MANY ARE MISSING.
Besides the Ten Known Dead at Sa.
bine { City

Kansas City, Sept. IA brief dis
patch from Sabine City this afternoon
states that in addition to the ten re-
covered dead, there many are known to
be missing.
The loss at that place will amount to
$5O,000. Much suffering has resulted to
the laboring people dozens of whom are
homeless. Many who sought refuge in
the company's roundhouse, were caught
in the debris when the structure COL
1apsed. 1t is believed, however, that
none of these was killed.

Football.

We think it is high time that foot ball,
as it is now played. should be placed on
the index eXpurgatorius, along with
prize fighting. Indeed, judging by its
results, there are more reasons why
football should be prohibited than the
manly art oil backing eyes and break
ing noses. Only rowdies indulge in
the latter contests, and nobody cares
very much if the contestants do use
each other up. 1t is different with foot
bail, however. Gentlemen, and the sons
of gentlemen, play at that game, and
when one or two, or any number, come
out of the struggle disabled, perhaps
for life, it becomes a serious matter. A
man can stand a black eye, or even
broken nose, but a Kick in the ribs,
spine or don en-, or a broken limb IS
another thing. Every struggle with
the pigskin results in the injury Of one
or more of the players. Yet this brutal
sport is INDUCED in by our college, and
other students, and is witnessed by
people who would scorn to countenance
a prize-fght by their presence. AS We
say, football as it is now played. should
be prohibited, or the contestants be
compelled to wear stuffed moccasins
and pads sufficiently thick to prevent
any one being hurt. Then the game
would be amusing as vel; as eXhiiarat-
ing. In any case it is time that society
should cease to cOuntenance a game

What Single Tax Means.

With the candidacy of Henry George
for mayor of Greater New York, the
single-tax gospel, of which he is the
chief preacher, is again brought promi
nently before the public.
"In this view Of the case" SAYS the
Minneapolis Tribune, "a definition of
MrGeorge's great doctrine-or, as some
call it, great fad-becomes matter of
renewed public interest. Mr.. George
is often called a socialist, and his teach
ings are confused with the teachings o!
socialism; but he is not a socialist except
in SO far as may be implied by
his belief in the state or NUM-
cipal ownership of what he terms the
natural monopolics, that is to say, of
enterprises that put a service upon tie
land and require the exercise of the
right of eminent domain. Such are the
railroads, telegraphs, gas and water sys-
TENS, electric Lighting plants, etc, for if
it is necessary to run q single wire it is
obvious that such wire cannot be eX-
tended from one point to another with
out the possession of the right to cross
public streets and private property, and
this right must be conferred by the
granting of a franchise by competent
authority.
I've understand that Mr.. George
favors municipal and state ownership Of
public enterprises and the nationalist
Al L. !, 40,
an ardent advocate of individualiSm as
opposed to coilectiveism. That is to
say, ne believes that each individual is
entitled to the full reward of his indus
try, enterprise and ability; that he
should have the absolute night of pro-
pertv in all its improvements and per-
sonal belongings, but that he should not
be allowed to appropriate the ''un-
real estate by reason of the growth, la
Dor and improvements Of the entire
community.
The carrying into actual practice Of
the George doctrine in regard to the
land would mean the virtual contisca
ton of the realty itself, aside from the
improvements on it, but Mr.. George
puts it in different way. Instead OF
taking away the land from the owner
and declaring it The property OF the
state, he would have the state tax the
land-separated from the buildings or
other: mprovcmcnts-up to lis fuil
rental value. This would be in effect

The Army of the Tennessee.

The strength Of nation is based upon
the patriotism Of its citizens. Numbers
without union, oneness of purpose,
are but feeble forces to resist a deter
mined enemy. In this position, to a
great extent, the now united nation
was when the rebel guns opened on
Fort Sumpter The regular army-lf
we may dignity it by that name-con-
sisted OF but few thousand men scat
tered oyer the country, While treason
and treachery were eating at the
nations heart. 1t was critical period
in the nations history, and the civilized
world looked on in Xpectation-and
not without reason-that the Confeder-
ate cause would triumph and the
Union be shattered.
Such was not to be the case, however,
The guns that first hurled their deadly
missiles against the walls of Fort Sump-
ter, and spoke treason's message to
the North, sounded also the death knell
of the rebel cause. They awoke the
people to sense Of the Unions peril.
and when Abraham Lincoln called for
volunteers to beat back the advancing
foe, from the North, the East and the
West, from every city and hamlet, from
the desk and the pillow, men rushed to
the nations rescue, and saved the
Union.
OF the armies that fought to save the
Union none acted more conspicuous
part than the army Of the Tennessee,
and no state numbered in its ranks
more brave men than the state of Wis
consin. 1t can be said also that no
army ever fought under greater lead
ers Grant, Sherman, MCPHERSON, Lo
gan, and Howard are immortal names.
Under the leadership of such men the
army ofthe Tennessee, never more than
30 900 strong, marched from victory to
victory, from Belmont to the battle of
the Wilderness.
But there is no need TO repeat the
story of its triumphs. 1t is known to
every student OF history, every lover
of the Unions Starry Banner.
There is lesson to be drawn from
the war SO happily terminated. which is,

need be, die for it, :" He who loves not

structive report Of the cure Of a case
Of halluc.natory disorder. The patient,
q man aged 60 years, has suffered for
two years from subjective visual senaa-
tons. Not a Gay passed that he did
not see a large number of spectral hui
man figures, and believing himself to
be haunted by ghosts he had become
very desrondeut and melancholy. On
seeking medical advice it was found
that be lad senile cataract When
this was removed by oreration the

usual health. In this connection we
may cite the case CT tradesman in

was an intelligent man, aware that
he suffered from sensory hallucination
and made notes of his subjective i'm
