Portions of tho town caught ike/ttte conflagration continuing tho whole liiiy. On October 20th the Japanese -Captured the RUB Bian trenches on the al^pe of Rihlung mountain, also a fortified position protecting that fortress. The Japanese consider the progress of the siege to be highly satisfactory. Che foo, October 31:-The general as sault on Poet; Arthur, which began in a preliminary way October 24, develop ed into a fiercely raging battle yester day, when, according'to a hitherto in fallible authority, the Japanese flung heavy forces against the fortress in third attempt to secure a commanding position. Tho Japanese have been preparing for this assault for a month. It is be lieved that the Japanese did not ex pect to capture the town on this occa sion, but to accomplish another for ward step. This plan waa adopted, following the first assault, when thous ands of lives were sacrificed in an at tempt to swarm over the fortifications, by a mere force of numbers, regard less of loss. This assault, like the previous one, was a climatic mcjdent of weary weeks of trench digging, gun mounting and small engagements. In the opinion of experts, the assault will cease when the Japanese have secured such positions aa will enable them to creep steadily closer under the coses of the Russian guns. It is believed that two more ?;eneral assaults will be necessary bo oro the distance between the belliger ent linea is sufficiently shortened to make an attempt to enter the main forts and make the end of the siege practicable. Marvellous Corn Crop. Our corn orop of this year, if mass ed together, would cover sixty acres of ground to the depth of nearly six teen hundred feet-a veritable moun tain of corn over a third of a mile high. If divided equally among the population of the earth it would give each person nearly two bushels. One practical result of the enormous corn crop ought to be a material reduction in the price of beef for home consump tion, since it is the crop on whioh beef oattle are chiefly fed. Ic many parts of the West the harvest has been abundant bat io Oklahoma, es pecially, farmers this year are boastful of their corn crop. Favorable cli matic conditions? produced a record breaking yield. In many instanoes the oars and stalks are of suoh un usual size as to be veritable curiosi ties. In a field owned by Walter Mathews, a farmer near the town of Mulhall, in Logan County, an eleven year-old boy weighing eighty pounds olimbed a stalk to a height of four feet, without its bending with him. The stalk was strongly rooted, and about sixteen fee* high. While the growth in Oklahoma was exceptional, no trav eller through the West this fall could fail to be impressed with the vastness of the oom area and the immensity of the crop.-Leslie's Weekly. j - Col.
