perate Drinker of Whiskey.

Kansas achieves new notOriety be-
cause one of its citizens is Robert
Morris, a frisky young fellow who
claims to be 120 years old. That is
remarkable, of course, but what is
to be thought of him since he says
that for 100 of those years he has
been temperate drinker of whisky?
If he dies within the next decade
somebody is likely to say that if he
had been a total abstainer he would
have lived to be $50. And somebody
else is likely to say that if he had
begun drinking when he was II in
stead of when he was 20 he could
look forward to celebrating the cen
tennial of the firing on Fort Sum-

who has lived in three centuries is

LADS WRESTLE With MONSTER FISH
Wisconsin Story of Match Between
BOYS and Bib MuskallOnge.

RHINELANDER VISA fish sto-
by vouched for by reputable eyewit-
nesses comes from Miocqua, where
a wrestling match took place between
two small boys and a 39-pound musk
allonge.
The boys we're fishing for bass
from a dock on the lake front. Sud-
denly a black fin cut the water and
an instant later a monster fish jump
ed clear of the lake and landed at
the feet of the boys.
The urchins were stunned for a
second, but quickly fell on the fish
and succeeded in killing it. The fish
was one of the incest specimens OF
the musky tribe ever taken from the
lake. The recent heavy rains and
the resultant high. water are held
responsible for the hitherto unheard
of occurrence.

CENTURIES OF HATE BEHIND CONFLICT

her action in depriving the nation OF
an outlet to the sea. These wars
left Austria-Hungary with increased
dlfhculties in dealing with the Slay
tribes, particularly the Servians, now
In her dominions, and convinced that
the march to the southwark must be
given up altogether unless Servia
could be put out of the way.
To this were added minor irrita-
lions, such as the railroad question
in Macedonia. The Servians wanted
to add the railroads in the territory
conquered from Turkey to the state
system, but the stockholders, most
OF whom were Austrians or Hunga-
rians, objected. Moreover, there was
constant friction in Bosnia, and the
party in Servia, which regretted the
breakup of the Balkan League, was
inclined to attribute the discord be-
tween Bulgaria and her former allies
to the operations of Austrian diplo-
macy.
Thirty years ago Servia was a cats
paw for Austria in Balkan schemes,
with Russia backing Bulgaria, but
now the Servians can count on Rus
sian sympathy, for their cause is in
directly the cause of the entire Slavic
race in its double struggle to be free
from German rule, and to fight with
the Germans for the heritage of Con-
stantinople.
Peter Made King By Tragedy.
King Peter, under whose rule Ser
via has advanced to a strong position
in Southeastern Europe came to the
throne as the result of crime that
shocked the world.
Eleven years ago King Alexander
of Servia and Queen Draga were as
sassinated in their palace at Bel
grade. Half an hour after midnight
on June 10, 1903, forty army officers
entered the palace, burst into the
apartment of the king and queen and
killed them. Details of the tragedy
vary, but the best authenticated is
that the couple died in each others
arms. The same night several min
listers We're slain by the plotters. The
total number of victims Of the con-
spiracy is said to have been fifty
four.
At the time of the tragedy King
Peter was in Geneva, living a seclud-
ed life, and, apparently, taking little
interest in the politics of his native
land. Ever since the terrible night
of the assassination he has denied
that he had any foreknowledge OF
the affair. Nevertheless suspicion
has continued, justly or unjustly, to
rest upon him, and it was some years
after his accession to the throne be-
fore Great Britain and other powers
recognized him formally as king OF
Servia.
King Peter as young man led an
adventurous life. He studied in
Switzerland and then went to the
French Military Academy at the st.
Cyr. He took part in the Franco
German war as an officer of the for
eign legion.
For many years he is said to have
engaged in conspiracies against King
Milan of Servia, but for forty-tive
years he never set foot on Servian
soil until he was elected king by the
Servian parliament.

WAR DENORALIZES The MARKETS

Decline in All Securities.
Expectation of war between Aus
tria-Hungary and Servia and its sub
sequent declaration Tuesday demon.
allied the markets of the world.
War was not declared until after
the bourses of Europe had closed, but
in London, Berlin and Paris panicky
conditions and severe declines in Sc
curities anticipated the announce
ment. At all three capitals bonds
of European governments, which
have been dropping steadily, regis
tered further losses.
Run On Austrian Savings Bank.
In Vienna the bourse had been
closed since Saturday, but there was
a heavy run on the Austria Savings
Bank, the most important in the
Dual Monarchy.
In Paris the Commercial Exchange
suspended all dealings in grains, SUI
gar and other commodities and ex-
change on London and private dis
count for the first time in years were
not quoted.
In Berlin runs on savings banks
grew heavier.
In London after the close of the
stock markets stocks tumbleG on the
curb
News of the declaration of war
reached this country while markets
were in session. With it came an
avalanche of foreign selling on the
New York Stock Exchange. Leading
securities slumped from to 20
points and conditions paralleled in
their intensity the domestic panic of
1907.
Stock exchanges of Montreal and
Toronto suspended their sessions.
On the Chicago Board of Trade
there was a tremendous rise in
wheat and the widest trading in
many years on the expectation that
war in Europe would create a de-
mand for American grain. Other
foodstuffs also advanced. These con-
lditions were reflected in all produce
markets of the country.
Drop in Cotton Futures.
On the other hand, smart declines
were recorded in cotton futures at
New York and New Orleans, Coffee
also slumped, owing, it was reported,
to fears that contemplated financing
in Europe of the Brazilian crop
would fai'.
Tuesday morning the New York
cotton exchange closed until Tuesday
after being open only one hour. Dur
ing this time October cotton fell to
below 10 cents.
Foreign exchange was demoralized
and millions in gold were engaged at
