2:35 o'clock Friday morning, his aged
and wasted body being unable to stand
the strain put upon it. The collapse
occurred suddenly and at moment
when the doctors seemingly had had
the greatest hopes for his recovery.
Throughout the day before bulletins
issued from the sick room indicated
progressive improvement. The bulle.
tin posted at $3.50 p. m. gave the kings
temperature, pulse and respiration as
practically normal Apparently the
drainage of the wound was perfect, as
no fever was present and during the
day the king had been able to take
nourishment.
The public at large was satisfied
that the king was on the road to re.
covery, but within the pavilion where
the king lay there was a feeling of
anxiety, chiefly because of Leopold s
great age. After a restful day the pa.
tient was able to sleep for breif pc.
riod early in the evening, and the
night passed quietly. But toward
o'clock alarming symptoms appeared.
Suddenly the king turned and called
to DR.. Thiriar: "J'etouffe, docteur,
J'etouffe." Il am suffocating).
Prince Albert Arrives.
A page was summoned and the two
physicians did everything possible to
prolong life, but without avail. The

minutes later. He was accompanied
by Princess Clementine. Albert kissed
the dead king and left the chamber
weeping.
Baron Goffinet, the kings secretary,
started Immediately for Brussels to
notify the members of the royal fam.
lily. AS he was entering his motor car,
he exclaimed:
ITO think that only yesterday we
were still full of confidence and now
the king is dead"
The doctors were totally unprepared
for fatal termipation. 1t was a nun
acting as a nurse who first noticed
the heavy breathing of the king. She
called DR.. Thiriar to the bedside. Both
Doctors Thiriar and De Page resort
ed to injections of morphine, but these
had no effect.
Shortly after the end had come the
ministers were notified. The first Off
cial to arrive at the death chamber
was the royal chaplain. The ministers
remained in the chamber for a consid
cradle time, discussing in subdued
tones the sudden death and matters
of state.

BRYAN ON SALOONS.
Deals Hard Blow at personal Lib
erty'' Advocate.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov 2O.-In an article
which appeared in yesterdays COM
moner w. J. Bryan takes a strong posi-
ton in opposition to the saloon and the
liquor dealer and declares the term per
sonal liberty to be a misnomer. The
article is taken to forecast Mr.. Bryan's
coming declaration for county option.
The article says:
THE liquor dealers, recognizing that
their very obvious pecuniary interest
would lessen the weight of any argu-
ment which they might publicly ad-
vance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting to
represent those who use liquor. Many
well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt to
lessen the evils of intemperance is a
financial attack on personal liberty
1T is time the phrase personal lib
erty' were defined. What is meant by
personal iberty?'
Does it mean that person has a
right to drink in any quantity. any
time and any place, no matter what in
jury he may inf1ict r0on others? If
not, with whom rests the right to fix
limitations?
"A drunken man is menace to the
lives and property of those about him.
have his neighbors no right to protect
themselves?
"A drunkard robs his wife and chill
dren, and he may finally make his fam
lily and himself charge upon society.
Has society no right to protect itself?
THE saloon is next of kin to the
brothel and the gambling hall; it is a
rendezvous for the criminal element
and willing tool of corrupt politicians.
Has not the body polite a right to pro-
tect itself from the decentralization
which the saloon works?
The right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand the
establishment of a saloon. The right to
drink is sufficiently protected by any
arrangement that permits the reason
able use of liquor under reason
able conditions; and it must be remem-
bered that the right to drink, like any
other right, can be forfeited"
