sight to see, but responsive and obedi-

ahead. At this moment double dose
of grape was sent into their ranks,
which scattered their men like whirl-

death went up from our men, together
with EXPLANATIONS of save the infan-

ground and behind which was the in.

spurs were thrown into them when on

were discharged into our faces; horses
and men went down as if they had
been stricken with thunderbolt. But

eRANDPA's STORY TO THE BOYS

"Tell us a story Grandpa" said
George, the eldest of three brothers
who were playing upon the floor one
Thanksgiving eve. Grandpa had been
watching the boys in their games for
the past hour, and was rejecting on
the happy days of childhood, but not
with any wish to return thereto. The
battle of life to him had been fought
and won. and he was now, again, not
unlike an ambitious youth of higher
aims. Grandpa's aims were high, but
they were not communicating with
earthly possessions. Grandpa had a
reputation of being a good story tell
err and loved to entertain the boys in
that way, especially when it illustrat-
ed phase Of life that might prove Of
benefit to them. But he did not feelmuch
like talking, for he had seen eighty
such nights and wished to remain med
itative. But the boys were clinging
around him, and asked again and
again for story saying that some of
the older ones would do and called
for some of them that he had told a
score Of times. So Grandpa under the
pressing situation of the moment said,
Children if you will all remain quiet
I'll tell you a story of ARMY life! ""Now
jim said the eldest. put your books
away and listen to what Grandpa is
going to tell u.s."
st has been many years children
since our peace loving nation began
to feel that internal troubles were be-
ginning to manifest themselves, and
hope, dear boys, that you may never
see such scenes that followed. l was
young then and was quickly inflamed
to state of justice when the ques-
lions of right and wrong had to be de-
cided
Being fond of horses the cavalry
had more attractions for me, so cast
my lot with the horse of war. 1 was
considered a gallant rider and my
mount was that of handsome black
charger; he was a noble fellow, his

and his work perfectly, for in practice
his action and maneuvers were excel
lent. | never felt SO proud in all my
life as when mounted upon him, and
] longed for the day when / could
charge an enemy with him.
But, dear children, the stage Of
human affairs is constantly changing
and it was not long ere our nation was
called to arms and we were sent to the
frontier. Many hardships which
( shall not enumerate were endured ere
we tasted from the bitter cup of war
fare. 1t was on Friday l think thai
tho infantry and artillery had been en-
gagged almost all day and we were
held in readiness for some hours await
ing the word to charge the enemy. Oul
men were falling fast, and as the
smoke from the last artillery fire wa!
clearing away, the enemy was rapid
iy facing us; their pale and angr.

a most horrifying spectacle to behold

FiANcE FAILED TO APPEAR.
Young Woman From Batavia Expected
to be Married in Ottunwa,

to be Married in Ottumwa.
That "the course of true love never
runs smooth" is not only an old adage,
but true one is believed by at least
one person in Jefferson county today.
That person is Miss Sydney Powelson
of Batavia.
Miss Powelson came to Ottumwa
yesterday expecting to meet here the
young man whom she is to marry. But
the young man was not here. After her
arrival Miss Powelson learned some
thing that led her to think that the
missing bridegroom was in Oskaloosa
and so to Oskaloosa she went, leaving
on. the 7:10 Rock Island last evening.
But the worst was not yet, for though
she reached Oskaloosa in safety, the
young man was not there and Miss
Powelson was compelled to return to
this city without him.
When seen this morning by repre-
sentative of the Courier, Miss Powell
son said, Eyes came to Ottumwa to
meet a party, but I have missed him
in some way"
1T was your intention to be married,
was it not?" she was asked.
"Well, yes, If We had been able to
come to an agreement over few dis
puted subjects
Glow did you miss him, do you
think?"
"Well, it was this way. Recently
wrote a letter to him and gave it to
my brother to mail. But it was for
gotten, and so when found out that
the letter had not been mailed, l wrote
him again at Oskaloosa, hoping to
reach him there, but l have no idea
that he received the second letter. OF

Southern Kansas Line of Santa Fe
Tied Up Ten Hours.

The Southern Kansas line of the San
ia F'e was tied up for nearly ten hours
Wednesday as the result of a wreck
four miles south of Colony, Kan, at
about $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning
Train No. 203, southbound, which left
Kansas City at s:45 o'clock Tuesday
night, was derailed as a result of
spreading rails, all of the equipment
leaving the track except the sleeper and
the coach Immediately in front of it,
Fortunately, however, no injuries, fur
ther than slight scratches, were received
by any of the passengers or train crew.
The passengers attribute their escape
to the low speed at which the train was
running. The accident happened on a
straight stretch of track. where the
night trains usually put on consider
able speed but on account of the Slip
perry rails all trains were running slow.
The engineer of the wrecked train esti-
mated that he was not running faster
than fifteen miles an hour when the en-
gine left the track. The enbankment
at that point is rather high, and had
the train been going at high speed all
of the coaches would have been hurled
down with it, with inevitably serious re-
suits
