TRAPPING TIE EAGLE.
HOW THE TRICK IS DONE BY
 MoQUI INDIANS.
A Peculiar Tribe with Many Points of Interest-Denizens of the Arizona Desert for
 Centuries.

The Moqui Pueblo Indians of north- ern Arizona are probably at the pres ent time the most interesting and unique tribe of aboriginees inhabiting the American continent. They live in villages located upon the summits of several detacheag fiat-topped, sand stone mountains that rise up from a broad, wind-sWept plain, like great monuments. The sides of these lofty, f1at-topped remains of what was once, doubtless, an extensive mountain range, are quite precipitous, and the top in each case can only be reached by means of tortuous path excavated along the breast of the mountain. Up this path. stones from the plains, and timbers from the forests, many miles away, have been carried for the con- struction of buildings, year after year, century after century, for an unknown period of the past
 Coronado, the Spanish explorer, in his quest for the city of CiholG, about the middle of the sixteenth century. found these people living on the tops of the mountains they now occupy. Some anthropologists claim that they are remnant of the once powerful Az tees, and that their villages on the Arizona 'smesas'' are at least as old a5 the conquest of Mexico by Hernando Cortez tn the fifteenth century.
 The occupation of these nesas for even a brief period seems remarkable, in view of the fact that the surround ing country is a sandy desert, and the water supply barely sufficient for the daily needs of the people. Indeed, bath ing of the person and washing of clothes are almost unknown practices, a fact quickly made evident to the American visitor at the villages, or by the chance meeting of wandering Moqui.
 Once, it Is said, a couple of these peo- pie made their way to the Rio Grande valley, and impelled by curiosity visit ed the Montezuma hotel, near Las Ve- gas. Their presence was markedly off

REMARKABLY BRAVE LAPS.
Matchless Courage Displayed by the Little Soldiers in the Battle
 of Kinchow.

Devoid of all rhetoric, thoroughly
 characteristic of the man and his achievements, is the official report of Gen Olxu, commander of the second Japanese army in the battle of Kin chow, which included the storming of Nanshan hill, but the bare facts chron- icle one of the most remarkable feats of arms in history, the magnitude of the undertaking, the matchless display of courage on the part of the Japanese troops, becoming more and more 1m- pressive as one reads between the lines, says the Detroit Free Press Tn the face Of prospect that to less determined men would have meant certain defeat, the Japanese infantry at nine o'clock in the morning began charging up the face of Nanshan hill, 2,000 feet in height, upon the peak of which the Russians had erected permanent Notifications, equipped with rapid fire guns and 70 heavy cannon, and defended by more than 12,000 men. The carnage that fol- lowed was indescribable, entire com panies falling in their tracks, while those behind, exposed to the pitiless hail of lead from the heights above, infuriated rather than daunted by the frightful spectacle, swept forward like averaging fends, blind to danger, bent only on attaining the desired ends re- gardless of cost Detachment after de-

est teachings Of tactics and the perma-
nent principles of strategy; not only
because the troops Of the two armies
have fought with desperate yalor. The
battle of Liaoyang is of such stupen-
dous significance because it is fight
between the west and the east, be-
tween the most despotic country of
the west and the freest people of the
east; because in a fight with substan-
TALLY equal forces on each side, in
position of its own choosing, the west
has succumbed to the east, the white
man to the yellow. Such battle
must take place high up among the
most decisive battles of the world.

come, was forced to adopt the tactics,

ing, the discipline and experience Of

La Toilette was the striking feature Of
the Wisconsin Democratic convention,
which concluded it's work Thursday
night by nominating the ticket given
above. Former Governor Peck was
nominated for Governor by acclama-
ton.
Governor Peck's name was presented
to the convention by Neal Brown, of
Wausau, who arraigned both factions
of the Republican party, saying they
had turned states evidence and were
selling the truth about each other.
Mr.. Peck, who was given tremen-
dous ovation after the ballot, read
typewriter speech Of acceptance. He
said the political conditions in Wis
consin threatened to lead to anarchy.
The platform declares for the refor-
nation of the tariff, says the recent
