Sarajevo, Bosnia, Jnue 29-Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro Hungarian throne, and his moTganatic wife, the Duchess of fiohelberg, were assassinated yester day while driving through the streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnain capital.

 "The duchess of Hohenberg co.laps- ed against her husband and Field Marsh Oskar Potlorek thought she had merely feinted from the shock. He was strengthened in the belief Dy the fact that the archduke and dueh. ess exchanged a few words in a low voice.
 ''It was not until the field marshal turned around after giving instrue. ticns to the chauffeur to proceed to the governors palace that he noted the archduke while still sitting quiet. iy upright, had his open mouth full of blood
 When the car stopped in front of the paiace the duchess was uncou scious. After she had beeNlifted from the car the archduke collapsed ln the seat.
 "The Archduke died about quar- ter of an hour afterward and few minutes later the duchess expired without either of them regaining con sciousness

Mrs. John F. Shafroth, wife of the Colorado senator and former governor of that state, is one of the devoted wives of congressman who braved the hot summer days to remain in Wash ington by their husbands sides until congress finally adjourns. Every year during the extra session, which seems to have become regular thing, the majority of congressional women leave the capital for cooler places, but there are always a few who believe that if their husbands have to endure 1t they must too, and Mrs. Shafroth is one of these.

HIT news SERVICE
War Tax Is Hard ON Railway
Dealers in Kansas.
No More Penny Gum Slots and
Show Cases Now.

The war tax Of congress is hitting the
railway news services and the tobacco
dealers hard. It also has an effect on
the sale of gum.
Effective December l, chewing gum
all over the country was sold like ci-
gars- Gum comes to the dealer in
boxes OF twenty as rule and a federal
stamp costing four cents is placed on
each box. The penny slot and the gum
show cases Will have to be dispensed
with. When Topekan wants a pack
age of gum. the clerk takes out the en-
tire box and the patron himself takes
out a package from the box.
According to Manager Huntington OF
the Grier news stand at Topeka, each
news butcher" selling tobacco on
trains must pay tax of $3.50 a year to
the government. This is no less than a
drug store or a cigar store has to pay
in one year. Every news stand in
depots. hotels, public buildings, ele-
vators and elsewhere must pay the
$3.50 tax to the government if they
sell tobacco. c. G. Burton of Kansas
City, Mo-, collector of internal revenue,
is in charge of the taxation in this part
of the country.
The consumer, however does not pay
this tax. There will be no raise in the
price of cigars. perfumes or chewing
gum. The manufacturer and the dealer
is to foot the bill.
Soon every store in the country SELL
ing gum will probably discard the
chewing gum show case. A stamp will
be on every box of gum as on every box
of cigars.

Dun Says Trend Is Now Toward Better
Business Conditions.

New York, Dec. 12.-Dun's review
says:
That there is improvement in trade
is made clear in the reports from all
parts of the country. though the devel-
Opment is slow and irregular, and the
gains already attained inspire conf
dence in further expansion with the
advent of the new year.
The prevailing optimism is strength
ened by easier money, and the nota-
BILE Improvement in the financial pO-
sition; also by the fact that while the
present volume of business is much
less than last year, the corner has been
turned and the trend is now toward
better conditions"

of Westminster that all its expenses and
benevolences should be met by voluntary
offerings and this has been their practice
since its beginning. No socials, fairs or
pay entertainments have ever been had
in the church for raising money.
They also have rule that no officer of
the church can be reelected to the same
office until after he has been out at least
does not apply to the Sunday school and
other organizations of the church.
During the Passionate OF the Rev. Ralph
Ward, the people have erected a Manse
and enlarged and remodeled the mousse of
worship.
