When the King Sang and Danced.

A great national celebration was
held as the Ark was borne up to
Jerusalem where a new tabernacle
had been prepared for the sacred
symbol. The procession was as elab-
crate in ceremonial as possible The
priests in gorgeous array accompan-
led the Ark. In an excess of religious
and patriotic fervor, the multitudes
thronged about the leaders. The sig
nificance of the hour seemed to be
glimpsed by all. As David's entrance
into Jerusalem made that city for
ever one of the worlds political CAPT.
tails, so this formal entrance of the
Ark marked the beginning of the
sacredness of the city as a religious
shrine; an identity which it has re-
tanned through all the vicissitudes of
history until the present day.
As the great company came up the
hill toward Jerusalem, singing sacred
songs, another procession streamed
forth from the gates of Jerusalem to
meet it. This was led by the king
himself, and by the priests and
princes. In the fashion that still OBJ
tains in the Orient, both professions
expressed their enthusiasm by dances
Those of us who are used only to our
modern western social dances with
the two sexes participating, can hard
ly understand the individual posturing
and leaping and posing, which make
up the oriental dance. In utter self
abandonment the king and his people

LARGER THAN LAST YEAR
Kennewick Goes Ahead in Spite of
Falling Of in County and
School District

Although the assessed valuation of
Benton county as compiled by As
SCISSOR A. H. Wheaton shows a re-
duction over last years figures the
valuation Of the city Of Kennewick
has increased nearly $4,000. There
are few, if any, changes in last years
assessed real estate values in the city
but the increase is due to the erec-
tion of several new buildings during
the year.

$13,S78, ,161 or a decrease of $209, 1888
under last year. This years city val
uation is $S75, ,099, an increase of S.

trict shows decrease of $34, ,691, this

BIG FOREIGN LOAN is
AID TO WHEAT MARKET
Chicago Prices Take Jump But Eff
feet on Western Markets
is Uncertain

(R. E. Pratt, Mgr. Empire Grain Coz
Principally as a result of the COM
pletion of the big foreign loan wheat
has advanced more or less in all mar
kets the past few days. The biggest
advance occurred yesterday in the far
futures in the Chicago market when
December wheat was selling at a large
discount below spot prices. The ad-
vance in December wheat has been
about ten cents. Just how much this
will effect the prices for immediate
delivery remains to be seen, especially
in the far west where export condi-
tions are far from satisfactory.
1t is reasonable to expect more or
less unsettled conditions for a few
days but some higher prices may be
expected in all markets than existed
before the completion of the loan.

CRACK SAFE AND
GET FIVE C0PPERs
Robbers Blow Up Unlocked Safe
in Office of the Tum-A-Lum
Lumber Company

Five cents in pennies was the swag
which unknown robbers carried off
from the office of the Tum-A-Lum
Lumber company after the safe had
been blown up last night. The rob-
berry was not discovered until this
morning when Manager r. C. Noun
sey went to his office and in the mean
time the robbers had made their get
away. Up till late this afternoon no
trace of them had been found and no
clue established as to their identity.
The Office safe was complete
wreck, the explosion having blown the
door from it's hinges and swelled the
other three walls. Sheriff Mike Toner
of Walla Walla, who came over at
the request of the head officials Of the
company said the robbers had used
mixture of nitro-glycerine and dy-
Mantle to do the job.
1t is thought the robbers made their
entrance to the Office by the use of a
pass key as both doors were locked
this morning. They were evidently
in a hurry and overlooked the inn
portant detail Of trying the safe door
before applying the explosive. The
safe was unlocked and the five pennies
could have been extricatd without diff
ficulty.
Other than the ruined safe no dam
age was done. Some company pa
pers were set afire and slightly
scorched, the robbers having evident
ly extinguished the flames before they
left. Some of these papers are the
same ones which were carried away
by robbers who entered the company's
office about a year and half ago.
About a month after the robbery they
were found near the G. NJ. Annis
home.
1t is thought that last nights rob-
berry occurred about 10 o'clock as l..
G. Moore, who lives just across the
street is certain he heard an explo-
sion at that hour. There was q train
passing over the N. P. tracks at that
time which prevented other nearby
residents from hearing the report.

councilmen are going to be needed
to fill the places Of the five whose

fellows turn. 1t is understood

generally signed, requesting L. E.
johnson to become a candidate but as
yet the bank president has declined
to make the trip to the city hall.
There may be plenty of aldermanic
timber in the woods, but to date none
of it has come out. Councilman H.
r. Vibber, whose term in the second
ward expires, says he has no desire
to continue in Office and would like
to bequeath his toga to some other
good man. John Sercombe and Jos.
Olbrich, who are the outgoing coun-
cilmen in the first and third wards
have neither filed nor given any in
timation that they Intend doing so.
Charley Haas, councilman at large,
likewise has made no statement as
to whether or not he will again be
a. candidate.
Mrs. M. E. Soth said this afternoon
that she will be a candidate for re-

is probable that c. B. Hamlet will
again file for city attorney.
