 King Alexander seems to have had a very narrow escape from the loss or his throne. Milan had succeeded in surrounding his son with his own crea- lures, and before three hours had passed after AleXander's announcement of his determination to marry Mime. Draga, he had acquired a conviction that not only the entire cabinet, but likewise the military commandant of Belgrade, the chief of police the com mander of his body guard. the major ity of his aides de camp and even his private secretary, Volkovitch. were traitors and more ready to obey the vii! of his father than his own.

MANAGEMENT Is APPROVED.

1t will be good news to the Modern
Woodmen of this city to know that
the Illinois and Wisconsin insurance
departments, which have had force
of examiners at work ut the head office
here for the past two months, have
found the books and funds of the So
ciety absolutely correct and intact,

which were recently submitted, they

ing new members in sufficient num-
ber5 to further reduce the average age

Supt. James K. b. Van Cleave. of

takes occasion to express doubt as to
the ability of any management. how
ever able, to long maintain this pres
ent percentage of growth. He says:
"A corresponding rate of increase for

almost incredible that any such in

FINE HOME BURNED.

A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR LOSS.

Elm Hill, the handsome Moline
home of II. 4. Barnard, overlooking
the city from the bluff at the head of
Twenty-tirSt street, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire Saturday evening at 9
o'clock. The loss will be $5O, 900, of
which $40, 900 IS on the house itself
and $40 900 on the furnishings. libra
ries and pictures. The house was in
sured for about $25. 900.
The fire burned furiously from the
first, and the efforts of the tiremen 10
stop it were futile The water they
poured out from the two lines of hose
was as useless to quench the raging
flames as the snowbails that the little
boys tossed into the fire.
The house was a large 3-stOry and
basement brick residence built in the
best style of 20 years ago, and was one
of the most pretentiouS and magnificent
homes of the city. Standing upon its
high eminence overlooking the whole
city, 1t presented n magnificent sight
rs it burned. Wrapped in flames
which burst forth from every door
and window on all sides. and shot
high above the roof int the night, the
great house presented grandly beau
tiful sight, attracting hundreds of
people. The clouds were lighted up
with n red glow and the snow covered
hill and the streets below were made
light as day.
The house has not been occupied for
several weeks by members OF Mr.. Bar
nard's family, who, while the old
home was being overhauled and inter
ior improvements made, have taken
up their residence in the &. A. Bar
nard house, 1927 Fifth avenue. Thus
when the fire started no one was in or
near the house. None of the workmen
had been about during the week and
the building was entirely alone.

Origin n Mystery.

How the fire started is a mystery
that has yet to be solved. When first
dis covered it was burning most
strongly in the northeast corner OF
the basement. From there it rose
through the stories above, and driven
by the wind swept through the
house.
Within n few minutes of the time
it was first seen and before the fire
men arrived, the whole interior was
ablaze.
1t seems hardly probable that the
fire could have been set by the fur
mace, for neither it noraGy connection
was near the place of its uprising.
Spontaneous combustion and human
agency are the only other means of
starting it, but there is no clue upon
either.

Old Hickory at Work.

BossBURG, WASH, Oct. 20. The
Journal notes the arrival of Fleetwood
Ward of New York to look after the
interests of the Old Hickory Gold Min
ing Company, of which he is the secre-
tary and treasurer. He has made a
thorough inspection of the properties
owned by the company and has con-
tracted for considerable amount of
work to begin at once on the Victor
and the l.. C. Kid. These mines are on
the Reservation, the Victor some 3 IL
miles northwest of Bossburg; the Kid
about two miles south, on the Column
bia river.
The Victor has a wonderful ledge,
some 300 feet wide, highly mineralized,
from which surface assays were secur-
ed running from s. to $500 per ton.
The ore carries a large percentage of
copper. The tunnel is already complet-
ed within 20 feet of the ledge. The
ore of the Kid has been pronounced
similar to the ore of the famous Re
public mine, and as the ledge of the
Kid runs due west from the river i'll a
straight line toward the Republic it is
not unreasonable to suppose that it
may make another Republic right at
our doors. Work is also to be prosecut-
ed on the Old Hickory, the New York,
the Denslow and the Ward mines, all
of which belong to the Old Hickory
company.
