This is not true. The drill nights are on

TREASURER'S REPORT.
Showing Of Receipts and Expendi-
lures for March.

From Mondays Daily.
The report of City Treasurer Thro-
dahl for March shows net balance of
$40, 435.46 on hand at the close of bus
mess yesterday. No account is taken
of city orders outstanding and not yet
presented for payment. These amount
to about $4,000, and would bring the
cash balance down to the amount shown
in the city recorders report.
The receipts amount to $20,926S4,
and included one liquor license fee, ST.,
600; fines and fees, $l4795; taxes, $780,
4O4.24; special assessments, $27l.S7;
water rents, 5000; freight returned,
$3.46; parks, 1858 The amount paid
out in city orders was $l4,467.79.
An unexpended balance of 5000 in the
interest fund at the close of the year
was placed in the sinking fund, as pro-
vided by the charter. The two funds
overdrawn were the current fund, 49,,
50l.54, and the special assessment fund,
Sc, l4l.l3. The latter fund must neces-
sarily be overdrawn because there is no
revolving fund, and the expense of To-
cal improvements is advanced by the
city until it comes back in the form of
special assessments. All of the other
funds had credits as follows: Road and
bridge, $l,05449; waterworks, $9,7l056;
parks, $256.75; interest, $3,377.73; sink
ing, $s,O5O.96; sprinkling, $54l.43; IL
brary, $l,99S.24; bills payable, $57.l5;
paving fund, from tax levy made last
year, $5,O3O.82.

WILL GO TO WABASHA.
Sister Virginia to Supervise Erection
Of Orphans Home There.

from FRIDAY Ddliy.
Sister NJ. Virginia, superioress of ST.
Joseph's hospital, will leave tomorrow
for Wabasha, Mimi, where she will
supervise the erection of the new or
pnans' home by the order of the Sis
tiers of the Sorrowful Mother, the same
order that owns st. Joseph's hospital.
The sister will henceforth remain in
charge of the home and her place at
the hospital will be filled, possibly by
the sister that took her place during
ner absence on her journey to Rome
and back. The mother superior of the
order for the United Safes has come to
the city to take Sister Virginia with
her to the new field of duty at Waba-
sha. At present the orphans home at
Wabasha has only few frame build
ings, but the contract has been let for
a building, which without the fixtures
or anything else than the bare struc-
ture itself will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and possible $4,000
must be spent before it is ready for
use. The many Mankato friends of Sis
ter Virginia, especially the members of
the st. Peter and Pauls and st. Johns
Catholic churches, are exceedingly sor-
ry to see her go. 1t is possible that the
Winona Catholic diocese will purchase
the home from the order at cost and
make it the orphanage of the diocese.

SUE FOR A BIG SUM.
Action Brought Against Prominent
Mapieton Physician.


Action Brought Against Prominent
Mapleton Physician.
From Fridays Daily.
Papers were served last week on DR..
Ira Bishop in two heavy damage suits
brought by w. H. Valentine and his
wife, the former for $500 and the lat
ter $4,000. Just after Christmas DR..
Bishop and Mr.. Valentine became in
volyed in little alteration over an ac-
count which was in dispute. 1t happen
ed at the time that both of the local
justices were out of town and the plain
tiff in the present case appealed to the
county attorney, but no warrant was
issued and all supposed that the mat
ter had been dropped.
In his complaint Mr.. Valentine alleges
that the defendant wrongfully and ma
liciously forced himself into the plain
tiff's house and there assaulted the
plaintiff by striking him with his fists,
knocking him down, injuring his leg and
striking him with fire poker, also in
turing plaintiffs back by twisting and
wrenching. The injuries being such
that the plaintiff has been unable to at
tend to his usual business since the
goth day of December last. Believing
himself to be permanently injured the
plaintiff asks damages to the amount
of $500. Mr.. Valentines attorneys are
S. B. Wilson and A. E. Clark. -
The suit of Mrs Valentine is very
similar to that of her husband, claiming
assault on the some day, stating that
defendant seized ner and violently threw
her upon the floor, placing his knee up
on her person, using great force and
violence, permanently and seriously in
juring her right arm, right limb, back
and entire person, causing a severe and
permanent nervous shock. The plain
tiff says that she is dressmaker by
IIduc, CIldO Ill DiiS PesSo SiiC iteo bCSAA
capable of earning from $500 to $500
per year, but since the injury has been
unable to earn more than at about the
rate of 500 per year and asks damages
to the amount of $4,000. Her attor-
neys are S. B. Wilson and w. N. Ply
mat, of Mankato. ~ -.
DR.. Bishop does not concede the claims
made by the plaintiff in either case and
claims that he was maliciously libeled
by Mr.. Valentine who used the most
vulgar and abusive language toward
him and the case will not be allowed to
take its way without due airing in the
courts, and the defendants interests
will be looked after by Attorneys Arget-
singer and Pau & Pau. That there is
two sides to the case is apparent to all
who reside in Mapleton.-Mapleton En-
terprise.

Preparations are now completed for

preparing to take. 1t is commended to
the people of the city in the following,
which serves the workers as creden-
tials card:
To the Christian People of Mankato:
A religious census of the city, in the
interest of all the churches will be tax
en- in the month of April, 1905. We, the
undersigned ministers of the city, give
this census our approval and endorse
ment. We ask you to receive the bearer

formation necessary.

