cRowplNe PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Continue to Advance Their
Entertainments.

Che Foo, Sept. II, 1920 p. Mac
cording to the latest news received
here from Port Arthur the Russians,
on September 4th, shelled the Japanese
covered trenches in front of Palich-
uang and destroyed them. Everything
was quiet along the entire line during
the night Of September 4th, but in the
morning it was seen that the japanese
outposts had crept closer in to the
Russian lines.
One incident of the recent lombard
ing of Port Arthur was the striking
of the roof of a hospital by a japanese
shell. The Japanese fire was drawn to
the hospital BY the placing near it by
the Russians of beacon signals.
One small Russian scouting party
succeeded In creeping close to the
Japanese intrenchments on Corner
mountain, but the barking of dogs
gave the alarm and prevented further
advance.
The Port Arthur Novikrai, in re-
cent issue, declares that a Japanese
colonel has been executed because he
failed to occupy certain position on
Corner hill within specified time.
In its issue of September I'd the same
paper says that a japanese torpedo
boat struck a mine fourteen miles
southeast of the harbor and sank, and
that on the day after this occurrence
the Japanese cruiser Itsukushima also
was damaged by floating mine.

name of I. o. White. From here he
went to Pueblo, and was sent to the
penitentiary from that place in 1901
He returned to La Junta about March

at the Park House. He went to work
on the new Santa Fe shops. April LIST
he left town, but returned again on
April 9Th and resumed his work in the

paid the 500.
On June list Romano was garnsheed
by the Park house management for his
board bill, which caused him to lose
his job After that he did not work
here. He left about June 9th. During
the first week of June the Patterson
Brainard Carnival Company was in the
hn 20 -pnn tha
val every day and evening with his
wife. AT the close of the performance
Saturday night, June 4th, Romano
and his wife went home with some
neiehbors. Sunday he was seen going
down town, and on Monday, June 9Th,
the day of the Independence explosion,
he was seen around the house by neigh
bors.
His wife was at one of the neighbors
doing some washing, while he was at
home caring for the baby. The baby
gave him trouble and he went to the
neighbors and cursed his wife because
she did not go home and care for the
baby. He left La Junta about June
9Th, going east, while his wife re-
NAMED here until July 5th or 9Th,

her.
At the time of the Independence ex-
plosion Mrs. Romaine told certain
neighbors that she was glad he was not
in Cripple Creek at that time. as he
was strike breaker and might have
been with the men who were killed.
They seemed to be much interested in
the affair and borrowed papers of the
neighbors to read of it.
During Romaine's residence here sew
elal houses in this neighborhood were
burglaried, and it is presumed now that
he did the work.
1t is thought here that he hopes to
escape penitentiary sentence in Kan
sas by being brought here, after which
he could prove an alibi

WYOMING CAPITAL.
Lander and Casper Would Capture II
From Cheyenne.

The matter of the permanent location
Of the state capitol will be submitted
10 the people of the state at the fall
election, and Lander is to be candi-
date for the seat of government. Lead
ing business men are now circulating
n nominating petition in the county
which will be filed with the secretary
of state at once.
The move is supported by the entire
population of Fremont county, and it
Is said that sufficient support has been
pledged by other northern and central
Wyoming counties to justify the belief
that Lander will be much in evidence
In the race.
Casper and Cheyenne are the only
other towns that have become appli-
cants for the capital. 1t is said that an
effort is to be made to have Casper
withdrew from the race, however, leav-
ing Cheyenne and Lander to fight it
out, for If two northern Wyoming
towns remain in the fight against
Cheyenne the latter city, with the sup
port of the southern tier of counties,
would win out.
Lander is beautifully located for the
state capital. Geographically it is
nearer the center of the state than any
other town of any size. Lander is sur
rounded by fertile valleys, mountains
of mineral, covered with heavy timber,
and there is an abundance of water.
The proposed opening of the Wind
River reservation insures the building
of railroad to Lander, thus giving this
city the only convenience that it lacks.

General Kuropatkin has returned
to Mukden after inspecting the forti-
fications at Tie Pass, work on which
is not well advanced. but is being hur-
ried along. Efforts to delay the jap
anese advance are being made.
Il learn, from a Russian source, that
this is the outcome of the Emperor's
orders, and that the Emperor even per-
emptorily commanded Kuropatkin TO
re-take Lao Yang.
There is no abatement in the re-

in the field with General kuroki de-
scribes the operations against Lao
Yang as twelve days of the hardest
possible fighting and marching on
short rations with temperature of
100 degrees in the shade and frequent
falls Of rain. All of this, he says, was
borne spIendidly, though the men were
worn out after the tense struggle. Re-
counting the general lines Of fighting
the correspondent says:
"On September End, while the other
armies were pressing Lao Yang from
the south the turning force continued
stubbornly fighting the stubborn foe.
But slow advance was made and step
by step was the only advantage gained.
"On September 3rd the attack of the
Japanese first army had been checked.
The enemy were much stronger than
we, they having five divisions holding
the northeastern heights. Our position
for the time was critical, in view of
the possibility that the enemy might
have attacked us in force. But mixed
brigade, and later the left column, re-
inforced us, making our position safer
"On September 4th the enemy was
in full retreat and the first army was
ordered to pursue. General kuropat-
kin's retreat was mastery. He held
the northeastern heights to the last
possible moment and secured a safe
retirement for his army and his guns"

