STATEMENTS
CONTRADICTED
In the Japanese Manifesto Korean
Neutrality Violated.
(By Associated Press J

st. Petersburg, March u. The
Russian government has prepared
reply to the recent statement of the
Japanese government in reference to
the alleged violation of the interna-
tional law by the japanese. The re-
ply contradicts many statements in
the japanese manifesto, and declares
the landing of troops In Korea and
the Jananese attack at Chemulpo as
violations of the Korean neutrality.
st. Petersburg, March 12.-Admiral
Makaroff is the hero of the hour for
his daring movement at Port Arthur.
1t is expected he will take the ag-
gressive with the feet. He does not
like the heavy armored battleships.
He wants swift cruisers.
Port Arthur. March 12.-The Rus
sian squadron proceeded to the sea
yesterday morning and returned in
the afternoon. No japanese ships
were sighted. During the recent
bombardment number of Japanese
shells burst in the streets, but the
damage to the building was compara-
lively slight The shell burst near
the house of M. Sidarski and killed
him and his daughter and injured
Mrs. Sidarski and girl. The latter
died in the hospital. One Chinaman
was killed and several wounded. One
officer and three soldiers were also
wounded. 80

May Increase
Jurisdiction

Among the things done by the
county commissioners at their
meeting Monday, was the grant
ing of the petition extensively
signed throughout the county for
increasing the jurisdiction Of the
county judge. 1t will be well
for the voters to know what
change, especially in the cost,
this will make, should it be rati-
fled by the voters. Under the
law the salary of the county.
Judge, without this increased
jurisdiction, would be ST, 400.
Formerly it has been but 81, 900,
but when the property valuation
of the county exceeds four and a
half million dollars and is not
above seven million, the salary
lis 81, 400. Ramsey county this
year having a property valuation
of 81, 603,243, the salary would
be increased from 81 900 as at
present, to 81, 600. The salary Of
the county judge under the in
creased jurisdiction would be
ST., 900, a difference of only 5000.
and, as was well remarked by
one Of the largest tax payers in
the county a few days ago, this
would be more than saved in the
boarding of prisoners who are
held for trial and who must wait
until the sitting Of the district
court. ItWould seem that there
will be no increase in the expen-
SEES under the change, while the
saving to litigants would be
enormous.

A Pioneer
Has Retired

J. Fl. Smith, the Crary mer-
chant prince, was in town We'd
nesday. To the Inter-Ocean re-
preventative he stated that he.
had sold his immense mercantile
business at Crary to McCracker
& McC ullough, and that he will.
retire from the mercantile BUSH

his large store room and will
continue the business. Mr..
Smith will continue to look after
his immense farming interests
he being the owner of about rs
quarters and will also retain
his position Of president of the
First National bank of Crazy.
but will otherwise retire from
business. Mr.. Smith is one Of
the pioneers Of the county, hav-
ing conducted a lumber yard in
this city nearly twenty years ago.
He was the pioneer merchant
of Crazy, conducting a store ia
the old Pitt property, in a room
about 15x25. He was always
ready to assist the people and his
customers became so numerous
that he moved into more commo-
dious quarters where he remain
ed until the erection Of his fine
brick business block about three
years ago. He has amassed a
fortune not far from the $500, 600
mark. practically all Of which he
has made in Ramsey county IN
the last twenty years. He was
| an interchangeable worker, no
clerk in his employ coming ear
lier or staying later at business
than he did. Hehas an interest

and one daughter, Miss Eva, and

George Meiklejohn, the bononza
farmer of Ramsey county, is as
busy as a man can be who has
1000 acres of grain to thrash.
Mr.. Meiklejohn had 1,40O acres
of wheat and has thrashed 700
acres of it, the yield ranging from
20 to IS bushels. He is shipping
his wheat to Minneapolis and
Duluth.
He thrashed two grain tanks of
his oats for feed, and on good
authority it is said that what he
thrashed yielded about Is bushels
to the acre. He has over 200 acres
of oats. His 200 acres of barley
and oats also look fine.
Of fax he has nearly 300 acres
and expects to get a good yield
from the same.
Mr.. Meiklejohn has new
threshing outfit, a Case engine and
Minneapolis separator. For the
few days he found it necessary to
burn coal, as the straw was toe
immature and would not burn
satisfactory, but at the present
time no such difficulty is exper.
fenced. The rig is handling the
wheat product Of over IS acres pei
day. It would be doing better
except for the heavy straw.
Mr.. Meiklejohn plowed the
largest share of the land that is in
crop last fall and the best returns
are from the fall blowing. he
intends to use his engine to heir
out in the fall blowing, as soon as
threshing is over. He believes
that in a little over two weeks Of
good weather he can finish thresh.

attention to stock, other than hor.

nearly sixty working. He con.

large scale, but that does not in
