London.-King Edward VII. died
early on the morning of May Z, after
an illness of but few days duration.
On May 9, with all the time-honored
ceremonies dear to the heart of
Britons, George ", oldest living son of
the dead king, was proclaimed ruler of
the empire.
George V. brings to the throne con-
siderable experience of his own in the
routine demands of public service made
upon him as Prince of Wales, and he
comes to the task of governing with
ability, good personal character and a
serious sense of his own responsible
ties.
In 1908 he visited Canada to attend
the celebration at Quebec and on that
occasion met Vice-President Fairbanks.
The new king is less democratic
than was his father and does not have
such an ardent love for sports. 1t has
been predicted, therefore. that after
his accession to the throne the court
gayety, which was always feature
during Edwards reign, will be less
marked.
1t should not be forgotten, in consid-
ering the attributes of the new king,
that he was not brought up as the
heir to the crown. Chroniclers who
were in a position to know state that
he came to the honors and duties of
heirship with no desire and with real
regret. He was twenty-seven years
old before he became heir to the crown
through the death of his elder brother,
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence
and Avondale.
He wanted to live unostentatiously
and to pursue his career in his own
way. He had married, morganatically,
a woman whom he loved and who
loved him-a niece of Vice-Admiral
Tryon of the British navy, who lost
his life in the Victoria Camperdown
collision in the Mediterranean in 1893
The wedding took place in the English
church at Malta, and two children were
born to the couple.
Such was the situation of Georges
life in January, 1892, when the Duke
Of Clarence died. George found him
self heir to the throne, with vast duties
awaiting him. Immediately his entire
life was changed. He had to give up
the sea, he had to abandon his retired
life, he had to part from his morgan
attic wife. The heir to the throne of
the British empire faced duties incon-
sistent with the life possible to a
prince not in the direct line of success
sion.
Not only was George, when he be-
came heir, forced to take up the public
duties of the Duke of Clarence, but he
was also obliged ia marry his brothers
fiancee, Princess Victoria Mary of
Teck, or Princess May" as she was
popularity known, who had been chosen
as the future queen of England, and
her marriage to the Duke of Clarence
was to have occurred in 1892. After
the dukes death Queen Victoria or
dered George to marry the present
queen. In 1893 George did so, when
the period of mourning for the Duke
Of Clarence was ended.
1t was on June 3, 1866, at Marlbor-
srgh house. London, that George ".

EXPLOSION KILLS 10
BODIES ARE HURLED IN EVERY
DIRECTION WHEN BOILERS
BLOW UP.
IN CANTON, o, TIN PLATE MILLS
Every One in Four Buildings Is Either
Killed or Injured.-One Man
HURLED Through House 700
Feet Away by Blast.

Canton, Ohio. Quick death to
10 men, serious injury to 30 or more
employees of the plant, and damage to
the building amounting to many thou
sand dollars-these are the result of
the explosion of battery OF seven
boilers at the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company's plant. Up to mid
night the list of known dead was as
follows:
The Dead.
Charles Brown.
John Wheeling.
George Bole.
Jay Henry.
Harry Blatzley.
Herman Lothamer.
-Stulze.
Unidentified dead-Three.
The Missing.
Charles Dewitt, engineer.
William Austin, fireman.
Romano Boyer, ash hauler.
Hospital physicians say that the in
juries of several men would likely
prove fatal before morning and that
very doubtful.
The amount of damage has not yet
been estimated by officials.
The cause of the explosion is at
present unknown. The fireman and
engineer were both in the boiler room
and are dead. No one else about the
plant who survived the accident can
give an explanation. One workman
says he heard three distinct explo-
sions in quick succession. They came
so close, however, that it was all over
in minute. The force of the concus.
sion was terrific. The big plant is in
such a state of ruin as to be practical
ly total loss.
Buildings Are Demolished.
A mere shell of the building is left.
Identification of the men was difficult,
because many of them were so multi
ated that even their most intimate
friends could not recognize their fea-
lures Heads were blown from sever
al bodies Arms and legs were torn
from trunks. Fragments of bodies
were blown several squares from the
scene and bits of human flesh have
been picked up on the porches and
roofs of houses and in trees.
Body Hurled Through House.
The body of one man, unknown, was
blown through house, over 700 feet
from the plant. The body entered the
house from the east side and contin-
ued in straight line through bed
room and out the other side of the
house. The torso of another man was
found in the garden of yard about
500 feet west of the scene
The bodies of seven men, mutilat-
ed beyond recognition, were found in
the north end of the mill
The plant had five mills. All the
employees working at mills numbers l.,
2, and were either killed or in
jured, while the men in mill number s.
farthest from the boilers, escaped.

"A jar such as the depositors of
the First National Bank of Mineral
Point received, has an injurious effect
on banking institutions which are
conducted by honest men, and it is
such frequent occurrences which cause
folks to hoard money in tin cans,
stoves and other hidden places. How
ever, it is well to bear in mind that
the average person is safer in taking
chance on bank, than in placing
his savings where they can be des-
troyed by fire. Sank County Demo-

Lay IN Snow a Month.

Darlington Republican.
A young man by the name Of Edw.
Norden, blacksmith residing in Mon
roe, came home from his work on Sat
urday evening, December 18th. After
supper he changed his clothes and then
started to visit friends west of the
city. This was the last time he was
ever seen alive.
On Sunday, Jan. 9th, his body was
found under the Banta bridge on the
st, Paul road, buried under the snow,
where it had lain for a month. The
body was in sitting posture beside
one of the supports of the bridge in a
position that would indicate that the
young man had leaned up against the
timber to rest. The arms and legs
were drawn close to the body giving
the appearance of one suffering with
the cold and had attempted to protect
himself.
Particulars surrounding his death can
only be surmised at this time. 1t is
known that the first heavy snow fell
on Saturday, the 18th, and that at
night it was blowing and storming
fiercely. 1t is presumed that he start
ed to walk west over the track and
upon reaching the bridge either fell off
the bridge or went below for some
reason. The most accepted theory is
that his hat blew off and that he went
below to find it, and that he became
exhausted or benumbed by the cold and
sat down to rest and then fell into a
sleep from which he die. not awake.
Deceased was about 27 years old and
had several relatives living in this
country.

Advertising Is Necessary.

The business man who does't believe
in advertising belongs in the same cate
CORY with the farmer who doesn't be
lieve in fertilizing the soil. The husband
man can gather several successive but
constantly diminishing crops from the
same piece of ground without restoring
to it the life-giving elements of which
he robs it; but there comes a time
when, completely exhausted, the land
refuses TO respond to agricultural en-
treaty. The business deprived of the
stimulating influence of publicity fur
nishes an apt parallel-gradual failure,
ending in complete paralysis of its
functions. Advertising, like fertiliz-
ing, is mighty cheap in proportion to
the money value of the growth it
promotes.
