Sarajevo, Bosnia. .lune 28.-Arch duke Franois Ferdinand. heir to Austria-Hungarian throne, and the Princess of Hohenberg, his morga natic wife, were shot dead to-day by a student in the main street of the Forjan capital, a short 'time af te: they had ??soaped death from a bomb hailed at the :-r?val aiitomol?1':. The two were slain as they were passing through the city on their annual visit to the annexed provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The archduke was struck full in the race and the princess was shot through thc abdomen and throat. They died a few minutes after reach ing Ihe palace, to which they were hurried. With Bomb mid Pistol Those responsible for the assassin ation took care 'that it should prove effective. There were two assailants, the first armed with a bomb and the second with a revolver. The bomb was thrown at the royal automobile as it stied to the town hall, where a recept'"?!: .vas to be held. The archduke saw the missile hurtling through the air and warded rt off with bis arm. lt fell outside the car and exploded, slightly wound ing two aides de camp in a second car and half a dozen spectators. ht was on the return of the pro cession that the tragedy was added to the long list of those that have darkened the pages of the recent his tory of the Hapsburgs. As the royal automobile reached a prominent point in the route to the palace, an eighth grade student, Gav rlo Prinzip, sprang out of the crowd and poured a deadly fusillade of bul lets from an automatic pistol at t'he archduke and princess. Slain on Mercy Mission.. At the town ball the burgomaster began the customary address, but the archduke sharply interrupted and simpjied out: "Herr Burgomaster, we have come here to pay you a visit and bombs have been thrown at us. This is al together an amazing Indignity." After a pause, the archduke said: "Now you may speak." On leaving the 'hall, the archduke aiid his wife announced their Inten tion of visiting 'the wounded mem bers of their suite at the hospital on their way back to the palace. They actually were bound on their mis sion of mercy, when, at the corner of Rudolfo sfrasso and Franz Josef Strasse, Prinzip opened dre. The duchess fell unconscious across her husband's knee. At the same mo ment the archduke sank to the floor of t he car. The assassins were interrogated hy the police and both seemed to glory in their exploit. Prinzip said he had studied for a Hine at Belgrade. He declared be bad intended to kill some eminent person from national motives. He was awaiting the arch duke at a point Where lie knew the automobile would slacken speed, turning into Franz Josef Strasse. The presence of the duchess in the ear caused him to hesitate, but only for a moment. Then his nerve re turned and he emptied his pistol at thc imperial pair. He denied he had accomplices. Both Assassins Young. Prinzip is 18 years of age. N'ed eljo Gabrinovlcs is 21. He told the police be had obtained Ibo bomb fi om anarchists at Belgrade, whose names be did not know. He denied also that he bad accomplices, and treated the tragedy with cynical in difference. After his unsuccessful attempt lo blow up the imperial visitors, Cab rino.vics sp auk into the Mlljachka i iver in an effort to escape, but. spec tators plunged after him and seized bim. A lew yard?< from the scene of the shooting an unexploded bomb was found, which, it was suspected, was tlnovvn away by au accomplice after 'he had noted the success of Prinzip's attack.

Estimated Property IJOSH, $20,000,- S Ooo-No Lives Lost. - Salem, Mass., June 25.-Nearly half th? "Old Witch City" of Salem. 1 rieh in historie buildings and tradi- ? tlon. W?S devastated to-day and to- l Dight by a tire 'that caused an esti- J mated loss of $20,000,000. A thou sand buildings were destroyed, in cluding'a score of manufacturing es tablishments, and made 10,000 of the 4 5,000 residents homeless. The fire originated in the Korn Leather'Factory, on the west side of the city, about 2 o'clock this after noon abd swept through the shoe and leather manufacturing district, ruining fe\cry building In a curving path two miles long and more than, a half-mile wide. Burning embers, carried by a ? strong northwest wind, started fires j In two other sections, the fashlona ! hie residential district adjacent to Lafayette street, and a manufactur ing and tenement house district on the peninsula, hounded by Palmer's ! Cove. 'South river and the water j rront. Fire Brands Fly. Late ju the evening brands kin dled a fourth fire in the plant /o', the Salem ?jl Company in Mason street. The oil tanks blew up with a terrific report ?nd showers of sparks fell threateningly on a part of the town that befbre had not been lb immi nent dagger. This fire, however, was checked . after it had destroyed the oil company's plant and 13 houses. When the flames were believed to be tindal1 control at ll o'clock to night Au the historic and literary landmonks had escaped destruction. These included the Peabody Museum. Essex institute, customs house, where. Nathaniel Hawthorne did much Ofj his literary work, and the "House pT the Seven Cables," made famous Ly the novelist. Sevenal buildings were dynamited and laURto-nlght lt looked as though the fire^had been checked. No fatal ities had been reported up to mid night, but in the confusion it was impossible io estimate the casual ties. Some 5 0 Injured persons were removed to hospitals. Thousands of homeless were camped im Salem common ^to-night and tin- . ?tv waa IK>1 ieeti by militia men. The great destruction was due to poor vwater pressure. Late to-night fire brands carried into the business section started a second tire at North street. A little later a tank of the Standard Oil Company in the extreme northwest of the city was ablaze and presently a third fire was leveling the build ings in that vicinity. The burned buildings include the plants of a score ot manufacturing companies, among them the big fac tory of the Naumkeag Cotton Mills, twice as many lins!ness places, St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church, re- ? cently erected at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars, the orphan asy lum and more than 200 residences and tenement buildings. Among these residences were colonial houses which artists have declared to be the finest type of that architecture in the country. Fight Flit?. A determined effort was made to stop thc fire at the Posion & Maine railroad station close to the center of the city. Several garages were dynamited after a tower in the rail road yard had burnell. The entire district occupied by the Italian and Creek colonies was devastated. Most of the 2,000 persons who hud homes In that district were housed tempo rarily at the Y. M. C. A. building, the State armory, police station ami other public buildings. The blaze was started by an un explained explosion in the factory of the Korn Leather Company. At the start the water pressure was low and when the light had be come desperate a great waler main near Beverly Bridge broke-, making the firemen virtually helpless. Mean time calls for assistance had been sent to nearby cities and an enorm ous quantity of apparatus responded. The Manchester t N. II.) engine undertook to pump water from the ocean. Boston, Lynn and other cities sent apparatus and details of police. But the combined efforts of the great aggregation ot ti re light ing machines were futile, and when darkness fell dynamite was used. Several blocks in the path of the flames were blown up in hope of checking their progress, but a fickle wind carried the destru? ion in a new direction. The great loss is partially covered by insurance, estimated at about $0, (100,000. Miss Ora Arve Walhalla, Itt. 1. Miss Alice Darker, Tamassee. Miss Lucy Brandt, Walhalla.

