fully to those twlow that they had suc
ceeded In killing King Alexander and Qween
Drags.
At th name mutant that Jhe attack waa
made upon the royal palace the other vic
tim were assassinated In their homes.
There were no fewer than 150 officer In the
plot, more than enough for the murders.
In addition the whole of the Sixth Infantry
was detailed to act as a guard against In
terruption. When It waa alt over offlcera rode through
the Streets proclaiming that the king and
queen had been killed, but few of the peo
ple were about and few knew anything of
the tragedy, till thin morning, when they
received the news quietly, many accepting
It with Joy.
Intmrnse crowdi gathered about the
paUce and In the principal squares, notwithstanding-
'the pouring rain, but there
waa really little exjftement considering
the Importance of the event and the
tragedy of It. Crowds of students ran
through the afreets shoutirg, "Long live
King Karageorgevitch!" The soldier took
the king's monogram from their caps and
replaced it with flowers and sprigs of
green. There seemed to be neither sorrow
nor opposition on the part of the people.
Major Luka Lasarewics proudly claims
to have fired the bullet that killed his
queen, while Captain Jwkowll and Captain
Gltochltck Claim equal honors for killing
the king.. King Alexander had looked upon
his assassins unafraid, and the queen, too,
had summoned courage to support her in
the face of death. But when she saw the
leader of the party, Colonel Michln, the
brother Of her' first husband, whom she
had married when she was 17, and who
had divorced her because of her relations
with Alexander, she turned her head away.
In an -Incredibly -short- time after the
tragedy, so quickly, indeed, that it seemed
part of a machine-made plan, a new gov
ernment, was" formed -And the " following
proclamation was' Issued:
Te the Servian People:
Last night the king and queen were shot.
In this grave and fateful movement friends
of the Fatherland have combined to form a
new government. While the government
makes this announcement to. the people, It
Is convinced that tne Servian people will
gather around it and lend It their aid to
maintain ordei and aecurlty throughout
th land.
The government hereby makes known
that from today the constitution of April
t,t 1901, comes In force. A meeting of the
national representatives, dissolved by the
proclamation of March 24. is summoned to
meet at Belgrade June 15.

The new king. Prince Karageorgevitch,
has wired from Geneva saying that he Is
greatly astoniahed at the news, which he
learned from a private dispatch, but not
Indicating whether he will accept the pre
ferred throne, although he ' has been a
pretender for years.
.The immediate cause of the revolution
was the return to Belgrade of Lieutenant
LUnjevlta, brother of the queen, and a
apposed candidate for the throne. The
surviving ministers have been arrested.
The obsequies of the king and queen will
be held on June 14. .Intense Joy prevails.
,The career of the Obrenovltch dynasty
wm closed on the same day of the year
on which Prince Michael was murdered
thirty-five years ago In the park of Toph
scolder, near Belgrade. Today a requiem
mass was sung in his memory and now the
last of. his race,' together with all con
nected with the dynasty by his unfor
tunate marriage, lies on a bier In the pal
ace at Belgrade.
Prince ' Karageorgevitch. openly pro
claimed king, has long been a pretender to
the throne. , lie has resided in Paris, where
he was a Well known ftoulevardler. Four
year's age his cousin, Prince Alexis, was
reported engaged to Mabclle Swift of Boa,
ton, whose father Is allied to the great
Chicago 'packing Ann. lie has been ac
tively engineering his conspiracy for the
Servian throne foe two years. An uprising
led by a relative In March of lost year was
abortive. '
Recently the dissatisfaction of the army,
whose pay was In arrears, and the personal
unpopularity of the king and queen, gave
the opening long sought. The first active
step ' Was revealed on June 3, when the
Freij''h cook attached to the palace com
mitted suicide after declaring that he had
teen forced under threats of assassination
to promise to poison, the king and queen.
It took little to turn the army, against
the reigning dynasty, as neither officers nor
men had received any pay for a long time.
The populace, too, had been made hostile
by Alexander's marriage to Draga.

shot dead. King Alexander was calling for
help through the window of his bedroom.
When nobody came he gave himself up as
lost and returned to the queen. He put
his arms round her and waited until the
officers burst open the door nd fired upon
him. The king and. aueen. Btlll tightly

fired by Captains Jwkowll and Ollschltch.
"Other detachments of officers entered the