Russians.

thing else was the wonderful manner
in which the Japanese continued for a
whole week their awful bombardment.
of the Russian position. 1t was the
fiercest artillery attack perhaps in his

thrown daily, but the supplies Of them

Told in Her
Roudoir

Fancy stocks are much simpler
than last year.
Turnovers of finest linen are de-
cidedly dainty.
Boas of any sort are not very much
in evidence.
A new heavy pongee has an almost
shaggy surface.
A favorite braid for wolfe gowns is
the bright-surfaced hercules.
Wreaths of daintiest small flowers
done in velvet, especially delicately
pale blue forget-me-nots, trim hats
The latest development of the
sleeve frill is the employment Of fine
lace dyed to match the shade of the
gown. Chiffon is also largely used
for sleeve frills.
The fashionable decolletage line Is
somewhat higher this season, for, al
though the corsage is cut lower, it is
finished with a dainty tucker OF nous
seine de sole, chiffon or net.
Pelerine collars slightly draped in
front and finishing to a point, leav'
ing the throat free, will be much
worn this summer. Another effective
collar yoke is a yoke and bertha in
one, fitting closely on the shoulders
ard then falling with a full flare.

Trimminas for the Linen Gowns

Trimmings for the ira linen
gowns are of endless variety, ranging
from the northumberland design to
the most elaborate of laces, and often
combination of these two will be
artistically arranged on one gown.
Large lace motifs are exceedingly
pretty when arranged in irregular de-
signs and skillfully Joined by the
dressmaker's hand work. The deli
cate tints of linen now in the market
furnish an ideal foundation for the
lovely assortment of trimmings and
the varied methods of construction.
Quaint little boleros are the choice
of the youthful set, and charming in
deed are the many oddities arising
from this style. Rarely have these
boleros come in for so great share
OF popularity, and each individual
seems to have originated her own
idea for her jacket, hence the count
less assortment. Some are fitted to
the waist line; others fall loosely in
side or box plaits. showing the belt
beneath, while a great many hang in
a sort of kimOna fashion, showing a
large front blouse beneath, and the
sleeve reaches to the elbow only, al
lowing the white puff of the under
sleeve to figure prominently.

Green Diamonds Are Seen.

Considerable interest, writes a col
respondent, has been aroused in 10.
hannesburg by the discovery on a
mining property at Klerksdorp of a
green diamond of about three-quarters
of carat. The gem had slipped into
crevice in the iron plates of the
crushing mill, and was found during
the dismantling of the mill to make
room for a new stamp battery.
In 1893 over seventy similarly col.
ored diamonds were found upon the
same property. They had all slipped
between the dies and escaped de-
struction. 1t Is conjectured that
many other green stones got crushed
out of existence
For the first time since the date
the Klerksdorp G. and d. Company
intends to resume operations on this
particular ground, and the prospects
of unearthing more of these green
gems are being eagerly watched from
the Rand.

sized turban or sailor is perhaps in
better taste, but the vogue of the
wide dropping shoulders in costumes
and wraps will undoubtedly make the
picture hat more popular than ever.
The blending of delicate pink and
blue is a feature of many hats, and in
the association not only of small
flowers but of ribbons as well is this
dlscernible. Green also is a favored
color, and for the hat to complete a
green toilette or to be worn with a
black or dark blue or a natural-col-
ored pongee or Shantung gown, it is
a most attractive shade. Green trim
mings-plumes, aigrettes, breasts and
ribbon veivet-provide this smart
touch when the hat is black. blue,
ecru or white. Brown and green is
another popular combination.

ing than tie dainty lingerie hat made

To Renovate Satin Slippers.

How often the toes of satin shoe
get rubbed and shabby before there
is a sign of the shoe wearing. Take
a piece Of paper and pin it on the
front of the shoe, and then cut the pat
tern as far back as is necessary to
look smart. A quarter of yard of
a piece of guipure will be found suf-
ficient if care is taken in cutting the
pattern, and then all that remains is
to stitch it neatly on the front of the
slippers. 1t is suggested that the lace
be not too heavy and of design that
will applique well, otherwise a clumsy
shoe will result.
