ASSASSINATIONS IN HISTORY. | Of These, Twelve Rulers Have Met Death Since 1880, The number of attempted assassin- -ot-rulers; and men high in the affairs of nations willnever be known. Many are the Nihilist and Anarchist plots that tail in the nations of the old world. Then itis the work of the officials, especial- ly if it be such a country as Russia or Spain, to keep the report from be- coming public. Those slain by eesassins since 1880, who may be classed as rulers, number twelve, Of | these King Alexander of Servia and his queen are the most recent They were murdered by the officers of one of the king’s own regiments who headed a plot to depose the kingand queen. The murder preceding was that of William McKinley, President of the United States, shot to death - by an Anarchist at the Buffalo expo- sition. Here are the mostimportant assassinations since 1880: Alexander II, czar of Russia, killed by the explosion of a bomb, by Nibil- feta in St. Petersburg, March 13, 1881, James A. Garfield, President of the United States, shot by Charles J. Guiteanin Washington, July 2, 1881. Sadi Carnot, president of France, etabbed by an Italian in Lyons, France, June 24, 1894. , Stanislaus Stambouloff, ex-premier of Bulgaria, killed by four persons, armed with revolvers and knives, July 25, 1895. Nasr-ed-Din, shah of Persia, killed May 1, 1896, as he was entering a shrine near his palace. The man who shot him down was disguised as & woman, and is believed to have been the tool of @ band of conspira- tors. He was caught and suffered the most horrible death that Persian ingenuity could invent. Antonio Canovas del Castillo, prime minister of Spain, shot to death by “ Michael Angolillo, alias Golli, an Ttallan Anarchist, at Santa Agueda, Spain, while going to the baths, August 8, 1897. 5 Juan Idiarte Borda, president of » Uruguay, August 25, 1897, in Montevideo, by Avelino Arrendondo, officer in Uruguayan army. Jose Maria Reyna Barrios, presi- dent of Guatemala, Guatemala City, February 8, 1898, by Oscar Solinger. Empress Elizabeth of Austria stab- bed in the heart by Laochini, a French-Italian Anarchist, in Geneva, Switzerland, while going from her hotel to a boat, September 10,1898, Ulisses Heureaux, president of Santo Domingo, shot at Moca, Santo Domingo, July 26, 1899. Humbert, king of Italy, shot at Monza, Italy, July 29, 1900. William Goebel, Democratic claim- ant to the governorship of Ken. X tucky, shot by a person unknown, * Tuesday, January 30, 1900, while on his way to the state capitol in Frankfort, Ky. M. Sipiagin, Russian minister of the interlor, shot by a student April 15, 1901. (Plehve was his succes- * sor.) t M. Bozolepoff, Russian minister of education, killed by a student early in 1901. } William McKinley, President of the ' United States, shot in Buffalo, atthe Pan-American exposition, September 6,1901, by Leon Czolosz, an Anarch- ., ist. President McKinley died Sep- tember 14, The sssasein was put to _¥ death in the electric chair. King Alexander of Servia and his queen, Draga, shot to death in their | palacein Belgrade ina military revo- lution. Premier Markovitch, Minis- ter Petrovitch and Minister Tudoro- vics, members of the king’s cabinet, were attacked and shot to death in|’ their respective homes the same night, June 10, 1903. The queen’s brother, Nickodem, also was assadsi- nated. mh however, two having died during the last year. This solitary survivor is Mrs, Esther 8. Damon, and she lives at Plymouth Union, Vt. Her maid- en name was Esther Summers, and she was born in Plymouth in 1814. When she was 21 years old, she was married to Noah Damon, then 76 years old, who had served two years in the Massachusetts continentals, and was in the battle of Long Island, The marriage took place in 1835, and Damon died in 1853. Mrs. Damon, who is now 90 years old, may be regarded as @ very inter- esting person, inasmuch as she fur- nishes a connecting link between the war for independence and the present day—a time-break of 125 years. Though she herself did not witness the birth of this great republic, her husband beheld that event and took part in the doings which led to the formation of our government. It seems wonderful to think that aman whose wife is now alive and drawing a stipend from the treasury was old enough to bear arms when the shot fired at Lexington was heard around the world. Colorado Miners Decline to De- clare Strike Off. Denver, Colo., July 27.—Adj. Gen. Sherman M. Bell has expressed dis- sent from the opinion of Gov. Pea- body that the Cripple Creek district is sufficiently pacified to justify the withdrawal of the national guard. “J look for aclash, now that mill- tary rule is ended,” said he. “T have called off the militia,” said Gov. Peabody; “now, let the unions do the proper thing and call off the strike.” William D. Haywood, secretary- treasurer of the Western federation of miners, sald to-day: ‘The calling off of the militia has not theslightest bearing on the proposition to call off the strike.” Fought for Life With Mad Bulls Syracuse, N.Y., July 30.—Eugene Mill, an employe ofastock farm near this clty, has had a hard fight for life with two prize bulls, and only for the timely arrival of his employer would have been killed. . The animals were in a box car pre- paratory to being shipped to the World’s Fair and Mills attempted to tighten the rope on one of them. The bull made & rush at the man and, striking him in thechest, knock- ed him down. Scrambling to his fect he tried to escape, but was met by the other animal. Mills was again knocked down and \ f Ivanoviteh Bobrikoff, governor of | fobs manag by a soa of Senator \ a Finnish patriot, June 16, 1904. Schaumann committed suicide. Bobrikoff died June 17. * M.

