the Herald of October 9Th:
"From now on until election dav the
campaign ia on proper and it behonves
every republican to be up and doing.
It ,s an almost certain fact that We will
elect our entire ticket but We must make
an effort to do 80 by large majority.
An aim will he made to el. ct the entire
ticket and no d st,nction will he made
between any candidates. Unlike the
democrats there will be no fight made
for I'VE three and no more" and the
remainder of the ticket he use for bait
only to elect these three. The entire
ticket will be elected ifeverv republican,
will support 1t. Don't look at some man
as drawback because you do not like
him personally for remember our views
are not always the same. Remember
when you vote for a democrat you are
endorsing the democratic platform +"
that extent which is not republicanism
Now I am a non-partisan and not
much of politician, but do consider
myself some what of a sport. 1t seems
to me that the editor of the Herald stole
his thunder, "We three" from "Old
Bill' and to make long story short, l
will bet from one to ten dollars on the
electinR of each and every one of the
democratic candidates from auditor t."

list Judge Palda's name. Now, mean
by this, that it is not 1--WE three" with
me, but I am betting the same amount
on each and every candidate. If any
republican sees good thing in this, he
can call at the Graphic Office and get his
money covered at once. We may also
take his choice for fnal stake holder Of

Then came the march past before
the new Wearers Of the St. Georges
cross. Kuropatlzin, who meanwhile
was standing behind the newly decor
ated men, smiled grimly, and, STEP
ping to the front, read personally the
announcement Of a forward move.
This was received with deafening
cheers as far as it was heard and un-
derstood, but quicker than printed
copies of the order could circulate, the
announcement ran from camp to camp
and from bivouac to bivouac, the men
acting like schoolboys on a vacation
when they learned what was in the
wind.
Japs Retire on Liao.yang.
A crossing Of the Taitse river east
Of Bensihu by Russian cavalry shows
that the Japanese are retiring on
their positions at Liao-yang and in
the nest of hills about Yentai, as
though they were still desiring de-
cisive action near Liao-yang. The
Japanese, after approaching the Hun
river, appear merely to hold Gen. Ku-
roki's late battle ground, where can
non firing upon the Russian cavalry
occurred during the morning and
afternoon of Oct. Z.
jap Fleet Is After British.
Chefu, Oct. 1.-THE increased &C
tivity of the Japanese fleet blockad-
ing Port Arthur in the stopping OF
merchantmen is due to lookout
which is being kept for three British
ships which, it is expected, intend to
enter Port Arthur with timed meats
and vegetables. The British steamer
Victoria was stopped near Wei Hal
Wei last evening and the above ex-
planation was made to her by the Jap.
anese boarding officer.
Japanese Are Not Idle.
Mukden, Oct. 11.-Chinese reports
of the Japanese movement state that
Lieut.. Gen. Fushimi, with two divis-
ions, is moving to flank the Russians.
His force is already on the Lao river
within twenty-five miles Of Sinmintin.
A simultaneous movement, 1t Is under.
stood, is being carried out by Gen.
Kuroki to the eastward, with the OBJ
tect of striking the railway and flank
ing the Russians of Mukden as was
one at Liao-yang, but the conditions
now are rather different.

ANY young man insNorth Dakota with
political aspirations would do we'll to
read the story of the state of Wisconsin
a. told in the October McClure's by
Lincoln Steffens. When we look at the
government of North Dakota today as
administered by three or four men
through the machinery known as the
republican party, reform appears hope
aess. A political career seems to present
. choice between defeat or submission
to the wishes of few dictators. The
list of those who, up to THE time. have
held an important political Office for
more an one term under the republi
can regime in this state. without sub
mitting to the small ring Of bosses, may
he counted on one hand. II indeed
there are any to be counted. In this
statement we do not include the judic-
iary, although the mark OF the beast Ito
speak scripturally) may be found there
also. The fight for honest representa-
tive government in North Dakota might
seem hopeless were it not for such
examples as La Toilette in Wisconsin
and Folk in Missouri. In fact, Wiscon-
sin conditions were more hopeless be.
cause of the large moneyed concerns
back of tho machine and the large num-
Der of gratis to be worked. Yet one
man has been big enough to combat
successfully an antagonlsm stronger
than North Dakota could muster.
Our state is still young and the ma.
chine evil is more potential for the fu-
ture than the present. The need OF
different political methods should be
recognized now and an honest admins
t1ation for and by the people should be
demanded before the rule of the bosses
becomes more securely fastened, and
before our moral susceptibiliti+s become
weakened by familiarity with the evils
of graft and bribery in government.
The sooner the tide Is stemmed the less
force will have to be exerted against it.
Ifany young man. mentally and morally
strong, is after q job rather than an i'm
mediate Office, surely the opportunity is
here and now in North Dakota politics.

