EXECUTIVE BOARD OF BUTCHER
WoRkMEN DECIDES NOT TO
RESUME WORK..

Chicago, Aug. 31.-The national ex-
ecutive board of the Butcher Work
men, at meeting during the morning,
voted not to call off the strike, but in
stead the struggle is to be continued
until the strikers are accorded an
honorable adjustment" according to
a statement issued by President DON

After careful investigation of all
points," he said, I'VE find our mem

maintenance of the principle involved
as they were at the inception of the
strike. Hence we believe in voting to
continue the strike until we are &C.
corded an honorable adjustment we
are voicing the sentiments of our con-
stituents."
About 200 union workmen and wo.
men returned to the stock yards dur
ing the morning and were given work.
The packers do not regard this, how
ever, as break iE the ranks of the
strikers and the labor leaders say that
the condition is normal, the number
having returned and others deserted
each day for some tine.

JAPs IN CLOSE PURSUIT
RETIREMENT OF RUSSIAN EAST.
ERN DIVISIONS A Diff.
CULT TASK.

Liaoyang, Aug. 31.-Through Aug.
q and % the Russian eastern divi-
sions continued to fall back in good
order on Liaoyang, but the movement
was slow on account of bad roads and
the difficulties of transportation and
the Japanese pressed closely several
times with light batteries, dragging
guns to the hills and Smelling troops
whose retirement was covered by Rus
sian guns Consequently there were
frequent artillery duels.
General Marson was wounded and
there were other losses Of about $50
men.
The Russian retreat from Anshan.
shan was ordered for strategic rea-
sons, practically no resistance being
offered. A light screen Of batteries
facing the japanese guns, beautifully
disposed on a chain OF hills, masked
the withdrawal Of the main force.
When night fell the batteries also took
up the retreat, their rear guard light

REPEATEDLY REPULSED.
Japanese Make Desperate Attacks Or
Port Arthur Fort.

Chefoo, Aug. 31.-Following grand
three days assault on the defenses of
Port Arthur the Japanese rested dur
ing the daytime of Aug. %. At II
o'clock that night they concentrated a
strong force to attack the Zaroboutni
fort, which is a strong position on the
Russian right flank. The Japanese
made clever use of the available cover,
creeping forward in Indian fashion for
one hour in spite of the Russian rife
fire. Midnight found them properly
formed within striking distance of the
Notifications. They then made a pow
erful rush, but were moved down in
all but one quarter.
Here body of Japanese succeeded
in entering the fort over the dead bod
les of their comrades, but nearly all
were bayonetted inside the fort. The
remnant retreated, losing severely as
they fed. After repulsing the enemy
the Russian troops cheered.
The japanese searchlights showed
CHASTITY heaps of dead, like magic Ian
tern pictures.
The Japanese soon we're reinforced
and commenced the attack furiously,
but again were repulsed.

ROTATION AS CURE FOR RUST
Expert Authority Says Rotation of Crops
Is Surest Cure For Rust Evil.

Professor H. A. Huston, an eminent
German scientist, has devoted a great
deal of study to the raising Of grain
and concerning the prevalence of rust
and the manner Of treating it he says:
Rust is an infection which attacks
wheat and prevents the sap from
reaching the head of the stalk, and
maturing. The extent of the damage
which rust can do all depends on the
strength and sturdiness of the wheat
If the grain is growing in good soil
rich with the phosphates necessary to
it's maintenance, it will be stronger
than the rust and will therefore not
be noticeably affected by it.
IF, on the other hand, the wheat is
planted in soil that is exhausted from
raising many continuous crops OF
wheat, the plant is weak and is easy
prey to the rust plague.
"These conditions being admitted
the best way to rid the country of the
rust evil SENS to be to raise wheat
that will Withstand the rust, and the
only logical way to do this is by a
perfect rotation of crops. To my mind
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1904-08-31

and from the studies which l have
made, it seems to me that the ideal
rotation for the wheat country of this
state and for the two Dakotas is wheat
and red clover
after the wheat is harvested the
clover should be planted and allowed
to grow during the following summer
In the fall is can be cut and plowed
under. The crop is a good one and
will pay handsome interest on the
land, while the value of the soil for
wheat on the next year will be great.
ly enhanced. Glover has the faculty
of gathering nitrogen about it's roots
and nitrogen is absolutely necessary
for good wheat crops.
Call of this talk about rust being a
new thing is wrong. Rust has always
been present in the wheat fields. but
the crops have been so sturdy before
and the weather conditions have been
such that the infection has never
gained any widespread strength. The
salvation of the Minnesota and Dakota
wheat fields lies in some perfect rota-
ton of crops"

AWFUL SkOWtR OF SHtLLa
JAPANESE CANNONADE RUSSIAN
POSITION WITH LARGE NUM-
Der OF GUNS.

