Obituary.

Died, November II, 1899, near Mid
dlebrook, Mo-, Berlin, infant son of j
B. and V. NJ. Goggin. Little Berlil
was months and 20 days old. H
suffered three long weeks, and all wa
done that loving hands could for him
but God thought best to take his swee
spirit TO its long home. May God hell
the bereaved ones to say, thy will b,
done.
Berlins little hands are folded
And his lips are silent now;
Very still his form is lying,
And so cold his fair young brow!
Berlin needs no earthly garments,
No more needs his mothers care;
Put away the childish playthings,
Put away the empty chair!
Berlin is gone. Oh, how we miss him!
Yet we knew he is at rest,
And we know that Christ our Savior
Doeth all things for the best.
Oh, our Father help our mourning
In our lonely stricken home;
May we know the love that brightens-
Shall we say, "Thy will be done"

The Kansas military heroes, pausing
in their common assault upon the Fill
lipinos, are diligently and viciOusly
killing off each other. The heroic
Funston, lately returned to yell ''cop-
perhead" and traitor at those mis-
cradle anti-imperialists, is getting it in
the neck from his comrades, and Major
w. S. Mefcalf-Funston's protege and
favorite-is under serious charges.
An officer of the Seth q. S. Volunteers
and a corporal of Company X, goth
Kansas, make affidavitS that are inter-
esting. The latter swears, ''that at
the battle of Caloocan he was orderly
for Major w. S. Metcalf, twentieth
Kansas infantry, United States volun-
teers. That at a point where the in
surgent trenches cross the travelled
road near and to the right of the tram
way he saw a prisoner brought out of
the trenches and to Major Metcalf.
The deponent further says that Major
W. S. Metcalf, twentieth Kansas in
fantry, United States volunteers, shot
the prisoner with his revolver and at
the time of shooting the prisoner was
unarmed and on his knees" The Of
ficer, under oath also, corroborates the
corporal's statement. Lieut.. Callahan,
First Lieutenant Co. e., goth Kansas,
who was severely wounded in the en-
gagement before Malohan, and pro-
NOTED for gallant conduct, says OF his
heroic superior:
Captain Hardy, Drysdale and Wiley
SWAN the Marilao and Funston took
the credit. Lieutenant Ball and sew
enteen men of company Z were the first
Kansans into Malolos, and Funston,
500 yards behind, took the credit.
White and Trembly swan the Rio
Grande de Pampanga, and Funston,
who crossed on a raft in no more dan
ger than on Kansas avenue, tried to
claim one half the honor. and now
from behind his rice dyke he vllifies
and ISLANDERS me-a fitting sequel to
the brilliant career of his personally
conducted newspaper bureau, which
reaches from Alaska to San Fernando. -
Thus the quarrel RACES. and the
humble CIVILIAN is at skies and sevens.
No sooner is his idol set up than it is
plastered with mud and smashed into
smithereens. III this sort of thing con-
tinues he may eventually be forced
into the heresy that military no less
than civil life has its shortcomings

The newborn antitrust issue cannot
and will not supplant the financial
question. To abandon the latter for,
or to allow it to become subordinate
to, the former, would be suicidal.
There are lots of antitrust shouters
who hope to shelve the free coinage OF
silver, and the trusts themselves,
knowing that there Is no danger to
themselves so long as the cornerstone
of all trusts rests secure. are not
averse to having the people amused
and entertained by plucking the leaves
when they should be tearing up the
roots.

RAILROAD WRECK.
Engine aod Box Cars in Collision
Track Blocked and Trains
Delayed.

Freight train No. 81, due at AS came in
two hours late Saturday morning. When the
train pulled into the yard Conductor S.
Lynch and engineer W. D. Tallivast found
that they had brought in only part of the
train, the rear portion having broken loose
somewhere between Wedge6eld and this city.
The portion Of the train that was brought in
was put Oh a siding and conductor Lynch,
and train hand Arral Wilson, colored, got
on the engioe with engineer Tallivass and
fireman Charlie Dunlap, and went back to
pick up the balance of the train. At the
four-mile post the tender crashed into the hrst
box car of the detached portion OF the train.
The tender telescoped the box car, being
driven entirely into it. The roof Of the car
passing over the top of the tender smashed
the engine cab iato kindling wood, broke
number of the steam pipes and ]smmcd
against the dome of the engine with such
force that the side Of the dome was deeply
indented. Conductor Lynch, fireman Dunlap,
and Wilson, the trsiu hand, were all scalded
about the face and hande, but none Of them
were fatally injured. Engineer Tallivast
escaped with q slight bruise on the left arm.
His escape was little short of miraculous, as
the cab ell arouad him was smashed to pieces
and the seat bepeath him torn out and
crushed. After the crash the men were hud-
died in the demolished cab, which was filled
with escaping steam and boiling water,
which was gushing from the .brokea pipes.
The meu crawled through the broken sides
of the cab and dropped to the gronnd and
they were surprised to find that none were
seriously injured. Will James, colorsd,
train hand was slightly bruised by jumping
just before the collision.
The wreck was due to the heavy fog that pre-
vailed at the time, 6.66. this morning, which
prevented the engineer from seeing the cars
10 time to stop before colliaion occurred.
Engineer Tallivast says that as soon as he
saw the box cars he reversed the engine but
the rails we're 90 wet and slippery that the
wheels slid and the tender struck the oox car
with undiminished force. The train hand
who was With the detached portion of the
train attempted to flag the engine, but he was
only short distance from the cars and Engi-
neer Talliyast did not see him until after be
caught sight of the cars himself.
The box car that was telescoped Was empty
bu. right behind it were three heavily loaded
coal cars and number of loaded box cars.
The track was not torn up at ell, but 1t
vas completely blocked and was not clea:.
ed until some time in the afternoon. The
passenger train from Columbia, due at 13
could not come in and the Charleston and
Columbia train was stopped at the depot.
The wrecking train with large crew got
to work on the wreck at II 80 aod trains
were running as usual that night.
