cotton king is found to have won
only $245,000 in the corners he en-

Elevators will be built in parts OF

receiving elevators will cooperate with
the terminal elevators, and in this way
the farmers will act in way as their

Sugar Beets.

Prospects are good for an increased
acreage of sugar beets in Minnesota
this year. The Minnesota Sugar COM
pany is just winding up the business of
1904, and those interested declare
the year successful one. In 1908 the
company contracted with /, 500 farmers
for 3,7OO of acres. On account of the
excessive rainfall and floods the acre
age was reduced to less than 5000
acres. The total yield amounted to
81, 900 tons, from which the sugar
company produced, in 105 working

A Close Cali.

A fire in the fifth floor Of the Gill

dense black smoke and forced lnga Ce-
darburg, stenographer, to seek re-

down to the street on 1O0-foot ladder
by Lieut.. Edward Low of truck COM

hazardous, for the ladder did not quite
reach to the window. The girl had to
climb along narrow ledge and decend
by long pole to reach the steps OF the
ladder.
The loss is estimated at about 81 900.

The hotel which is being built by
stock company on the north shore OF
Detroit Lake was badly damaged by
severe wind. The gale swept across
the lake with such violence that the
building buckled, the two lower stories
being thrown about five feet out OF
plumb. 1t is expected that the entire
structure will have to be taken down
and rebuilt, which will involve an ex-
pendlture of about $1,000: The hotel

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR HOUR
Conducted by Grace Livingston Hill.

For June 8, 1904
Topic: How My Silence Witnesses
Against Christi Matthew, xii:3O; Luke,
xvii:12-19.
Matthew, xii:3O. He that is not with me
is against me, and he that gathereth not
with me scattereth abroad.
Luke, xvii:12. And as he entered into a
certain village, there met him ten men
that were lepers. which stood afar off:
13. And they lifted up their voices and
said. Jesus, Master have mercy on US.
IA. And when He saw them, He said
unto them, Go show yourselves unto the
priests. And it came to pass, that, as they
went. they were cleansed.
10. And one of them, when he saw that
he was healed, turned back and with a
loud voice glorified God,
16. And fell down on his face at His feet,
giving Him thanks; and he was a Samari-
tan.
II. And Jesus answering said, Were
there not ten cleansed. but where are the
nine?
1S. There are not found that returned to
give glory to God, save this stranger.
10. And He said unto him, Arise. go thy
way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
The Samaritans have no mean record in
the annals Of the kingdom. AS witnesses
they stand to the forefront. The woman
at the well even left her waterproof and
forgot her own interests to run and tell
the news that Jesus had come and had
told her all things that ever she did. This
leper. the only Samaritan apparently in
the whole score, Sd soon as he finds that
he IL healed, turns at once and with a
loud voice. loud as the one in which he
cried for help, gives the glory to God,
witnessing to all who are within hearing
or16 hnG NO mr. aad
miracle for him.
Now. there is no question hnt that the
other nine were healed. The, Bible dis
tinctly says: AS they went they were
cIeansed, and Jesus mentions their alb
sence from that praise meeting, too. 1t
may be that some of them thought 1t best
to go and see what the priest would say be-
fore giving glory to any one, Just as there
be as we'll for them to test Themselves a

with other things we have no time to do
Christian work, no time to prepare for

Jesus. not time even to pray for some other
soul, and so we mas the recognition and
praise from the Master.
There is no record that any of those nine
who were healed ever went back to give
that belated praise to God after they had
showed themselves to the priests. 1t is not
often that man gives God the glory for
some blessing unless he stops to do 1t at
once. for SO quickly do we get used to
blessings that we forget after a few min
utes but what we have had them always.

President Roosevelt at the White

that In his judgment there was no
doubt OF his election: that New York
state would give him a plurality APP
proximating 10000 votes. and IL this
prediction proved to be correct, the Re-
publican state ticket also would be
successful. A very material reduc-
ton I'm the Presidents estimated plu-
rality. Mr.. Root said, might endanger
the state ticket.
The former Secretary, in discussing
the campaign which is now drawing
to a close. expressed his qualification
that so far as the Republican National
Committee was concerned, II had been
conducted amicably. There had not
been any discord. he said. and II had
not left any heart burnings.
The amount of money expended by
the Republican Committee did not ag-
grcgate more than half of that which
had been expended during the McKin-
ley campaign four years ago.

NO HEAD DARED SHOW
ABOVE BREASTW0RKS.

Gen. Oku's Headquarters on the
Schili River Wednesday. oct 26, p.
m. (Delayed)-The great armies of
Field Marshal Oyama and Cen Ku-
ropatkin still lie facing one another,
after a week practically devoid of ac-
tion. The trenches along the entire
line average orny 500 yards apart. Men
are in the trenches night and day ex-
changing shots. Neither side dares
raise head above the parapet 1t
would be suicidal to do so. The ar
tillery searches the lines during the
day. and at night the Russians use
searchlights. The lines are so close
that outposts are impossible.
AT night the pickets of both sides
creep out few yards, TO give warning
Of sudden attack and retire before
dawn. The nervous tension is reach
ing the breaking point. and a great
battle may be precipitated at night
by a single man losing his mind un-
der the strain. The casualties caused
by the nightly artillery attacks are
small, but the moral effect is strong.
The Russians are using searchlights to
sweep the plain between the trenches
at night. This is the first time that
they have been used ia field operations
in the present war.
Gen. Kuropatkin has been largely
reinforced since the battle of Lao
Yang. II is believed that many new
troops have arrived from Europe. The
japanese are bringing up new men and
a move is expected soon. The Japanese,
despite the hard fighting and nervous
strain, are in excellent physical con-
dition. 1t is believed that the next

but the defenders carried off the re-
mains of the guns when they were
forced to retire.
The Japanese infantry attack under
cover of the bombardment was made
In close order. There was desperate
hand-to-hand fighting in the trenches
followed by a counter attack, with the
bayonet. The Japanese finally gained
the hill. but were unable to hold il in
the face OF the deadly Russian artil-
lery fire. tH
There have been number of skir-
mishes along the front. but no deVel-
opment of any serious import has yet
appeared though the armies are in the
closest touch. and general engage
lnent may be precipitated at any TIME.
At one point trenches are only 400
yards apart. They are separated by a
small stream, which is the only water
supply in the neighborhood. BY mu-
tual consent. there is no firing on the
water carriers, who visit the stream
with buckets.
Several positions have already
changed hands many times. 1t is
related that in one village which had
been taken and retaken by the same
men on both sides, Capt Polkanoff,
on being driven out one day, left a
note in the hut where he had passed
the night, saying he would like to
know the name of the japanese OFF,
GER who was IN the habit Of occupy
ing the hut in his absence. A little
later, Capt. Polkanom retook the viii
lage and. going through his old quar-
ters, found the following note in per-
feet Russian: Il am Capt. Yamata. l
would be greatly pleased to make
make Capt. Polkanoff's acquaintance"
To-day was unusually quiet along
the whole front. The Russians are in
the habit of harassing the Japanese
in the trenches at night. Last night
Russian scouts threw a hand grenade
into a Japanese trench near Sinchin-
pu, causing great confusion. The Rus
sian scouts also discovered that the
Japanese are moving many batteries
to the front, though as yet all have
been carefully masked.
