To Consumers of Natural Gas.

In answer to many inquiries, the

from the nature of the country it
has been a difficult and costly un-

Few conflicts have exceeded in
fierce fighting those waged between
the Bulgarians ard the Turks. The
reason is not far to see. The bat
ties between the opposing forces
have been personal conflicts. Ev-
cry Bulgarian saw red when he
faced Turk. He went into the
fight with a personal hatred, not
only against Turkey as nation,
but against every individual Turk.
He would have liked to settle the
matter in a personal combat. He
personally had suffered from Turk
ish oppression and he personally
longed to square things by assault
on the person of a Turk. This is
the reason why the Bulgarians
fought with such Berserker rage,
such reckless courage, such entire
abandonment of self. The OPP
pressed at last had chance to even
things up with his personal OPP
pressor. And the war is, where
the individual Bulgarian soldier is
concerned, war for a woman. On
the border no Bulgarian maiden
was safe. When the morning
dawned she awoke happy over her
betrothal to some sturdy Bulgarian
lad. When evening fell she graced
some Turkish harem and the sturdy
lover, killed by Turkish soldiers,
lay in the field which was to fur
nish them means for little home.
Religion also plays its significant
part in the strife. 1t would be a
beautiful fact, of course, if one
could correctly picture the Bulga-
rian as the ideal Christian, faith
FULLY following the dictates OF the
Master. The Bulgarian, however,
is probably like the average man
everywhere else. He takes his re-
ligion as passively as he goes to
bed every night. Let man try
to prevent him from the more or
less formal exercise of his relig-
ious beliefs, however, and he be-
comes like lioness about to be
deprived of her whelps. Anyone
who visions the Bulgarians as the
ideal Christian because he is now
fighting for Christianity would
meet with a rude shock if he lived
for while among the fierce enc
mics of Turkey.

Struck By B. & 0. Passenger
No I Which Was Late
And Running Very Fast To
Make Up. Time
The Remains Brought To
This City For Burial

Lorin Dial, a stone mason, SIS
years of age, Of 20 Marion street, this
city, was struck by q. & o. passenger
train No. z, at Utica, ohio, Sunday
morning at about II o'clock and was
instantly killed. He was walking on
the track when the fast train, due In
Mt. Vernon at 1925 o'clock, running
several hours late, approached rapid
Iy and hurled him distance of sev-
eral yards. Few bones In his body
were unbroken.
Dial went 10 Utica on Saturday ev-
ening and remained over night. At
IL o'clock Sunday morning he was
walking on the track just south of
Utica when the accident occurred. It
is supposed that he was waiting for
the afternoon passenger train 20
come home, and that he was walking
backward and forward along the
track to pass away the time, it be-
ing almost three hours late.
According to persons who saw the
accident, the unfortunate man was
making his way along the track when
the train whistled into the village. He
Immediately stepped aside and
walked several yards at the side and
then resumed his position between
the rails. The eye-witnesses say that
when he did this the engine was al
most upon him and the engineer
could not even slacken the speed of
the train, which was brought to a
stop Immediately after the accident.
The man was not mangled by the
wheels of the engine, as none of them
passed over him, but was lifted by
the cow-catcher and was hurled to
the side of the track. The body was
taken to the town hall in Utica and
was later brought to Mt. Vernon to
be prepared for burial at the Chappe-
lear undertaking establishment.
Dial is survived by three sons,
Charles Dial of Cleveland, and Her
man and Earl Dial of Mt. Vernon and
two daughters, Lulu and Teresa of
Cleveland. He is also survived by
four brothers and five sisters.

A day or 80 ago the Banner con-
tanned an item from the Shelby Ciu-
zen to the effect that Superintendent
8. H. Maharry OF the Shelby schools
had been ousted by the board OF edu-
cation. The paper failed to state for
what reason.
It developed that a revival has
been in progress In Shelby for sever
al weeks and Supt. Maharry took q
very prominent part in the religious
meeting. 1t, is claimed that some
members of the school board were
opposed to the revival and because
the superintendent took such an ac-
tive part in the meeting he was dis
charged by the members of the
school board. Supt. Maharry was
formerly Of Centerburg and is well
known throughout the county.