The census will follow in general the
plan adopted for similar eanvasses in
the principal cities of the country. The
city has been divided into sixty dis
tricts, including North Mankato, each
roughly equivalent to four full city
blocks. To each district one or more
workers are assigned as far as possible
in their own neighborhoods. The work
ing force consists of volunteers from
about fifteen of the city churches, each
group in charge of a chairman from
that church. These local chairmen make
up the general committee in charge.
Each worker is provided with ere
dentials card, card of directions with
a map of his district pasted on the
back, and bunch of census cards. A
separate card is to be made out for
each family or boarder. The questions
asked are: The number included in the
| family, the number of children of school
age, the number of these attending Sun
day school or parochial school, and the
church preference. The cards are being
distributed this week and are to be
returned to the chairmen by Saturday,
| April 18th. After being tabulated they
will be distributed among the various
churches according to the church pref
erence indicated. 1t is hoped in this way,
not only to obtain general idea of the
religious conditions in the city, but to
discover many families not now known
to the different pastors. This has been
the experience in every city where the
plan has been tried.

Il siiO de Puerto Arturo
Traducido del "Courrer des Stas-Uns" sxpresamPnte
para La DEM0CRAClA.

El general Stoessel, gobernador !
de Puerto Arturo, ha capitulado. Ell
primero de Enero envi6 al general No.
gi, jefe iapones, una carta en- la eual
le decfa que, desesperando de prolon-
gar su resistencia, SO hallaba dispues.
to & discutir las condolences de una
capitulaci6n Immediate. Esta capitu-
laci6n fue firmada el lunes dos q las
cuatro de la tarde.
La valiente guarnici6n rusa habia
agotado va todos sus recursos; SO ha-
llaba extenuada, falta de hombres, de
municiones y de viveres. Los iltimos
triunfos del ejercito japon6es habfan
puesto al general Nogi en- possession de
la principal Inca de defensas de la
fortaleza; los diferentes fuertes y re-
ductos que constitufan ell frente nor
deste de la plaza habian lido tomados,
debido q que los japoneses habian To-
grado volar los bordes de los fuertes
y tomarlos despues por asalto. Cier-
to que quedaba los rusos la posibi-
lidad de refugiarse en- ell reducto de
Liaoti Chan, al sudeste de la ciudad
de Puerto Arturo; pero la falta de mu.
niciones y de vfveres hubiera sin duda
hecho ilusoria toda tentativa de pro-
longar allf la resistencia.
La suerte de la plaza tan heroica.
mente defendida por ell general Stoes-
sci, parece haberse decidido ell 80 de
Noviembre, cuando los iaponeses SO
apoderaron de la colina de los 2O3
metros.
De 10 alto de esta colina, situada
un POGO antss de la Inca principal de
defensa de los rusos, Sc tienen vistas
directas sobre la ciudad el puerto,
gracias un pequefo vale que Sc ex-.
tiende de norte sudoeste, entire las
alturas rocallosas que corenan las
fortifcaciones rusas.
Los cafIones de marina que los ia
poneses pusieron en- bateria sobre la
cresta de la colina de 203 metros emf
laban ese vale, pudiendo enviar sus
proyectiles sobre Puerto Arturo,
dos millas y media de distancia. Ell
general habfa, pues, cambiado la pri-
mer posici6n defensive de los rusos.
Ell resultrdo Immediate de esta ha-
bill maniobra fue la destruction vir-
tual de los dltimos buques de la es-
cuodra rusa que quedaban AIN en- ell
puerto, pero despojados de sus cafio-
nes y abandonados por sus dotacio-
nes correspoAdientes. Muy pronto
esos buqueS no fueron sino ruinas que
los rusos hicieron volar, ssgGn Sc
afrma. Y parece que, destruysndo
los restos de la essuadra de Makaroff,
los iaponeses hayan destruido tambien
las dltlmas esperanzas de la guarni-
ci6n rusa.
Las columnas asaltantes que to-
maron los fuertes del nordeste en- estos
dltimos dfas, no encontraron esa re.
sistencia desesperada, que habfa pa
ralizado durante largo tempo la &C.

bidas de TchsFou, ell general Stoes-
sci no ha tenido q su disposition mas
de 5000 hombres disponibles, 10 que
es del todo insuhciente para defender
ell vasto perfmetro de la fortaleza.
La defensa de Puerto Arturo agre-
CARA los anales de Russia una de las
paginas mas gloriosas. Durante siete
messs, el general Stoessel, con un re.
ducido ei6rcito de % 600 hombres, al
cual Sc unieron mas tarde los 8 600
marinos de la escuadra, ha manteni-
do en- iaque q un ejercito japones de
$4,000 hombres, al que le puso fuera
de combate la cuarta 6 Ia tercera par
to de su elective.
Esta her6ica defensa no ha podi-
do salvar la escuadra del almirante
Makarotf, es verdad, pero probable
mente ha preservado al ejeroito del
general Kuropatkine de un irremedia-
BILE desastre. Hase dicho va, que al
comienzo de las hostilidades, y duran
to largos meses adn, ell ejercito russo
de la Manchuria era muy inferior en-
ndmero al ejercito japopes. 81 el

centrar contra Liao Yang 8 contra

jado hasta el lago Baikal. La nece-
sidad de mantener frente q Puerto
Arturo fuerzas considerables, es 10
que ha paralizado, hasta cierto punto
al generalisimo iapones.
Para concluir, recordamos algu-
mas fechas memorables que Sc referen
al sitio de Puerto Arturo.
