Victor. Col, June S.-The Record,

and recognized as the official organ of
the Western Federation of Miners in
the Cripple Creek district, published a
lengthy editorial today urging the min

months ago as there is no possible hope
of winning.
Three more Victor city officials, Jus

who exploded the Internal machine in
Independence should be captured it is
doubtful whether any militia force
could protect him.

ATTITUDE OF WAR
THIS is WHAT is ASSUMED BY

out-spoken bellicose nature. The Daily
Mail editorially speaks OF war threat.
ening and gives in scare headlines,
"Ultimatum to Russia Expires This
Afternoon" etc. without going to
these lengths, nearly all the papers
are discussing the possibilities of war
should the war party In st. Peters
burg be able to influence the emperor
and government into a determination
to shield the officers of the Baltic
squadron. The unofficial explanation Of
Admiral Rojestvensky, telegraphed
from Vigo, is stigmatized by the
Morning Post and other papers as APP
parently that of lunatic, whose con.
tinuance in a position of responsible
ity is a menace to every vessel that
navigates the sea.
The Daily Telegraph, representing
the government view, says:
There is no doubt whatever of the
governments seriousness. No re-
sponsible ministers would order
fleet athwart the path of vessels of
foreign power without recognizing the
responsibility of such a grave step;
yet this Is what his majesty's govern.

GREAT CROP OF POTATOES.
Yield This Year Estimated at
8,774,245 Bushels.

OMAHA-The Union Pacific has
just issued an agricultural bulletin
dealing with the potato crop Of Ne
braska for 1904. The bulletin shows
that the average of Nebraskas potato
crop last year was 63,472 and the
yield 5523,767 bushels. The acreage
this year is estimated at 1852
The bulletin adds at will be seen
that mate al increase has taken
place in the acreage planted to pota-
toes. 1t would seem that Nebraska
can successfully engage in potato
raising for commercial reasons. When
one reflects that the total acreage
this year is about one-third the area
of the smallest county in the state it
is evident that potato raising is very
profitable. The western portions of the
state will produce potatoes in great
abundance If the climatic conditions
prevalent for the last four years con-
tinue."
An estimate by counties of the 1904
yield Is then given and the total yield
is estimated at S,774,245 bushels.

THE ARMY FRONT.
Along Which There Is Said TO BE
Sharp Fighting.


MUKDEN-Sharp fighting contin.
ues along the front. The Russians are
entrenching ground recently occupied
by them.
While no pitched battle has occurred
during the last few days, the two
armies are kept in touch with one an
other, holding the positions they oc-
cupied when the big battle ended.
There Is no evidence that the Russian
army will rush north as was the case
after the battle Of Lao Yang. In fact,
the Russians have another line of de.
lenses to fall back on in the event
that they are forced out of their pres
ent positions.
During the last few days there has
been frequent artillery fire, occasional
infantry attacks and daily clashes be-
tween outposts and scouts.
Unless the Japanese take the initia-
tive soon the Russians It Is expected,
will resume the offensive and en-
deavor to drive the Japanese back,
for the purpose Of insuring the safety
of their winter quarters. which I'M
doubleday will be north of Mukden
unless a southwark advance is sue
cessful.
Another big battle is expected short
ly, as the weather is already turning
cold. 1t will be impracticable for the
two armies to winter in their present
positions midway between Mukden and
Lao Yang.
Many incidents are coming to light
shown gthe bravery of the Russian
soldiers during their stubborn resist
snce to the Japanese advance and in
their attempts to drive the Japanese
back. The men fought night and day
without rest and afterwards worked
for hours carrying the wounded to the
hospitals. When the Russian troops
recaptured Lone Tree hill they retook
several guns and a quantity OF am
munition which the Japanese had pre-
viously captured. They also took sew
eral Japanese guns in addition.
At the conclusion of the fight the
hill was covered with the dead and
wounded of both armies. The Japanese
prisoners were treated by the Russians
with the greatest kindness. At one
hospital visited by the Associated
Press correspondent Japanese pri-
Yates were found in their officers
ward. The army hospital corps and
the Red Cross societies did splendid
work. The wounded were dressed and
forwarded to the hospitals with the
greatest expedition.
TIL Russian commissariat also was
admirably handled. Portable soup kit
chens were most useful, going under
fire to feed the men.

