WAR IS AWFUL.
A man wbo fought all through
the civil war and saw and felt its
horrors, recently w rote of them as
follows:
We hud been fighting in the
edge of the woods. Every cart-ridge-box
hnd been emptied once
or more, and one-fourth of the
brigade had melted away in dead,
wounded and missing. 1 We knew
that we were being driven foot bv
foot, and that when we broke once
more the line would go to pieces
and the enemy pour through the
gap. Here comes help. Down
me crowaea nignway gallops a
battery. The field fence is scat
tered, the ammunition chests open,
and along our lines tuds the order,
"Give them one more volley and
fall back to support the guns."
We have scarcely obeyed, when
boom! boom! opens the battery and
jets of fire jump down and scorch
the green trees under which we
fought. The shattered old brigade
has a ' chance to breathe for the
first time in three hours as we
form a line and lie down. What
grim, cool fellows those cannoneers
are! Every man is a perfect ma
chine. Bullets splash dust in their
faces, but they do not wince.
Bullets sing over and around, they
do not dodge. There goes one to
the earth shot through the head
as he sponged his gun. Tbat ma
chinery loses just one beat, misses
just one cog in the wheel, and then
works again as before. Every gun
is using fuse shells. The ground
shakes and trembles, the roar
shuts out all sounds from a line
three miles long, and Bhells go
shrieking into the swamp to cut
trees short off, to mow great gaps
in the bushes, to hunt out and
shatter and mangle men until their
corpses cannot be recognized as
human. You would think a tor
nado was howling through the
forest, followed by billows of fire,
and yet men live through it aye,
press forward to capture the bat
tery. We can hear their Bhouts
as they form for the rush. Now
the shells are changed for grape
and canister, and guns are fired so
fast that all reports blend into one
mighty roar. Tbe shriek of a
shell is the wickedest sound in
war; but nothing makes the flesh
crawl like the demoniacal singing,
purring, whistling grape-shot, and
the serpent-like hiss of canister.
Men's legs and heads are torn
from their bodies. A round shot
or shell takes two men out of the
ranks f s it crushes through. Grape
and canister mow a swath and pile
the dead on top of each other.
Through the smoke we see a
swarm of men. It is not a battle
iue, but a mob of men desperate
eoouih to bathe their bavonets in
flame of the guns. The guns leap
from the ground almost, as they
are depressed on the foe, and
shrieks and screams and shouts
are blended into one awful and
steady cry. Twenty men out of the
battery are down, and tbe firing is
interrupted. Tbe foe accept it as
a sign of wavering and come rush
ing on. They are not ten feet
away when the guns give them a
last shot. That discharge picks
living men off their feet and throws
them into the swamp, a blackened,
bloody mass. Up, now, as the
enemy are among the guns! There
is silence for ten seconds, and then
the flash and roar of 3000 muskets,
and we rush forward with bavo
nets. For what? Neither on the
right nor left, nor in front of us a
living foe! There are corpses
around us which have been struck
by three, four, and even six bullets,
and nowhere on this acre of ground
is a wounded man. The wheels of
the guns cannot move until the
blockade of dead is removed. Men
cannot pass from caisson to gun
without climbing over winrows of
dead. Kvery gun and wheel is
smeared with blood; every foot of
grass has us horrible Btain. His
torians write of tbe glory of war.
Burial parties saw murder where
historians see glory.

AWFUL STORM.
Wind and water did terrible damage
Saturday at Galveston, Texas. 1000
people were drowned and killed. The
storm began at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning, and rain fell in torrents while
the wind cut like a knife. The waters
of Galveston bay and the Gulf of Mexi
co met and submerged Galveston to a
depth of ten feet. The electric and gas
plants were (tooled, leaving the city in
darkness. Buildings were wrecked, and
people , were drowned in their own
bouses like rate in traps. There is
bardly a habitable house in the city.
All tbe business buildings are ruined,
also tbe schoolliouset and churches. At
tbe forts nearly all the soldiers are re
ported killed and drowned.
Texas City was also wrecked.

The difference of cost between a
good and a poor baking powder
would not amount for a family's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors' bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In ; fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and . never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money.

here. Tom Ayers predicts that 1000

Postmasters of Morrow county will

THE WAR IN CHINA.
Washington, Sept. 10 Developments
point to a speedy withdrawal of D. H,
troops from China. They will winter in
the Philippines, and be ready to return
to China within a week.
It is reported that tl troops of Ger
many, England and Japan will rr main
in Pekin. .
Viceroy 8l! Sling Slang has received
absolute power to swap terms with the
powers, although no official notification
of the fact has as yet been received bv
the Heppner Chinese wash-houses.
The imperial hourehold ha for some
time been at Pao Ting Fu, and the U. S.
troops will not respond to the invitation
of Germany to make a further offensive
campaign outside of Pekin.
Germany will send 11,000 more men
to China in October.
Shanghai, Sept. 8 Tbe number of
missionaries murdered dining tbe up
rising in China has been 03, whilo 170
others are unaccounted for. Tbe mas
sacre and persecution of Chinese Chris
tians continues everywhere, and it is
said tbe anti-foreign leaders intend to
xtermlnate them.
Li Sling Slang has promised that he
will furnish escorts to the treaty ports
for all missionaries who are still alive
in Chi Li.
The Chinese people seem to believe
that their empress has won great victo
ries and driven out the foreigners.
Chung Li, military commandant at
Pekin, who is held responsible for the
murder f the German minister, has
been arrested and is confined by the
Germans.

COYOTES .GAIN. ,
The bounty on coyotes has been a
good thing, and should be patted on the
back and pushed by the next legislature.
It has caused thousands of the thieves
to be scalped, and between it and the
houndsbf Dave and Willard Herren
and Bill Penland, coyotes have been
rapidly thinned out in Morrow and ad
jacent counties.
At Bill's headquarter ranch it used to
be necessary to lock chickens in tne
safe over night; but during the past
year they luve been safely stealing their
nests all over the ranch.
Oscar Hhafer, the well-known sheep
man, is over to day from Wall krick,
and says that coyotes are again bad
there. He recently poisoned 7 by put
ting strychnine into the heart of an old
pelter just as its sun went down. Coy
otes have just killed 17 sheep for Hen
ry Blabru.
It used to be that scarecrows like tbat
above would keep away coyotes, but
they soon got so that they would come
up and spit on and dampen the old
thing, and cuss back at it and dare it to
chase them. 1
Ccvotes are cute.
Osi-ar Hhafer sayt that the wood rats
have also been bothering him. They
to p with their tails and keep him awake
mgbts. They got up in the rafters and
watch him and sast him while he ie
cooking his pies and ice cream, and tner
say that they were there first.
One of them who stole Oscar's grind
stones and bid them in its nest, and who
assed him particularly bad, looked like
this :
But after being can grit under the tig
ure 4 trap that Oscar set for him that
night and weighted down with bis can
of sour dough and keg of mule shoes,
he looked like this:
BRITON AND BOF.lt.
London, Sept. 10. The War Office
has received a report from Lord Roberts
saying that General Butler, September
7, attacked and captured the Boer's po
sition at Hpitzkop. He adds that the
Boera rotreutod over a narrow causeway,
losing heavily. The British had 13 men
killed and ','5 wounded.
