made by the attorneys for Governor
Peabody asking that the election com.

fact that II II is granted similar mo.

lung mountain and Kekwan mountain,
and the latest attack was designed to
further increase the power OF these
positions,
A detachment of the Eleventh divis-
ion began the attack during the after
noon of November "a, following sever
al days bombardment, rushing
against the trenches guarding the ap'
proach 20 the southeast fort of the
Kekwan mountain group, the Japan
ese artillery meanwhile throwing all
the metal possible against the Rih'
lung and Antungz mountains and
forts
The possession Of the trenches was
stubbornly contested. After five
hours Of fighting and several repulses
the Japanese drove out the Russians
and destroyed their trenches, and
succeeded In entrenching themselves
behind sandbags, which their infantry
carried. At II at night the Russians
made sortie which the Japanese say
they repulsed after two hours fight
Ing. Another line of trenches more
formidable than those destroyed, hes
between the Japanese and the forts.
Japanese at Port Dalny believe the
attack became general, as the men re-
turned from the front, while not hav.
ing seen the fighting, reported that
heavy small arm and machine gun
fire was almost constant at various
parts OF the line TIL November "a,
when the last advices reached Port
Dalny.
Making Progress.
LONDON, Nov. 3o.--According to q
Toxic dispatch to the Standard there
Is an unofficial rumor that the jap
anese have taken large calibre guns
to the top Of 203 metre hill. whence
their fire has the sweep of the whole
harbor. 1y
This report doubtless goes beyond
the facts but various dispatches In.
dicate the progress the Japanese are
making in the reduction OF Port Ar
thur. The Japanese here explain the
great Importance of the capture OF
| 203 meter hill which, besides giving
command OF the harbor, will serve az
a wide breach made by the wedge
: the Japanese had previously driven
in between the Etze group and the
Russians last retreat in the ravines
Of the Laoti mountain. They declare
that the retreat to Laotl will be ct.
fectually cut off, and that Il Ia not
likely that Laoti vii be simultaneous
!. fy attacked in the final assault.
| Benne, Burleigh wires to the daily
Telegraph from Che Foo that In the
last assault the Japanese lost 400 men
in one hours fighting They claim to
have captured two more Of the north
eastern forts and third which Is a
part of the west Kekwan fort. They
claim. Mr.. Burleigh adds. to have ef
lfected a Judgement at Pigeon bay
thus turning the fort on 203 metre
lhill, and that they are now tunnelllne
from the gorge below Laatie hill
which they hope first to damage and
then to rush. The dispatch con
tinues:
Desperate fighting is proceeding
daily and the losses are admitted Il
be excessive but the Japanese insis
that Port Arthur must fall within

WANT LIEUTENANT
OF POLICE OUSTED.
MIDWAY PEOPLE ACCUSE BUDY
OF ABETTING BLIND PIGS.
They Ask the st. Paul Police Conn
mission to Remove Officer, Who,
They Say, for Seven Years Has De-
liberately Refused to Abate the
Nuisance.

Papers were filed to-day with the

station, Midway district.
The complaint is signed by f.. w.
Boswell, N. A. Robertson, George S.
Innis, William T. Rich, John W.
Fryckberg, David Morgan, F. E.
Moore, H. A. Campbell and Charles
Cram, but the signers declare that
more than 1900 residents of the Mid
way district make the complaint.
The grounds on which the dismiss
sal is requested are set forth in the
complaint in the following language:
more than seven years last past, the said
lieutenant has been grossly incompetent
and negligent In the performance of his
duties as lieutenant Of police.
That he has permitted more than twelve
persons to engage in the criminal occupa-
ton of keeping blindpigs within the
boundaries of his district.
That during all this time he has beer
doing nothing of his own motion to APP
prehend these criminals or the owners
of the property where the common nui'
sances were maintained. n IL
That during all this time said nuisances
were maintained openly, impudently an6
VIGOROUSLY, to the guilty knowledge Of
said defendant, and such nuisances were
matter of common repute, scant%l anC
acknowledged turnout his district. anc
the keepers thereof could have been ap.
pretended by his order and direction anc
it is solely owing to his gross negligence
misconduct and breach Of duty that the
same was not done and the nuisance sup.
pressed.

STATE HAS
A POOR EXHIBIT
WILLIAM FURST TELLS OF MIN
NESOTA DISPLAY AT EXPO.
Minneapolis Lawyer Says slovenly
Attendant Is Sole Custodian of the
Wretchedly Equipped Show Build
ing of the North Star State.

