THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : J3UNDAt , MAY 5. 1889-SIXTEEN PAGES. 13 Displayed by sidewalk clothiers in their efforts to hoodwink the public is Almost daily you arc confronted with blazen banners announcing a sale of clothing at half regular price. Others state they are to retire from the cares of business and generously offer to bequeath their stock to the public at fifty cents on the dollar. Others finding their business has taken wings and flown , try in vain to call it back by scant music , but these stereotype "Mark Down" and other worthless attractions , have always proven a failure in the end. It is no use. The public tell us they "have been there before. " We'find there is but one way to secure and mantain custom ; and that is , to act honestly , justly and uprightly toward the public , by selling them only such goods as will give them perfect satisfaction , and at honest prices ; and under all circumstances to advertise nothing but facts This is the platform on which we first started , and to which we have atall times adhered. Hence our phenominal success. Fakers of trashy clothing , as well as agents of high cost clothing , have had their day and trade is fast coming to the house which does business on the legitimate , where the rich and poor , judge or no judge , can both come and buy their clothes , furnishings , or head gear , knowing that they are not only good and reliable , but are sold at one and always the lo\y- . est prices. We take this occasion to invite all , after having looked through the odds and ends of Mark Down , Shoddy & Co. , to visit our store Southwest corner 15th and Douglas st. and look through our suits for men and youths for $10.00. Every garment is of this season's make , which we sell at prices far below all competitors. P. S. You will find bargains in all our departments and our goods' new and fresh , and of the latest designs and patterns. : OUR MOTTO , Money cheerfully refunded if goods do not suit , BROWNING , KING & CO. ; Largest Manufacturers andletailers of Clothing in the World.

Petty Ofllclnls Who May Override all Forms of liaw Education for Russian Women Current Events in St. PetcniuurK. Kcourgcd to Desperation. ST. P.GTKiisnuua , April 2. [ Special Correspondence of THIS BKK. ] Nothing whatever Is known in Petersburg about the reported attack on the czar , and if such an attack did take place it is known , only to H. M. and the English corre spondent who made it public. It is true that , It is worth the living , if not the liberty of un ollleial to speak , or for an editor to write about such incidents of Russian court life , but still , if the story were true there would have boon aleak- age of particulars somewhere , which is not the case. On the ether hand , had buuh an attack followed the Borkl miracle not a member of the liberal pnrtv in either Petersburg or Moscow wou Id have been in the least surprised at the news. It may bo set down as a dead certainty that before many months uro out pot otio , but a whole series of attacks will bo inado against the c/.ar. Bis days of grace arc well nigh passed , and people are waiting anxiously for some manifestation of that spirit of re form , of which so much was said on his accession. The scourging with scorpions how ever , goes on vigorously. Tolstoi's in famous project of instituting a number of Bo-callcd "crown prefects of dis tricts , " is on the eve of being accepted by the czar. * Those prefects , who will bo nctty dictators in the districts under their control , and who are to have nb- holitto power oVer the police and magis trates , may bo looked upon as BO ninny workmen sent out from Gatschimv to demolish the ridiculously small cdillco of liberty which it has taken the Rus- Hiuu people centuriesjto build up. An other part of their worlc will bo to thoroughly disgust the people and to destroy what remnants of affection and loyalty to the czar remain. They may bo regarded as the sappers of A NKW AllMY OK NIIUUSTfi. Discontent is general , and for the fol lowing reasons , beyond the reactionary homo policy of the czar : I. Tlio incertitude occasioned by the . elaborate preparations for war. : J. The uncertain and wavering for eign policy of the government. II. Tlio favor at the court of M. do Oliirs , whose German origin and well. known vaxaalugo to nismarck render him the most unpopular man in the em pire outside the walls of Gntschina. 4. The deplorable state of the Russian fortrosbos , which , according to General Radotski , in spite of the enormous sums spent upon thorn , nro totally inadequate for modern requirements. 0. Tlio recent statement of General Tcherevino in the presence of the czar that the Russian army rillo is in every way inferior to the weapons of the ether Knronoan armies. 0. The Increasing persecution of the RasUolm und other dissenters. 