The first intimation that anything
was amiss was the failure Of the
king to meet the queen, who return
ed from the Continent this, evening.
The queen hurried to the palace and
soon the public learned by an official
announcement, that the king had
been Ill for two days.
The fact that his illness had been
thus concealed from the public caus-
ed alarm, when it once became gen.
orally known. The king suffered
from similar attack at Biarritz,
owing to the inclement weather and
cold wind t., but it was supposed that
he had completely recovered.

ENGLAND'S KING A SUFFERER.
Attack of BrOnchitis-AIarm Caused
by Announcement of British
M0narch's Illness.

London, May 5.-The Kingdom was
thrown into CONSERVATION tonight by
the sudden and totally unexpected
announcement that King Edward
was suffering from bronchitis in a
form which caused some anxiety to
his physicians, two Of whom are
sleeping in Buckingham Palace in
order to be on hand in case of need.

yelling. But the tail is curved so
it will come sweeping upon the
th possibly a few hours later, and
that time the relations Of the
70 bodies will so have changed BY
eason of their swift passing that we
shall not pass through the middle of
the tail, where it would measure at
least 100000 miles across, bu1
through a portion where smaller
distance must be traversed in order
to make our exit.
The Question of Danger.
The first question is, Of course,
that OF danger. Will the earth and
all things therein be destroyed, as
the $4,000 inhabitants Of st. Pierre
were laid low in three minutes by
the poisonous fumes of Mount Pelee?
Our answer is that if the earth
should graze the comets head pos
sibly it's yapors would so fill our asa
mosphere that nothing could there
after live. But at point in the tail
14,000,000 miles from that head we
are perfectly safe, as we should be
indeed half or one-fourth that dis
tance. The comets tail is literally
next to nothing. The little that it is
will not affect our atmosphere in any
unpleasant or harmful way. There
as much danger in searchlight
rainbow and infinitely more in
l7res of the chimneys and auto
= s of city. 1t is true that it
is gaseous nature, but SO ex-
tremeM thin that the faintest stars
can be seen through million miles
of it's 7olume.
- The next question pertains to the
spectacle: If the transit may prove
invisible, will the plunge through the
tail prove equally so? 1t may, for in
1919 the earth went through COM
cts tail without any one knowing it,
and in 1861 it did the same, though
it was remembered afterward that a
strange aurora-like appearance had
beer observed at the time, a certain
yei1!1wness Of sky, which was even
thought worthy of record, though its
connection with the comet had not
been suspected. It is not unlikely
that we shall have an experience
somewhat like that In the morning
of May 1S, before sunrise, the tail is
likely to be seen extending from the
eastern toward the western horizon.
In the evening of the 18th, after sun
set, the tail is likely to be seen ex-
tending from the western toward the
eastern horizon, but late during the
night of the 18th, the entire heavens
are ligkely to be seen carrying
faint and peculiar radiance, due to

Advantage of the SiIo.

A writer in Kimball's Dairy Farmer
says that with his herd of COWS he
received S224.97 for the butterfat dur
ing the feeding months of the winter.
Last winter, covering the same period
OF five mouths, with the same herd of
COWS and a silo, the returns from
butterfat were S415.37. This shows
what can be done with careful feeding
with silage. The writer also says that
while the returns were greater, the
cost OF keeping the herd was less, thus
increasing the profits in that direc-
ton. He expresses the belief that
with 20 COWS one can pay for the in
vestment in a silo in one year. A
farmer who is running much of a
dairy without silo is certainly los
ing wide margin of profit on his in
vestment.
Another farmer writes the same
paper that before putting in his silo,
ne used to buy grain and hay every
year to feed his stock, and then they
would come out poor in the spring.
That since getting his silo he has hav
and grain to sell and his stock comes
through the winter in better shane.
He regards it as near the project feed.

Don't Like 1t.

At the risk of displeasing the artist
who designed the new heading for the
Milaca Times we must say we don't
like it little bit. The Indian tepees
in the left hand corner would lead
people who are not familiar with the
local situation to believe that Milaca
was located in an Indian country.
The center piece is simply picture of
several common brick store build
ings. The barn in the right hand
corner is out of proportion to the
farm house. If Bro. Cravens is
bound to have an ornamental heading
we would suggest that the center piece
should represent what Milaca is
famous for-its dairying interests.

About 30 years ago he moved to
Grant county and took homestead
near Herman: 81 years later he pulled
up stakes and settled down near Boise
City, Idaho, where he has a ranch
and is also interested in mining and
numbering and is prospecting. He
and Mrs. Gillesby are on their way

west later in the fall and with Mrs.

How Jim Would Rum Thinps.

A Princeton man writes the Prince
ton U n that in the case John Lind
won't have the job of governor that
the dem ocratic committee select James
j. Hill for the place. Mr.. Hill is just
the man for the job now. The reform
legislation has been enacted and what
is needed is man who will cut down
the operating expenses and save
taxes. Mr.. Hill is the greatest rail
road operator in the world and it is
believed that he would and could run
the state economically. He can tell
when there are too many men on the
job, whether they are earning their
salaries, burning too much coal or
are wasting the oil. Minnesota needs
just this kind of a man for the next
four years. Running the state of
Minnesota ought to be business
proposition instead of a talkfest.

Was Not Unexpected.

L. W. Vanderhoof died suddenly at
his home in Baldwin township on
Friday, August II, aged SO years.
The old gentleman was feeding his
horses in the barn at the time of his

For nearly three years Mr.. Wander

and heart disease and his death did
not come unexpectedly.
Funeral services we're conducted at
the family residence by Rev. Goodell

ceased had been member.
L. W. Vanderhoof was born in the
state of New York, where he was
married in 1862. In 1870 he came west
and took up his residence in st. Paul.
In 1896 he purchased and moved

honest and good neighbor. He was
held in high esteem by those &C
. quainted with him and his kindly face
will be greatly missed.

Herb Gates on Crop Conditions

Herb Gates was in town Tuesday
and, in talking of crop conditions,
said that early potatoes are a com.
plete fizzle, at least on his farm-they
are all dried up. If the frost holds
off for six weeks, however, said he,
there will probably be light crop OF
late potatoes, but the rain came too
late for an average yield. Corn is
looking fine and there promises to be
pretty good pasture this fall. Herb.
is an experienced apiarist and,
despite the scarcity of blossoms this
summer, succeeded in getting 2,7OO
pounds of honey from his bees. Had
the year been favorable the honey
produced by his colony of bees would
have aggregated at least 5000
pounds.
