JAPAN AND RUSSIA APPEAR
WILLING TO PATCH UP AN
AGREEMENT.
A MoDUS CoNCtRtiNG KaRtA

London, Oct. 15.-The trend of in.
formation regarding the far Eastern
s!tuat on is less alarming. The Frank.
furter Zeitung, whose sensational an.
nouncement of the occupation of Ma
San Pho by Japan Monday o%ccasioned
disquiet here, yesterday published a
telegram from Shanghai saving that
there i sno confirmation of the report
ed occupation of that place.
Situation Not Hopeless.
Tokyo, Oct. Is. = At the residence
OF Count Katsura, the prime minister,
a prolonged conference took place
yesterday morning with reference to
the present dispute with Russia.
Notwithstanding the apparent con
Germ CT the privv council and the
cab;Het the situation is not necessari-
ly %Aareless. Japan, owing to recent
developments, is simply presenting a
bold front and preparing for emerg-
enc.es in case Russia should reject it's
proposals.
All reports emanating from Shang-
hal Of the opening of hostilities are
absurd. R::sso-Japanese affairs are
marking time.
Sore Russians Want War.
st. Petersburg, Oct. Is. - Some of
the more impetuous military advisers
OF the government recommend an i'm
mediate attack on Japan. They de-
clare that the Japanese have already
violated tho indonopjopoo IF Koroo
and are Fastening preparations for
war with Russia as 500 as the snow
and ice of the winter handicap the
Russian army. The majority of these
bellicose officers belong to that class
of less enlightened commanders which
monkeys"
Gen. K%uropatkin, on the other hand,
has a profound respect for the Jap
anese army, and wishes every am
icable resource exhausted before the
sword is u%nsheathed. His view is in
dorsed by all the other really great
authorities.
Ru3s;a IS now transporting $4,000
troops, nurses, physicians and hospi-
tai supplies to the far East. The pres
ent strength of the russian army now
there ie reliably reported to be $4,000
men. Cheers detailed for duty in
the Orieet have. been forbidden to
take their wives.
Modus Concerning Korea.
London, Oct. Is. - Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here, has re-
ceived reassuring news from Japan
with reference to the situation in the
far East. Japan and Russia appear
willing to arrange a modus vivendi
concerning Korea, which country, and
not Manchuria, is the extreme point
of difference.

A Nearo's Maxims.

Colored folks. be polite t o the white
folks and all other kind of folks.
The loud-mouthed, staggering. dis
reputable colored folks are the bane
of the colored people of this country.
Colored men. honesty is the best
policy, and we should not fail to re-
member the maxim.
We shall win our way to the top
most round in the ladder of success If
we p~ersevere and faint not by the
wayside.
We stand for correct living and the
strict observance of the law, and we
have no sympathy with the lawless
elements, be they white or black.
Colored men. we have been and r
now on trial. 1t is absolutely essen.
tial that we do all we can to win the
respect and esteem of the better class
Of white citizens Of this country

GETS THE INDIAN SCHOOL.
Enterprise Will Call for Nearly Halt
a Million Dollars.

Enterprise Will Call for Nearly Half
a Million Dollars.
The Bismarck citizens committee
in charge Of the furtherance Of the
city's interests in connection with the
Indian school to be established at or
near Bismarck by the department Of
the interior, has received word that
the site offered by the city has been
accepted and the school located there
by the secretary. At a meeting Of the
committee arrangements were made
for obtaining title to the, site and It's
school will be located on the bluff
overlooking the Missouri river, and
near the steamboat. wharf. There are
l60 acres in the site, the greater part
OF which belonged to- the Northern
Pacific company, but Which has been
given by the road to the citizens COM
mite as a site for the school. There
is a tract of a few acres which must
be purchased by the city and for
which negotiations have been ON,
pleted.
An appropriation of $50, 900 has al
ready been made for beginning work,
and it is understood that the plans of
the department contemplate the es-
t%ablishment of one of the largest In
dian schools in the country at Bis
marck. The total expenditure for
buildings and Improvements will
probably not be far from half a mil
lion dollars when the institution is
completed. The climate and environ.
ments Of the school will be largely
similar to those enjoyed by the In
dian or his native soil, and the school
will be practically central in the west
ern Indian district.
The Indian school will make the
second extensive government institu-
ton that has been landed by citizens
Of Bismarck. The first was the new
Fort Lincoln, three miles southeast
Of the city, where there are stationed
wv companies of infantry, and where
about twenty modern brick buildings
a v been erected in the last three or
four years. 80
With the completion OF the work
Under way there will be at Fort Lin
coin two barrack buildings, each sufa-
Gent for 100 men, three double sets
Of officers quarters. hospital building,
guard house, administration building,

partment, with other smaller struc-
lures, and a complete water and sew.

District.

District.
Great Falls, Mont, Get. IA. - The
Great Falls land Office has received
instructions from Washington to
withdraw from entry under the desert
law all lands in the district lying
south Of the Missouri river. The order
affects approximately 1,150,000 acres.
The officials were instructed also to
suspend pending investigation all des-
ert entries Upon which patents have
not been issued. These orders are
the result of a report made by Special
Agent Chadwick, who recently was
sent to this city by the interior de-
partment to investigate the charge
that gross frauds were being COM
mitted in this district. The report Is
said to have been a sensational one,
sustaining practically every charge
made by United States Senator Gibson
of Montana.

DON'T LIKE tilt LAW.

"BootIessins" SAID to Be Increasing
Under the Shells Act.
There is a greater epidemic of boot
ever known before. The change in
the druggist parmit law has resulted
in but few of tia drug stores applying
for permits. and there is less oppor.
tunity for outsiders to secure liquor.
The heavy penalty for o.eEses makes
the druggists very careful and af-
fords the b~ootleggers an excellent OPP
p%ortunity. Nearly every section of
the state complains of the large mum.
Der of men engaged in the business
and arrests are frequent.
