October

The other day, a gentleman, having made his morning purchases of provisions, wanted to wrap them in an old issue of the newspaper, purposely taken for this purpose.
A peasant peasant, who was at the same time, began to convincingly ask him to give up this number and offered for him … a head of cabbage. It's nice to see how a thirst for knowledge gradually awakens in a peasant, an interest in the events taking place around him, but it's sad that this peasant was forced to acquire this knowledge by chance, snatches for … a head of cabbage.

The Tomsk medical department recently informed the city and county sanitary executive commissions and city doctors of the Tomsk province a circular proposal from the office of the chief medical inspector that the medical council, having familiarized itself with the method of water sterilization by ozonation according to the method proposed by Comte de Vries, according to the journal dated 31 May s. G., spoke in the sense of the desirability of using the indicated method along with others, mainly in small towns and villages that do not have impeccable drinking water. Attached to the messages of the medical department is the aforementioned journal of the medical council, which sets out what the method of the Comte de Vries consists of.

Some of the townsfolk who bought sewing machines in Neidlinger's shop by installments are now in a sad state of affairs. The fact is that one of the store's agents, who was entrusted with collecting monthly payments, when receiving them, noted only the number of receipts in the books available on this subject from buyers, but did not paste the store's stamps that serve as proof of the payment. This agent used the money collected in this way for his own benefit, for which he is now calculated by the store. As a result, gullible buyers who have fallen into a trap are perplexed whether the agent considers it necessary to return the money taken from them, and whether the marks made by him in their books represent a form of any evidence. In our opinion, lost in this case the store, too gullible attitude to the agent.

Recently, an order of the police chief was pasted on poles, forbidding the regulars of fisticuffs to gather in known places for wars; whether Mr. Arkhangelsky will be able to eradicate this harmful custom, which has existed here for more than a hundred years, we do not know; but it is high time to put an end to this rough and wild pastime; all the more so that very often dozens of children from 7 to 15 years of age become victims of the war.One of them gives yourself to feel on Middle Kirpichnaya Street: through the moat along Nazma, the inhabitants barely crawl, but when they go out on the highway, the streets do not feel relief: G.

Often, young people who are subject to classification of military service and do not have benefits are also suggested. In view of this, one cannot but wish G. Arkhangelsk success in the fight against this evil, which has a harmful effect on the customs and habits of ordinary people.

Rodyukov, following the example of last year, began to give hot breakfasts for the poor students of the school every month for 15 rubles, this assistance is especially useful now that the parents of some students are taken to war, and entire families were left without Kormiltsev. 18 people have breakfast daily.

Currently, the menagerie of Eigus is opened in Tomsk in a huge booth specially built for him on the banks of the river. Ushaiki. Compared to the menagerie previously previously in Tomsk, the menagerie Eigus is somewhat richer in the sense of a more complete set of animals and their best quality. Most of the menagerie is allotted to the Porcelain animals: there are four lions, tiger, panther, jaguar, two wolves, brown and white bears, American bears. A prominent place is occupied by the trained elephant, a large lover of French rolls; Then there is a small crocodile, several also small boats, deer, lama, monkeys; The department of birds is represented by an ostrich and a significant number – about ten – parrots of different breeds. There are boxes filled with water with inscriptions on them: “Blessing Salamander” and “Alligators”, but these animals are not shown from the water and the audience does not see them at all. In another branch of the menagerie, in a special arena, performances are given in which trained dogs, an elephant and a crucifix-storyteller are involved. These performances in a certain sense are quite interesting, excluding G. Black Exploring: his repertoire, for the most part, ambiguous and directly vulgar content, which is completely inconvenient, since there is constantly a lot of children among the public. The audience is still visiting the menagerie in whole crowds.

The device of dung bridges through our ditches and leales is cheap, and therefore we have such structures in many places. He looks angrily at this building for every passerby and in the rainy season the autumn is ready to swallow it with its dirty mouth. These structures are cheap and angry.

