less grape, and, while rumors of success have appeared from time to time during the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp- son seedless varieties have during the past year established their reputation among the viticulturists. The Japanese plum, without a stone, is also reported 8 reality, although the seeds have not been obviated Cherries without stones are promised in the immediate future. Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have been perfected by an Indiana woman, be- ing grown from the stock of the tomato, which is replanted when it is at its full height. Watermelons of the same freak nature are also rumored from Georgia, but not much credence Is placed in this report, though if tomatoes have been perfected there is no essential reason why similar success should not be at tained with the watermelon.

TIE CONQUERING JAP
Port Arthur's First Line of
 Defense Occupied.
FORESHADOWS FALL OF FORTRESS
A Japanese Division Has Captured Kwangtung Heights That Doni- nate the Far Eastern Gibraltar.
 Russian S0rtie Beaten Back.

LONDON, June 4. A Tokyo dis patch says:
 "The Japanese have occupied the first line of the outer fortifications of Port Arthur afterSa feeble resistance.
 "Four divisions of Japanese troops have occupied Kwangtung heights, on which they have placed heavy artil- lery dominating Port Arthur.
 .'The Russian garrison attempted a sortie, but was forced to return, being threatened by the Japanese feet"
 General Stoessel from Port Arthur reports to St Petersburg as follows:
 After fierce battle tlasting two days I ordered our positions at Kin chau to be evacuated at night, as we had opposed to us at least three divi- sions of the Japanese army, with 120 guns
 '.The enerny's fire, particularly that from, four gunboats and six torpedo boats, completely annihilated our bat teries mounted at Kinchau. The Fifth regiment, which was posted on this spot, stood their ground heroically. Their fire as well as that of our batter les and the gunboat Bobr off Khou- noueza inflicted enormous losses on the | Japanese
 sOur losses amounted to 30 officers and 800 men killed or wounded. We blew up or damaged all our guns which we had to leave except those that the Japanese had put out of ac- ton.
 Ut would have been inexpedient to bring up siege artillery during the fierce fighting.
 | '.The battle began at a. m. and last ed until 8 p. m., when I ordered the position evacuated gradually. The ex- plosion of number of our mines and ! fougades was rendered impossible be- cause the Japanese turned our position with a rush. The Japanese advanced pluckily through water up to their waists under the protection, of their ships.
 "The spirit of our troops is excel. lent''
 A dispatch from Tokyo says that Field Marshal Yainagata has been ap- pointed commander in chief of all the forces in the field. He is expected to proceed to the Liautong district short ly.
 It appears that the Russian relief col umn of 30.000 men mobilized for the succor of Port Arthur has abandoned its project owing to the fall of Kin chau and the landing of Japanese re. achievements

DENEEN NOMINATED
Deadlock at Springfield Con-
 vention Is Broken.
YATES, HANLIN, SHERMAN WITHDRAW
Seventy-nine Ballots Cast Before Charles s. Deneen Was Named as
 Nominee For Gov
 erMOr of Illinois.

:. f SPRINGFIELD, H., June 4. - By making a combination with Charles s. Deneen, L. Y. Sherman, Rowland J. Hamlin and John H. Pierce Governor Yates has broken the deadlock in the Republican state convention and brought about the nomination of De- neen for governor. The nomination was made on the seventy-ninth ballot, which stood: Yates, 1; Lowden, 52251a; Deneen, 9571a; Warner, 21.
 The combination was the result of series of conferences which were par ticipated in by Yates, Deneen, Ham, lin, Sherman and Pierce. The agree ment had not been consummated when the convention met, and the Yates and Deneen people forced a recess. Then the parties to the combination met and finally agreed upon Deneen as the can didate. When the convention recon vened Yates, Hamlin and Sherman withdrew their names from the consid- eration of the delegates and urged their friends to vote for Deneen.
 When the seventy-ninth roll call was ordered and Adams county led off with "One vote for Yates and nineteen for Deneen" the widest excitement pre- vailed. As the call proceeded 1t be- came evident that the new combination in Illinois politics would win, but the original Lowden men for the most part remained firm and went to defeat with him. When the call was complet- ed Lowden moved to make the nomi- nation unanimous, and Chairman Can non declared the motion carried. All of the pent up enthusiasm of the dele gates manifested itself as Deneen came to the platform and briefly thanked the convention for the honor. Tn response to the demands of the as semblage Colonel Lowden made an ad- dress pledging his support to the tick ct.
 The convention now took up the nomination of a candidate for lieuten- ant governor, but the leaders of the new combination were not prepared for this, and recess was taken. In the meantime the parties to the combi- nation which had nominated Deneen met at the executive mansion and pre- pared slate for the remainder of the ticket.

gentlemen, II you do not pay me

the matter to you. They do not
mind scarecrow in the least. Now,
the game laws say deer cannot be

suppose man has got to let his crop
be destroyed in front Of his eyes and
cannot do anything about it? Now
I have nothing to feed my hogs.

PRIMARY RYSCH0OLM0NEY
L'Anse township Looses Its
Second Apportionment, Made
November 1Oth-The Total
Loss to the Township
Is About 81, 10000.

The semi-annual apportionment OIL
primary school money was made by
the state superintendent OF public
instruction November 10th. The
amount apportioned throughout the
state was $1,895, ,49l.50, the appor-
tionment being made at the rate oi
$2.55 per capita.
Every township in Baraga county
is included in the list, with the excep-
tion OF L'Anse township, which is
barred out of its apportionment in
the present allotment, as well as the
one made last May, owing to the fact
that the school census was not re-
ceived by the superintendent OF
public instruction at Lansing. from
the secretary Of the L'Anse school
board last year.
The two apportionments incur a
loss to L'Anse township of about
81 10000, which is indeed a severe
and unnecessary loss.
The statement had been made
many times that L'Anse township
would receive its apportionment
this fall. but the following Official
figures from the superintendent of
public instruction at Lansing proves
to the contrary.
