CAUGHT IN A TRAP
London Oct. 21.-A letter from an Of
ficer belonging to the Somaliland expe-
dition, received here. shows that the
British force is even in a more pre-
carious position than has been indicated
in the official dispatches. The writer
said:
mo one will appreciate the situation
until it is too late. We are in a regu-
lar trap and how are we going to get
out, we do not know. We have had stiff
fish fights and have lost many men,
The worst is that our blacks are funk
ing and our cameis have nearly all been
killed or captured. We have next to no
We have no supplies and nearly no am
munition. They have captured two of
our Maxims I DO not suppose they care
at home what happens to US. 1t is a
brutal shame to send US blind into an
ambush like this. I hear fresh troops
are coming up and only hope they will
come from India
The writer refers incidentally to some
brisk fighting which he apparently pre-
sumes was already known of here and
adds:
Thirty three of US escaped. By jove.
that was a pretty affair We whites
stood out but-oh. well, we have too
many blacks

DIED OF DIPHTHERIA.
BENJAMIN F. Reed Who Attended
Polk School Victim.

Benjamin F. Reed, a IA year old boy
living at 100 Bolles avenue adjoining
the Euclid school grounds, died Monday
of diphtheria after an illness of only
few days He has been attending Polk
school in the room of Miss Tharp, the
principal.
The board of health will fumigate
Polk school this afternoon. 1t has been
several days since the boy was in school.
There are no other children in the fam
lily.
This is the second very sudden death
from diphtheria within the past week.
The other was Mrs. Della Challand, of
432 Willow avenue. Several children
from the Challand family were in Clay
school, and the board of health fumiga-
ted the room in which they attended.
There is apparently grave danger of
an epidemic of diphtheria, and strenu-
Gus efforts should be made by the health
authorities and school board to check it
as effectually as possible. The pecunar
feature of both of the cases mentioned
is that death ensued very quickly. Both
cases were reported to the health de-
partment when the patients called physi-
cians but in both cases the patient died
before quarantine was instituted.

FOR TWENTY YEARS.
Brother and Sister Live Side by Side
and Know It Not.

Parkersburg. W. Va. Oct. 21.-For 20
years George F. Albright has lived within
a few blocks of his sister, but until today
he never even knew he had a sister. Mary
Ashburn did not know she had a brother
until Albright rushed eXcitedly to her
home and told her that he was her broth
err At. first she thought she had to do
with a crazy man, but as he grew calmer
and told her all about their past she found
that he was telling the truth, and the
meeting was a joyous one.
Neither Albright nor Ashburn was their
real name, but they were children of Mr..
and Mrs. William Thornburg, both of
whom died when the children were too
small to remeber them. George was cared
for by George Albright, and was given the
name of Albright Mary was taken into
the family of William Ashburn. Neither
knew of the others existence until a sis
ter who was older and had married a
miner near Morgantown, wrote to George
and told him of the relationship. George
is a prosperous employe of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and Mary is a handsome
young woman in good circumstances.

Mr.. Cooley looks well, in fact better
than he has for years and he is enthus-
iastic over the tour of the All-American
and National teams. He says the play
ers have had a fattering reception ev-
erywhere and have played a magnifi-
cent article of ball. THE teams play
to win,'' says Cooley, because they can
not afford to soldier even il they cared
to. They work just as hard to win as
they ever do
Mr.. Cooley will remain with the team
until it finishes its tour which will pro-
badly wind up at Honolulu. He expects
to return to Topeka for a few days in
February. He will be one of the fielders
in the Boston National league team next
season.
Following is the batting order for the
game tomorrow:

VICTIM OF POROUS BRICK.
Housewife Uses Gasoline Instead of
Kerosene and Is Burned.

Bucyrus, O.. Oct. 21.-Mrs. S. J. Cal
laway who lives near here, was the vic
tim of the porous brick and oil fad,
which has been popular since the ad-
vance in the price of coal. Mrs. Gala
way read in the papers of brickmaker
of New York, who advised people to try
soaking a soft brick in coal oil and
burning it as a substitute for coal.
The advantages were so enthusiast
tically extolled that Mrs. Galloway re-
cided to try it. as the family was long
on oil and short on coal. She got the
brick and went to the cellar for oil In
the dark she drew quart of gasoline
instead of oil and. having soaked the
brick for half an hour, she dropped it in
the stove and touched a match to it,
There was only enough of the stove
left to be of use to the Junk man. The
neighbors succeeded in gathering up the
scattered pieces of burning brick before
the house was seriously damaged. Mrs.
Galloway was badly hurt.

a GOOD THING

German syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR.. A. BOschee, n celebrated
German physician, and is acknowl-
edged to be one of the most FORUM
ate discoveries in medicine. 1t quick
ly cures coughs, colds and all lung
troubles of the severest nature, re-
as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in u
strong and healthy condition. 1t Is
not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test OF years, giving
in every case, which its
increasing gale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boschee's German syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1886
and is now sold in every town and
village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary
cough. For sale by Hadley, the
