SOFIA, (Bulgaria), July 20.—The funeral of ex-Premier Stambouloff was prolific of exciting scenes in the streets. The police were under orders from the Premier and Minister of the Interior, to take all precautions to secure tranquility along the route. Detachments occupied the side streets, keeping out of sight in the houses. Stambouloff was shot down by four unknown men in the streets of Sofia while returning to his home from the Union Club. Two of them shot him with revolvers, while the other two stabbed him. He fell to the ground groaning. He was removed to his residence and physicians were summoned. After an examination of the wounds the doctors announced that there was little hope of his recovery. The assassins escaped and there is no clue to their identity. M. Stambouloff was wounded in more than twenty places. He raised his hands to guard his head, and his wrists were nearly resigned. His rule had become too autocratic, and the Prince felt that as long as long as Stambouloff was in power Russia would not recognize a King. The Prince publicly expressed his gratitude to Stambouloff, but popular feeling had turned against him, and in the July elections his supporters were beaten. Later, Stambouloff and the King had a plain talk. In September he was called to explain abusive references he was said to have made to the King. He refused to answer charges, and was compelled to give 35,000 francs bail. In January of the present year he was in utter disgrace, and a Parliamentary Commission was inquiring into the acts of his last Cabinet. The attack was of a personal nature and was joined in by his enemies, who returned to the country. Recently he pleaded that his health demanded that he leave Bulgaria for a while, but he was not permitted to leave Sofia. THE SUGAR BOUNTY. Treasury officials at Washington have raised the question of the constitutionality of the sugar bounty law under the provisions of the appropriation made by the last Congress to pay the bounty claimed by the sugar planters to have been due them at the time of the passage of the last tariff act. The first voucher for a payment under the first mentioned appropriation came a few days ago. It was for $11,000 and was drawn in favor of the Oxnard Best Sugar Company of Grand Island, Neb. Comptroller Bowler, who now has it under consideration, is understood to believe that any law authorizing the payment of a bounty is unconstitutional, although he has never before been called upon to make an official ruling on the question. The sugar men are awriting his decision with considerable anxiety. He has notified the representatives of the Oxnard company to appear before him on Wednesday (westerday) to show cause why the payment of their claim should be allowed. As there is no appeal from the decision of the Comproller of the Treasury, if his decision is adverse to the claimant, there is no way in which the Treasury officials can be compelled by court writs to pay the money claimed, and the only course the Oxnard company can pursue will be to bring suit in the Court of Claims and carry the case to the Supreme Court.

Three weeks ago Frank Johnson, a well-cattleman living at Columbia, Oakland started on a visit to Nopanee, Ind., wife, but at Kansas City deserted her train, leaving her with nothing but a ticket to Nopanee. A few days after arriving she received a letter from her husband at San Francisco, saying he was tired of her and for her to look after herself here and that he had disposed of all of his property in Oaklahoma. She obtained from her friends, returned to Colorado found the story untrue and attatched all property, including 2,000 head of cattle brought suit for a divorce. Notice has been received by the attorney for the Fallbrook Irrigation District in Diego county that on July 22d, in the United State Circuit Court, Judge Ross render his decision in the case of Maria Bradley vs. the Fallbrook Irrigation District.

Stambouloff has been known as the "Bismarck of Bulgaria." For ten years, until his enemies got the best of him a year ago, he was practically the ruler of Bulgaria. He was born in Tirnova, the ancient Bulgarian capital, in 1855. He was short and stout, with a round face and small black eyes.

