ARE IIOHURPRISEO Richmond Victims ( of Ubero Fraud Hear of the Plantation Burning. SCHEME OF EX-MINISTER Those Richmond citizens who were interested financially in the celebrated Ubero Plantation scheme of one William Owens, at one time a member of congress and now a fugitive from justice, were not very greatly surprised to learn the 'plantation has been devastated by fire. The Ubero scheme ivas one of the greatest swindles ever perpetrated in Indiana. Owens was at. the head of the proposition and is, believed to have manipulated it. At one time he was a minister of the Christian church. , Hundreds of Indiana cititens were Induced to invest In whn.t was represented as a valuable rubber ' reservation in Central America. . They poured in the dollars expecting big returns. It was represented to them that the plantation was well stocked with rubber trees p.nd that cash returns would be pouring in rapidly. It developed afterward that the entire thing was a huge swindle. The report of the fire says practically everything was burned up but the land. It is likely if Owens had had the land insured, it would have burned, also. Doctor's Prescriptions. It has been proved over and over again that the doctors of this country freely prescribe proprietary' medicines in Latin for their patients until they are advertised to the ' public, after which time they consider it a duty to immediately condemn the very same medicine,., not because the preparation is any less valuable, but because it Is not 'ethical' to prescribe an advertised medicine. J There are however many physicians of recognized standing broadminded and successful enough to continue to prescribe such standard remedies as Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which they know to be good. Fifteenth Century Artists. - Artists in Italy In the fifteenth century were little better off than small shopkeepers. This is shown by the dowries, they uscaMy gave their daughters, which varied from $1,040 to $3.080, and it la related as an extraordinary instance that Andrea Manegna gave his daughter $2.G0O at the. time of her marrtage. which was about the close of the fifteenth century. Michelangelo. Raphael and Titian were the only painters of the fifteenth century who succeeded in attaining a position of ease. Michelangelo at his death left about $48,000. besides some real estate, to bis nephew, Leonardo. Raphael's property was estimated to be worth 8135.000. while Dnrer was worth at the time of his death only $31,650. In those days, however, pensions were frequently given to artists Jty sovereigns and cities. Scrip. . . . SPECIALS FOR THE FOURTH.