NEBRASKA SCHOOL LANDS.
There are Less Than Four Hundred
Acres Not Under Lease.

According to the records in the office
Of Land Commissioner Follmer, there
are at this time only 3S1.S8 acres of
school land not under lease in the
state out Of total of 100000 acres
This land can be leased by application
to the land commissioners Office. Dur
ing the last four years there has been
leased about $4,000 acres and about
10000 has been released. The enact
ment of the Kinkaid law and the ir-.
rigation work being carried on, has
made demand for school land and
this accounts for the numerous appli-,
cations received lately, the applica-
tions being more numerous than the.
land commissioners Office could sup
ply. The land is situated as follows:
Cherry county, sell swA 36-25-3S,
40 acres; Gage county, lots / and 8

AT MUKlEN
JAPANESE MAKE SUCCESSFUL
ATTACK ON RUSSIANS.
ARTILLERY DUEL ON THE LEFT
Firlnq Lasts All Night and All Day
and Spreads to the south-chlnese
Say Extensive Preparations Are
MAKING to Turn the Russian Right.

MUKDEN- Fighting began at 10
o'clock in the evening southeast OF
Mukden. The Japanese have advanced
10 the village of Jendagan, which
they are reported TO have captured
after fight lasting until morning.
There was. an artillery fight on the
night of October 26 on the north
shore of the Shakhe river, directly
south of Mukden. The cannonading,
which was heavy, was continued to-
day, the Russians attacking the Jap
anese unsuccessfully. The fighting, 1t
is believed. will continue up to the
walls of Mukden.
The artillery firing on the Russian
left, which began yesterday and last
ed during the night, has spread south.
The weather has again cleared up
and is much better for active opra-
tions. The days are warm and sunny,
but the nights are cold and some OF
the Russian troops, whose winter
overcoats have not arrived, are suf'
fering from the cold.
Suspicious movements of the Jap
anese have been observed west of the
railroad. The Chinese say positively
that the Japanese are preparing to
turn the Russian right or break
through vulnerable point of the
lines.
News has just been received here
that the Japanese assumed the Of
fensive on the east front and made
slight advance.
1t is rumored that the Japanese
have taken all the Russian positions
at Erdagou, between Hunsian and
Findapu, on the road from Mukden to
Bentsiaputze but the report has not
been confirmed and looks improbable.
There was reconnaissance in force
last night by the Russian western
flank and desultory firing continued
till o'clock a. IN. The Japanese were
along the whole line, but this does
not, on the contrary, preclude the pos
sibility Of an attack by them. 1t is
the general opinion here that serious
events will not develop for some days,
but judging by the hurried manner
In which the Chinese are settling
their money affairs in Mukden they
are Of different opinion.
The whole army is delighted with
the appointment of General Kuropat-
kin as commander-in-chief of the land
forces in the far east. The one idea
among the men is to advance. There
is every indication that when the next
fight comes it will be of desperate
character.

WAR AND ITS PROBLEMS.
Russian Reverses Due to Restriction
on Liberty.


on Liberty.
ST. PETERSBURG.-A remarkable
study of the war and it's problems by
NJ. Petrousskevitch, well-known
writer appears in the Pravo, a weekly
paper. and is attracting a good deal
of attention. M. Petrousskevitch bold
ly maintains that Russia's reverses are
due to the restrictions placed on the
liberties Of the nation, declaring that
whatever the outcome of the struggle
with Russia will win a victory for con-
stitutionalism. He adds:
THE war has glaringly revealed the
cause of the evil, and has shown the
hopeless condition to which a great
nation may be brought by the depriva-
ton of all freedom of thought, feel
ing and action. The bureaucracy, pos
sessing all the strings of irresponsible
power, keeps the people under a tute-
lage, which has never attained such
proportions, has never with such ar
bitrary methods flouted the law and
never mado the country feel it's power
so painfully as during the past few
years"
Such outspolen criticism would
never have been permitted under the
Won Plehve regime. The newspapers
which discuss the article have not a
word in defense of bureaucracy, but
they do not indorse the prospects of
a constitution, the Sviet pointing out
that Emperor Nicholas manifesto for.
mally declared his intention of uphold
ing autocracy and that Interior Minis
ter Sviatopolk-Misky is pledged to the
