WNCOLN. Nov. g.-KpTlal.)-EIetlon
day was quiet and orderly and weather
sras Ideal. The. county headquarters
a busy place all day, as was the office of
the city clerk, over voters who had
fallod to regirter having- secured certifi
cate that entitled them to vote. In pre
cinct B of the Tlfth ward Home delay oc
curred. In Btartlna- the votlnf herause the
Judges forgot to bring the poll liooks to the
voting place. A number of men who wanted
to rote and go to work were consequently
compelled to go bark , again.
At the fusion headquarters nothing was
doing. All of the girl employes were given
a holiday and Chairman Allen, "Secretary
Farris, Dr. Hall and a few of the faith
ful spent the day telling stories and ans
wering queries over the telephones. A
few carriages were on the streets hauling
.voters to the polling places, and this was
about all that Indicated a presidential elec
tion was on.
Probably the happiest man In Lincoln
that this was election day was J. W.
Winger, who Is holering between life and
death, a sufferer : with consumption. The
venerable gentleman enpreiwd a wish sev
eral days ago to live long enough to cast
his vote, as he .bad cast his first one for
Lincoln and wanted to rant his last for
President Roosevelt. Scarcely any of his
friends thought bis wish would be grati
fied, aa It was not believed he could stand
the trip to the polls. The wish was made
, known to Judge Purkor this morning, how
ever, and with J.' II. Ager, secured an
automobile and the dying man was tenderly
taken to the polls.
And here was where a most Inhuman
Incident occurred, lir. Ager told the
Judges of election the condition of -Mr.
Winger and asked them to carry the bal
lot box to the door and allow Mr. Winger
to onst hie vote. Irrespective of party af
filiation the Judges gave their consent,
when some person whose nam a was not
learned Insisted that If the ballot box was
carried out of the room he would chal
lenge the vote. y
The Judges were of the opinion that un
less all present , gava their consent they
could not remove the ballot box. The aged
man was then carried tenderly into the
room, made hla cross at the top of the
ticket and In hla weak, dying voice ex
pressed his pleasure that his greatest wish
had been gratified.
Bad Row of Stamps.
Matthew Balnbridge, living In the north
ern part of the county, has been up against
a hard row of stumps for a long time and
today be asked the courts for relief.
The stumps are all that are left of some
large locust trees that grew on the line
of the farm of Dee Fullmer, and Mr. Baln
bridge wants the court to have Mr. Full
mer remove them, aa he claims they pre
vent him' from cultivating a good slice of
land. The defendant In his answer to the
petition filed said Bulnbrldge has had the
use of the trees for thirty years for shel
ter for his cuttle in winter and shade for
them in summer and that he will remove
the stumps when he gets good and ready,
unless requested to get busy by the court.

that be had taken a horse and buggy be
longing to Dow Norrls, which he found

tarrtny afternoon. They were north of the

DEALERS HELP INDEPENDENTS
Boards at Peoria aad Cincinnati Re
fase to Post Trast Price
for Whisky.
PEORIA. 111.. Nov. 7. The whiskey mar
ket Is demoralized as a result of the war
betwee.i the Independents and the trust.
Despite the action of the independents
yesterday In declaring $1.24 as a bed rock
basing price for finished goods, the trust
Is offering and selling thousands of barrels
at 11.3.
The refusal of the board of trade authort
tics to allow the trust to post the price
at 81.23 forced the trust to take action to
protect Itself and 10,000 postal cards were
sent out notifying the trade that tho trust
houses all over the United States would
fill orders on a basis of $1.23. The action
of the Cincinnati board of trade In refusing
to allow $1.13 to be posted was merely fol
lowing out the line of action Inaugurated
by the Independents In this city. The
refusal of the Peoria board has created
some feeling, but the majority of the mem
bers are friendly to the independents.
From trust headquarters In this city this
morning the statement was authorised that
all orders, no matter bow large would be
filled at ones at the low price.
The Influx of orders for the past few
days bas been immense and the reserve
stocks are being rapidly depleted. Lower
prices are predicted by those on the inside.