GUARDS KILLED

A DESPERATE FIGHT BY "BIGHT Russian Political Prisoners in Siberia After Bloody Struggle, Escape Into the Barren Wilds. PURSUERS REPULSED IN TWO FIERCE FIGHTS Plan of the Fugitives Is to Make Their Way Across Wilderness, 2,000 Miles, And Enter Alaska. Vladimir, Northern Siberia, June 30 Overpowering and slaying twenty of their guards in a bloody hand-to-band conflict, more than, 100 political prisoners broke from a prison in Yakutsk, the Lena river district, yesterday and started on their flight for East Caps, 2,000 miles away, across the most desolate wilderness on the earth's face. The desperate band , was overtaken by a troop of Cossacks in an almost impassable swamp fifty miles east of Yakutsk, and, luring their pursuers into an ambush, killed ten of the troopers and put the rest .to flight. The fugitives were again surrounded later in the day and in a hot fight repulsed the Cossacks, shooting several of them down. It is the plan of the escaped prisoners to make East Cape in their mad dash for freedom and from, there seek sanctuary on American soil, in Alaska,' thirty-six miles across Bering strait. At " the best they will have nothing more than the frailest of r boats to attempt the passage of the stormy water. Like Page of Fiction. Jwver in the : annals of a barren land, blotted by deeds of blood and cruelty, has a more desperate fight for liberty been made than that of the prisoners who broke from the Yakutsk prison. Cut off from flight to the west, where garrison after: garrison of the Czar's troops would , have to be eluded, they chose flight across an almost impassible wilderness, in many places I never trod by white men for hundreds of miles. Morasses have to be crossed, deserts braved and mountains surmounted before the band of fugitives can hope to make the last desperate try, that of paddling the Bering waters in frail boats. Yakutsk is a station Vhere for a year . or ; more no fresh ? transport of convicts has arrived and the desperate dash for freedom was ; carefully planned through the long months of the Siberian winter. : How the prisoners obtained the weapons with which they killed their guard and repulsed the Cossack" attacks hae not been learned. When they fled from the convict station they were also well supplied with food. A Night Attack. The attack on the prison guards was made before midnight. The alarm was given before the prisoners had climbed the last wall and shots scattered about them as .they made their dash. Hemmed in, they turned and fired a volley into the ranks of .the soldiers. Hand to hand they then cut the avenue to escape. A score of the guards are reported as having been slain In the prison confines before the men dashed through the streets of the village and out beyond. Before daylight. Captain Kollnnickoff, acting governor of the Yakutsk district, had sent a troop of Cossacks in pursuit, giving the order of "no quarter." Within twelve hours the fugitive band was .overtaken in ' the swamp. , . 4 Discrediting the strength , of their Quarry, the troopers dashed into the water up to the knees of their horses. From the underbrush the fugitives then poured in the fire that drove, the solders back out of range. ' The second attack followed a few hours later. Other troops , of , Cossacks have been mustered and tonight an overpowering force, will start in pursuit of the desperate band. ; With the mounted men the wilderness is even more impassable and the fugitives may make good their escape. Guards will be sent along the coast and inland from East Cape to cut off their flight. The Prison of Sark. ' Sark. the loveliest of the Channel islands, possesses a quaint old prison of two cells more as a matter of form than of necessity, for serious crime is almost unknown in the island, which has no paid police, but simply an elected constable. It is some years since the prison was called Into requisition, and on the last occasion the bolt was found to be so rusty that ft bad to be broken before the door could be opened. The prisoner was then put in. left all night with the door open and made no attempt to escape. On another occasion a young English servant who had stolen some clothes was sentenced to three days Imprisonment. The prospect so terrified her that the authorities took pity on her loneliness and considerately left the cell open. The little maid sat In the doorway and was consoled by kind hearted ; Sark women, who cam to keep her company. A still more curious Incident is tcld of a man who was convicted for neglecting his wife and children. He was ordered to betake himself to the prison and there wait for the arrival of the constable. This was opened. Strand Magazine. - j

MARSHALL BOOM IS STARTED AT THE LOVE FEAST (Continued From Pago One.) tariff question. The corporation bad asked him to vote for protection for certain articles. , Korbly Roasts Beveridge. His premise was that the congrees and Its action on the tariff question was a reflection on the people. Beveridge, who is being lauded for his stand as an insurgent, was declared to be the worst kind of e protectionist. He said that the senior senator from Indiana had a purpose in view in bis stand on the tariff question. Beveridge, he said, is angling tor re-election. He eald the difference between Senator Beveridge and Senator , Aldrich. the leaders of the two republican factions in the senate is of a negligible quantity: Although Senator Bailey of Texas is being heaped with criticism fcr his stand for protection on certin ?- ticlcs. yet Mr. Korbly believes If Senator Bailey had the writing of a tariff law, ho would satisfy the people. Mr. Korbly is a free trader, but he says It is necessary by means of the tariff to raise some three hundred mil lions of dollars for revenue. He claims that this can be doae by ad valorem and excise . duties on twenty-five - or thirty articles. Following Mr. Bowers example, he likewise spoke of Governor Marshall as the logical cardidate for president. He also criticised the government for its stand in the pros cuticn of the Indianapolis News. Stremboli's Flames. Stroaboll rarely pours, out streams of lava, for this Aeolian crater vomits flame persistently and cinders spasmodically. The "lighthouse of tbo Mediterranean" has been known to stick to its function of tore b bearer for the space of 2.000 years. Whenever the tlay. regular eruption taken place the stones drop back again Into the crater. While the ancients regarded Stromboll variously as the smithy of Vulcan and the headquarters of Aeolus, the men of the middle ages looked upon it as tbo main highway to purgatory. JULY 4tlh
