FLOOD MADE It Is Believed That Question of Punishment of Assassins of Former Rulers Will Be Allowed to Lapse. At Belgrade, Servla, on the 25tn, King Peter Karageorgevitch took the oath before the skupschtina. Previous to the kings taking the oath there was a joint sitting of the senate and Skupschtina, attended by a religious service at which the metro, ' politan officiated,. The president of the senate opened the session with the announcement that the king would take the oath to maintain the constitution. King Peter then appeared wearing bis .orders and decorations and accompanied by his cabinet ministers. The metropolitan Uttered a brief prayer and then read the oath, which the king repeated to a firm voice. Loud cries of Long live Peter punctuated the king's repetition of the oath. During the day the king had several conferences with the ministers, and a royal proclamation was Issued and waa well received. It is believed that the question of punishment of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga will he allowed to lapse. It was remarked today that Colonel Maschfn, minister of public works, wl)9 I2fk a leading part in the kept in the background during the ceteniony at the ' parliament building. The foreign ministers Bave left Belgrade. All the ministers received similar instructions to act together. Accordingly an understanding was reached that they should depart, this step betof regarded as the most emphatic method of impressing the powers pretest against the asaassl-Nation'of King Alexander and Queen Draga. The Russian and Austrian representatives . apparently shared to the principle of the protest, but did not withdraw, because Russia and Austria were apprehensive that a united withdrawal of the entire diplomatic representation at Belgrade would, precipitate another revolution. - assas-slnation- r s tradeln the future When trade , ,, - deadlocked ' - , - n non-unio- n e' 100-da- y left-ove- . two-year- Pool weather' ;fdr Skunking," ' remarked onet of, the regular patrons of the stove corner of the store . as he ' took his seat and shook the accumulation 6f snow from hfs shaggy . , , 4 , whiskers, , .

Yon see, Mr. Denison was formerly pastor of the Baptist church' at Cherry creek, and while., there he joined the grange and became an active member. A while ago he moved np to Jamestown - and assumed the pastorate of the Calvary Baptist church of that City. He retained his membership in the grange. In fact he was a member of Union , to Jamestown, grange, and which is the largest and liveliest grange to the whole country. He was conspicuous .member of the grange, too, being to fact the chaplain.

Well, Ill describe him for you. Hes one of those big, jolly, 'liberal fellows that can be found adorning the ministry In every community, and he has a dry fund of humor that among his friends is simply Irresistible. Well, one day the grange had been discussing the protection of almost every bird and beast that is found kind on the farms, and Mr. Denison, more as a joke than anything else, suggested that this protection should be extended to skunks. The skunk, said he, with apparent earnestness, Is a very useful animal. Moreover, he Is valuable, and at the present rate of skunk hunting he will soon be exterminated. Why not protect him as well as the fowls of the air and the fish of the deep? The grangers took this talk very serioosly, and before the Rev. Deal-so- n realized what had happened they were agitating skunk protection laws.

The object is to do away with the large number of cheap and useless stallions. The result will be the narrowing of sires to the most select strains and consequent improvement to the breed.
