-Realizing the necessity of try
ing 10 grow trees on the plains of
the western states and territories,
Congress set apart November 26th
of each year to be observed as Arbor
Day. By degrees the schools began
to keep the day for the purpose of
beautifying the grounds. The pub
lie school teachers and pupils of
Bolivar have never been backward
in keeping abreast of the times. On
last Friday afternoon a well pre-
pared program was rendered by the
pupils. The exercises were opened
with short scriptural reading and
prayer by Rev. Neville Joyner, fol
lowed by appropriate recitations and
songs by the pupils, then at the
close of short address by Supt. D.
E. Bishop the friends and patrons
of the school repaired to the cam
pus where four forest trees, dedicat-
ed to Froebel, Longfellow, Jefferson
Davis and n. B. Forrest, one for
each section, were planted with mil
itary precision by the High School
cadets, who looked and acted IL e
up-todate soldier. In the evening
before a crowded house, the follow
ing question was debated: IRE
solved, "That railroads are of more
importance to the present commerce
of the world than navigation" AL
bert Coates led the affirmative in a
lawyer like manner, but the palm
was won by the negative, led by
Isaac White. After the debate a

OPINIONS OF PHYSICIANS.
Noted Medical Men Talk of the Dis
ease and Its Effects.

New York, June 25.-According to
Sir Frederick Treves, vino performed
the operation on King Edward, and
himself one Of the greatest living
surgeons and specialists on abdomi-
nal troubles, the chances of death in
cases of perityphilitis, where alb
scesses form, as in that of King Ed
ward, are about one in three
Sir Frederick Treyes also declares
that the period when death is most
likely to occur, if at all, is from the
fifth to the eighth day. Judging from
the opinions of this distinguished
man, it may be assumed that either
the kings condition has developed
suddenly or he has been very sick
for several days and the physicians
have been attempting to fpatch up"
their patient for the weeks ceremon-
les, says the Times.
What physicians regard as one of
the most exhaustive essays written
on the subject Of perityphilitis is that
of Sir Frederick Treves, published in
a medical work known as the "Sys-
tenn of Medicine Every phase of
the malady is treated in that essay.
The following are scme extracts from
that essay of interest to laymen:
Perityphilitis represents the very
commonest variety of peritonitis and
the remarkable frequency of inflam-
nation in this position is due to the
fact that the appendix is one of the
weakest points within the abdomen.
Peritvphilitis NAV be met with in pa
tients of all ages. Cases have been
recorded in children respectively Z
and Is months old. On the other hand
the great proportion of cases occur in
young adults and the period of the
greatest frequency is between 10 and
20.

EIGHTEEN DAYS ON DOG MEAT
Terrible Hardships Experienced by an
Alaskan Mail Carrier.

Nome, Alaska, Saturday, June II.
(Via Seattle, June >25D-Eighteen
days on dog meat for diet was the ex-
perience cf J. H. Sprague, who
brought in on the steamer Dora
Thursday morning 400 pounds of mail
by the notorious Iliamna route Mr..
Sprague left Iliamna Bay March /,
with the mail consignment and exper-
fenced hardships from which few men
survive. Yet, he says, he did not
mind it, although when he left liam
ma he weighed 185 pounds. When he
weighed himself again at Lind's trad
ing post, he tipped the scales at lis
pounds.
For IA days previous to taking to
dog meat he and the sub-mail con-
tractor, who was with him, man
named McInnis, had lived on rotten
fish. They could obtain no supplies,
heavy storms ON the trans-Alaska
trail having prevented them from
reaching a point where food could be
obtained. Finally they were found
by E. G. Hill of the trans-Alaskan
company and F. Carleson. Hill made
a trip of SO miles and return and Sc
cured some beans, bacon and flour
for the starving men and they were
saved.
Mr.. Sprague accompanied the mail
through to the Yukon and from thence
to st. Michael and Nome.

A ADELlBERATE MURDER.
Investigation Shows That Killing OF
Otto Thiersch Was Planned.

Otto Thiersch Was Planned.
Kalispell, June 25.-Chas. Therri-
ault has returned from Pleasant Val
ley, where he investigated the recent
shooting scrape. His report throwns
light on the matter and indicates q
deliberate INJURED, planned and carried
cut by John Zawadke and VIM. Geah-
Ter against Otto Thiersch, the dead
man.
1t seems the two were waiting on
the disputed land earlier in the morn
ing and when Thiersch appeared
Zawadke fourished a gun in his face.
ordering him to hold up his hands.
Thiersch stopped, fumbled in his din
ner pail for a, gun and Zawadke shot
him in the side. Then Thiersch rose
up and began firing. Zawadke shot
twice more, the last shot taking eff
feet in Thiersch's brain. He fell back
in the wagon and his team ran away.
In the meantime Paul Fredenberg,
who was accompanying Thiersch on
horseback, was being held up by Geah-
ler with Winchester.
After the team ran away the muir
derers flourished their guns in his
face and compelled him to give out
the story that Thiersch had fired the
first shot After the men were ar
rested he told the story as above.
Zawadke and Geahler were arraign-
ed in the district court this morning,
charged with murder. They will
plead tomorrow.

