Popular Brak kefnafl
Killed at Nlinot

Eli sPixley, a Great Northern
brakeman, had both limbs sever
ed by being run over while
switching in the Minot yards
Saturday morning, and died Of
his injuries soon after the acci-
dent. No one knows how the.
accident happened, as ! nobody
saw him at the time, the con-
ductor hearing his call for help
when several car lengths away.
He was coupling at the time,
and il is probable that he step

adjust the coupling and missing
his footing, fell across the rail.
He formerly lived in this city,
and was known for his genial
good hunor and pleasant dis
position. He was to have been
married to a popular young lady
of this city, and to her his death
is indeed a sad blow. Al sister
also lived in this city. The re-
mains, accompanied by the rela-
'tives were taken through this
city Monday morning on the way
to his old home at Walcottville,

New Hotel
Being Discussed.

Prominent business men are
again agitating the question Of
building a modern hotel in the
business center Of the city. There
are several good locations, and.
it would seem that with the
present prosperous condition Of
business, and the future out
look for the city, itWould be a
paying proposition for the
owners to take hold Of. There
lis no question but that a modern
hotel could be Of great benefit
to the city and a much needed
improvement. The Inter Ocean
would suggest that a meeting
of the business men and other
persons interested in the ad-
+vancement of the city be called
at an early date, and a start
made this fall. The work could
be pushed 50 that the foundation
could be built this fall and the
building cofnple ted next summer.

B Bank Tapped
No Money! S cured.

m z
An attempt was made Thurs.
day night Of last week to rob the
Peoples bank of Iaakota. The
burglars effected an entrance.
a rear window BY cut
ting out the sash. By the use of
nitrog oglycerine, one half of the
outer door Of the safe was blown
off, but the noise aWaked the.
people in that vicinity, and the.
burglars were scared away be-
fore the money was secured.
The robbers held the crowd at
bay by the use of guns, and
finally made their escape. The
city marshal rang the fire bell
for help which also served as a.
warning to the robbers. The.
tools were procured from a local
blacksmith shop which was brok-
en- into. The work was done by
prof sionals. It is said five
persons were seen by people
who ATTEMPTED to arrest the
gang. They escaped to the open
prairie. and as the night was in
teIlseIy dark it was impossible
to follow them.

continued through the day. To-
wards evening Of this day Gen
eral Kuropatkin went on the
hottest part Of the firing line and
perso sonally directed the opera
tions. Taking command Of the
famous Petrof regiment, and
gallantly leading he ordered it to
charge. Frenzied by the daring
pf their leader, the troops rush
ed forward and drove the Japs
from their positions. But the
success was dearly bought, the
ground being covered with Rus
sian slain.
It is reported that Gar Nicho-
las ordered Kuropatkin to assume
the offensive, and it would seem
that the final test is being made.
between the two great armies.

Toxic. July 4-The Vladivostock
squadron eluded Vice Admiral Kami-
mura's squadron eastward of the ISL
and of Tsu Friday night in the dark
ness. A drizzling rain and fog favored
the Russian vessels.
The two squadrons met early in the
evening, the Russians being north of
Xxi island and the Japanese south of
Tsu island. They were 10 miles apart
The Russians bolted to the northeast
when they were discovered by Vice
Admiral Kamimura. The latter chased
them at full speed. The Japanese tor
pedo boats steamed ahead and entered
within the range of Russian guns. The
Russian vessels vigorously shelled the
Japanese torpedo boats. This firing
confirms the cannonading on Xxi island
and gave the impression that an en-
gagement was in progress.
Vice Admiral Kamimura was only
eight or nine miles in the rear, when
the Russian vessels extinguished their
lights and disappeared in the darkness.
At that time the Japanese torpedo
boats were pressing the Russians, who
had been using their searchlights. The
torpedo boats failed to get close
enough to the Russian boats to dis
charge torpedoes.
Japanese Lose Heavily.
Liaoyang, July 4.-The recent sue
cesses of the Russians at Dalin and in
Major General Mishtchenko's engage
ments with the Japanese have engen-
dered a much better feeling here. 1t
is reported that in the fighting of
June 26 and 81, the Japanese lost
5000 men, and that their losses in the
operations against Mishtchenko were
1900.
striking feature of the last en-
gagement at Dalin, as we'll as in the
fight with General Mishtchenko's force,
was that the Japanese tried the bayo-
net charge, to which they had not been
previously partial. Their lines went
to the charge with loud cries of "Aiyar,
aiyar," but almost to a man were
moved down by the Russian rifle.
} One of the Japanese prisoners cap
| tured by General Mishtchenko states
J that the provisions of the Japanese are
running out and that the troops are
badly fed. For TWO days prior to his
capture, the prisoner said, the Japan
csc had eaten nothing, and this state
ment is confirmed by Chinese. The
Japanese commissary is entirely sup
piled from Japan and consequently is
dependent upon sea communication
: and the effect of the loss of any boats
i in the recent storm is beginning to be
u severely felt.

The BEST HOLIDAY.

