CRAZY KING LOUIS
His Part in the Pitiful Tragedy
at Lake Stranberg.
SLEW HtS FRIEND AND DIED.
fhe Mad Bavarian Monarch Beat
Faithful Dr. von Guddtn to Daath
Before Heart Disease Stopped Hia
Own Oath For Liberty.
For mouths preceding the tragedy
on June 13. 1S86, that ended his life
King Louis II. of Bavaria had re
vealed many unmistakable signs of
mental derangement. He heard mys
terious voices in the air around him
and believed that he was constantly
pursued by dangerous enemies. lie
withdrew entirely from the world, his
cabinet ministers were unable to ob
tain access to him. and his domestic
servants were forbidden to look at his
face. Iieiug compelled to approach him
wiih averted eyes. The old valet
Meier was obliged to don a mask to J
cover his features whenever he went
near the king, and many other strange
things happened at the magnificent
palace which Louis had built for him
self with reckless extravagance.
^ caring his crown and purple royal
mantle, with the scepter of sovereign
ly In his hand. King Louis would wan
der through the rooms of his castles ?
at night, conversing with Imaginary I
guests, for the most part with the
ghosts of King Louis XIV. of France
and Queen Marie Antoinette. Fre
quently places were laid at his table
for their disembodied spirits.
The king's debts brought matters to
a crisis and necessitated the interven
tion of the Bavarian government. Most '
of the royal liabilities had been con I
tracted through the construction and
decoration of the famous three castles,
and several creditors threatened to in
itiate proceedings to recover their
money. King Louis requested the gov
ernment to introduce a bill in the Ba
varian legislature granting his prop
erty Immunity from seizure for debts,
and when his ministers refused this
unreasonable demand he tried to bor
row money from all sorts and condi
tions of people.
In April, IS.S6, the Bavarian chamber
refused to sanction the payment of the
king's debts from the public treasury,
and a few days later the cabinet ad
dressed a respectful petition to Louis
to curtail his expenditures. King Louis
responded by dismissing the whole
cabinet and nominating a new minis
try, at the head of which he placed his
own barber.
This irres(>onslble act brought mat
ters to a head. A commission of med
ical experts, under the presidency of
Dr. von Gudden. pronounced the king
to be incurably insane and incapable
of ruling, and a deputation unJer i
Baron von Craiisheim was dispatched
from Munich to the castle where Louis
was in residence to inform his majesty
of his dethronement. The king hail
Baron von Craiisheim and all the
members of the deputation arrested.
Then Dr. von Gudden proceeded to
Xeuschwansteln castle, where to all
outward appearances he succeeded In
persuading the king to submit to his
dethronement and to retire to Berg
castle, near the shores of Lake Stan !
berg, where the final tragedy was en- '
acted. The king was escorted to Berg
castle by Dr. von Gudden. another
medical man. Dr. Mueller, and several
trained attendants, and he seemed to
acquiesce in the arrangement that he
should remain there for a year under
close supervision.
Dr. von Gudden. misled by appear- ;
ances, telegraphed to Munich that his i
royal patient was "as obedient as a '
child." and at dinner that evening he
promised to take the king for a walk
in the |?ark. Mis assistant. Dr. Muel
ler, warned him that it would be
dangerous to go alone with the king
and urged him to allow an attendant
to accompany them, or at least to fol
low them at a discreet distance, but
Dr. von Gudden disregarded the young
er man's advice and paid the i>enalty
with his life. It was a Sunday even
tag. and a general feeling of uneasi
ness prevailed among those who bad
remained at the castle when the king
and Dr. von Gudden failed to reap
I>ear after an hour bad elapsed. Search
parties were organized, and during the
night one of the royal footmen found
the king's hat. coat and overcoat close ;
to the bank of the lake and Dr. von
Gudden's umbrella close by on the
ground The bodies of the king and j
his physician were found not far from
the shore of the lake, In shallow wa
ter. both heads projecting above the
surface. I)r. von Gudden's face and
head Ixire the marks of heavy blows
which the king, a man of immensely
powerful build, had showered upon
him.
The position of the bodies and the
articles of clothing found near them !
made it possible to surmise, with prob I
able accuracy, the details of the trage
dy. It Is likely that the king intended
to escape from his prison- for as such
he regarded the castle in which he
was kept as a madman? and that hf
divested himself of overcoat and coat
to swim across the lake. Dr. von Gud
den. it appears, closed with him at the
water's edge and tried to prevent his i
flight, but the king killed him and died
from heart disease at the moment
when he was on the point of begin
ning his swim for liberty. The post- 1
mortem examination revealed that '
neither had died from drowning, but
the kinc from heart failure and Dr
von Gudden from the Injuries inflicted

A Woman Finds All Her Energy And
Ambition Slipping Away;
Alaskan women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fall make life a burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles, all '
tell of sick kidneys and warn you of
the stealthy approach of dropsy or
IJright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
are for the kidneys only. They at
tack kidney diseases by striking at i
the cause.
Can Alaskan sufferers desire strong
er proof than this woman's word?
Mrs. Henry Rankos, 502 Vancouver
Ave., Portland, Ore., says: "It gives
me pleasure to confirm my former
public endorsement of Doan's Kidney
Pills given in October, 1907. At that
time I said that a member of my fain
ily was troubled by attackB of back
ache which prevented stooping or
lifting. Doan's Kidney Pi-lie disposed
of the trouble In a short time. Since
then I have taken this remedy for j
weakness and pain across my kidneys
and it has greatly benefitted me."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local application*, as they cusot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
Tbere Is only one way to cure deaf
cess, and that la by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and um
eiss the inflammation t-3 taken
out and this tube restored to Ks nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
