Popular British Ruler Expires
After an Illness Of Less
Than a Week.
GEORGE v HIS SUCCESSOR
Heir Assumes Cuties Immedi.
ate|y, According to Laws
Of the Kingdom.

London, May liking Edward VII.
who returned to England from a vaca
ton ten days ago in the best of health
died in the presence of his family
after an illness of less than a week
which was serious hardly more than
three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according tc
the laws of the kingdom, without Off
cial ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death
in pursuance of custom.
The beloved monarch succumbed tC
pneumonia, which followed a bron
chial attack, in the sixty-ninth year OF
life and the tenth year of his reign.
Coming SO suddenly, the death OF
the king has resulted in the great
est sorrow to the nation, in whose
hearts Edward, first as Prince of
Wales and afterward as sovereign,
held first place.
His short reign has been a history
of stirring times. 1t opened with the
conclusion of peace after a long and
trying campaign in South Africa and
concluded at the critical moment of
one of the momentous political strug-
giles of modern times, between the
peers and commons.
Only a day OF two ago the king was
conducting the business of state and
giving audiences, but on Wednesday

WILL SPEND ONE MILLION
Great Northern to Improve Its Road
bed.

USus
On good authority it is said that the
Great Northern will spend over $1.OO0,-
900 in the improvement of it's right-of-
way between GAINESVILLE, Mimi, and
Grand Forks this summer.
The present seventy-pound rails are
to be replaced with ninety-pound rails
and the roadbed is to be reballasted. It
practically means the entire recon
%struction of the line between the
points named.
With the new rails laid, the Great
Northern will be able to make better
time through that section.
Being practically without grades of
any kind, the company will be enabled
to send it's crack trains over the line
with the highest speed possible, and
thus greatly facilitate the handling of
it's transcontinental business.
Material is rapidly being shipped to
GAINESVILLE for the work.

BROTHERS IN FATAL FIGHT
One of Them Mortatiy Wounds tho
Other.

Oscar Hanback, is in the city hos
pital at Bismarck suffering from a
bullet wound inflicted by his brother
Charles. It appears that the two
brothers became engaged in a quarrel
on their farm near Cole Harbor, where
they live, and the shooting followed.
According to the story of Oscar he
was the original offender and attacked
his brother with an axe. Charles
rushed into the house, secured a re-
volver and fired at Oscar. The bullet
went through his body just above the
left lung.
Oscar Hanback,, the injured man,
has been an inmate Of the state in
sane asylum and has been out only a
year. Charles Hanback, has not been
arrested.
Oscar is not expected to live and
his brother is a constant attendant at
his bedside.

he was compelled to submit to the
orders of his physicians. Since then
until the end his decline was rapid.
Throughout the empire the word
was flashed and flags are floating at
half mast the world over. Besides the
social gloom which the kings death
cast over England several important
and long planned official events must
be abandoned. The Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales were to go to South
Africa with the squadron and the
prince was to open the first parlia-
ment of the new confederation, but
his accession to the throne will pre-
vent this.
The death of his majesty must also
mean the abandonment of the prin-
cipal functions of former President
Roosevelt's tour. The official recep-
lions and the embassy entertainments
will be cancelled and the presentation
of the freedom of the city and the
luncheon at Guild hall probably will
be given up.
May 20 has been definitely deter.
mined upon as the date of the funeral
of King Edward.
The body will be removed on the
18th from Buckingham palace to West.

the first to greet former President
Roosevelt on his arrival here, going
to the railway station to meet him.

The streets of Christiania were

every one of the thousands of people

can guests, which was attended by
more than 200 of the most eminent
personages in Norway.

CONFESSION NOT BELIEVED
Note Acknowledging Murder Thought
by Officers to Be Ruse.

