STAND OWNERS TRYING
TO GET up PARADE.

Among the disappointed stand owners and
other sections of the public there is a
strong desire to have a war parade with
Lord Kitchener as the central figure. Such
an arrangement would doubtless attract
many thousands to London. The metropolis
and the country are quite ready to go wild
over Kitchener, but he is likely to endeavor
to dodge any public shows.
Failing, Kitchener, the stand proprietors
have to rely on the Kings first public re-
appearance. which is likely to be a drive
through the streets to the national thanks
giving service. That. however, must be
some time hence, as a man in his sixty
first year. In spite of his wonderfully quick
recovery from the immediate results of
the operation. will probably have to sub
nit to a rather lengthy conva,escence.
What at first sight was one of the most
pathetic features OF the postponement of

Yet, TO use the words of the Westminster

relief"
The underlying suspicion that the doc
tors might fear more than they wrote, the
sensational rumors of his Majestys death,
which continued even so late as yesterday,
and the lack of definite official news COM
bined TO create intense nervousness.
The reference to the wound in this morn

quietude. BY June 30 the doctors are ex-
pected to announce that all danger of any

He had tclephuuod to Judge Hutton of

como tomorrow and give immediate

members of the mob forcibly took the

into the Jail door, with sledgehammcrs
dragged the prisoner from his cell.
Sheriff Williams had arrived in the
meantime. but his protests were net
needed.
The mob took the negro to a point
about half mile east of town, bound
him, piled wood around him and set
fire to it. The negro begged piteously
for his life, but the mob turned deaf