Liaoyang, Aug. 31.-From o'clock
up to 8 a. m. there has been an ill.,
cessant shower of shrapnel. The heav-
lest cannOnadlng is coming from the
southeast, wnele the Japanese evil
denty have numerous guns. Deadly
shells are bursting everywhere, their
white smoke being distinctly trace
able against the dark foliage on the
mountain sides. The Japanese are
searching the whole countryside with
their ME, selecting certain squares OF
territory on which for few moments
they mass a hail of shot and shell
from all their suns. They then pass
to another square, thus working tho
whole field with mathematical pre-
clsion from right to left. In this way
the entire Russian front has been sys
tematically searched IN the first 1Oul
hours of the cannOnaoe. Then com
melced the general Japanese advance
along the whole line.
at 10 a. m. the Japanese artillery
fire somewhat slackened, but their in
fantry steadily pushed forward.
The Russians have been holding
their ground gallantly and their losse:
are small, considering the terrible ma
ture OF the Japanese fire.
Toward evening the battle was grow
ing in intensity. The Japanese firt
was chiefly directed on the Russian
southern contingent. The japanese
advance was pressed with such vigo]
that it developed into hand-to-hanC
fighting, the Twenty-third regimen
repelling an attack at the point of the
bayonet. One of the Japanese batter
les was disnlantled.
Wounded men have been pouring
into Lioyang since s a. M, mostly hurt
by shrapnel shells and some by rife
bullets The heights of Maetung, near
the railroad, have been showered with
projectiles.
The Russian cavalry won a notable
success west OF Liaoyang, repulsing
the Japanese advance from that direc
ton. This was the first time the Rus
sian cavalry had an opportunity to
charge the Japanese on open ground
since the war hogan

RUSSIANS SEEM HOPEFUL
RoPATkIN UPON HIS OWN
CHOSEN GROUND.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 31.-The long
expected battle at Liaoyang has begun
and the two armies are now fighting
what probably will prove to be the
decisive battle of the campaign. The
Japanese armies are attacking General
Kuropatkin's forces upon his chosen
ground and his friends and admirers
here are confident that, having &C.
cepted a general engagement, he will
defeat the Japanese.
In a brief telegram received during
the morning Kuropatkin says the gen.
eral advance of the Japanese began
Monday at noon, the Russian outposts
falling back upon the main lines. The
heaviest fighting was taking place
when his dispatch was sent, from a
point ten miles southeast of Liaoyang,
where the Japanese seemed tC be con-
centrating for their main blow. The
Russians suffered principally from the
shrapnel fire from the Japanese artil-
lery.
The Japanese selected the mikado's
birthday for the decisive battle and it
will not be surprising If it is also sig
nailed by grand assault on Port Ar
thur.
The Russian forces are disposed at
Liaoyang to meet ,he onslaught of the
three Japanese armies. The telegram
from Kuropatkin which gives this in
formation, together with the details Of
the retirement OF the Russian troops
upon Liaoyang has not been given
out for strategic reasons. The COM
bined armies of Generals Kuroki, Oku
and Nodzu probably exceed 100000
men. Their forces are considerably
superior in numbers to General Kuro-
patkin's, but the Russian commander
in-chief probably relies upon the
strength and character Of his position
to overcome the disparity in numbers.
The war Office is waiting with
GREATNESS anxiety for rews of the
progress and issue of the battle, on
which SO much depends.

REVIVAL OF RCxERiSM.
American Missionaries Obliged t
Evacuate Tamingtu.

Shanghai, Aug. 31.-A revival Of
boxerism is reported from TaInlngiu,
in the southwestern pa!t OF Pee hill
province, 2l5 miles from Tientsin.
Over twenty American missionaries,
including women and children, have
been obliged to evacuate Tamingfu
owing to intended massacre on the
part of the boxers. The local tele-
graph company refused to transmit a
message from these missionaries TO
American Minister Conger at Picking.
Fortunately, however, an English
friend in Honan forwarded their mes
sage, whereupon Yuan Shi kai, vice
roy OF Pechili province, dispatched
urgent orders for their protection.
In view of the fact that the local
authorities gave them no protection
and there was no hope of continuing
their work the missionaries came out.
They travelled in safety

Junk From Port Arthur Reports Fur
Their Severe Fighting.
Chefoo, Aug. 31.-A junk which left
Liaoti promontory the afternoon of
Aug. 20 brings confirmation of the re-
port of fighting at Palichuang on the
26th, making it clear that there had
been a fight of several days. duration
in that section, during which both
sides lost heavily. The Japanese sue
ceeded in holding their position and
mounting guns, which. together with
those at Chaochanko, exchanged a
Gerce fire with Russian artillery from
<wo forts in the vicinity of Tapingtse.
Chinese who came In by this junk
affirm that the Russians are firing
daily from Itzshan and Antzshan forts.
This may mean that there is another
undestroyed fort at Itzshan or that
the Russians have recaptured that
position. One OF the Chinese declares
that he has been engaged for twenty
days in carrying Russian dead from
the forts near Tapingtse.

his crime at LOT a. m.
The prisoner was escorted to the

nothing" The priest then offered up
the Lords prayer, which Chounard

The sound must have reached the men inside the house, for the door was opened again hurriedly, and tho two of them ran out into the road When they saw what had happened. the fellow dressed like brewer rushed in pursuit of the runaway, calling Whoa! whoa!" as he went, and the other fellow, though he did not join in the chase, walked slowly after him to witness the result.
