DIED..

l. A
On Thursday evening occurred the
death of Mr.. Fred Way, youngest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Way. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago he fell
from the top of windmill, and
although he was able to be around
some, yet he never recovered. During
the summer he was taken to Kirksviile,
Mo-, where it was thought the osteo-
path treatment might be helpful, but
all that medical skill could do was un-
availing.
Mr.. Way was born in Denison where
he grew to manhood, and where he had
host of friends. He Was prominent
and very earnest worker in the Baptist
church, leader in the Young Peoples
meetings and devout Christian, and
his untimely death comes as thunder
bolt from clear SKY to his friends.
The remains will be brought to Deni-
son on the 2:16 train tomorrow after
noon, and the sermon will be preached
from the Baptist church, after which
interrment will take place in Oakland
cemetery. To the bereaved parents
and brother the sympathy of the entire
community is extended.

D. J. PALMER AT DELolT.
Speaks to Standing Room In Double Room
ed School House,

Last evening Hon. d. j. Palmer, ac-
companied by the Denison band a good
sprinkling of citizens went up to De-
lott over the new line. The train left
Denison promptly at 6 o'clock and on
arriving at Deloit shortly after, the
committee found the school house al
ready we'll filled with people who had
come out to hear the political issues
discussed. At Deloit depot the band
played some stirring music and formed
in line and marched up town, stopping
at Elmer Laugherys and favoring him
with a serenade.
at the school house number of
pieces were played and the meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Younie who
in neat little speech introduced the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Palmer
delivered a very strong address which
was listened to with great interest and
he was applauded number of times.
He called attention to the fact that MIR.
Bryan had been just as good as nomin-
ated by the democrats for president in
1900; that this year was what might be
called an index year, that what was
done now would be carried out next
year. He also spoke of the trusts and
drove home some good arguments.
The speaker in fact covered the ground
thoroughly on every subject and his
talk will result in much good being
done in that vicinity. The Denison
party returned home on the 1915.

SLAIN BY HUNDREDS.
Fifteen Hundred Beers Re
ported Killed at Mafeking.
DRAWN OVER LYDD1TE MINES

Transvaal Forces Capture an Armoretl
Train Containing Several British Omc-
ers Going to the Front-Natal Claiming
Public Attention In the War Situation.
ELoNDoN, Oct. 2O.-The Daily News
Cape Town correspondent says: .'It is
rumored here that news has reached De
AJAX Junction that the Beers attacked
Mafeking in force, but were repulsed.
The defenders seeing the enemy retreat
ing, pursued them for some distance.
Then feint was made and they COM
menced to retire on the town, allowing
themselves to be driven in by the Beers,
who, eager to retrieve their position.
again advanced to the attack and was
drawn over lyddite mines, laid for the
defense of the town. 1t isreported that
1880 Beers were killed by the explo-
sions."
The Beers have blown up the bridges
at Fourteen Streams and the Modder
river, the former north and the latter
south of Kimberley.
LONDON, Oct Yesterday was one
of the most exciting days known at the
war office since the crowd gathered
there to learn the fate of the expedition
to Gordon's relief. The news that the
Fifth Lanciers had been engaged
brought many ladies and other friends
OF the regiment to inquire for news.
The gravest intelligence seems to be
the report of the capture of train with
officers at Elandslagato, for it was un-
derstood that the whole ine was pa
trolled
No reporters are allowed at the front,
and it is impossible to gain informa-
ton, and it is learned that General Sir
Stewart White has been making exten-
sive movements in that direction, and
developments are hourly expected.
Commandant Joubert's northern col
umn, with u guns, is now at Damn
hauser.
Although the Beers have shown con-
siderable activity in Natal there is moth
ing to indicate that they are yet pre-
pared for a serious combined attack and
the general belief here is that unless
something unexpected happens General
White will remain on the defensive.
Mafeking news is still confined to a
repetition of the stories that Colonel
Baden Powell moved down 800 Beers
with his Maxims.
The surrender Of Vryburg is not of
great Importance, but it will be re-
garded throughout Boerdom as a splen-
did triumph over the British.
Some military critics think it not i'm
possible that General White may be
able to withdraw his forces from Glen
coe and concentrate them at Ladysmith,
there to await developments. The
latest adyices here say that the Natal
Carbineers, who were engaged with the
enemy at Besters Station, had six men
wounded. An armored train has been
sent from Ladysmith to bring in the
wounded. Several spies have been az
rested at IadySmith