Towner people do not believe the
supposed confession of "John Hosen"
to the murder of Alfred Peterson seven
years ago. Carl Olson is serving a
life sentence for the crime, being con
victed in 1905, and the evidence
against him was so strong and con
elusive that the officials are slow to
believe he is not guilty.
Olson attempted recently to secure
a pardon, but was unsuccessful.
The general belief in McHenry
county is that the note, found in a coat

PLEASED WITH FINDINGS
In Addition to Inspecting Crematories

tention to Inspection of As
phalt Pavements

After inspecting the crenatories of
Staten Island and Richmond, Va. in ad-
Gition to asphalt paving in those two
cities, Mayor Culpepper Exum and the

appointed for that purpose returned to
Birmingham last night. The party In
cluded, in addition to Mayor sT1xum, AL
dermen Frank w. Smith, p. J. Rogers,

prominent engineer, also accompanied
the committee, acting in an advisory ca
pacity.
The committee will draft a report and
submit it to the City Council at the meet
ing to be held next Wednesday.

was indeed pleasant and that much In
formation had been secured regarding
crematories.

given out at this time" said Mayor Elk
UNI. at will compile our investigations
and shape them up In report to the

into the erematory problem very thor
cughly and were deeply impressed with
the great service the destroyers render TO
any city that uses them. Birmingham,
l think, will have one of the great civic
cleansers very soon.
In addition to looking into the crema-
tory plans, the committee also looked into
the paving by asphalt as used in New
York and Richmond. We believe at this
time that Birmingham Is facing a very
serious matter in regard to street paving
and it is our desire to secure all the data
POSSIBLE upon paving matters. | will COM
m,nicate some Information gathered in
regard to asphalt to the council in the

tory"

tee warmly and assisted them in every
way in getting information that was
sought by the officials of Birmingham.

He says: 1.-THE patient was man who
had suffered, to my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate
seemed to sour and create gases in the
stomach He had pains like rheuna-

limbs, fullness and distress after eating
poor appetite and loss OF flesh: the heart
became affected, causing palpitation ana
sleeplessness at night.
II gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose AS
an experiment I finally bought q 50-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. AL
most immediate relief was given and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and IL pounds in weight

Ia BOHEME' TO Be

More Room Was Needed for

fHss
CHANGE MADE QUICKLY
Manager Mattice of shubert Now An
nounees That the Most Elaborate
Scenic Effects Can He Used
in Presentation
CHANGE MADE QUICKLY

. The Bessie Abott Grand Opera COM
pany will give It's presentation of ia
Boheme" az the Orpheum theatre in
stead of the Shubert, as previously an
nounced.
This decision comes as a result of
consultation held by the Shuberts in
New York, at which they decided that
the present theatre was too small to
allow proper presentation of the
opera with all its elaborate effects.
Though the Shubert formerly the
O'Brien opera house. is adequate for
ordinary attractions, it Is said, pro-
duction of such magnitude as la
Boheme" would be painfully hampered.
Hence the change.
The Orpheum theatre has been Sc
cured by special arrangement with
Jake Wells.
This will be of great interest to Biz
mingham music lovers, many of whom
felt that no proper idea of the operas

beauties could be gained from anything
but large stage. The orpheum, be-
ing a large house, production or
unrivaled magnificence is promised.
Another fact which insures the COM
fort and pleasures of those who at
tend is that the Orpheum has not
single post to obstruct the view. Also
it's acoustic properties are considered
to be the best.
The scale of prices will be changed
to meet conditions
When arrangements were first made
for the presentation of La Boheme"
in Birmingham the local management
was afraid that many little features
would have to be dispensed with on
account of lack of facilities. The opera
In it's entirety would have been given,
but now that the company VIII not
be cramped in even the smallest meas
ure as the promise Is made that it will
be the largest scenic spectacle in an
operate way that has ever been seen
In Birmin CHAM.
The superior acoustics will also mean
that the concerted numbers will be
heard to much better advantage

last night: In spite of binding con-
tracts, operate singers with their eX

to carry their various little idiosyncra-

Lack of space in a dressing room has

1.-The change from the Shubert to the
Orpheum in presenting La Boheme"
has done away with that possibility, for
the Orpheum will afford the partici-
pants In the opera with as much elbow
room as they could have had at the New
Theatre or the Metropolitan. The
change is significant in that 1t shows
that the Messrs. Lieblers are making
especial efforts to please the south and
birmingham"
The consultation between the Shu-
berts, the Lieblers and Jake Wells took
place yesterday morning and an agree
ment was made whereby the Shuberts
were to lease the Orpheum for this spe-
cial engagement.
Manager Mattice was Immediately
notified and he is now changing his
plans accordingly.
