The new arc light in the north part of town is in.

all residents should use the electric light.

of macaroni wheat that will yield 20 bushels strong. It

ed Wednesday at the meeting of the

ALLEGED MURDERER OF SHERIFF
HAROLD HARRIS OF wiscoN-
SIN APPREHENDED.
MAN APPEARS TO BE INSANE
LONG CHASE SEEMS TO HAVE UN'
HINGED THE MIND OF THE
HUNTED BANDIT.

st. Paul, Oct. 6.-John Smith, who Is
wanted for murder in two states. and
on whose head a bounty of $1,000 has
been placed, has been captured, after
having been hunted by dogs and men
for three months, driving him to
desperation and insanity.
At least so says Sheriff T. A. Walby
of st. Croix county, Wis, in whose
county the murder of Sheriff Harold
0. Harris, for which Smith is wanted.
occurred. According to Sheriff Wal
by Smith was captured last Thursday
near Barronette, Wis, and has been
in close confinement ever since, but for
various reasons the information was
suppressed, until a chance remark adj
dressed by Governor Van SAINT to
Sheriff Walby at the capitol Wednes-
day, where Walby had gone to secure
a reouisition for another prisoner, re-
vealed the capture.
The man now under arrest who an
swers the description Of the wanted
man in every particular, was appre-
hended last Thursday lea Baronette.
Barron county, Wis, by Sheriff John
M. R~aasbach, with the assistance Of a
deputy. The sheriff and his deputy
while out hunting were travelling
along a road through a dense wood
near Barronette in a two seated wa
gon, when they were suddenly halted
by a wild-eyed man clad In tattered
garments and carrying a rifle with
which he commanded them to halt.
They did so, and after alighting at the
command of the man, their weapons
were taken from them. ~
II know you," said the a You're
the sheriff, and you're looking for me.
You've found me, now what are you
going to do about it." The man was
Smith.
After considerable parlying the out
law was convinced that the men were
not officers and he was induced to take
a seat in the wagon, when he was over
powered and handcuffed. He tried to
kill the sheriff, but the bullet went
wide of the mark. Smith appears to
be insane.
Smith says his assumed name is
Fred Kelly, his right name being John
Gearey, and says he was born at
Alberton. Prince Edward Island. He
is wanted for the murder of Sheriff
Harold o. Harris of st. Croix county
Wis, on a train near Eau Claire or
June 1S. last.

JAPs MADE BRAVE ATTACK.
But They Were Unable to Capture
Port Arthur.

Port Arthur.
London, Oct. 6.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Chefoo correspondent says that
on Sept. 24-25 the Japanese made re-
peated and recklessly. brave attempts
to capture High hill at Port Arthur.
Owing to the destruction of earth
works their advance was completely
unprotected and under the rays OF the
searchlight the Russian machine guns
swept them down in masses.
"More troops, however, came on
with fanatical bravery" the CORE
spondent adds, "leaping over the
bodies of their dead comrades. Then
the Russians, emboldened by their
success, SORTED. The Japanese re-
piled with machine guns. 1t was the
first time the Japanese had been able
to entice the Russians from their
shelters and they worked terrible
havoc among them.
"'The scene next morning was ap-
palling. The hillside was strewn with
Russian and Japanese bodies, some OF
them gripped with CHASTITY realism.
Boulders were trickling with blood.
"a brief message was received to
day. 1t is on torn paper, In Chinese,
and signed General Stoessel. 1t states
| that all had been quiet since Septem'
Der rs, and that the Japanese again
had asked for and were refused q
truce to bury their dead.
"An official Japanese statement ad
mits the repulse and %confesses the
necessity of a resort to a passive
siege.
"Enteric fever has broken out in the
garrison at Port Arthur"

LIGHTNING HITS AN OIL TANK.
Spectacular and Costly Fire Occurs at
Findlay, O..

Findlay, O.. Oct. 6.-The plant Of
the National Refining company was
completely destroyed by fire early
Wednesday entailing a loss OF upwards
of 5000, 900. The fire was started
through lightning striking q 10000
barrel tank. which at b Tune was
about two-thirds full. When the tank
exploded thousands Of barrels of burn
ing oil were spread over the surround
ing territory. Spectators who had
gathered turned and fled wildly from
the oncoming sea of fire. A number
of persons were burned. but none Ia
tally. The efforts of the fire depart
ment to suppress the flames e un-
ayailing and for a time 1t iooked as II
the west part of the town was doomed.
A sudden shift of the wind, however,
saved surrounding property and the
flames were confined to the National
lant.

ALEXIEFF IN FAVOR
vlcERoY WILL RETURN TO RUS
STA TO BE CHIEF ADVISER
TO THE CAR.

st. Petersburg, Oct. GA great deal
of uncertainty exists concerning mo-
mentous changes with which the
tongues of everybody have been busy
in st. Petersburg ever since the formal
announcement of the formation OF a
second Manchurian army. The delay
in the announcement of a commander
in-chief of the M~anchurian armies,
which has been daily expected, is o
said to be due to Emperor Nicholas
intention to wait until Viceroy Alex
Jeff shall have started for st. Peters
burg. The viceroy's return in a sery
short time is everywhere taken for
granted and receives credence In the
highest circles; but concerning the
exact status he will occupy there is
great divergence of opinion. In the
best informed quarters the belief is
expressed that Alexief's return does
not mean his effacement, but that on
the contrary the emperor will lake oc-
casion to bestow upon him unmistab-
able marks of his royal favor. His
friends assert that he will become the
emperor's advisor not only on Tar
Eastern affairs, but on all questions
of foreign policy.
Count LamsdOrhs administrator OF
Russian foreign affairs was the subject
Of persistent criticism by a certain
( party, called the war party, before the
| war. and his recent successful Efforts
to secure concessions in the matter OF
the recognition of the rights of neutral
commerce were obtained against some
| obstinately hostile and powerful In
| huences. Consequently Count Lams'
dorf's enemies freely predict that
Alexieff will control the foreign office
actually, II not nominally. Count
Lamsdorn's friends, however, treat
these reports as inventions OF his III
wishers. Nevertheless the return TO
St. Petersburg of M. Bezobrazof, who
was secretary Of the far Eastern com
mittee before the war, simultaneously
with Alexieff's return, may be fraugh'
with great significance and may Q
shadow the complete return to imperia
favor of the influences in control be
fore the war. AS a matter OF fact
however, those usually best informed
admit that they are at sea as to VIVA
is actually impending, and in the ab
sence Of real authoritative informa
ton much of this talk may be merel!
irresponsible gossip.