It discusses his role in the military and his relationship with others, including his involvement in the assassination of Joseph Stalin. The text also mentions his experiences during World War II and his subsequent imprisonment by the Soviet authorities. Stambouloff has been known as the "Bismarck of Bulgaria." For ten years, until his enemies got the best of him a year ago, he was practically the ruler of Bulgaria. He was born in Tirnova, the ancient Bulgarian capital, in 1855. He was short and stout, with a round face and small black eyes. When the Russo-Turkish war broke out he enlisted in the Russian army, and at the end of the war returned to Bulgaria. He was greatly opposed to Russian interference in Bulgarian affairs, and at the same time was eager to make his country independent of the porte. He hunted over Europe for a prince to rule Bulgaria. He chose Ferdinand, and in referring to it years after said: "I had to send a commission to Germany to hunt up a Prince at any price," said Stambouloff. "They pottered about a good deal, but drew at all courts a blank, and were sitting rather disconsolately in a Vienna pothouse when a major, an acquaintance of one of them, dropped in." "What is the trouble," said he. "We're looking for a Prince to reign over us, and cannot find one." "A Prince!" he cried, "I've got the very thing in the barracks just around the corner. Come and look at his points." "They went and found Ferdinand, and finally passed him, and so the business began. I ought to say that the major came flying back a few days later, saying that he had got a much better Prince on approval. But then it was too late. Well, when we had got him I served him, I backed him, I slaved for him. He was ignorant, but for Bulgaria's sake I swore that he should be a success. Whatever imbecilities he committed, and they were thick as autumn leaves, I vowed that they were all my fault and took the blame. Whatever success I had, I gave him all the credit for and proved what a wonderful man he was. Again and again I risked not only station, but my life to help him, and if I lose that life now, as I am more than likely to, it will be done for things done to shield him from his responsibilities." Stambouloff was elected Premier, and became the great central figure in Bulgarian politics. The crowning act of his powerful reign was the marriage which he arranged between Ferdinand and a woman of the royal blood, Princess Marie-Louise of Parma, which was announced by proclamation in February, 1893. At this point in his career Stambouloff again tried to get the great powers to recognize Bulgaria as an independent State. In that he failed. But, against Russian displeasure, is the marriage took place in April, 1893. The Constitution was modified in favor of the wife's religion and her children. The Government was successful at the July elections. In the face of favorable appearances on May 29, 1894, Stambouloff and his colleagues The third daughter of President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland has been named Marion, the name selected by Mrs. Cleveland in honor of the town where she and the President spent the first summer vacation after their marriage. It was on the shores of Marion, across Buzzard's Bay, that Mrs. Cleveland spent what must have been one of the happiest summers in her life, and she has always been more than fond of her sands, its pretty cottages, its rocks and beautifully shaded drives, so that selection of name will not cause surprise, and will undoubtedly tend to make Mrs. Cleveland more popular if that is possible, among the permanent inhabitants of Cape Cod. As in case of Ruth and Esther, the new little one, to-day just 18 days old, has no middle name, and in this fact is again seen a demonstration of the simplicity and old-fashioned beliefs of Mrs. Cleveland in her treatment of her children. The baby has done finely, and gives ample promise of well filling out the trinity of daughters in the Presidential household. Marion has not seen a sick hour since her birth, and Mrs. Cleveland is rapidly regaining her strength. "We had an epidemic of dysentery in this vicinity last summer," says Samuel S. Pollock, of Briceland, Cal. "I was taken with it and suffered severely until some one called my attention to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I procured a bottle and felt better after the first dose. Before one-half of the bottle had been used I was well. I recommended it to my friends and their experience was the same. We all unite in saying it is the best." For sale by Derge. She—Do you still treasure my photograph? The Colonel—Do It! I've have it set in my pocket flask. Apart from the actual butcheries from time to time occurring, the most painful feature of the Armenian situation is that of the women. One cannot investigate the phase of the subject without feelings of horror over the insult and outrages to which these poor creatures are subjected. In hundreds villages there is hardly one woman who is not from time to time made the victim of the passion of the Kurds and Turks. In all these villages of Armenia the Christian women are absolutely at the mercy of their Kurdis and Turkish neighbors. This is not the case in the larger cities because the large Armenian population is itself a protection to the women, but in the villages where the Armenians are in the minority protection is not possible, and the women are at the beckon and call of any Turk or Kurd who happen to take a fancy to them. Moreover, this state of things is said to be well known to the Turkish government. It is the custom of the government to sell to the highest bidder the tax privilege of the various villages, the purchaser having the right to collect all of the taxes from the people. In many cases the number of young women in a village has a great deal to do with the price paid for tax privilege. When the public sale is made of the tax privilege it is no uncommon thing for the auctioneer to call out in the market place, so that all may hear that so many girls are available in the villages. When a man has purchased the tax privilege of a village he considers that he has also bought and paid for the women of the villages; and any attempt on the part of the husbands, brothers or fathers to resent this interpretation of law is looked upon as high treason, punishable with death. If the men object to this treatment of their women they are beaten and driven out from the villages; and in many cases killed. The tax purchaser is able to make an extra profit out of his village by renting out to his friends among the Turks and Kards the privilege of making use of such women as he does not want for him... 1895.

