State Militia.

In answer to an inquiry from the secre-
tary of war Adjutant General Miller has
made a report to the department of the
militia strength of the state to be used
in basing the apportionment of govern
ment funds for supplies and equipments
under the new law. General Miller's re-
port shows a complement of twelve COM
panfes of infantry, one troop of cavalry,
a battery of light artillery, band and hos
pital corps.
The law passed by congress last winter
gave the militia of the country $1,000 900
as an annual appropriation for supplies
instead of $4OO,0OO, as formerly. This will
increase the allowance of North Dakota,
it is estimated, from $4,000 to about Sc, 500,
and will be Of great advantage to the
militia of the state.

Prairie Fire.

A prairie fire is reported to have de-
stroyed considerable Of the range in the
vicinity of Deer Lake, northwest Of
Jamestown. The grass is so dry that a
great deal of care must be exercised to
prevent fires. This fire is reported to have
destroyed the grass or a strip eight miles
long and of considerable width. The
farmers were engaged in numerous in
stances in cutting hay and the loss to
them is quite large as many tons of hay
were destroyed. Hay is a scarce article,
and in the strip destroyed there were
many hundred acres of meadow.

A Shower of Fish.

A shower of fish dropped from the
clouds during a rain storm near George
Nelson's ranch in the western part of
Stutsman county. and were scattered
over the prairie in the fields for a mile
or more. The fish were the native bull
heads of the streams, and some of them
were of good size. One is reported over
six inches in length, and a good many
two or three inches Showers of min
nows have been known in various parts
of the country, but no such large fish as
these a ever been seen dropping with
a rain storm. 1t is supposed tina the fish
were scooped up from some pond or
stream and carried by the wind to the
place where they fell. A number of peo-
pie picked them up.

OHIO ELECTIONS TODAY.
Hot Fight in the Queen City Against

Active Part.
CINCINNATI, o., April 1.-The an
nual municipal and township elections
occur In Ohio tomorrow. The con-
tests involve the control of party organ
ization as well az local ofElcers. In Gin
clnnatI 1t is the old fight against George
b. Cox, as the local Republican leader.
The regular Republican ticket is head
ed by Colonel julius FleIschmnnn for
mayor and the fusion ticket by State
senator Alfred NJ. Cohen. The latter
ticket is equally divided into nOmina-
tlons between Democrats and anti-Cox
Republicans. Cohen Is a Democrat.
Both candidates FOR mayor are promi-
nent Hebrews. The fusion ticket won
easily thtce years ago, but the result
will be so close tomorrow that parts of
each ticket will likely be elected.
In Cleveland and Toledo the factlonal
fighting has made the situations pecul-
lar. Senator Hanna is quite an issue In
both these cities. In Cleveland there
have been many meetlngD but none in
Cincinnati.
In Toledo Mayor Sam Jones is fac
tor for municipal ownership, especially
OF the natural gas pipe line.
In Columbus, only minor officers will
be elected, but a fight over street rail-
way franchises magniGes the city coun.
ell into parliamentary dimensions.
In Dayton. Mayor Lndermuth. with
a full ticket stands for reelection with
a light against DR.. j. e. loves, as the
Republican leader and an issue for
cheaper city lighting. These local is
sues, factlonal fights and oppositons to
alleged bosses indicate that party lines
will not be drawn closely The women
are taking an active part in the con-
tests for members of boards Of educa-
ton, for which offices they are electors
and in many cases candidates.

of Russia can be displayed on the Pacific coast. In land contest Japan would then be overmatched by Russia, and the battles in South Africa show that the heaviest bat talions will hereafter do the fanking and the winning.
 But with the Black Sea Fleet shut in by treaty stipulations, and with the Siberian line in an incomplete state Japan has a good chance, both on sea and land. Certain fy at sea she would be able to hold her own against Russia. The latter has never fought ships on a good scale, and her genius does not seem to lie in the manage ment of the intricate machinery of modern war vessels. If Japan decides that now is the time to settle the Korean question and incidentally the limit of Russian control in China, some sea battles of severity be- tween modern ships would take place, and Japan would probably prove the winner. But Russia might prolong the war until the Siberian Railroad is completed, and the treasury of Japan is bankrupted. Such a contest would involve great chances and great losses to either party; and perhaps Russia's modesty in China just at present is due to her unpreparedness for a struggle with Japan on the Pacific ocean.
