DR.. Cyrus Edison Of New York exp'1in-
ed the Kings Illness and the operation as
follows:
"Perityphlitis is Inflammation, including
the formation Of an abscess Of the TISSUES
around the veriform appendix. Hence
perityphlitis is hard TO distinguish at
cnee from appendicitis. Usually an OPP
GRAFTON is necessary 20 ascertain whether
the appendix or the surrounding tissue Is
diseased. In the Kings case the opera
ton was an immediate necessity because
The abscess had to be reached and sly
tied Of its contents. or pus."

No Date for Coronation.

His majesty, under ordinary conditions,
was not looked upon as a good subject
for an operation, and though the King
passed successfully through the ordeal
it is believed that four or five weeks must
elapse before he will be able to undergo
the arduous labors of the coronation cere-
monial Therefore no date can yet be
indicated for carrying out the coronation.
The news that something was wrong
with the King spread like wildfire at first
as a rumor on the Stock Exchange about
noon. 1t then ran like wildfire through
the city. Half an hour later confirmation
came in the form of All official bulletin,
VIII Oh the Kings private secretary. Sir
Francis Knollys, issued from Buckins-
ham Palace. The Lord Chamberlain per-
soDally took the message to the Lord
Mayor. who had it posted on the Man
sion House.
Great crowds struggled goout the bull
letin and read the news with heads un-
covered. London was staggered by the
suddenness of it all. PIT articularly as an
absolute denial that his majesty was Sc
riously i'll was issued on Saturday by Sir
Francis Knollys.
Hundreds of dinners, balls and enter
tainments were indefinitely postponed,
the invitations that had been issued be-
ing hurriedly withdraw. There will be
no public entertainments until the King
is out of danger and no elaborate private
affairs. The preparations for the fes-
tivities ended as suddenly as if death had
interviewed London had never been so
gay, had never planned SO many or SO
extensive entertainments. Now all these
are ended and a feeling of gloom and
sadness is over the whole city.
No date is now intimated for the coro-
nation, but it win he several weeks ere
the King RECEIVERS, if he ever does. 1t is
known that the King is not strong. His
liver and stomach have been disordered
for several years while it is strongly
suspected that he is suffering from
Bright's disease. With man in the
physical condition of the King it is SIMS
ter that the greatest physicians in the
land decided to operate on him. 1t means
that the King is very grayely i'll. despite
the thinly yelled official bulletins.

GOVERNMENT REPORT
 CREATED NO SENSATION.

The government cotton prediction, says T. H. Hutchinson, the manager of the Taylor Commission Company, speaking to a reporter for the Little Rock Gazette was not the sensation Whenft was announced at the board of trade Wednesday at Il o'clock that it was year ago. In the latter case the bears became active at once, and the market fell 60 points immediately. Yesterday, however, the market fell only 20 points, and soon recovered twelve of them, the close being only ten points below the close of tbc day before. The government estimate was 10, 0,417 ,000, which was not far from what the average estimate in Little Rock has been all the time The government report, says MT. Hutch
 inson, is gathered from every part of the South from individual estimates of certain sections. Hundreds and hundreds of these estimates are re- ceived from any one who cares to send them, as we'll as from instructed agents, and the grand average is taken. The secret of the estimates is preserved with zealous care by the government officials. The figures are not made up until within few min utes of the announcement in the New York Cotton Exchange, at noon, which is Il o'clock in Little Rock. It would be an obvious advantage to any cotton broker if he knew at axactly what moment the market would fiuctuate, either up or down, and were it so known millions could be made by the scratch of pen.

 Coroner Frank Harrison of Tucker man was called down and after an ex- animation of the body, pronounced death due to natural causes.
 Dr. J. M. Jones as county judge re- fused an appropriation for the dead mans burial and the Iron Mountain officials instructed Agent Reamey that their responsibility had ceased after conveying the negro to the point called for by his ticket.
 Thursday afternoon, paper was drawn up for subscriptions and it is probable that the deceased will be buried by private contributions.

OVERFLO w CUTS AROUND DAM.

The recent rise in White river has played havoc with the dam at lock No. 1, just below Batesville says the Bee. The tremendous force of the high water current cut into the bank at the end of the concrete abutment at the south end of dam and the channel of the river has changed around that end of the dam. The dam structure proper was not injured, but it will cost $50, 900 or $4O,OOO to do the work necessary to bring the channel under control again. No blame is att tached to Capt. Parkin or the men under him for the disaster, as they did the construction work faithfully by the plans and specifications furnished from the office.

