BIG JAP STEAMER
 MISSING
By Associated Press.

TOXIC, Oct. 23-The Japanese liner Hiachi Maru. owned by the Nippon Yusen kaisha Co, is believed to have struck a mIne while on the way to Delgoa Bay, Portugese East Africa. and all on board are lost.
 The liner was due to arrive at Del goa Bay Oct. 2l but she has failed to put in an appearance and has not re- ported since leaving her home port some days ago. The owners have made all possible effort to locate the missing steamer but so far without success.
 It is the belief of the company of ficials here that the steamer has either encountered a mine or has been sunk by submarine attack, although the latter theory is given little credit the general opinion inclining to the view that the vessel has probably strucl, a mine.
 NJ. Onai, the London manager of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, was passen- ger but the full number of the other passengers is unknown to the off : cials here. The Hiachla Maru was one of the larger vessels of the com- pany fleet and was of six thousand tons registry.

OAOF|NO BIDS FAREWELL
TO HER SOLDIER BOYS.

Orofino turned out splendid
crowd to bid farewell to Clearwater
county's men for the National army.
Altho the men left on the early
morning train, the town turned out
enmasse, men, women and children
lined up and marched to the depot,
the procession being headed by the
Orofino band, behind which marched
a seriously solemn lot of people, and
more than one throa. was checked
as the thot of parting brought a
lump to the throat.
At the. depot DR.. Owens addressed
the people, reviewing many of the
causes that compelled this country to
enter the war, and in most conyinc-
ing and impressive manner answered
his own question of why we should
want to go to war. Briefly the DR..
told of the repeated insults our ma
ton suffered; how the German gov
eminent became an outlaw, and an
int irrational criminal, trampling
under the iron heel of ruthless and
~ cd power the rights of all man
kind, outraging the moral conscience
OF civilization. Anne: ica was enter
ing the war in self defence. and TAX
ingg up arms to project our homes
and firesides. Concluding the DR..
appealed to the young men to keep
Themselves pure morally, regardless
of what the world might say; that
they bought not do anything that
they would live to regret and that
would surely rise up lnru conscience
to plague them in after life. Come
back to us as clean morally as you
leave U.S. was the parting advice
uttered in words that carried convic-
ton.
County Attorney Smith started to
say a parting word in behalf of the
citizens of the county, but the train
rolled in and cut the program short
Amid tears and flowers the young
men tore themselves from their rel
atives and friends, pulling out of the
station while relatives wept and
friends shouted a p arting word OF
encouragement.

A Mans Chances In War

Just how many people are anxious
over the young men who are going to
war. A great many mothers feel
that it means almost certain death
for her son to go to Europe. Ii hs-
cures can be trusted. this is not
true. Figures of the lo.'s.s in wal
are not easy to obtain, but they are
known with sufficient approach to
accuracy to enable some general con-
clusion to be drawn.
Babson's statistical organization
has some statistics that should reas.
sure some whose hearts are now grip
ped with fear. That organization
understands that about $50 men out
of thousand are wounded. and a
bout 60 out of every thousand are
killed. This is not high proper
ton. One of the great losses in war
of other times was disease. This has
been very greatly reduced. Some
claim that a man at the front is less
liable to disease than If at home
working in city. There is also
wonderful improvement In the hand
ling of gas and other hideous forms
of attack. Men who are careful can
protect themselves against these
things. The real danger comes in
charges. Wounds received at other
times are for the most part in the
arm or shoulder. which can be easily
healed, or in the skull. The skull
wounds are naturally serious. En-
cept for the one or more days
month when 1t is his time to charge.
a man at the front, is statistically.
almost as well off as in the streets of
New York.
1t Is reported the United States
will use an. enormous amount Of ar
tillery in the army and this will aid
in reducing the number of men kill
ed and wounded. Also as our armies
increase and outnumber the entente
armies a man will have greater
chances, for his turn to charge will
be less often.
1t would be cruel to arouse false
hopes, but 1t is not false hopes to see
a reasonable chance for a safe return
on the part of the men who are going
to fight our battles for liberty and
democracy
War is grim and terrible enough
without wild exaggerations Of its
perils and sufferings. Always its
chances leave q good balance on the

for a system of conventions for the

AItho the senate was in session until
after 1 o'clock Sunday morning there
was no rush to clean up the calendar
before II o'clock. 1t was mostly
horse play after that hour. All bills
in which the majority of the senate
was interested were disposed of before
midnight. That was the last hour for
the consideration of original bills and
the senate cleaned them up easily.
After midnight, altho the senate
of Shawnee and Senator Barr of
Bourbon discovered that two local
bills in which they were Interested
were still on the calendar. The Schoch
bill merely provided for both a day
and night jailer at the Shawnee
county Jail.
Senator Nighswonger had already
called the turn by disa greeting with
the Senate clock. He maintained if
was after midnight and that the SEN
ate must adjourn. BY unanimous
consent it would have been possible
passage of bills. Senator Nighswonger
finally agreed and Senator Schoch
moved that his bill be taken up and
acted upon by unanimous consent.
Senator Terrell, Chautauqua, objected.
That started a program that con-
tinued for an hour. Schoch would
move that his bill be considered. Fer
rell would object, then Senator Nighs-
wonger would move to adjourn The
senate would vote down the ad iourn-
ment motion and the program would
start all over again. After a dozen
such motions had been made and de-
feated the Schoch bill and the Barr
bill were placed in final passage
Every senator, except the authors,
voted against them. But the records
vote.
Then the house adjourned and paid
the senate visit. A NJ. Keene,
speaker, was conducted to the bar of
the senate by the sergeant at arms
and compelled 10 make a speech.
Representative Endres of Leavenworth
was also compelled to climb to the
presidents platform and initiate GER
tain house members. The final mo-
ton to adjourn was voted down
UNANIMOUSLY but President Morgan
smlllnsly held that it carried and the
Joint session broke up.
