Niuchwang asserted that the Japanese,
instead OF having been defeated had
carried all the defenses up to the last
line and that $50 guns were now mount
ed on the heights and were pouring
shells into the Port Arthur fortresses.
II this latter dispatch IS true II would
indicate that the same tactics employed
by the generals against KurOpatkin are
being used In a smaller degree at the
Port. The outer fortresses were sur
rounded and attacked some weeks ago.
Continuing the line of attack and con-
stantly increasing IN number. the Japa-
nese have gradually closed in, until ac-
cording to Niuchwang reports there now
remains but the last line TO take.

Harvest Nears an End

y dispatch from Bliss, Okla. to a
Western exchange says.
Harvest is ending on the famous 101
ranch and already the first carload OF
new wheat has been received in Kansas
City. II came direct from the threshing
machines and was billed out of this
station on June p This year Miller
Bros, owners. of this ranch. have har-
vested about 5000 acres of wheat, the
greatest number Of acres Of wheat that
have been harvested in Oklahoma upon
any one farm.
The total number Of acres Of land
cultivated on the 1O1 ranch is something
more than 1900, with wheat as the
principal product. The entire ranch
including pastures, contains 1868 acres.
or this vast tract the Miller boys own
1900 acres. having purchased il from the
Indians of the Ponca tribe. The re-
mainder they have leased from the tribe
for yearly rental. Their wheat yielded
better this year than they expected
considering the adverse conditions OF the
winter and carly spring.
The average yield Of the 1900 acres
Will be about twenty bushels to the
acre. perhaps little less. Some varieties
will show as high as thirty-five bushels
to the acre. while some will run only
about ten. The White Wonder wheat
variety that was produced first by this
ranch. seems to be showing the Best
results.

BELTS THAT ARE MoDlsFi.
Popular Adjunct to the Up-to-Date
Costume fer the Winter
Season.

A great deal may be said about the
new belts. for they form SO essential a
part Of the costume that they must rot
be left out
In the beginning of the chapter upon
belts it must be stated, says the Brook
Ign Eagle, that they are divided into
several classes. No longer is a belt a
belt. It is sometimes a girdle. Again
it is a stomacher Again a belt is so
fashioned that it forms wide back,
making a position effect; and it is SO
cut that it is deep enough to dispense
with the shirt waist. With deep pos
tilion belt, and a handsome deep stock,
one can put On ones winter Elton coat
and be very presentable.
There is one pretty belt more in the
form Of a girdle, and made Of Liberty
satin. It is smooth and wide and is laid
in folds. It is very deep, coming almost
up under the arms. It is snug and it is
put together without visible fastening.
There is neither hook nor eye and there
is no buckle nor button Of any kind.
Such a girdle is pest made over
crinoline foundation. But you can do
very nicely by taking three yards of
Liberty satin ribbon four inches wide.
To make your girdIe, pin one end of the
ribbon in the front, fastening it secure
ly. Now begin and wind the ribbon
tightly around your waist, gradually
increasing the width of the girdIe.
Finally pin the loose end tightly and in
visibly with tiny pins
