Mr.. Hall is now in the land business
at Mohall, N. D., town Of coo, which
gets its name from contraction of his
initials and name.
He will arrive in Duluth within day
or two and expects to begin at once to
meet his creditors. 1t is likely that he
will submit all claims to an impartial
commission so as to be protected against
unjust ones which might be presented.
During his residence in Minnesota
Mr.. Hall was prominent in political
circles, being an active leader in the
Republican party. He was assistant
secretary Of tho senate in 1883 'S5 and
memt er OF the special examiners Of the
United States pension Office in 1887

LOT FOR Y. W. c, A. BUILDING
Corner at Seventeenth and St, MaryS
Bought by This Organization.
PRICE IS FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
Deal is Just Closed and the
Money Must BE Paid
over within Thirty
Days, -

The Young Women's Christian association
has bought the lot at the southwest corner
of Seventeenth street ana st. Marys ave-
nue. upon which will be erected a COM
modious building for the organization. The
deal was closed Wednesday with the
Elizabeth Kountze estate the owners of
the property Sinner & Chase acting as
the agents. The price is $4,000 and
1t must be paid over within thirty days.
The association has on hand 5000, which
may be utilized for the purpose, and will
begin a crusade Immediately to secure the
remaining $4,000 by personal solicitation
and subscription.
The lot, which is now partly covered by
some decrepit frame buildings, has a 'front.'
age of 105 feet on Seventeenth street and
runs back nearly TO Eighteenth street in
the form of sharp right angle triangle,
an alley on the south forming the perpen-
dicular and St. Marys avenue the hypoth-
enuse, the side lines being $50 and 29S feet
respectively. N is the intention to con-
struct the building on the front part of tho
lot, running back 1856 feet and having a rear
width of forty-two feet, thus obtaining
light and air on all sides. The sharp trian-
gle to the rear will be used as a garden and
grass plat. Altogether the lot has an area
equal to one and three-fourths ordinary
shaped city lots. The property lies across
the street from the Squash clubs house, 70
the north of which the new Young Mems
Christian association building will be
erected.
II can say nothing regarding the building
at this time" said Mrs. Byers. Business
men to whom we appealed for aid in getting
the building fund together told us to get a
lot and then they would consider doing
something for us. We thereupon decided
to get lot and have made arrangements
to buy the one at st. Mary's avenue and
Seventeenth street. We believe the site is
good one and the price reasonable. The
outlines of the lot make possible building
that will have light and air on every side
and no other structure can crowd In along
side.n

Big Battle Probable.

Unless President Roosevelt on his own

In the meantime to agree to an armistice
the fear is general that the interim will

itself in the position of directly requesting
an armistice might welcome 1t, If the sug-
gestion came from the president. Doubt is,
however, expressed in certain quarters as
to whether even an appeal by President
Roosevelt could induce Japan TO forego its
present strategical advantages and the
chances to deliver another blow before the
plenipotentiaries meet. All the news from
the front indicates that Field Marshal

VIENNA, June 15.-The opinion prevailing
here is that the peace negotiations between
Russia and Japan will eventually prove
successful. This Is based primarily on the
belief that Japan will meet Russia more
than half way. making Unexpectedly rea-
sonable demands. Certain intimations have
been received here that Japans terms are
substantially as follows:
First-The recognition OF the japanese
protectorate over Corea.
Second-The return OF Manchuria to
China. tli
Third-International control of eastern
Chinese railroad.
Notwithstanding Port Arthur the
strategical value OF this fortress has, been
overestlmated and Il Is said that It's ulti-
mate disposal will not give rise to any con
troversy.
Fifth-It is not thought that Japan will
demand the demolition Of the fortihcations
at Vladivostok.
Slxth--The surrender or the island OF SAX
halin will not be demanded by Japan prin-
cipally because Japan has not yet carried
the war into Russian territory.
Seventh-An understanding regarding an
indemnity is not tmpossi0le, because II is
declared Japan will content itself with de-
manding the cost OF the war.

view said that IL Russia honestly desired

look of intense pain on his face and

be further convinced. So the up

Smearing a wrestler's body with
grease or oil by the seconds is an old
and unfailing trick. 1t is not done so
much nowadays, because the referees
insist that every wrestler must enter
the ring with his body dry and smooth.
Not so long ago a wrestler up the
state introduced a trick that came
near resulting in a tragedy, Before
the bout the wrestler saturated his
crop of hair, (which was unusually
fiourishing, with a pungent and dam
gerous liquid He made it his business
to get down on all tours in a hurry so
as to let his rival get on top, In trying
for a hold, a half Nelson, the under
wrestler's opponent came in contact
with the liquid and the fumes caused
him to become nauseated. 1t also
made him groggy and in a little while
unconscious, causing him to lose the
match. The crowd thought that he
had collapsed from too much exertion
and it was some time before he came
to. When the trick was discovered the
victorious wrestler had collected his
money and was nowhere to be found =
