KING EDWARD DEAD.

King Edward of England died at a
late hour Friday right, after an attack
eff pneumonia which caused him to take
70 his bed last Wednesday. His son, the
Prince of Wales, succeeds to the throne
as King George V.
King Edward was 50 years of age.
He assembled the throne in 1901 upon the
death Of his mother, Queen Victoria, and
welded great influence in the affairs
of all the nations of Europe. Edward
was not the greatest ruler England ever
had, but he did much for bis country
and served his people well. In his youn-
ger days he was wild and reckless, but
long before becoming king he had settled
down and was conservative in all things.
King Edward was friendly to America,
and our people will hold him in CRATE
full remembrance. He also drew France
close to England and made friends all of
his neighbors.
