While most people dread the
news Of great disasters of war, there
has for years been a great curiosity
among all peoples as to the actual
qualities of modern fighting ships
pltted against others of the same
capacity. Unending theories have
been advanced, but never since the
modern artnored vessel became a
fact has there been an opportunity
to know exactly of what 1t Is capa
bic. The war between China and
Japan gave evidence that the naval
fighting machine was a thing to be
dreaded, but the one important en-
gagement In which battleships fig
ured In that conflict was so one.
sided as to give no basis of compar'
ison. When the Spauish-American
war began,i was expected that the
question would be settled, but the
superiority of the American forces
again put comparison out of the
question.
At no time In recent years has
there been such probability of

One Is quite likely to think this
the coolest winter In his recollection
simply because he views all other
winters In his experience In a dark
perspective. The winter of this
year of grace Is stern reality, but
the others are passed and with
them most of his membranes of
them. Except In New York and
New England. this winter has not
been exceptionally severe, and even
In these cold stricken regions there
has been no such polar particular"
as was noted in 1854, when for five
days the thermometer registered 20
degrees below zero, during which
time Ice formed to thickness OF
ID inches. That was cold weather
and coming, as 1t did at the end
of mild December, 1t seems even
colder. There was no such thing
as Drawing the Icy wiRd which pre-.
vailed and not many tried 1t. In
St. Louis, a hackman froze to death

soldiers persisted In their tents. In

great naval engagement as at pres
emit. though 1t must be confessed
that there Is not now as much
chance for 1t as there was before
the laps began active operations.
But 1t seems likely that there can
not be much time before two large
fighting forces mast meet on
the seas. Russia cannot lose
all her ships to Japan without
getting In a blow somewhere, and
there will probably be opportunity
for the world to see just what 1t
has wanted to see ever since 1t be

a ship will be sunk and hundreds
of brave men will be sacrificed, but
the interest In their fate will almost
be secondary to curiosity regarding
the effects of modern ordinance on
steel and iron. That such con-
dict would result In many changes
In construction Is not doubted. and
| 1t Is possible that revolution In
ship building would follow. Ma
lions will eagerly watch the pro-
gress of the first great naval battle

Still, say what we will of the dis

that 1t Is energizing. Americans

to run away. Lowry reached
for his revolver In his hip pocket
and VanCamp asked him to take
his hand away from his revolver.
Lowry did not obey this order
when VanCamp pulled his revolver
and fired twice. Thel ball entered
the right leg and passed into the
left leg severlng an artery and
breaking the bone In the leg. After
he was shot his brother Frank ran
out of the house and into the
school lot where his brother was
lying on the ground. His brother
said to him: Garry me up ont
of this" Mr.. VanCamp and
Frank Lowry carried the man to
the latters house where he shortly
afterwards died but never spoke
again. VanCamp started at once
for Sistersville for DR.. Dye and
while talking to the doctor learned
of Mr., Lowry's death. DR.. Kahle
has Mr.. Lowry's revolver and Its a
80 calbre revolver with FIVE loads
in 1t, and there seems to be no
question In the Coroners mind but
what Mr.. Lowry intended to shoot
VanCamp and the latter simply
got the shot In first. We will pub
lish the evidence In full tomorrow