"When the king and queen were dead the
officers drew the bed linen out of the bed
and wrapped' each body in a sheet and
dropped them into the garden, where they
were placed In an arbor until a. hoarse took
them away at daybreak." The Other" bodies
were similarly treated. The new premier,

his life that everybody was safe in the

in tho army, which felt ltsatt governed by
Queen Draga, The revolt who no suddon

GENEVA. Swltierland. June: It (New
York World Cablegram Special Telegram.)
Interviewed tonight. Prlnoe Karageorge
vitch declared hla Intention of accepting
and holding the throne if possible. The in
terview was given in the presence of the
Russian consul, who tirged It's wisdom.
"I was utterly ignorant of the Intentions
of the revolutionists," he said, turning for
confirmation to the consul, "you know I
expected nothing."
Asked what truth there was in the re
port that he would take the throne and
then abdicate in favor of his son, he said:
I shall occupy the throne myself If pos
sible to take it. I am greatly gratified by
the manifestation of loyalty shown toward
me In Bcrvla. I have always considered my
self tha rightful king, although nor wishing
or expecting bloodshed.
From other sources It Is learned the
prince will leave secretly on Friday for
Vienna, whence he will proceed to Belgrade.
Rumors have been cur-ent here for three
days of expected trouble In Bervta, and
Prince Karageorgevitch has been receiving
an enormous number 'of telegrams for a
week past, many of them from the frontier
of Servia. . .
There seems to be no doubt that Russian
money waa ud In the revolution, which,
according to general belief, was plsnned
here.
It is recalled ' that when the Austrian
empress was murdered by the anarchist
I.uchlnl In this city in 189 Prince Kara
georgevitch openly applauded the deed.

Comes of Age.
VIENNA, June ll.-The following semi
official statement Of the view of the
Austrian government la published tonight:
Austro-Hungarlan policy observes com
plete neutrality as to events in Servia
and will- only abandon this In the event,
which at present Is not to be. assumed, of
being forced to do so through the imme
diate Jeopardising ef our Interests.
We should regard the subservance of the
Servians to the old Karageoi gevltoh dy
nasty as quite natural and would approve
It under the present circumstances, as this
step oftqrs the most promising solution for
the peace and crder of the country..
. A prominent Austrian war offfbial is re
ported as saying, that, Austria will only
have to Intervene lit Servia If the disor
ders extend over the border Into Bosnia
and Herxgovnla. While the murders at
Belgrade,, continued the official, must be
regretted, it is probable the diplomats of
eaatern Europe i have cause to feel easier
in their minds,', as, King Alexander's po
sition hod become untenable and the days
of his reign were numbered.
As there Is now .no pretender to the
throne from the Obrenovltch family, it may
be expected that Servia will have an op
portunity to recover from the disorders
whloh have troubled- It recently and h.
come a less tlkquletmg factor In the
uaiKan situation.
A dispatch received by the Austrian for
elgn office this afternoon announcta that
tho Servian' parliament, which has been
summoned for June' 13, will' only elect
Prince Peter Karageorgevitch king in the
event -of Austria and Russia not opposing
such a step.
Austria would not 'object, for although
the prince was the avowed enemv cf
Austria, he has recently given' repeated
assurances that lit the: event of his Coming
to the throne of Servia he was desirous
of living amicably with Austria.

LONDON, June 11. The universal anxiety
of the governments of Europe for peace Is
advanced as a reason why the Servian sit
uation is not likely to lead to complica
tions. " Should, however, the unexpected
arise, official circles think an Austro-Hungarlan
army will immediately murrh into
Servia and restore order. This eventuality,
however, is considered Improbable.
Prince Peter Karageorgevitch is knbwn
to be a favorite of the Russian rmM
it has long been thought that his son was
destined to occupy '"the throne of Servia.
The boy has been brought up at the Rus
sian court, practically as the rur1,

peter wnen ne attains his majority.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra were

ENDS FORTY JfEARS' SERVICE
Sergeant William L. Allison of Fort

list.
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. June 11
(Speclal.) Ordnance Sergeant William I
Allison, stationed at Fort Crook, Neb., has
applied for retirement, having complete!
forty years' continuous service on the 9th
lnt. Eergeant Allison Is a well known
soldier about Omaha, where h has been
stationed for more than twenty years. Ho
enlisted June 9, 1863, In the First California
volunteers. On being mustered out after
the close of th war he discovered that life
in the army suited him better than follow
ing a plow, which he left to serve his coun
try. He re-enllsted seventeen days later
and became a member of Company K,
Ninth Infantry. In this organization he
remained, without the loss of a single day's
duty, until May 8, 1S85, when his appoint
ment as ordnance sergeant followed. In
this grade he has since served. He held
every noncommissioned rank In his com
pany, being appointed, from first sergeant.
He was never on the sick list report for
a single day of his service, never tried by
court-martial. It is doubtful whether this
record can be excelled by any man now in
the army. Seargeant Allison was recently
ordered to the Philippines, but he preferred
retirement. He very much dislikes to sever
his connection with the army, with which
he has teen Identified for forty years.

