Of one OF the embassies says It Is
clearly part of General Kuropatkin's
strategy TO permit the Japanese to
have several small victories in north
ern Korea so as to draw them north
ward toward Harbin.- He adds:
These were the Russian tactics du.
ring the Turkish war, they permitting
the Turks to win small skirmishes,
which drew them forward until the
Russians were massed at Plevna. Sew
eral victories in north Korea will so
stimulate the Japanese ambition that
they will adopt the cry of ON to Har-
bin. which is exactly the point to
which General Kuropatkin seeks to
lure them.

DEATH CALLS BOWEN
Was Once State Senator From Brown
County.

Thomas. E. Bowen, founder of the
Sleepy Eye Herald and at one time
state senator from Brown county, died
at the state hospital in st. Peter Fri
day afternoon, from general paralysis.
He had been in poor health for the
last three or four years and had been
at the hospital since last March.
Mr.. Bowen was SIS years of age and
was born in Blossburgh, Pa. In 1855
he came to Minnesota with his parents
and spent his school days in Manka-
to. In 1879 he started the Herald in
Sleepy Eye and in 1886 was elected to
the senate, where he served one term.
In 1890 he moved to Duluth and be-
came editor of the Daily News, acting
in that capacity for number of years.
His wife is sister of Mrs. A. c..

SOLDIERS LEAVE SATURDAY
Only Few Days Before the March
Back Begins.
Last Target Practice Shooting Was
Held Yesterday.
Work on New UIm Ranges Has
Been Very Satisfactory.

In few days more New Ulm will be
deserted by it's soldier visitors. Satur-
day of this week is the date set for the
breaking up Of camp and the begin
ming of the march back to Fort Smell
ing. They will go as they came, with
rattle of cannon, with their limbers
and caissons, clank of sabres, a
beating Of horses hoofs, and unique
experience for the city will be over.
The actual work of the battalion was
finished up yesterday when the last
tomorrow and Friday will be devoted
to the work of cleaning up the camping
grounds. shipping by freight the tar
gets and such things as the battalion
does not wish to carry in its march
back to the fort, and rest for the men
preparatory for the march. The bat
TALON will reach ST. Peter sometime
Saturday and will Sunday there.
The trip and practice at New Ulm
has been successful in every way, says
Major Allen, and he is well satisfied
with the results. The shooting here
has been uniformly good and some of
it has been exceptionally SO.
The reason for making these trips
for practice down into the country,
says the major, is not because there
are no good ranges near the fort which
can be used, but because it is desired
to give men and horses the experience
derived from moderately long march.
Marching is as much a part Of the
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-10-19

soldiers work as is shooting and drill
ing and in actual warfare the swiftness
and endurance of the troops often de-
eide battles.
All the men can ride fairly well, but
it is only by spending several days. in
the saddle that they become at perfect
ease on horseback. The horses too
are inclined to be little too spirited
and unsteady for perfect work on the
cannon and it is these long marches
which tone them down and work them
into veterans.
Not only has the trip and the prac-
tice been very satisfactory, but Major
Allen and the other officers express
themselves in hearty fashion of the
hospitality of New Ulm. They say
they have never been in any city where
they have been treated with more
courtesy and where they have had a
better time.
New Ulm, in turn, has never enter
tanned guests which she liked better.
The officers and men are all gentlemen
and have given a fine example of what
the United States army should be and
for the most part is. There has been
no disorderly conduct aside from a
few cases of drunkenness day Or two
after pay day.
The citizens Of New Ulm, perhaps do
not recognize generally that the get
ting of the battalion here and its en-
tertainment have entailed considerable
work, but it is SO. And the greater
share of this has fallen upon few
men. General Joseph Bobleter, Major
L. G. Vogel, Fred Engelbert and Chas.
Stuebe are the men to whom the great
est amount of credit is due
The officers of the battalion are SO
highly pleased with the New Ulm
ranges and the treatment that it is
more than likely that they will return
to this city next year for practice

WHEAT YIELDSPLENTIFUL
United States Will Soon Gross Border
For Wheat.

| The results of the threshing in
Western Canada are not yetcompleted,
but from information at hand, it is
safe to say that the average per acre
will be reasonably high, and a fair
estimate will place the total yield of
wheat at 60, 1000, 900 bushels. At present
prices this will add to the wealth of
the farmers nearly $50, 100000 Then
think of the immense yield of oats and
barley and the large herds of cattle,
for all of which good prices will be
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton,
minister of the interior, to Lord
Strathcona, high commissioner for
| Canada:
'sAm now able to state definitely
that under conditions of unusual
difficulty in Northwest fair average
crop of wheat of good quality has
been reaped and is now secure from
substantial damage. The reports Of
INJURY by frost and rust were grossly
exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from ffty-five to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel."
Frank H. Spearman, is the Saturday
Evening POST says:
ssWhen our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isothermal demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
] ably be grown north of where the line
was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 300 miles north of
the Canadian Pacific railroad. and the
day is not indefinitely distant when the
United States will knock at the doors
of Canada for its bread. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.

sensational play of the game was
made when the soldiers broke through
the line for a fifteen yard run.
In the next three plays fortune de-
serted the soldiers and the ball passed
to their opponents. Sleepy Eye made
a good gain through left-tackle and
time was called.
The game one the whole was clean
