gle TO beat back the oncoming
hordes.
Thd firna1 assault of the Japan.
ese, In which they at last succeeded
in taken possession, was marked
by themost desperate hand-to-hand
conflict that has thus far character
lied the war.
The japanese left, throughout
the entire action until night, was
exposed to the enflading FIRE from
the Russian Infantry, gunboat in
Talien Wan Bay and four nine-cen-
timeter guns posted at Tefang
Cheng.
At critical msment the ammu-
milton of the srtillery ran low and
it was decided to cast the remain
ing ammunition into one final des-
perate assault.
fortunately, however, at the mo-
ment this decision was reached the
Japanese squadron in Kincou Bay,
which had ceased bombardipg when
the infantry first moved forward,
suddenly resumed the shelling of
Nan Shan Hill. Then 1t was that
the issues of the day were determin-
ed-At moment when the out
come was futtering between success
and defeat for Japan-an that mo-
ment was an almost certain repulse
converted into victory so successful
that the forces of the czar were
swept into confusion and disorderly
retreat.
With every Japanese gun center.
ing its fire upon the Nan Shan forts
and trenches the Nippon infantry
eprang over the bodies of the dead
comrades who had sacrificed their
lives in the previous fruitless charg-
es. the entire line rushed forward
toward the Russian left, where the
fire of the Japanese squadron had
proved most deadly and which was
the first to weaken under the death
dealing bcmbardment. And it was
there that the first breech was
made in the human stone wall that
all day had been an invincible
barriers to the impetuous assaults
Of the Brown men.
1t was the fourth division Of the
Osaka men that stormed the Rus
sian left. 1t had once been said
that Osaka men were not brave.
1t will never be said again.
The first division of Toxic, which
had the center, and the third divi-
sion of Nagoya, occupying the left,
and which had been exposed all
day to the Russian fire against the
front flank, now followed the ex-
amble of the Osaka men, rushed
forward, and the battle became
transformed from an artillery duel
into one of personal conflict, with
the bayonet as the instrument of
warfare.
On every Parapet the resis,less,
death-defying Japanese surged for
ward in increasing numbers and
hustling ihe Russians from their en-
trenchments, swept over the hill.
And at 7:30 o'clock, as the sun was
sinking beneath the horizon, the
flag Of the land of the rising sun
fioatted above the blood-sodden Nan
Shan Hill, while the shouts of
'Banzai" swelled from hilltop to
shore and re-echoed from squadron
to fort.

Washington, May 2s.-Reports
received here from the Far East
dwell at LENGTH upon the terrific
power of the Japanese Shimose
powder, the nature of which is an
absolute secret, it is not used to
propel the shot, but for bursting
charges of the army and navy ex-
plosive she'll. The result of the
explosion has astounded the United
States Army observers. The heav-
lest armor piercing shell, with it's
small cavity, is rent into countless
thousands of sharp fragments,
which are hurled through the air
with such force that they tear
through the sides of an iron ship
as would projectile from ma
chine gun. The Russian warships
Variag and Korietz were found to
be riddled, deck and sides. by frag-
ments of these shells. 1t is not
known that any other nation pos-
sesses such terrific explosive.

FORTUNE SWIPES US AGAIN
"BiIIy" Verify Goes and Gets Married
Without Consulting Us.

Just as we thought G. ]. Gunderson
of Alexandria, had safely passed all
danger and was securely landed in
the realm of bachelorhood, and we
were depending on his making our
children his heirs Cupid caught him
off his guard and shot him plumb
through the gizzard he went and got
married.
Then we pinned our faith to Verify.
For years he has been invincible to
managing mammas and invulnerable
to the smiles of captivating maidens
and in Fancy's unfettered realm we
saw our offspring fairly revelling in
/ the wealth he would bequeath them;
wealth that he had accumulated in the
newspaper business, when he meets
a charming widow and the stuff is off.
That is the kind of luck we have had
lately.
William E. Verify, editor of the
Wadena Tribune, and one of the best
known politicians and newspaper men
of the state, and Mrs. ]. F. Fletcher
of Cleveland, Ohio, were married at
Troy, N. Y, Nov. %, by the Rev. E.
E. Emos.
Smothering our disappointment
aforesaid we join with his host of
newspaper and political friends in
wishing him and his bride all the Joy
and happiness that is the heritage of
mOrtals.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
A Strong Public Document Weak.
ened Somewhat by Stretching.

