Rerald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. A lot of people will always be sorry they didn’t know it was Joe Jeffer- ton’s farewell tour. The price of human hair is rising. This year’s crop of hair must be con- siderably below the average. Harry K. Thaw, who has married a chorus girl, will find the ice thick around his family hearthstone. Leve is usually classified as a ro- mance; but for some people it seems to be a succession of short stories. Prof. Triggs says that football games are senseless. So are many of the players after a hard scrimmage. The government has over 271,000 employes, or a few thousand less than the entire population of Washington, D.C. It has often been noticed that the woman who is called “a man’s wom- an” is as unlike a man as it is possible to be. Advice to those Long Islanders who ere suffering from a visitation of wom- en burglars: Make a noise like a mouse. There are knockers in this world who, if they were marooned on a des- ert island, would proceed to knock themselves. The fireworks people are slow. They haven’t begun, as yet, to pre- pare for reproductions of the Lone Tree hill episode. Revolutionists are reported to be rapidly increasing in Italy. These disturbers and the baby are making it pretty lively for the king. A statement is going the rounds that there are 20,000 quacks in New York city. Quackery would seem to be a regular business there. The next chapter of the story about the automobile wedding should de- scribe the cooking of the wedding breakfast over a gasoline fire. John L. Sullivan should be more cautious in signing total abstinence pledges. One of them may turn up es a promissory note some day. Joaquin Miller, the ’Frisco poet, has struck a spouting oil well on his Texas property. If there’s enough oil to last, of course Joaquin will quit spouting poetry. Major Delmar has broken another g record. There are so many s of trotting records that it is a poor horse which can’t break one now and then. Oscar of Sweden dances at enjoys it. The kings of Swe- ised to make’ their subjects but they didn’t live to such py old age. By eating matches a Pittsburg par- rot set her owner’s house afire and was herself badly scorched. This seems to have been an all-around case of poetic justice. The wife of the successful man is always said to have been his inspira- tion and help; but the unsuccessful man is happier if he has a wife who is a consolation and a help. The Dutch have captured Batoeba- toe, killing 196 Achinese and losing three of their own men. One or two of the Achinese must have had some- z with which to shoot. lady who got married after “The Memoirs of a Baby” st become a mamma. Now she ill have a chance to decide whether there ought to be a sequel or not. The latest is the “nothing” ball. It slows up at the plate and puzzles the batsman, who can make nothing out of it. Whereupon, it is conjectured, the exultant pitcher throws a nihil fit. Bad cooking, so a speaker told the Parents’ club, is responsible for many divorces. Until the race is much more highly developed the surest way to reach and hold a man is to feed him right. Wouldn’t it be a mere waste of time for anybody on the outside to instigate a revolution in Central America, where revolutions flourish so _ luxuriantly, whether there happens to be any in- stigating or not? A seat in the New York stock ex- change has just been sold for $80,000. And yet the average man, if he nad $20,000, would be quite content to re- tire from business and live on the in- terest of his money. That miraculous toad imbedded fn soli(l rock has turned up once more— this time in the Renton (Wash.) coal mines. It is reported to have been so large that a bucket would hardly con- tain it. Probably inflated by its own scientific importance. Sir Thomas Lipton announces that he has given Designer Watson carte blanche to secure him a boat that will enable him to “lift” the cup, but he has discovered already that something more than carte blanche is required to ercure a winning yacht, DEATH RATHER THAN SURRENDER ORDERS ISSUED TO TROOPS BY WOUNDED COMMANDER AT PORT ARTHUR. ARE KEPT AT POSTS BY FORCE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS DISHEART- ENED AND ARE READY TO SURRENDER. RUSS TORPEDO BOAT CHASED SEEKS SHELTER AT CHEFU—FIR- ING HEARD BEFORE SHE ENTERS HARBOR. Headquarters of the Third Japanese Army Before Port Arthur, Nov. 16. — It is reported that a wound received by Gen. Stoessel has necessitated his confinement in a hospital, that he re- fused to relinquish the command of the garrison and that he has issued or- ders to the troops to die at their posts rather than surrender. It is said that the spirit of the Rus- sian troops has been dampened by continuous work, the lack of supplies and The Hopelessness of their ability to make any successful defense of the fortress. It is said further that many of the Russian sol- diers are ready to surrender, but that they are kept at their posts by officers who threaten them with revolvers, and that several soldiers who were suspected of a desire to desert have been shot as a warning to others. The Japanese now believe that the garri- son has almost reached the limit of human endurance. Supplies Are Short. Spies and Russians who have sur- rendered report that rations in the fortress have been reduced. The wounded found by the Japanese are emaciated. Russian artillery shells are partly filled with wood and do not explode. This shows ‘that the Russians are short of material for making heavy ammunition. The capture of the eastern fortified ridge will mean the surrender of the fortress in a couple of weeks unless the garrison there retires to the iso- lated forts. This seems improbable, however, and cold weather and lack of food and ammunition renders desper- ate resistance unlikely. Russ Torpedo Boat Chased. Chefu, Nov. 16—The Russian tor- pedo boat destroyer Ratstoropony put into harbor this morning. Firing was heard half an hour before she entered the harbor. A snow storm and high wind was prevailing at the time, and it is believed that the Russian vessel under cover of the storm attempted to escape from Port Arthur. Expect Big Battle. Gen. Kuropatkin’s Headquarters, Noy. 16.—A Japanese advance is daily expected. Large masses of their troops are moving eastward and the Russians are expecting them to strike at their left flank. The Japanese are pressing the fight- ing for possession of Port Arthur, as- saults being made almost continuous- ly upon the eastern line of defenses. There was some sharp fighting the night of Nov. 10 for the possession of the fortified village of Endowuniulu, near Shakhe, the Russians being driven out, then retaking the place, and finally retiring. ROB WORLD'S FAIR TRAIN. Passengers Held Up by Masked Men . Who Escape. St. Louis, Nov. 16.:— Two masked men held up and robbed a train on the miniature railroad at the world’s fair Saturday night in true Western style, securing money and valuables amouft- ing to about $100, and» then escaped.

Present lowa Officials to Profit If Amendment Passed. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 16. — All Iowa politicians are just at present in- tensely interested in the outcome of the vote in the biennial amendment to the constitution of the state.

Cummins will hold over another year, as will every state, county, township and city official in the commonwealth. en ier ON SAD ERAAND. Will Arrest Daughter of His Best Friend. \ Lowell, Mass., Nov. 16.—George B. Howley, sheriff of Morris, Minn., ar- rived yesterday after an absence of twenty-three years. Ostensib'y he is here to visit the sister whom ke had not seen for many years, but he de- clares he is here for another purpose. “I had drifted about the West for several years until finally I landed in Morris,” he said. “Six years ago a prominent politician of the place who had become my friend put me in the fight for sheriff and stood behind me against all odds until I was declared elected by a margin of six votes. Last Tuesday I was elected to the office for the third time. And nowlam East after the daughter of the man who first gave me my political start and who is now charged with the murder of her husband. She has been apprehended in Wermont, and I am only waiting for the necessary papers to be signed to get her. “No, I am not going to tell her name. It will come out soon enough. When I take her back to Min- nesota she will be confronted with the evidence to prove that her husband died of enough arsenic poisoning to kill half a dozen men. They will ask her why she fied from the state. I shall do my duty and take her back, but I can’t help remembering that she is the daughter of the’ man who put me on my feet.” SHERIFF if PAT CROWE SHOWS UP.

Connolle, president of the Anthon, Iowa, State bank, was in St. Louis last week visiting Clarke Brennan, a traveling salesman for a_ St. Louis company.
