BOMBARDS CITIES
TO KILL OFF REDS
Governor of Siedlce Turns
Cannon Loose on
Terrorists.
HIS ULTIMATUM REJECTED
Two Days' Massacre Falls to Subdue
Jews, and Horror Is Renewed.
Fugitives Driven Back on
Soldiers' Bayonets.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 11. (3:15 A.
M.) Advices from Seldlce received during
the night are to the effect that fighting
and bombarding of houses, which ceased
about midday on Monday, was resumed
late In the afternoon, apparently In con
sequence of Governor Engelke's demand
that the Jewish and Polish populace de
liver up to him the members of the Jew
ish Self-Defense Association. The bund
refused this, preferring death In the open
to a tame surrender, and resumed the
battle. Artillery was again brought Into
action, but It Is not known If the fight
ing still continues.
Censor Hides Horrors.
It Is Impossible to obtain full details of
the events at Seidlce. as the authorities
absolutely forbid communication and turn
back all correspondents. The Associated
Press correspondent at Warsaw, after
several times vainly endeavoring to enter
the stricken town of Seldlce, was obliged
lo give up the. effort at midnight.
At Rudgusowska, 40 miles east of War
saw, which Is the site of the great Syzra
dow Mills, conditions similar to those at
Seidlce were witnessed. The soldiers are
said to have killed 40 persons.
Fugitives' from Seldlce report that . -ernpr
Engelke Issued an ultimatum de
claring that he would bombard the whole
town unless the terrorises surrendered.
In consequence of the pillage and de
struction, the peasants are suffering for
food and water.
Drunken Soldiers Kill and I;oot.
A telegram received here late last night
from Siedlce, from a resident who suc
ceeded In smuggling it through the cen
sorship, says that pillaging commenced
Saturday night Instead of Sunday, and
after a few minutes of firing In Warsaw
street the soldiers broke Into gin shops,
became clrunk and then entered Indis
criminately the apartments of houses of
all classes, killing, pillaging and com
mitting under cover of the walls the
most heinous crimes. The number of
victims is unknown, but It Is placed at
lno. Most of the corpses are hidden In
the ruins of houses.
The pillage and demolition, beginning
early Saturday night, was not slackened
until Monday morning and continued In
termittently throughout the day.
None Allowed to Depart.
The town is cordoned and the railroad
station, which Is In the outskirts of the
town, is isolated, and Jews, and Poles
seeking to reach the station are taken
back en masse. Trains are made to stop
half a mile away to prevent civilians
from entering them. Two more battal
ions of troops have arrived from Blaly
stok. - Not a single store Is Intact In Warsaw
and Peknaya, the principal commercial
streets. Most of the victims now In hos
pitals are wounded by gunshots or bayo
nets, showing the responsibility of the
soldiers. Crowds of roughs are ranging
the streets under the encouragement and
protection of the troops, and the Jewish
inhabitants are hiding like rats in their
cellars.
DROWN REVOLT IN BLOOD
Ravages of Peasants in Veronezh
Suppressed by Brutality.
VORONEZH, Soutn Russia, Sept. 10.
A correspondent of the Associated Press
has Just completed an Investigation of
the uprising of peasants in this prov
ince, which is situated In that nart of
what is known as the "Black Belt," ex
tending from the Don to the Volga. In
the petty act of tyranny which provoked
the Indignant land-mad peasantry, the
savage wildness with which the Moujlks
ravaged and burned estates, the role
played by the revolutionary agitators and
the ruthless fashion in which the Insur
rection was finally suppressed and guilty
and Innocent alike made to suffer, it pre
sents a typical picture to the reader of
what is daily chronicled in the cable dis
patches as "agrarian disorders."
The uprising lasted 12 days, during
which 142 estates were ravaged, the manor
houses, stables and outbuildings plun
derer? and burned, horses and stock run
off or maimed and left to die, and sur
plus hay. fodder and grain put to Vie
torch. In the single district of Bobrov
3 properties were destroyed, the light of
the flames illuminating the heavens for a
distance of 60 miles. The nobles and
other landed proprietors generally fled in
terror to the cities, only a few making
any attempt to protect their property.
