ing that he had accepted the invita-
ton and will come to Anderson either

The idea Of inviting Mr.. BRYAN TO

address, originated with Mr.. Burnett
and the late Chas. s. Sullivan.
Mr.. Bryan's subject has been cho.
sen as "The European War and the
Lesson in it for U.s." This is decid-
ediy the best Of Mr.. Bryan's lectures
according to number OF persons
who have heard him speak many
times. 1t is the question which
caused him to resign from his posi-
ton as Secretary Of State Of the Uni
ted States.
Owing to the nationwide reputa-
ton of Mr.. Bryan, a great crowd is
expected to be in Anderson the day
OF his lecture. Preparations are be-
ing made to have seats for over one
thousand in the college auditorium.
There will be something like 500 Of

DEATH IN FIRE TRAP BUILDING.
II Bodies Taken from SheIl-SchOoI
Children Trapped.

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 2S.-Twenty-
one burned and crushed bodies al
ready have been taken from St.
Johns Parochial School by firemen
following the disastrous blaze early
to-day. K is predicted that the
number will be doubled when all of
the panic-stricke children are re-
leased from the smoke-filled hall
ways.
More than 600 children were vt
classes when the fire started. The
flames spread rapidly and the chill
dren on the top floor met a dense
cloud of smoke as they tried to de-
scend. Most of those on the lower
floor escaped, but many were tram
pied upon, and others were over
come by smoke. 1t is believed that
many were killed on the top floor
when they jumped from windows.
The bodies Of three children were
jammed in a front door, preventing
the firemen from entering there.
Many children were crushed trying
to escape through the main hall.
The school was a mere shell with
no fire escapes. The doors, all of
which were wood, opened on the in
side.
The flames are supposed to have
started in basement. According to
some, a steam-heating boiler eXplod-
ed, causing the fire, but there is
doubt as to the exact origin.
A large percentage Of the children
were Of foreign parentage. Many
Irish and Italian tiremen fought from
ladders raised to the windows. Po-
lice cleared the vestibule, but the
bodies Of the dead were generally
burned beyond recognition. The first
alarm brought a hundred mothers to
the scene and soon they were Joined
by other relatives until great crowd
of hysterical men and women broke
through the police lines in efforts to
reach the children.

called a Christmas story exactly,
but hope it may interest most
Of your readers.
In April 1909 | saw junction

being on a lecturing trip to the
Pacific coast; in June 1911 | again
visited this place as speaker at a
celebration; at both occasions [
was taken out on a sight seeing
trip a few miles in the country,
and | made up my mind that this
looked as near the Garden of
Eden as anything | had ever laid
my eyes on before. Farms of
twenty or forty acres were
neighboring everywhere, fine,
we'll kept orchards on every farm,
substantial living houses, a dozen
palatial residences, fine lawns
with all kinds of flowers, climate
perfect.
1t was certainly a Paradise to
look upon, but to a perfect Para
disc belongs a serpent, as we all

to locate that serpent if | ever

And the chance came this
spring.

commenced to look for the rep
tile; it was here alright.
The farmers are not satisfied.
They are probably not satisfied
anywhere, but here they seem tc
have some good reasons for their
dissatisfaction.
Let me tell you a little of the
history of this place.
Juntion City is located in the
famous, fertile Willamette Valley
about forty miles from the ocean
In the middle fifties the valley
was discovered by a number
of land grabbers' they home
steaded all the land they coult
by hooks and crooks, they bought
some more from the Government
for little or nothing and they
