A NARROW ESCAPE.

l.. j. shoffner Has n Narrow Escape From
Drowning.
e. j. Shoffner, the popular floor
manager at the Friendship Fire Com
pany's fair, had narrow escape from
drowning Sunday afternoon in Roanoke
river. Mr.. Shoffner is the happy nos.
SCISSOR of fine horse and buggy.
On the evening in question he invited
young lady to go driving. The route
extended beyond the river and the re-.
turn was by route where no bridge
existed The stream was swollen from
excessive rains and looked dark and
turbid, but Mr.. Shoffner, being daring
driver, boldly plunged in. When near
the center of the stream the water crept
up into the bed of the vehicle. The
young lady took refuge on tho seat.
The buggy began to move down the
stream. The horse was powerless also
and all went down together. MIR. Shoif-
ner threw the lines against the dash
board and rising to an upright position
was just on the point of leaping into The
turbid stream and make an effort to save
himself and lady by swimming to the
shore, when fortunately the horse and
vehicle struck bottom again. Then all
reached the bank, little wet but

AN Ex-ROYAL OUTLAW.


Milan, of Scryia, Is Indeed n Nan With
out i Country.
Milan, the former king of Scrvia. oc-
cupies Mt the present moment the most
extraordinary position which it is posi-
bic to conceive.
He has abandoned not only all his
rights as n member of the reigning
house of Scrvia, as we'll as his property,
honors and dignitics in the kingdom,
but he has even renowned his citizen
ship and undertaken never again to set
his foot in the country.
There is some talk, says the New
York Recorder, of his becoming nat
uralizcd rs Russian, but he has not
done so yet, and accordingly he is just
now without nationality or civil status.
He is without what the French describe
as an etat civil, and is, to all intents
and purposes, an outlaw, since he pos
sesses no legal rights of any kind what
socver.
lie is the most homeless and aban-
doned of creatures, and his position is
SO abnormal that the emperor of Aus
tria has deemed it necessary to deprive
him of the honorary colonclship of the
Austrian regiment of infantry which he
has hitherto held and to remove his
name from the Austrian army list.
1t is the first time that q king has
ever placed himself in such n prcdica-
ment as that of the ex-monarch of
Servia, and it is to be hoped that it will
not constitute precedent. g

Search for n Missing Man Discovers His
Exnct Double In Everything.
Twelve years ago Bryce II. Blair, Jr,
son of n prominent citizen of this city,
went to Colorado to seek his fortune,
writes a Carbondalo (Pa.) correspon-
dent. His parents heard regularly
from him for three years. The last
time he wrote them he was in Marys-
vale, u. T., but was on the point of GO
ing to Idaho. No tidings have come
from him since then. His father has
been constantly searching for him for
nine years. Not long ago he inserted
an advertisement in Salt Lake news
paper, describing his son infinitely,
among other things saying that he was
lcft-handed and asking for information
concerning the missing young man. A
reply to this advertisement was received
from man in Salt Lake City, who said
man named Bryce II. Blair, answering
exactly the description of the missing
Carbondalc man, even to being left
handed, was living in Lander, wy. T.,
and had been there about nine years.
Young Blair's parents, while unable to
account for the long silence of their
son had no doubt that they had found
him ut last
The clcw was followed up, but, al
though the Bryce Blair in Lander is the
exact double of the Curbondalc man Of
the same name, in age, size, weight and
pccuiarities, he proved that he was the
son, of james Blair, of Nebraska, and
was not even related in the rcmotcst
degree to the missing namcsaltc.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing among saloon keepers and
dealers in cigars and tobaccos as to
when they will be required to take out
license. Licenses granted saloon men
do not expire until June 80. and under

cigar and tobacco dealers are relieved