Nesbitt Murderer
Will Hang

THE DALLES, Ore, July 21.-The
execution Of Norman Williams, which
is scheduled to take place here to-
morrow, will be the climax OF n of
the most sensational and unusual muir
der cases in the criminal annals of the
northwest. It will eliminate the re-
venge of a brother and a son for the
murder Of his sister and mother.
In the spring Of 1899 Williams and
Miss Nesbitt were engaged to be mar
ried in Omaha. Neb. Williams induc-
ed his fiance to go to Oregon and take
q homestead claim before they were
married. She came on to Oregon.
filed a claim and hired herself out as
q domestic. Later her mother, Mrs.
L. J. Nesbitt, Joined her in Portland,
where Miss Nesbitt had secured en-
ployment. The two women went to
Hood river valley to live on their
claim during the winter.
1t was on March 5, 1900, they left
Portland with Williams. 1t was dark
when they reached Hood river and a
storm was raging. Williams hired a
rig and in the face of the storm set
out for the homestead. Williams
drove them into a lonely road and
that was the last ever seen Of the
two women. The next morning Will.
Jams returned to Hood river with a
faded team. He said that he had put
the women aboard the morning train.
He was seen, however, to return to
Hood river two hours after the only
morning train had left.
The following June Williams filed
Alma Nesbitt's REIMBURSEMENT to her
claim. This was later discovered to
be a forgery. Then George Nesbitl
appeared on the scene. He believed
Williams had murdered his mother
and sister, and slowly, but surely, hi
set about bounding the man down ant
collecting the evidence that resulted
IN Williams conviction last May.
A peculiar part Of the case was tina
the body Of neither woman was fount
though portions Of a woman's scalp at
tached and several bloody pieces o
clothing were found in the neighbor
hood Of where the woman disappear

Kansas City
Stock Market
Special to The Optic:


Kansas City, July 20, 1904.
The receipts of cattle here today
$500 head, were Unexpectedly heavy
and far more than the trade required
and prices therefore rule from steady
in a few cases to as much as 25 cents
lower. The proportion of good stuff
was small and mostly sold around
steady. Bulk of receipts we're of only
fair to COMMON and were hard to sell.
The demand under present conditions
of the strike does not require over
$500 to 5000 cattle daily at the out
side. Shippers should keep in close
touch with their commission men and
consult them as to making ship
ments.
Dressed beef steers ranged from
$5.65 for some 1850 pound steers to
$4.75 with bulk $500 to $3.50. Good
cows, heifers and calves are about
steady, but Gamer cows are unsal-
able. There was quite a fair proper
tion of stockers and feeders in the
days receipts and as demand is
light, prices were from steady to 10
cents lower.
Hog receipts were $500 head, a good
run under ordinary conditions but too
many for the trade while the strike
is on. Some sales were only 5 cents
lower, but generally the market was
10 to Is cents lower. Top, $685., 10
cents under Saturday. Bulk $5,15 to
s5.25 and up to $500 for 200 pound
hogs.
Only 1000 sheep received, but pack.
ers do not want them while strike is
on and market was steady to
lower.

THE oRIENT's cLEANEsT PORT
Reputation Gained by the City of
Manila

According to the reports to the marine
hospital service there were no quaranrin-
able diseases reported in Manila for the
week ended July %. This report Is very
encouraging when it is considered that
quarantinable disease is present at nearly
all the nearby foreign ports. Manila is
gradually gaining the reputation of being
the cleanest port in the orient, and Justly
The board of health is making good prog
ress with it's plan of vaccinating the entire
population of the islands. The carrying out
OF this task has been greatly aided by the
passage OF an act by the commission which
provides that every resident, foreign or
otherwise, must be vaccinated upon the re-
quest of the board of health.
Great difficulty Is being experienced in
keeping the vaccine in potent condition
The constant high temperature which pre-
walls in the Islands renders the transporta-
tlon of vaccine in a cool condition a very
difficult problem. Small ice chests have
been constructed, and it is hoped that with
them the vaccine can be transported to
even the remote portions of the islands
without losing it's effectiveness. Yet when
it is considered that in many places only
trails exist and that the vaccinator as well
as the vaccine must be transported on the
backs of animals, the difficulty of CARRYING
out sanitary measures in the PHILIPPINES
will be better understood

Japan's Imports From America.
There are $40 items in the list of Japan's
imports from the United States. The larg-
est item is raw cotton. which last year
was valued at S1091O. 4S5, although that
does not include more than half of the
American cotton consumed by japanese
mills Her manufacturers bought as much
more in the Liverpool market. where 1t
was shipped from Galveston. New Or
leans, Savannah and Charleston and trans
shipped to Kobe and Osaka and Yoko-
hama Hereafter there is going to be a
decided change in the cotton trade. The
big cargo steamers of the Great Northern
railroad have been built especially for car
rying cotton to Japan, and James J. Hill
of the Great Northern railroad is reported
10 have contracts with the Manufacturers
Association at Osaka to deliver them so
many thousand bales annually Tor term
of wears He will buy the cotton at st.
louis and Memphis, haul it by rail to
Seattle and there load it upon his new big
steamers, which will bring back silk and
tea in return. .
Flour Is the second largest Item In the
list of Japanese imports from the United
States and II Is gaining rapidly as the
white bread habit grows among the Jap
anese people. l wrote you fully about that

The third important item is kerosene
oil. The Standard Oil Company has a line
