THE DAIIIES GUARDSMEN
FINED FOR ABSENCES

The first military court to be held
in this city for many years convened
at the armory Saturday evening at
$3.50 o'clock when Major T. N. Dun
bar. delinquency court officer of the
Third regiment, Oregon national
guard, presided at the trial Of Pri-
Yates C. n. (Binks) Burgett, Earl
Jarrett, John Kent, John Scherrer,
William Thompson and William Ul-
rich, all members of the local mill
tary company, says the Dalles Chron-
ice.
The men had been summoned to
appear and answer to charges which
had previously been preferred against
them by the company commander,
that of continuous absence from drills
without excuse, absence from annual
inspection and disobedience of orders
Four of the men were found guilty,
and fines of from $5 to $50 were i'm
posed. John Kent being out of the
city, failed to receive a summons,
and his case was postponed. Ulrich'
was acquitted.
Since the passage of the Dick"
bill which places the National Guard
upon a regular army basis, the gov
ernment is becoming more exacting
in its demands upon the citizen sold
ier, and the trial last night is a direct
result of this demand for greater ef-
ficiency in the national guard.

KING EDWARD IN
VERY POOR HEALTH

T.ondon-The condition of King
Edwards health is beginning to cause
serious alarm. 1t is not so much
that his life is considered in imme-
diate danger as that he is showing
signs of a general breakdown. An
originally prodigiously powerful con-
stitutIon has hitherto appeared 10
make his majesty impervious to the
effects of work and worry-none the
less genuine because more or less Oh
a social character-as well as OF dis
sipation during his younger days un-
dor which most men would have col
lapsed long ago. There are indlca-
tions now that Edward himself Is
weakening under them, and at his age
there are the gravest fears that per-
manent rally is too much to expect.
The subject is one considering
which definite information Is, OF
course, hard to get. TIE court physi-
clans will not talk at all, politicians
in closest touch with the royal mousse
hold deny any feeling of uneasiness
over the sovereign repedleu hIheoo-
es and to members Of his own fam
ily 1t is practically impossible to OBJ
tain access at all.
News Of the kind has a way OF
leaking sloyly out, however, through
gossipng attendants and in connec-
ton with market doings by men in a
position to know what the court really
thinks. so that pretty accurate guess
es can generally be ventured, sooner
or later when Edward is Ill, as to
the view his medical advisers take
OF his case.
During the winter his majesty has
suffered from an almost uninterrupt-
ed series Of the severest colds from
the contraction Of which no degree
Of care availed to protect him.
The latest report--restlng, too, on
high unofficial authority-is that he
is suffering from a serious kidney
disorder, which makes his colds all
the more alarming.

PICKERING SAYS EARTH
NOT IN DANGER

Cambridge, Mass.-Commenting on
the assertion made recently by DR..
Percival Lowell, that the earth was
in danger of colliding with some large
astral body, and thus be destroyed
Professor William II. Pickering, Of
the Harvard Astronomical Observa-
tory, says that the chance Of such an
event is about "one in one hundred
million, raised to the one hundred
millionth power"
A more possible danger, he added
but nevertheless a highly improbable
one, is that the solar system, In its
journey through space, may come
close enough to some dark body as to
cause disturbance in the orbital mo-
ton of planets and perhaps carry
some Of them, the earth included, in
to space. The entire danger Is so re-
mote. however, that there need be
no particular apprehension about It,"

MAN FOUND ON STREETS
IN DEMENTED CONDITION

F. Dusenberry was picked up on the
street last night by the night officers,
while he was in a demented condition,
and is being held at the county jail,
pending developments in his case. 1t
is possible that his mental alteration
is due to heavy drinking and that he
will recover sufficiently to proceed
on his journey. in a few days.
A card which was found in his pos
session shows he is a cook by pro-
fession and that he is member Of a
union in Spokane. He says he is on
his way home from Hot Springs and
il he RECEIVERS sufficiently he will be
allowed to proceed on his way. Other
wise he will be held and examined
as to his sanity.

BURIAL PERMIT ISSUED.
After Being Delayed Because of Ab-
sence of Health Officer.

After being held for two days, a
burial permit was issued this morn
ing for the body of Mrs. Mary Jar
ranze, who died recently at the home
OF her daughter, Mrs. Peter Van ors-
dali, on West Court street. Because of
her faith in Christian Science no ply
sician was called for the deceased
during her illness and for that rea-
son the burial permit was held up
pending an investigation.
County Health OFFICER McFhul
made an investigation and decided
that owing to the condition of the
body the permit should be issued so
that interment could be made today
otherwise the body would have been
held until DR.. w. G. Cole, who is city
health officer. returned from Salem
An near as could be ascertained, the
cause of death was diabetes and 9TH
er troubles incident to old age.
