Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season of the year
but this cannot be said of the rheu-
matte. The cold and damp weather
brings on rheumatic pains which are
anything but pleasant. They can be
relieved however, by applying Cham

ROYALTY LAY IN
UNMARKED TOMBS
Remains of Murdered King and Queen
of Serbia in Bare Graves in
Lonely Churchyard.

Belgrade, Jan. 12.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. THE last of
the house of Obrenovitch, the murder
ed Alexander, lies in little chapel in
the Belgrade cemetery, forgotten by
conquerors and conquered alike. Be-
side him rests Queen Draga, the wo-
man for whose sake he broke off re-
lations with his father and whose in
f1uence upon him undoubtedly led to
the sordid tragedy that extinguished
this royal line.
The chapel stands in the center of
neglected graveyard. 1t is a prim-
tive building, a larger sample of the
typical Serbian peasants cottage,
without ornamentation of any kind.
1t is of brick, rudely plastered on the
outside. Only a cross carved into a
tablet giving the date Of erection
shows that it is not an ordinary house
or even a substantial barn. Bullets
have bored neat holes through two of
the plain glass windows, and have
made blisters in half dozen places
on the plain sheet-iron doors. The

ing void the mandates of the senators
and councillors of state, dissolving the
skupshtina and setting aside various
laws, including the press law and the
election law.
Late in the night of June 10, 1903,
a band of conspirators, chiefly officials
and army officers, and including Co
lionel Maschin, brother of Draga's dead
husband, overpowered or shot down
the weak palace guard and forced their
way to the door of the royal apart
ment This door was blown down
with dynamite, and the king and queen
were shot and stabbed to death and
their bodies thrown out the window
into the small garden surrounding the
palace
Contemporary reports describe the
murder as taking place In the old
Konak. The correspondent was told
here in Belgrade, however, that the
tragedy occurred in a small garden
house which stood midway between
the old and new konaks. This muir
der house" as it was termed. is said
to have been torn down at the order
of King Peter, who did not care to
have perpetual reminder of the trag-
edy before his eyes.
The mutylated bodies of the murder
ed king and queen, it was reported at
the time, were thrown into rude wood
en- collins, carried to the chapel on
the handcart of a sewer cleaner and
buried unceremoniously few hours
after the murder.
Thus ended the rule and the line of
the Obrenovitchs, 80 years to day
after the greatest Of the line, Prince
Michael, had been murdered in the
Topcider park west Of the city. Prince
Alexander of the house Of Karageorge-
witch, father of the present King Pc
ter, was thrice tried in Hungary for
| participation in that murder, but af-
/, ter conviction in one court, was ac-
quilted by two others. The conspir-
acy of 1853 was planned to restore the
karageorgevitch dynasty, and the
murders of June 10, 1908, whether or
not they had that as their principal
| aim, resulted in its restoration; the
skupshtina called Peter to the throne
some weeks after the tragedy. King
Peter, who was at the time in Geneva
made formal statement denying any
completely in the plot or any guilty
foreknowledge of It, Nobody was pun
ished for the murder.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The last general assembly of the first
semester was held in the auditorium
of the high school yesterday afternoon
at 1870 and Principal A. J. Burton
made a few announcements about the
opening of the new term next Monday.
All high school students except the in
coming freshmen will report at 9
O'Clock Monday morning, he stated,
and after making out their class pro-
grams for the day classes will be call
ed and the entire program Of the day
will be run through, allowing to each
period 10 minutes. Thus the upper
classmen's program for the day will
have been run through by noon and
everything will be left clear for the
midyear freshmen, who will report in
the afternoon and likewise make out
their programs and run them through.
Monday will also witness the inaug-
uration of the new continuous pro,
gram system, under which plan the
program will consist of eight ADMIN

the whole mass forms practically one
gigantic building. At the end comes
a single-story building 272 feet by "a
feet, connected on the ground floor to
the main units by service building
so by As feet.
To protect this great plant the COM
pany has employed a small army of
guards with military organization.
They are honorably discharged SOL
diers or sailors of the regular army and
navy; there are 300 of them, divided
into three companies and Differed like
an army company, with a captain at
their head, and lieutenants, sergeants
and corporals under them.
Of the $4,000 men who will bring the
working force of the Remington COM
pany to it's full complement, there are
already 6,100 at work, and the employ
ment department is interviewing ap-
plicants at the rate of 500 day. This
department has building all to ITSELF
and conducts its work pretty much on
civil service examination principles.

