V Women Doctors in Siberia, *.V . - , / A number of influential Siberians j. are petitioning the ministry of education in St. Petersburg to allow women to be admitted to the medical faculty in the University of Tobolsk. > The petitioners point out that there is a wide field for women doctors ih Siberia, where it is often difficult for settlers to get medical aid. t There are many Mohammedans in m the country, and it is explained that W only women doctors can come to their ' ' ? ?? ?ll i.1 ineip m illness, as tue.) uu uut pcimn, men to see their wives and daughters. Many women have entered the medical profession in Russia proper, and there are a great many women practicing dentistry, a department of surgery which does not seem to have attractions for. the English women. f A Record Hailstorm. One of the worst hailstorms ever *, known in the United States occurred September 5, 1898, in Nodaway county, Missouri. The path of the storm was about three miles wide and eighteen miles long, its greatest violence being felt over a region of tour square miles east of Claremont. V , At one point in this region the fall of . hail was so heavy that a drift unprotected by artificial means remained lying on the ground for four weeks > after the storm. At the end of that time people in the neighborhood were found gathering the hail for the purpose of making ice crjam. During the storm cylindrical pieces of ice were picked up four inches long by about two and a half in dimeter. The growing corn was practically all destroyed.

Washington, May 13.?Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, left Washington this afternoon for Columbia for the purpose of attending the South Carolina State convention at that place Wednesday. In the event he can not get things going right for Congressman Undewood, it is understood, he will try to have the convention pass a resolution authorizing a preferential primary. South Carolina is strong for Wilson, ac& cording to what is said here, and it f would seem from the plans of Sena| tor Bankhead that he would use the preferential primary plan as a last 888 resort for Congressman Underwood |? to test the feeling in that State. Tomorrow he will confer with some of j the Underwood men in order to prepare for the day following. Beautiful line sample box papers and tablets just in at The Herald Book Store. Girl's Garb Shocking to Cop. Chicago, May 13.?Standing at Sheridan road and Edgecombe place last night, Policeman Roysell pointed out to a chance observer couples on motor cycles who darted past, but not so rapidly that the tight-fitting trousers of the girls were not plainly discernable. ri "One girl in particular," the policeman said, "may be seen any warm ni'o-bt Shp wpflrs hrieht vellow tiehts.

Savannah, Ga., May 12.?Ignited by a lightning bolt coming seemingly from a clear sky, twenty acres of storage sheds at the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad wharves here were swept by fire to-day, causing loss estimated at $460,000. One fireman was severely and several slightly injured. In the sheds 7,596 bales of cotton were burned, including 500 bales of sea island cotton. Three tugs and the United States boat Tybee played streams on the flames. A drenching downpour that lasted for *an hour, rain mixed with large hail, made no impression on the fire. Fireman Will Kearney suffered a broken leg. The loss is said to be covered by insurance. ?" > Alleged rxuiurre ixi * iisvu. Jacksonville, May 13.?Although feeling runs high in Gainesville against the negroes held in jail for the murder of Marshal C. H. Slaughter and Deputy Sheriff White, of Archer, Fla., reports from the office of Sheriff Ramsay, of Alachua county, this morning indicate that mob violence is not feared. J. A. Manning, the deputy, who by feigning death succeeded in wounding one of the negroes, Cain Perry, and in holding three others captive until help arrived, is in a serious condition from a bullet wound in the abdomen. He is being praised throughout the county to-day for his bravery. Three other negroes, making seven in all, with Cain Perry and his three sons, have been arrested charged * ' 1 x - ? ?A witn uiKing pan iu tut; piut, uui mc authorities believe there will not be sufficient evidence to hold any others than the Perry family. It is now certain that the negroes planned to ambush the officers in retaliation for the killing of Ben Stokes, a "blind tiger" operator some two months ago by Marshal Slaughter, who shot in self-defense. Kills Two Men. Knoxville, Tenn., May 13.?James and Luther Sizemore, cousins, were shot and killed late Sunday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff David Elliott, of Bell