MARRIED 65 YEARS

Two miles south of this city, in the
same residence in which they went to
housekeeping within few days after
their marriage, live John Farris and
his wife Mary Jane Farris, two of the
oldest and most highly respected peo-
pie of this county. John Farris is in
his seth year, while his wife is in her
Saith year. They were married sixty
five years ago, near their present home
and both belong to prominent pioneer
families of this county. When they
were married the farm on which they
live was in White county, as Putnam
county had not then been organized
John Farris served gallantly through
out the civil war in the Confederate
army, and is a Confederate pensioner.
Both he and his wife are wonderfully
well preserved. They live by them
selves, and his wife does her own
housework and he attends to his work
just as he did twenty years ago. They
are devoted old couple. One of
their sons, j. F. Farris is merchant
of this city Hon. Jere Whitson and
Judge H. d. Whitson of this city are
nephews of Mrs. Farris.
If there is another couple in Ten
nessee who have been married sixty
five years it would be interesting to
know of it, otherwise this old couple
will claim the championship

on talks with Senator Nelson and

German War Craft
Totally Wrecked.
ON FINAL TRIAL TRIP
Admiralty Commissioners and
All Save One on Board Meet
Instant Death.

Berlin, Oct 1S.-The new naval
air near Johannisthal and was com
pletely wrecked.
Twenty-seven persons were aboard
and all but one were instantly killed.
The party included the entire admiralty
trial board, headed by Commander
Benisch, conducting the final trials
prior to the acceptance as part of the
new German aerial navy.
Lieutenant Baron Won Bleul of the
Queen Augusta Grenadier guards, who
was making the trip as a guest, was
alive when picked up, but died in a
short time.
Many Of the bodies were so badly
burned and mangled as to be unrec.
ognizable.
The LIZ was the latest of the aerial
war craft built by the Zeppelin COM
pany for the German navy and was
On her trial trip. Flames were seen
to enyelop the craft from stem to
stern before those on the ground
heard the detonation and then the air
ship crashed to earth.
The Zeppelin LIZ was the only re-
naming aerial cruiser of the German
navy. She was the last dirigible
built. Accident lost two other naval
Zeppelins with great loss of life
shortly after being completed and put
in commission.
Explosion Follows Flames.
The Lr2 was flying 900 feet over
the aviation field when fire enveloped
the great gas bag. 1t was only
short space of time before the spec
tators heard the terrific defamation
and knew that an explosion had been
caused by the fire. The monster bal.
loon plunged earthward like blazing
meteor and the spectators scattered
in all directions to save themselves
from the deluge of fire which came
from her.
This was the sixth Of the air craft
built by the aged Count Zeppelin, pio-
neer of German aviation, that has
come to grief, but only the last three
accidents were attended with loss of
life.
The admiralty commission was
made up of Captain Benisch, Lieu
tenant Commander Freyer, naval off,
GERS; Naval Architects Neumann and
Pietzker and Naval Engineer Busch
They were all killed instantly.
Lieutenant Commander Freyer was
in Command of the dirigible. He was
formerly an aide-de-camp to Prince
Albert, third son of the kaiser.

SPECIAL TROOP
TRAIN WRECKED
Twenty Soldiers Killed and Five
Score Injured.

Meridian, Miss, Oct. 2O.-Twenty
soldiers of the Thirty-ninth and Sew
enteenth coast artillery were killed
and about one hundred others injured
when special troop train on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad crashed through
a trestle near State Line, Miss.
Division Superintendent Pegeford Of
the Mobile and Ohio, in a report sent
to headquarters of the road at Mobile,
gives this number as the extent of the
casualties.
The wreck was caused by the engine
tender jumping the track when about
200 feet from a trestle. The engine
was not derailed and passed over the
trestle.
The tender broke loose from the en-.
CINE, however, and with the baggage
car and three coaches plunged twenty
five feet to the ground:
Sixteen bodies have been taken from
the wreckage and Superintendent
Pegeford said he was sure four more
bodies were in the debris.
One hundred and seventy-nine sol.
diers were on the special train.

CoWARDLY ACTS
Inch Says Vo|turno's Grew Be-
haved Admirably.

New York, Oct. 17.-Francis Inch,
the boyish looking Briton who com.
manded the burned steamer Volturno,
came to port, bringing with him eighty
seven survivors, passengers and crew,
of his i'll starred vessel. His story Of
the disaster, in which 1876 lives wero
lost, had preceded him by wireless,
but in a cabin on the kroonland,
which brought him here, Inch told his
tale in simply phrased and modestly
spoken details that described moro
viyidly than the wireless could pic
ture the panorama of the Volturnos
loss and the rescue of more than 500
of those she had on board.
Cowardice there was none on the
Volturno, either among officers or
crew, Inch said. There was no rush
OF seamen which made it necessary
for him to warn them back with his
revolver. His revolver was in draw
er in his cabin and it burned with the
ship. And no one on board drew re-
volver These statements he intend.
ed should refute the stories told by
steerage passengers who arrived on
the Grosser kerfuerst.
The Volturno's master, besides de.
Tending his own officers and men, said
he had no criticism to make of the
tactics OF any of the boats that stool
by. "The Carmania did its best, the
same as the Others" he said. There
is none but praise for every one" ''

was found in a Chicago hotel room
where lay the body of his wife, con.
fesed to coroners jury that he had
killed the woman and was held to the

University Of Missouri students are
inclined at times to long for . few
touches of urban life. There are
times when they are apt to regard
Columbia a. q tedious place. In
discouraged moments they wish for q
change to relieve the prosaic.
It Is true, Columbia IL q prosy city
II its lack of urban amusements is
considered. This lack, however.
makes Columbia most desirable from
the standpoint Of the University stu
dent 1t provides place free from
attractions that would seriously d.
vert the mind and make study more
difncult.
It Is well to enumerate the advan-
tanges as well as the disadvantages.
There are no street car fares to pay.
The student is shufled In and out
several times each year over q de-
crepit branch line. but he knows
none of the vexations of the regular
commuter. He makes 8 O'Clock
classes, but does not have to run for
an 8 o'clock train. There ia no long
succession of pluvial days such as
those which moisten the clothes and
dampen the spirits of students in
Berkeley and Ann Arbor.
Think of the student in Chicago
who spends several hours each day
being whirled about in street cars to
reach his classes. For city schools
have their buildings grouped about
compact quadrangle.
True, Columbia lacks the carbaret
and changing street cars. Only the
motor bus does a modest part in pro-
viding q little din. It's q quiet and
secluded little city, where the student
can study and .progress in the work
he came to the University to accom-
plish.

IN HONOR OF GENERAL SHIELDS.

IN HONOR OF GENERAL SHIELDS.
Missouri. all too poor in monu-
ments to the memory of its great
men, will have one more monument
If the bill proposed in the state SEN
ate by Senator w. G. Busby, Of Car
rollton, becomes q law. Senator Bus
by's bill provides an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the election Of q suitable
statue Of bronze or stone in the pub
lie or courthouse square Of Carroll
ton to the memory of Brigadier Gen
eral James Shields.
Few Missourians have had a more
and honorable career
than General Shields. No other citi-
zen of this or any state served, a.
did General Shields, as United States
Senator from three states. He filled
with distinction high public place in
Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri and
each of these states in
the United States senate. The ma
tional government erected a monu-
ment at his grave near Carrollton.
Illinois installed his statue in Statu-
ary Hall in Washington. Minnesota
will erect a statue of him in st. Paul
this winter.
His long, useful life, his high char
acter and his public service may well
be commemorated by the statue pro-
posed. The bill offered by Senator
Busby should become a law.
