The assassination of the King and Queen of Servia has Indirectly come up before the Berlin courts. In a recently published article Colonel Gaedke, military editor of the Berliner Tageblatt, asserted that the Servian oncers concerned in the murder of King Alexander had seriously failed in their duty toward their King, the commander-in-chief of the army, but at the same time there existed a higher duty of every citizen to the state, which even the oath to the monarch could not dissolve. These words were taken up by the Kreuz Zeltung, and In the controversy whicn followed Dr. Kropatschek, editor of this paper.' said an officer like Colonel Gaedke was unworthy of belonging to the officers corps while holding such views. Because of this statement Colonel Gaedke entered suit against Dr. Kropatschek. and now the court has rendered a decision in favor of the defendant on the ground that Colonel Gaedke'n article made a comparison of the conditions existing at the German and the Servian courts. The court said: "If it Is si id that an officer's oath to his monarch Is not above that to his country such a condition would lead to serious consequences, and the same right should then be accord to a sergeant and common soldier." Iuterest has hn added to a case by a reference published by the Kreuz Zitnng to Emperor William's remark to tho effect that under certain conditions soldiers should shoot their relatives.

WE GUARANTEE SATISFACTION ler s case, presented at the clinics of the Post Graduate Hospital, has been the object of much inquiry from physicians interested In electro-therapeutics. From a condition where she suffered attacks on an iverage of two each day, with accompanying physical exhaustion. Miss Winkler is now ruddy-cheeked and vivacious and declares he is cured. l)r. J. II. Branth, of West Eighty-seventh street, will not pronounce Miss Winkler cured, although he regards her condition as almost marvelous. "I would be glad to discuss the matter." he said, "were it not for the fact that before long I Intend to present the record of her case, with those of about twenty others, before my colleagues for their criticism. I am not an enthusiast, and I would rather accept the truths left after the most rigid investigation. As It is. I can hardly believe what I have myself seen of the results of the application of the X-ray to epileptic patients." From other sources it was learned that a majority of the cases treated have responded to the application equally well. One, a worklngman, who was subject to four convulsions a day, has been treated only a few weeks, and is about to reutrn to his work, from which, by the epileptic attacks, he has been prohibited for two years. If It is demonstrated that the discovery by Dr. Branth effects permanent cure in this disease, which hitherto has been believed to be Incurable, there will be added epilepsy to epithelioma, lupus and several other diseases which have been made curable through the agency of the X-ray. 0BITUAEY.

Senator Latimer Wants to Pare Highiraya 'Ith the People Money. BURLINGTON, la., Oct. 21. United States Senator Asbury C. Latimer, of South Carolina, addressed the Southeastern Iowa Good .Roads Association this evening. He favored government aid in highway improvement. He said: "An effort is now being made by some of the most Influential men in public life to devise some financial scheme by which the treasury surplus now taken from circulation under the Dlngley tariff may be put back into circulation. The scheme is to loan this money to national banks without interest. I am opposed to this, and feel it would be far better for the federal government to appropriate $10u,O0ü -DUO of this surplus per annum for five years for the purpose of building good roads. Thl $r00,00t,tu0, supplemented by an additional $jOO.u)0,000 from the people, would, in my Judgment, meet all demands necessary to improve' the roads throughout the Union' A LIVE MAMMOTH. Reports of One Walking the Far North. New York Herald Special. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Saturday.-Dr. J. P. Frizell. who has arrived here from the North, pays in an interview: "I don't wish to make myself ridiculous to the scientific world by stating as a fact that at least one living specimen of the mammoth family is villi roaming at large on the American side of the Arctic regions. However, I saw with my own eyes comparatively fresh tracks that apparently could- not have been made by any other animal but a mammoth. I ran across the animal's tracks in the Island of Unlmak, which is 1Ä miles around and twenty-ttve miles in width. It is about four miles from the mainland, and animals can walk back and forth from land." Dr. Frexlll is in the government's employ and has been in the Arctic regions for several years. "The tracks could be distinctly seen In ths ice and snow, and I followed them for quite a distance," the doctor added. "They sank four inches deep into the frozen ground and were four feet apart, showing that distanc to be the stride of the animal. The size of the tracks were nlnteen by twenty Inches. In each track were the distinct Impressions of eighteen toes. I ran across these animal tracks in the cotitry between Mount Pompromni and Mount Scheschald. "Unlmak fairly teems with animal life, and particularly with game. It is a hunter's paradise for caribou, bear and the red fox. The cinnamon variety of bear there lalarge, but an animal of that kind couldn't have made the tracks hlch 1 and the mem bers of my party ran acrofs. The tracks were so large and almost circular in form that a large tucket turned down over ons of them would Just about have covered It." UlrdN aud Inserts. New York Post.
