DIES like A COWARD
Ex-Czar Wits at Death; Propped
to Post.
CoIIapses When He Faces the Firing
Squad-German Paper Gives Ae-
count Of Execution.

Amsterdam.-With two hours given
in which to prepare for the end, Nicho-
las Romanoff, former Russian emperor
was taken out by his executioners in
a state Of such collapse that it was
necessary to prop him against post
says the LOkal Anzeiger Of Berlin
which claims to have received from O
high Russian parsonage an account OF
the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at five
o'clock on the morning Of the day of
his execution by patrol Of a non
commissioned officer and six men. He
was told to dress and was then taken
to a room where the decision of the
soviet council was communicated to
him. he was informed the execution
would be carried out in two hours.
The former emperor, 1t is added, re-
ceived the announcement of the SEN
tence Of death with great calmness, but
when he returned to his bedroom he
collapsed in a chair. After few min
utes he asked for a priest, with
whom he was allowed to remain un-
attended. Subsequently he wrote sew
eral letters.
When the escort arrived to take him
to the place of execution Nicholas at
tempted to rise from his chair, but
was not able. The priest and sol
dier were obliged to help him get to
his feet. The condemned man de-
scended the stairs with difficulty and
once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place Of execution
was reached, he was propped against a
post. He raised his hands and seemed
to be trying to speak, but the rifles
SpOke and he fell dead,

tried to make a getaway with machines

matter and succeeded in waking the
men folks of the quiet neighborhood,
who put on their war paint and made it
so warm for the thieves that the ma.
chimes were abandoned before they could
get out of town with them. The thieves
however made their escape, Guiding the

SMALL VOTE AT
PRIMARY ELECTION

The quietest primary contest fol-
county Offices ever held in Mercer coun
ty was staged last Tuesday, and the
smallest vote ever cast by Democrats
was the result. There were contests fol
only two offices-Clerk of Courts and
Sheriff. The fight for the former office
was very close, SCHNEIDER winning over
flinders by 8 votes. Betz won over
Fischer for Sheriff, who run second in
the race, by nearly 400 votes.
The other candidates had no opposi-
ton, all being up for denomination.
The Republican politicians pulled a
new one off on their voters by fixing up
a slate after having the name of only
one candidate e. J. Brookhart fer Rep
resentative-appearing on the ballot,
using their election officials evidently to
put it across.
1t is evident they are going to play for
the pro. German vote that shows visible
signs of leaving the Democratic wig
wan. The vote for McBeth as against
Welty for Congress and the slump in the
vote for Governor Cox in the German
sections is not an accident. When the
wettest spot in the county votes for an
nounced dry candidate the niger in the
woodpile is visible. To man up tree
the situation is interesting. Both parties
in the county are likely to wake up next
election morn with strange bedfellows.
The Democratic nominees are
Representative-Fred Huber.
q Clerk of Courts-Herbert SCHNEIDER.
Sheriff-George Betz.
Auditor-E. G. Ungerer.
Treasurer-Perry Baker.
Recorder-Albert Wolf.
Prosecutor-C. A. Stubbs.

Copyright. 1915; oil rfoh" reserved
1oypoS. Aug. 2o.--A despatch from
Thu Hague clearly indicates 0ermany's
,r,en,ion to absorb under thinly
.,,.sred treaties all the border states
q, Russia, and to set UP Its own crea-
lures as kings.
The suggestion concerning the Polish
army is sinister, as corroboratlng the
claw that Germany intends to replenish
her depleted reserves with levies en-
forced in these states during the winter.
uence the desire for prompt decisions
hv the Allies concerning these measures.
zimmerman's idea Of bringing the whole
Of the Baltic region under a Personal
Union Of the Kingdom Of Prussia"
sneaks for itself The despatch follows:
"A telegram from Berlin says the
probability that after the headquarters
discussion measures will be taken con-
corning the future relations of the Rus
sian border states Is strengthened by the
presence Of numerous representatives or
these states in Berlin. Besides represen-
tatiNeS from fpld1u ailu thC ia
the Ukraine there Is the Minister Of
Finance from the Crimean republic.
Various papers report that Livonia
and Esthonia will remain separated
from Russia indefinitely, and with Cour-
land be united into a duchy. So far
AS Lithuania is concerned Duke Crach's
oandidature again is most prominently
mentioned On the Austrian side there
is disposition to consider the Kholm
problem from a Polish point of view.
Vienna papers say a definite solution
Of the Polish problem has not yet been
reached A Cracow report says the Pol
ish regency and council received tele-
gram from the director of the Polish
State Department intimating that con-
ferences on the Polish problem at head
quarters had progressed favorably on all
points except the identity of the per-
son who should ascend the throne.
The telegram said Germany had &C.
copied all the Polish demands; that
tire country's western boundary should
remain as before. and that the Polish
army should be recruited to protect the
frontier. aE
The Zimmerman article explains
that since Poland's liberation was
brought about by a monarchical form
Of government, namely, Germany. the
country would in all probability desire
that form of government for itself"
