Commissioner of Iowa. He served in that
Office a short, although very successful
term, but geographical conditions pre-
vented his renomina ton. lie served In
the famous 9TH Kans. Cav. during the war.
Gen. Oliver Edwards died at his home in
Warsaw, H., April %, of pneumonia. He
was born in Springfield, Mass, in 1888,
| learned the machinists trade, established

turned to Massachusetts,, and became First
Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 10th Mass.
Later he was promoted to Colonel OF the
| 37th Mass, and was brevetted Brigadier-
General for gallant service at Spotsylvania
| Court House. and Major-General for gal
! lantry at Sailors Greek. He was made a
| full BrigadierGeneral, May -, 1860, but

had very strong position, seven battal-
ions and a regiment with 80 field guns.
The war strength of a battalion is about
LOU men, but we may assume it to be
half that. The Russian force was appar
emily about 5000 or 5000. But if they had
81 cannon they were excessively over
gunned, as one cannon for 1000 men is
usually regarded as a strong proportion of
artillery.
The losses are insignificant for such a
force and the duration of the battle. The
japanese report only 50 killed and 369
wounded, which is incredibly small for a
storming party, and though they claim 1.-THE
enemy retired in confusion" they only
took 40 prisoners. This looks as if this
battle was like those which have preceded
it. The japanese advanced to within &
long-range distance of the Russian posi-
ton, when they began a terrific cannonad,
which continued for hours with limitles.

from active business with a for
tune that is variously estimated at
from $100,000,0000 to $50, 000,-

will be intrusted to his son, j.
Pierpont Morgan, Jr., who has
leased New York house, fur

and others.
Mr.. Patterson and Mr.. Parks were
placed in the private car of Supt. Neff
and brought to Tyler last night, and
they are now at the company hospital
here.
At 2:30 this afternoon Mr.. Parks was
getting along fsvorsbly well, and from
present indications he will get well.
Mr.. Parks was injured about the face,
head and body, and his neck was badly
,wrenched. Several big gashes were
cut in his head, and his wounds are
very painful though not considered
dangerous.
A piece several inches square was
taken from the skull of Mr.. Patterson,
and besides the crushed skull he was
uninjured. The hospital physicians
say there is some chance for his recov-
cry, though he is yet unconscious and
not doing well.
Both Mr.. Patterson and Mr.. Parks
are supposed to have been injured
when thrown from the cupelo of the
caboose, but in what manner cannot
be ascertained at this writing.
The wreckage has been cleared and

SERIOUS WRECK
ON COTTON BELT
The Local Freight Goes In Ditch
Near Pittsburg.

A very disastrous wreck occurred on
the Cotton Belt tracks three miles out
from Pittsburg yesterday afternoon
about 3:15 O'Clock.
Conductor Patterson and Brakeman
Parks both received serious injuries,
but both have chances of recovery.
AS near as can be assertained, the
particulars are as follows:
Engine No. S16, with Engineer
Stocker and Fireman Garfield, pulling
local in charge of Conductor j. B.
Patterson, left Tyler yesterday at IL
a. m. going north.
When about three miles this side of
Pittsburg, for causes unknown three
box cars, two of lumber and one of
soda, and the caboose, jumped the
track and we're carried distance of
three hundred yards, when the caboose
fell off the tracks from a trestle ten
feet high. The caboose was badly
smashed up and the cars were thrown
from an embankment.
The train was running at the rate of
twenty five miles an hour, and it
seems that the quick jerk of derailing
the cars threw Conductor Patterson
and Brakeman Parks from the cupelo
of the caboose. Mr.. Patterson landed
in a small pool of water while Mr..
Parks landed several feet distant on
the ground.
When the train had been stopped,
and Engineer Stocker and Fireman
Garfield had reached the rear end of
the train, the two injured men we're
found in this predicament.
Mr. Patterson's head was under wa
ter, but the fall had knocked the
breath out of him, and the water did
not affect him.
The two injured men were hurriedly
taken to Pittsburg and given medical
attention.
Conductor Patterson was for an hour
or SO thought to be dead, but finally
showed signs of life.
Brakeman Parks was. conscious and
talked freely. -
The news of the wreck came to Ty-
Ter, and, as per orders from Supt. Neff,
a special was made up, carrying along

EVIDENCE ACCUMULATES.
Hanson Is Identified as Having Traded
a Stolen Bicycle.

