SERVIAN MINISTRY j TROOPS UNDER ARMS THROWNjNTO PANIC King Peter’s Arrival Is Anx iously Awaited. MINISTERS ARB IN DILEMMA. Russian and Austrian Demands For the Punishment of the Aassassfns of Alexander and Drags Has Caused Great Uneasiness. Belgrade, June 22.—The petition of the ministry Is becoming daily more unenviable in consequence of the Rus sian and Austrian demands for the punishment of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga. The terms of the Russian note also caused a panic among the ministers, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of King Peter to extricate them from their dilemma. The war minister is the paramount power in tho mlnstery, as he is backed by the entire army and he threatens severe resentment in the case of any hint by a member of the cabinet of the punishment the case of the conspirators. The promotions of officers sent from Geneva are variously explained as eith er Intended as an open defiance or *• being the result of alarm caused by the attitude of the army. The foreign representatives who have not been instructed are asking their respective governments what attitude they shall assume at the reception of King Peter. The Russian minister fa in a quandary. He had resumed re lations with the provisional govern ment when the esar telegraphed tats recognition of King Peter, but the min ister takes the subsequent publication of Russia’s demand for punishment as an indication that Russia will probably order the suspension of relation* with the government until the murderers are punished. Meanwhile the prep arations for the reception of King Peter continue. A public holiday has been proclaimed. ProvMcial deputa tions are coming to Belgrade; free -wine and beer Is to be provided by the gov ernment and the town Is to be given up to rejoicing. TRYING TO AGREE ON SCALE. AT RICHMOND, VA.

TILLMAN’S CASE. S5QO FOR WOMEN , WHO CANNOT BE CURED. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record •uch as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the propeictor* and ranker* of Dr. Piurctr’s Pavonte Prescription now t>el fully % warrautt'<l in offering to pay $500 in lctfu!

Their financial responsibility i* well known to every newspaper publisher and rinifrvist in the United Stitw. with mo.,t of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprece dented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an unparalleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce’a .Favorite Pre scription could possibly "win out.” as the saving goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed for the cure of woman’s peculiar ailments. This wonderful remedy, there fore, stands absolutely alone aa the cnly one poseessed of such remarkable curative properties as would warrant ita makers in publishing such a marvelous offer as is above made in the utmost good faith.
