REPORT OF SCHOOLS
County Superintendent Submits
One to the People.

Following is the report of the
county superintendent of schools for
the year:
Greeley, Colo, Sept. 10, 1904.
To the Honorable, the Board of
County Commissioners, Weld
County. Colorado.
Gentlemen: l respectfully submit
this report Of the schools and school
work of Weld county for the year
ending June 30, 1904.
In general, the schools have had a
prosperous year, less disturbed by
contagious diseases than during the
preceding one. They. have had to
meet problems of rapidly increasing
population and of an insufficient sup
ply of trained teachers, problems of
tinonce, problems also of distance
and of lack of appreciation on the
part of many who have most need of
their advantages; these they have
met and have solved as fully as cir
cumstances would permit and the
general move has been one of dis
tinct progress.
School Districts.
Two new districts have been
organized during the year and have
taken numbers vacated years ago
when counties to the east were cut
from Weld. No. 81, northeast of
Ault, was organized in time to hold
seven months school and complete a
fine building at the cost of 81. 900.
No 63. on the north side of the
Platte near Hardin, was organized in
March, 1904. and will be in shape to
hold school very soon. The total
number of districts now is 81.

The delegates to the republican
county convention Thursday were
slow in assembling and it was 1925
by the convention clock before II. f.
Churchill, chairman of the county
committee, raped with his gavel for
order
The first thing done was the read
ing of the call for the convention by
Secretary Abbott of the county COM
mittee.
The district court room, where the
convention was held was we'll filled
by this time and the reading of the
long call was received with some i'm
patience, and Judge Garrigues moved
that the reading of the most of it
be dispensed with. Then Chairman
Churchill began ringing republican
speech. in which he complimented
the delegates on their independence ;
that they were body whom no man
could control. They would we'll know,
he said, what they wanted to do and
how to do it. Referring to the re-
organization of the county committee
last spring, when he was made chair
man, he said that ne was here ready
to report that he had machine
that could elect next fall any
ticket the convention might NOM
mate today. You have,' he said,
1.-THE most perfect organization in
the history Of Weld county, He
said he had been charactered as a
boss and a candidate for the state sem
ate. but he wanted the convention to
know that whoever became that can
didate he would have the support of
the republican combination. Then
followed the nomination of John T..
Adams of Windsor by j. NJ. Davis.
Mr.. Adams is a new man in Weld
coupty and although young showed
himself perfectly competent to deliver
republican political speech. Speak
ing of the Peabody administration. he
said that he had lived in the mining
districts himself and he knew about
the military power of the state being
proStituted. He was ready to accept
any challenge on his position on the
military with the answer. Give me
the Colorado national guard every
time.
Tho Temporary Organization.
C. C. Townsend placed in nom
mated Charles Lofgren for temporary
secretary, and as assistants |. /. Sides
and Eugene Abbott.
Joseph f. Painter moved that the
chairman appoint committee of five
on credentials.
j. l.. Brush moved that COM
mittee on resolutions be appointed
with III. f. Churchill as chairman,
because he knew Churchill already
had some rough draft of the resolu-
tions prepared.
Fritz Wattenberg moved that a
committee of three on permanent Or
rouizaiton and order of business be
appointed.
d. f. Gray moved that COM
mittee of five on delegates to state,
congressional and judicial cohVeh-
tions be appointed.
A recess of ten minutes was then
taken to give the chairman time to

Dinner on the Groen,

None of the convention delegates
knew early this morning what nice
little picnic that their Uncle
Churchill had prepared for them in
the park under the trees, where
soothed by the cooling sreezes and
listening to the soft songs of the
birdlets and the chirping of the
squirrels they could forget that they
were being made use of for political
purposes, and eat deviled crab on
lettuce leaves. 1t was all there
though, and although the delegates
might not know just what was be-
hind all this, they knew that there
were vituals to be eaten, so they fell
to, with will to the number of $50,
for that was what Caterer Morgan S
order called for.
After the strenuous work and dis
cussions in the convention hall the
dinner on the green was voted the
most pleasant and original in the
history Of Weld county conventions.

$a.oo A YEAR
Finances,

With the cooperation of the
county treasurer an effort has been
made to keep the various school
boards fully informed regarding their
resources and obligations, with the
result that every district in the
county is in good standing at the
banks and their warrants taken on
deposit without question and with
out.discount. The action of your
honorable board in slightly raising
the general county school levy has
also been of great benefit to the dis
tricts as it more nearly equalizes the
burden between rich and poor than
when greater tax must be levied in
the individual districts. The per
capita apportionment of the general
funds for the year reached the sum of
S7.@ for each person of school age.
This is considerable gain, but still
below the requirements of the law.
The following is a summary of the
financial reports of all districts for
the year:

FIVE DAYS FIGHTING.
The Story of the Passage of the
 Yal=.

