B. B. BARBEE, OF THIS
CITY, WRITES FROM TEXAS.

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 1904.
DR.. William Howard, Mattingly, KY,
Dear Uncle am temporarily sta
toned at this old Spanish town, at
Fort Sam Houston, named from the
warrior of Texas. There are some
signs of the war here yet. One thing
is the old ST. Alamo mission, built
in 171S by the franciscan Monks,
wnere Col. Bowie and his gallant band
of 175 men were slaughtered, in 1886,
by Santa Anna and 5000 Mexicans,
after their ammunition was exhaust
ed. Among the slaughtered was the
noble David Crockett.
This town has go, 900 inhabitants,
with little WORK of any kind to do. /
don t see how the lower classes live;
no manufactures or any industry to
employ the common people. There
are many people of Spanish descent
here, and nearly everybody talks Span
ish fairly we'll. The streets are mar
row and are paved with red cedar
blocks cut in octagons. The sidewalks
are so narrow that one is often crowd
ed off.
The climate is fine. Roses are in
bloom and palms are green. Alamo
plaza" Ia park is very beautiful
like the town and people, but
don't like this post. It's too old st le.
enlisted Oct 10. and was at Column
bus, O., for eight weeks. 1 will
leave here in a few days.
Your nephew
Biglow B. Barbee.

AS | KNEW HER.
In Memory My Sister, Noar Blythe
Tousey.

Though cripple and sufferer
from childhood, her smile end
sweet disposition remained unchanged
through life AS a wife she was help
full and devoted las a mother, indulgent
yet careful in the early training of her
child and ever prayerful for his safety
in later years as a daughter, ever
solicitous for the welfare and happi-
ness of her mother; as sister, loving
and advising as friend sympathetic
and true. Always greeting with words
of cheer and as Christian led by the
Spirit of the Living God, she met the
responsibilities of life in a manner
that was an example and an lnspira-
ton to all her loved ones. Thou art
gone from earth, dear sister, and we
mourn thee Time may heal but mag
tne.God ofl.nfnite Mercy grant us that
walk through life, that when the final
summons comes we may stand among
that throng iunumerable and again
know the companion-sh of the brave
little woman whose mission on earth
was to brighten the pathway of
others.

He has tried to fill this place for five

ing Trouble in Red Sea.
The Russian and japanese forces, which
are lined up expecting a clash, grappled
I In a serious fight Sunday morning, ac-
cording to a report from Gen. Kuropatkin.
The report indicates that the Japanese
misinterpreted the movement and that in
stead Of II being an attempt to take Mott
en- pass, il was reconnaissance on large
scale.
Sen. Count Keller's account OF the fight
ing does not specially state the number OF
men engaged though II shows that the
Russian main advance consisted OF is bat
talions with considerable reserves, three
battalions of the latter being called up
during the course of the battle, while still
others were not utilized.
An important fact developed by the re-
eonnoissance was the exact location OF
powerful japanese force secreted IN the re-
gion between Fens hui and Molten pass.
! It's strength IS indicated by the fact that p
battalions were insufficient to permanent
ly force the japanese positions, though
some Of them were occupied Temporarily
On the other hand il would appear from
the report that the japanese were either
disinclined or unable 70 follow up Lieut.
Gen. Keller when be retired TO his former

The seriousness OF the days lighting. is
shown in Gen. Keller's estimate that the
Russian casualties were over thousand.
The battle leaves the general situation
unchanged but shows that powertul Jap