Japanese Officer Attempts to Shove
Soldiers of the Cstr Hopeless
ess of Efforts to Resist
Enemies. -
CHE FOO. Nov. 8.-5:30 p. m.-The Jap
anese besieging Port Arthur, ignoring Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, the commander of
the Russian military forces there, have
offered terms of surrender to the Russian
soldiers, according to advices leaving Port
Dalny yesterday. In the meanwhile the
ceaseless activity continues. The Japanese
are gradually advancing their trenches,
which shell inexorable fate to the watch
ing Russians.
A Russian prisoner, captured October 18,
said the troops composing the garrison of
Port Arthur were In want and dispirited.
They sew the fruitlenrness of the struggle.
Hopeless of relief, with food scarce and
medicine and hospital supplies Insufficient.
It was admitted by the Russians that a
Japanese victory was ultimately Inevitable.
The soldiers, according to the prisoner, see
no reason to prolong the resistance, which
brings glory to their officers, but chiefly
hardship and death to them.
Cpon hearing the prisoner's story Gen
eral Nogl assembled his staff, discussed
the matter briefly, and then, under the
light of a bicycle lantern, drafted a letter
to be circulated among the soldiers them
selves, the prisoner having promised to
deliver it In mercy to his comrade. The
letter related General Kouropatkln's re
treats and his inability to make an Im
pression on the armv of Field Marshal
Oyama, to say nothing of breaking through
his forces and relieving Port Arthur. The
letter also pointed out that the second
Russian Pacific squadron has just started
on Its slow voyage. Continuing. It called
attention to the resistless advance of the
Japanese trenches, making it a matter of
weeks when the Japanese would walk Into
the main Russian strongholds. In con
clusion, the letter promised humane treat
ment to all who surrender, saying It was
In the interest of humanity to prevent
further useless slaughter.
Rnssians Receive Letter.
In the darkness of the eariy morning of
November 4 several copies of the letter.
written in Russian, were given to the pris
oner, who regained the Russian lines un
observed by his officers. That night the
Russian returned, saying his comrades
would answer within a few days. He said
the temper of the men seemed to show
that while they were mutinous toward fate,
they also did not like the Idea of an unoffi
cial surrender. The letter did much, how
ever, to dispel among the Russian troops
the Impression fostered by their officers
that a massacre would follow a Japanese
victor. The company to which the pris
oner belonged originally numbered 800 and
now totals thirty men.
As the Japanese are sufficiently near the
summits of the hills to render the tunnel-
lng highly practical much of this work Is
now being done. The Russians are build
ing counter-tunnels. Whichever side finds
Its tunnel under the enemy's blows up the
hitter's tunnel. To prevent explosives be
ing rolled down in their trenches, the
Japanese have made ranges, or hillocks, of
earth above the trenches. . Five Russian
mine sweeping steamers have been sunk
by Japanese shells.
Japanese Progress Is Slow.
TOKIO. Nov. 8. Inofficial news received
from Port Arthur since Saturday's report
of the progress made by the besiegers In
dicate that the Japanese operations are
proceeding satisfactorily though slowly.
Limestone formations and rocky ground
interfere with the sapping. It is now con
sidered that the capture of Rihlung moun
tain and East Kukwan mountain without
Antse and Else mountains is not sufficient
to force the Russians to abandon the city
proper.
Reports from the Shakhe river state that
both armies are still strengthening their
positions along the river and are otherwise
busily preparing for another great battle.
The scouts' are constantly in touch and
frequent outpost skirmishes occur, but
there is no llklihooj of a general engage
ment for the present.
Reinforcements of Russian troops, guns
and supplies are constantly arriving at
the front, filling the gaps caused by the
crushing losses at the battle of Shakhe
river.
Expect Battle at Any Time.
MUKDEN, Nov. 8. (Via Peking, Nov. 8.)
Artillery firing was continuous all along
the lines on Monday and intermittent this
morning. A battle might commence at
any hour.
Expect Russians at Port Said.

Reservists bain Concessions.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 8. The govern
ment is taking such measures as poKglhlo
to reconcile the army reserve men who
are being called to .the colors, including
particular pains to avoid harshness. There
are many causes of complaint, especially
the character of the cars, some of which,
ordinary camel curs, are no longer used.
The disorder In connection with tile mo
bilization has been widespread, notably in
the province of Vltesk and Vllna, and
there has been considerable violence in

6:64 p. m. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
has received through Charge d'Affalres
Eddy the American proposal for a second
peace conference at The Hague to proceed
v,lth the work begun In 1899, especially re
lating to the rights and duties of neutrals
snd other questions, like the bombardment
of undefended coast towns, left undecided
by the former conference. The note. It is
understood, takes pains to avoid the ap
pearances of desiring to wound the sus
ceptibilities of Russia, the action of the
United States having been prompted by the
Initiative of the St. Louis Peace congress,
Russia Not Angry.
No response has yet been made, but there
Is strong reason to believe that although
Russia cannot show offense at the propo
sition from the United States at this time,
Inasmuch as the United States was actually
at war with Spain when Emperor Nicholas
proposed the original conference, Russia
will decline to participate so long as the
war lasts.
At the Foreign office the opinion has been
that a conference after the war would be
profitable, enabling the powers to agree
upon many vexed problems, but that it la
Impossible for Russia to participate during
the war In a conference whose tendencies
will be to limit the activity of belligerents
and in which questions with bearing upon
the present struggls are sure to come tip
for discussion.
The emieror left St. Petersburg this
afternoon for Vllna to bid farewell to fhe
troops. He will be gone a week.

third seriously Injured. The dead man is
Christopher Miller, a former alderman of
Goldfleld and a deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Robertson prior to that officer's forced
resignation after the Independence explo
sion aud Victor riot. Miller was shot while
sitting on a fence In front of a Goldfleld
polling booth.
Isaac Lebo, a friend of Miller, who was
sitting beside the latter, was shot in the
shoulder. He may die. Lebo asserts that
James Warford shot him. Miller, Just be
fore he died, said that Thomas Brown fired
the bullet that caused his death. Some
spectators say that Warford fired both
shots.
Brown and Warford are deputy sheriffs.
They ordered Miller and Lebo, who had
been appointed election constables, to move
away and remain outside of the 100-foot
limit. Miller refused to obey, and, it is
said, made a motion as if to draw his
revolver. The officers also assert that
Lebo started to draw a revolver before he
was shot.
