The Russian troops at Port Arthur, il.
reported to be wounded in the leg.
A special from Chefu says that the
loom of Port Arthur is beyond ques-
lion. Its fall is simply awaiting the
convenience of the Japanese army.
The information, the reliability of
which cannot be questioned, has been

Of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main forts whenever they are

This will end Viceroy Alexeieff's

The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and the highest point Of

whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back sw%hepeyer they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east

A Chefu dispatch says that the Jap.

COWBOYS IN PURSUIT
Slayers of Cody Banker May
Be Lynched.
FAMOUS SCOUT TAKES UP THE TRAIL
Troops From Fort Washable VIII

Bandits Said TO BE
Impossible.

CODY, Wyo., Nov. Accompanied
by several well known New Workers
and the younger men in his party of
English guests and with Chief Iron
Tail as Il guide, Colonel Cody and his
cowboys took the trail of the bandits
who murdered the bank cashier here.
The posse has surrounded the rob
bers in the mountains south of Nee
teetse. The outlaws have concealed
themselves among the rocks and refuse
to surrender. Their escape is consid-
cred impossible. The reward for theil
capture has been increased to $4,000.
If the slayers escape this time it is
Hole in the Wall country. Of which
every inch is known to the famous
scout.
The forest is guarded by the posse
which followed the outlaws from Co
dy, and it is hoped that the despera-
probably be lynched.
Preparations are being made by the
military authorities at Fort Washable
to have the two troops of the Tenth
cavalry stationed there to take the
field at Il moments notice in pursuit
of the outlaws. The bandits are within
a few miles of the boundary of the
Wind River reservation, and if they
succeed i'll eluding their pursuers they
will cross over into the Indian reserva.
ton on to government land. In this
event the colored troopers from this
post will join in the man hunt.

THE MAN WHO PAYS RENT.

Nt+NNNYttt tH -7 -
Al small item in yesterdays Even
ing News is Of more than ordinary
Significance 1t stated that property
owners in different parts of the city
are raising their rents on an average
Of 81. 80 to q house. One large firm
of real estate ownsrs, particularly, is
making this increase and it is ad-
mitted that the increase in the tax
bills this year is the cause.
Special attention is called TO this
fact because the statement is so often
made that only property owners
should BIO allowed to decide about
-blic Improvement because they are
the ones to nay for 1t. If there is an
agitation for better and cleaner streets,
an up.to-date fire department, an en-
larged police department, or any other
municipal improvement which will
cost money, it is frequently said that
only property owners who should
be heard, it is for they have to
foot the bill. Frequently this argu-
ment Ia accepted by city officials and
municipal leaders. They turn q deaf
ear to the man who only pays rent on
the ground that he has no taxes to
pay, they wait for tine landlords to
speak.
The fact that many rents will be
rnisedrnext month in this city because
The tax rate is higher, proves this issa
mistake. l. clearly demonstrates
that the man who "merely pays
rent should be as readily heard and
his remarks should have as much
weight as the property owner, for, in
nine cases out of ten, the landlord
loses little by ian increase in taxes.
He simply tacks a dollar or two On
fhe.rent and tho man who owns no
property is, to a great extent, really
the one who pays for all the city i'm.
provements.
OF course there are exceptions.
Some landlords do not do this, they
are few, however. Then, again,
there Is the man who simply owns the
house he lives in. He has no tenant
whose rent he can increase, yet he
must pay his additional tax.
The fact remains hat it is "tho
man behind" who bears the brunt of,
no matter what. Therefore. Mr.. City
Official, when q mar "who merely
pays rent Ncomes to you aud urges
this or that, do not ignore him on the
ground that he is not a property owner
and should have no say because he
does not have to pay the cost. Re-
member that as the taxes do up and
The cost of municipal government in
ereases, rents go up correspondingly

Who has to pony up.