On September 29, a Bioscope Brown Bioscope was held at the theater at the Free Library. As usual, the session gathered an almost full hall of the public, especially the students of youth. It seems to us that in vain G. Brown shows paintings from the war of Japan with Russia. These paintings with their unnaturalness make the impression of something curious; Yes, it cannot be otherwise: in fact, they cannot, in fact, are 20-30 inexperienced statists to sie Port Arthur, bombard “advanced Japanese posts”, etc. Meanwhile, the demonstration of these ridiculous pictures is spent on a decent time.
By the way, G. Brown captured the famous Tomsk mud on a bio -oscope tape. With his apparatus, he took off the post office stained by the sea of ​​mud, during the transition through it of the townsfolk.

Recently, we reported the appearance of a monstrous size of a snake in the Bogorodsky volost. Currently, having copies in our hands from the reports of the volost rule of the police officer and this last governor, we can somewhat complement this news. According to initial information, this snake had 11 arsh. lengths and 8 verses. the width was met on the hay of the village of Astrakantseva, who barely escaped the danger, jumping on his former horse; The dog’s shepherd’s dog was as if he crossed the tail in half with one blow. The search, made in hot pursuit of the district doctor G. Falcom, who was at that time in the village of Astrakhantseva, did not lead to any results. In the police report, the whole thing seems far from such a terrible form. It turns out that on the island on Ob, near Astrakhantseva, a snake has recently appeared, seen by some of the inhabitants.This snake is up to 7 arshins long and up to 6 versts wide, gray in color, with a large pointed head, swims well and is not dangerous for people. He did not chase the shepherd and did not kill the dogs. The official sent to the scene, not finding the snake, instructed the police guard, if it appeared, to kill it with the help of local peasants. Assuming that the size of the animal is exaggerated by rumor, the police officer classifies the snake as a breed of snakes of large size. It is doubtful, however, that snakes ever reached such a considerable length.

Not particularly flattering reviews are heard from buyers of goods from the free auction. Among the things that suffered from the fire in the Telnykh store, there were also those that, due to their worthlessness or disuse, did not go on sale at all, that is, they made up a store blockage, and it seems that a greater place is reserved for this blockage in the auction sale. In general, everything worthless is sold without any obstacles on the part of auctioneers, and what is more valuable requires a larger number of bargainers, and with two or three buyers, a decent thing is not sold. It does not do without such tricks: three garus children's shirts are sold, of which two have only one sleeve intact, folded into a ball so that one shirt is visible – for a better sample. The lucky one who bought these things, with the laughter of the people hustling in the shop, had to get out of the auction as soon as possible and curse fate for the money he had spent on nothing.

At a time when the best people try to update our school, opening its doors to more rational teaching methods and in general all useful innovations, Kuteikins and Tsifirkin – and they are still alive – with the perseverance inherent in this variety, continue to set lessons at home, not giving themselves to themselves It’s even difficult to develop the content of the set during class classes. “Learn”, “Transfigure and Doslev” – these are the favorite methodological principles that quite characterize the pedagogical talent of these strands of children's thought. “Write me at home in notebooks ten mental objects and ten abstracts,” Kuteikin sets first-class kids who visit the school for only 3-4 days. And there is no need for him that the children are not explained in the lesson even signs by which they could distinguish the concepts of “mental” and “abstract” – there is no need, that novice babies still do not sufficiently understand the concept of an object in general and dividing objects into animated and inanimate . “The books will be bought … to learn …”, – flickers in the head of the teacher. And as a result, tears, torment, powerless tension of childhood thought and aversion to “study”.

On October 5th, the Committee for Assistance to the Family, called up for war, Kufarev, came to the treasury Vinnaya shop No. 7 on the corner of the Akimovskaya st. And the plow, in order to make a seizure of donations from the mug of the lady committee in the shop. There were more than 9 rubles in the circle, and all with pennies. Kufarev turned to the sidelitsa of the shop, Ms. Leonovich, with a request to exchange pennies for larger banknotes, and had in mind that pennies are always needed in the shop to give delivery to customers, and that in other wine shops such an exchange is always made willingly. Ms. Leonovich refused to exchange pennies, saying that she did not want to “get hands about them”, and that her husband from the branch of the State Bank, where he serves, “brand new pennies” brings her to surrender to her.
Indeed, pennies go on different hands and, of course, are polluted, but in the same position there are other banknotes – rubles, five -rubles, etc.

