The following eirrsots are taken from tha '• Frankfurter Zeittmg" ojE April Ist: The letter was written by a German - oaf of a band ot 1 COO male and female students that had assembled on the Novpky Prospekt : " The oriee grew louder- Suddenly came phoats, 'To tha Cathedral!' •To Service !' ' Let us hold a memorial service for Alexander 11. I' The pressure of the crowd towards th« church carried me there. Service vai' proceeding, and the church was fall. On we came with a wild rush ; then suddenly fche front p^rt of. th« crowd -s|opptfli at thoogh somehow hindered ; bub those behind kept pressing forward ; ori«i arose, and the rush continued till wa all fumbled pell-mell into church. Once or twicelcanght sight of a red flag frith some inscription demanding the revoca tion of the law again*tg Btadente, Wor shippers, frightened by our excited lookc, and phones fur a memori&l service, and no less by the entrance of the police and gensdarmea, became panic/striken and rus! ci to the doors. The result was a block and a cpush, the eaered building Bobu re'aoandlng;'wi*h the "cries of people being trampled trader foot, A bitter struggle bi-gan between students and polica ; candleaticka wore overthrown and the holy pictures damaged, amidst the horrible cries of wounded and trodden men. The crowd carried me right to the door opposite the large picture of tbe Holy Child. A woman sank ab my feet, wailing ont, •My Child ! my child ! they have trampled over ray child I 1 Overcome, I tried to get away from a spot; Btained with innocent blood, but others were trying to do the same. Great crowds were pressing for entrance at the same moment. At last I sob into the freeh air; bub was I ary better ofi! A hand to hand fight was going on, on the church steps. Two regiments of Cossacks were there, slashing at th* crowd with their short whips. Luckily I was borne right ont into the street, where at all points crowds of police were to be seen. The balconies and windows of the houses were full of petip'e. To the horror of these spectators, the crowd mounted the railings, From there we could see the approach of 2 OOO.to 10.C00 workmen, and also the arrival of the War Minister, • '#hose shorty useless speech was jeered at. The Cossacks kept everybody on the move. Struggles were visible at ail points the crowd seemed nothing but a fighting mass of shouting; * struggling soldiene, police, students, and general public. SuddanJy a student- is seized ;he vainly tries to wrench himself free; stodenuj rush to help, and then the Coseacks rush i». 'A shoe V In the hands of a young Oossack officer I see a still emoklng TeJ volveri With other stndenta I rushed forward, but the efficer is torn from his horse. Help goes to him, and soldiers and students are mixed up inextricably in I a confused combat. Suddenly a blows fa'la on my head ; I stagger, Jbut em held up-and carried away by the crowd, catch« Ing Bight as i disappear of a blood stained face of. ap'>Hoemau i According to this student, 72 medical, '60 mining, and II elec'ricai etadeuta ! were arrested.

' A. NKW BACK F©E AN OLD ONE—HOW It IS DONB IN ASHBXTBTON. The "Backs question" la one thafe interests everybody old and yoong. Few indeed are they whose back has sever had an ache or pain. " Old hacks', and "newbacks" are more than often *b*d backs'. Sometimes they ache with that dull burdensome feeling which makes you weary and listless, then they havd pains shooting across the region of the kidneys. Then again the back is lame, offdmes so lame that to stoop is agony. No use plastering or rubbing a back in this condition. You can't reach the cause. It comes from the kidneys. If you would chaflge the bad back far a new and stronger ono follow the example of the Ashburton citizen who tells you how in the following words s— Some months ago I had a very severe backache- In fact I was always more or less subject to this ailment, only as the dme I speak of it was worse than usual. It was a nasty constant 'agony. I saw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised and I obtained a supply at £he Ashburton Drug Store which I started to use. In a little while a rash began to break oob about my ehou'ders and caused me a good deal of unpleasantness, bub after that I began to feol very well, and I noticed the backache was gone. There Is no doubt; this rash was caused by the pills forcing the impurities out through the pores of the skin. I am glad to recommend bo valuable a medicine.' • Tbis is what Mrs Pickford of Tancrrd StreSb., of this town, says; what proof could be or better %



Boan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s pec box (six boxes 16s 6d) or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster-McOlellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, M S W. But be sure ihei abb doak's
