The life Of such clerk is Il hazardous
one. and there * no chance of promo
ton or of better salaries. 1t is said
that a man who has the head to make
a good mail clerk has no trouble in
mast ering the law or any other pro-
fessions. None of the clerks who
have left the service for profession
has a record of less than % per cent
of correct distribution. which means
that they must keep track of from
10000 to 10000 postofiies and connec-
lions. The clerks have managed not
only to maintain this record, but To

swedes Have New Allegiance.

How such proposal is received by
the Swedes in America may he infer
red from Semi-humorous treatment
accorded 10 it editorially by Svenslla
Kuriren of Chicago. 1t ridicules Il
comparison of a visit of the crown
prince of England to British colonies
with n visit or the crown prince of
found homes and IL new allegiance in
America. 1t declares, however, that
if the kings second son and his wife
do come over to the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton in 1903, as it is rumored is their
intention, they would be warmly well
coined by the Swedish-Americans.
And it goes on to say:
with or without visits from roy
atty or other high class people, we
all have our mother country in low
able remembrance, and no doubt
many of us would assist in the de
Tense of the land of our birth. but
this must be done in way that
would not conflict with our duty and
loyalty to our adopted country"
Rock Island would naturally enjoy
visit from the royal party. The
city's proximity TO st. Louis, the OBJ
jectiye point of the trip, makes it
easy of access and local citizens of
Swedish birth or descent will look
forward to such a possibility with
great interest.

Swedish residents of this city are
much interested in the visit of mem
bers of the royal family of Sweden
to this country during the st. Louis
exposition i'm 1908, or possibly before
that time.
Prince Carl, Princess Ingeborg and
Prince Eugene of Sweden are the
guests expected. News to this effect
has Just been received in this coun-
try, and the royal visit, which has
been rumored as probability for
some time, now seems to be assured.
Prince Carl is the second son of King
Oscar. He is the idol of the Swedish
people, who call him the blue dra-
COON" because of the cerulean color
of the cavalry uniform he loves to
wear. Princess Ingeborg. his wife, is
the daughter of the crown prince of
Denmark and one of the statelicst
and prettiest of the royal women of
Europe. Prince Eugene is the young
est son of King Oscar, intensely

artist in temperament, a character
he inheritS from his father. Swedish
Americans will royalty entertain

Deadly Assault.

Monday night about one O'Clock A.
J. Kayser, OF Hinton, Rockingham

deadly blow with some blunt instru-
ment which may yet prove fatal. He
was found on Greenville Avenue near
Lickliter's factory not very far
from house in which be has been. He
was found In an unconscious condition
by Commonwealth Attorney Braxton
and some other young men who were
returning home from supper.
Their attention was arrested by cries
of murder proceeding from two young
mon who ran by them and away from
the assailed man. Captain Braxton
went to Kayser and his companions
deplored and covered the adjacent
streets. Two young men, professional
cheap horse traders, who are now un-
der arrest and have admitted that they
were the men who ran past Captain
Braxton, returned to where Kayser lay.
These men are M. G.. Reed, aged q,
from Buena Vista, and r. E. billiard,
aged about 20, of Goldman, Roanoke
county, Va. Kayser had been drink
ing all the evening, and with these horse
traders had been at ia house of I'LL fame,
where he boosted that he had more
money than all of them put together.
Drs. E. Lacy Gibson and H. H. Hen
KEEL had Kayser taken to the King g
Daughters Hospital and removed from
his skull the debris Of compound
comminuted fracture yer the left ear,
two and half by three inches, and
even part of the brain matter itself.
Many suspicious circumstances led
to the arrest of Reed and billiard, and
when arrested they refused to make
any statements to the officers. At the
Jail, by advice of counsel. the accused
for a second time refused to talk.
Kayser Is married man with three
children. His condition yesterday
