REEDS WORSHIP WITH KING
With Royal Guest, Ambassador and
Wife Attend Village Church.

SILSOE, England, Aug. 1O.-The
Royal standard floats over Ambas-
sador Reds home at Wrest Park,
and the precincts were the center of
attraction for country people who
came today from miles around. The
King and Queen with the American
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid and sew
eral other guests, attended services
at Silsoe church this morning, and
received an ovation. A guard of
honor composed of several corps. of
boy scouts from neighboring villages
vas drawn up outside the church
and saruted the party when it en-
tered.
Thousands OF spectators, many of
whom came on bicycles, crowded
about the church and swarmed on
fences and trees, cheering the King.
The church was filled with parish
toners and tenants of the estates, the
services lasting an hour. At the
close the choir sang the national an
them and the people outside took up
the hymn. The royal party, on en-
crying found difficulty in forcing a
way through the crowd. Before
returning to the Reid home, the
King inspected the scouts.
The afternoon was showery and
Ambassador Reid had several of the
local gentry in to have tea with the
King.

school district. as 1t was several
miles closer to his ranch than the
one they have been attending. He
was notified that IN proper petition
request will be granted.
Attorney Lockhart submitted a
notice for the proposed $4,000 bond
issue. 1t calls for 20 bonds of ST.
600 each to bear 5 per cent interest,
payable annually, the county to re-
deem four each year. The issue to
be used to take up script and pay
other indebtedness. At the present
time there is between $4,000 and
$4,000 in script registered. Com
missioner Stevens said it was impos-
sible to fix the exact amount of
scrip outstanding, as the books of
the county were burned in the court
house fire at Hamilton. The board
decided that a clause be inserted to
the effect that only script registered
at this time be redeemabIe through
the bond issue. In order to look
further into the matter it was put
over until the first regular meeting
in September.
Local representatives of several
mining companies over property of
which the proposed Hamilton cutoff
will pass, asked the board to furnish
blue prints of the road. Granted.
The district attorney was instruct
ed to make those persons at McGill
Ragdump caught running gambling
games without a license pay the
amounts due. The sheriff was asked
to have all persons found guilty of
this offense arrested in the future
and see that complaints were filed
against them The county should
receive in the neighborhood of $3.50
from the Ragdump gamblers.
Attorney b. J.. Coleman submitted
a written proposal to reduce his
charge for prosecuting the Riepe-
holdup and diamond robbery
cases from S11O0 to 500. He said
he wished an early settlement and
the reduction was not offered be-
cause he considered his services
worth less than the original amount
asked. AS the bill was submitted
Judge Brown for arbitration several
weeks ago, the board informed Mr..
Coleman that a wire would be sent
the Judge, notifying him of tile
proposition made. 1t will be taken
up at the meeting next Tuesday af-
%ternoon.

DARING Work
for Robbery
Discovered

Daring work by some neryy crook
was discovered yesterday while the
plate glass window in the Leader
store on Aultman street was being
washed.
Three holes had been bored in the
glass, one of these being almost
through. The others were not SO
deep.
1t was undoubtedly the intention
of the person doing the work to bore
four holes and then cut the glass
with a diamond, letting 1t fall into
the show window on some wearing
apparel which was displayed, thus
avoiding noise. The hole as out
lined ON the glass would have been
large enough to let a man of medium
build through.
Sam Berntein, proprietor of the
store, stated last evening that the
boring must have been done very
recently. This store was burglarized
several months ago and $50 taken
from the cash register.

LONDON BOILS OVER GEAR.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-A hugh DEM
onstration by the organized labor
party was held in Trafalgar Square
today. to protest against the visit of
the Emperor of Russia to England.
Various women's political leagues

Der watching the rich cargo discharg-
ing, and many of them not realizing
that the dirty leather mail pouches
were filled with yellow metal.
In pokes of dust and bricks, the
rich treasure vas shipped from the
various camps along the Tanana and
Yukon on the steamboat Victorian
of the White Pass and Yukon fleet.
The spring cleanup in Central Ala
ska and the Yukon territory started
long before the river was free of
ice, and the dumps were relieved
of an unusually rich burden this
spring before the first boat was able
tt feel its way against the ice to-
wards Lake lie Barge. On the Vic
torian a heavy armed guard kept
watch day and night to prevent any
possibility of robbery. At White
Horse the gold was shipped by rail
to Skagway thence to be taken by
the Jefferson and rushed to this port
After singing 100 heavy sacks OF
gold out to the dock the consignment
was taken to the postoffice in a doz-
en- mail wagons which were waiting
on the dock. There were some extra
men from the office to guard the
treasure, but the weight of the
pouches, one of which two men could
barely lift, made robbery almost an
impossibflity.
The shipment of the Jefferson, be-
side being the largest ever brought
out, indicates a large cleanup in Al
aska this summer and consequent
prosperity in the North. Mail ad-
vices from Tanana state that the
dumps on all the creeks are show
ing up better than eve and it Is
said that from $11,00O,0 O0 to
$4,000, 900 will be a conservative
estimate of the output OF Tanana

CAUSED FIRE.

Some little excitement was occas-
toned in the Veteran saloon yester-
day afternoon by a burning sack
falling into the barroom from a
chimney in the rear. Attorney
Zurich who recently moved his Of
fee from the Veteran building to
the city hall threw a number of
papers into the stove and set fire to
them, not knowing that a sack had
been placed in the chimney on the
roof to prevent rain coming through.
The result was that the sack caught
fire and dropped into the bar.

Admirals on Horseback.

The service order requiring naval
officers on shore duty to do 80 miles
in the saddle at stated intervals as a
means of determining the survival of
the fittest-that was the ultimate OBJ
iect, we believe-would have made
Darwin laugh as long and loud as
when his sailor companions on a land
expedition tried to cook potatoes at
an altitude at which water boiled at
1870 degrees Fahrenheit. To carry the
smile further, the test ride Is a hybrid
that has no place in the Darwinian
doctrine, or, indeed, in any regular
order of events. It is neither fish,
flesh nor fowl, mol vet a red herring.
An army officer might as well be
dashed to a fighting top and made to
ride out a storm in order to keep him
in trim for field duty as to have a
naval officer try to keep his sea legs
supple by doing an equine stunt on
dry land. While the landsman on the
ground may see the ludicrous side
more keenly than the old seadog In
the saddle, the latter is not blind to
his plight, and there goes with his
forced grin a sense of humiliation
that sinks all the deeper as it is more
and more borne to his mind that the
ordeal he is going through has less
than nothing to justify it.-Washing-
ton Post.
