Annals Of the FIJI Kings.

Tanoa. Caoobau's father and great
grandfather Of the present Ratu. was
one OF the most villainous of all the
kings who ruled in Bau. The history
of his atrocities makes professional
ogres like Nero and Catherine de
Medici appear like martyred saints.
At his death his son. Cacobau. who
succeeded him, strangled his fathers
Ave wives, his own mother among
them, in accordance with the custom
of the land. Later In life, Caoobau
embraced the new Christianity.
From the date Of his conversion he
committed no more outrages and dis
carded all Of his wives save one, whom
he married with the church ceremony
when both were baptized. His son
Ratu Abel did not look very favorabiy
upon the new religion, and mixed very
little with foreigners, yet no charges
OF cannibalism or other cruelties were
laid at his door. The present Ratu

AIRSEIIP DROPS BOMBS ON GERMAN POSITION
RUSSIANS IN sally BEFORE WARSAW

the line Of defense before Warsaw are
today directing a strong counter-at-
tack against the Germans between
Rawa and teh Pilicax river. Skiernie-
vice, the important railroad point
southeast of Lowicz, has practically
been abandoned by the Russians, &C
cording to reports reaching here.
With this backward movement by
the Russians, the Germans are in par
tial possession of both railroad lines
leading to Warsaw from the wtst and
southwest, but by their attacks be-
yond Rawa it is evident that the Rus
slams are endeavoring to swing the
main point of contact of the vast en-
gagement in Poland further south to
avoid all possibility of being cornered
between the fortress of Warsaw and
Novo Georgievsk and the Vustula.
Heavy German forces have been
repulsed in their efforts to drive an
opening in the Russian line Of de-
lenses along the Bzura river.
The army of Field Marshal van
Hindenburg is declared to have made
little progress in the assaults directed
toward the city of Sochaczow. By
the counter attacks further south it is
believed the Russians may force a
shifting of the German forces, dimin-
ishing the power of attack along the
Vistula and the Zzura,

ELECTRICAL STORM
VISITS WAYNESVILLE

Waynesville, July 27.-Yesterday
afternoon this storm was visited by
one OF the worst electrical storms
in the history of the town or coun-
ty. With heavy winds blowing and
the wind coming down in torrents
for nearly an hour traffic was STOP
ped completely. The lightning cut
many capers during the rainfall.
At Eagles Nest, en- Junaluska,
mountain, six miles from here
lightning struck tree near a barn
in the parture near the hotel and
killed a valuable horse belonging to
S. c. Satterthwaite, Jr., proprietor
of the hotel. On the mountains
surrounding this city trees were
struck and shattered.
In this city the home of Mayor
Clyde H. Ray was struck and a pill
lar of the porch was knocked out
completely. but doing very little
damage other than shattering sew
eral pieces of weatherboarding. A
large oak tree on the lawn of the
Sulphur Springs hotel was struck
and completely shattered.
The storm seemed to be evenly
distributed over the county and a
general rain prevailed throughout.
Although several hundred dollars
damage was done, the value of the
rain to the crops will more than
offset the financial loss.
Waynesville was in darkness for
nearly an hour: twenty-five tele-
phones of the Waynesville Tele-
phone company were burned out.
However, the damage has been re-
paired and everything is again in
order.

CELEBRATION At

Hendersonville, July 27,-This
CITY IS crowded to the point of over
flowing today with tourists and
special groups of visitors who are
here for the grand Military aud

ranged in celebration of the build
Ing OF the Asheville-H Henderson

cred very fitting celebration for

Will mean so much in opening up

lima to the tourists from the south

The festivities of the day began
with a mamoth parade that formed
at Hyman Heights on the Asheville
road, near the foot of Main street.
and marched along tbs entire
length of Main street and back
again. 1t was headed by troop X
OF the Fifth United States cavalry,
mounted, which arrived on the
outskirts of the town early this
morning from Mountain Home,
where camp was pitched Saturday
night, on the. march fram Camp
Grove, near Asheville. Immediate
ly following the troopers was the
First Coast Artillery band of Fort
Moultrie, which arrived this morn
ing from Camp Grove, where it is
stationed. The strains of martial
music created a holiday spirit that
pervaded the participants in the
parade and the thousands of on

funerals" That, of course, meant
that the death of some of the towns
best known citizens would have to
take place so it would be impossible
for them to block the way of it's
progress.
Mark Twain's joke was on the
class of men who hold back their
town or put mouth on everything
that is proposed for its development.
Of course, nobody favors a funeral
of any man for the good of the
town, but a better plan for dealing
with the Obstructionist would be to
snow them under. Sometimes a
mimic funeral answers for the same
purpose, and it was that kind which
Patterson, N. j., solemnly held a
few days ago. Patterson got her
knockers. grouches, kickers and
tightwads, and held a burlespue
funeral which was meant to typify
their burial. Three dummies were
prepared to represent the dead body
of DR.. Tightwad, Old Man Pessimist,
and Chronic Kicker. They were
solemnly loaded into hearses, and
away the procession went to the
burial ground.
Thousands of people, including
the hilarious small boy. followed in
the wake of the cortege, but no
tears were shed. On the contrary,
there was glee and laughter, and a
band of music played a mock dirge
while the throng followed with jests
and engaged in hilarious conduct
all along the route. The whole of
the affair was intended to be a
mockery. and it was hollow one
that was rather inspired to hurt the
feelings of those whose burial the
the funeral was supposed to repre-
sent. Each class of Paterson ans
who have knocked, or kicked, or
have been glued to their money

JOY and gladness, and the redemp-

activities of calamity howlers,

were laid with mock ceremonies in
the silent grave.
That was way Paterson boosters
and optimists adopted to emphasize
the fact that it was tired of knockers

and the whole list of persons whose
chief end is to predict calamity,
foretell disaster and generally dis

able for everybody, and actually
damage the city.