A FTER ALL, the best feature Of
Il Thanksgiving day is not the fact
that it gives everybody an opportunity
to he thankful for large or small bless
ings-for few OF you took advantage Of
your opportunity yesterday 1t is not
the excuse for a specially fine dinner.
which we hope ali Of you had and
heartily enjoyed yesterday. 1t Is the
fact that Thanksgiving day is The only
holiday of which the worker cannot be
deprived by the calendar. II always
comes on a working day and always,
therefore. adds day of rest and re-
creation to the workers week. unless
he works because he wants TO work.
Christmas, on occasion, comes on
Sunday. SO does the Fourth Of July.
and New Years day and Washington's
birthday and Decoration day But.
come to think about it. THANKSGIVING
day is not the only holiday that comes
on week day OF necessity. What. we
are asked. is the matter with Labor
day? True. Labor day always falls on
the finst Monday of September. But it
is the only exception.
Some of us, however. work on holt
days, 10 matter when they come. To
the average railroad man. MS far as
resting is concerned. Christmas is only
Dec. %. independence day looks like
amy other day, and the same thing is
true of an the rest OF the holidays with
which more fortunate people are
blessed And railroad men are not the
only workers VINO are deprived of holt
days. The street cars keep right on
running. as close to schedule as pos
sible, the newspapers must so to press.
the restaurants must remain open.
Did you think OF the workers yester-
day when you were enjoying your
Thanksgiving dinner in the serene
knowledge that YOU had plenty Of time
at your disposal? II you did you were
furnished with one more reason for
thankfUlness. thankfulness because
you were not employed on a steam or
street railway, a newspaper or in
roataurant. But perhaps those work
ers were able to worry out a reason
for thanksgiving also. Ii is hardly pos
sible that they were thankful because
they were able to work at all.

CABINET SERVICE.


7 HE ANNOUNCEMENT that John
L Hay Is to continue in the cabinet
as secretary of state for four years
more, making. il he lives, a continuous
service of nearly ten years and a half,
has started some of our historians to
studying. Nobody has held the state
portfolio for so long a period. Secre-
tary Hay was appointed in 1898 to sue
coed Judge Day, who resigned to take
Il place on the supreme bench.
Secretary Wilson OF the department
of agriculture bids fair to Guido, Sec
rotary Hay in point Of continuous serv-
ice. He was appointed for the first
time March .. 1897. President McKin-
ley reappointed him in 1901. and when
Mr.. Roosevelt succeeded to the presi-
dency. Mr. Wilson was continued in
office. II has been given out that Mr..
Wilson will be again appointed imme-
diately after President Roosevelt sue
ceeds himself. II he is. and if he serves
out his term, he viii have. been secre-
tary Of agriculture for twelve consecu-
tive years.
Since John Quincy Adams day no
man has occupied cabinet position
for more than eight years consecutive
~, and only very few have done as
well as that Prior to the John Quincy
Adams administrations Albert GaIlatin
was secretary of the treasury from 1901
10 1914. under Presidents Jefferson and
Madison. From 1915 to 1925 William II.
Crawford was secretary OF the treas
ury under Madison and Monroe. From
1877 TO 1929. under Monroe and John
Quincy Adams, William Writ was at
torney general. This about covers the
list of those who eervcd more than
eight years in cabinet positions.
The Roosevelt cabinet. or at least
some members Of it, are establishing
new records.

Only Few Have Had Whiskers-No
Baldheads Yet.

When Roosevelt is inaugurated on
March 4. 1905, he will be the second
president with a mustache. Cleveland
was the first.
Whatever the presidency Of this
country has done for the incumbeHts, it
has not been productive of boards.
The first four chief executives were
as clean-shaven as BeDedictine Griars.
J. @. Adams was the first TO break the
rule. but, he was not a ful-bearded
president. His facial growth Of hair
hardly came up 10 what are usually
termed side Whiskers. but they were "A
tribe more expansive than the Scotch
Presbyterian type.
When he retired, the beardless prssi-'
dent came in again with Jackson. but
his successor, Van Buren. brought to
the White House almost an exact pat-
tern Of the whiskers grown by J. Q.
Adam.
William Henry Harrison again aa5
the beardless face. The seven who
came after were clean-shaven.
When Mr. Lincoln was elected there
was not hair on his face, but before
be finished his first term he wore a
sparse beard. with ciean-shaVen upper
lip. One Of the authenticated stories is
that ne did this to please child.
Grant was the first president with
AutA bedFt his immediate successor.
Hayes, was the first to wear full. long
vhiskers. covering his shirt front. Gar
Held also wore "A fun beard. but il was
less lUxuriant than that of Hayes
Arthur, who was the most correct
dresser of all the presidents. was the
first i'm the list to grow the Burnside
type of whiskars.
Benjamin HarriSOns beard was full
/ with slight tendency TO curl at the
end, and was tinged with gray.
After Cleveland the clean-shaven
face returned with Mckinley The
mUstache came in Tor the second time
when Roosevelt succeeded.
Most of the presidents were boun{i-
fully supplied with hair on top of their
heads. The Two Adamses were the first
to show slight tendency to badness.
Van Buren, was bald on the forehead
Garfield was similarly marked.
Polk was the first and only president
who wore his hair in the ante belium
southern style. 1t was long and
reached back from the front. over his
ears. Buchanan was the first and only
one. 50 far 70 wear the top roach.
Cleveland in returning to his second
administration showed tendency to
badness. Mckinley was not noticeably
blessed with heavy growth.
But no baldheaded man, as the term
is understood. has yet been president
OF the United States.
