MOVEMENT is DEVELOPING.
japanese Campaign Against Mukder
Begins to Be Pressing.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 24.-The Japa-.
aSaiIs. w are
rapidly developing. Kuropatkin an
nounce the Japanese army at Bentsia-
putze is beginning to advance north
ward. The outposts yesterday tried to
capture Kaoutuo Pass, commanding the
road to FushuE. The Russians are Of
fering a stubborn resistance which is
likely to retard decisive operations.
Kuropatkin has placed strong forces
astride the Mukden and Fushun roads
to Bentisputze. The Russians are also
holding all the passes of the Da range
eastward of B~entsiaputze.
Al dispatch from Hardin
that another Japanese regiment Is
moving further eastward, but it is re-
garded as impossible the Japanese will
move in any considerable force from
Dziantchtsn along the roads leading to
Mukden, Fushan and Sintsintin. Severe
lighting is probable before the Japa-
nese succeed in reaching the Hun river.
There is no further news from Port
Arthur, but anxiety as to the fate Of
its gallant defenders has been relieved
by foreign kilograms received here an
nouncing the Japanese have not cap
tured any important positions.

exciting elopement. which had it's ter

was procured.
But no one authorized to perform the
marriage ceremony could be found in
town, and the couple had to wait until
the next day before they were legally
declared man and wife.
The wait was an anxious one, as they
~momentarily expected the irate father
of the girl. who was violently opposed
to the match, to appear upon the scene
with his trusty double-barreled shot
gun, he having threatened TO fill the
hide OF the young man with buckshot IL

BIG LAND SALE.
Hot Springs Entertained Good sizet
Crougd-A Er,,;+ Exhihition.

Crossd-A Fruit Exhibition.
lit Springs, 8. D., Sept. 21.--The
laid sale which was advertised to take
place in Hot Springs this week was
fairly well attended, principally by
people from Black Hills towns, all
though a few hundred people from
Iowa and Nebraska took advantage OF
the cheap railroad rates to make a trip
to the Springs. Nearly SILT 00 worth OF
property was sold during the first few
hours OF the sale, but the attendance
was not large enough to warrant a con-
tinuance of the sale, and It was de-
clared OFF.
Al very attractive exhibition of farm
products Is being made in Hot Springs
this week by the farmers In his vicin-
ity. and some remarkable vegetables in
point OF size are to be seen, among
them being cabbages Weighing twenty
-four pounds: cucumbers, three pounds;
iheets twenty-three pounds, grown
without irrigation by C.. III. Duenner-
man on his ranch near there. There
were all kinds OF fruits, small and
large; pears that would make the Cali
ifornia fruit grower green with envy
and apples weighing a pound and a
quarter. grown on the Evans ranch
just -four miles from town. This dis
play OF fruits Is a great surprise to
the visitors here from distant states,
whose idea OF South Dakota consists of
a mental vision of barren hills and
praiTies covered with buffalo grass.
Almost everything in the line Of fruits
q been tried in this vicinity except
oranges and bananas, with great sue
cess, and the fruit farms this year are
a sight we'll worth seeing with their
STvrs 10 the ground with fruit.

TRAIN hEARLYWRECKED
Mishap to President Roosevelt's Train
Might Have Caused Serious
T.1,,hIa

Washington. Sept. "a. - President
Roosevelt and party arrived here over.
the Pennsylvania railroad from Oyster
Bay.
The presidents train was delayed
about thirty-six minutes by an acci-
dent to the rear drive wheel of the To-
connective as it entered the tunnel at
Baltimore. The engine was immedi-
ately detached and another procured to-
pull the train to Washington. The ac-
cident caused no damage to the train.
Fortunately the train was proceeding
at a very slow rate of speed when the.
accident occurred, or the result might
have been much more serious. The tire,
of the rear driver on the left sid Of
the engine broke and curled off. One
end of 1t protruoed upward and
damned through the boiler OF the en-
CINE, causing an almost immediate,
shutting off of the steam. The engi-
neer put on the air brakes and the
train stopped.
After some delay another engine was
attached to the train and 1t proceeded
to washington.
The cause of the tire breaking, ac-
cording to the railway officials, was
quite inexplainable. The engine, just
before leaving Philadelphia, had been
thoroughly tested. The president and
his party took h matter very coolly.
The accident is said to be the first
which has happened to a train on
which President Roosevelt has Travelled
during his administration.
The president was given a cordial
welcome home by a large crowd of peo-
pie as he came through the train shed
and walked out to the street where his
carriage was waiting. The crowd lined
both sides Of Sixth street for a long
time before the train arrived, and when
he made his appearance and stepped
rlto his carriage he was enthusiastical-
lv chaared