until after dinner thought he had
shot Lowry In the abdomen. 1t ap-
pears there has been trouble be-
tween the two men for sometime.
VanCamp is accused of being an
in6del but he denies this to as and
insists that he simply holds liberal
ideas about religious matters.
There has been trouble about hold
Ing church In this school house,
Mr.. Lowry wanting church and 1t
Is said VanC Camp opposed the use of
the school building. He insists Mr..
Lowry threatened to ipjure him
before this time. The quarrel
started this morning by Lowry
telling VanCamp that Mr.. James
Ferren. one of the trustees of the
school having said that VanCamp
had said certain things about him,
Lowry. Mr.. Ferren Is a pumper
aud works for J. T. Jones. He was
one of the trustees that employed
VanCamp.
Public opinion differs. Some
think VanCamp Is In the wrong.
while others believe Lowry was
wrong. Considerable feeling ex-
lists against VanCamp on account
of his religious views. 1t Is said
he scattered in6del literature among
the parents and pupils of his school
but he denies this but admits he
loaned some of bis books to people
In the neighborhood. We will
know all the details tomorrow
when the witnesses are sworn and
testify before the coroners jury.
Lowry Had Revolver
When the body of Mr.. Lowry
was examined by Coroner Kahle In
his hip pocket was found a loaded
revolver, the same pocket that Mr.
Lowry reached his hand back toe
when VanCamp fired the fatal
shot.
Dr.. Kahle interviewed
Coroner DR.. Kahle Is outspoker
In his opinion that Mr.. Lowry was
shot In self defense. The only wit
ness appears to be Mrs. Frank
Lowry, a sister -in-law to the de-
ceased. Mr.. Lowry went to- the
school house about half past eight
o'clock this morning and entered
the school house lot which Is fenced
In. AS he entered the lot he took
off his coat and walked to the
school house door. VanCamp asked
him to go away and let him alone.
Words followed and Van Camp tried

MARKET QUOTATIONS.
Monroe County, Ohio.

Notwithstanding the many very
fue all pools already developed In
Monroe, new ones are being found
with such frequency as 70 indicate
that there must be oil IL all parts OF

thoroughly tested. During the
past week this has been demon
STATED by the discovery of sever.
al new pools In various parts OF the

Gibbins farm between Beallsville,
Jerusalem and Ozark, drilled by the
Unity OH company, indicates a new
pool and has already caused several

Another very important wildcat
we'll was that one drilled on the
John Hogue farm at Jacobsburg,
west of Lewisville by the Carter
OH company and which will make
25 barrels from the keener sand.
This will no doubt open up another
pool of unknown wealth.
Right In line with the foregoing

Keener pool. This well, owned by
the Ann Oil company and others

Run sand but was drilled to the
Keener, where a production of at

reward. This discovery In the
Keener has caused several more
locations to be made In that local.

Suns Ministries.

The first minstrel offering of the sea
son received an enthusiastic reception at
the Lyceum last night, with an audience
which filled that play to welcome
Gus Suns aggregation of comedians, sing
ers and dancers. Careful attention to
details has resulted 10 production with
little more to be desired.
The opening part of the program is
prettily staged. With large repertoire
OF popular songs there is given the OPP
portunity to present a number of good
voices which are to be found with the
company. Most of the endman Jokes and
stories have, somehow, a familiar ring,
but they bring out laughs as we'll as
though they had only been Matched. 1t
would be difficult to single out any men,
Der as having special merit over his fell
low comedians or vocalists. The COM
pany appears to have been selected with
an eye to getting the best possible to fill
every chair from one end to the other.
The first part closed with beautiful tab
leau and song, "The New Born King"
The olio is made up of group of high
class specialists and is good counter
part for the ensemble section of the pro-
duction. Kyler, the slack wire cyclist,
carries off his share of the honors with
some startling balancing feats. Charles
w. Wilson's monologue stunt is good,
while the singing and dancing of Elliot
and West are deserving of all the APP
plause they get. The Bragdon trio Of
vocalists, Crawford and Filming in an
eccentric musical comedy skit, and the
Spaulding brothers in some new and in
teresting acrobatic feats. are interesting
numbers. Not the least amusing portion
of the show is the trained donkey which
is exhibited as the closing feature.-To.

First Defeat on Home Grounds suffered at
Hands of jackson Athletics.

Paw Paws first defeat on the home
grounds this season was received Tues
day in the game with the jackson Ath-
etics, who certainly put up the best
game of ball played here by any visiting
team this season. Paw Paw played
good fielding game, but the boys were
unable to hit the ball safely, while the
Jacksons proved themselves verltable
sluggers. Paige pitched the last three
innings, and showed up well.
Jackson played an errorless game, and
the only weakness they showed was
some poor base running in the first in
ming, when their four hits failed to net
a single score.