“Protect your pockets”-the walls of the postal and telegraph office are decorated with such posters; Such an announcement was caused by quite frequent pocket thefts from the visitors to the office. After the announcement of pocket thefts in the mail, it was not heard; Obviously, visitors cherished their pockets, and pickpockets temporarily stopped their activities. But the ads were hanged for a long time, and obviously forgot about them, and the pickpockets began to work again.So, on October 6, they stole 70 rubles from a peasant woman Anisya Sintsova. and student-technologist Vladimir Shimanovsky has 25 rubles.

The dirt that covered our unsettled streets has been shackled in recent days by the onset of cold. A sad picture emerged. Mounds and mounds of frozen mud, pits and ruts dug up the canvas of the streets in all directions with the most bizarre patterns. Riding on wheeled carriages turned into a murderous shake-up of the townsfolk. Carts and carriages are tossed from side to side, at the same time tossing up and down over bumps and pits. The bones of the townsfolk, voters and favorite elected people of the fathers of the city are shaking. Every push, every bump and pit is a cruel reminder of the improvement of the streets of our city…
We would like to believe that even before the onset of the 20th century, we will develop a plan for at least paving our streets, along which almost all communication now periodically ceases … It is high time, at least for the city, that we delete from our municipal lexicon the shameful word thaw .
Let us wish our municipal councilors and our municipal commission for the improvement of the city for the coming winter at least a little move towards resolving the unfortunate issue of our improvement …
On the night of October 9, it began to rain. The weather went from cold to warm. Snow is melting. Just yesterday, the frozen sea of ​​mud with deadly bumps, mounds and pits threatens to bloom again into a liquid, swampy swamp … Crews and people will get stuck in the swamp … God forbid that there are no accidents …

The former entertainments of our street have now been replenished with a performance given by some Tatar, dressed in a rather original costume – thick shoes, trousers with stripes and a wide blouse with yellow stripes. The representation consists in the image of a running train. Having previously tied a bell to his leg, the street performer suddenly begins to spank his shoes on the sidewalk, speeding up or slowing down, puffing and hissing, blowing whistles, throwing out a flag – everything is in accordance with the program of the idea being depicted – and causes noisy, long unceasing applause from admiring spectators.

Yesterday we had to observe such a scene in the diocesan library.
For a long time, a decent gentleman spoke about something with the librarian, after the librarian left for another room, began to turn over the book where the book libraries issued to subscribers are recorded.
“At the crime scene” was found by G. The librarian himself, who, having removed him from the table, attacked him with the words: “How dare you watch books that you can’t watch strangers”, “You, not a person”, “I am you you I will ask you to leave the library ”, etc., etc.
For some reason, who asked to see the “mysterious” book did not say a single word to the “mysterious” book, but, blushing to his ears, stood embarrassedly, not knowing what to do … This scene made an extremely unpleasant impression at the library.

Recently, in Tomsk there has been an unprecedented influx of peasant women, offering their work as a homework. Undoubtedly, such an enhanced proposal of labor is closely dependent on the crop failure of the bread in this year in many places of the Tomsk province. Not so long ago, we noted that among the peasants of lean areas there is increased sale of livestock due to weak collections of herbs. Something in this kind is also noticed in relation to excessive working hands. The poor gathering of bread was reflected in a difficult way on the food issue, and the rural in order to at least alleviate his position, sends to the city to decorate the earnings of extra family members. In particular, the crop failure of this year was difficult in the economic situation of the Novoselov who arrived in Siberia without any means: the benefits they received from the treasury went to acquire equipment and seeds, while the seeds thrown into the ground did not bring the crop. Not so long ago, we watched the migrant in the Tomsk market, who offered his relative in only one bread at home. Not so long ago, we met a woman in one of the Tomsk villages who gave his children relatives to feed, and the very one went to another village to local rich. In the Tomsk bazaar on any trading day you can see many peasant girls and women asking for earnings.With such an intensified proposal of working hands, the price of them, of course, falls strongly.

Plotnikov in the form of a third of prey was, as we heard, 12 thousand.cheese curds, by the way, in one of the tons, anglers caught a young catfish weighing 26 pounds. This rare specimen of the fish was also handed over by the Tatars to Mr. Plotnikov, and the fishermen did not even know that they were dealing with such a rare and valuable fish. This is the only case of catfish being caught; however, fishermen say that this summer in the Ob near Krasny Yar, during a seine season, they saw a significant catfish, but they failed to catch it. It would be interesting to know where catfish got into Siberian rivers, which, according to ancient fishermen, never came across not only in Tom, but even in Siberian rivers in general.

