from this city three from Oronoco, and
three from Chatfeld, all going to Pierre,
S. D., to take up land. They are sol
diers' widows, and under state laws,
each one of these ladies is entitled to
100 acres of land out there. The party
was under the leadership of Joseph Wal
lace of Pierre.
The ladies who composed the party
this morning were, from Rochester, Mes

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Henry Davis Sewers His Windpipe
at Napoleon Yesterday.
From Mondays Daily. Z

Dependent over his physical condi-
tion, having been in i'll health for some
time, Henry Davis attempted to end his
life at his home in Mapleton yesterday
by cutting his throat with jackknife.
He managed to sever the windpipe, but
a doctor was summoned hastily and the
aperture was closed by the insertion
of a number of stitches.
Mr.. Davis is eightytwo years of
age and for some weeks past he has not
been in the best of health. After COM
hitting the deed yesterday he remarked
that he wanted to put an end to his
troubles. Mr.. Davis was formerly a far
mer. His wife is still living.
A son of the would-be suicide recently
resigned the position of recorder of the
village of Mapleton to accept the cash
iership of the Walker State bank. The
old gentleman's condition is critical.

ATTACHED HIS TROUSERS.

Nine. Marian Liljens, the lady who.
clad in an asbestos suit, did the fire dive
act at last summers carnival in the city,
having just returned from the west The
diver says that she was one of the lucky
ones when it came to getting money
from George Jabour whose show went on
the rocks at Spokane. The method
adopted by Nine. Liljens was certainly
original and consisted of attaching one
of Georges trunks containing all of his
trousers. The success of the maneuver
is explained by the performer who says:

diamonds he might not have paid me
but he had to have those Ntrousers.-Min-

London, Oct. PA report was in
circulation on the Stock Exchange that
the negotiations between Russia and
Japan had been broken Off, but the for
eign Office officials here said they had
not heard anything confrmatory Of the
rumor This statement was made sub.
sequent to a visit paid by Baron Haya-

The officials OF the foreign office added
that the report was contrary to the
general trend OF its information.
A press dispatch from Yokohama
says that the ministerial conferences,
naval preparations and, notably, the
appointment Of Vice Admiral Toga,
known as the fighting admiral" 10
command the standing squadron have
led to a renewal of the anticipations Of
trouble. Some decided development IN
the crisis is expected soon. The steam
ship and railroad companies are report
ed to have been notified to be in readi-
ness for emergencies.
Russian Activity Unabated.
A dispatch from Reuters Telegram
company from Tokyo says:
Russian military activity on the
Korean frontiers is undated. The i'm
portant newspapers take a gloomy
view. They are inclined TO believe that
Russia does not intend to fulfill her re-
peated promises and declarations, in
which case it will be incumbent upon
Japan to take decisive steps for the
sake Of her own existence. The Jap
anese gunboat Chiokai was to have
wintered at Newehwang, but this ar
rahgement has been countermanded."
A dispatch to the Novoe Yremya Of

The following Spartan-like way of
bringing up boy is presented by the Au-
gusta, Ca, Chronicle, and there is a good
deal Of common sense in IL: Teach your
boy self-reliance Don't encourage him in
the idea that he is ruined II he cuts his
finger or let him become demoralized at
the sight Of blood, Or the twinge Of pain.
Let him understand that he is going to en-
counter hard knocks, and he must hit
hard in return. Boys who have guns and
go hunting with their fellows or go swim
ing with other boys, are not oftener shot
or drowned than those about whom the
greatest safeguards are thrown, while the
latter are apt to lack self-relianee when
they come to be men. and no longer have
the protecting arms OF doting parents
guarding them against every menace o.
danger Get into your boys head the fac
that he l. going to be man and the soon
or he starts the more certain will be thu
achievements.
