BR|TA|N's GREATEST
SOLDIER D|ES|N FRANCE.
Lord Roberts Succumbs to PneumOn-
ia.-WOn Fame in Nine Wars
and Was Acclaimed Ablest
In His Day.

Reports from London state that
Field Marshal Roberts died Satur-
day, Nov. IA, from pneumonia. Field
Marshall Roberts had gone to France
to give his greeting. Soon after his
arrival he became seriously i'll. At
the time of death he was 50 years of
age.
Lord Roberts military career has
covered period of 81 years, and dur
ing that time his service to his coun-
try has been one of interest and de-
votion. He was by far the most pop
ular military figure in Great Britain.
He has always advocated a compul-
sorry military service for Great Brit
ain and his magazine articles and
speeches before Parliment have been
spread broadcast over his country.
England's greatest soldier achiev-
ed his greatest fame in the Indian
service. Later in Great Britain's
campaign against the Beers in Afri-
ca, his work was brilliant and he
achieved greater renown.
Lord Roberts military education
began early in life. While an infant
in arms he was taken to England to
receive education in the warlike art.
The age 19 saw him back in India
serving under his father, a distin-
guished General of the Victorian per-
iod. For more than 40 years he
served in that Oriental empire, up
holding Great Britain's sovereignty
with his sword and gaining world
wide fame. Beginning with the In
dian mutiny the record of his services
is studded with brilliant exploits and
gallant deeds.
The Victoria Cross came to him
early in his career, after he had res
cued a comrade from seemingly GER
tain death in the campaign against
the Indian mutineers and had recov-
cred a standard captured by the en-
emy. Queen Victoria herself pinned
the highly-prized token on the SOL
diers tunic. The mutiny medal for
bravery was another that he won in
fighting the Sepoys at Delhi and help
ing to drive them from their siege
of Lucknow. The Indian frontier
and the Abyssinian medals came to
him from his fighting throughout the
Umbeyla, Abyssinian and Lusha cam
paigns.

Young Stanley on Trial at Canyon.

Louis Stanley, the young man who
was found guilty of horse stealing
in Judge Dustin's court last Spring,

this city and was taken by him to
Canyon City where Stanley was
turned over to Grant county officials.

POST OFFICE SEEKS
new QUARTERS
The Department Receiving Bids on
New Location and Equipment.

G. w. Limbaugh, postoffice in
spector was here from Portland from
Friday until Tuesday, working on
the proposition of new quarters for
the Heppner postoffice.
Specifications and blank proposals
for new quarters with complete new
equipment have been In the hands
of Postmaster Richardson for some
time; in fact notices calling for bids
along this line have been up in the
potsoffice here since last April, and
to date the inspector has had but one
bid submitted to him. This is some
what of a disappointment to Mr..
Limbaugh as he desired to get a
number of bids in hand that the de-
partment might be able to make Its
selection in more satisfactory man
ner.
We have no definite knowledge as
to where this bid comes from, but
understand that 1t has been sub
mitted by the Heppner Building &
Loan Association, and should 1t be
accepted by the government, the
postoffice will 60 to the north room
of the Fair building.
Other citizens of Heppner have
become interested In the past few
days, however, and the department
will doubtless receive more proposals
before the time is up, which is We'd
nesday of next week.
The new arrangement calls for
complete new equipment and will
give Heppner postottice facilities that
have been greatly needed for many
years. AS matter Of fact 1t would
be hard to find place this size any
where in the country more poorly
equipped than is the Heppner post.

succeeding administrations of the Of

DIXIE JUBILEE SINGERS
HERE NEXT WEEK
Colored Entertainers VIII Present
Second Number of the Lyceum
Course at the High School
Auditorium.

Buckner's Dixie Jubilee Singers
will present the second number of the
lyceum course at the high school au-
ditorium on Wednesday evning, Nov.
25. This company of singers has
been entertaining the American pub
lie for over period of twenty years
and during all that time it has never
been necessary to utter an apology
either for the work or the actions of
the company. w. C. Buckner has
been manager and basso for the COM
pany during the entire period. He
is said to be without question the best
known basso and manager of his
race.
The program presented by the ju-
bilee singers is the greatest success
ever presented by company of this
nature. They draw from fine rep
ertorie of music, rich in harmony and
varied in selection. They are re-
plete with plantation songs, negro
melodies, camp meetin' songs, comic
darky songs, negro lullabies, sweet
sentiment songs and quartette work;
there will be solos, duos, and trios
sung by the master voices of the Dix
lie Jubilee Singers.
The Dalles Chronicle writes: "The
visit of the Dixie Jubilee Singers to
The Dalles proved to be musical
feast. Such an aggregation of har
mony 1t has not been our pleasure
to hear for many years. In the first
place they have the voices, and in
the second place they have the dis
cernment, which proves to them
that nothing pleases better than old
songs, and so the majority of their
selections were negro melodies and
familiar airs, though several classic
numbers were given. The soprano,
tenor and bass were particularly fine
and solos by each of these were
greatly appreciated. The male quar-
tet was compelled to answer encore
after encore, and in their calliope
imitation caused an uproarious burst
Of applause. This was also the case

ner, in the hands of Madame Buckner
kept time to their singing. The sing
ers were most gracious and never re-
fused an encore"

Singers at the high school auditor
ium next Wednesday evening. Seats
can be reserved at Minor & Co.'S.

If any of these matters require at

These matters should receive the
prompt attention of the school board.
