Laux and Sloan.
the Democrats made an attempt
at celebration Monday, but it was
a weak one. The result was general
ly known soon after z o'clock, and
crowds gathered on Main street. Soon
after o'clock the band turned out,
and then a delegation went for torch
es. They were easily secured, but 1t
was q difficult matter to md men to
carry them. Mayor-elect Pinkrey ap-
peared about this time, and was con-
graduated, but the congratulators had
no liking for the torches, and It was
about 10 o'clock before start could
be made at parade. Headed by a
wagon drawn by four horses. the may
or.elect and the band made tour
Of the business section, and ON the
way picked up City Chairman H. l..
De Kalb. The band played but one
air-"Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here" :"
which seemed especially appropriate,
as a good many Of its members who
have been missing of late, answered
roll call. The celebration on the street
soon wore itself out, but 1t was kept
up in other quarters for several hours.
Mayor-elect Pinkley bore his hon
ors with becoming modesty. When
asked for statement as to the pol.
icy he would pursue, he said he had
not had time to prepare any written
statement, but would announce that
he proposed to give Lewistown bus
iness-like administration, and the best
one he was capable Of.
"If anyone thinks this town is 60
ing to be turned over to vice and
crime he Is very much mistaken" said
Mr.. Pinkley quietly. 1--WE are going
to have a decent town here all the
time that I am In Office. That may
Just as well be understood now as any
time. I propose to work for the best
interests of Lewistown and its peo'

ings, but ask for . continuance in
the matter of extradition.'
The court then continued the case,
remanding the prisoners to the coun-
ty Jail in charge Of the sheriff.
The nucleus Of the defense's con-
tention is that the reQuisition papers
were not issued by Governor Herrick
but by a clerk, and that the issue of
papers Of extradition is an executive
prerogative which cannot be delegat-
ed. AZ Al
When the papers were issued Gov.
ernor Herrick and his party were In
Texas. He had left with his execu-
tiv clerk a number Of forms of extra
dition papers signed In blank. It was
one of these blanks that was duly
filled out for the return of the Smiths
to New York.

Inc announcement that Prof. p. NJ
Silioway has definitely decided to re.
tire from the Fergus county high
school, where his efforts as principa,
for some years past have achieved
such excellent results, will be receiy-
ed with general regret. 1t was Prof
Sideways intention to retire some
months ago, but at that time the man
desired by the board Of trustees as his
successor could not leave his work at
Monte, N. D., because of his engage.
ment there, and Prof. Silloway con-
sented to remain until a satisfactory
arrangement could be made.

From the foregoing and from num-

a worthy successor to our present
most efficient principal. The board
very much regretted the decision OF
Prof. Silloway to sever his connection
with the school, but feel that they are
fortunate in securing a successor un
der whose management the school
will continue to advance.
A Popular Instructor.
Prof. Silloway has enjoyed grea
popularity in Lewistown, not only ir
his professional work, but socially
and it is a matter of regret that he
has decided to seek another field oi
activity. His friends and ADMIRERS
will hope that wherever that may be
his lines will be cast in pleasan,
places. Prof. Silloway stands high as
scholar, and especially as a natural
ist, and in that field, his reputation
extends far beyond the borders o1
this state. His departure will be 9
loss to the educational forces of Mon
tana.

RUMOR THAT THE ARE CARRY

1OlDNE9e.

Gunshu Pass, 10S miles north Of
Tie pass. April 2.-The situation is
unchanged. General Mistchenko has
moved forward into close touch with
the Japanese, and keeps up constant
skirmishing. Elsewhere everything is
quiet.
General Mistchenko when he learn
ed of the beginning of the panic dur.
ing the retreat from Mukden, though
an unhealed wound forbade his walk
ing, drove in a carriage to his force
and assumed command, which he has
since retained, though he is unable to
ride over the deeply mired roads,
which are beginning to dry.
Native reports, which may be TAX
en- for what they are worth, state that
the japanese are leaving before the
Russian front only a screen, capable,
with the help of Mukden and Tie pass
fortiAcations and garrisons, of holding
in check General Linevitch, and are
transferring the bulk of their five arm
les to Vladivostok and. by means OF
a wide movement, through Mongolia
to Tsitsihar.
Considering the great distance in
volved, the plan apepars too bold, and
almost impracticable; but Japanese
intoxication from continued success
bold initiative and determined perse
verance, must be regarded. The sit
uation affords an opportunity for Rus
sian cavalry, which thus far has play
ed an insignificant role, to distinguish
itself by ascertaining the japanese
intentions.
General Linevitch has ordered the
resumption of drills, keeping the sol
diers occupied in the day time ant
giving music in the 'bivouacs at night
An energetic regime is being institut
ed. The soldiers are much attached
to the new commander on account O.
his simple, soldierly style of living.
The reports that beri has been prev
alent among the Russian troops at an!
time are unfounded. No cases havt
been reported. The army is being re
supplied with equipment for he sum

need, several regiments during he re
