of Mary and Lizzie Kehrer, aged re-
spectively 5S and Sc years were found

of the Ohio Central Mcar their home.
They had sought and found death to-
gethcr after months of deliberation
and debate. The sisters lived alone on

chickens and some garden truck. Their
only diversion was their interest in
religious matters and they were be-
loved by the neighbors for miles
around.
About year ago the two lonely
women were assaulted by tramps and
the older was left with an incurable
disease. She wanted to commit sui
eide, but her sister declared she would
not let her die alone. Little by little
the arguments Of the loving sisters
were overcome and late last night the
two, wrapped in a blanket, placed
themselves on the railroad track and
waited for the 1920 express They
were not discovered by the engine
crew and were ground to pieces under
the wheels of the train.

bed of flowers. Allison's wife COM
planned to her husband a while ago
that every time she passed them going
to their home on Elgin avenue her
skirts became soled by brushing
against the flowers. Several contro-
versieS followed between the two men
and the quarrel was first brought into
court by Lindacher who claimed Alli-

was settled Allison filed assault papers
before Justice Bowman against Lin

duty to impose a nominal fine upon
Lindacher. Allison then followed his
first charge with the one upon which

TRAVELLERS
Gould Not Get Accom-
mOdationS at Hotels,

A gentleman, two ladies and a little
girl arrived in Canton last night on
the last electric car expecting to get
through TO Alliance. The last ALI
ance car had gone and they began
looking for hotel. They tried in vain
to get room at any of the hotels and
finally were compelled to appeal to the
police. The officers assisted in the
search, but without success, and as a
result they had to go to police head
quarters, where they occupied chairs
until morning. Their home is in New
ark and they are on the way to visit
friends in Alliance. They took the
situation hilosophically and the little
girl seemed to rather enjoy the sit
situation philosophically and the little
hotels was due to the Foresters con-
vention.

100000 MEN
OF JAPANESE ARMY SAID
TO HAVE
ELUDED The RUSSIANS
Are Advancing on Fush-
an Goal Mines.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-A rumor
has gained circulation in army circles
that nearly the entire Japanese army,
or at least one hundred thousand men
of it, had slipped by the Russian out
posts, which are mainly composed OF
General Rennekampff's Cossacks, and
crossed the Hun river at point thirty
miles east of Mukden.
Conservative critics believe prob
ably a part of the Japanese vanguard
comprising detachments Of not more
than five or six thousand men. have
managed to evade the Russian out
posts and are now advancing upon the
Fushan coal mines where a compar'
atively small force of Russians has
been stationed.
The loss of these mines would be 6
great blow to General Kuropathn as
they supply all the coal for the Man
churian railway.
According to dispatches received
from the seat Of war some days ago
the Russian commanders were said tc
have posted strong bodies of troops all
along the shores Of the Hun riyel
on a line extending over sixty miles
SO that the advance across the rivel
by the japanese would have to b'
preceded by a battle of considerable
Importance.
No news of any sucn engagement ha!
reached here.
The war office, when acquainted
with the rumor. maintained silence.