SOLDIERS GUARD WITNESSES
Martial Law Declared and Town of Jackson
is Qn et u a Result.
WITNESSES TdL Of ASSASSINATION
later of Wardered Man Testifies of
Admission Made by Defendant
Jett Immediately After
th Killing;
JACKSON, Ky., June ll.-Ther was a
great change here today. Putting the town
under martial law with Provost .Marshal
Longmlre In charge of everything has cre
ated consternation In some circles and re
lief in others. The soldiers who now are
on guard duty at different places and oft
picket duty are able to make arrests any
where and take those who are under arrest
before tho grand Jury and not before the
county Judge
It was openly stated today that B. Ia
Ewen would not have dared heretofore to
have told about being offered 16,000 If h
would not testify against the defendant. As
t is, the Jurors as well as the witnesses
have less feaf In the discharge of their
duties. The soldiers are disarming all whom
they find with concealed weapons and main
taining such order as has not been known
here for a long time.
Vnd rr the provost marshal the town is
quiet, notwithstanding th excitement over
the testimony of B. L. Ewen and Mis. Mary
Johnson, the slater of Marcum. The crowd
at the court house waa much larger today.
The soldiers brought Jett and White from
the Jail and guarded them In court. Jett
was as confident as ever and Whlto was
more despondent. White's mother Is with
him and constantly begging him to Ml the
whole truth. Miss Sarah Hargls, daughter
of the county judge, was today again
seated beside the defendants.
The court ruled that Hurst could testify
as to the conversation about poisoning pris
oners, but the attorneys for the defense
withdrew the objection and the testimony
can now be received.
Jett Admits Killing.
Mrs. Mary Johnson, when put on the
stand, snld Jett admitted that he killed
Marcum. She said:
"i started home. Curtis Jett and Tom
hlto overtook me. I asked Jett if he
killed Jim. Ho answered, 'Hargls' money
did It. but I fired the shot.' White dented
thit he fired a shot. But once I saw White
lying in wait in a rock quarry to kill my
brother., It was near my brother's house-
last June."
Ewen was recalled, but denied that he
had told any one that, he had fired a pistol
after Marcum was shot.
Will Clements snld he was In Hargls'
store And caught a glimpse of the assas
sin, whom he did not recognize.
Miss Mfggie Combs said she heard Jett
say to ..Mrs. Johnson: "yes. I killed Mar
cum; thore cannot be a pistol fired In Jack
son unless I do It."
Miss Emma Clark, said she was In Har
gls' store and when the shots were fired
Sheriff - Callahan drew his revolver and
looked out of the window. She said she
had left Jett at Day Bros.' store some mln
utes before. She afterward, with Judge
French, traversed the distance between the
two stores in two minutes and thus sup
posed she had seen Jett at the store men
tioned about that long before hearing the
shots. - . '.
Court here adjourned.

It Is In the treatment of this most dis

In any climate, always ready, aud agree
able to the most delicate, they present to
those uflerlng from Kczcma tho most
successful curatlveof modern times. We
know that this will be considered strong
language h those acquainted with the
character and obstinacy of the disease
nnder consideration, but 1t I justified
by Innumerable successes where oil the
remedies and method In vojno have
failed to cure, and, In many cases, to
relieve, even.
The first stp In the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales and
crusts and soften tho skin, by warm
baths with Cutlcura Soap. Tho scalis
ears, elbow, hands, ankles and feet will
require frequently a thorough ao'tkinp: In
order to penetrate the thickened skin
and crusts with which those parts are
often covered. Dry carefully, and ap
ply Cutlcura Ointment, lightly at first,
and where advisable spread it on piece
of soft cloth and bind In place. Tuke
the ltesolvent, pills or liquid, In medium
doses. Do not use cold water In bath