Probably, everyone knows the anecdote about the gypsy, who, when asked what faith he is, cheekily answered: whatever you want. Something similar happened today in our city council. At a meeting of the city council on October 7, in order to resolve the issue of assigning an additional allowance from the city funds to the police, a certificate was given on the state of the city cash desk; according to this certificate, it turned out that Mr. Ermolaev, who was taking the place of the mayor, explained to the Duma that by the end of the year there would be a balance of about 10-15 thousand rubles. Then the issue of the police allowance was put to the ballot and by a majority of 14 against 9 the police allowance was put forward. On October 11, the same council gave the Duma another certificate, according to which the remainder is no longer foreseen, and a deficit of about 34 thousand rubles is expected.

Probably, everyone knows the anecdote about the gypsy, who, when asked what faith he is, cheekily answered: whatever you want. Something similar happened today in our city council. At a meeting of the city council on October 7, in order to resolve the issue of assigning an additional allowance from the city funds to the police, a certificate was given on the state of the city cash desk; according to this certificate, it turned out that Mr. Ermolaev, who was taking the place of the mayor, explained to the Duma that by the end of the year there would be a balance of about 10-15 thousand rubles. Then the issue of the police allowance was put to the ballot and by a majority of 14 against 9 the police allowance was put forward. On October 11, the same council gave the Duma another certificate, according to which the remainder is no longer foreseen, and a deficit of about 34 thousand rubles is expected. They say that both references to the books are correct?!

To eradicate measurement and underweight, which have made a firm nest for themselves in our trade, it is necessary, first of all, to introduce correct measures and weights everywhere. To this end, also to provide persons who need it with the opportunity to check their weights and measures without undue hassle and difficulty, periodic circulation is introduced on all railways, including the Siberian railway, of tent cars of the main chamber of measures and weights . On the Siberian Railway, the tent car will follow as part of freight trains, as well as at the discretion of the road, and in other trains. At uncoupling stations, the tent car will be installed, if possible, on tracks accessible to persons delivering weights and measures for alignment.

Last Monday, the typolithography of Mikhailov and Makushin celebrated its 10th anniversary. It was the first private printing house in Tomsk (now there are three private printing houses and one state-owned one). The holiday had a purely domestic character and was arranged exclusively for workers, of whom there are 70 people in the printing house, lithography, bookbinding and line work. It is announced to the workers at this holiday that all employees of the trading house enjoy the following advantage: anyone who, due to illness or other reasons,conditioned by service in a trading house, becomes incapable of work, receives a pension in the amount of 10% of his salary and for the duration of the time he spent in the service in a trading house; in the event of death, a pension under the same conditions is issued to a widow or orphans. The term of service is counted from the time when the employee left the category of boys.
In memory of the 10th anniversary, the workers presented Mikhailov and Makushin with a large sheet, on which, among the decorations and columns made in several colors, the year of foundation of the printing house and the names of all employees are indicated. During the celebration, the entire group of those participating in it was filmed, including Messrs. Mikhailov and Makushin. Unfortunately, this workers' holiday ended in an unexpected misfortune. At the end of dinner, one of the workers suddenly died from excessive drinking of wine, and when the police began to make inquiries about the identity of the deceased, it turned out that he lived in Tomsk on a false passport under the name of Shuvalov. Since the latter served in the trading house for 7 months, his sister will be given 10% of his salary for the same time.

Recently, one of the companies that sell kerosene in Tomsk finally thought of organizing the delivery of kerosene to homes, which has been done in many cities for a long time. Many, of course, will be happy to use the services of the company, because thanks to it, those who need kerosene, especially when buying by the pood, get rid of the unpleasant and inconvenient procedure for transporting kerosene in cans on our roads, but it’s only a pity that the company does not publish exactly where if necessary, apply with a request for the delivery of kerosene.

