FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE p, 1903.

THE MURDER Of King Alexander and
Oueen Draga in their palace at Belgrade
Wednesday night has shocked the civil
lied world. The crime is revolving
enough if the results were confined to
Seryia. but the revolution and regicide
has caused the greatest apprehension
throughout Europe. 1t is feared that
in conjunction with the trouble in
Macedonia the revolution may lead to
international complications, involving
disastrous consequences to Bulgaria. In
speaking of the probable effect the over
turning of the government will have
upon the peace of Europe and the
Balkan situation, a prominent official OF
the State Department says he firmly
believes that trouble will result from
the revolution in Servia The party
now in power will be strongly pro-Kus-
sian. and naturally, anti-Austrian as
we'll As unti-Turkish What the i'm
mediate result will be he does not care
TO predict The details in connection
with the butchery of the king and
queen will form a bloody chapter IN
history. 1t is said that the bodies OF
the king and queen were thrown from
their bedroom window into the park
after they had been killed. King Alex
ander was shot through the neck at the
first fire. and the rush of blood sut-
located him. Queen Draga received
several shots and after she was dead the
regicides slashed her body with their
swords and thurst it through and
through. The rugs in the royal cham
Der were soaked with blood which
flowed over the floors. The window
hangings we're torn down and trampled
under foot. the windows broken and the
objects ofart shattered III wantOn destruc-
ton. The murderers afterwards en-
braced and congratulated one another
on the success of the plot, and announc-
ed ioyfully to those below that the
king and queen had been disposed of.
Such is the gruesome description OF
what is to form a chapter Of the history
of the early part Of the twentieth cen
tury. What train of evils is to follow
in its wake remains to be seen.

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause Of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy condition.
1t is not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now
sold in every town and village in the civ
ilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price % and 20 cts.
