Quite a surprise was given to Mr.

sitting in his usual place Of rest when
he heard some Fords rattle up to
his gate in the darkness. He ran for
his Sunday shoes, but the party was
wise senuf" to have Fred hide them
Mr.. Compton received the usual
birthday spanking; all talked OF dip
ping him in the water tank, but, poor
fellow. he begged so hard till that
was omitted.
The children played games in the
yard while the old folks talked about
their neighbors and olden times. Miss
Belle Compton played a few seiec,
lions on the piano and then came
Miss Bertha Compton who played
some old time hymns and all joined
in the singing.
Mrs. Hine and Mrs. Suffer surprls.
ed the party with delicious ice cream
Mr. Compton was asked to eat a dish
of cream for each year, but ne being
forty-two years old couldn't put down
quite that much. We think ne mac
''enuf1 cream for one time.
Those present were Mrs. j. u. Eari
Mrs A. II. Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs
Hine and children Mr.. and Mrs. Ear
and children, Mr.. and Mrs. Suite

REPUBLICANS EM6ALM 80. 49,
THE BONUS BILL

One of the best evidences that this
Congress does not intend to revive
and pass the Soldiers Bonus Bill is
the fact that it rejected an amend.
ment setting a date when the bill
should be reported back.
How effectively the bill was dis
posed of, so far as this Congress is
concerned, was humorously stated by
Senator Reed democrat, of Missouri
when he declared that "in sending it
back in that way it will be as effect
lively killed and as thoroughly dead
as was Julius Cesar" and then said:
IF there is spark Of life left in
it, when the veins are filled with the
Penrose embalming fluid, the Angel
Gabriel could not resurrect it, 1t will
be in as bad condition as the corpse
of the mother.in-law was after it had
been treated in accordance with the
request of the son-in-law In the very
ancient stOry--which is the only kind
l know-when he replied to tele-
gram:
Mother is dead. Shall cremate.
embalm or bury?" and he replied;
do all three-take no chances"

BRITISH ACT ALONE
IN CLEARING SILESIA
Henniker Moves Against In
surgents Without French
Sanction.
BIZ The Associated Press.

BERLIN, June 12.--The British Gen.
Hanniker, in command of British troops
In Upper Silesia, has assumed the re-
sponsibility for clearing the region OF
insurgents and is operating without OIL
fetal sanction OF the French head OF the
Interallled Commission. Gen. Lerond. but
has the cooperation OF the Italian forces,
according to advices printed in Berlin
newspapers. The advices state that the
entire area is expected again to be under
allied control within ten days.
The killing of an English sergeant by
Polish insurgents is not expected to az
feet in any way the British plans TO
pacify the country with the least possi-
BILE bloodshed, and no reprisals will be
permitted. 1t Is understood that Gen.
Henniker does not contemplate direct
effort at disarmament of the district
but merely intends to reestablish allied
prestige by dissolution of the organized
rebel forces.
1t is hoped this may be accomplished
without the actual use OF force, al
though it is understood that in the
event the Poles offer resistance in the
industrial districts. particularly in Kat
towitz. where they are strongest, the
British are prepared to quell them with
rifles and machine guns.

BELFAST. June 12.-Sharp rioting oc-
Cured in the York street area here to-
day, resulting in one man being shot
in the stomach and thirteen others
otherwise wounded Three men were
found shot to death In various parts
Of the city.
The disturbance began yesterday
evening between few people. and
rapidly spread until both factions re-
ceived reinforcements. During the
rioting many bricks We're thrown and
revolver shots were prolific. A bomb
thrown by one of the rioters blew off
a mans hand and seriously injured a
woman
The police then fired a volley OF
shots among the rioters. finally dubbed
the mob into quietude and dispersed
them. When the curfew was rung
fourteen persons had been treated in
hospital.
York street tonight was again a bat
tie ground. the police being compelled TO
fire on the crowd Several cases of
bullet wounds were sent to the hospital.
Special Constable Sturdy died OF his
wounds
Disturbances also occurred in the
Kashoir road Falls division, the chief
storm centre OF the riots last July. and
here the police fired on Sim F'ein snip
ers, An unidentified man was shot dead.
The question Is being widely raised
as to whether the killings here over
this week end will interfere with the
visit of King George to participate In
the state opening of the Ulster Par
lament on June %. The series Of
tragedies during the week end eclipsed
In savagery any previous shootings.
The victims included an aged clergy
man and three young business men,
the latter being found dead in the
northern section of the city. The Very
Rev. James Finlay of Bawnboy, County
Cavan. so years old and former dean
OF Leighlin, who had been a clergyman
since 1857. on answering knock at his
door last night was confronted by a
number of masked men. Without par
ley. they took him outside, shot him
dead, then battered his head to pulp
and burned his residence.
The other three men killed were Will
ldTl Merit n DdTDtE NIdldftlN IidlIpbnIly,
postman, and Alexander Mcbride a
saloonkeeper. all residents OF Belfast
AS their deaths occurred during the
curfew hours. the killings are generally
believed here % have been in reprisal
for the shooting OF a police sergeant and
two constables on Friday.
Many men strangely attired we're con-
cerned in the grim episodes. In each
instance the assassins arrived In a motor
car. took the Intended victim from bed
and riddied him with bullets outside his
house. Then the body was placed In
the car and removed to the northern
heights of the city. where It was placed
in lonely fields. The relatives say the
murdered men were assured they were
wanted for Identification purposes and
would be allowed to return TO their
homes. Kerr and Mcbride leave wives
and infant children. Halfpenny was un-
married.
