Temporary Work Done Because of
Irrigation Projects.
Connell, Wash, Aug 1.-THE La
Crosse branch of the .. r. & N. rail
road was completed to Cornell Satur-

reau begins work on the ditch. This
statement is authorized by the railroad
company.

Great Slaughter of Japanese in A,

Great Slaughter of Japanese in AS.
saults at Port Arthur.
Chefoo, Aug. 2O.-Details of the
Port Arthur fighting show that the
earlier stories of attacks before the
fortress were not exaggerated, and that
the Japanese, true. to their earlier
methods of absolutely disregarding
human life to accomplish their pur-
pose, have been carrying all of the
outer positions by assault.
That the whole Territory surround
ing Port Arthur has been heavily min
ed is known to the Japanese command.
ers, but they have not let this inter-
fere with their operations. As re-
suit of this the disaster during Mon
days assault on the outer post is cited
The japanese had been pressing their
advantage until it seemed that a gen.
eral assault might be successful in the
capture OF important outer positions.
Mines Wipe Out Hundreds.
A charge was ordered, but as the
troops moved across the intervening
space a series of mines were exploded
directly in their path. Fully half a
division of infantry, two squadrons of
cavalry and a battery of horse artillery
were overwhelmed. More than half
the entire force was killed outright.
At the same time the Russians deliver
ed heavy bonn bardment which for a
time checked the Japanese advance.
Under cover of the night, however,
the Japanese moved forward and final
ly occupied the coveted position. Chi
nese report that the japanese are now
driving cattle across the mined road
ways in an attempt to explode the bur-
led mines and clear the way for final
charge. The bomardment of the Rus
sian position continues increasingly.

DECLINES TERMS
GENERAL. STOESSEL REFUSES TO
SURRENDER.
News Comes From Tokyo and Re-
port Is Fully Credited AT St.
Petersburg--Refu gees Still Bring
News of Serious Conditions at
Port Arthur.

Tokyo, Aug. lS.-It is reported that
the Port Arthur garrison has refused
to surrender and is dlsinclined to send
out noncOmb atants.
London, Aug 1S-According to the
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
at Chefoo, refugees arriving there
bring news of serious condition of
affairs at Port Arthur They say that
Japanese shells have ignited lighters in
the docks which contained supplies of
coal, resulting in terrific confagra-
ton. Many of the buildings have been
demolished and the hospitals are
crowded.
The Tokyo correspondent of the
Times says that the capture of Wolf
Hills, near Port Arthur, entailed the
most arduous operations. The assault
began on July 26 and the japanese
carried the position on July 81, were
driven out by the Russian reserves,
which had been prepared for these
emergencies. During the night of July
% the Japanese assaulting force was
greatly increaed, enabling it to attack
from three directions, and ON July 2S
the position was finally carried The
Russians abandoned two Maxim guns
and one NOrdenfeldt. BY the evening
of July 30 all the outer works were in
possession of the Japanese, who began
to mount siege guns.

Dislike Commando Yield.

st. Petersburg, Aug. lS.-The an
nouncement of the Mikado's offer to
allow noncombatants to leave Port
Arthur, coupled with the demand for
the surrender of the garrison, caused
revulsion of feeling here. The orig
inal report that noncom batants would
be permitted to depart before the
storming operations began was regard
ed as a humane and considerable act.
The war Office is without official in
formation of the summons served on
Gen. Stoessel, but not the slightest
idea exists in military circles that he
will yield, so long as food and ammu-
milton hold out, without "a fight, even
to protect defellseless women and other
noncombatants from the horrors of
Ombardment.
"Gen. Stoessel, as an important
commander, would have perfect
right under the Russian military reg
ulations to surrender at discretion"
said member of the general staff to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, "but it may safely be assumed
that man of Stoessel's temperament
will not create a new precedent in
Russian history. Our military annals
do not show single case where a
commander yielded fortress upon de-
mand of the enemy in order to avoid a
fight. Sebastopol was taken by storm"

The court matters at Columbus
are taking on some features that
will take time and large amount
of guessing before final decision
and judgement are rendered says
the Scammon Journal. The matter
of legality enters largely in the con-
tentions of the affairs and those in
terested are not to be satisfied short
of decision of the highest court of
the state. Beginning with the ap-
peal of those convicted 81 violating
the prohibitory law there will be
other and important points resting
on this issue that will have far
reaching effect on affairs general in
the county. AT least some very in
teresting points are being raised
and until settled by the supreme
court will be the subject for large
amount of discussion out of which
will grow more strife and suits at
law. Acting on the advice of the
county attorney the commissioners
will most likely refuse to pay the
court expenses for the December
term Of court at Columbus, the rea.
son being 1t was an illegal term.
This idea grows out of the continu.
ing of court from the October to the
December term, carrying with il
the grand jury and number of
suits, in fact. the entire mass of Oc-
tober court business over the No

theory the county attorney is adj

by the county commissioners there
is nothing to do but wait for a de-

PASS THIS ALONG.

ken heart at his home, 2519 Univer-
sity street, st. Louis. The doctors
say that he can live but few weeks
at the longest.
The Elliott case is one of the most
pathetic in the history of St. Louis.
George Elliott is the father of the
beautiful Ethel Elliott.
A charming young girl, she
worked as stenographer for large
manufacturing firm and was, ap-
parently, happy as the day was
long.
But the stage.struck germ was
working into her soul and she
longed to be an actress.
And so, one Saturday in February
last, she drew her wages and dis
appeared.
The story of the search for Ethel
Elliott would fill a good sized vol
ume.
The father has spent fortune on
the pursuit of his 17.year-old girl.
Detectives in all parts of the
country have worked night and day
on clues that led only to the sea of
disappointment.
Loving relatives have searched,
high and low, in the great cities
and at times have been very near to
the missing girl, but she has al
ways eluded them.
From Chicago, across the country
to New York the chase has gone.
Touched by an editorial, "A Light
in the Window" Ethel Elliott wrote
a note that revealed the fact that
she was then, under the name of
Estelle Wilson, a member of the
atrical company playing in New
York City.
But when on the receipt of the
note, friends were hurriedly dis
patched to the address given in the
letter, they found that she had left
the house the day before, and that,
once again, all trace of her was lost.
Ethel Elliott is somewhere.
Her father is at home dying of a
broken heart.
And in the window of the family
home, every night, little light is
left burning to let Ethel know that,
whatever may have occurred, she is
welcome HOuc.
But she fails TO come.
Her fathers one hope now is to
see his dear little daughter before
he dies.
Will kind-hearted editors all over
the country pass this editorial
along by making mention of the
facts here related.
Perhaps if Ethel Elliott reads
that her father is dying she will re-
turn home.
And perhaps George Elliott will
be able to kiss his little daughter,
once again, before he passes over
the river
