Dying Is Sudden.

King Edward died almost before his
subjects had begun to realize that he
was seriously i'll. He was taken sick
a week ago. After three days a seri-
GUS complication began to develop
The fourth day his physicians issued a
bulletin that stirred the whole nation
to its depths. On the sixth day the
King was dead.
The shock to Great Britain and to
the world had been tremendous, not
in a national way, for the death Of
the King has been discounted in the
markets for many years, but to the
Empires sentimentality. King Ed
ward was sincerely loved throughout
the length and breadth of England's
possessions.
The King died from pneumonia at
11:45 the night Of May 6, at Bucking-
ham Palace, and at the same mo-
ment the crown and scepter of the
Empire of Great Britain passed auto
matically to his son and heir, Prince
George of Wales, now George V.
Nearly all members of the Kings
immediate family were at his bedside
when the King died. Just before the
end came, the royal patient rallied
and spoke weakly to those about him.

| think I've done my duty"
Royalty Coming to Funeral.
More royal personages are expected
to come TO zngland for the funeral
than followed Victoria's hearse. The
German Emperor is certain to attend,
both because he is head of neighbor-
ing state and near relative.
The Kings of Belgium, Spain and
Portugal, and possibly King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy, also, will be pres
ent. All the crowned heads of the
world. as well as the Pope and the
Presidents of the United States,
France and other republics, have tele-
graphed condolences to the Dowager
Queen and King George v.

live in. There are no better people as
whole on the face of the earth and
no better governed town in the state.
The man who declares that we are all
going to the bad has a disordered liver
or some other ailment. A growing,
pushing town in this great southwest
must necessarily have great variety
of people, but the great majority of
vinita people unquestionably stand for
character.