county, Ky. The dual tragedy occurred in a soft drink resort at Four Mile, Ky., near Middle&boro. The Sizemores are said to have been drinking and Elliott attempted to arrest Luther Sizemore, who had a pistol. Luther fired upon the officer, who retaliated, killing him. James Sizemore then attempted to secure the pistol of the dead man, whereupon Elliott shot him also. Elliott's son was shot in the leg, and seriously injured. After killing the men Elliott went to their homes and notified their wives and then surrendered to officers. Overlooking Details. Sam Y. Gordon is the lieutenant governor of Minnesota at present but thinks he would fit the gubernatorial chair the next crack out of the box. He is now moving about among the boys asking questions and trying to find a hole in the hedge. He is a jovial chap and always has a cheery word for his friends and acquaintances, and, in fact, is rather a good mixer. One morning in winter he dropped into a cafe patronized by some rather astute politicians and greeted the bunch with: "Hello, boys, it's snappy this morning; thermometer stands at 20." "Above or below?" asked the oldtimer gravely. "Thunder! I never looked," retorted Sam Y. in bewilderment.?St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Hopes Feud Will End. Jackson, Ky., May 13.?A prayer for peace among the mountain gun men was the last utterance of Ed. Callahan, feud leader, who died or Saturday night from wounds inflicted by ambushed clansmen. As he was dying he said: "I have forgiven my enemies and I want their to know it. I want all my people tc live in peace, pull together and dc the best they can." Rumors that Callahan's friends were gathering at his home at Crockettsvllle when they learned of his critical condition aroused fear of retaliatory measures, which would bring about a renewal of the bloodj feud war and the countryside is watching developments with inter est to see whether Callahan's expressed desire for peace will serve tc avert trouble. His body was taken to Crockettsville to-day for burial. TTndpr psrort of 100 armed mem bers of his clansmen, the body of Ed Callahan was buried this afternoor at Crockettsville. When the news of his death Saturday night spread it caused more excitement than his shooting fron ambush a week ago. The temper ol the mountaineers is said to indicate an immediate reopening of the Callahan-Denton feud. We recover umbrellas and parasols of all shades and sizes. F. G MERTINS, Augusta, Ga. Letter from Mr. Bellinger. Montgomery, Ala., May 9, 1912. Editor The Bamberg Herald?Dear Friend: Since leaving home I have been so constantly on the go that I have had no quiet time for writing. As most of the route from Bamberg to Macon I have traversed so often as to be quite familiar and shall only speak of Macon and other points of interest on my trip over here. Macon, the great central city of Georgia, surely did great credit to herself in entertaining the great crowds of the old veterans and visitors that claimed her generous hospitality and was displayed with such fullness as to measure up to our fullest expectations It is needless to say that the old soldiers were well cared for, food and shelter were quite ample. Furnished with a commissary ticket I had the opportunity of taking several meals where the veterans were fed in great numbers with breakfast, dinner and supper. It was a sight to see more than a thousand all marching in at one time and ouietly and orderly seated at the long tables well furnished with a substantial fare, such as ham and nor ore nnfpAo ate and with a fare , ? well reminder of good cheer each plate was furnished with a nice orange. It was the kindness and thought that gave double value tc each gift and attention. . It would be incomplete not to mention the "boy scouts," for theirs was a noble part and it filled the hearts of all of the old soldiers with joy and gladness. As soon as we landed we were met by some of this noble band of young heroes. It was their kind maners that readily impressed you for with a cheerful salutation thej received you and after being registered they stayed with you and conducted you to wherever you were assigned, and they did it with such p genuine gust of delight. I, in company with my old friend, Mr. Calvir Rentz, first wTent to quarters at the great camp ground, Camp J. B. Gordon. But the weather was very threat ening, so we concluded that we would move up into a more central part ol the city and we found comfortable quarters at the Y. M. C. A., a nev large establishment, just completed . with all conveniences and comforts Here in a large hall one hundred . nice, clean cots were provided, and here our comrades found a