THE KING'S Catholics and Protestants are Stirred up Over the Wording of it. PARLIAMENT HAS King George Has Brought the Oath LONDON, May 11 King George's first row, in Jie opinion today of the best informed churchmen and poli ticians ( i England, will result from his objection to the ami-Catholic character of the oath that ho will be required to take when he opens his first parliament. Already the anti-Catholics, who form an overwhelming part of the population, ar opposing s:.y change in the oa' a and arc impu vui.ing mem bers ofp:ui!uiii Tit not 10 carry out the. suggestion J:;.; a lew (. the offending sentences be modified.

Now King George has brought the issue to a head. The declaration to which King George is opposed reads: "I solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify and declare that I do believe thatjn the sacrament of the Lords Supper, there is not any trans-substantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body of Christ, at or after the conse cration thereof, by any person; and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the; mass as now used in the church of Rome, are sup i e s erstitious and idolatrous; and I do solemnly, in the presence of God, profess, testify and declare that I do nake this declaration, and every part thereof, in the plain, ordinary sense of words as commonly understood by English protestants, without any eva sion, equivocation or mental reser vation whatever and without any dis pensation already granted me for this purpose by thepope or any other auth LOOK WHO'S HERE The a"bove is a picture of Halley's comet as it appeared to a representa tive of the News about 0:00 this morn ing.

How Reads. ority or person whatsoever." John Redmond, the nationalist lea der, and the Duke of Norfolk, the foremost Catholics in England, are lending their aid to the new king in his effort to have this declaration mod ified, The proposals suggested arc- to change the words "are superstitious and idolatrous" to "are contrary to my belief" and to omit the reference to the pope. King George has not indicated whether such changes would inert his opposition to the declaration. The Orangemen and Protestant ex tremists say they will fight even these changes. Whatever the outcome of the discussion, it is believed George has started a religious controversy that will grow until it creates a war between Catholics and Protestants There is the li vliest speculation today as to whether King George will follow the immemorial custom of English monarchs by aligning himself actively wifh the Free Masons, an order in which he 'is not even initiated. His father was one of the leading Ma sons of the world and nearly all the other English rulers have stood at the head of thiv order in England. The eagerness with which the court phvsicians are denving that the queen ; mother's health is in the least impaired has given rise to apprehension that she is really ill. There is also grave fear that the new king will overtax his strength at the outset of his reign Since the death of his father, King George has had but little rest. He is working under tremendous pressure and in addition to his own affairs of state, he is trying to untangle a mass of uncompleted business left by the late king and is personally arranging most of the details of his father's fu neral, lie has had only an average of four hours' sleep since the death of King Edward. to such early morning work.

Earl Travis was a traveler today to Syracuse where he was called on business. Misses Jessie Todd and Nettie Stantoii of Union were visitors in town yesterday. W ' m At the Court House. A petition to sell real estate for his minor son was filed in the district eourt today by George W. Walling, the land in question being some lots j in West Greenwood, valued at about : $400 and owned by Donald A. Walling the fouiteen vear old son of Mr. Walling. Missouri Pacific Claim Agent Ste phens of Atchison, was in the city to day attempting to affect a settlement in county court with Mrs. B. J. Hudson, who's husband was killed about six or eight months ago while in the employment of the company at Eagle. Mrs. Hudson was recently appointed administratrix in the small estate left by the deceased. No defi nite settlement was made between the parties today. Mr. Hudson was an engine hostler for the company at Eagle when one day, while at work on an engine, he was struck by a fast freight and caught between the ten der and the cab of his locomotive while attempting to jump. He was inter nally injured so that he died a week later. Economy the Thing. County Commissioner Friedrich in forms the News that the county jail (sic) has been placcjl in a state of re pair at such slight expense that the taxpayers of the county cannot but be pleased. In yesterday's News the information wrs given that the roof of the jail leaked so badly that when there was a rainfall the entire build ing from top to bottom was in a sponge like condition, By the use of cotton flannel and tar the roof has been fixed and may stand fixed for several days ami no water can now go through it unless it rains again. Economy is a great thing and the people of Cass county are a good deal like the old lady down east when told by her hus band that both of them would have to economize remarked, "oh, very well, you shave yourself and I'll cut your hair. Repair Jail Roof. The old jail is having a cotton flannel hood placed over it's lid today to re pair the leaky condition oT the roof. The building was given a treatment of this "kind about a year ago, but it is taking wattr like a fish again. The heavy flannel coating is placed on the roof and covered w ith a thick tar paint which makes it water tight for some time, but the wind tears it loose around the edges. It will be repaired so that it will shed water for a few months however there is nothing permanent about the work. Every time a train passes on the Burlington, a few blocks distant, the sand shakes out from the old mortar in the walls and showers on the ground below until each brick stands out a distance of at least three inches and if it continues to stand much longer, it will be as worthy of note as the leaning tower of Pisa.

Tomorrow is the big day which was supposed to bring a freezing temper ature over Nebraska and kill off all the early vegetables and budding trees. The prophecy was made some time ago; that the comet would af fect the earth at this time in such a way that the merciry would crawl back into the bulb and stay for a while. It is Friday, the thirteenth that certainly sounds like an unlucky day, but it is not expected that we will suffer the cold wave for the general weather forecasts are for warmer. The comet is originating all manner of prophcsicB over the country and stirring up many different stories of it's appearance years ago, but as no two of them coincide, it is a safe to east all of them aside and wait to form your own opinion. Knight of the Flowing Dowl. W. J. Rhodes, a familiar character aroiing the booze emporiums of the city was up before Judge Archer again this morning onthe charge of vagrancy and drunkenness.