The women who suffer the most are the brides. Kurds and Turks think it great sport to carry off a bride from the very arms of her husband and to keep her in their houses until they become tired of her presence. W. S. Scott, Secretary of the Viticultural Commission, says the grape crop will be short this year. At the onset of the season it seemed as though this would be a year of very abundant yield, and it was estimated that probably 22,000,000 gallons of wine would be made. But lately the berries have not matured as well as was expected. In many vineyards they have not filled out, and it is now thought that fully 75 per cent of the first estimate must be reduced. It is now believed that the vintage this year will not exceed 6,000,000 gallons. Mrs. Sam Dugan, wife of a farmer of Georgetown, O., had an experience with a huge blacksnake that she will not soon, if ever, forget. For several mornings past on awakening her feet felt ice, as if something cold had been laid against them, but as upon investigation she found nothing the matter, it was dismissed from her mind. One morning last week, however, the circumstance was indelibly impressed upon her memory. Upon turning the mattress in making the bed she was horrified to discover an immense blacksnake coiled up on the springs. She hastily summoned her husband, who appeared armed with a club ready for the fray. The snake showed fight, and a terrific struggle ensued. Mr. Dugan was finally victorious. The snake measured five feet in length. Mrs. Jessie La Rue of Oakland advises all married women who doubt their husbands to buy a bicycle. Mrs. La Rue horsewhipped her husband one day last week, and a bicycle was the immediate cause of his chastisement. La Rue caught the bicycle craze some time ago and bought a wheel. He went riding every evening, leaving his wife at home. Finally, unknown to her husband, Mrs. La Rue also bought a wheel, and followed him on his evening excursions. La Rue was a speedy man, but when his wife was on her "bike" he could not get out of her sight. She kept close enough to interrupt several interesting scenes with other women, and finally when she became convinced that her husband was unfathiful, she horsewhipped him. Next time she says she will attempt to murder his wife Monday morning last, were in progress Tuesday afternoon, two men among the spectators attempted to seize a pocketbook from Miss Bessie Haser, a niece of the dead man. The action of the men was noticed by Policeman Rank, who was attending the funeral in citizen's clothes, and he immediately gave chase to the men, both of whom made a dash for the doorway, nearly overturning the casket. It was sometime before order could be restored sufficiently to allow the services to proceed. Both men gained the street and gave Rank a hot chase for several blocks before that officer succeeded in placing them under arrest, which he did after he had fired four shots at them as they ran. All advices from Cuba go to show that the sugar crop of the island will be this year the smallest for many years. In a report on this subject to the State Department at Washington, United States Consul Baker says: "The sugar crop of 1894-95, having been marketed, leaves no doubt of a material decrease from the yield of the previous year. This, together with the very low price realized by the planters, leaves the sugargrowers of Cuba in a helpless condition. They now frankly admit that they will not be able to secure loans with which to make the coming crop, which means that not exceeding one-half the usual acreage in new cane has been planted, and a corresponding neglect in the gleaning of the present crop. In truth the condition of the planters of this island is distressing; and the end is not yet, for when it is recalled that fully one-third of the inhabitants depend on the plantations for employment and a living, and that the owners thereof can not obtain money to engage their labor, actual suffering must ensue." William Pierce was instantly killed and Louis Anderson and Ruth Hart, the latter 6 years old, were seriously injured in a peculiar manner in Evanston Ill. Tuesday night's storm dismantled nearly all of the electric light poles in Evanston and the wires fell everywhere. Yesterday most of them were replaced, but one which had fallen across an iron fence was overlooked. The two men were devouring ice at the point where the wire was left, and while Anderson was going into the yard Pierce sat down on the tence to rest. His hands and clothing were wet and the instant he touched the fence he fell across it dead. Anderson went to his assistance, and in attempting to lift San Francisco, saying he was tired of her her to look after herself hereafter, that he had disposed of all of his pronouncement Oaklanda.

