The market for coffee futures opened
steady at decline of points under liquida-
tion following lower European cables and
continued full primary receipts. Transac-
tons after the call were largely in the ma
ture OF switches from the near 10 the late
positions, with the same interests appar-
entry willing TO take all the near months,
oHerlng against sales of the late positions
at existing differences. This led TO an al
vance OF points on two or three or the
nearby months. but the narrowing OF
the premiums checked the demand from
spot interests and the market later lost
the partial recovery and closed points
lower on all months. except February,
whlch was net 10 points lower. Sales were
reported OF 10.750 bags including May at

or boiling caldron of political scan
dial. He becomes more and more con.
yinced daily that he made a mistake
when he gave up the life of private
gentleman for that of monarch of such
state as Servia where he enjoys
few of the privileges and dignities OF
kingship, where he reigns without
governing and where his life is so I'M
safe that the insurance companies ask
an absolute prohibitlve premium for
a policy upon 1t.
He is Systematically snubbed by
most of the other rulers of Europe
and by none so markedly as by Great
Britain, which has absolutely refused
to have any diplomatic relations with
Servia since the brutal tragedies.
The other day King Peter sent con-
CALCULATIONS on King Edwards birth.

Belgrade. who declined to receive
them.
He receives by every post a variety
OF disturbing predictions as to what il
likely to happen to him, and therefore
deems 1t wisest to have a fire escape
attached to his bedroom window, and
several guards, who, however, he can
not trust about his person.
Personally, King Peter is an admir-.
able man and has all the qualities OF
good king, But his people are tur-
bulent and hard to govern.
He is now So years old and is fine
soldier having received his education
at the French military school of st.
Cyr. He served In the Franco-Prussian
war with the French Foreign Legion,
which was noted In that struggle for
Its hard fighting and daredevil tao
ties He married Montenegrin prin-
cess, now dead and has three children,
George and Alexander, aged 16 and
10 respectively, and Helene, aged 49,
who is one of the most beautiful girls
In all Europe. The boys are studying
at q Russian military school and are
great favofites with the Gear.

LOCATING A Boom TOWN.
Early Days In Guthrie Were Exciting
to an Eminent Degree.

TO an Eminent Degree.
A. IL. Huston, who has practiced
law at Guthrie since the opening Of
the territory, in recalling incidents OF
early days tells this story OF how
Guthrie was first settled;
II made a heroic effort to be the
first man on the ground that day, but,
