The Factory Strike

Last Friday some OF the labor
ers at the sugar factory who were
intending to quit soon, agitated
for an increase of five cents an
hour in wages, an got 46 to join
them in their demand The mat
ter was laid before the manage
ment and rejected, so the men
quit Saturday morning. During
the day some of the agitators pro-
posed going to the factory and
taking the fires out of the furnaces
and stopping the work, but others
counseled against it. Thirty-sev-
en- of them drew their wages and
most of them left town and on
Monday the others reconsidered
matters and asked for their places
back which was gladly granted.
The working force is better than
it was before, the agltators and

80 empty wagons, 8 persons on
horseback. 8 on foot and 1856

makes an average for the vehicles,
of one for every two and a third
minutes throughout the day, but

What Preachers are Telling
the People
is A FRIEND OF PROCESS
A Sunday Talk on Hygiene, Electricity,
Heredity-How the Poet Told the Story
OF Hereditary Law

Sunday evening Rev. White
spoke at the Methodist church on
"The Coming Man. He touched
rather lightly on "The New Wo-
man." but emphasized the thought
that the coming man wils be more
a men of his word and less a man
of tricks and sharp practice than
than the man of today. That
such men are in demand and will
be more in demand every year,
while the tricky class will be left
more and more to themselves
from business and social stand
point. The speaker predicted
that even politics, real, live ac-
tive working material politics will
be improved and cleanscd and
till it will not be the re-
proach that attaches to it to such
a great extent today.
Rev. j FL, Mcpherson of Ross
Fork conducted the service at the
Episcopal church Sunday, and
will be here again on October 2.
The new minister for the Bap-
dst church will conduct his first
service the second of October.
There was lecture at the L.
D. 5. Hall on Sunday afternoon
by Agnes Wlnzell, graduate of
electric therapeutics, to which the
public was invited, and many who
vent expressed themselves Well
'epaid. The speaker talked on
he subject of disease, it's cause

hat as electricity is the life ele-
nent, that 1t is strong factor in

for demonstrating these
matters, and claims that by appli-
'ation of electricity the matter
which is foreign to the system can

much the same way as nature
loes it IN the capillarles. She
.lso dwelt on the laws of heredi-
y, and brought out the thought
hat the cure of disease in a

nd that each generation has

noral and physical laws by which

LAST ATTACK ONPORI ARTHUR
JAPANESE FORCED BACK IN FIRST
ATTEMP AT FORTRESS.
Great Disappointment to Japanese
Generals-Band of Specially Trained
Swordsmen Made Vicious Attack in
Hand to Hand Fieht-Fiercest Since
Beginning Of Siege.

Toxic, Nov 29-Offcial advices
received at the war Office from
Japanese headquarters at Port Arthur
state that the general attack upon the
fortress which began in the afternoon
of November &c is still in progress.
That day was one of disappointment to
the Japanese. Generals Nakamura and
Saito, leading specially trained bands
of swordsmen, charged into the forts
utterly regardless of the whitening fire
directed at them. Many of the attack
ers were shot in their tracks. but the
others continued the wild rush over
the bodies of the dead and wounded
and finally reached the parapets.
The attack was directed mainly
against the Sungshushan and Ehrlung-
shan Notifications and the northern
forts of east Kekwanshan. Simultane-
ously other Japanese detachments
brought mountain and field guns with
in range of the points of attack.
While the swordsmen escalded the
parapets and hurled themselves
against the defenders, the guns shelled
the breastworks with awful results.
Dead and wounded rolled down the in
clined approaches. Soon the attack,
which was meant to be an onslaught
of such overwhelming force that it
would sweep the parapets clear of their
defenders, developed into a hand to
hand fight of such fury and ferceness
as eclipsed any that has occurred since
the beginning the siege
The valor of the defenders might
we'll be termed unparalleled. In the
face of the well aimed slashes of de-
termined swordsmen and the havoc
wrought by the Japanese soldiers. they
gradually drove back the attackers.
Hundreds fell, killed or disabled. Rifles
were thrown away and swords took
their place, and after a while even
these weapons became useless, so close
was the fight.
AS the evening progressed it de-
veloped into fights of man against man,
hundreds of them locked in the dead
ly embrace at one time, the Russians
NhuSoNOiihB w uld6 CnSll dutd6OulSIo
over the edge of the breastworks, the
Japanese straining every muscle to
hurl themselves, with their victims,
down the inclines leading to the Jap
anese approaches. When this state
had been reached the Japanese guns
became useless. A single shell would
have killed as many friends as foes.
Then the fight began to grow uneven
and the order was given to retire. The
losses on either side may not yet be
estimated.
