conspiracy which subsequent events
show had the sympathy of the majority
of the Servian people, is carried OUT
and King Alexander, Queen Draga,
her two brothers and several ministers

Prince Peter Kara George witch, pre-
tender to the throne, has been pro-
claimed king by the army, instigated
by men OF high rank, and there is
every reason to believe that this de-
cison will be confirmed by the Servian
parliament, which has been summoned
to meet on June Is.
The revolution was eXccnted with
out any opposition on the part of the
people of Belgrade and the country
remains quiet.
II is exactly 35 years ago since King
Alexander's grand-uncle, King Michael,
was stoned to death. Dissatisfaction
against King AleXander's rule has oecn
great since his suspension of the con-
stitution last April and it is from that
time that the military plot dated. The

considered that popular hatred of
Queen Draga was largely responsible
for the events at Belgrade. He added
that his cousin, the new king, had long
aspired to the Scrvian throne and de-
clared that the family was closrIr

Russian policy in Servia.

ton described the new king as II stu

intensely animated by Servia's political
destinies, and as an Gdmirer of Russia.

witch added, is sending his son to ST.

at the expense of the imperial court OF
Russia.

CARELESSNESS OR FRAUD.
State Printer constitutional Amendment
Not In Statutes.

Topeka, June 1j.-Kennedy's concur
rent resolution providing for the SUB
mission of an amendment to the con
stitution to permit the election of II
state printer by vote of the people, is
not in the new statute book. The reso-
luton originated in the senate where
it received the necessary two-thirds
majority. 1t was approved by the
house and messaged back. There, like
the trail of train robber, all trace OF
it was lost.
Hill p. Wilson, assistant secretary OF
state says the resolution never reached
the secretary of states office and the
statutes of 1903 went to press without
it. Every body had forgotten about
Kennedy's resolution, and notuntil the
statutes were delivered was its absence
discovered.
1t was the opinion about the state
house that the failure TO print the
resolution in the statute book would
not invalidate the amendment. The
statutes provide only that amendments
to the constitution shall be printed IN
one paper in each county for three
months previous to the time in which
they are voted upon by the people.
But, if the amendment is lost and
cannot be found, it will be invalidated
for the reason that there is no official
record of it and it cannot be published
us required in the county papers.
Campbell's concurrent resolution
giving the state, in certain criminal
cases, IL chance to take II change Of
venue to some county other than thai
in which the crime was committed, IS

BA|LEYS BRIDE.
The Couple Become Acquainted At
Seneca, Near BaiIeyviIIe,
HAD A BUSINESS TRAINING,

Kansas City, June II. - Governor
Willis j. Bailey, of Kansas, and Mrs.
Ida B. Weede were married on Tues
day evening in the First Congrega-
tional church of Kansas City, Mo.
Mrs Wcedes maiden name was Ida
Albert, and she is Il Kansas product
by education, although not by birth.
She was educated at Il school in Atch-
ison known as Monroe Institute, con-
Quoted by Mrs. Harriette Monroe. AT
that time her home was at Riverton.
Neb. Mrs. Monroe's school was aban-
doncd about eighteen years ago, but 1t
has large alumnae, who will remem-
Der it with affection.
Soon after her graduation Miss ALI
bert married Mr.. Weedc and they went
to live at Yuma, Colo, where Mr..
Weede had large land interests and
became town boomer. He made
money, but when the boom collapsed
he was loaded up with deprecated

his wife then moved to Fairbury, Neb. f,
and Mr.. Weede became n conductor on
the Rock Island railroad. About FIVE
years ago Mr.. Weedc, while in the act
of giving II train signal at Fairbury,
dropped dead of heart disease.
The death OF her husband left Mrs
Weede without means of II living and
two children to support Undaunted
she took her two boys to Seneca, Kas. &,
where she had relatives and esta blished
a millinery store. Here she became
acquainted with Mr.. Bailey.
A year or more ago Mrs Weede
moved to Kansas City and Mr.. Bailey
at once discovered something lacking
in his life. 1t was Mrs. Wecdc and he
began to visit her here. Last fall be-
fore the November election Mrs. Weede
was considering two offers out of town
to take charge of the millinery de-
partment of Il large store.
When Mr.. Bailey discovered this he
made a proposal of marriage. She ac-
cepted and the marriage was the eli
max of the little romance.

Kansas City Asks for Relief.

Corporation Counsel Walker, in the
absence of Mayor Harrison of Chicago,
issued an appeal for relief for the
Kansas City sufferers. Funds will be
received by Controller McGann and
forwarded to Gov Bailey at Topeka,
to be used as he may deem advisable.
Gov. Bailey issued a proclamation a
few days ago setting forth the condt
tions now prevailing in the Kansas
valley. In the proclamation he made
no direct appeal for assistance, but
said that aid would be thankfully re-
ceived. Subsequently the conditions
in Kansas City, Kas.. evidently be-
came more distressing, with the result
that Mayor w. Fl. Craddock and 9TH
ers sent direct appeal TO Mayor Har-
rison for relief. The appeal says that
over 80 per cent of the population OF
$4,000 are dependent on charity.
I'VE have fed and sheltered over
90 900 for the last week. and received
only $4,000 to date" he letter says.
Great suffering is imminent unless
large aid is received. Our community
is unable to cope with conditions"

who have an intimate knowledge Of

making estimates, and the conclusions
that they have reached may be con-

with debris of every description anG
the swollen streams are subsiding in
the Piedmont region, the losses OF life
and property are increasing and a
conservative estimate places the prop
erty loss at not less than $3,5OO,OO0.
The most conservative estimate of the
dead is eighty. At Clifton alone 100
operatives are missing from the vii
lage, and all are believed to have been
lost.
At Converse thirteen dead are re-
ported and forty-one at Clifton num-
ber two. At Clifton number two
twenty-six homes are destroyed, thir-
teen at Clifton number one, and twen'
ty at Clifton number three.
The loss at Clifton's three mills
will approximate $2,O00,000. AT Paco-
let the loss is near s1,000,000.
The greatest want among the sur
vivors is at Clifton, where 500 are
destitute.
The latest reports from Spartanburg,
S. c., are that approximately fifty-flve
persons were drowned in the floods at
