His Sceptre of a Thousand Jewels
Is Missing for a Time-Flowers

Spccial to the Scranton Tribune.
Lynchburg Va. Aug. 21.-King Rex
and party arrived here today. Des-
pite the fact that King Rex had re-
be made, the citizens gave him a royal
welcome. The horses were unhitChed
from his coach, and a party of young
men dragged it TO the hotel.
In an interview at the hotel. King
Rex stated that the Floral Fete sights
at Saratoga should surpass the beau
ties of the Mardi Gras at New Orleans,
as all the features of the later event
had been forwarded to Saratoga to be
united to the glOries of the Saratoga
Floral Parade. King Rex said he was
to take personal charge Of the combn-
ed events and promised the combina-
tion to make the prettiest sight ever
seen in this country.

here by a story to the effect that King
Rex had lost his sceptre of ten thou
sand jewels, once owned by Julius

the loss scared the would-be robbers
ana caused them to put the sceptre
whore it would be found. King Rex
has now placed a guard of his cour-
tiers on the sceptre day and night and
there is small chance of it disappear
