to avoid hostile demonstrations. Two

carri d up to the room where the bodies
of Tie la4e King and queen were lying.
The corpscs were then put in the collins
and the latter were placed in n hearse,
which was hurriedy driven to the old
cemetery. where the other members OF
the Obernovitch family are inferred. In
priests were present at the funeral The
metropolitan of Belgrade was absent. The
whole ceremony lasted only few min
utes The body Of the late Premier Mark
ovitch Will be buried with military
honors
Another story current is that the bodies
of King Alexander and Queen Draga
were buried in a large pit dug in the viii
lage of Rakovica, and that. as mark OF
ignominy. the bodies of their murdered
relatives ana those of the military killed
were placed above them and then the
common grave was filled with earth

Many horrible stories are ahoat in re
gard to the tragedy the most revolving
of them being that the soldiers outraged
Queen Draga and mutilated the body OF
King Alexander and that those who were
admitted to the palace yesterday to view
the remains spat and stamped on them.

and Queen Dra3a, it is announced. We're

Wanted Her Brother Chosen.

Queen Draga had a little plan of her
own in this emergency, which was to pro-
claim her brother, Nikoden Lunjevitza. as
heir apparent He and she were children
of a respectable horse dealer at Belgrade,
and the boy. who is said to be a very de-
cent sort of a fellow. had absolutely no
claim upon the throne and had no sup
portel's except his sister. When a year
or more ago It became known that she
haa influenced the king TO favorable
consideration OF her brothers claims, The
ministry decided that 1t was their patriot
c duty to stand in the way OF the con-
summation OF any such plan. The cabinet
called upon the king at his palace and
asked for an audience. When the king
appeared it was with the queen upon his
arm. TO the suggestion of the prime

East St. Louis today, as whole. was
a scene of disaster. No one could be
found today with anything like a def

mention of millions of dollars" was the
nearest even the best informed citizens
could come to it. There was a great dis

described as a degenerate and the scan

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to- ward preventive measures The best thought of the world Is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to pre- vent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with. can be D. e. vented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip). and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven In many thousands of cases In which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be re- lied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu. monia often results from a slight co d when no, danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest then it Is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take ChambeTlain's Cough Rem edy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by all druggists.
