ENGLISH ANXIETY.
Movements of the Russian Squadron
 no Longer Subject of Ridicule.

London, April 19.-The British pub lie is beginning to realize how much depends on Togo's sSillful conduct in the approaching naval contest. Until Vice Admiral Rojestvensky actually arrived in the Straits of Malacca there was a disposition to ridicule the efforts of the Russian squadron; but now that there is seen to be a growing likelihood of Vice Admiral Nebogatof joining RO- jestvensl<y before the fatal struggle opens, interest is deepening into anX- iety.
 The Tokio correspondents state that the Japanese have addressed a proto col to France on the Russian Pacific squadron's presence in Kamranh Bay. but that France has not yet replied. The Telegraph's correspondent at To- kiO declares that a Japanese fleet is ready to sail for the Kamranh' Bay.
 The Telegraph's Hong Kong cOrre- spondent states that two steamers which passed closed to Kamranh Bay on Sunday report that no Russian vessels were then visible. No news. however, has yet reached London to show that the Russians have left Kamranh Bay, and it is assumed that they are still there.

and Montgomery, Ward and company can be reached, the indications tonight are that the strike of the teamsters will spread to other concerns. Today 15O drivers employed by the D. M. Forbes Teaming company were order ed on strike, because that firm insist ed on making deliveries to Montgom- cry, Ward and company. President Shea of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters declared tonight that he would order out all the drivers engaged by firms that insist on delivering sup plies to the big store.
 The new Employers Teaming com pany began aggressive action against the striking teamsters today by deliver ing coal to Montgomery, Ward and company.
 The Coal Team Owners association has arranged for conference tomor- row with the employers association when another effort to effect a settle ment of the strike will be made.
 The team owners association will present proposition to arbitrate everything in dispute. Nothing of a tangible nature is expected to result from this conference as Montgomery, Ward and company have steadfastly refused to arbitrate the demands of the garment workers, although offering to accept conciliatory measures with the teamsters. The garment workers places have been filled, and MontgOm- cry, Ward and company assert that there is nothing to arbitrate.

Now Engaging the Atten-
 ton of the World
WHEN WILL IT COME
Russians Do not Believe Admiral To- go Will Venture a Meeting in the Open Seas and the British Fearing That He Will Be Outmatched.

St. Petersburg, April 19.-The keen est interest is manifested in dispatches referring to the Russian squadron commanded by Admiral Rojestvensky but the admiralty claims to be as much in the dark as the public regarding the plans of the admiral. The report that part of the squadron was sighted off Hong Kong is not credited however, as Hong Kong is far off his route The main question now agitating naval of fcials is whether Rojestvensky will elect to proceed northward through the straits of Formosa or bear off into the Pacific through Baschi Channel. south of the Island of Formosa, or Ealing Tang Channel, north of the Island of LuZon. The conviction is growing stronger that Japanese heavy divi- sion is concentrating close to the shores Of Japan and it is also believed that AdI liral Togo will decline to give bat tle in open sea
 This is what the admiralty officials hope for as it sincerely believes Ro- jestvensky would have more than an even chance if the squadron lined up in an open fight. They believe Togo's tactics will be night torpedo boat at tacks in an attempt to scatter the Russian ships, putting some of them out of action and picking off the damaged vesesls in the morning as it is recognized that if one of the Rus sian ships is injured it may be too dangerous for a whole squadron to stand by, her and thus offer a big target for the Japanese torpedoes. Such a running fight accompanied by nightly torpedo attacks therefore is what Is most dreaded.
 The admiralty has no confirmation or the reported cutting of the cable con meeting the Island of Formosa with the

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
Sermon by Rev. G. II. Stull. Service
Will be Held in the Evening at the
Methodist Church.

