Army in Conspiracy.

Army in Conspiracy.
The chief conspirators. $50 in num-
ber. were all men of high rank, who
acted in concert with the army. The
participation of the latter in the as
sassination, which blotted out the OBJ
renovitch dynasty, which has ruled
Servia with short intermission of
nearly century. is mainly due to the
attitude of King Alexander and his
consort towards the officers of the
army whom he always treated with
scant courtesy Has desire to remove
the war school from Belgrade to She
batz particularly gave the officers Of
tense.
Dissatisfaction against King Alex
anders rule has been actuated since
his suspension of the constitution last
April, and it is from that time that
the military plot dates. The organi
cation OF the bloody plot was carried
out with consummate skill.
Prime Movers.
The prime movers in the plot were
Ljubomir Schiokovics and Jislav Veil
kovics, who have entered the new
cabinet az ministers of justice and
finance respectively. M. Schiokovics
was condemned to twenty years penal
servitude for an attempt to assassin
ate former King Milan.
The plot was carried out by the
principal officers of the army, among
whom was Col. Maschin. whose broth
er was Draga's first husband, anS
Col. Naumovitch, the kings adjutant.
Details Of Scheme.
The troops were held ready in the
barracks. All leave was stopped and
detachments were told off to surround
the houses of the various ministers.

surround the palace, and other troops
were instructed to prepare to put
down any outbreak on the part of
the kings partisans.
At 2 O'Clock in the morning the
perpetrators of the tragedy appeared

At the sight Of Maschin, infiamed

queen and told her to fly for her life.
They both ran from the room, fol-

The king and queen ran through
the royal sleeping apartments, slam

they were overtaken.

courage fearlessly to the last. The
final scene was over In a moment.
Maj. Lazarovitch stepped up to his
majesty and discharged his revolver
full in his face. The king fell, but
raised himself again as If to speak. A
second shot was fired, and Alexander
fell back dead.
Drasa Is Shot and Stabbed.
Queen Draga was shot by SOL

neck with a bayonet as she fell over

Kings Body Buried Next Night.
The body of King Alexander was
buried at night in vault in the Kako-
vich convent with but the slightest re-
ligious service.
There were no attendants except a
few soldiers sent to do the physical
work of carrying the plainest of wood
en- collins into the stone vault.
The bodies of the other victims Of
the new regime were also placed in
wooden cotfins and buried in the city
churchyard of Belgrade.
The king died fighting for the wom-

trouble of his reign. The story of eye

and wiser one who knows his own
friends. At any rate. it is as important
ior the farmer to protect his friends
as it is to destroy his enemies, and the
following is a list OF the more common
insects which attack and eat the in
furious kinds and are thus Of benefit
Ground Beetles-Blackish or brown
ish beetles from two-thirds of an inch
to one inch in length; rapid runners,
found everywhere, under boards, logs
and such spots. All have strong jaws
well adapted to their predatory habits
These beetles are the terror of cut
worms and destroy many Goblin moth
larvae each season.
Tiger Beetles-These beetles are gen.
orally marked on the back with green
ish or purple spots. They have strong
jaws. long legs. and are about the size
OF the ground beetle, but not so com
mon.
Lady Beetles-Very few children
there are who do not know the lady
beetles or lady bug" and who have
not sung the familiar couplet, Lady
bug. lady bug fly away home, your
house is on fire. your children will
burn" These bugs are small and us
ually black, with two large red spots on
the back. but there are some kinds that
are brownish in color. The lady bug
does good work in the matter of de-
stroying and eating great number Of
plant lice.
Syrp;us Flies-These flies look very
much like bees or wasps. having yell

Lace Wing Fly-This bug is green
with gauzy wings and is about one-half
inch in length. This fly lays its eggs
on lace-like threads spread out over
fruit or leaves. and when the eggs
hatch the young fly begins at once to
feast on nearby woolly and green aphis
Ant Lion-Ths is an ant that bur-
rows in the ground, having funnel
shaped pit leading into it's home, and
into which many injurious insects fall
to certain death. This ant is about
one-fourth inch in length and is dark
brown in color. There are number
of parasites. many of them almost or
quite invisible to the naked eye. that do
greater amount of good work for the
farmer by destroying other parasites
that do harm. But the insects men,

Quence, the best known. and they
should be remembered and spared by
farmer and the Orchardist.

A MONGREL CROWD.

According to a French resident of
Boston who has taken great care in
tracing the descent of the royal houses
of Europe, the crowned heads are mon
grel monarchs and possess few claims
to race relationship with the people
whom they govern. For instance,
King Alfonso of Spain is four-hfths
Austrian, King Victor Emmanuel is
more Austrian than Italian, Emperor
Francis Joseph and his presumptive
heir are for a large part Bavarian and
Italian, the king of Sweden and Nor
way is of Bearnaise and French source
the king of Greece is a Dane, the king
of Servia is half Russian the prince of
Bulgaria has no Bulgarian blood in
him, the emperor of Russia is very
much Danish or German, the king of
the Belgians has no Belgian blood in
him, the king of England Is SaXe-Co-
burg Hanover Norman and French.

SIERRA MAY BE LATE.

Although the S. S. Sierra is due early
tomorrow morning from Sydney, Auck-
land, Page Page and Tanning Island,
it is very probable that she win be late
in arriving at this port. The gale that
prevailed last week is dead against her.
The China which is one of the best sea
boats on the Pacific was kept back a
day and a half by bad weather and it
is likely tht the Sierra will also be de-
layed in reaching this port. She win
be given as much dispatch as possible
after reaching Honolulu. A fair sized
crowd of passengers has booked at this
place for San Francisco.

HOW 10 STOP A COUCH.

\ simple but effective remedy is the
following:
hale a full breath as slowly as is pos
sible without causing fatigue. EXpel
the breath in the same manner and
repeat the operation ten times. This
will stop the coughing for about a
quarter of an hour. Take a dose of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy during
this lull and the medicine will have a
better opportunity to act and will
speedily effect a complete cure. 1t al
ways cures and cures quickly. All

siderable of this time. In such an
event, she should arrive off this port
late in the afternoon. She will prob

 The meeting was called to order at S:30 o'clock by President Alex Rice who a1- nounced that at the annual meeting re- ports of officers and committees were In order.
 The first report submitted was by MT. Rice, as President of the Association. In his report Mir. Rice briefly reviewed the work of the Association for the past year.
 When Mir. Rice concluded the reading of his report he was applauded.
 Secretary L. L. Gilbert, submitted his report upon his part of the work of the Association. The report of Mir. Gilbert went more into detail of the work of the Association than did the report of the President and 1t was given close atten- ton.
 Treasurer Emanuel Meertief was abssnt on account of illness. His report, how ever, was ready. It was read to the As- sociation by Secretary Gilbert.
 The report showed that the financial condition of the Association was altogeth- CT satisfactory, there being a good balance in the bank to its credit.