DEATH OF LUIN MARTIN.

J. Luin Martin, son of Mrs. J. Nj. Cook, departed this life last Friday evening, November 18th, 1902, at the home in Batesville, after an illness of illness which he bore with great for titude he was most tenderly nursed and cared for by his mother and his step- father, Mir. J. M. Cook, and his brother, sister and cousin. The par ents took him to Texas and then to Colorado where they hoped for bene- fit from change of climate, but all that loving care and medical skill could do was unavailing. With sor- rowful hearts they brought him home from California in a special car on the 24th ult., realizing that the end was near.
 Luin would have been P years old in January, and was in the promise of young manhood, which had before his illness seemed so bright. He was most ahable and popular and his friends were numbered by his ac- quaintances. All of them share the grief of the relatives and the sincere sympathy felt with them comes from the whole community.
 The funeral services were from the residence Tuesday afternoon, conduct ed by Rev. J. M. Hawley.-B Batesville Bee.

Gathering Of Methodists Of White River Conference At Paragould- Bishop Hoss Appoints Inves tigating Committee-Offi-
 Cers Elected.

Paragould, Dec. 3.-The White river conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, convened in annual session at the Methodist church in this city this morning at g o'clock. ParagOuld is a prosperous and pro- gressive place and will entertain the conference in most hospitable man. ner. This is the third time the con ference has been entertained here. The preachers and laymen are always glad to come.
 Bishop E. E. HOss, one of the most intellectual men and strongest preach CTS in the South, opened the confer ence with religious exercises. This is the fifth conference over which he has presided since his election to the bishopric last May. He has given very general satisfaction thus far and l promises to be one of the most popu- lar of the ten active bishops of the church.
 Dr. z. T. Bennett was elected secre- tary and w. M. Wilson, N. E. Skinner 5. H. Babcock, Jr., and F. M. Daniel assistant secretaries.
 i Helena and Paragould districts made splendid financial reports. Both these districts report all assessments order ed by the conference paid in full.
 The pastors of the various churches of Helena and Jonesboro districts had their characters passed and made their reports, which were perhaps on the whole the best ever reported in these districts.
 The character of Rev. k. k. Durham was arrested and a committee of three were appointed by the bishop to make investigation of charges and report to the conference as early as convenient. The bishop appointed the committee for the trial of Rev. E. H. Wallis, who has been under suspension from the ministry for about three weeks on the charge of falsehood
 One of the most noted men among the delegates is Rev. Geo. Brinsfield of Widener This venerable preacher was born May f, 1901, in North Caro- lima. After reaching manhood in his native state he emigrated to Georgia, where he resided for a number of years, there meeting and wedding his { first wife. He came to Arkansas thirty four years ago and has resided in lzard county. He is local preach CT, and one whose name, when called
 is pronounced by the bishop, "char- acter good" without questions being asked or danger of arrest. This pat riarch, who has lived in two centuries speaks with strong voice and cal

NEGRO SAVED TRAIN.
Cousin of Man Lynched at Wynne Last Week Borrowed Red Dress
 and Tagged Cannon Ball.

Augusta, Ark, Nov. 27-The north bound cannon ball train that runs from Little Rock to St. Louis would have been wrecked at a point between Jelks Station and McCrory, nine miles east of here, Wednesday had it not been for Iolly Jackson, a negro, kinsman of Lige Wells, who was lynched by a mob at Wynne, Ark, last week for cutting and attempting to kill Con duCtOr Campbell. There was q wash out on the main line and the cannon ball went over the Bald Knob branch of the Iron Mountain to Wynne and from there north via KnOble to St. Louis two hours ahead of the cannon ball on regular time. The Memphis & Bald Knob branch passenger train broke rail about a half mile east of Jelks, and Folly, who lives near and was walking down the track to Me Crory, made the discovery and pro vided himself with a neighbours red dress and Jagged the train. The ne- gro seems to be very proud of saving the train, which was well loaded with passengers, and the strange part of it all is that the opportunity fell to him. Folly and Alex Wells lived together all last year, their wives being cous- ins.
 Certainly the railroads have no fear of such heroes as Zolly Jackson doing them damage now
