ASSASSINATION In SERvIA.

A very shocking and terrible crime
was committed in Servia on the It'll
of this month, in the assassination OF
the King Alexander and Queen Draga
OF that country, as we'll as several high
officials and others of less prominence
The ferocity of the assasslns twas
something appalling, they shot their
victims many times, then stabbed
them, and with f1endishness which
seems almost incredible threw their
bodies from window into the court
yard OF the palace, and there they lay
for hours to be Knocked and spat upon
by an unfriendly and Infatuated mob.
Servia Is small kingdom in the Bal
Kan peninsula in the southeastern part
of Europe, and has a population of a
little over 100000, fewer than in
New York city, but it has been en-
gagged in many wars, and subject to
many vicissitudes. Some time ago its
king Alexander married woman who
is said to have been of bad character,
and the making of her ueen is in part,
If not in whole, the offense which led
to his assassination. though other rea-
SONS are given.
1t is not of the causes which led I'D
to this great crime, but the crime
itself, of which We would speak. The
people OF Servia are Slavs, a race in
Europe always known for their blood
thirstlness. They are of the same
stock as those who very recently massa-
cred 80 many Jews at Kishanef in Rus
STA. They seem capable of any crime,
as these two have demonstrated, and
while in days past they were excused
on account of Ignorance, they cannot
now escape thus. because the civilized
world will not accept it. This crime
is beyond description, it rivals any,
thing Europe has given us in a long
time. 1t carries no anarchist insignia.
and arose from no secret order TIL
was a conspiracy such as ended the life
OF Cesar, deep dark plot, Matched by
those out of power against those in
power to seize a crown which thew
could not wear save by striking down
him who stood in the way.
1t was not plot against all rulers
which was being carried out by means
OF dagger in the hand of a misguided
II not maniacal person called an as
sassin, but nation, or large part of
q nation, which became assassins and
weltered in this human gore, and this ia
what has so shocked humanity. Just ,
when the softening influences of the

three days in the week and mechanical
drawing the remaining two, alternating the

PERJURY IN DIVORCE CASE
Judge Day Stops the Trial 10 Gall in the
County Attorney.
SAYS SOME OF THE WITNESSES LIED
Testimony is SO Directly Contradic-
tory, observes the Court, that All
of the witnesses Gould
Not he Truthful.

Judge Day has decided that somebody has
lied under oath in the wemmer divorce suit
and stated yesterday from the bench that
he proposes to call the county attorney into
the case and ascertain II there cannot be q
thorough investigation and then prosecu-
tion by the state for perjury
Fernando Wemmer asked divorce from
Jane, alleging that she deserted him In jan
uary 1899. She in turn filed an answer and
cross bill alleging that he drove her from
his home by his cruel demeanor and asking
that she be granted the divorce and also
alimony.
In the course Of the proceedings yesterday
morning two OF the witnesses testified TO
certain immoral conduct on the part Of one
Of the parties, and another witness spe-
oihcally denied that there had been such
conduct and asserted, on the stand that the
other witnesses had been paid to testify as
they did. The Judge stopped the proceed
ings and said
II hardly know what the court can do
with such a case as this when there is such
total contradiction OF important testimony.
1t seems to me that there must be perjury
here, and I believe | had best call in the
county attorney and see what can be done
about IL. For the present we will proceed
no further with the hearing"
One Of the attorneys admitted to the
Judge that "some OF the witnesses must
have lied deliberately and purposely." and
expressed a perfect willingness to have the
matter probed.
There are more than dozen parties in
terested in the case. and among the wit
nesses is Agnes Stevenson. who failed to
come in answer to her subpoena and had TO
be sent for with an attachment for con-
tempt.

A serious Mistake.

To the average man It seems childish TO
doctor a cold, and unless It becomes par
ticularly annoying TO him little or no atten-
tion is given IL. Often a cold contracted in
the winter is allowed to run until the open
ing of spring This is a grave mistake, as
even though the warm weather may bring
relief. the system is thereby weakened and
rendered susceptible to disease. A cold
should never be neglected, whether It be a
child or an adult who is afiIcted, as health
and often life is risked. A bottle OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, costing but a small
amount, will bring speedy relief and all
dangerous consequences will be avoided.