ers after information A curiOusly
Cosmopolitan crowd gathered about
the ratings, awaiting the morning
bulletin, and directly after it was
posted there was scramble to read
the contents. The Prince Of Wales
ling issued.
A Day Of lntercession.
Tomorrow has been officially ap-
pointed a day of intercession for the
kings recovery and in every parish
church in the United Kingdom spec
sial intercessionary services will be
held. The authorities of st. Pauls
cathedral, by request, have arranged
a solemn service of intercession to be
held tomorrow at noon. The general
public will not be admitted. Only
ticket holders to the proposed West
minister Abbey coronation ceremony
will be present. Catholics, non Con-
formists, Jews, Salvationists and 9TH
er religious bodies are all arranging
special prayers, while in the camps
of the colonial and other visiting
troops, be they Mohammedans, sun
worshippers, fire or fetish worship
pers, whether from China, Borneo,
Fiji, Central Africa or Hindustan, or
from the Indian reservations of Cam
ada. the usual hour for prayers finds
them supplicating their diety in be-
half of the king.
AS the day progressed the crowds
around Buckingham palace became
augmented, and the cautious wording
of the early bulletin was much dis
cussed. Soon after p m. a second
bulletin was posted, as follows:
Condition Satisfactory So Far.
'Tke king passed comfortable
morning and his condition so far is
satisfactory.
"TREvEs.
"LAKING,
''BARLOW."
This was regarded as being some
what more favorable and the good i'm
preston which it created was en-
hanced by the arrival at the palace
shortly afterward of the Duke and
Duchess of Aosta, who came from
Dorchester House to lunch with the
royal family. The observers deducted
therefrom that unless the kings con-
dition was fairly satisfactory the
queen would not have entertained the
visitors. for she has been unremitting
in nursing her husband and has hith-
erto been constantly at his bedside.
Thousands of names of visitors
were registered at the palace yester-
day.

London, June 25.-The following
amended bulletin was issued after II
o'clock tonight:
"The king continues to make salts
factory progress. He slept some
hours during the day. He complains
very little of discomfort and is more
4 cheerful. The wound is doing well" ;"
The following bulletin was posted
at Buckingham palace at 1882 p. M:
THE king continues to make salts
factory progress"
At $3.50 p. M, prior to the adjourn
ment Of the house of commons for
dinner, A. j. Balfour, the government
leader, announced that the king was
free from pain and that his. progress
was satisfactory.
At 1850 p m. the private secretary
of King Edward, Sir Francis Knollyis,
said:
His majesty continued to improve
and that everything was going on sat
/ isfactorily."
Physicians Fear a Fatal Result.
I London, June 25-The following
statement was made this afternoon
on the highest medical authority:
Until the tubes now draining the
cavity of the abscess have been with
drawn it will be impossible to feel
certain that the king will pull through.
What his physicians have now to
fear is that peritonitis or hemorrhage
may supervene. There must always
be this danger in such cases. 1t is
a fact that any abscess due to perity-
phlitis may have a fatal issue with
out any warning symptoms All the
indications are often masked until
the postmortem, and there are many
cases en- record where the disease
was only discovered after death from
an extraneous cause such as an acci-
dent.
'At any rate, the kings grave ill.,
ness may invalid him for a long time"
Anxious Suspence in England.
London, June 25, 11:27 a. m-Anx-
ious suspense over the condition of
King Edward VII. is shared, as is evil
denced-. by shoals cf kilograms from
abroad, by the whole civilized world,

tin by the attending physicians at
| 10:3O o'clock this morning, as fol-
lows:
"His majesty was very restless and
4 had no sleep during the early part of

themselves. Considering all circum-

Earlier unofficial reports had been
more favorable than the official medi-
| cal pronouncement. They spoke of
the king as having passed a, good
night with peaceful rest and the an
| nouncement of his majesty's restless
ness and lack of sleep are regarded
by the general public as by no means
reassuring, although court officials
profess satisfaction.
The absence of all mention of the
patients temperature causes much
| comment. It is taken to indicate that
there has been dangerous rise in
temperature. In medical circles the
opinion is expressed that, in the
phrase just quoted, the surgeons are
saying all they can. In fact, the
whole meaning of the bulletin is con-
centrated therein, the rest being pure