The troops, mostly Cossacks and dra
goons, were slow in arriving, but when
they did put in an appearance they shot
and flogged the ' peasantry Into submis
sion, and the village and city Jails of
the province are still filled with peasants,
"awaiting trial," although hundreds have
already been deported to Siberia by "ad
ministrative order."
The Immediate cause of the uprising
was the refusal of Governor-General Blb
blkoff to allow Grushoff, a member of
the Douma, to render an account of his
stewardship to his peasant constituents.
The Douma was at that time still in ses
sion and Grushoff, who was a member
of the Group of Toll had a mandate from
his poeple to secure "land and liberty."
News that the meeting afterward was
to have been held in the City of Voro
nezh wag circulated throughout the prov
ince and the peasantry came to attend It
from all directions, some traveling over
100 miles on foot to do so. Many came
with their children, some In a cart and
horse, which constituted the entire fami
ly possession, or on horseback or on
foot
Upon the day when the meeting was
to be held they went to the public square.
where Grushoff was to speak, only to
flnrt it occupied by Crs-acks. and when
they hesitated about obeying the Injunc
tion of the police to return home they
were literally whipped out of the city.
With bitterness in their hearts they
trudged homeward protesting:
"We came not to listen to the whizzing
of knouts. But to the words of our
Deputy.
In this frame of mind they became
eisv prey of the revolutionary agitators,
who were quick to .else the occasion to
incite them to take what was denied
them. Wayside groutw were harangued
by orators who knew how to contrast the
luxurious residences of the gentry with
the miserable straw thatched .hacijs o'
the pessnnts. and urgeil them to destroy
the dwellings of the masters as ir.e easi
est and quickest way of forcing them to
surrender the land Into the hands of
those who tilled It. They were urged to
go to their villages and three days later
to rlse.
Thls the peasantry of the northern part
of the province, where the ' Peasants'
League was well organized, agreed to do,
and upon the day set the bell towers of
half a hundred villages simultaneously
summoned the moujlks to begin the work
of destruction. It was a nondescript
army which took the field. The weapons
consisted chiefly of agricultural imple
ments, pitchforks, cythes and axes. They
were practically In rags, bareheaded,
barefooted, but the different groups of
from 400 to 1000 wandered into different
directions, led by agitators, and all car
ried the emblem of revolt.
Aimlessly, without definite plan, except
to burn out the proprietors and summon
all whom they met to Join in the work of
"emancipation," they set forth on their
journey, with red flags at their head and
revolutionary songs in their mouths. As
they moved some of the bands swelled
rapidly while others fell to pieces.
Straight toward he South the ' main
bady moved, putting the torch to the
mansions of all the gentry in their path.
In many places standing grain was
burned. Upon their approach the land
lords wlth their families hastily gathered
together what they could and fled. On
the way the peasantry accumulated all
sorts of plunder but principally wagons,
horses, and cattle. For paintings, valu
able furniture, priceless bric-a-brac with
which many of the manor houses were
adorned, they cared nothing, hacking to
pieces everything which they did not
burn or could not carry away. The poli
tical opinions of the owner mattered
nothing to them, liberal or monarchist,
noble, or burgeois, it was all the same.
None was spared.
The first big estate burned, as It hap
pened, was one belonging to Count Shere
roatieff, & notorious reactionary, who pos
sesses 55 estates in Russia, and who has
always exercised a great influence at
court. Among the other larger estates
devastated were those of Princess Olden
burg, and that of V. Kapkanschikoff.
whose residence contained a priceless
museum of mediaeval Russian armor, art,
etc., worth about J500.000.
Kapanischlkoff, escaped, saving nothing
but the clothes they wore. The residence
of Kabonoff was practically the only
one spared. Instead of burning It the
peasantry loaded all the furniture and
valuables. Including Winter provisions,
into wagons which were attached to their
train. Thence the "army," moved down
the Bitchuk. a branch of the Con River,
burning and destroying everything to
which they could apply the torch. In all
63 estates were laid waste, 14 In one
night. These included the palatial man
sion of M. Zweglnsteff, a brother of the
governor of Livonia.
