lineaI Descent,


An Englishman applied to the her
AIDS college for q coat of arms. In
such a case it is pleasant to be able
to borrow one from a celebrated an
cestor. The man in question could
not remember anything about his
great-grandparents and therefore could
not mention any achievement by them
which could be used as the basis Of a
coat Of arms. But the official to whom
he applied was not easily discouraged.
"Have you not done something your.
self?" he asked.
"Nothing, I fear" said the man, add.
ing as a pathetic antithesis that once
having been locked in Ludgate prison
for debt he had found means to escape
from an upper window.
"And how did you get DOWN."
II got a cord, fixed it around the
neck of King Lud's statue and let my
self down."
"Just the thing. There you have it
honor enough; lineally descended from
King Lud. His coat Of arms is good
enough for you."-Tit-Bits.

~ANADA'S advancing Importance

rival Of the Duke of C%onnaught

It is the first time that the vice regal
post in any of the overseas dominions
has been held by a member Of the
royal family. The duke is a brother Of
the late King Edward and therefore

comes to Canada at a time when the
country has outgrown the colonial
stage and Is facing great political and
economic problems. The duke sue

of activity equaled by few. II any, of
his predecessors.
Those unfamiliar with the British
system Of government should be in
formed that a governor general does
not govern. He stands to Canada as
the representative Of the king. He
signs all sorts Of official documents.
Official acts are performed In his
name, but be has no more real polit-
ical authority than the king himself.
The real authority is vested in the gov
eminent of the day, Of which the
prime minister, Robert Laird Borden,

At the same time the actual political
influence Of the governor general is
great. This is due largely to the fact
that it is not exercised. and its great
est source of strength is the loyalty Of
Canada to the crown. For a governor

be sufficient cause for his recall. The

CALLED To REST

After an illness of less than IA
hours, Mrs. Clella Bartels. wife of
II. r, Bartels of Iona, died this
morning at 1880 o'clock of inflama-
tion of the bowels.
Mrs. Bartels. who was 80 years of

had come to the valley to make his
home the month preceding. They had
established themselves on their ranch
At Iona and their home was about
half completed. Plans had been
made to have the aged parents of
Mrs. Bartels visit them as soon as
their new home was finished. Both
husband aud wife were looking for
ward with delightful anticipation to
the completion of their new home on
their fruit tract. Her sudden death
cast a pail of gloom over the entire
Iona community, where both Mr..
and Mrs. Bartels were well known
and highly esteemed.
A short funeral sermon will be
held at the Congregational church in
Fruita this evening, and Mr.. Bartels
will accompany the remains of his
wife to the old home in Lincoln, Neb.

Washington, May 13.-The deliber-
ate plan of w. p. Boland to entrap
Judge Robert w Archibald of the
commerce court in an embarrassing
transaction, was related before the
house judiciary committee which is
investigating charges to determine
whether impeachment proceedings
shall be instituted by the senate
against Archibald.
Allan Cockell, the confidential sec
retary of the interstate commerce
commission, read to the committee a
memorandum of Boland's original
charges against Archibald.
According to this memorandum,
Boland told Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Meyers that he sought
purposely to trap Judge Archibald in
the Katydid culm bank transaction
after q demurrer in a suit against his
coal ntCmpany had been decided
against him in Archbald's court.
Boland declared that he sent E. F.
Williams to Judge Archibald to lure
him into the .culm option deal with
the Erie railroad after Williams had
come to him with Archbald's $500
note for discount. Boland refused to
discount the note, and subsequently
the demurrer was decided against
him.

while AT camp % miles from

ranch. They offered little or no
resistance TO the officer and his
posse which was organized while
on the trail from cowpunchers

The two men will be brought into
this city from Fruita by Sheriff
Schrader late this afternoon. They
stole a fine horse from Jack Hanson,
a blacksmith, and another animal
from Try Hiatt. They secured sad
dies from the Jim Brewster place and
then got buggy at Iona. The
thefts occurred Saturday night and
the men rode directly north. leaving
a plain trail. They made fast time.
however, and were several hours
ahead of Deputy Sheriff Nichols when
he left Fruita with Mr.. Brewster. At
the Jim Hunter ranch they changed
horses and got several men to go
with them as members of the posse.
Riding hard yesterday afternoon,
they reached the men while they were
at camp. Little or no resistance was
offered.
1t was one of the quickest and most
commendable captures made in sew
eral years.
Both men are said to be strangers,
although they are believed 10 know
the country from the direction they
took. evidently having in view the
White river country as their destina-
tion.
Nichols with his prisoners arrived
in Fruita at o'clock this afternoon
and Sheriff Schrader will bring them
up on the next interurban.