While there are a few crops that look good, the most of them are very small and irregular. Where the crops got up In time, in many in stances tibey are being "laid by." This is to your loss, if cultivation will produce a stalk there is no ques tion but that it will produce fruit. I see corn "laid by" with a half shovel and sowed to peas in the northern part of the county. Now the sowing of peas is the thing to do, bet you have cut off the yield hal." by quitting the corn so soon and leavl ig it in that condition. I have laug'it frequent but shallow cultiva tion from the very start. Continue to cultivate frequently, but shallow, until silking -more especially in a rt ry season. Sow forage? crops; plant corn, molasses cane, peas, turnips-any thing lo eat or to feed the animal family on I am planning a large acreage of dovers and grasses this season. I un in a position to get seed that have been approved by the govern ment at a reasonable Uguie, al though tin' price ls advancing very rapidl.v. I can get lime f. o. h. Wal halla and Westminster at $4 per ton. I feel quite sure that all par lies who want seed and expect me to get them would do the right thing to make the necessary arrangements it an early date, for prices on these ?eed will advance very fast. We must hope for a brighter day, ?>iit only those who stand to the fight will win. There ls no victory 'or tim "quitter." We are com rie! i ed to keep trying. Tho fanner ias more risks and takes more ha lce-s than all other professions in he world put together. We are the ait ifni few for all. A great many or whom we are making every bite hey eat. will not so much as look towards us when we meet them. We feed and clothe the world; wo are the lenders of this great continent. If the farmer fails the world will suffer loss. Continue co strive for success. Ap ply nitrate of soda; continue to cul t?vale shallow. Prepare for the farmers' meetings} in August, and when you meet up i REDUCING TH IO ItONDICl) DEBT. first! Payment on Maturing Principal Was Made Yesterday. Ten years ago to-day (July I. 1904.) Oeoneo county floated a bond ssue of $45,000, the amount being .etlrable In three installments of M 5.000 eaeh at ten-year intervals, he whole bearing Interest ut a rate >f f? per cent per annum, payable ;emi-annually. Tho first ten-year teriod was completed yesterday, and he county oflleinls mailed out a ?heck covering the first payment on irincipai ($16,000.) and interest for lix months, up to .lune 30, 1914. On lune 30. 1021, I he second payment viii be due. and lt will bo met, ?H u the present instance, with funds .aised by a small tax levy, this be ag supplemented by interest drawn >y the surplus of this special fund, vhich is kepi loaned out to the banks .ontlnually. On June 30. 1934, the ast Installment wilh be duo, ?nd at bat time tfhe total indebtedness will >e wiped out. Up to the present time tho Inter ?st on thu total bond issue has been :ared for out of a tax levy of mill until 1913, when the levy was reduced to V4 nilli because lt was found that the original levy raised i little more than the necessnry imount to meei the needs of the rtnse. The funds necessary in the future to meet interest on Hie bonds will be less than heretofore, and it may be Mi at the Yt mill levy will :arry the interest permanently, as t'here will be in the future Interest, io pay on $30,000 Instead of $45, 0 0 0 as in the past. There may be many who do not understand tho circumstances that made the bond issue necessary, but lt will be recalled by all that some years ago Oeonee suffered great loss by reason of the freshets, when prac tically every bridge in the county of any consequence was swept av: y.' These bad to be rebuilt, and this I n usual expenditure was called for at a time when tibe county was already in debt. Hence lt was deemed ex pedient to wipe out the genera? debts by issuing bonds in a sum sufficient to pay off all claims with the pro~ ceeds of the bond Issue. It was a wise business dea>, Tfme care of a debt, but. it has proven ex tremely economical. Supervisor Foster is greatly pleas ed with the results as shown at tho close of the first ten-year period. There is on hand, after making tho first principal payment and interest, the sum of $1,181.38 to the credit of the bond retiring fund. FRA Ul) LEADS TO DISMISSALS. M. I?, Harris ami T. B.

Although kept in ignorance of the investigation anti told that be was suffering from a slight physical de fect, I-iongre loft Annapolis when publicity was given to the affair and did not return. The Naval Academy authorities recommended a court martial for Harris, but the ruling of the Secre tary of the Navy was for dishonora ble discharge.