They met their flrBt real opposition and
their first defeat at "Rlpp," the estate of
Prince Alexis Orloff, whose famous stud
is renowned throughout the world. This
estate was protected by B0 Cossacks. The
band of peasants detached for the work
of destroying Prince Orloff's property con
sisted of about 1000 men. who made a
night attack. They advanced to the as
sault with the fanaticism of dervishes,
breasting the magazine carbines of the
Cossacks with scythes and axes, and only
retiring when 41 had been killed and 105
had been wounded.
When they finally broke, the Cossacks,
riding among them with their whips,
turned the retreat into a rout. Enraged
by this defeat, they ravaged the country
round about, burning out 23 proprietors,
including M. Kulubaky, editor of the Vero
nezh Slovo, a Constitutional Democratic
paper and then having received accessions
to their ranks they returned two days
afterward to the estate of Prince Orloff.
This time their attack was successful, as
most of the Cossacks had been withdrawn
elsewhere in the belief that all danger
there was over.
The small guard which had been left was
killed to a man, after which they ran
sacked the manor house and after steal
ing what was portable they destroyed the
art treasures, broke up the antique furni
ture for which the mansion was famous
and Anally gave the residence to the
flames. ...
The celebrated stables were then sur
rounded. Fortunately the brood mares,
which were kept at some distance; had
been driven off by me stable boys. But
the stallions and foals, which included 12
about to be sent to the Spanish court,
were all stolen or killed. The blooded
horses, however, were not maimed, as
reported in the dispatches at the time.
The only wanton mutilation of blooded
stock, so far as investigation showed, took
place in the village of Martin, where the
trotter stud of M. Kapkanschikoff was
killed in the most atrocious fashion. The
horses were hamstrung and In some in
stances their tongues were cut out and
otherwise mutilated and turned out to die.
The peasants acted like fiends. In an
hour and a half they had burned 30
buildings and every building was In ruins.
For cash only did the peasants of tho
estates make any attempt to defend the
property of their landlords, but their
resistance was unavailing. In every other
Instance the peasants joined the insur
rection. During all this time, while the
most beautiful part of the province was
being laid waste, the government had ac
complished nothing. The dragoons and
Cossacks sent in pursuit of the roaming
bands in each Instance arrived from, one
to three days late.
Finally, however, with two columns of
cavalry, consisting of about 1600 Cossacks
and dragoons, he succeeded in cutting off
the main body south of Bobrov and driv
ing them to the left bank of the Don.
Finding themselves cornered, many of
the peasants succeeded in breaking
through the lines, but about 700 with their
carts and plunder were captured. .
Before surrendering he peasants, many
of whom by this time managed to equip
themselves with arms taken from the
houses of the gentry, shotguns, old mus
kets, revolvers, etc., made a stand behind
their wagons. They fought with consid
erable courage, but the trained volleys of
soldiers soon forced fhem to cry for
mercy. When the captured were "round
ed up" it was found that practically all
the leaders had escaped, and of the 10,0i)0
or more peasants who had taken part In
the rising not more than 300, including
many women and children, were actually
tiLkeu.
Thereupon the Governor, accompanied
by several solniaa of Cossacks,- started on
a tour of the villages to mete out pun
ishment to the offenders. The peasants
of each village were summoned before
him and his troops and Instructed to give
up the leaders and all who participated.
The same plan was pursued every
where. Those guilty of pillaging were
ordered to go to the. right and those
who had not to take the left and the
result was everywhere the same. Inva
riably all would go to the right. The
poorest moujlks, who had no part In
the expeditions, fearing condign pun
ishment, would begin to point out the
guilty. Crimination and recrimination
would follow, and finally the Cossacks
would be turned loose and the whole
population of the village would be
given a beating. Such leaders as could
be found were sent back to Voronezh
or to the other towns for deportation
to Siberia. A number of the most dan
gerous agitators who were caught were
executed without even the formality of
a court-martial.
