Wallace Tanners drug store and

LONDON WOMEN WRESTLING
Those Who Are Fond of Athletes Are
Taking to the Japan
ese Art.

1t is only to be expected that at
the present time japanese fash
ions should spread in England;
and the latest craze among the
athletic women who golf, skate
and play hockey is the Japanese
system of self-defensc, says a Lon.
don report. japanese women
have been lately taking up the
practice of the art, though it mas
been universal among the men of
the fighting class for many years.
And now the Japanese professors
who have invaded us are gathering
large numbers of society women
who are anxious to know how to
grapple with Il brawny hOOligan
and reduce him to helpless pulp.
1t requires no strength-Only
Guickness and skill-and in these
qualities a woman generally sur
passes a man. There is something
surprising in the way in which Il
fragile woman catches a wify Jap.

Wouldn't it have surprised our

they have said to see dainty young
women in gymnasium skirts that
cut the black stockings above the
knee grasped about the waist by
yellow men intent on imaginary
assault, and sprawling on the mat,

Others will hail this as the fina'
triumph of feminine skill over mas

a disadvantage to the Japanes,

AWFUL WRECK.
Twenty seven People Are
Killed Outright.


Warrensburg, Mo, Oct 10. AT
about 4 o'clock this morning the
second section of Missouri Pacific
passover train No. 30, east bound,
consis ting of two day coaches, a
Pullman car and a caboose, crashed
into an extra freight train three
miles east of this city. AS result
twenty-seven bodies lie in the un-
dertaker's shops here and nearly
sixty injured are in the hospital at
Sedalia.
The passenger train was loaded
with Worlds Fair excursionists
from southeast Kansas and south
west Missouri. The regular pas
senger No. 80 had been cut in two
at p leasant Hill on account of the
h eavy load and an engine attach
ed to the front car without bag
gage car as a buffer. The extra
freight had side-tracked at Mont
serrat for the section of No. 80,
which carried signals that a second
section was following.
The crew of the freight train
on side track installing passenger
train for second section of passen-
ger train is the cause of the col
lisiOn. When the passenger train
passed, the freight train pulled on
to tie main track, and a frightful
wreck followed.
The passenger conductor, E. l..
Barnes, ran all the way to War
rensburg and broke the news of
the wreck. Every physician in the
town responded, and hundreds OF
citizens FASTENED to the wreck and
assisted the wounded from be-
meath the timbers of the broken
cars. Twenty people were killed
outright and seven died before S
o'clock. The dead were placed
upon fiat cars and brought to thi.
city and DR.. Bills, the coroner
Immediately impanneled jury
and started an inquiry which is
still in session. The afternoon was
taken up in Identifying the dead
and tonight the conductor of the
freight train is on the stand. He
claims to have been dosing while
his train was at MOntserrat, and
when passenger train No. 80
passed Engineer Horton claimed il
was the second section of No. 30
and thinking the road was clear
the freight pulled out ON the maiu
track.
