Ut. PETERSBURG, Feb. 6.-The
scene Of the Russo-Japanese ne
gotiatious has shifted, and now
Russia waits for Japan. TO see how
her latest word is TO be received. As
each communication has passed be
tween the capitals of the cOntesting
powers, the situation has become more
tense, until il is now feared that di-
plomacy is making its last exchange
and that the questions at issue may so
to the arbitrament of sterner methods.
Russia tonight is kneely awake 10 the
possibilities of the situation and is
eagerly waiting the first intimation
which may give a clue to the temper
OF Japan. This means official, intelli
gent Russia on the banks of the Neva,
and TO a lesser extent in the larger
cities Beyond the confines of these
centers of population the calm cur
rent of mOnotonous life of the vast
empire has flowed on until now un-
disturbed. The multitude in the IN
terror. who in the end must do the
fighting If there is to be war on a
large scale, have not yet awakened TO
the impending danger. IL viii be only
when the emperor shall issue his mani
festo and his call to arms that they
VIII be aroused.
Russians VIII Rise,
The emperor. in the event of war,
may go to Moscow to submit his cause
and fate to the Almighty at the altar OF
the TrOitsko monastery, as his fathers
have done in the past before drawing
the sword; but, whether he does or not,
his manifesto. which viii be read in
all the churches OF the empire and
posted everywhere, viii rouse the pa
triOtism of his subjects.
In the hotels and restaurants Of St.
Petersburg the situation is being dis
cussed tonight with great seriousness.
The weather is bitterly cold and street
fires are burning. and the people are
asking il it is possible for hOstilities
TO begin at a season when the Their
mOneter registers 20 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit in North Manchuria.
They are specializing upon the horrors
that would characterize such a win
ter campaign. and wondering If the
story of the sufferings at Shipka pass
are to be repeated. The Russians are
confident, however. that if the worst
comes their hardy sOldiery can stand
the severe cold better than can their
adveTsaries.

trade OF the country. He is at present
filling a large order for a Nebraska
house, the brands being "The Babies"
and ''The Western Girl'' He has a
big trade with twin city jobbers, and
since locating in Princeton has
worked up a fine business between
here and the head of the lakes.
On Oct. 1st Mr.. Sugarman secured
the building formerly occupied by S.
NJ. Byers' clothing store where in ad-
dition to his cigar factory he opened
a large cigar and tobacco store. and
started to make a line Of smoking
tobacco, his principal brand being
princeton Clippings'' that are be-
coming popular with smokers. In a
single shipment this week he billed
out 637 pounds of clippings, and
while the U n O n man was at his store
Tuesday he was filling two large Or
ders for cigars for st. Paul and Min
neapolis jobbers.
II am very we'll satisfied with my
trade since coming to Princeton'' said
Mr.. Sugarman. cit has grown from
1000 cigars daily to 2, 200 per day and
is steadily increasing. Since I started
making smoking tobacco I have in
creased the output from 100 pounds
to 500 pounds weekly and am more
than satisfied with my trade.''
Mr.. Sugarman also manufactures
the celebrated ''Wheeling" and "Orig-
inal' stogies, and they are genuine
stogies. He lived many years in
Pittsburg and vicinity where the
stogie occupies a higher place il the
smokers realm than it does in the
west.
The Princeton factory employs ten
persons, many of the employees being
girls who find lucrative employment,
and have since the factory started up
been able to lay aside few dollars.
Every legitimate industry helps a
town, and Mr.. Sugarman's business
enterprise adds many hundreds of dol
lars to the trade of Princeton in a
years time. He is deserving of en-
couragement and support by all the
business interests of Princeton We

Sunday he tried to cut his throat

night, fearing he might again attempt
something desperate. :.
Toward morning he dosed off and
the young man got up and, clad in
nothing but a thin shirt, he slipped
out into the frosty air, with single.

pressed the muzzle against his fore.

found the top of his head was blown

A NEGRO COLONY.
NEGRO COLONY.
One TO be Started by Booker T. Washing.
ton Near Blackduck, Mimi.

~ w NO o'"r'ou ny booker Il. WaSh1ng
ton Near Blackduck, Minn.
A correspondent at Blackduck saws:
Booker 7. Washington, president of
Tuskagee institute and leader of the
colored race in America, will in the
near future establish colony for
southern nergoes in Blackduck town
ship. It is said on good authority
that an agent for Mr.. Washington has
been here for some time and that he
has already secured options on most
OF the lands in the township and will
soon close deal whereby the great
educator will become owner of them.
1.-The negroes, who will be trans
ported directly from the south, will
be housed in comfortable cabins, and
will each receive an allotment of land
sufficient to farm at profit.
"Mr. Washington's reason for es-
tablishing the colony is. it is said, on
account of the superior educational
advantages the north has to offer.
The negroes in the south are heavily
handicapped and but few of them can
attend school.
The people of Blackduck resent
the possible intrusion of the colored
immigrants, and if the deal goes
through, there may be trouble in Bel
trami county before the strangers are
allowed to settle. y

December Weather.

According to Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the
St. Louis weather man, storms may
be expected on the first three days of
December. By the first of the month
we'll defined change to falling ba-
rOmeter, warmer weather and areas of
rain will be advancing from western
extremes. During the second and
third these storms will make their
transit eastward over the country.
Change to colder, with rain turning
to snow and sleet, will follow these
disturbances, with a high barometer
and northwesterly gales. Freezing
weather will prevail generally for
few days after these storms. Change
to much warmer will be noted in the
west by the sixth. The barometer
will begin falling in all western Sec
tions early in the period, and from
about the sixth to the 10th general
rains will move eastward over the
country and in the west and north
west these rains will turn into snow
and sleet, with strong probabilities
of a December blizzard. If the
weather should be warm and bright
as we enter this period, especially if
the barometer is at very low read
ing, there will be almost certain dan
ger of severe winter storms to follow.
No one should be thrown off his
guard by open weather, or by any de-
lay of storm developments. While
electrical storms are probable at the
first, look for sudden and sweeping
change to much colder, covering
everything with ice and sleet, and
bringing cold wave out of the
northwest. A change to warmer and
more decided storms of rain 'and
snow, may be counted on from the
18th to 18th, and billiards may be ex-
perienced at this time. From about
the 10Th to 22nd storms of rain will
spread over the country eastward,
while in all western and northern
parts of the country, snow and sleet
will follow the rains. The culmina-
ton of these storms will fall on and
touching the 22nd, about which date
the storms will assume the character
OF billiards in many parts of the
country. A rapid rise of the barome-
ter and high cold gales from the north
west will bring up the rear of these
storms, sending a December cold
wave into most parts OF the country
by Christmas day.

A DOUBLE CONTEST.
The Doubled. Barreled Piano Contest
is Now on With Hot Race
for the Instruments.
Catholics Lead in Wesley Contest
and Mrs. Oswald King in the
Storey & Clark.

The two piano contests are now we'll
launched, and the announcement of
the first ballot in the Storey & Clark
piano contest has given the double
barreled or double-headed contest a
start for an exciting finish.
The result of this weeks balloting
in the Wesley piano contest shows
that the Catholics have added a few
thousand votes while Mrs. Marks
vote has been increased few thou
sand. The Methodists seem to be
standing pat, but the SIMEON of bal
lots last week that swept the Catholics
out of all sound and hearing of their
contestants has had a dull, thud effect
on the also rams. Still the end is not
yet. There are heavy orders for
coupons coming in to the printer that
make counting machine tired, and
who can tell the final story of the con-
test. 1t is not settled, with two long
months ahead.
