Yesterdays municipal election was
one OF the most quiet held in the city
for years. The principal contest was
over the Office Of city attorney, but 1t
became evident in the early part OF
the day that Smith was a sure winner.
but 1t was not expected his majority
would be so large. Smith defeated
Taylor by over two to one, carrying
every precinct except the fourth, where
Taylor had three majority.
In the Second ward the contest was
between Franciscovich and Morton,
and up to o'clock it looked as though
Franciscovich would be elected. In
the Third ward warm contest was
waged over the Office of councilmen.
Friends of Jacobson and Stanglund
were working for Smith. which ac-
counts for his large majority in the
the Third ward. In Uniontown, where
Taylor was supposed to be strong. ne

The total voto cast was as follows:

about 400 less than was cast year

Prosecutor Heney has said that he was
partly actuated In asking for the con-

for trial In order that he could present
some important matters to that body,
considerable speculation has arisen as
to what this strong arm OF the gov

One thing is certain. and that Is that
some startling issues are expected.
While no one knows the ways Of the
mysterious body, II is hinted from vari-,
Gus sources that the cases Of C. E. Loo

figured so prominently during the re-

result Is open to conjecture. Rumors
are ahoat In which 1t is speculated
that several characters In high station
may become victims Of the grand jury's
investigations.

The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1904-09-28

During the past week Oyama gave
up his pursuit of Kouropatkin anc
withdrew his forces, which had near
ly reached Mukden, back to the YEN
tail coal mines, twelve miles north of
Liaoyang. Since that time there has
been no fighting between the armies
and little skirmishing. Both sides are
worn out. Furthermore, the japanese,
who are particularly sensitive about
their transport arrangements, must
now continue their lines to Bentsia-
putze, twenty-eight miles southeast of
Mukden.
Kuroki came to Liaoyang from
Fengwangcheng, about seventy miles
southeast. Nodzu came along the rail
road, and Oku pushed up from Taku-
shan, a point on the coast about mid
way the railroad and Fengwangcheng.
The three armies met and united. Be
fore this conveyance was effected,
Kuroki brought supplies over the high
road from Fengwangcheng, Oko over
the byroads from Takushan, while
fsodzu pushed his carts up both sides
of the railway e~mbankment, and had
the easiest time of the three.
Now that the three armies have
united, it is doubtful whether they
will continue to maintain all three
lines of communication. Lines of com
munication require guards, and
guards subtract so much from the
fighting force. TIL most eyDOSed line
was General Kurokis. 1t is reported
that General Linevitch, with $4,000
men, has cut this line. Fifty thousand
Is an absurd figure. The Russians
haven't that many men to spare in
raids, but 5000, or $500, cavalry may
have crossed the high road and stop

proved that the japanese staff was
wise in its precaution. Japan feels
that it is fighting for its existence and
not for glory.
At Port Arthur, Time is fighting
against the Russian. Every day eats
up more of their meager stock of food
and fires off many rounds Of their in
sufficient supply Of ammunition.
Smokeless powder has given out, or,
at least, there remains only a small
stock Of 1t, which is being boarded
against general assaults.
At last accounts the Japs seemed to
be planning to attack Rihlung and
Kikwang hills. They are strengthen
ing their positions at Palichwang, less
than a half mile from Rihlung, and
are steadily extending their parallel
trenches in the direction of the forts
from the north and northeast. These
two forts are examples of defective en-
cheering. Large shoulders of earth
and rock ridge the northern slopes of
the two hills. Immediately behind
theses shoulders are dead" space
which cannot be reached by guns on
the top. The Japs have crawled up
by night to the dead spaces and in
this shelter have dug trenches. The
detachments occupying these positions
carry with them food, water and am
munition sufficient for three days.
Then they are relieved by night and
other detachments occupy the positions
for the next three days. The Russians

self by the broader lines OF communi-
cation along the railway and up the

counter movements Of small Japanese
attachments which SO well conceal
what is going or behind. Kuroki used
this mobile screen for six weeks be-

employed it for ove a month before