CfoAh AhuAoooy
The man, Gust Hanson, who was lock-
ed up yesterday morning on suspicion
that he had stolen bicycle from JOS
eph Smith in North Mankato, has been
taken to st. Peter to answer to the
charge.
Hanson claimed that he had sold his
own wheel to George Charland, and
Omaha switchman. When Mr.. Charland
returned at five o'clock yesterday after
noon, from Kasota, he brought the
wheel with him. Mr.. Smith looked at it
and said it was not his. Chief Donahue
then almost concluded to let Hanson go,
but decided to hold him until this morn
ing. He called up Truman and asked
whether any such man lived around
there as Hanson claimed he had been
working for, and was informed that
there.
At about seven o'clock, boy came
into the police station with bicycle. He
had read in the paper about the wheel
being stolen in North Mankato, and said
that he had traded his wheel with a
stranger for bicycle the latter had, and
paid him a dollar to boot. Mr.. Smith
was sent for and recognized the bicycle
that the boy brought back as his wheel.
The boy identified the wheel which Han
son sold to Mr.. Charland Tor 81 as his
wheel that he had traded to Hanson for
Mr.. Smiths bicycle. This Strengthened
the matter out. 1t was apparent that
Hanson had stolen Mr.. Smiths bicycle
and traded it to the boy for the latter's
bicycle and had sold that to Mr.. Char
land.
Sheriff Mcmillan was notified at ST..
Peter and came to Mankato this morning
and took charge of Hanson. Justice
Walrath of North Mankato issued a
warrant charging Hanson with grand lar
ceny in the second degree, in stealing Mr..
Smiths bicycle, valued at $40. The
sheriff took Hanson to st. Peter.
Hanson at first denied that he had
ever seen the boy whom he traded wheels
with, but finally began to weaken as
the evidence piled up against him.
When arraigned before Justice Wal
rath, Hanson said that he was guilty.
He was bound over to the next grand
jury, and his bond was fixed at $500.

CASKET BURIED IN FLOWERS
Remains OF Olive Ruthie Tompkins
Laid at Rest Today.
From Thursdays Daily.

riou 4uuISuay6 Ddily.
How popular among her neighbors and
schoolmates was little Olive Ruthie
Tompkins, was really never known by
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry ID.
Tompkins, until they saw the array OF
floral tokens at the funeral this after
noon, which took place from the family
home, 300 Center street, the services
opening at two o'clock. The remains OF
the little girl lay uncovered in a white
casket, profusely decorated with wreaths
of flowers. There was wreath of roses
and sweet elysiums from the child's
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. F. A.
Wright of Springfield, Mimi; pillow OF
sweet peas, white carnations and Easter
lilies, with the words, cat Rest" from
the neighbors of Center street; another
pillow lettered sour Schoolmate," OF
roses, white carnations and sweet ely
Sums, from the child's friends at the
Pleasant Grove school, where she at
tended as a pupil of the Fourth grade
not many days ago; platter of spring
violets, her favorite flower, gathered by
the children of the second grade of the
Union school under the direction of their
teacher, Miss Margaret May Kelly; a
little basket filled and adorned with
sweet elysiums, white carnations, white
roses and white ribbon, from two life
long playmates of the dead girl, George
and Mile Cameron; and about twenty
five bouquets of variously colored roses
from other friends. Among these was a
large bouquet of roses from the Equitable
Fraternal Union. Nor did the Odd Eel
lows forget their brother in his untime-
ly loss, but furnished retinue of car
riages to convey the family and friends
to Glenwood cemetery, where the inter
ment took place.
The child had lived on Center street
during the past eight years. She had
for many years been afflicted with the
heart trouble which finally resulted in
her death, though her general health was
very good. A physician long ago inform
ed the parents that they could not pos
sibly raise the child to womanhood Yet
the father and mother could not but
hope that she would outgrow the weak
ness. She was really i'll only a few days
before she died.
The funeral service this afternoon was
attended by large concourse of SYM
pathizing neighbors and friends. Rev.
IF. E. R. Miller officiated. The pail
bearers were Earl Van Dusen, Donald
Young, George Wilcox and Merton
