St. louis to Colorado via Wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account of great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

NOT oTTITE ANNIHILATED.

One of his aids sought out. Col. Durham
and said: 1.-THE general (Forrest) under
stands that you have surrendered" "The
general is mistaken. We have never
thought of surrendering," answered Dun
ham. After a short parley the aid re-
turned to Gen. Forrest, and soon came back
with the message, ''The general demands
an unconditional surrender" to which
Durham replied, "Give my compliments
to the general and tell him Inever surrend-
err If he thinks he can take me he can
come and try"
At the moment of this defiant reply Dun
ham was enveloped on three sides, and For
rest would have taken him and all his men
but for the timely arrival of Fuller
The biographer of Forrest claims that
the Union troops outnumbered the Confed-
crates in this fight, but there is internal
evidence in this account, Campaigns of
Gen. Forrest" to show that such was not
the case. The writer describes charge after
charge by the Union men, and relates how
Forrest sent'in detachments from three di-
rections and could not conquer them. For
rests own report says that he fought Dun
ham for five hours. Now, men who fight
so calamity do not permit the enemy to
hem them into pen, as was the case here,
unless they are outnumberad. Durham
had all told in the field 500 men.
Forrest force was reported before the
fight to number 5000, which was of course
an exaggeration He had, however, at
least four cavalry regiments, three mount
ed battalions and two batteries, number
ing, as he states officially, l, 500 men. For
rest lost a great many men, but
his adjutant general having been captured
no report was made. His loss in prisoners
was about 500, in cannon three, and in
caissons eight. The rider to retreat was
given by Forrest as soon as Fuller's at
tack was made. He knew his>own position
was desperate, for his troops were in utter
confusion on account of the surprises and
disasters thatlhad marked the day.
The truth was that Forests men. brave
as they were, had been outfought He had
the larger force and his men were mount
ed, which WAS great advantage in max
ing flank attacks. But Dunhams daring
had told on his followers. who fought like
heroes. The men of the battery, when
their ammunition was gone, fought on
with any weapon they could find.
The probability is that Forrest was so
elRted over his success on this raid that he
despised his enc nlieS and expected no SOL
dierly opposition. Durham and Fuller
taught hind soundly that in war it is the
unexpected that always! happens

there to be overtaken by an order from
Gen. Sullivan, who was behind him, to
halt for an hour and half Instead Of
obeying he pressed on with all speed, i'm
itatiug Col Durham in his battle zeal and
illustrating again theimportant maxim of
war, "Whenin doubt go ahead" He was
within two miles Of the field when an
orderly galIoped from the rear to the head
Of column with a message from Gen. Sulli-
van, who was now with the rear guard
three miles back, directing a halt until the
general should reach the front.
At the same time one of Fuller's aids
came in from the direction of the battle
field and reported the enemy in full force
between Dunham's command and the re-
endorsements Once more there was doubt
whether to. obey ordersiand halt or go on
and fight. He,went ahead, and the result
cannet5be told better than in the words of
Gen. Forrest himself After describing
the main fighting he says in his official re-
port: ''Thirty minutes more would have
given us the fight, when to my surprise
and establishment fire was opened on Us
in our rear and the enemy in-heavy force
advanced on us. Knowing that had four
companies at Clarksburg, seven miles
from US on the Huntington road, could
not believe they were Federals.until rode
myself into their lines. The heavy fire of
their infantry, unexpected and unlocked
for by all, caused stampede of horses be-
longing to my dismounted men who were
following up and driving the enemy be-
fore them. They also killed or crippled
many of the horses attached to our caissons
and reserved guns"
Lotto
Forrest indicates. The first volley of the
Twenty-seventh Ohio endorsed several of
the body guard of Forrest, andshis adjutant
general was made prisoner. Forrest him
self literally ran away from his comrades,
and when halted by Union officer with a
demand for surrender he answered cooily,
Il have done SO some time ago, and
am collecting my command to surrender
in due form" By this ruse he escaped.
Fuller's men had made seven miles in the
last hour and half of march, and arrived
at double quick on the field. They seized
800 horses belonging to Forrest, and recapt-
ured one cannon and wagon train that
Forrest had taken from Durham when he
swooped in upon the Union rear
The turn of affairs brought about by
Col. Fuller's promptness was no more of
surprise to Forrest than it was relief to
Durham. After the repulse of Forests
charge in the rear the Union troops could
ono more than stand and see themselves be-
ing hemmed in. Their artillery was useless,
their numbers inferior and their road back
toward their comrades was closed. As soon
as Forrest could organize after his bloody
repulse he attempted his favorite game,
when all else failed, of bluffing his enemy.

BALFOUR's PRESENCE WANTED.
Request Made by the Defense in the
Conspiracy Trials.

TIPPERARy. Oct. 21.-When the court which
is hearing the conspiracy cases against Messrs.
Dillon and OBrien and others convened this
morning, witness for the crown, man named
Quinlan, who is a tenant on the Smi;h-Barry
estate, was recalled by the prosecution. Quin-
Ian FRIDAY last, among other things. testified
that after paying his rent in December, 1889,
four shots had been fired in his house. Today
the witness said that since yesterday he had
been informed that those dealing in the article
would refuse to supply his family with milk.
Mr.. V. b. Dillon of counsel for the defense
expressed q wish that as the case was being con-
Quoted before a superior court a charge Of con-
tempt against MIR. Baifour should be brought
He asked that summons be issued to compel
Mr.. Balfours attendance in court. there to state
on oath what had been said by him in his New
castle speech. DIR. Dillon eloquently urged
that the chief secretary for Ireland should not
be protected by the court in his INSCRIPTIONS

summons for Mr.. Balfour Mr.. Dillon's remarks
were listened to with not altogether suppressed
excitement.
The bench refused to grant the request Of
counsel for the defense saying that it could
not be the medium for accomplishing anything
illegal or improper.
Mr.. David Sheehy. one Of the defendants.
took part in the discussion and made remarks
which were construed by the magistrates as
contempt of court. He was accordingly COM
mitted to Jail for one week.

IN THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.
VIM. OBrien Thinks That Time IL
Wasted on Trifles.

PARIS Oct 21.-Wm. O'Brien was today in
terviewed as to the impressions gathered by
him during his visit to the chamber Of deputies
yesterday in company with Mr.. Dillon. After
expressing his sense Of the courtesy manifested
by the presiding officer Of the chamber in the
reception Of his colleague and himself, Mr..
OBrien said that his surprise had been excited
by the remarkable patience manifested by the
chamber Of deputies in according such liberal
allowances Of time for the discussion and con-
sideration Of matters which, in other parlia-
mentary bodies would be briefly dismissed
This, Mr.. O'Brien believed, was not always TO
the best interests Of the republic, inasmuch as
a great deal Of time was lost in the prolonged
discussion Of matters of comparatively triflng
Importance, while questions Of great national
moment and absorbing interest were at times
kept in the background Of debate by an over
scrupulous desire to avoid the appearance of
cutting off discussion in minor matters.
In the house Of commons debate on any
question was never so prolonged as was the
case in the French chamber, and the tendency
was constantly toward Q trimming down Of
oratorical display
