AT POUTILOFF HILL.
Character of Fighting There Is Not
Understood.

Mukden, Nov. 20, via Tien Tsin,
Nov. 22.-Since. the japanese attack
on Poutilon hill on the night of No
vember IS. no activity has been ap-
parent. The character Of the attack
on Poutilof hill is not fully under
stood beyond the fact that three or
four battalions participated. 1t prob
ably was made on the initiative of the
local commander without the consent
of headquarters. and as an attack it
can only be favorably regarded in the
light Of a reconnaissance in force.
This incident is the most important
thai has happened since the battle of
Shakhe. Poutilof hill, which is now
the center of interest of the entire line,
could be seen flashing the signal of
attack from her Notifications as h
japanese infantry advanced. on &C
count of repeated reports that the
intended to attack November
19, this assault was believed to be the
signal for an advance of the entire
sian army, on the qui vive,
rated its own hostile movement both
east and west of Poutilon hill.
The japanese arrived within 80
yards of the Russian trenches. The
Russian fire was too deadly for a fur
ther advance. The next morning dis
closed about so japanese e which
the Russians buried yesterday. The
succeeded in carrying of in
haste 200 rounded The Russians
lost half a dozen men in the trenches.
Scouting operations on both sides
result in daily sometimes
between battalions, but the ~encount-
ers are little more than SkirmiSheS.
The scouting is for the evident spur
pose of Identifying opponents position
and local strength.
The Russians continue to daily she'll
the Japanese position at Linshenpu.

SAVED BY L r NETS.
Thirty People Jump to Safety from
Burning Building.

St. Louis, Nov. 22.-Thirty negroes,
men, women and children, penned in
on the second and third floors of a
burning Morgan street lodging house
house today saved themselves from
death by jumping from windows into
tarpaulins held by fremen, by cropping
their way to the street door and stair
ways and by climbing through the
scuttle to the root and thence to adj
joining buildings to be carried Town
by fremen. Four women, injured in
their efforts to escape, are at the city
hospital. One of them is unconscious
and she probably will die. An
other, who discovered the fire and
dashed into the building to arouse the
inmates suffered a broken leg. She
was imprisoned by the fire and forced
to hang out of a window to escape
smoke and flames, and dropped from
a third story ledge to the ground.

we had the best rehearsal yet" said
Director Donahue speaking of the event
which took place at the Eli rooms on
Monday night in which the Turner's,
both the ladies' and mems classes par
%ticipated and which was followed by a
lunch and dance. Everything is going
putting on a professional show as any
body ever did. Everybody is getting
into the minstrels with a vim and spirit
which prophesies something good. 1t
will be worth more than fifty cents any
old time"
An erroneous impression mas DCCOIlG
current through the statements of a
newspaper writer hat all of the par
Elephants on the programme would be
charged admission. That fake has hurt
the getting together of a large chorus.
Tickets will be provided to everybody
connected with the performance, and
to offset the wrong statements which
have been printed c.. K. Holiday this
morning sent the following communi-
cation to the State Journal and asked
that it be printed over his own name;
Editor State Journal:
"I don't know who the press reporter
of the Elks' MINISTRIES is-but whoever
he may be, he evidently has it in for
the Elks. This constant announcement
and reiteration in the daily press that
even the performers must pay to gain
admission to the EIks' Ministries is
bearing its legitimate fruit.
First: Preventing a large number
of fine singers in this city from joining
the superb Elks' chorus. As a pure
matter of fact there is not a word of
truth in the statement. On the contrary
all Elk performers are not only admit
ted free, but tickets are also furnished
them for their mothers, wives OF sweet
hearts as well. Manager Donahue is
doing all he can to counterfeit the effect
of these fll-advised' press notices. The
chorus is fine and large but still needs
some 25 voices to make it an even hun
dred. He car be seen every day at the
National hotel or at the ElkS' lodge
every evening. Parties desiring to join
n help out the Big Jubilee Minstre1s'
can be assured of two things, courteous
treatment and participation in the best
and biggest event of its kind I'VE given
&c. K, HOLIDAY"
A rehearsal will be held on wednes-
day night at the Elks' lodge rooms.

.HooKY" MAN is BUSY.
He Sees County Attorney About Some
Warrants.

Truancy Officer Gage has been in
consultation with Assistant County
Attorney McNary over several tru-
ancy cases.
Some of the cases will not be pros
cuted, but one of the cases is that
of a parent who keeps his child away
from school in order to have the time
of the child for work In this case
an action will probably be COM
menced against the parent, but in the
cases where there is no evidence that
the parent is wholly responsible for
the child being absent from school no
cases will be commenced.