7. The many recent gross violations of the common law , as in iho case of the illegal application of the death penalty. feollls in consideration of this general cay ng of discontent that it is safe to U that before long Russia will be tuq * ' tcoao of outrages to which voa Iba most sanguinary oxploitsof the nihilists ' will have been but child's play. The vigorous campaign instituted by the ' minister procurator of tlio holy 'synod ( minister of religion ) Poviedonost/eff , against the dissenters aud carried out bj means of agents whoso duty it Is to work upon the superstitions of the peas ants , is already beginning to bear fruit of sweet savor to the bigots of the court. In the village of Rebedelawka , the peasants have attacked a number of bchtundisti dissenters who refused to allow a child to bo baptised. Tlio schtundisti wore severely beaten and exposed , tied hand foot , in a market place. The persons who took part in the outrage have just been sentenced to various heavy terms of im prisonment. It is understood , however , that by order of the Produrator , the to n ton co will bo remitted. Apropos of the recent decision of the government to re-open the IIIUH SCHOOLS FOK WOMEN , it may bo remarked that these were originally founded by private initiative chiolly with a view to the formation of women doctors , in the decade of 1870- 1880. After the death of Alexander II. the government closed all these schools except the ono at Petersburg. Tlio rea son of this was that the professors , be ing maintained by private subscriptions were entirely independent of the gov ernment. Tliroo years ago the Peters burg school was also closed , on the pre text of remodelling the scholastic pro gramme. Recently , however , thanks to the increasing efforts of the Society for the Protection of Female Instruc tion , the minister determined to allow the Petersburg school to bo re-opened under certain restrictive conditions. Since this decision has been made a largo number of subscriptions have been sent in towards the expenses of the school. Curiously enough many of tlio sums ( includingono of 50.000 roubles Irom General Schaniawski ) figure on the list us in commemoration of the Barki miracle. At the same time Mos cow , Odessa. Kazan , Kiel ? and Kiirkoft are all petitioning to bo allowed to reopen their school for women. This is Swing's great ofTonsc to the govern ment , who see in it an antagonistic spirit. The empress has boon earning great popularity Jn the army by the following generous act : On Monday morning last every soldier in the guards in Peters burg received a handsome brier-wood pipe , silver mounted and engraved with the czarina's initials , as a present from her majesty. Nor wore tlio soldier's wives forgotten , and each received an elegant kerchief , or coilTure , such as Russian women wear , in the imperial colors. These acts of pure kindness on the part of the royal lady are , of course , being sneered at by the radicals , who say , "No constitution , but a pipe for Michael , or a kerchief for Miohaola. " A llugrant violation of the common law which restricts the infliction of the death penalty to political offences has taken place at Medwicditza ( Don. ) , where Convicts Mordnnlno and Oou- zinko have been hanged. Tliolr crime was the murder of the prison governor , and no doubt the punishment was mer ited , if it had boon legal. The attitude of the two men on the scaffold was calm and dignified. Mordanine , before dying , addressed the assembled convicts , and insisted on the illegality of his punish ment , while admitting that ho deserved death. Ho ended with an appeal to the Cossacks to remember their rights. This affair has produced a great impres sion in the country. Miss Sosledoma has made herself quite a reputation among the good pee pie of Simybaropol , whore she is known by the soubriquet of "DAUQUTKU OV TUB ! PRISON. " Thli youug lady , who la only twenty- two years of ago , and remarkably beau tiful , has passed more than sixteen years of her life in jail. Her debut in the world -was in prison. Her parents were both habitual criminals , her father being a notorious horsothiof. During her brief visits to the outer world Miss Sosiodoma exercised the profession of cook , but invariably returned to jail on sentences for assault on her employers. She has a most irascible temper. Her ivst term in prison was u punishment 'or having expressed In open court her pinion that the Tolta magistrates were 'all pigs , ' ' She had just been sentenced , o exile in Siberia , and on hearing this lentonce pronounced she thanked the udgos kindly and said , "I am so sick of being in prison that if you had sent mo back there I should have thrashed every man of you. " HIS IDEA OF JUSTICE. On Tuesday morning last two cabt entered the courtyard of the pilace os the minister of finance and drove up to , the entrance of hiaexcellency's private apartments. One of these caos was "acloti with trunks , portmanteaux , books und articles of private property ; the ether contained un old gentleman dressed in the uniform of an official of the treasury , who sprang out and made for the entrance. The porter , barring the way , asked him his business. "I have como , " ho said , "to see the minis ter , John Aloxcsicjitsch , und I have come to stay. Bo kind enough to look , after my luggage whilst I take charge of-the pillowcases niul bedding. " The porter , stuiiolicd by this strange an swer , asked the old gontlomann to wait ; and rushed off to toll ono of the ushers of his arrival and request. Meanwhile the old gentleman , followed by the cab man carrying his luggage , mudo his way into the antechamber , and , tiaving arranged his bedding on ono of the vel vet benches , was about to take oil his coat , when the olllciul came on tiio scene. "What are you doing , and what do you want ? " lie asks. ' 'I am making myself nt homo , " an swers the old gentleman in a calm voice , as ho begins to unlace his boots. " 1 have como to BOO the minister. I am an olllciul in the N. department of the ministry of finance. " "Did His Excellency send for you ? " "Oh , not Only ho turned mo out of my post before 1 have boon 'tried and convicted on a charge that is being brought against mo , and so I have made up my mind to stay with His Excellency whilst the prosecution is being got up. I cannot sleep in the street , and an His Excellency has turned mo out of doors , it is , you will admit , clearly his duty , to provide mo with a homo until I am found guilty of the alienee for which he has made mo homeless. " "Then , I suppose , you are personally known to the minister11" ! "No , I have not that honor. And now , please show mo to u private room and carry up my property. " The usher noi knowing what to do , goes and tolls his oxcollonoy'ssecretary , to whom the old gentleman calmly re peats his story und his request to bo shown to a comfortable room und to have somebody curry up his property. The secretary asks him if ho is out of his mind. . The olu gentleman does not think so , and seems to think his logic unattuckubio. As no ronboning will convince him the police is tout for and ho is ignnminiously thrown into the street with his property , Jtis not quite clear whether the rnuu was really in earnest or hud hit on this curious device - vice for the purpose of bringing his grievances directly under the minister's notice. The laugh of St. Petersburg is , however , entirely on his sido. Another set of colnors was at the om\ \ of last week discovered amongst the prisoners in Meletopolojcul in Crimea , - - . I The governor of this prison had been for some time past convinced that coin ing was being curried on , but hud never been able to place the otVondors until one night a peculiarly pungent odor rising above the usual smell of cheap tobacco fumes put him on the scent. He discovered that the convicts molted the lead for 10 cent pieces in little cups over charcoal tires which they lighted on the floor of their cells , dissimulating their operations behind their clothes. ' The casting of'the coins was carried out in bed under the bed clothes. Three 16 cent pieces , it transpired , were con sidered an excellent night's work by , each of the coiners. In a petition which has just been ad dressed to the czar by the Russian Evangelical union , II. M. is prayed to put a stop to the unceasing religious persecutions which are being carried out in the empire at the instigation of the procurators of the holy synod. The petitioners amongst the number of wliorn are included such eminent Evan gelical pastors as ] ? . Borrogo , G. Code , E. Neville and others insist on relig ious liberty for all , while pointing out that those who diilor only slightly in creed from that of the established Orthodox church are just as badly treated as the Roman Catholics and the Lutheran Protestants. It is remarked hero that Messrs. . Godo , Neville and fellow petitioners might just as well have chalked their reclamations on the solos of their boots. Mr. G. MirazoiT , of TiflSs , is sending to the Paris exhibition BAMl'UiS OF TEA grown in his plantations in the neigh borhood of his town which are de scribed as equal in n utility to the finest Chinese growths.

The Omaha boat club has bcon reorgan ized , and takes a now louse of life under promising auspices. Four years ago it started out with a hurrah , and built a fine boat house at Cut Off lako. Unfortunately , however , tbo weeds In the lake made it Im possible to do Rood rowing and the enthu siasm of the members failed. A few of the zealous levers of the sport , however , deter mined to keep the organization alive and re moved the club house- and headquarters to Lake Manawa , on tlio Iowa sido. They now have the club house handsomely lilted up , and have about $1,500 worth of hoats. The dam that w.is nullt at Mnn- awn raises the water several Inches and makes the rowing course mi exception ally flno ono. With the establishment of the club in its now quarters , the old members nro coming hack and the outlook for a season of line sport is especially promising. It is too lute , now , for the club to think of sending n representation to the Spirit Luke regatta in June ; hut the members will have a number of local contests at Manawa and will lit themselves for club work next sea son.