The Inland Navigation company is
asking the Greater Moline commit

the Moline river front, doubtless with
a view to ascertaining the facts about
existing or possible steamboat land
ings and conveniences for the hand
ling Of freight. The committee at its
meeting at noon yesterday voted to
furnish the photographs.
The Greater Moline committee also
took up the matter of Moline's need Of
an auditorium to accommodate large
conventions, musical and other enter
tainments. The committee adopted a
resolution under which Chairman Alb
raham is authorized to appoint a
committee of three, Of which he shall
be chairman, to enlist in this enter
prise the public and such organiza-
tons as it may be possible to in
terest. This committee of three,
which Chairman Abraham will soon
name, is authorized to pledge the ac-

street fighting was a half mile away,
but the modern infantry rifle has
long range, and the chapel stands on
ground elevated somewhat above the
scene Of the street battles.
Few Hungarian soldiers are quar-
! tered in a building hundred yards
away from the chapel None of them
had any idea where the key to the
chapel was to be found The Asso-
ciated Press representative finally
crawled through a small hole in the
| wall, which appeared to have been
made by a shell which failed to ex-
| plode. Scattered bricks and mortar
lay on the floor inside
The scene was depressing. In the
middle Of the floor lay box contain
| ing books, dust-covered and in dis
array The high altar had been SHOW
ed back into small anteroom. The
sacred vestments, some of them torn
! and muddied, were strewn about the
| floor and on the altar A picture OF
! a saint, its protecting glass splintered,
| lay face down. A bullet had found
| its way into one Of the crude mural
paintings Mortar dust lay deep over
everything.
! The correspondent had been inform
ed that the murdered king and queen
were buried in this chapel, but there
was nothing in sight even remotely
resembling a royal tomb. Near one
corner was a plain lettered slab, flank
ed by two wooden crosses. In Cyril
liam letters on the slab were the names
of two of the older members of the
Obrenovitch family. Right and left
stood crude Roman cross of wood
| On the cross-bar of the cross at the
right was rudely lettered Alexander
Obrenovitch." The corresponding bar
on the cross at the left bore the name
"Draga Obrenovitch." There was not
another letter on either cross, no date
of birth nor death, no word to indicate
that the persons buried here had once
been king and queen Of the country
In the more than thirteen years that
have elapsed since the murder, the
crosses have not even been set up
right. They are simply stood against
the whitewashed wall. A nickeled
candlestick stands near the squalid
tomb; at the other side is tall, cyl
indrical sheet-iron stove, sole means
of heating the chapel. No guard-rail
separates the tomb from the place &C.
cupied by the worshippers.
The mean tomb in the little chapel
recalls the regicide that stirred all
the world-with the exception, accord
ing to the contemporary reports, of
Serbia itself-in June, 1903. Trouble
had been accommodating for years at
the Serbian court Alexander had
alienated his father Milan and offend
ed various European courts by marry
ing Draga Mascin, widow Of an engin-
eer and a former lady in waiting of
Queen Natalie. Nepotism and general
favoritism still further embittered the
old court party at Belgrade. Particu-
larly was there wide disaffection
among the army officers.
What gave greater impetus to the
growing conspiracy against King Alley

Advance Rumors of Deutsch-
lands Feat Given Publicity in
German-Ameriea Press

Advance rumors' of the feat of the
Deutschland were heard several days
ago in Honolulu but little attention
was paid to them. &tNow 1t comes out
that the German-American papers re.
ceived here, as we'll as several Amer.
ican dailies, have published a good
deal regarding the submarine voyage
to America.
The fact that the Deutschland was
to arrive on the Atlantic coast with
a cargo of dyestuffs and other prod
ucts had been known to certain per-
sons in the clothing trade for the last
two months, a Honolulu clothier told
the Star-Bulletin today.
"This information was given in con.
fidence to a part of the clothing trade
some time ago." the local clothier
says. CAS- a matter of fact, the
Deutschland was expected at Hamp-
ton Roads on July 4, and why the sub
nnersible was delayed l do not know.
The delay may have been caused by
bad weather or change in the date
of leaving, the European coast"
In the opinion of the local dealer,
the Deutschland's cargo of dyestuffs
will not only, benefit the clothing
trade, but II will also benefit the dry
goods trade in general, and the lat
ter doubtless will get the most bene-
fit.
The New York 5taats-Zeitung of
June IA published thes following:
"The New York employees of two
OF the large transatlantic lines have
bet $500 ON the arrival of the first
German submarine trader. One party
claims that this submarine steamer
will arrive in America on or before
July 5. The firm belief that this new
transatlantic submarine service be-
tween Germany and New York will
actually be opened is gaining more
and more ground here. One of the
