The Emperor Progressing FavOrahTy-
Unabated Excitement Through
fha Ennmkpv

BERLIN, June 3.-EmperOr William slept
quietly last night. His worst wound is in the
wrist, the arteries having been severed. and
he Is weak from loss Of blood. He is able to
talk comfortably and is cheerful. The fever
which had been apprehended has not appear
ed, and his physicians consider his progress
satisfactory and encouraging. The excite
ment throughout Germany over the attannt-
ed assassination of his Majesty is unabated.
All the PruSsian royalty are fastening to
Berlin to personally express to the Emperor
their sympathies over the attempt upon his
life and congratulations on his escape from
death
The would-be assassin Modelling, in his ex-
animation, confessed to being a Socialist, and
said he intended to assassinate the Emperor
q week ago, as he inferred it would promote
the welfare Of the State if the Emperor was
killed.
All the shots in the Emperor's arm and face
have been extracted, except those in the wrist.
A later examination shows that none Of the
arteries of the wrist were severed, though the
shots are in dangerous proximity to the main
artery.
Modelling will die of his injuries. The phy-
s1clan says he will not probably survive for
ty-eight hours.
The Emperor Progressing FavorabIy.
BERLIN, June Sat $50 p. m. to-day the
Emperor William was resting quietly, and
his physicians report him progressing favor

BERLIN, June 3-The Emperor's physicians
state that some grains of shot are still unex-
tracted from his majestys wrist and all at
tempts to remove them have for the present
been suspended. Eighteen pellets struck the
wrist making painful and dangerous wounds
Ice has been placed on the Emper0rs arm
from the hand to the shoulder, thus relieving
him somewhat from the permanent pain
which he has suffered since the shooting.

other merchants, must try to furnish the
wares which the customers want but il he
wishes to be an educator of society, he must
seek to furnish the record Of such events as
will instruct the community, provoke thought
and awaken the better aspirations of men. 1t
is one of the most hopeful signs of our journ-
alsm that the papers which have achieved the
established IA reputation for trustworthness

be kept of those portions of our papers which
are most sought for by readers it would be
found that the items of neighborhood news
are read by twice the number who read the
editorial comments. If half the intelligence
and culture, which is now expended on the
editorial page were applied to the careful OBJ
