French t%ranslators are to make an
other attempt to turn S~hakespeare's

the third attempt, will be undertaken
by Pierre Lott, a noted author. French
translations of the English poet since

successful, being either burlesques,

The Japanese began at dawn of the

Dakota Butter Goes West.

a neWs Item from Jamestown, n.
ID, says: The first car of butter
shipped from The Jamestown creamery
to the j.. b. Agen Co, at Seattle went
u today. Its value Was about Sc, 600
and the car contained about 500 tubs.
IT is expected that the creamery will
ship at least two cars a week during
the season which will mean a payment
to within a radius of seventy-
five miles of between 5000 and $4,000
q week. The butter is collected from
the smaller creameries, shipped into
this creamery, repacked and sent out to
the coast along with the surplus from
this creamery. There is a demand for
al the butter that can be made and
a good deal of it goes to the Klondike
trade. This is all new business, de-
Veloped within the last twelve months
and speaks we'll for the growth of the
butter making in this locality.

in the fall of the year, at the tine when
the seed corn should be gathered from
the field. Once knowing what to select
for seed. the winter care OF it is really
q simple matter. bearing in mind the
TACT that to insure a perfect germina-

OVER ONE HUNDRED WELLS.
County Has Abundance o.
the Remarkable Gushers.

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 31.-Edmunds
county is becoming of the best wa
tered counties in the state. thanks to
the artesian we'll system. Real estate
men of that county report that over
40 artesian wells are now in active op-
ieration there and that three to five a
week are being drilled. Some LOO foot
wells have been drilled in eighty-five
hours. Twenty or more farmers in the
county have made artificial ponds from
the surplus water from their wells, and
have locked the ponds with fish from
the government fisheries. Wild ducks
have nested along the banks of these
lakes or ponds in large numbers. and
that section of the state is fast becom-
ing a sportsman's paradise, due solely
to the artesian water supply and the
enterprise of the farmers.
The Aberdeen Goal company has let

while Japan sincerely hopes that

my government has felt that it was adj

event that the disarmament of the
Russian ship is delayed. The condi-
tons at Shanghai are peculiar because
of the international interests there and

JAPs LOST NO GUNS.
Story of Their Decentralization at Seaul.
inso Turns Out Incorrect.

London, Aug. 31-The London papers
this morning have numerous special
dispatches from the far east, most of
them dealing with the position at Port
Arthur: It is pointed out that the Jap
anese tactics are very similar to those
adopted by General Oyama in 1894, but
granting that the japanese have pene-
trated as far as reported, which Is con-
sidered doubtful, there are still formid-
able forts to be silenced before a gen.
eral assault is possible. interest is dis
played here In what Is considered the
precarious position of General Kuro-
patkin's force.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Youpangtse. dated August
81, Russian staff officers confess them
selves completely in the dark as to
the meaning of the Japanese move
ments, and that consequently they
have no definite plan. Ten days ago,
feeling that Lao Yang would be sur
rounded, General Kuropatkin began TO
draw his troops northward. Then upon
the Japanese retiring he brought them
back again, but continued his prepara-
no doubt, says the correspondent, that
the Russians are now completely at
the mercy Of the Japanese whenever
they choose to attack. The Lao Yang
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
in a dispatch dated August 2s says
tI4dl II odpdllGSG are puSnlnE on

where there is continued fighting. A
great quantity Of transports have been
sent north, leaving Lao Yang ready for
all e~ventualities.
The rumor that the japanese lost
guns At Sfaul1nsa the correspondent
says turns out to be incorrect. The
correspondent continues:
The Japanese are reported to he
adopting a new method Of night attack,
They concentrate searchlights on the
point attacked. thus preventing the
garrison from seeing anything."0
Special dispatches from Shanghai re-
port that there is a hitch regarding the
cruiser Askold and the destroyer

great interest to wheat growers, and
especially valuable at this time. The
bulletin describes the causes of the

to suggest a sure preventive for the
trouble. or to offer a cure for the rust,
Which is caused by a parasitic growth.
The bulletin states that the prevalence
of rust this year does not in any way
affect the probabilities next year: hat
the wheat crop may next year be af-
fected with the disease or may not,

lions at the critical period. Treatment

the reason hat the disease affects the

OF artillery from that election are
palmer than they We're yesterday. The
Chinese at Liza Yang are bringing out
women and children which they usually
do when expecting a Japanese advance.
The Russians had sustained a hot
artillery fight all day OF August &c in
the eastern front. but held all OF their
positions.
AT 5 o'clock in the evening the AS
sociated Press correspondent crossed
over to the left flank The understand
ing was that the Russians would con-
centrate heavily in the morning for an
attack of the Japanese in that direction
and his afternoon the surprise was
greater at the order to retire. The
explanation is given that the Tenth,
corps. especially General Herschel'
Mann's division on the extreme left,
was confronted by a greatly superior
force of Japanese. Though the Rus
slams fought bravely and held all their,
positions. they had lost an immense
number Of officers.
Movement Was Difficult.
Most probably the retirement from
the An Shan Shan position arose from,
the same reason that the whole noun
tain division. as we'll as the EASTERN
troops, retired, apparently not from the,
pressure of the japanese, but for STRAIT
egic reasons.
The rains had made a thick and bind.
ing mud which almost paralyZed
wagon transportation and made the,
movement of guns even more difficult.
Though the Japanese witnessed the
slow retirement of the eastern divis-
ion they made no attempt to follow the,
Russians, being apparently exhausted,
by the due of August "a and 25, and
the desperate and unsuccessful all day
attack of August &c.
Today the sound of cannonading is,
heard palmer in Lao Yang. 1t is