The union Thanksgiving service
will be held this year in the Meth
odist church, the sermon preached by
the Rev. c. H. Stull, the pastor of
the Baptist church. This service will
be held at night instead of in the
morning, as has heretofore been the
custom, and will begin at z AS P. M.
This change is made in order to &C.
comodate great many who found it
inconvenient to attend morning SER
vice on that day. Special music will
be prepared and large congregation
is expected. In the past the service
has not been attended as it should be,
and it is believed that the change of
time will make it possible for most
of our business men to be present.
Motives, not alone of religion, but of
patriotism as we'll, should lead us to
observe the day set apart by procla-
nation of the President Gas day of
Thanksgiving for the past and Of pray
er for the FUTURE "On that day, I"
says he, II ask that throughout the
land the people gather in their homes
and places of worship, and in render
ing thanks to the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to a life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so
that this nation may do its allotted
work on earth in manner to honor
those who founded it and those who
preserved it."

BREDA SUFFERS FROM FIRE
Depot and Elevator Burn with Five
Thousand Dollars Loss.

Carroll, Ia, Nov. 20.-Special !:
Fire at Breda, Carroll county, this
morning destroyed the Northwestern
depot and the large elevator opposite
the tracks belonging to the North
western Grain company, of which
Meyers Brothers were managers.
Both buildings were burned to the
ground. The elevator building was
valued at $4,000 and the warehouse
at $500, the latter being filled with
wheat, oats and barley. Coal sheds
containing three cars of coal were
consumed. Flour and feed amount
ing to 5000 were included, and the to-
tai loss, depot included, will proba-
bly,, reach $4,000. Some insurance

O'Clock this morning in the elevator,
the first intimation Of fire being MOTTO
ed when the flames issued from the
roof.
Assistance from Auburn was called,
but when the Joyce Lumber COM
pany's sheds were threatened, Car
roll was called. A special train took
the Carroll department to the scene,
but too late to render assistance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Breda has no water works and is abb
solutely without fire protection.

THE DIVORCE is OBTAINED.
Domestic Troubles of U. S. Renne
Well Known in This County, Are
Settled in Sioux City.

The U. s. Renne divorce case, diff
ferent chapters of which have been
occupying the attention of the court
for more than year, came to a close
this afternoon in the granting of d.
vorce to Mrs Renne. The alimony
feature, which was settled out of
court, provides that Mrs. Renne shall
take as permanent alimony 300 acres
of Nebraska land valued at $4,000.
This land had been recently sold by
Renne, but he has agreed to sign over
the contract Of sale to Mrs. Renne and
pay her the $500 which he received as
the first payment.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1905-11-22

The Renne case has had numerous
phases. Mr.. and Mrs. Renne former
ly lived at Smithland, where they sep
arated, Mrs. Renne going to live with
her parents at Burr, Neb. Soon after
the separation school teacher at
Sergeant Bluffs charged Renne with
breach of promise and threatened a
damage suit against him. Fearing the
loss of property in this case he decided
160 acres of Missouri bottom land to
L. A. Renne, relative. 1t happen
ed that Mrs. Renne's name was "Lulu
A., and when she saw that the land
had been transferred to "L. A.
Renne'' she concluded that she was
the owner. Then she began suit to
quiet title.
Mr.. and Mrs. Renne entered into
g stipulation to the effect that if she
should secure divorce she should re-
ceive 300 acres of land in Nebraska
as permanent alimony. Then some
weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Renne met
in Sioux City and renewed their affec-
ton. She went with him to Smith
land and they started to live together
again. However, it was not Of long
duration and she soon went back to
her parents. She insisted upon having
the land turned over to her, but ac-
cording to the stipulation could not
get it unless she secured divorce.
Before she had time to begin divorce
proceedings Renne sold the land and
received payment of $500.
Renne came here to resist the
granting of a divorce because he was
not in position to fulfill his part of
the stipulation regarding the alimony
The attorneys have been consulting
since yesterday noon on the disposition
of the alimony question and finally
concluded this afternoon by Renne
agreeing to sign over the contract Of
sale to Mrs. Renne. He did not resist
the granting of the divorce.