William Furst, the lawyer, who lives
at l4O2 Spruce place, has just returned
from ST. Louis, and, like other re-
turned pilgrims, brings the report that
the Minnesota exhibits in all depart
ments are decidedly not a credit to
the state: His remarks were emphatic
and to the point.
IF $4,000 were spent for the Min
nesota exhibits said Mr.. F'urst, "then
1t certainly was the most idle expen-
dlture ever perpetrated. / was visit
ing Well-known lawyer Of ST. Louis,
and had spoken Of the good work
Minnesota was accomplishing along
all lines Of work. But after we had
visited each exhibit in turn, we found
not one worthy Of praise.
Perhaps we could not hope to
equal the Missouri building or the
Ohio or New York buildings, but one
would think that we could line up
with such new states as Utah or Ari-
iona. No, indeed, there was not a
state building that did not have us
dashed to the mast.
In the Minnesota building there
were absolutely no suitable accom-
| modations planned for the visitors
even the necessities were lacking.
There was but one rug on the floor,
and that was of hemp. The other
states had magnificent floors and en-
frances. Our building opened almost
directly into some apartments for the
workmen around the building. In no
other state building were the attend
ants rooms on the first floor, and II
also happened there was but one at
tendant in the Minnesota building, and
he was a negro Of unspeakable dirti-
ness and insolence. He did not ap-
! pear to have any distinguishing badge
There was no attendant for ladies, and
| the retiring rooms had no distinguish
ing signs. There was no postoffice
| connected with the building, and the
register was exceedingly unsatisfac-
tory. For the forestry exhibit we pre-.
scented to the public a few scraggly
pines and a few leaves.
Finally, I will say that some OF
the private corporations Of the state
! had far better attractions

HAZARDS CASE
TO BE APPEALED
FATHER-IN-LAW READY TO FUR
NISH FUNDS.
Prison Life Said to Be Exceedingly
Irksome to the Dashing West Point
err Who Lost Thirty Pounds in the
Shoe Shop-Wife Has Visited Him.

Samuel G. Hazard, the dashing mill
ltary man who Is now doing time" at
saltwater for having too many wives,
is anything but satisfied with his pres
ent boarding place and arrangements
are now believed to have been per-
fected for an appeal to the supreme
court. State Senator Fitchpatrick of
Nevada, Iowa, the father Of the young
woman Hazard deserted for DR.. Bur
field, is understood to have agreed to
furnish the money.
The accomplished young man is
again firmly established in the affec-
ton of Viva sFitchpatrick Hazard and
she is doing everything in her power
to secure a release from his two-year
sentence. Her father has been, up to
the present time, unwilling to furnish
the sinews of legal war, but it is now
said that the opportunities Of the
young wife have won. Viva has Wis
tied her Sam at least once since his
incarceration in the state institution.
Since donning prison garb March Is
the debonnair bigamist has lost 80
pounds in weight and the confinement
has told on his spirit as we'll as body,
altho he is still entertaining and will
not give up hope Of release. At first
he was put to work making shoes and
anyone acquainted with the military
Beau Brummel would hardly have
recognized him in the short-haired
all day in the shoe shop. The worst
part of it all for Sam was that he was
not allowed to talk and that is said
by his friends to have had something
to do with his loss Of weight.
Recently the prison authorities
moved Hazard into the shipping de-
partment and now his work is easier
and he is allowed much more freedom.
He has made friends in prison as he
has outside and he will be given all
! the liberties possible.
The versatility and literary ability OF
the young man has been discovered
and he now is in demand as prison
entertainer. Last week he delivered
an Grafton at meeting of the prison
Chatauqua society, Of which he has
been elected vice president. He Is
leader in the choir.

To ADVERTISE AUGSBURG
FREE CHURCH CONFERENCE
WANTS FACULTY AND OTHERS
TO SEEK STUDENTS-PLAN
FOR INCREASING REVENUE.

Believing that the people Of the
state are not sufficiently informed of
the advantages offered by the Augs-
burg seminary, and that therefore the
institution is not accomplishing all
that Is possible, the Lutheran Free
Church conference, in session in this
city, to-day adopted a resolution rec
ommending that the professors Of the
seminary be asked to travel through
the state during the vacations and ex-
plain the work Of the school to inter-
ested citizens.
many parents, now unfamiliar with
the institutions will be willing to send
their children there. The conference
expressed the hope that all members
Of the church, especially the minis
ters, keep the seminary constantly in
mind and never lose an opportunity
to tell others about it.
It is to be explained that the no
ton that the seminary confines its
work to those intending to enter the
ministry is a mistaken one, and that
while that is the primary object Of
the school, many Of the alumni have
entered other professions, and all are
welcome as pupils.
Pastors from different parts hav.
ing reported that they believed many
congregations would be willing tc
