Review.
Crisis in Russia
The political situation in Russia
is every day growing m o serious.
The working class to an ■ .'.orraone
extent has joined the striants in
their revolutionary mov nil the
Russian police are maki ■ thous
ands of arrests, while th- military
is daily having encounter < with the
refractory populace. In these
scrimmages there are always some
yasualities but the exact number
'is kept secret. Plots against the
czar's life are constantly being dis
covered and it is said he is very
much worried over his prospect of
remaining among the living The
latest plot discovered is that in
which the son of a famous general
was to have made away with his
ruler. Much trouble and blood
shed is expected before the political
atmosphere resumes its normal
temperature.

Good coal has been found ..
Cassia county, and the vein • is be
ing opened. It is owned In' United
States Marshal Ramsey and others,
and is located near Oakley. The
vein is from 4 to fi feet in' width.
The coal seems to be first-class,
burning readily and giving forth
good heat.
