Russia itself few people know of its
horrors. The official report minim-
zes it as ueual,jnerely stating that
a party of Jews at BialUtok threw
bomb which killed some soldiers.
whereupon tbe troops In self-defense
fired,' and that "dariDg the acuffle"
40 Jews were killed and lSOwouod-ed.
But reports from a correepond-
ent eay trustworthy eye-witnesses
draw a sanguinary picture. Bail-
istok lies near tbe junction of the
St. Petersburg-Warsaw and the
ECoenigsberg-0 JeBsa railroads, and
many troops are quartered there.
The town has 65,ooo inhabitants,
three-quarters of ihem Jews. Sjme
Jewish workloeaicn were arrested
there three weeks ago, and treated
witb exceptional brutality by the
soldiers and policemen, whose offi
cers threatened openly that they
would cruBh the Jewish population
and "teach the Jews a lesson."
A email gathering of Jews, pos
sibly Socialist?, but not authorized
by the Socialist party to act, order
ed that the bruial treatment of
their alleged coreligionists ba av
enged. The persons picked to . do
this work. threw a bomb on August
12 among some soldiers, of whom
thren were killed, while a dozen
workingmen were wounded, some
fatallv. This was tbe signal for a
violent outbreak by the troops
against all the Jews, innocent and
guilty alikf. Soldiers marched up
and down Baihslok streets, shooting
indiscriminately whoever was in
eight. They entered the houses,
killing and robbing the occupants
six cases there and of the attempt
to blame New Orleans tor them.
This is regarded as rather strange
in view of the fac t that of all of
the tight quarantine against New
Orleans, Natchez had maintained
tbe tig bet t, not even allowing its
own people to return here if they
have been near New Orleans.
Seattle, Aug. 26 The Chinese
government has succeed! eg in
breaking up meetings held for the
purpose of boycotting American
goods and is preventing the spread
of its movement by agitators. The
vernacular jrress been- compelled to
abandon its campaign but among
those who have taken up the fight
no headway has been made toward
its suppression.
This is the way Woo Bing, a part
ner in Qaong Tuck & Co. earns up
the situation: He has just return
ed from China, and is convinced
that as soon as a new treaty is sign
ed or a promise of changes is made
by the American government, the
sentiment among those who have
led the fight will die out.
"It is impossible for the Chinese
government to compel Chinese to
eat American flour or to buy Am
erican goods," said Woo Bing to
day. "Bat the government can
and is euceediDg in breaking up the
boycott meetings. Tbe government
has succeeded in stopping tbe re-
esentatives of the boycotters who
go trom town to town to talk
against American goods, and strang-
rs going uto a new town for news
of tbe fight find it a)m')et impossible
o learn anything. The boycotters
are afraid to hold public meetings
or to give information to thoee they
do not know.
'Of course the boycott has spread
widely and a large percentage of
Chinese know of the fight. Some
of the boycotters have secured co
pies of ail American trademarks
and other signs that show Ameri
can manufacture. These have
been shown the people, so they will
kuow what not to buy. The work
has stopped because the govern
ment interfered.''
Pendleton, Or. Aug 27. The
worst wind and dust stolmever ex
perienced in Pendleton struck the
city at 4 o'clock this afternoon and
the damage done, though large,
cannot yet be ascertained. Tbe
storm came from the north, and
teemed to be general, Pendleton
being the heart of the hurricane,
The city was shrouded in com
plete darkness, and for ten minutes
it was impossible to distinguish
ot jects five feet distant, even in
houses well protected from the dust
Vox over ao hour the storm raged,
leaving a trail of devastation. The
plate glass fronts of stores of R.
Alexander. Sullivan & Bond, and
C. C. Sbarp were shattered. Awn
ings were torn from the buildings
and swept away like chaff. The
scaffolding around tbe new Eagle's
building was wrecked.
Nearly all dry goods merchants
will lose heavilv, as the dust col
lected a quarter of an inch thick in'
the store, soiling merchandise.
Many homes in the city will suffer
greatly from the onslaught of the
terrible storm.
The air was close anfl stifling
and tbe dust entered " homes, sever
al people narrowly escaping suffo
cation. It has been unusually dry
this summer, having been no rain
since tbe middle of June.
Unharvested wheat which was in
the trail of tbe storm, baa been al
most totally destroyed. Farmers
who arrived in the city state that!
grain was badly shattered, and
nothing more than straw remains.
Many stacks of wheat yet unthresh
ed were blown down and the grain
scattered about the fields. Farmers
will lose thousands of dollars.
Telegraph and telephone wires
are down in many places and for
ces of men have been at work re
pairing them.

Kuth, the little daughter of E. 2s. Dewey
of Agnewville, Va., was seriously ill of
cholera infantum last summer. "We gave

one hour to another," he says. "I happened
to think of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Eemedy and got a bottle of it
from the store. In five hours I saw a change
for the better. We kept on giving it and
before she had taken the half of one small
bottle she was well." This remedy is for sale
