JAPS HAVE
WON VICTORY
OF STRATEGY

Toxic, June 22.-The hope is stead
lily rising throughout the country that
the events of the war have so shaped
themselves as to require the decisive
battles to be fought between Mukden
and the sea. At the very outset the
mikado's generals directed their STRAIT
egg to that end; but they scarcely ven
successful, nor do they now think that
General Kuropatkin deliberately chose
to allow the Japanese the advantage of
fighting near the sea rather than far
inland.
Kuropatkin in Bad Fix.
They are persuaded that the Russian
commander, eager to conciliate certain
persOnages in st. Petersburg, under
took to harass the Japanese before
Port Arthur and suddenly found him
self. as the result of a swift counter
movement, so deeply involved as to
render his withdrawal almost impcs-
sible.
Respite for Port Arthur.
General Kuroki may be expected to
strike the railway only when the enc,
my is locked in a death struggle
in the south or when he shows a de.
termination. if possible, to avoid
such a struggle. The army at
Port Arthur is still considered large
enough to take the fortress when the
japanese decide that the time for the
final result has arrived Military ex-
perts believe that if Gen. Oku is real.

pursuing Stakelberg he will return to
Port Arthur to direct the coup de

Z. +. Truax, publisher OF the
Ward County Independent, was
held up by a bold highwayman
on Main Street between the Rail
road Restaurant and the Great
Northern depot at $50 O'Clock
Friday night as he was going to
the depot to catch a train to
take him to his ranch in the wes-
tern part OF the county. Mr..
Truax carried an umbrella and
a suit case, and as it was still as
light as day, was surprised, when
a rough looking fellow with a
SLOUGH hat stepped up and said:
GLOW much money have you
got?" Mr.. Truax did not wait
to answer but jerked loose from
the thief and throwing up his
suit case, forced the fellow back.
The man ran away and disap-
peared behind some box cars.
The matter was at once reported
to the night policeman, D. H.
Kimball, who searched the city
for the highwayman, but no trace
Of him could be found. Minot is
overrnn with a lot OF good for
nothing thugs and thieves and
it will be we'll for everyone to be
on the lookout.

Statistics usually make dry reading but statistics of American progress
 are about as juicy as any literature
 that can be Written-at least for an
 American. A pretty reliable criterion of material progress is the trade movements between this and foreign nations from year to year. The ex- ports of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30 last were valued at $1,46O,O00,OO0. That figure never has been surpassed except in 1901, when the total was $27, ,000, 900 larger. There was notable decline the last fiscal year in exports of wheat and corn which was not made good by the increase in the items of cotton and manufactured products. The exports Of manufactures were larger than in any preceding year. This is a partial setoff for the decline in domestic consumption. Imports were $99O,O00,0oO, being $3o,0oo GOO less than last year, but so much in excess of 1901 as to make 1903-O4 the best year in the history of the coun- try as regards total trade The com bined exports and imports aggregate G2,451, ,000,O01 against $2,445, ,OO0, ,OOO for the fiscal year 1902-O3. The ex- cess of exports toyer imports was $470,oo0,oO0, being $75,000OOo Rore than for the preceding year. During period of 40 years American agri- cultural exports have increased from $41, 100000 to $4O7, 100000 When north and south were locked in frat, ricidal strife, there were but 2,10O,OOC farms in the whole country. Now there are 6,O00.O00.s The farms were worth $S,200,OO0,O00 then and are val

Another Grand Ere e Offer.

The wonders of the new discovery for examining and treating the sick and afflicted have been investigated by great many people since the Radio Chemic Physicians located their suite of offices in the Commercial Building, no Bank street. A large number have been benefited and cured by the scten- tificl and conscientious treatments of these skilled and experienced special ists. Others, who would have liked to secure the services of the X-Ray Doc tors, have been prevented by the throngs of people waiting for treat ments. To such as have never been under the care of the Radio-Chem1c Physicians, those who have been ex- amined but failed to take treatment are also included, is extended an invi- tat1on to come to the office within the next two weeks for gratuitous X-Ray examination. and in addition a free trial treatment. No matter what the nature of the disease is, they will give you their services absolutely without charge or compensation on any day excepting Sunday. The offer is limit ed in time only. and includes also free trial treatments with the X-Ray, V1o- let Light and Mechanical-Magnetic Machine