County Auditor Diss of San Bernardino has called for a legal opinion of the District Attorney as to whether he shall draw a warrant for unpaid interest on $20,000 bonds of the Needles school district. Interest on the bonds amount to $1,600 per annum; $1,100 of this is assessed to the Santa Fe railroad, which since the year 1891 it has refused to pay in consequence of which there is no money to pay the interest on the bonds. In 1892 Judge Campbell of the Superior Court issued a temporary injunction restraining a deed from being issued to the company's property after that sale for delinquent taxes. There the matter reats and no final determination has been reached. The County Auditor now wants to know how he is to honor interest coupons when due without money. Charles Bird, colored, was married to a young colored woman in the employ of Mrs. Star, who lives in Los Angeles, the other day. Everything was arranged that the newly married couple should spend their first night at the residence of Mrs. Star. They were given one of the best rooms in the house, and retired early. About 4 o'clock next morning the inmates of the house were awakened by the calls for help, emanating from the room of the newly married couple. The door was forced when the husband was found rolling upon the floor and the bride was lying unconscious under the bed. It took but a moment to ascertain that upon retiring they had blown out the gas. Physicians were summoned, and after working several hours both bride and groom were resuscitated. As a result of too much pay-day exhilaration Charles Darling and wife indulged in a public set-to at San Bernardino the other evening. Mr. Darling is employed as a boiler maker in the Santa Fe shops, and after drawing his pay hired a surrey, and in company with his wife drove around the city until about 5 o'clock in the evening when he resigned the rig to Mrs. Barnes. The pace became too slow for that lady as she was driving up Third street, so she lashed the horses with the lines and then threw them at the terrified animals, and as a result the runaway was a very lively one. The animals were finally stopped by an employee of the stables, climbed in the rear of the surrey. When the accident was reported to Mr. Darling he said that he would find the lady and "kick her head off," and at once started on a hunt. Had it not been for the interference of passers by the programme would doublesess have been carried out to the letter. Owing to the pleadings of Mrs. Barnes no arrests were made. A terrible tragedy took place in the little town of Pleasanton, Neb. Some time ago the wife of Joseph Wickman secured a divorce from him, being unable to stand treatment to which she had been subjected. He brooded over the matter, and frequently, when under the influence of liquor, made threats against her life. One night last week he drank until he became crazy drunk. He armed himself with a revolver and went to seek his divorced wife. When he found her he at once opened fire, and she started to run, but had gone only a few steps when she fell to the ground, dead, with a bullet through her brain. A neighbor who witnessed the shooting started toward Wickman, but the latter began firing at him and thinking it was covert.

In 1892 Judge Campbell of the Superior Court issued a temporary injunction restraining a deed from being issued to the company's property after that sale for delinquent taxes. There the matter reats and no final determination has been reached. The County Auditor now wants to know how he is to honor interest coupons when due without money. Charles Bird, colored, was married to a young colored woman in the employ of Mrs. Star, who lives in Los Angeles, the other day. Everything was arranged that the newly married couple should spend their first night at the residence of Mrs. Star. They were given one of the best rooms in the house, and retired early. About 4 o'clock next morning the inmates of the house were awakened by the calls for help, emanating from the room of the newly married couple. The door was forced when the husband was found rolling upon the floor and the bride was lying unconscious under the bed. It took but a moment to ascertain that upon retiring they had blown out the gas. Physicians were summoned, and after working several hours both bride and groom were resuscitated. As a result of too much pay-day exhilaration Charles Darling and wife indulged in a public set-to at San Bernardino the other evening. Mr. Darling is employed as a boiler maker in the Santa Fe shops, and after drawing his pay hired a surrey, and in company with his wife drove around the city until about 5 o'clock in the evening when he resigned the rig to Mrs. Barnes. The pace became too slow for that lady as she was driving up Third street, so she lashed the horses with the lines and then threw them at the terrified animals, and as a result the runaway was a very lively one. The animals were finally stopped by an employee of the stables, climbed in the rear of the surrey. When the accident was reported to Mr. Darling he said that he would find the lady and "kick her head off," and at once started on a hunt. Had it not been for the interference of passers by the programme would doublesess have been carried out to the letter. Owing to the pleadings of Mrs. Barnes no arrests were made.

THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE THREE from the actual butcheries from time occurring, the most painful of the Armenian situation is that of men. One cannot investigate this subject without feelings of horror result and outrages to which these sares are subjected. In hundreds of there is hardly one woman who is time to time made the victim of the Kurds and Turks. In all the Armenia the Christian women freely at the merge of their Kurdish neighbors. This is not the case larger cities because the large Armorization is itself a protection to them, but in the villages where the are in the minority protection is due, and the women are at the book any Turk of Kurd who happens fancy to them. Moreover, this things is said to be well known to both government. It is the custom government to sell to the highest tax privilege of the various villagers purchaser having the right to collect the taxes from the people. In the number of young women in a great deal to do with the price tax privilege. When the public use of the tax privilege it is no uniting for the auctioneer to call out market place, so that all may hear, they girls are available in the village. Man has purchased the tax privilege he considers that he has also paid for the women of the village, exempt on the part of the