forward. The reverse sustained by
Gen. Yamada's column has not yet
been reported by Gen. Kuropatkin or
Gen. Sal1haroff, except in reference to
an unsuccessful Japanese attack near
Shakhe. A Mukden press dispatch
evidently refers to this affair in re-
porting that the japanese left had
been beaten off with terrible slaughter
and its retreat cut off by Russian
army corps. Another dispatch from
Mukden confirms the news of the
Russian advance. When telegraphing
late tonight, the correspondent says
1t is rumored that we are moving
ahead
There is no official confirmation here
of the report from Tokyo that a Rus
sian attack on the Japanese right on
Oct. IL had been repulsed. If this re-
port should prove true, it may involve
serious consequences for the Russians
who crossed the Shakhe while the
river was fordable. According to Muk-,
den dispatches the water has since
risen man high in consequence of
heavy rains, and therefore it will be
well nigh impossible for the Russian
army to recross the river owing to the
absence of bridges. 1t would be equal
~ difficult for the same reason to bring
up supplies and ammunition to ena-
BILE Gen. Kuropatkin to follow up the
advance.

NEWS OF THE CITY
little CHILD LABOR
IN THE TWIN CITIES
Labor Commissioners O'DonneIl
Says Observation-Disclosures
Have Lessened 1t

The growth of all tfle-year indus
tries in st. Paul and Minneapolis has
gone far towards abolishing child Ia
Dor. But, as State Labor Commission
er John O'Donnell believes, the evil can
be kept from the Twin Cities only so
long as textile industries are locally
few and unimportant.
''Ten years ago. Mr.. O'Donnell ex-
planned yesterday, "the number of child
wage winners was relatively large in
| both cities. Our own department
stores employed as cash girls tiny
girls of ten or eleven-mere babes, who
ought to have been playing with their
dolls.
But at that time st. Paul was
practically a summer town in the Ia
Dor sense. That is, most of the indus
tries that employed any large number
of men closed down with the arrival
of cold weather. The father being out
of work. families were almost COM
| PEELED to get every possible return
from the labor Of the children. Condi-
tons were so hard that the school au-
thorities were often persuaded to let
very young children go to work in
stead Of remaining at school.
Since then many industries have
tories of various sorts, that keep run
| ming twelve months in the year. Be-
sides, these concerns employ fsthers
of families. The fathers have regular
work. They are not obliged to depend
upon their children.
Let me tell you, no man willingly
sees his babies at work if he can pre-
vent tat least there are very few
such parents this state. And the
father is rare, too, who wouldn't rather
have his children go to school until
they have acquired a fair elementary
education.
eBesides, l think 1 may claim that
our department has tried to enforce
the laws against child labor.
1.-THE result is that though there
are about 600 children earning wages
now in the Twin Cities, none of them
in St. Paul is less than fourteen years
of age. The exceptions to the rule in
Minneapolis are scarcely worth men,
tioning. Fourteen is younger than a
worker ought to be, but it's not as
young by any means as ten or eleven.
Should we ever get the textile in
dustr1es here such as cotton mills, it
will be very hard to prevent child
labor. Those industries are equally
destructive to the best standards of
| childhood and of Womanhood."

KRAHMER SIDESTEPS
Appeals to County Attorneys
Office This Time

County Auditor E. G. Krahmer has
side stepped the question Of the assess
ment of the Northern Pacific Railway
company of $1,000, 900 on personal prop
erty, and has passed the proposition to
the county attorneys Office for legal
opinion.
Assistant County Attorney o. H. O'Neill
has undertaken legal investigation Of
the merits of the controversy and it is
expected that an opinion will be given
out by the county attorneys Office with
in the next ten days.
The county attorneys Office meets the
familiar case with friendliness, but the
staff of attorneys is somewhat puzzled
to know why the county auditor has re-
ferred the questions to that Office in view
of the attorney generals opinion that
the assessment should be placed on the
tax rolls, and when the railroad company
resisted collection of taxes on the as
sessment that the case might be liti-
gated in the couts.
The county auditor, after consultation
with the county assessor and other city
and county officials, has decided, in view
of the railroad company's showing that it
had offsets far exceeding the value of its
credits on which the assessment of
81, 000, 900 personal property was based.
recommended that the assessment be
dropped from the assessment rolls. The
state board of equalization. however,
recommended that the county auditor re-
store the assessment to the rolls, and on
Krahmers demand for authority of the
state board an opinion was rendered by
Assistant Attorney General Fred N. Dick
son in which he said that the county
board of equalization had exceeded it's au-
thority in abating the railroad company S
assessment and that it became the duty
of the county auditor to restore the as
sessment to the assessment rolls for the
purpose of taxation.

woman, who was riding with him, into

seated behind the steering wheel, re-
manned in the automobile, and was se-
verely bruised.
The automobile, which struck the up

that the front wheels nearly touched
one another.
Patrolman Friel, who was attracted
by the crash, which was heard for sew

the pair. The young woman sprang
down from the basin in which she had

bruised and that her knee was skinned,
but asserted that she was otherwise
unhurt

Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and EffectuaI
Cure for 1t.

Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing, headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out languid
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition win have
According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not be-

I want to say just a word about the
significance of your meeting. 1t is well
that the sons of old Ulster should bear a

peculiar appropriateness in it. Ulster was
the birthplace of the first constitution of
the Empire state. Twelve years before our
national constitution was in operation,
that of New York was formulated and
adopted at Kingston. And the state gov
eminent was established there in con-
fermity with that constitution.

ments. Each department is to perform its
proper and specified functions. This is
popular government in its most perfect
form. So long as each department per-
forms the functions. and only those con-
ferred up on it by the people through the
constitution, so long are we safe. Under
Republican administration this rule has
been disregafded. One Of the branches of
the national government has on occasion
gone beyond it's authority and usurped
functions withheld from it by the consti-
tuition. Therefore, this is an issue: Shall
the ship of state sail by the peoples

that the voice Of the people of Ulster

tionalism.

United States District Court
Hands Down Important
Decision.
BANKRUPT FIRMS MUST DIS.
GORGE ALL PROPERTY.
Must Also Keep Proper Books Of
Account Showing True Finan-
cial Condition.

The court decides that in order
to obtain a discharge in bank
ruptcy, the bankrupt must not
only turn over all of it's property
to the court to be distributed
among his creditors, but must
keep proper books of account,
showing his true financial condi-
ton.
The decision arises from bank
ruptcy proceedings in the case of
Johnsrud Bros, who formerly
conducted a hardware and nipple
ment storeat Fertile, Polk county.
They tileda petitionin bankruptcy
Jan. End last, and later made an
application for a discharge from
all debts, claiming that they had
turned over to the court all their
property and complied with all
the equirements of the bank
ruptcy laws, but the court
thought otherwise, the creditors
say their attorney, John Balk-
with, having filed an objection to
the discharge being granted, it
having been discovered that a
considerable amount Of their
property had been turned over
to relatives of the bankrupts, and
that no accounts had been kept

ments, for some time before their

had in January 1908, and what
