Berlin, May 25.-The declarations
of Count Goluchowski, the imperial
minister of foreign affairs, before the
AustrO-Hungarian delegates have
created intense interest here. They
were received in the main with salts
faction as expressing continued and
cordial faith in the triple alliance,
put his reference to commercial re-
l%ations, intimating that they must not
be seriously disturbed if political
friendship is to continue, is here in
terpreted as a palmer hint than is
usually given from Vienna that Ger
many must not yield too far to the
a%grarians.
The other points mentioned by the
Czech and Polish leaders here are
considered unimportant, especially as
Hungary in unison favors continued
friendship with Germany. The press
points out that the Russo-Austrian I'M
derstanding regarding the Balkans
is still valid, hence serious disturb
ances there are improbable.
The case of Queen Draga of Servle.
is almost universally regarded in Ger
many from it's commercial side. Off
cial circles deny that the affair is
fraught with serious political import.
The newspapers throughout the
week have printed many anecdotes
and much amusing correspondence
from Servia. Several German COM
mercial authorities consider that
Queen Draga's health may improve
in view of the fact that she has been
sent to Frazensbad, one of the best
places for curing certain ills.
The feeling throughout Germany on
the China wal still continues and now
even includes the emperor, who, dur

Reicheland, was thoroughly Informed
regarding the present state of affairs
in China and %thereupon agreed with

LIQUOR LICENSE LAW.
What Druggists and Brewers Shall
Pay is a Question Asked.

Just now the new liquor license
law operates in regard to certain
dealers, continues to puzzle some
county officials, says the Helena In
dependent. Many are of the opinion
that the new law repealed all sec
tions of the law on the statute books
when it was enacted. If this was
true, when a druggist used liquor Of
any kind in a prescription, he would
be subject to prosecution unless he
had a license as a liquor dealer. 1t
is the same with brewers. Under the
old law brewers who sold not less
than four gallons al a time, paid a
certain license, but if the new law
repealed that section, they would
have to take out the license required
by the present law.
Attorney General Donovan has had
several requests from county officers
for an opinion on the license law, the
latest coming from County Attorney
Hathhorn Of Yellowstone county.
These are the three questions Mr..
HathhOrn asked:
81. What license shall be collected
from druggists selling liquor under
section 4063 Of the political code, as
amended by house bill No. sO?s
z. what license snail be collected
from wholesale liquor dealers, who
also have a retail establishment in
connection with their wholesale bus
ness?
"3 What .4cense shall be collected
from brewers?'
In reply the attorney general quotes
the section of the license law apply
ing to druggists, which was not re-
pealed by the new law. and also
makes reference to that section of
the law referring to brewers, which
also was not repealed. This is the
reply:
Section 4O65 of the political code,
as amended March Z, 1897. (session

body cannot even be conjectured.
From the brief sight of the body
which the fishermen had it is
their opinion that it could not
have been in the water over
twenty four hours. Last night
the park patrolman found man
who appeared to be i'll lying on
the bench, and after assisting
him he was joined bv three young
men, with whom the officer left
the sick man. All were strangers
to the officer, and the suppose
ton is that the dead man may be
the person who was assisted by
the patrolman, but of this fact
there is no evidence.

A Tornado at Grand Island. Neb.. Scat.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July D
A tornado struck Hall county
yesterday afternoon, causing
great destruction TO property
and possibly loss of life. In this
city Gentry's circus was wrecked
and twelve persons injured, two
of whom may die,
Most of the injured are coun-
try people who came to town to
attend the Fourth of July cele-
bration and the circus. The
storm made an utter wreck OF the
circus, part of the property be-
inc scattered over space
twenty miles long by two miles
wide. Cages containing animals
were overturned and many valu-
able ponies killed. One cage OF
monkeys was rolled distance OF
two miles, passing through wire
fences and out-houses in its wild
fight. Every animal was killed
and the wheels torn from the
cage.
The storm broke from prac-
tically clear sky, and a few mo-

brightly and not breath OF air

100 in the shade. The peculiar
stiffness of the atmosphere alarm

Gus people did not have time to

cages before the storm broke In
all its fury, overturning every
thing in its path.
In an instant the tents were
torn to shreds by the force OF
the wind, and a panic seized the
spectators. A wild rush was
made for the open air and the
crowd fought and struggled to
escape from the tangle Of ropes
and wires. Another fierce gust
of wind caused the seats to COL

The incessant downpour and ire

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, July
6.-George W. Shaw, a farmer,
committed suicide at his home,
five miles southwest of here, by
shooting himself in the right
temple. The cause was a practi-
cal joke. About two weeks ago
Shaw and another man had a
fight, and Shaw gave his foe a
drubbing.
To scare Shaw some boys told
him that his victim would die be-
fore morning. Shaw replied
that his victim could not beat
him, and he went home and shot
himself. The man with whom
Shaw had the fight is not seri-
ously hurt. Shaw was SO years
old, married, but had no chill
dren. He was born and reared
in the neighborhood in which he
came to his tragic end.

they do snakes. Last year we thought

not In the way we expected.
When the stuffed cat was discovered
in the tree, bird few around and told
all it's relatives. You see, they do not

One of their number could not leave.
She was sitting on a round nest made
of weeds and grass and leaves In which
were six spotless, greenish blue eggs,

They perched on the yellow rose tree,
on the bridal wreath" on the lilac
