His first wife bore him fifteen children,

DIES LIKE A COWARD
Ex-Czar Wits at Death; Propped
to Post.
coiIapses When He Faces the Firing
Squad-oerman Paper Gives Ae-
count o. 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 1t was
necessary to prop him against post,
says the Lokal Anzeiger Of Berlin,
which claims to have received from
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 a patrol Of a nom
commissioned officer and six men. He
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 sem
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 I'M
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 ichair, but
was not able. The priest and sol
der 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
post. He raised his hands and seemed
to be trying to speak, but the rifles
spoke and he fell dead.

BEE sTINGs KILL QUICKLY
Aged Man Succumbs In Ten Minutes
After Being Wounded In
Wrists.

Philadelphia.-Te minutes after he
had been stung on both wrists by bees,
Charge L. Hume, sixty-six years old, Z
resident of Santa Ana, CAL, died.
The bees stings acted as a violent
poison, physicians stated, probably
because OF Hume's unusual physical
condition. Hume was stung by the
bees when he attempted to destroy q
hive close to his home.
Physicians, when told OF the peculiar
case, stated that there was probable
ity that the poison injected by the
bees struck an artery and was imme-
diately conveyed to the heart, causing
death. 1t was also said that the bees
stings may have acted as violent poi
son because Of an unusual physical con-
dition.
The physicians said that so sudden
a death from bees stings was very
unusual.

Although registration for the primary
election on September 3 closes next
Saturday evening, August 81, it is
thought that less than 90 per cent of
the voters of Latah county have reg
istered. People do not seem to realize
the Importance of the primary election
or that they cannot vote if they are not
registered. The law provides positively
that no matter how long you have lived

SALVVT|ON ARMY
DRIVE IS OPENED
METHODIST CHURCH WAS SCENE
OF INTERESTING MEETING
SUNDAY EVENING

The drive for raising $500 for the
Salvation Army war service fund was
Officially opened last evening at the
Methodist church in one Of the best at
tended and most notable gatherings ever
held in the city. H. E. Mansfield OF
Chicago now state manager of the drive
was the principal speaker of the evening
and held his audience thrilled for nearly
an hour as, under the title, Gas Masks
and Bingham Aprons" he told the won
derfu1 story Of the work of the Saliva
ton Army in France.
Mr.. Mansfield described the careful
and extensive preparation of every Sal
walton Army worker permitted in
France. There are at least three years
of hard social service work in the slums
of great city in advance of an assign
ment to the battle fields; the Salvation
Army girls are the only body of women
in the world today trained and equipped
to deal with the hardships and vicissi-
tudes of the life at the front.
Mr.. Mansfield also showed how the
salary of a dollar day, which is the
highest paid by the Salvation Army to
any officer, permits that organization to
place four workers in the field for the
comfort of the boys over there to every
one that can be placed by any other well
fare organization.
A telegram from Raymond Fosdick
of the Fosdick commission, sent to
France to survey welfare work was
chartered. The telegram stated that to
the intense surprise of the commission
and Of Mr.. Fosdick himself, they found
the Salvation Army the most popular
organization III France today and dong
the most effective work.
The story of the origin of the Saliva
ton Army doughnut was graphically
and amusingly told, and the delight OF
the soldiers in the pies, cakes, coffee,
and chocolate all of which are given
without any cost to the boys made
bright spot in the picture of the battle
fields.
Adiutant Barnes of Boise, who has
become very much beloved there through
his fine work among the poor and un-
fortunate, sang a beautiful hymn, ac-
companying himself on the concertlna,
with Mr.. Mansfield at the piano.
The adjuant's son, young man who
will attend the university next fall, rem
dered fine trombone solo, Mr.. Mans
field playing an exquisite accompaniment
on the piano.
Interest in the Salvation Army drive
which began officially this morning was
greatly quickened by the splendid expo
sition of the needs of the Salvation
Army, and contributions flowed IN at
the Moscow State bank today.
It is now time to pay all assessments
for which notices were recently sent out
These donations may be paid to Mrs
T r. Stewart at the Moscow State bank
or thew may be mailed to her in a check
The committee is anxious to conclude
the drive in Moscow by Wednesday, and
hopes that it will be convenient for those
who are going to give to do SO at the
DOssible moment.