husbands, fathers to resent this interpretation law is looked upon as high treason, with death. If the men object treatment of their women, they are driven out from the villages, and cases killed. The tax purchaser is take an extra profit out of his vilting out to his friends among the Kurds the privilege of making use men as he does not want for him. A terrible tragedy took place in the little town of Pleasanton, Neb. Some time ago the wife of Joseph Wickman secured a divorce from him, being unable to stand the treatment to which she had been subjected. He brooded over the matter, and frequently, when under the influence of liquor, made threats against her life. One night last week he drank until he became crazy drunk. He armed himself with a revolver and went to seek his divorced wife. When he found her he at once opened fire, and she started to run, but had gone only a few steps when she fell to the ground, dead, with a bullet through her brain. A neighbor who witnessed the shooting started toward Wickman, but the latter began firing at him and shot him in the arm. Then Wickman ran for the brush, into which he disappeared. The wounded man called for assistance and soon a large number of men were in pursuit of the murderer. They approached the brush where he had last been seen with caution, expecting every minute to have him fire. But they were unmolested, and when they reached the place they understood the cause of his silence, for he lay dead with his throat cut from ear to ear. Arthur Van Dusen, the hero of the Alta mine disaster in 1882, died at St. Mary's Hospital in Virginia City, Nev., of miner's consumption, after a prolonged illness. On May 31, 1882, seven men were entombed alive in a drift on the 2150 foot level of the Alta mine through the burrowing of a bulkhead, which flooded the lower levels of the mine with hot water. The place was 1,400 feet from the shaft and only hope of rescue them alive was to force compressed air from the surface into the drift and keep the pumps and baling-tanks running at their highest speed to hold the water in check. The end of the drift where the imprisoned men were located was fourteen feet above the 2150-foot level and the water rose to a height of two feet above the level. On the second day it was lowered sufficiently to admit of sending in a boat prepared for the purpose, and Denis Callahan and William Bennett lost their lives in an attempt to reach the imprisoned men by that means. Their bodies were afterward found with the flesh partly cooked. Two other men attempted to reach them on the following day, but finding the airpipe broken, returned to the surface nearly exhausted. At midnight on June 2, Van Dusen, equipped with a helmet filled with ice, succeeded in reaching the imprisoned men by wading through water showing a temperature of 120 deg., and found them alive, nearly famished with hunger and suffering with christ. They were soon afterward rescued from their living tomb, where they had been over eighty hours, by men from every mine on Comstock, led by the fearless Van Dusen. The news of the rescue caused great excitement and was announced by the ringing of bells, blowing of steam whistles and tiring of guns. Van Dusen refused to accept any reward for his heroic action and continued working in the Alta mine until his health failed about a year ago. He was of a modest bearing and always refused to talk of his share in the rescue. While the funeral services over the remains of Peter Haser, the Chicago suicide, the casket was opened for a final view of the remains just before the lowering into the grave several friends noticed that the countenance was flushed and lifelike. There was a good deal of color in the face and the hands felt warm. The more they thought about it more the young lady's friends became convinced that if she were buried then she would be buried alive. Finally a member of the family protested against the burial taking place and the body was returned to the house. A physician was summoned, who pronounced the young woman dead, and after watching the remains all night for signs of returning life the body was buried. The reason the physician gave for the lifelike appearance of the corpse was that the corrosive sublimate in the rough on rats tended to prevent coagulation of the blood after death, which gave a rosy, lifelike glow to the face. The warmth of the body he ascribed to the ride of two miles in the hearse, whose glass sides concentrated the rays of the sun. A boiler attached to the threshing outfit operated by J. Goldman exploded at the Blankenship ranch, ten miles from Tulare, last Wednesday morning, instantly killing two men, fatally wounding one and seriously wounding several others. It was custom of the threshing crew to suspend work at 9 o'clock in the morning for a lunch, which, on this occasion had been set in the shade of the water tank near the engine, and it was while the crew were gathered there that the explosion occurred. Engineer Street Cornish was on top of the boiler, making some repairs, and Walter Carlton, owner of the crop upon which they were at work, was engaged in putting straw into the fire box. R.E.Reno, who was standing near, was thrown to the ground and arose in time to see Cornish's body falling. Reno ran to Cornish, who cried: "Help me up," gasped and died immediately. Clarence Towrey, eighteen years of age, though not a member of the crew, was standing in the rear of the engine, looking on, and received full force of the explosion, being hit by the flying fragments. He was instantly killed. The boiler had been condemned two years ago, but was repaired for this season's run. The steam gauge was defective, registering only to 120, thus making it impossible to tell how high the pressure might be beyond that point. Many theories as to the cause of the explosion are advanced. Henry Evans, the regular fireman, quit that morning, and Walter Carlton was working in that capacity as relief, though he was not experienced in that line. He was last seen stuffing straw into the fire box when the gauge stood at 120, the machine not running. The engine was demolished and scattered over the surrounding fields. Among the numerous persons who have been cured of rheumatism by Chamberlain's Pain Balm, mention should be made of Mrs. Emily Thorne or Toledo, Wash., who says: "I have never been able to procure any medicine that would relieve me of rheumatism like Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I have also used it for lame back with great success. It is best liniment I have ever used, and I take pleasure in recommending it to my friends." For sale by Derge.
