GRIEF OVER DEATH or EMPEROR
THE CAUSE


Toxic, Sept. 14.--General Count
Marosuko Nogi, supreme military
councillor. and his wife, the Countess
Nogl, committed suicide following the
religious ceremonies in connection
with the death Of the late Emperor
Mutsuhito.
The aged general and his wife were
in the procession following the en-
perors body, the general holding one
Of the places of honor among the
mourners.
The suicide OF General Nogi. who
won fame in the war with China and
even greater fame in the war with
Russia, 10 believed to be an expression
Of the generals grief over the death OF
the emperor.
This is the customary method In
Japan to express grief over the death
of q national ruler.
General Nogi was in command OF
the Japanese forces in the capture OF
Port Arthur and at the battle of Muk-
den, the decisive engagement OF the
campaign. In that campaign ne lost
his two sons in battle. He was captain
in the Civil war in 1877. He was com
mander of brigade at Kin Chow ana
Port Arthur in the Chino-Japanese
war For his services he was created
baron and was appointed governor
of Formosa.
He spent some time in private life'
but at the outbreak OF the Russo Japa-
nese war in 1904 he was promoted to
general.

KANSAS TROOPS RUSH TO TEXAS
Four Trains Used to Gain TIme-of-
ficers and Men Prepared for
indefinite Stay. Il

Junction City, Kan. Sept 14.-SmaH
trains and high speed were the order
when the thirteenth cavalry left Fort
Riley for Ell Paso, Tex. Four trains
are being used in transporting tne
troops to the border and the railroads
will hurry the troops to their destina-
tion.
Each train is equipped with a kitcn-
en- car to prepare the meals. The troop
cooks travel with the men, and plenty
of supplies are being carried.
That officers and men believe the
STAY in the field will be a long one IS
shown by the fact that many OF the
officers families have packed their
household goods and will visit with
relatives until the regiment is settled.
MANY of the married non-commis-
stoned officers and enlisted men are
following the same plan. The officers
generally believe that the regiment
will see active service and are prepar-
ing for an indefinite stay in the field.
The following organizations made
the trip: Thirteenth cavalry, including
three squadrons, Headquarters, ma
chine gun platoon and regimenfai
hand. pack train No 10, wagon train
and hospital corps detachment.

as were stephen and Paul because OF
their efforts to carry the gospel to
those who would not receive 1t, the

A series OF sermons on "Dishon'

doers, we're not well received by the
uncouth mountain folk. The truth
hurt. At first there were angry pro
tests against the text. Then there
were threats. The minister held to bis

HE held circuit meeting at Fry's
schooIhouse in the mountains. He laid
especial stress upon his subject. There
were mutterings at the meeting and
faithful parishioners sought to warn
the pastor. He struck out for home
alone in the dusk.
When he reached a lonely pass near
Muddy creek mountain the shower oil
stones began. There was no shelter
so the pastor took his persecution
calmly. After he had been felled the
mountaineers used clubs and left him
for dead
The attack was not the NArst. Dur
ing the campaign against dishonesty
he had been struck by missiles fre
uuently, but without severe conse
ouences. Each attack was from am
bush, the heavy shrubbery along the
mountain roads shielding the as
sailants.
The last assault was the direct
cause of his death at his home al
Ausbury. Greenbrier county. A heavy
stone crushed his skull and since the
attack his death has been only q mat
ter Of hours.
Assailants Escaped.
The identity of the assailants Is II

threats Of rough crowd In from
of the schoolhouse and may be able tC

LET there be light" was the uni
versal sentiment at the meeting OF
the business men and citizens OF
Solomon last Friday evening. About
so business men and representative
citizens met at the council chamber
to discuss the light proposition and
hear the report of the committee
that had been appointed some time
ago to ascertain the sentiment OF
the people at the present time with
reference to voting bonds for the
construction of a light and power
plant. The universal sentiment was
TO have lights and have them now
There was not a dissenting voice
against the proposition or differ
ence OF opinion except in the plan
Of service.
Many favored the plan OF secur-
ing light from some nearby city in
stead of putting in a plant as IN
the case Of Hope where the lights
are furnished by the plant at Her,
ington and the current is furnished
at &c per killowatt for "a houi

The Herington high school boys

consent of their parents and keep

cided by the board of education at

ter of football came up before the

should not be allowed. Learning
the attitude Of the board, the boys
who are particularly Interested lin
football came to the meeting last
Thursday night and asked forGaa
hearing. They made very adroit
and effective plea. They say 1t was
true that some of the boys had neg
lected their work but If they were
given chance this year they woald
keep up their studies. They said
that boys would rather havS aiy
sport eliminated than football The
board then took up the question
and decided that the boys could play
provided they got the written con-
sent Of their parents and maintained
