Hog Law Wins.

The vote on the hog law is a
surprise to many. We have been
unable to get the exact majority
in the county in favor of persons
not allowing hogs to run at large
on the streets and public roads
of Powell county. This is a law
and will take effect in about six
ty days. Most people are very
jubilant over the passage of such
a law while some are very badly
dissatisfied with the result of
the vote.

 "The funeral of former President Cleveland will be held on Friday. June 26, at 'westland.' Mir. Cleveiand's resi- dence on Bayard Lane, Princeton, and will be strictly private"
 It was announced tonight that the hour for the funeral Friday had been fixed at p, m. None of the other fu- neral arrangements has been definitely decided upon and probably will not be made public until tomorrow.
 Only two of the Cleveland children who are at Tamworth. N H.. Esther and Richard IL, will attend the tuner al. They are expected tomorrow and will come here with Mrs. John F. Findley, wife of President Esfndley of New York University
 Princeton, N. T.. June 3a-vGroyeR Cleveland, twice rFssident of the United States. died at $40 o'clock this morning at his home. ~Westiand," in this quiet college town where he had lived since his retirement as the na- tion's chief executive, about twelve years ago.
 When death came, which was sudden. there were in the death chamber on the second floor of the Cleveland res idence, Mrs. Cleveland. Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York. Mir. Cleveland's family physician and personal friend: Dr. George R. Lockwood. also of New York. and Dr. John M. Carnochan of Princeton.
 An official statement given out and signed by the three physicians, gave heart trouble, superinduced- by stofn- ach and kidney ailments of long stand ing as the cause of death.
 s While Mfr. Cleveland has been in poor health for the last two years and had lost a hundred pounds in weight, his death came unexpectedly. Some three weeks ago he was brought home from Lakewood. where his condition for time was such that the hotel at which he was staying was kept open after It's regular season because he was too i'll to be moved. But when Mir. Cleveland was brought back to Prince. ton he showed signs of improvement weight. Although confined to his room continuously after his return to Prince ton, 1t was not until yesterday that MT. Cleveland's condition aroused un- easiness on the part of Mrs. Cleveland. Undoubtedly affected by the heat, Mfr. Cleveland showed signs of failure and Mrs. Cleveland telephoned to pr. Bry- ant, who came over from New York on the train arriving here at 4:24 ?. m. pr. Lockwood followed pr. Bryant from New York and when they reach ed here, Dr. Carnochan, who had been Mr. Cleveland's local physician since the former President came to Prince: ton. was called in.

Cleveland had suffered and she informed those who inquired that MT. Cleveland's condition was not serl- ous. MT. Cleveland became worse dur inR the night and Mrs Cieveland was .caIlAd to the bedside of her husband. srhe dtstIn9ulshed patient sank into un- eonSciousnesS from which he recovered at tiTnes only to suffer a relapse, This continued throughout the night ana .ss rlv morning. The last time he be- came unconscious was about two hours hefora he died. Death was peaceful. Inst before he died MT CleVeiano sought to say something but his "ords were inaudible.
 TING tnxt of the official statement given out a short time atter MT CieVe- lands death was as foliows'

 The news of Cleveland's death came as a sudden shock to the people Of Princeton as it did to the people of the rest of the world.

Press Believes Persia VIII Surely Be
 Republic.
 St. Petersburg, June 24-The foreign office here this morning received dis patches sent from Teheran at nightfal1 yesterday stating that the fighting around the national assembly building had ceased, that the town was quiet and confirming generally the news al- ready received here by way of Lon- don and Berlin.
 The dispatches contained no addi- tional details, and the number of dead and wounded was not given, the writer adding that 1t was difficult to even ap- proximate the casualties.
 The liberal press of St. Petersburg, which throughout the Persian trou- bles. has sympathized with the Persian Parliament regards the attack on the Cossacks as the initiation of pure coup d-etat, and 1t is convinced that 1t will be followed by the dissolution of the national assembly and by the revo- cation sf the constitution.
 The Slovi declares that a civil war accompanied by all its horrors, has be- gun in Persia. The Shah for the moment. the paper says has been suc- cessfuk but the final outcome is doubt ful, as the Shah's handful of troops may be defeated when the armed forces of the revolutionists arrive from the north. The Stovou says there is no reason for international intervention in Persia as long as the lives of foreigners are safe. and it warns the government of the danger of any dealings whatever, with the reactionary circles in Teheran, which might alienate the sympathy of the masses of the people and destroy Russian prestige in Persia. The Bourse Gazette says the fight in Teheran yes terday was the beginning of the end The Shah has burned his bridges and definitely cast in his lot with the reA actionaries. The sword must now de- eide whether the idea of popular repre- sentation is firmly rooted in Persia or not

Political Clubs Took Active Part In
 stOrmIng Parliament.
 Teheran, June 24-It has been gem orally confirmed that the first shot in yesterdays fighting in this city was fired by members of the AnJumans, or political clubs.
 Soldiers early in the morning had surrounded the Parliament house and demanded that a number of persons whose arrest the Shah had ordered, be handed over to them forthwith. This was refused, and shots were fired at the troops.
 Artillery was then brought up and bombarded the Parliament buildings, the halls of which were eventually cleared. The firing between the Anju- mans and the Cossacks was kept up until endorsements of troops arrived. whereupon the Nationalists fled. The latter had occupied sheltered positions on the roofs of the buildings, and al- though nothing certain as to their loss, it must have been small. Bombs