MEXICAN Mustai n> AMY He'll Find No Gold, Either. Guthrie, Ok., July 28. Prof. Edwin De Barr of the University of Okla- homa has submitted to Governor Ferguson his report of his iuvesti- gations of the alleged mineral re- sources of the Wichita mountains. The report will be mado public in about ten days. Prof. DeBarr trav- eled about 400 miles this summer visiting the different camps. in the mountains and procured specimens trom the mines. He took 190 speci- | meus to his laboratory at the uni- versity and made about fifty assays, using three different methods in each assay. The purpose of his investi- gations was to determine definitely uot only whether gold and silver exist in paying quantities in the Wichitas, but whether there is even | atrace of these metals. Prof. De Barr would say nothing to-day about the detalls of his report, but} made the significant statement that | he expected to receive more abuse and criticism from the Wichita min- ere than they gave to H. I’. Bain, the government geologist, who went into the mountains last fall and re- ported adversely upon the mineral resources. She Masqueraded as a Man. Cheyenne, Wyo., July 30.—Mas- querading as @ man, doing manual labor and living among rough, un- couth workingmen in South Chey- enne for two years, guarding her secretand with uo one suspecting her identity, Mrs. Jennie Vernon is dead.

Lincoln, Neb, July 30.—Under the heading, “candidate Davis's Age,” W. J. Broan willsay in this week's issue of the Commoner: “Some objection ts being made to | Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate | for vice-president, on secount of his age. This objection is not valid. Mr, Davis, as all know who enjoy his | bodies, At Quakake Valley, light- personal acquaintance, is exception- ally well preserved for one of his age No one would guess him more than 70 and doubtless he feels younger than that. To offset any argument that may be made against his age it must be remembered that his nomi- nation encourages aspirants for high office to join the Democratic party, In 1896 the party nominated a pres- idential candidate who was only 36, As its vice presidential candidate is 80 it is evident from the record that there are furty four years In every Democrat's life, during which he is eligible toa place on the national ticket.

Clark, the head of the state troops, returned to his home at Butler. It required $38,000, all furnished by Uncle Sam, to cover the expenses of the encampment, a large part of which went for pay of officers and men. The local company H, 2d regi- ment, remained on duty to the last, to guard property of the state tillite removal. Gen. Clark to-day express- ed the belief that the encampment was the most successful ever held in the state. MILLIONAIRE'S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as a horrible example of evils attendant on the possesston of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. Theproportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys- pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themselves ofa standard medicine like Green’s Au- ag Flower, which has been a favor- ite houeehoid remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years. August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and {n- d perfect di ion.