The prison at Voronezh, which the
Associated Press correspondent visited
is still crammed with peasants. It is
guarded like a fortress. Attempts to
secure permission to enter and talk
with the Inmates were unsuccessful.
The peasantry of the province is now
quiet under the rigorous repressions
which are being employed but the sul
len silence displayed Is more ominous
than visible resentment. Officials, land
owners and observers of the situation
look with dread to the Autumn after
their crops are in. Many proprietors
have no intention of returning to their
estates but are selling them to the
peasants' bank for what they will
bring.

Evasive Witness at Last Admits Oc
topus Owns Stock in His Com
pany Texas Forced
Reorganization.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10. When H. Clay
Pierce, chairman of the executive board
of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company ap
peared before Judge R. A. Anthony, Spe
cial Supreme Court Commissioner, at the
Southern Hotel, as a witness In the
ouster proceedings Instituted by the State
of Missouri against the Standard, Repub
lic and Waters-Pierce Oil Companies, ex
Judge H. S. Priest, Mr. Pierce's personal
counsel, conducted the examination In
chief. His first question was:
"Do you own any stock in either the
Republic Oil Company or the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana?" asked the at
torney. "No, and I never have."
"Dq any of these companies own any
stock In tho Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany?" Pierce consulted a memorandum which
he took from his coat.
"I understand that the shares of stock
standing on Its books in the name of
M. M. Van Buren have been admitted
in this case to belong to the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey," he replied.
"Can you state the number of shares?"
"I think it is 2745."
"How many do you own?"
"Twelve hundred and fifty."
Mr. Pierce described the forming of the
Waters-Pierce' Oil Company and stated
that up to the time of the first liquida
tion In 1900 the business had flourished.
"About that time," said Mr. Pierce, "an
inexperienced agent of the company in
Texas entered into an agreement with the
Standard Oil Company which resulted in
our being ousted from that state. I took
the matter up with the Texas authori
ties and was frankly Informed that no
Missouri company controlled by the
Standard Oil Company doing business
according to its methods would be tol
erated in that state.
"After the re-organizatlon in 1900, until
the Spring of 1904, the Standard OH Com
pany made no attempt to Interfere with
my control or management of the Waters
Pierce Company. At that time the Stand
ard Oil Company transferred the 2745
shares of stock held in my name to M.
M. VanBuren and began in many ways
to dictate the policy of the Waters-Pierce
Company. I protested vigorously against
this interference."
Mr. Pierce was arrested today on an
attachment issued several weeks ago in
a civil suit for salary, brought by John
P. Gruet, ex-secretary of the Waters
Pierce Company, against that company.
"After frequent interviews and discus
sions on this subject," continued Mr.
Pierce, "tie management and control of
the company were again committed to
my direction and my eon. Clay Arthur
Pierce, Is now president of the company
and conducting it as an Independent
business."

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi
cal strength Is derived from food. If a
man has Insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food be dies. Food is con
verted into nutrition through the stom
ach and bowels. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and Its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or-
?an of the body. If the stomach is "weak"
he body will be weak also, because it Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of Its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of "weak" stom
ach will be distributed among the or-
fans which compose the body. If the
ody Is weak because It Is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs heart, liver, kidneys, etc
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or Irregular action 01
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
Mr. Louis Pare, of Quebec writes: "For
years after my health began to fail, my bead
grew diuy, eyes pained me, and my stomach
was sore all the time, while everything I
would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead
on my stomach. The doctors claimed that
It was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia,
and prescribed for me, and although 1 took
their powders regularly yet I felt no better.
My wife advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and stop taking the doc
tor's medicine. Fhe bought me a bottle and
wo soon found that 1 began to improve, so I
kept up the treatment, 1 took on flesh, my
stomach became normal, the digestive organs
worked perfectly and 1 soon began to look
like a different person. I can never cease to
be gTateful for what your medicine has done
for me and I certainly give it highest praise."
Don't be wheedled by a penny-grabbing
dealer into taking Inferior substitutes for
Dr. Pierce's medicines, recommended to
be "Just as good."
