DID NOT LIKE TO
Be Under WATCH
King George Played Jokes on
Secret Service Men

Paris, April 15 = The late King
George of Greece was particularly
averse to being under the surveillance
of detectives, and he often drivd
amusement, when travelling abroad, "a
concealing his movements from the
men who were assigned to watch and
protect him from just such attacks as
results in his death at the hands Ct
an assassin at Saloniki last month.
French detectives tell many stories
of the kings devices to elude them. !.
was his majesty's custom to go every
year to Aix-les-Bains for the waters,
and the French government always
charged itself with the responsibility
for his safety. The king would from
time to time seek out the men charged
with his protection and expostulate on
the futility of following him. The an
swer always was an apology, coupl Il
with the explanation that the orders of
superiors had to be obeyed
One day at Aix-les- Bains King
George was walking along the road up
Mount Reward, when he noticed two
men of the Paris political police shad-
owing him. Here was an opportunity
to play the sleuths a trick. The king
entered little roadside wine shop,
placed his hat, stick and gloves on the
sill Of an open window, sat down at a.
table just out of sight of the window,
and ordered glass of beer. In few
moments he slipped quietly out back
door, pulled out of his pocket cap t.
take the place of the hat he had lett
behind, climbed a fence and got AVA
unnoticed.
The watchers soon discovered their
mistake and began at once search TO,
the trail. They found the king three
hours later talking to some wood chop
pers on the high cost of living.
The tragic death of King George has
brought out many other "reminiscences
of this democratic monarch. Another
il centered in a photograph. which
shows the king climbing over the seats
OF railroad passenger car in an en-
deavor to catch canary bird fluttering
against the roof.
The scene took place in the express
from Paris to frankfort. An old lady
was travelling in company with her pet
canary; the door of the cage slipped
open, and the bird escaped. The king,
travelling incognito, was in the nest
compartment. Hearing the clamors ue
the old lady, he came in and after a
long chase succeeded in capturing the
fugitive bird and restoring it to its de-
lighted owner. In the meantime some
one took snapshot of his majesty

SIXTEEN MILLION MORE
WOULD PREVENT FLOODS
BlXby Says That Much Would
Hold Mississippi

Memphis, Tenn, April 15.-After
viewing the Mississippi river swollen
by the greatest flood in its history,
Brig-Gen. w. H. Bixby, chief of engi-
neers asserted here that should the
federal appropriation be increased
$16,000,000 levees could be built from
Cairo to New Orleans to withstand a
flood of the present proportions.
Gen. Bixby is accompanying the Mis-
sissippi River commission on its al
nual tour of inspection from st. Louis
to the mouth of the waterway. The
steamer Mississippi, on board which
the commission is travelling, stopped
in the Memphis harbor a short time
and proceeded across the river, where
the boat is anchored.
She will continue tomorrow. The
commission will reach Helena tomor-
row and inspect the embankment along
the White river, south of that city
before coming to an anchorage for the
night.

SAND CREEK GHOST
LIGHT REAPPEARS
Continued from Page Two.)

light. 1t is not of a phosphorescent
nature for there is no marsh or low
land there, and it appears to be of n
brilliant white, while phosphorescent
lights are blush of tint, and besides
phosphorus lights appear only in wet,
marshy, low places. There are no
low or wet lands out our way"
Herman Tonhoff, of Odee, Meade
county, has been an eye witness to the
light aud describes it exactly as does
Capt. Painter. He was riding a horse
one night when the light appeared and
his horse squatted down, trembling
with fear.
Frank Fuhr, editor of the Meade
Globe, says the temperance of the
Sand creek ghost light" is causing
much concern. Whether one belev as
in whosts or not, the strange light is
a phenomena that is causing much
anxiety" he said.
Several theories have been advanc-
cd. One is that the ghost light" has
some connection with the earth cracks
which have attracted much attention
ia Meade county. The theory is that
interior pressure of gases causes these
cracks, and that the escaping gas be-
ing ignited forms this strange phe-
nomena. But no trace has ever been
found of natural gas or of the effects
Of gas burning.
Another theory is that the lights are
really mirages, if such a thing as a
night mirage is possible, of Rock Is
land railway trains on the railroad,
twenty miles away, the electric head
light of the locomotive being lifted and
shown miles away on the prairie by
this optical phenomenon.
At any even the Sand creek ghost
light" has proved that it can come
back" after having disappeared fer
several years.

Blood Bath
Knocks Rheumatism
Remarkable Effects of a Rem
edy That Actually Irri-
gates the Entire
Blood Supply.

1t sounds queer to take a blood bath
but that is percisely the effect of a most
remarkable remedy known as S. S. S. 1t
has the peculiar action of soaking
through the intestines directly into the
blood. In five minutes it's influence is at
work in every artery vein and tiny capiI.
larry. Every membrane, every organ of
the body, every enunctory becomes in
effect a filter to strain the blod of i'm
purities. The stimulating properties of
S. S. S. compel the skin, liver, bowels,
kidneys bladder to all work to the one
end of casting out every irritating, every
pain-inflicting atom of poison it dislodges
by irrigation all Accommodations in the
joints, dissolves acid accretions, renders
them neutral and scatters those peculiar
formations in the nerve centers that
cause such mystifying and often battling
rheumatic pains.
And best of all, this remarkable rem
edy is welcome to the weakest stomach.
If you have drugged yourself until your
stomach is nearly paralyzed you will be
astonished to find that S. S. S. gives no
sensation but goes right to work. This
is because it is pure vegetable infusion,
is taken naturally into your blood just as
pure air is inhaled naturally into your
lungs.
1He great oHlt AapordtoTy mas spent
millions of dollars in perfecting, produc-
ing and placing in the hands of the pub
lie this wonderful remedy, So give your
blood a good bath with S. S. s., for it
knocks the worst forms of rheumatism
every time.
You can get it at any drug store at
$1.00 bottle. 1t is a standard remedy,
recognized everywhere as the greatest

intent to murder upon Quill McNair,
formerly a deputy United States mar
shall returned q verdict about noon
yesterday finding the defendants gull
" under the fourth count of the in
dictanent against them. This indict-
ment charges them with assault with
a deadly weapon.
Practically all of the morning ses-
sion of the court was consumed in
the charging Of the Jury and, as an
other case was set for the afternoon.
Judge Sheppard did not pass sentence
upon the young men yesterday and
did not say when he would do so, al
though it Is probable that he will do
so today.
The home OF the young men con-
victed is in Fgonaton, Ala. and the
reason the case came within the juriS-
dfctton of the United States court was
that the alleged assault occurred ON
Santa Rosa island, which is a gov
eminent reservation
Both Of the defendants, as well as
the man whom they were convicted OF
aSSaulting, are we'll known in this
city and section and the case at
tracted g, considerable amount of in

The jackson brothers were defend
ed by G. Moreno Jones, while the gov
eminent was represented by District

Attorney Beal.
