FIND TREASURE OF A KING
Hoard of Gold, Ivory and Precious
Stones Lies Hidden in
African Soil.

Treasure hunting continues to
occupy the attention of many PEG
pie in various parts of the world.
A hoard of buried wealth not as
well known as certain others is
that supposed to have been Sc
GREETED by Lobengula, king of the
Matabele in South Africa, before
he met his death at the hands of
the British. This treasure is said
to consist of gold, ivory and pre-
ciOus stones. 1t was brought into
the limelight of public notice not
long ago by the arrest of a Dutch
man named John Jacobs. He ar.
rived at Bulawayo, told some
thing of his plans, was put into
what they call the goal" and has
since been deported.
Lobengula succeeded his father
as king Of the Matabele in 1870
and boldly opposed European civ.
ilization. He made BulawayO his
capital. After the discovery Of
gold in his territory in 1872, Por
tugal, the Transvaal and Great
Britain strove to win the supreme
control over Lobengula's king
dom. In 1888 he signed a treat,
with Great Britain, admitting he
suzerainty. In 1898, provoked b,
the insOlence of the British Soutl
Africa company, he attacked tn,
English. He was terribly beaten
His capital was taken and in hi
fight he himself was killed.
John Jacobs, the treasure seek

The Associated Press claims to De
in a position to make the positive an
nouncement that the Gar of Russia
has issued an order for the election OF
a parliament this summer, to hold
session beginning in September.
This is the best result Of the war.
The power Of the mobiles 10 Russia is
believed to be great enough to pre-
vent any wild or extravagant action
by this parliament, such as character
lied the states. general of France at
the beginning Of the revolution. In
fact, Russia will at that time have no
constitution and the parliament no
power. But parliaments always grow
in power-grow as rapidly as the
capacity Of a people for s~elf-govern-
ment increases. Once the people are
given a voice in the government
a gradual revolution is on destined
in time and at the proper time to
overthrow the autocratic system.

The trial Of John A. Lee has been
postponed until June 26th-the date
set for the Fsrris and Smith cases.
Attorney General Hadley insisted on
immediate trial when the case was
called Wednesday, but the %prosecut.

the delay, because, he said, Lee had
promised him in writing ito testify
fully 10 the Farris and Smith cases.
Judge Davis told the prosecuting
attorney that If the postponement
asked for was in good faith and II Lee
was to be tried after testifying there
could be no objection; but if Lees
case was to be dismissed after testify
lug against Farris and Smith and in
consideration Of such testimony, II

The effort to shake responsibility is
one Of the characteristics Of our
time. Instead Of recognizing the fact
that SIN makes q fool Of a man, too
frequently we place the responsibility
of our sinful and licentious lives upon
the law Of nsture or the influence OF
society. A man comes into the world
by himself and by himself he must
stand in judgement before God and
