FpRMER SENATOR FROM KANSAS DCNIE8 HE SEEKS REVENGE. WOULDN'T HURT OTHER8 Says He Will Publish Newspaper in Which History of His Case WW Appear Serial. fronton, Mo. -- Joseph Ralph Bur­ ton, who until his conviction in the federal court, was United States senator from Kansas, was Friday morning released from the county jail here, having completed his sentence of six months, imposed when he was found jniilty of violating a federal stat­ ute by a>jjearing before a government­ al department~-a^the paid representa­ tive of an allegea^get-rich-quick" con­ cern of St Louis. Burtdfi entered the jail at Ironton, October 22, 1906. His release is due to the law which provides for a deduc­ tion from a sentence for good be­ havior. Burton's sententee also includ­ ed a fine of $2,500, and the statute un­ der which he was convicted debars him from ever holding an office of trust or remuneration under the fed­ eral government. The fine, which has nofbeen paid, will be held over him as a civil judgment Upon leaving the jail Burton gave out the following signed statement: "This is the first signed statement I have made for publication since the day I was indicted. The impression has gone out that I propose to live for revenge. This is a mistake. I have no such purpose. The wrongs done to me are the wrongs of others. Ven­ geance is thought to be noble only by the ignoble. 'Vengeance is mine, say- eth the Lord,' is the philosophy to which I have always subscribed in the past, and to which I shall adhere in the future. "I am a thousand times more solici­ tous that I shall not wrong another than I am concerned about the wrongs others have done or may do to me. In saying this, however, I do not pretend to have more than two cheeks. Nor do 1 think that it is wrong to rebuke hypocrisy. "I shall have charge of a newspaper unless there is a fraud order issued against it before I can arrange for its publication. It will reflect my ideas. It is to be one of the agencies in the work I hope to* do. I shall talk when I am not writing and shall write when I am not talking. The history of my case, already prepared, will appear in serial form, first in the paper. The story will not be sensational. It will be truthful. Interwoven with the his­ tory, and a necessary part of it, will be a discussion of certain conditions in our TCgislative, administrative and judicial government that, I think, have escaped the attention of the average citizen. .

From the estimates of the damages, made Friday night, it appear that 400 farms in Moldavia have been devastated, 8,000 fugitives have fled over the Roumanian frontier into Aus­ tria, and a total of 10,000 Jews are homeless. The number of dead and wounded cannot be given accurately, but the reports give a total of about 85 men killed, and in the neighborhood of ISO wounded. The outbreak seems to have been partly suppressed. On Thursday 500 peasants tried to invade Michailenl. Some of the sol* diers fired, against orders. This vol; ley killed 15 of the rioters and wound­ ed 45, whereupon the peasants with­ drew. A more successful attack was made at Vaslui, to the smith of Jassy. Here a body of 2,000 peasants forced their way into the town. The prefect of Vaslui did not have sufficient troops at his command to stop the onward march of the infuriated countrymen. He stood by a helpless witness while the rioters, in an incredibly short space of time, plundered practically all the buildings on the three princi­ pal streets of Vaslui and then set them on fire. The peasants had loot­ ed freely, and the fire completed the work of destruction. The prefect sent in a hurried ap­ peal for reinforcements and the peas­ ants, in ignorance of this step, re­ mained in the town until the soldiers arrived. There then ensued a serious fight up and down the burned streets. The soldiers came out victorious,Jbut 20 rioters were killed and mahy were wounded. All the buildings in the villages of Halancestl, Herlesti, Holcisteni and Ninelusen were demolished and the villages are now nothing more than heaps of ruins. The most serious fight of Friday oc­ curred near Piatra, 60 miles south­ west of Jassy. Several thousand peasants marched against this town, where an entire regiment of infantry was stationed. The soldiers charged the peasants with fixed bayonets. The peasants replied with rifle and re­ volver fire, and then the troops began shooting back. The fighting lasted over an hour before the rioters re­ treated. They had 42 men killed, 67 wounded and 250 of their number were carried off prisoners by the sol­ diers. The troops had eight men killed and 27 wounded. •ipsasfc " W" PY.WVfiU) ftjLfc HONDURAS IS ^DEFEATED NICARAGUANS TAKE CHOLUTECA AND BONILLA FLEES.

TWO YEAftS IN BED Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Stub­ born Rheumatism When Other Treatment Gave No Relief. - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have l»e«i curing the most stubborn cases of rheumatism for nearly a generation and thousands of grateful patients have given testimony that cannot be ignored. Mr. Robert 0< bert, a machinist, liv­ ing at 201 Cameron Street, Detroit, Mich., had a very distressing experi­ ence with rheumatism for about two years. He makes the following state­ ment: "About the year 1S87 I felt the effects of rheumatism which gradually grew worse until I was compelled to give up work for a time. The years of '97 and '98 I was confined to my bed most of tho time. I was under doctors' treatment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hips down­ ward and red blotches appeared all over tbem. Frequently they pained me 6o that I had to bind them tightly with strips of Iluen. This sometimes relieved the pain but at other times failed to do so. At times I had to crawl to my work, using two crutches. During these spells I suffered greatly from pain around my heart which I at­ tributed to the rheumatism. "At last my mother wrote me and asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did and in a short time I found myself getting better and have iad no trouble since. I may here add that I consider myself perfectly cured. I have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better now tiion I ever did. For theee reasons I- recommend Dr. Williams* Pink Pills to any one affected the same as I was."
