Investment ~ port Arthur.

Washington, March 3.-The landing
In force Of the Japanese at Liao-Tung
peninsula and the beginning Of the
land investment Of Port Arthur will
not begin for fortnight, according to
advices received here from what are
believed to be reliable sources. 1t was
expected that the attack upon the fort.
ress would take place Wednesday, but
these latter advices, without explain
ing the reason for the delay, show
there has been a change in the original
plans. Army officers here think that
the Japanese have decided that with
the railroad connecting Port Arthur
with the outside world cut, thus pre-
venting supplies from reaching the
place, two weeks privation will render
the final assault easier.

Mayor Kreig Resigned.

On Friday evening of last week
the Village Council was called to-
gether by President-of- the council,
Mr.. Ed. Tritsch, and he presented
to that body the resignation of
Mayor Krieg, the reasons assigned
were, ill health. The Council ac-
cepted the resignation, and elected
Mr.. Ed. Tritsch for the unexpired
term. He will serve until May
1905.
Ex-Mayor Krieg has been a great
sufferer for many years with par
tial paralysis, and of late his
nerves gave way and he has been
almost totally unable to attend to
the office. Feeling that he could
not give the town the personal at
tention that was expected, he
thought best to resign. He has
been an honest Mayor, meaning
well in every official act perform
cd. His Affections have rendered
him nervous wreck at times, and
he felt his incapacity to render the
official service due the town. We
are very sorry for the Affections of
Mr.. Krieg, and hope that he will
rapidly improve in health, now
that so much work and worry is
off his hands.
The new Mayor, Mr.. Ed. Tritsch,
is about S3 years old, and one of
Logan's native born. He is a
graduate Of our schools and highly
fitted for the position. He has
served as councilman some years,
and served most ably. We wish
him all the good luck in the world,
in his new position.

Why They Are Sent.

Some newspaper subscribers Of
ten wonder why publisher keeps
on sending the paper when the
subscription has expired. The
reason is this: When subscrip-
tion is paid to certain time and
the time expires, and the paper is
stopped, it looks as if the editor
doubted the integrity of the SUBJ
scrlber, and in nine cases out of
ten, the subscriber will give the
publisher calling for insinuating
that his credit is not good. Rather
than cast any reflection against a
nelghbor's honesty to pay a small
debt it has become customary for
country newspapers to continue
sending the paper after the time
has expired. The city weeklies
and dailies do not generally follow
this rule, as their subscribers are
at distance, and besides they are
not acquainted with them and do
not know their financial standing.
One should deem it an honor to
know that his credit is not doubted
when the publisher continues to
send the paper. Should the SUBJ
scriber desire to have his paper
discontinued he should inform the
publisher and remit to date, if any
amount is owing.-Exchange.

lively fight upon the Chapman bill,
providing for abolishment Of spring
elections, 1t was postponed until

claimed to have had 18 votes for II,
but three OF these votes were contin-
gent upon the adoption Of a constitu-

prior to the passage of the bill. The
judiciary committee had spent por-
ton OF the forenoon wrestling with

posed substitutes. They had reached
no conclusion. and being unable to re.
port, delay was determined upon to
give them further opportunity for COM
parison. The judiciary committee will
thresh the matter out completely be-
fore Thursday, and It is highly prob
able that the resolution which is re-
ported will be adopted before the bill
