Lost Calf Found With Wild Deer. An odd story comes ..up from Great Island, in Portland harbor, in connec tion with the deer situation down there. Last fall a calf belonging to Frank'Stevens" strayed away and, al though " efforts were'made to find it, . could_not.be"located; Recently, however, some gunners who were out hunting saw the long lost calf in company with a deer, and since that time .the two have been seen together on several occasions, sometimes the calf being with several deer. It is evident that the little ani mal has been adopted by the deer ot Great Island and has now become one of their" number.

JOHN At SALIER 6EE0 BO* ?.o.?. L.3 Orosse, WIBI STORMY CONDITIONS .Worse. Troubles Confront Russians At Home LABORING PEOPLE STILL RESTLESS Labor Delegates Representing the Whole Industrial Popoulation of St? Petersburg Issue Peremptory w?' mads Which the Government ls Almost Certain Not to Grant. St. Petersburg, By Cable.-Black clouds are again lowering over the in dustrial, situation of Russia. The strike at Moscow has been resumed on -a large scale, anarchy reigns in the Caucasus, and at St. Petersburg the measures which the government ad vanced to quiet discontent and restore good relations between masters and men appear to have failed, with the probability of causing the storm to break anew. The labor delegates representing the whole of the industrial population of St .Petersburg, and 'who were elect ed to choose fifty members of the Schidioski reconciliation commission met again Thursday and reaffirmed the resolutions adopted the previous day, which threatened, in case the demands are not granted, not only to refuse to elect labor representatives to the commission, but to order a re sumption of the general strike. These demands are for the release of imprisoned workmen and freedom from arrest, unhampered speec'., fi ?1 publicity of meetings of the commis sion, and the abolition of the censor ship. A practical ultimatum was deliver ed, calling for an answer today, and there is little expectation that the government will grant the conditions demanded. The strike already has assumed large proportions here, about 50,000 men being out. Among those who struck yesterday are the employ es of the St. Petersburg shops of the: Warsaw Railway. The strike-has riot vet extended to the trainmen, but 'the .;aders may decide to order them out in order to paralyze one of the most important railroads in Russia. New Burden on Railway, St. Petersburg, By Cable.-In a'long dispatch from General Kuropatkin which was received here, the com mander-in-chief of the army in Man churia gives details of various at tacks by the Japanese during the last few days, and a dispatch from Mukden received at midnight, indicates a con tinuation of the artillery duel; but neither report throws any light upon the rumored intention of General Ku ropatkin to withdraw northward, which has been the gossip of St. Pe tersburg for the past two days. A private dispatch received last night concludes with this significant sen tence: "Within two weeks you may expect great events." The Siberian Railway, which is be ing worked to its full capacity by purely military trafile, is about to have a further burden imposed upon it-namely, that of feeding the resi dent non-combatant.population.^ the stocks of provisions in Siberia were not as large a? usual at the beginning of the winter and are now run low. The government has been informe^, that provisions mus^be^im^??ieXl}y the raflro??~T?r*inat the towns will be face to face with famine within a fortnight. This will necessitate some delay in the forwarding of military supplies, which are sorely needed at the present moment." No Tobacco Trust Investigation. WashingtoH, Special-No action will be taken by the House at this session on the Kehoe resolution for an investi gation of the "tobacco trust." ,Repre sentative Smith, of Kentucky, who was delegated by the judiciary committee to consult the Attorney General on the subject, has found it impossible to ar range a satisfactory interview, and ex pressed the opinion that with the steel trust and Standard Oil investigation, the Department of Commerce and La bor will be running to its full capacity during the summer. Must He Rereat? St. Petersburg, By Cable.-Word comes from a high source that Gen eral Kuropatkin considers his position on the Shakhe river to be menaced to such an extent by General Kuroki's success on the left flank as to necessi tate the immediate withdrawal of this army to Tie Pass, and has so advised Emperor Nicholas. No confirmation of this is obtainable in military circles here, where it is pointed out that with the Japanese pressing the whole Rus sian line such an operation must al most inevitably end in a disaster of the first magnitude. To Print Boll Weevil Literature, Washington, Special.-The President sent to Congress an elaboration of an agricultural bulletin published a year ago, and containing the observations for 1904, relating to the boll weevil.

Cable.-General Kuropatkin, in a dispatch to Emperor Nicholas dated Friday, says: "Ten at tacks made by two Japanese battal ions and some cavalry west of the village of Tansingtcng have been re pulsed.

"Seventeen years ago a man con tracted a debt with me, and as I had never been able to make collection, had to give it up as lost. There was no way to collect it by law, and you can imagine my surprise when I received a check to-day for $500.

THE TRICKS Co fie e flays on Some, It hardly pays to laugh before you are certain of fads, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of ?offee, but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it Again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. "So I commenced it again and con tinued about G months until my stom ach commenced neting bad apiri choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. Ono doctor said it wau neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my hus band three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my hus band hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirejy, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doc tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got lu mc I was so weak I could not sit up. "My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee, but I said: 'Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.' He and the others laughed at me and said: " 'The iden of coffee killing anybody.' " 'Well,' I said, 'it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it' "In thc grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good lt was but said- nothing to thc hired men and they thought they had drank coffee undi we iaughed and told thom.

Law Invoked to Keep Woman From Supernatural Detective Work. Once or twice a year some extraor dinary piece of evidence finds its way into the papers of the survival of the most primitive forms of witchcraft, and of the belief in the same, in parts Pf Ireland. As a r ale these cases transpire when the law is broken by persons ill-treat ing the supposed witch, as when last year an unfortunate woman was held on the fire to drive an evil spirit out of her. But the last few days have shown a novel case, in which the protection of the law was invoked to protect certain persons against a witch. An old Irish peasant woman had suf fered from the theft of a small sum of money. Being unable to discover the thief or thieves, she had made a straw image, dressed it up, stuck it full of pins, and pl'aced it on a bier, and proceeded to hold a "wake" or funeral party over it. She then de clared that her intention was to bury this image, with suitable invocations, with the certain result that as the straw of which it was made decayed away so would the body of the thief waste and dwindle. ' Certain of the neighbors (possibly with guilty consciences) asked that the police might stop this experiment in witchcraft, as it gave them great un easiness. _ Sharps and Flats.