In the railway station of Tomsk station, a bust of I. S. Turgenev flaunts on the buffet table. Everyone who knows the famous writer from portraits will immediately recognize him in the bust, and with what indignation the heart of another admirer of J.S. will boil when he sees what is the matter.The bust depicting I. S. Turgenev is just a bottle filled with vodka of the Bekman factory. Suppose, a different amateur will give pleasure to drink “from Turgenev”, but still, it seems to us that vodka breeders are already too far in their cunning inventions.

Siberia matchboards complain about uneven trading conditions in Manchuria compared to the Japanese. Although, when transporting the goods, an excise tax is returned across the border, nevertheless you have to pay duties on paraffin and since the Siberians have to pay 75 k pounds for the transport before Port Arthur, and the Japanese retreat is no more expensive than 25 k. In Hamburg, pood pounds for gamburg for gluttoning boxes costs 2 p. 50 K., in Moscow – 4 p. 50 K. and the transport to Irkutsk 1 p. 40 K. And the Japanese pound of paper costs no more than 2 p. 50 K. Obviously, the unsuccessful competing of the Siberians with the Japanese in Manchuria on the basis of trade cannot be reproached with him.

The contents of the Rensky cellar on Spasskaya Street against the circus of Gorlanov have, obviously, a very large and diverse circle of acquaintances. On October 22, late in the evening we watched, for example, such a nice picture. During the intermissions in the circus, the audience was literally raised in the Rensky cellar; Chuyki, and Azyam, and drape coats gathered there,And cotton blouses … Through the glass of an unnoticed window, thanks to the good lighting inside the cellar, it was not difficult to see that those who came up for something leaned over the counter, threw their heads back and, leaving the hospitable host, spoke among themselves: “Here-much cheaper … for a patch-a patch-for a patch In which glass you are dumbfounded; And Gorlanov has a glass – what is your throat ”… We watched this picture, standing near the entrance to the Torovskoye circus and being in the immediate vicinity of the near -storage warders and pom. The bailiff, it seems, G.K. should think that these latter suffer from strong myopia and did not notice anything that happened opposite and said next to them …

On October 24, in the camera of the peace of the magistrate, 5 sections of Tomsk considered mainly civil cases, which have little interest for readers. We note only one small episode that took place in this cell and characterizing the attitude of the maintenance of trading institutions to our police.
One plaintiff – Zoroshvilly and asks the judge to terminate his case in a lawsuit against Kuskovsky.

– You probably received a debt from Kuskovsky, so or what are you stopping the matter? – asks the plaintiff the peace.
– No way! – the plaintiff answers. – I stop because G. Kuskovsky now acted as a cross -out overseer in Tomsk.

– So what is from this? – the judge asks in surprise.

“How what,” the plaintiff in turn, is surprised, “so I contain the“ Rensky cellar ”…
– BUT! So what's the matter, ”the magistrate guessed. – Well, do you have another matter here on the lawsuit against Alekseev, do you stop him too?
– No, I ask you to disassemble this business.
“Why don't you want to stop this business?” – asks the judge.

“But because Alekseev does not serve in the police,” the plaintiff answered calmly.

Every local inhabitant is familiar with the cries that are usually heard in the mornings near houses: “We are repairing samovars, buckets, pouring various things,” etc. The inhabitant gives his spoiled things for repair, but often cannot receive them in their original form.So, the other day one of the local residents of S. gave these locksmiths a samovar for repair, which he still cannot get back, not even knowing the address where his samovar is being repaired. Boys usually collect things from home to fix.
In view of the fact that quite a few handicraftsmen are really engaged in the samovar trade in Tomsk, it would be advisable for these handicraftsmen to have in their pocket some document certifying that the bearer of it is not a falsified samovar.

One of the townsfolk, who has two daughters studying at the women's gymnasium, complains to us about the order that exists in the dressing room at the gymnasium. Often galoshes disappear from there; it’s good if the new galoshes disappear and the old ones are left in their place, otherwise it also happens that a schoolgirl who comes to the gymnasium in good warm galoshes has to return home in her shoes alone. The buttons of one schoolgirl's jacket were cut off in the same place, and the jacket itself was badly damaged. The tapes at the coupling are often cut off. We think that these rather ugly phenomena can be eliminated: one need only arrange hangers with numbers and oblige the porter to give out dresses and overshoes only upon presentation of the number under which they were handed over when moving to the gymnasium.
