and a strong personal character. His
military record, however, had been
made before the present struggle. He
had won fame and honor in the Chin
ese-Japanese war. 1t was this same
marquis who captured Port Arthur
during that war within twenty days
after the Japanese had landed, and
onlv one day after the actual assault
had been begun. He was educated
previously in the best military instltu-
ton in the Japanese empire and
thence was sent to study German
methods of warfare for three more
wears. After that he was Japanese
minister Of war, and later was chief
of the general staff of the Japanese
army. Every soldier in the present
Manchuria campaign knows some OF
these facts concerning his leader, and
the result is that Oyama has the per-
sonal confidence and implicit faith of
every man he leads. He is the great
est general in the present war.
Personally he is said to be big
powerful mar, with a large, heavy
head, and face pitted from small
pox. It is said that in spite of hrs
rgly features he is a charming con-
versationalist, and that he is be-
loved by all who come in personal
contact with him. His wife is a
dainty Japanese lady, educated at and
graduated from Vassar. His daugh-
ters and sons are also finely educa-
ted.

TWENTY-SEVEN KILLED.
Railroad Wreck Yesterday Morning,
One of Most Horrible in Years
of Railroad History.

Warrensburg, Mo-. October H.
Twenty-sevent persons are dead, sew
eral more are dying, and over thir-
ty-hve are seriously injured as the
result OF a collision between the
Worlds Fair special and an extra
freight. on the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. which occurred near this place,
at 4:1o yesterday morning. The
freight engine demolished the pas
senger engine and then ploughed
through part of the train Some of
the dead were so horribly mangled
that identification will be absolutely
impossible 1t is thought that the
disaster was brought on by mis-
understanding Of orders.

is manifested from the loyal char
acter of their descendants. The
Quaker graveyard is carefully kept,
but the others are desolate. The
Christianity of these sects was sound
and healthy, charged with common
sense, and had no decayed places in
it. Thinking of them I am remind
ed of these lines:
"I'm beginning to suspect,
That ali the world are partners,
Whatever their creed or sect,
That life is kind of pilgrimage,
A sort of Jericho road,
And kindness to ones fellows,
Is the sweetest law in the CODE"
The Covenanters always maintain
ed that. sweetest of religious exer-
cises, family prayer. 1t always re-
minded me Of Burns "Cotters Satur-
day Night"
"Where the father gathers the FAM
lily,
They round the ing1e form circle
wide,
Let US worship God, he says with
solemn air,
They chant the sweetest psalms in
simple guise,
The priest-like father reads the sac
red page,
How guiltless blood for guilty man
was shed,
Then k=ieeiing down to heavens Eter-
nal King,
The saint, the father, and the hus-
band prays."
Mr.. J. A. Chapman writes that he
and Dr.. Welch visited another Cow
enanter, graveyard. It was mis-
take, it was Head Springs; the mem-
bers Of the old Covenanter church
joined the A. R Ps. at Head Springs,
where they could sing the old
Psalms.
The Covenanters all set their faces
against slavery. David Boyd, a
revolutionary soldier, who was a
patriarch of the church, set his slaves
free, but from their want Of thrift
took them in charge and cared for
them. The two Boyds, John Of
Ballemand, and John, called Buckles,
I think, moved away long ago. Of
Davies sons, Thomas lived on Bush
river. and from Chancellor Johnstone
we learn, was an elder in 1922, in the
Presbyterian church at Newberry.
His daughter, Mary, was one of the
handsomest, loveliest girls I ever saw.
Yes, she was handsome, vivacious,
and intellectual.

Judge Franklin. an eminent law

would have no tombstones erected
over the graves of his departed ones,
and ordered none to be placed on his
own grave, for that man passes
away and his name perishes, telling
no tale but that such beings had
been and had perished and that tomb

David A. Crosson would have none
erected over his family. Grandfather
Spence provided one each for his
two children, but he would not per-

Ton Poor to be a Bankrupt.

Bankruptcy is word that means
the limit of financial misfortune to
most business men, but 1t isn't the
limit by any means. This truth was

States commissioner:
Mr.. Cassin was approached by a

grown slippery in some spots ana
frazzled in others. He wore a care

haircut on his face.

200 to 500 pounds Of available plant
food?
That you pay for and pay freigh hit on

Then II this be true, and 1t Is, why

l am prepared to furnish you with

and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques-
tions and excuses it seemed as If they
never would get to the actual trial Oh

German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up, the judge was
exasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
What is it?" demanded the judge.

is the prisoners box"
But. Shudge," persisted the little
German: II don't speak good English
"You won't have to speak any at
ALL" said the judge. Sit down.
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
"Shudge," he said, Il can't make

It was the judges chance to get even

Neither can anyone else" he said

Except for less than a score OF
pieces, the watches, rings and orna-
ments had all melted and run togeth-

safe. The inside of the heavy doors
was not even scorched, and yet every
wooden drawer in the safe was in

CURIOUS FIRE STORIES.
Some Odd Incidents That Came to
Light In Baltimore.

Light In Baltimore.
Odd incidents Of the big Baltimore
fire are coming to light, says a cores
pondent. Here are some of them:
William Musser, a farmer on the
Belair road about seven miles beyond
the eastern limits of the city, brought
to town the other day 100 pounds OF
Sumatra leaf tobacco and is $42 richer
by reason of the fire. To R. Cuzzoni
the cigar maker, to whom he sold the
tobacco, he explained that it had been
blown over his farm, together with
cinders, on the Sunday evening of the
fire. The tobacco came from a big
warehouse in this city which was burn
ed. In the main it was but slightly in
jured.

Like all old cities, the business por-
ton Of Baltimore, especially the ware
houses near the harbor, was overrun
with rats. Police officers and firemen
who were on duty in the lower district
say that at times on Sunday and Mon
day the rodents would pour out Of
buildings in regiments and go gallop-
ing toward the river. Since the fire
not a rat has been seen in the burn
ed district nor Immediately adjacent.
1t is also estimated that more than
thousand cats lost their lives in the
burning warehouses.
It is estimated that about $4,000 in
paper money was destroyed during the
rush of flame. Several incidents of
finding the charred remains Of bank
notes have been made known at the
Sub Treasury.
The most peculiar one made Capt.
William Ross of the oyster pungy
Mary Ross the richer by 500. The
Mary, when the fire began to come
down Pratt street, was towed out into
the stream and her sails hoisted.
Seven miles below the city Capt
Ross found on the deck of his craft
black piece of paper. 1t almost crum-
bled at the touch of his hand.
Noticing that it was as1OO note, he
carefully lifted it with a case knife
and kept il flat in a book. The genu-
ineness of the note was so apparent at
the office of Sub-Treasurer Dryden
that it was redeemed.
The office cat of the United Elec-
trio Railways company, which had Of
fees on the tenth floor of the Conti-
mental Trust building, has been found
wandering about the Quilted structure.

door, every inflammable article in the
