul-Forced
Agent to Cut Telephone Wire.
Farmersville, Tex. Dec. 18.—
Tonight at 7:30 o’clock the depot
office of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway company was rob-
bed by two masked men, who, at
the point of pistols and with
threats of instant death, com-
pelled the agent, W. M. Grose-
close to open the safe and the
drawers.
The men, as stated by Mr.
Groseclose appeared at the door-
way while he was alone, covering
him with pistols. They com-
manded the agent to keep quiet,
and after securing the contents
of the safe, which is estimated at
$700, they forced Mr. Groseclose
to cut the telephone wire and
commanded him to keep quiet for
ten minutes after their departure
under further threats of death if
an alarm were given before the
expiration of that time-
When the ten minutes were up
Mr. Groseclose hurriedly came
up town, a distance of nearly a
quarter of a mile, and gave the
a arm. Officers and citizens at
once organized a posse and are
making a determined search for
the highwaymen.
So far no clew of any nature
has been secured,except that the
men were supposed to be white.

Fort Worth, Dec. 18—Among
the matters to be considered by
the session of the Fort Worth
city council at its regular meet*
ing tonight is service of notice of
damages alleged to have occrued
to W H. Good, who, through his
attorney, W. Erstine Williams,
claims $2000 following arrest by
police officers,
Good asserts that November 21
he was arrested, but that the
cause of his arrest and detention
was not communicated to him;
that he was imprisoned three
days and three nights; that, be-
ing thus incarcerated, he was
subjected to great indignities,
forced to stay in the same room
with negroes, forced to lie in the
same bed with negroes and with
Mexicans; that he received other
cruel and unjust treatment from
which he suffered physical and
mental pain and anguish, and hu-
miliation beyond measure. ,
he constantly requested to be
taken before the city judge to
present his cause, but that this
privilege was denied. He says
he has been informed that some-
body lost some sort of a package
and suggested that possibly he
had taken the same. This, Mr.
Good declares, is wholly false.

Chicago, Dec. 18.—Ridiculing
the idea that the world is in dan-
ger of being depopulated through
race suicide and upholding the
right of divorce, Rev. A. Arnold
Ross, pastor of Ryder Memorial
church, today delivered a lecture
upou “The Coming Woman ” He
declared it would be better for
the nation and bettes for human-
ity to have elbow room for good
men than the p-esence of teem
ing m l ions struggling for a
chance to live. Turning to di-
vorce, he said its increase was
not due to lessened morality,
but to the fact that the husband
was no longer entiilpd to beat
and abuse his wife without fear
of consequence.
“The chief function of woman-
hood is rot child-bearing, any
more than the chief business of
man is parentage. To contend
otherwise is to lower humanity
to the levei of the brute creation.
In a predatory age man is the
chief need of nations. In an eth-
ical age man is the chief need.
More men are required for a na-
tion that aims atmartial strength
better men become the strength
of a nation that seeks after
righteousness. We need have
n: fear that the world will be
come depopulated—nature will
take care of that. The future of
this count’-y crowded with six
hundred million people a century
hence is not a very happy out*
look.”

Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec. 18.—
A letter recently received from
W. O. Spears, midshipman on
the Wisconsin, gives a graphic
description of the reception
tendered Admiral Togo at Yok-
ohama by Gov. and Mme. Sufu
of the Japanese government
Among other things, he said that
wherever Admiral Togo moved
he was surrounded by immense
crowds who desired to grasp his
hand.
At the governor’s reception,
he says, an amusing incident
took place in which Admiral To-
go, who was very hilarious, was
helped on a table with a glass of
champagne in his hand to give a
toast, and as he begun to make a
speech, dropped the glass of liq-
uor on the bead of a British of-
ficer who aat nearby, berribbou

style.