'Tolxio. May 1.-The story of the fSht- ing on the Yalu river has been given out here The Japanese began on Tuesday by driving the Russians from the islands in the river, above Wiju. During these movements the Russians opened fire on the Japanese with eight 9 1-2 centime guns and two Hot2hNiss guns. A company of Japanese artillery on the hill to the east of Wiju fired three volleys at Jusan and at noon of Tuesday the Russian batteries behind Chiu Tien Cheng shelled Wiiu with shraDnel.
 On Wednesday the Russians resumed d the bombardment of WijH, fighting at intervals throughout the day. Tie Japanese artillery did not respond to this fire. The Russians resumed the bombardment on Thursday, but it was generally ineffective. Subsequently General Kuroki ordered two Comoan- ies of the imperial guards 10 cross the Yalu and make a reconnaissance along the left bank of the Tho for the pur- pose of discovering the character of the Russian Notifications along the heights on the right bank of the river. The Russians shelled the recOnnoiter- ing party from an emplacement in the hills in the southeastern part of Yos- hoko. This fire was without effect.

BEANS BUT NO BREAD
A Bakers Strike in Boston and Ad-
 jacent Towns.

Boston. Mass, May IA strike of more than 1,4O0 bakers in this city, Cambridge and Chelsea, went into ef- feet tonight. Every bakery in the three cities is affected with the eXcep- ton of the Hebrew bakeries.
 The daily output of bread in Boston is from 3OO,OGO to $50, ,OOO leaves and the supply will be practically cut off. In all of the bakeries tonight the employ CTS are making an attempt to keep their shops in operation, but all admit ted that the outlook for a production of any size is poor. The proprietors of the bakeries banded together in the Mas ter Bakers association have refused absolutely to grant the demands of the men and have declared that in future they will operate "Open shops"
 The employees demands were embod- jed in a new working agreement, which provides for an increase in wages, union shops and the use of the union label on every leaf of bread. The strike of the bakers is not confined to Boston, Cambridge and Cheslea. Strikes were ordered today in districts center ing in Lynn, Salem and Brockton.

The First Japanese Army
 Crosses the YaIu
BATTLE OF FIVE DAYS
It Consisted of Series of Artillery Duels - The Casualties on Either Side Were Unimportant-The Rus sians Give up Position at Antuns.

TokiO, May l, : D. m.-After five dayt of fighting largely with artillery, tn first Japanese army under Gen Kurok , has forced the crossing of the Va river, and today. with a gallant infan. try charge, covering a frontage of fC
 miles, it drove the Russians from Chi Tien Chcng and the heights on the right bank of the Tho or Aida river. which enters the Yalu from the north almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese turned the left flank of the Russians to check their onward movement.
 The present position of the Japan ese is a dominating one and they may force an abandonment of the defenses occupied by Russians at AntunE ant other points lower down the river.
Arizona republican., 1904-05-02

rThe Russian artillery on the hill be- hind Chiu Tien Cheng, firing at a high angle. again opened on Wiju, Island of Kurito and Seikodo. to the south of Wiiu. where some Japanese batteries bad taken position. This firing con- tinued to Thursday night and General Kurito reports that while it was inef- fective. it disturbed his preparations for the attack. The Russians resumed the sheIling of Wiiu on Friday. but the Japanese guns did not reply.
 The twelfth division of the Japanese army was chosen to make the first crossing of the Yalu. It began on Fri day by driving the Russians from tEeir position on the bank of the river op- posite Suikochin. eight miles above Wiiu This division constructed pom toon bridges over the river and at 3 o'clock on Saturday morning began crossing. The entire division passed over the river during the day and by o'clock Saturday evening was n the position assigned to it for the battle on Sunday.
 At twenty minutes to II o'clock Sat Urday morning. the Russian artillery , posted to the north and east of Chiu Lien Cheng began smelling the patrols of the Japanese infantry dispatched to KintietO Island and Chukodal. another island north of Sintieto. The Japan ase batteries replied to the smelling and siIenced the Russian fire. Late" eight Russian guns posted on hill to the east of the village of Makao opened ED on the imperial guards. To this shelling the Japanese artillery to the east of Wiju responded and the Rus sians ceased firing.
 Then both the Chiu Lien Chang and 1 Nakao batteries re-oDened and this fire brought a vigorous response from th- ] chain of Japanese batteries on the ! Korean side of the river. The Russian guns fired for two hours before they were silerced.
 The bridge across the main stream of the Yalu just above Wiiu was com pleted at o'clock Saturday night and the' second Japanese division and the imperial guards immediately began crossing. They advanced and occu- pied the hills back of Kosan. facing the Russian position on the right bank of the river All through Saturday night | regiment after regiment of Japanese soldiers poured across the bridge and nr q late rour Saturday night General Kuroki telegraphed to the general staff of the army:
 "I will attack the enemy on May | at dawn
 i True to his promise General Kuro!l at daylight today centered his artillery on the Russian position between Chiu i Tien Cheng and Yoshoko. To this fir the Russians made a reply with al their batteries.
 At o'clock in the morning the Rus [ sian battery at YoshOko was silenceC and half an hour later General Kurok ! ordered his entire line stretching fol four miles, to attack. The Japanese infantry, at the word of command charged across the Tho. wading that stream breast deep and began storm ing the heights at S:15.
 At 9 o'clock they had swept the Rus 1 sian line back across the plateau.
