SIXTY PRISONERS BEHEADED
Rebels at Wuchow Avcnee Recent
Massacre.

Hongkong, Nov. 2S.-Trafic on the
West river has practically come to a
~5tandstill. Steamers to WuchoW from
Hongkong have been withdrawn, but
those from Canton are being continued
o the assurance given by the British
authorities that an effective patrol Of
the river will begin shortly.
Communication with Wuchow and
Marking is entirely cut off. Several
passenger motor boats are missing.
At Wuchow the revolutionary sol
diers are avenging the recen massa-
ere. They have already beheaded Six
ty prisoners, some of them the sons Of
a~ristrocrats. Afterwards they held an
orgy, cutting out the hearts of vic.
tins, which they roasted and ate.
Some Of the missionaries at upriver
stations have sought refuge at Hong
Kong.
Companies of troops paroled the
streets of Hongkong and Kowloon
with fixed bayonets. This was done
with a view to preventing renewal of
recent disturbances. Some hooting
and stone throwing occurred and two
persons were injured slightly.

Congress to Convene at Dickinson
Dec. 7 and &.

Successful in arranging a program
which they believe will make the an
nual meeting of the North Dakota dry
farming congress in Dickinson Dec.
: and 8 II of the biggest gatherings
OF the kind in the Northwest officials
of that organization are now engaged
on the final details for the gathering.
Thomas Cooper, who has recently
been appointed as the executive Off
Ger of the North Dakota $1OO an Acre
club, will be a speaker and it is eX-
pected that he will be successful in
forming the nucleus of a working or
g%anization for that part of the state.
Unanimous support doubtless will be
given the movement by the farmers
OF the Missouri slope, as the business
men, too, are showing keen interest.
Among the speakers will be Presi-
dent j. H. Worst, of the North Dakota
Agricultural college, President F. L.
McVey of the University of North Da-
kota; Professor H. L. Bolley and Pro

M'VEY FOR MUNICIPAL DANCE
University President Commends In
%stitution at Rally.

A Greater Grand Forks is the aim
of the Grand Forks Commercial club,
as expressed at a rousing meeting
when the functions of hat organiza-
ton in city life were discussed. That
the city had attained the object adopt
ed by the Commercial club several
years ago, 'the city beautiful" was
the sense of the meeting and that the
time had now arrived when the city
must reach out for new citizens, for
new industries and for greater things
was the consensus of opinion among
speakers and members.
President F. l.. McVey of the uni
versity, n Of the speakers, touched
upon social conditions. The municipal
dance was one of the things which he
believed should be proposed.
Call it Socialism or what you WILL"
President McVey said, 81 believe in
the municipal dance"
Publicity work for the upbuilding of
the farming districts was discussed at
length and as a result the campaign
with that end in view will be even
more energetic in the future than it
has in the past.

Part Of Marking Is Taken by
Chinese Rebels.
FIGHTING is MOST DESPERATE
Imperial Troops Know They Will Bc
Massacred if Taken and They
Prefer to Die in Battle.

Shanghai, Nov. 2S.-The rebels
have captured part of the city of Nam
king, according to messages received
from up river, following a desperate
battle, which has been raging since
early Sunday. The towns complete
capture is imminent. 1t is still being
heavily bombarded both from the land
and river sides.
Marking, it is believed, will be prac-
tically destroyed.
For twenty-four hours a rain Of
shells has been poured into it from the
forts which overlook it on three sides
snd from the rebel warships in the
river.
The quarter already captured was
found in ruins. Corpses were scat
tered everywhere. 1t is estimated
$500 persons inside the city have
been killed.
Of the rebels, several hundred have
fallen. The garrison on Purple hill
showed no signs at last accounts,
however, of surrender.
The imperialist soldiers will be
massacred if they fall into the rebels
hands alive and evidently feel that
they may as well die fighting.
Revolutionary leaders here are hur.
rying plans for 4 move against Picking.
A force is ready at Canton to embark
as Don as the rebel warships arrive
to transport them to Tientsen, whence
they will march on the capital.

MANY MORE CARS NEEDED
Commercial Club of New Rockford
and Other Bodies File Complaints.

Commercial Club of New Rockford
and Other Bodies File Complaints.
There is a marked shortage of cars
in that section and the New Rockford
Commercial club has taken steps look
ing to relief in laying a complaint be-
fore the state railroad commission.
Similar complaints havae been placed
before the commission at other places
and railway officials are being cor
responded with.
The a situation in New Rockfard
is shown by figures secured by the
Commercial club. Already 1859 cars of
grain have been shipped. The local
elevators contain 1876, 600 bushels of
grain, while the farmers have about
100000 bushels of grain stored in their
own warehouses or in the fields, some
Of it being u~nthreshed.
At some points in the state there
has been trouble securing cars for the
shipment of potatoes and similar pro-
duce and there has, as a result, been
complaints from shippers of those
products.
The state railroad commission will
hold it's next meeting in Darlington
Dec. 6 to 8 and at that time the ques-
ton will be given consideration. A
session is also scheduled to be held in
Fargo and there may be some develop
ments at that time.
