Every scheme Of decoration and archi-

Etlires of the Renaissance which have
impressed themselves on the art of to-
day, are found in the building.
On the ground floor, opening into the
tiled and marbled lobby, are dining

THE CASE OF DAVIS AND
DlNNIE IS TO BE HEARD

Minot, N. D., Sept. Io.-The case Of
Davis VS.. Dinnie and jacobson will be
argued before the state supreme court
at the Grand Forks term on Sept 20.
1t goes to the state court on an ap-
peal taken by the attorneys for the de-
fendant from the decision of Judge
Palda granting the plaintiffs motion
for new trial. Greenleaf & Leighton
appear for the plaintiff and George
Bangs of Grand Forks, and James
Johnson and E. l.. Sutton of this city
represent the defendant. The original
action was to recover judgment for
SIS GOO alleged damages. ~
About two years ago while trans
acting business in the old postoffice
room in the Jacobson block on Main
Street Davis was injured by cave in
| OF the roof, and as result of the ac-
cident he claims to have been permari-
fently disabled. 1t was at the time that
| the operahouse was beng remodeled
| and he charges that 4iIe contractor
overloaded the roof with building ma
Iterial, causing not only the collapse
of the roof but the floor upon which
Davis was standing, precipitating him
with the debris to the basement At
| the. spring term OF court this year the
action was tried and the jury returned
verdict for the defendants. Al motion
for new trial was argued by the at
| torneys for the plaintiff and was grant
| ed by Judge Palda. The defendants
are opposing the new trial in the SUI
tpreme court.

RUSSIAN ARMY is
NOW i'm FIVE COL UhlNS

London, Sept. TO-. The Daily Express
claims to have trustworthy information
that the Russian army is divided into
five columns. The first reported has
reached Tie Pass forty miles north of
Mukden) and is preparing to defend that
place against the japanese. The second
is midway between Mukden and Tie
Pass The third is at Mukden. The
fourth, consisting Of 10000 men under
General Meyendorff, is holding General
kuroki in check by hard fighting twelve
miles south of Mukden The fifth Of
about I2ooQ men, is further south, ex-
hausted by the ineessant fighting and is
surrounded on three sides by Japanese.
Its position is one of extreme danger,
from which it can hardly hope to es-
cape.
Everything now depends says the
paper, ''on Meyendorff's ability. to hold
kuroki in check, which thus far has
been successfully done"

LAUNC CHING OF THE MILWAUKEE,

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. Io.-The
protected cruiser Milwaukee was
launched today in the presence Of
thousands Of spectators, including a
distinguished delegation from the city
in whose honor the yesseT was named
and large number oi KnignIs Tenn
.plars from Wisconsin and other states
who have been in San Francisco this
week for their triennial conclaye.
Long before the hour appointed for
the launching the visitors crowded the
yards Of the Union Iron Works, the
adjoining house-tops and the hills.
Many took places of vantage hours be-
fore the vessel slid from the ways, and
they patiently waited until the ship
entered the brine. Even then they
were loath TO depart, many remaining
for hours to watch the giant hull as il
hoated at anchor in the bay.
The launching party was given a
place upon the large platform which
had been built around the PROV Of the
vessel. Miss Janet Mitchell Of Mil
waukee, to whom had been given the
honor of christening the cruiser, and
miss Lilly Jeffrey of this city, who
had been chosen to touch the button
that started the vessel OH the ways,
took position within few feet Of the
Ship Prov.
Brief addresses appropriate to tht
occasion were delivered in behalf of the
city Of Milwaukee, tl1e. city Of San
