London, June 25-The London morn
Ing papers refer editorially to the dark
shadow which has fallen over the ma

dihculty in concealing their anxiety
at the danger which will hang over
the kings life for some days to come
They exhort the public to abandon all
Idea OF festvity, and to return soberly
and prayerfully to the duties of every.
day existence as most betting the
dignity of the nation.
The Daily Telegraph says: "The
country will bear one more infection
with ali its sorrow, deprivation and in.
mite untowardness, as 1t has MANY
times before borne troubles which for
the time seemed overwhelming"
The Standard says that the mas.
sage or coincidence from President
Roosevelt will be gratefully accented
as a token that our friends and well.
wishers abroad sympathize with us in
calamity which at best must impose
an unwonted strain on the patience
and fortitude Of the nation"

says that when King Edward was told
that an operation was imperative no

COLLECTOR OF sHELslEA

ment-Had Been a Respected and
Trusted Citizen Ofshelby County

Sheriff A. Kemper, OF shelby county,
yesterday brought John Canadian, of
Shelbina, 10 the %penitentiary 10 serve
two years for enlightenment. The
prisoner was a sad spectacle at the
depot yesterday when brought in from
st. Louis in the custody Of the officer.
Carnahan Is a man of nearly sixty
years Of age, and he felt keenly the
shame OF being gazed at by a wonder
ing crowd as he was hobbled along
with shackeled steps to the peniten-
tiary.
Carnahan had been for years an hon
Orable and trusted citizen Of the city
OF Shelbina in Shelby county, and bad
friends by the score. He was a good
fellow and being a capable man he was
nominated by his friends and elected
to be city collector Of Shelbina. He
was not a man Of large near and the
temptation Of handling money, which
did not belong to him, vas too much,
and falling into evil habits, he, from
time to time, took small sums belong
ing to the city and spent them TO
satisfy his appetite for drink, which
be had allowed to get the better OF
him. When the time came to make his
annual settlement Carnahan found
that he was about 5000 short in his ac-
counts. Not being able to make the
deficit good before the settlement was
had, his pilfering was discovered by
the city officials, and he was placed
under arrest. While awaiting trial hi
skipped out and went to Salina, Pa.
and remained there from the 10th Of
last December until the 18th Of last
March, when a requisition was OBJ
taine6 for his return TO Missouri, ant
he was brought back to stand trial
He was convicted and sentenced a

Your last letter was received some
time ago, but on account Of many

the heart Of the l%nsurrection on the

large part % the population has taken

traps and planning surprises. On a
three days march which ! recently
took, | think I must have passed a
thousand traps Of various designs,
most OF them being pits dug in the
trail and having pointed stakes OF
bamboo in them and topped over
with a light covering Of dirt.
Railways surmount this difficulty by
putting native guides in front They
proceed with great caution, striking
the trail In front Of them with stafIs
which they carry. One Of them,
however, several days ago, did not ex-
ercise the proper amount OF caution
and stumbled into one of them which
was evidently set with poisoned stakes
and he now has a very bad foot. We
are not very far from the town where
