a NUMBER of officers of the Servian
army have been arrested because
they demanded that the assassins OF
King Alexander and Queen Draga be
punished. The people have taken
their part, and it is said that the
new King has asked the Gar of Rus
sia to change his attitude on this
question, or the King will have to re-
sign, as he could not punish those
who placed him on his miserable
throne, and those of his people who
demand it, will be irreconcileablea as
long as Russia demands their punish
ment as a precedent to their recog-
milton of fhe new dynasty. But the
murderers of the King must go. The
civilized nations, the stability of all
Governments, demand that all assas-
sins be punished with death

gigantic swindle in the Beaumont

details are just coming to light. The
independent oil companies of Beau.

Recently some of the leading mer
of the wrecked or iojured companies
determined to investigate, and In
two days time raised s27 900 with
which to push the work. The de
velopments, it is declared, are simply
astonishing. 1t is shown that nu

ruined by salt water were put IL

As fast as company went to thu
wall its property was bought in by
the Standard. BY accident, it is said
the desperate work of the STANDARD
was recently discovered.
The Standard Oil company lonl
ago built pipe line from Beaumon
to the Gulf of Mexico. A pumpinI
station was erected at Beaumont an
another at the gulf. Oil was pumpe'
through the pipe line to the gulf an
thence shipped to various parts o

Obituary..

Stevenson-Olive Gertrude, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Stevenson,
was born in Springfield, O., Nov. "a,
1875, and died at her fathers home,
near Bellefontaine, Sept. 3, 1908, aged
q years, 9 months and days.
Gertie was called to her heavenly
home after a protracted illness,
through which she was never heard
to murmur, though much of the time
her sufferings seemed almost unbear-
able. We say. "called to her heaven
, ly inheritance, one of those ''blessed"
who are redeemed by the blood of
Jesus" At an early age she pro-
fessed her faith, a faith which she
had exercised from childhood, In
Jesus as her Savior, and was received
into full membership in the M. E.
church at Hopewell.
Her beautiful record is that of a
loving and devoted daughter and sis
ter, an earnest Christian, a true and
loving friend.
To those who remain 1t seems sad
that one SO young, cheerful and hope
full should be called to give up the
pleasures of life and say "good bye
to the loved ones; to relinquish al
the cherished hopes for the futur,
life here and pass into the beyond
but, when that departing, is to b.
with Jesus, all the sadness of the las
"farewell" is entirely taken away
ITO be with Christ is far better"
To the fond parents and loving sis
ters there is the beautiful picture o
a loved and loving child and sister
with those who have gone before
in the heavenly home. Her spirit
with God who gave it. her body 1
