Periious Position.

Newchwang, July 16.-The Russian
army under General Kuropatkin seems
to have been fairly cOrnered by the
japanese.
While General Kuropatkin was pre-

at Tatchekiao, he suddenly found the
Japs had marched across his front
and taken up a position on the hills
east of the city. The elaborate plan
OF. battle formulated by kuropathlil
was thus rendered useless.
kuropatkin, it is reported, is In a
bad way, situated as he is, for not only
has he Generals Oku and Nodzu OPP
posed to him, but General kurokl
with another large force is to the
northeast of him and might readily
advance fast and cut off the Russian
retreat toward Mukden.

CAN VOTE
Attorney General Makes a Ruling
Affecting the Primary
Election.

The attorney generalin asletter
to Sheriff Bailey rules that a
signer Of a petition for a candi-
date may also vote at the pri-
mary election, but that one who
has voted at the election cannot
afterwards sign a petition. The
following is the text of the letter:
Office Of the Attorney General,
st. Paul, September II, 1904.
MIR. THOMAS BAILEY,
Bemidji, MINI.
DEAR SIR:
In your favor of Sept. 9 you
submit the question as to wheth-
er it is lawful for the nominating
petition of an independent candi-
date to be signed and made up
prior to the primary election
day. The law does not name any
time for securing slgners to such
a petition. I can see no sound
reason why such petition may
not be lawfully signed by elect
ors prior to the primary election
day. Such signing does not de-
prive any elector of the right to
participate in any primary cleo
ton but if he does participate in
any primary election he cannot
then sign a nominating petition.
Chapter 80, General Laws of 1908.
Yours truly,
w. j. DONAHOWER,
ATTORNEY General.

TROUBLE AT

NeitherSetO OF Officers Elected
at First Election Have
Been Seated.
ACTION STARTED AGAINST
BURT CLARK.
Claims Made That Election Was
Illegal Because 1t Was Held
In Saloon.

The trouble over the first cleo
ton of the village of Spooner
held last spring has not yet been
settled and neither set of officers
which were elected at that time
have been legalized. Each of the
factions have proceeded in regu-
lar manner, however, in trans
acting the business of the village,
but the legality of the proceed
ings of each Of the two bodies is
questioned by the other.
An action has been started by
AttOrner General DonahoWer and
Matt Cannon against Bert Clark
asking that the Clark contingent
be made to show cause why they
should not be unseated and the
actions of the Cannon council
proclaimed official. The order is
signed by Judge Spooner and
was filed today at the office of
the clerk of court.
Charles W. Scrutchin, who has
acted as Cannon s attorney since
the time of the election, secured
the attention Of the attorney gen
eral who Immediately took action
with the result that the question
will be aired at the coming term

DR.. Mayland's Candidacy For
Representative Meets
With Favor.

DR.. Lewis l.. Maryland of Bag

from the counties of Beltrami,

the city today in the interests of
his candidacy. DR.. Maryland is
meeting with encouragement on
all sides. His frank statement

DR.. Mayland's interests are
Identical with those of Beltrami

there is every reason why the
people of these counties should
vote for him as against a man
who lives more than a hundred
miles away in a county whose
interests are totally different
from our.
There is very evidence that
Dr.. Mavland will be nominated
by an overwhelming vote. The

Crookston Papers Doing
Nobly in Advertising the
North Line Town.
ALL SORTS OF QUEER THINGS
CREDITED TO BLACKDUCK.
--latest is a Man Who Will Have
No Wife, But a German
Maiden,

Blackjack is indeb ed to the
Crookston daily papers for a deal
of free and fulsome advertising.
" hen they are hard pushed for
news at the Queen City of the
Red river valley they doctor up
a cock and bull story and slap it
down to the credit of Blackjack
which is far enough away to be
safe and near enough to be we'll
known. When rust has been
spread on and wiped off from
the wheat crop until the process
has grown bit wearying to the
good people of Crookston, a coffee
pot is exploded at Blackduck and
spread thick over column in
the Crookston Journal. When
the library site has been dragged
from muck of the river bottom to
the council chamb Der and back
again until the pavement and the
story grows too thin, the Crooks
ton Times gets black in the face
over a freak Blackjack farmer
who is just dying to marry but
will never marry until he finds a
maiden, a German maiden, a
young, healthy, honest, industri-
Gus, comely German maiden, a
really truly, real thing German
maiden.
These are innocent stories.
They amuse the people Of Crooks
ton.
The Crookston papers have an
immense circulation. We have
their word for it. Blackjack
would be a beast did it not ap-
preciate such advertising, gratu-
itously and periodically thrown
at it. 1t is a little off color, but
it is not well to look gift horse
too closely in the mouth.
