A 1.2OO-MILE WALK.

Henry O'Donnell, who is walking
from New York to New Orleans, a dis
tance OF /. 200 miles. stopped in this
city yesterday During the blizzard OF
1887, O'Donnell had both feet frozen
of and had used wooden stumps until
recently. when he procured a pair of
artificial feet, which proved unmanage-
able. His clumsiness caused his friends
to laugh at him. and he made the re-
mark that he could walk 1000 miles on
them, when a friend bet him that he
could not. O'Donnell accepted the bet
and has now TO arrive at New Orleans
In five months. He started at Z o'clock
on the morning OF October and in
FIVE days he had covered ninety miles
At his present rate he will make the
distance in less than three months.

CHARMING SOUTHERN PLAY.

KNOBS O. Tennessee" comes to the
Opera House tomorrow evening.
There are some sensational scenes in
the KNOBS o. Tennessee" but they are
not OF a bolsterous and improbable
kind There is no engine, no ship
wrecks or tornadoes. but in their place
other stirring incidents have been in
troduced that are Of thrilling heart-in-
terest and intensity. The manner in
which the play has been received
everywhere IL has appeared, leaves no
doubt as to its popularity The scenes
are laid In the mountains of Tennessee
and the story deals with the doings OF
the mOonshiners of that section. While
the piece is punctuated with some pa
thetic incidents, there is enough clean
cut comedy to keep the audience in a
good humor. The principal characters
are moonshiners and the leading role
is interpreted by Frank Harrington. He
Is a man OF striking stage presence
and plays the rugged mountaineer in a
manner that leaves nothing to be de-
sired. The support is in excellent keep
ing and the scenic effects very effect
i've, especially the Whispering Pines
In the Moonlight scene.

r1llplnos coutu maze no stand against ana the
he Kansans was the eliminating point Of the
lays action. Its bravery and dash seemingly
c'oke the rebel spirit, which up to that time
had caused the natives to hold on to their posi-
tions with dogged persistency.
This first day work Of the Fighting Twen-
tieth" was the beginning Of the advance against
the rebel capital at Mololos. and every point
tered was marked by some conspicuous act Of
bravery on the part of members Of the regiment.
On March q, ut Malnta and Meycuayan, Kan
sas was hotly engaged, the result being that
when night fell the regiment rested in the very
trenches from which that afternoon they had
driven the enemy. The advance which Kansas
made was along the line Of the railroad. The
Filipinos had realized the necessity Of holding
this means Of communication, and on either
side of the track hat constructed lines Of in
trenchments, the principal positions being pro-
tected by thick earthworks topped with stones
and provided with loopholes Through this
nest Of rebels the brave Kansans made their
way, fighting at almost every step, charging
across the open against bands Of intrenched
Filipinos or skirmishing against the enemy
through almost impassable jungles.
At Maralao the Filipinos made determined
stand on the north bank Of the river delivering
an effective fire as the kansans approached
The river was too deep to ford. and the artillery
was shelling the enemy's position. Kansas was
chatting at not getting into action when band

edge of Cuba and the Cubans. No one
thought at that time but what the
troops would all be used in Cuba.
While the troops were modified at
Topeka it rained almost daily and the
camp ground was regular mudhole.
The camp was not well equipped, and
uniforms and blankets were an un-
known quantity. Things got so bad,
however, that Gov. Leedy took money
out Of his contingent fund and bought
the boys blankets. The volunteers en-
dured the hardships of the Topeka
camp without murmur.
In the meantime, the war situation
had changed. Dewey had slipped into
Manila bay and destroyed the Spanish
fleet. An American army was then
necessary there. The war department
ordered, among Others, the Twentieth
Kansas regiment to San Francisco to
be in readiness to embark for the orient.
The regiment left Topeka on May IS,
in command of Lieut.. Col. Little; they
arrived in San Francisco on May 20,
and went into camp at the Preside.
Their camp was filthy. Other regi-
ments had refused to stay there, but
the Kansans had to put up with il
until August 5, almost three months,
when they were removed to Camp
Merriam. Col. Funston joined his regi-
ment in Frisco, and worked like Tro-
jan getting his regiment into shape.
On October ~ the Second and Third
battalions, field and staff, the non
commissioned staff and the band en-
barked on the Indiana. They arrived
at Honolulu November 8, and departed
four days later, arriving at Manila on
December1 1.
The First battalion embarked from
San Francisco on the Newport, Novem-
ber s. 1t arrived at Honolulu Novem-
Der 10, and left there on November 49,,
arriving at Manila on December 8.
There was very little sickness among
the troops. Ten volunteers on the In
diana and six on the Newport made up
the list of sick that were left at
Honolulu.
The Kansas regiment took up quar-
ters in tobacco house near Manila,
where it remained until driven out by
smallpox on January 8. 1t then took
up quarters formerly occupied by the
Wyoming troops.
The conspicuous part taken by the
gallant Twentieth Kansas regiment in
the Philippine campaign from the time
the insurgents made the first attack on
the American troops until the regiment
left the firing line on June rs, is elo-
auently told by Douglas White. the
