We are glad 70 report that our school
is progressing in N exceptionally fine
manner under the guidance Of Prot.
Duncan Mckenzie and Miss E. Cassidy.
The children are showing new interest
in their work and before the close Of
the term it is expected that some very
satisfactory results from an educational
standpoint will be in evidence.
Archie Sillers, ST., has lately been
having the balance of his household
and other effects taken to Crystal City,
Man, from which place they will be
shipped to his new home in the !Assina-
boia country, where he located with his
family. Although Archie will be missed
by everybody in this settlement as a
good neighbor and all round good fel-
low there is the satisfaction of knowing
that he still hangs on to his broad
acres of Grey township land and will
some day be back among US.

We hear that j. A. Ellefson has his

and that he has already tried it by
hauling in few loads. He says that
it works to perfection and that he won't
pitch much hay up in his hay NOW with
the fork after this.

UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED
Badly DecOmpOsed Body Discovered Floating in
Grand River.

Yesterday afternoon a phone mes
sage came from Palisade, notifying
Undertaken Bannister that body of
a man was sighted in the Grand
river at that place. Parties were
stationed on the 5th street bridge to
watch for the body. Along about
4:3o, persons saw it and an attempt
was made to catch the body from
the bridge, but it passed on, and
just west of town Samuel Grady and
another man went out in a boat and
brought it to the shore.
J. w. Dodgion hitched up his
team to an express wagon and the
body was brought to the undertak-
ing parlor of Mr.. Bannister. From
indications it had been in the water
for from twelve to fifteen days, and
was in a decomposed condition.
Evidently the man was about as
years old. He had no coat on, but
was clothed in a pair of light pants

According to reports that have reach
ed Russian headquarters at Lao Yang
from Chinese circles, the Japanese
made a land attack ON Port Arthur
but have been repulsed with heavy
losses. The truth of the report is
questioned here. The report that
Rear admiral, Jassen finding it i'm
possible to save the protected cruiser,
Bogatyr went to shore in fog on the
rocks off Vladivostok, caused her to be
blown up is confirmed. The Chinese
minister says China will not seek to
participate in any congress at the
conclusion of the war Her negotia-
tions will be directly with the power
occupying Manchuria. The minister
continues to insist that China is de-
termined not to be involved iii the
war.