President Roosevelt occupied four
teen pages of close print in his
message ostensibly delivered to
congress but really. to the people.
Had he condensed Tito column and
a half the American people would
have committed it to memory, now
not one in a thousand will read it in
it's entirety. Public men are slow to
learn that prolixity and volubility
weaken strong statements. A public
message is like a rubber band, the
more you stretch it the thinner it gets.
Stripped of unnecessary veribage and
fanciful phraseology the President
says:
That the public money is the
peoples money and that congress
should neither be parsimonious or
extravaganza in it's expenditure.
That labor unions are all right as
long as they do right.
That the government should deal
with men and not organizations.
That brave man on land is en-
titled to as much honor as brave
man on the water.
That government employees, es-
pecially Rural Free Delivery carriers,
should keep out of politics But they
wont, ED
That one national congress can do
better job handling corporations
than the legislatures of forty-five
different states.
That the life of a railroad employe
is worth saving.
That the yBurcau. ~ Corporations
intends to build, not destroy.
That great insurance companies are
not above the law.
That the Nations capital city should
be made model for every city in the
nation.
That if a man ticks his wife an
officer of the law ought to lick him.
That the place for kids is in school
and not in factories.
That it is a husbands duty to earn
bread and the wife's duty to stay at
home and bake it.
That agriculture is the real base OF
the nations wealth and when we raise
thing at home we don't have to buy
it in some other country.
That it is profitable for the govern
ment to take desert land worth nothing
and make it worth something by
irrigation.
That forest reserves that reserve the
forests are good thing.
That the Indian Bureau ought to
run the indian affairs.
That it is not the function of the
government printing Office to print
picture books for congressman.
That our money is good now and
should be kept good.
That the proper way for the United
States to have perpetual peace is to
keep our army and navy in such shape
that we can whip the stutfing out of
any old country in the world.
That he will give congress some
chin music on the subject of the tariff
later on.
The message is a strong compre-
hensive document but of its strongest
and most salient points are concealed
under a cloak of verbosity as the
knotty muscles of prize fighter are
hidden under the voluminous folds of
bath robe when he enters the ring.
If this is Les Majeste make the
most of it.

YOUNG MAN BROWNS
Conrad knudson Aged Ten Whose
Parents Reside at Detroit Loses
His Life While Skating
Across Lake at That
Place.

The Detroit Record of the End inst,
has the following to say of the I'M
fortunate happening:
Conrad Knudson, the ten-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Knudson,
met with death in the middle of the
lake south of town last Saturday even
ing at about six O'Clock. He, with
his younger brother, and his cousin,
Anton Knudson, aged thirteen years,
were crossing the lake, the latter two
walking and keeping near shore.
While the former was starting off onto
the lake he was warned by his older
companions that the ice was not safe
but with the spirit of the average boy
he proceeded and had just reached
the middle of the lake when he struck
an air hole and was instantly sub
merged. His companions lost no
time in informing his father of what
had happened but fully twenty
minutes had elapsed before Mr..
Knudson arrived on the scene with
some boards and a garden rake, by
which means the body was recovered
from the water, about five feet deep.
Vigorous efforts were Immediately
made to revive him but all proved
Ruthless. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and
was attended by the unfortunate boys
schoolmates as we'll as a large num-
Der of relatives. The bereaved parents
have the sincere sympathy of their
many friends.