most 4e sirable place of rest and refreshmenl at reasonable rates. And all was quite orderly anc . quiet, and nothing was allowed thai , would disturb sleep or rest; and this was the headquarters for many o: our chief officers with whom we free ly mingled and held pleasant inter . course an'd conversation. [ It would have done you good t< , have seen my old comrade, Mr. Cal vin Rentz, how he enjoyed it and hi: tongue gave full utterance to hi: feelings. For it was here at Macoi that our old friend was mustered int< ; service, in a Georgia regiment moi< than fifty years ago, and here he ii again to meet his old comrades o: i his young and strong days. We spec.1 ? a few days together in Macon, anc then traveled together as far a* i Americus. Here we parted, leaving him with his old friends, who so re , luctantly gave him up more thai ' fifty years ago when he enlisted ii the Confederate service; and afte' . the war, as we all know, has mad( his home in and near Bamberg i whose hospitable home is ever oper ' to his numerous friends. After leaving Americus, and ii fact west of Macon, we passet through a very desirable farmin* country, not only cotton, corn anc oats, the staple products of this sec tion, but are extensively engaged ii the peach business, more so than an] other part of the State or the world l as far as I know, for they have or . chards embracing hundreds of acres i I was speaking to a gentleman on th< 1 car just in from west of the Missis sippi and he said that the crops her* i were more advanced than any he hat i seen, and it only confirmed my opin > pinion that they were decidedly th< ) best I had seen since I left home. I am with a host of relatives her< 5 and enjoying myself, but only for i brief time, when I hope to be bacl > at home with my dear old friends The only thing to mar my visit ii I that my cousin, Mrs. Holt, with whon r I am staying, is at this time critically ill and off in a hospital in Atlanta. My stay here will be limited, and ! will be on my way back via Macon the way I came. Yours very sin cerely, L. N. BELLINGER. P. S. Kind remembrances to eacl and all. Hawkins Case Postponed.

Columbia, May 9.?Comptroller , General Jones to-day gave out corre- ! spondence between himself, the gov- ] ernor and C. W. Creighton, the gov- . ernor's special detective, of Greenwood, in which it was made known ' that the comptroller refused to honor , a monthly expense account from ? Creighton, on the ground that the i account was not itemized. Creighton sent the account to Jones, simply calling for the ex- 1 penses for the month. Jones wrote ] Creighton, and said it must be itemized. The eovernor then wrote the ' comptroller and gave his reasons for ! not having the officer's account item ized and asking that the bill be hon! ored. The governor threatens to take . the matter into the courts, stating . ; he will look into the law, when he returns from Spartanburg, where i he has gone for several days. Creigh(i ton has been inspecting law violai tions. A Novel Trap. | A short time ago a hunter found in a patch of woods in Connecticut ^ eleven large blacksnakes tied up in ( hard knots and stone dead. Two telegraph wires ran through the woods overhead, and a few days before there had been a heavy blast set off in a quarry near by. This ^ broke down the wires and started a colony of blacksnakes from their I slumbers in a neighboring ledge. One ^ of the wires was crossed in a distant; city by a trolley wire, and hence the (broken wires which lay near the snakes' den made a death trap. When the snakes came to the wires trailing on the ground one after another crossed them, touching the ends of 1 both wires at the same time. They thus "short circuited" them and re1 ceived a shock which caused death. ' Immediately upon being shocked each snake curled up in a hard knot, thus opening the circuit and setting ' the trap again. E Dangerous Riding. i With the coming of spring, it is r said, those who own motor cars in < , I a certain section of Massachusetts op. erate them with considerably less 1 speed, not, however, always because I of the county ordinances or out of - consideration for their fellow citit zens' safety. One one occasion two motorists 1 were crawling up a highway where t lately a friend (then riding with one 5 of them) knew they had formerly f gone at top speed. The friend asked - why the car was run so slowly. "Why," exclaimed the driver of the nri+'h norfont rmiuote "cco-nx ) body'^ carrying home garden tools - now, and you can't run over a man 3 without risking a puncture."?Lip3 pincott's. i ' i j Bankrupts Petition for Discharge. a In the District Court of the United States, for the District of S.
