PROHIBITION STATE AXO NATIONAL TICKET. The people throughout the State are not aware that the Prohibition party has both a State and Electoral ticket in the field. The Electoral ticket is headed by W. M. White, of Gaston, and F.' P. Johnson, of Rowun. - Edwin Shaves, of Rowan, and J. C. Clapp, of Catawba, are the electors for the Eighth and Xiuth districts, respectively. The following is the ^State ticket: For Governor, Dr, J. M. Templeton, of Wuke; for Lientenanc Governor, T. M. George, of Surry; for Seere- tar'j of State, A. C. Sherrill, of Catawba; for StateTreasurerlJohn A. Baily; Rowan; for State Audi­ tor, J. A. Blair, of Randolph, for Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion, F. S. Blair, of Guilford; foi Commissioaer of Agricultnre, F. B. Iugold, of Catawba. It will be seen from the above that Elkin is hon­ ored with the nomination for Lieu tenant Governor in the person of I1. Millaid George, editor of the ElkinTimes.. It does not appear that there is any nomination for Corporation Commissioner. Who pays the Chief of Police of Mocksyille to go around and tear down cartoons of Democrats and leave, up those of Republicans—' both posted on same tree or post t If Mr, T. B. Baileyj tl»e Demo- craticcandidatefor the LegiBlatuie, should be elected, will he ask tor the repeal of. tne acts of the Demo­ cratic Legislature incorporating the Glenn.

Co. The KepublIcatisofDavie Couuty have nominated good and sober ineu tor office—-just as sober and temperate as the Democrats. The temperance question, however, does not enter into this campaign, and should'iot be dragged in If yon happen to be a Prohibitionist, vote that ticket. TIIAT LKTTEtt- A circular letter signed by sev­ eral ministers of Davie county was handed us for publication. One of the preachers who signed it did not even know the name of the Prohibition candidate for Governor, and we naturally presume that he expects to vote against all the Pro­ hibition candidates, from !’resident down. We are opposed to sump tuary legislation, and firmly believe in leaving these matters to a vote of the people. If still houses are'bad things in the country, they are equally bad in the towns, and we can see no reason why our country people should not be allowed to vote upon the question as well as the people of -the towns. We are of the opinion that the country peo. pie are as gamble of voting intelli­ gently on matters affectmg their rights and wants as our towns­ people. We are firmlv convinced that the Watts Bill is a Democratic ineaanre having for its object the absolute eomxol of the manufacture and sale of whiskey 111 Democratic towns, for every intelligent man knows that everv town in the State is Democratic and the country is generally Republican.. If our preacher friends are sincere m thetr contention, le: them proceed under the powers given them under the law, and hold elections, separate and distinct from general elections, and vote the distilleries and bar­ rooms out of the towns, and then North Carolina will be a Prohi- IivtUm State. Let them vote the !’inhibition ticket, from President down, and \ve sinners will then litiow they are shooting as. they On our return from the Reynolds- Kitchen debate, a Forsyth county Demociat told us that he would this time vote the Republican tic ket, although hitherto he had never voted any other than the Democra­ tic ticket. We wonder if it was Kitchen converted him ! H e was not the only Democrat 0 9.the train, chat told us the same, thing. OUtt CODNrv CANDIDATES. J. L. SHEEK, T Jie Republican candidate for Sher­ iff, is now serving hw third term. No county lia? a better or more faithful 0 nicer. J .F . MOORE, Our candidate- for Register of Deeds, is-serving his first term. He is ati efficient and most accom­ modating officer. . - J. \V, ETCHISOX, Candidate for County Treasurer, is well known to all our people. The people know that “ Honest John” will- handle their money all right, with no danger of a shortage, -while he is Treasurer. J. W. BAILEY, Our candidate for Coroner, needs uo word of commendation from us. Everybody knows him to be faith­ ful to every trust. M. C. LJAMES, . Candidate for Surveyor, is one of Davie’s best farmers and .citizens, You can depend 011 “ Cass” Ijames to do his duty faithfully. W. A. B AILEY1 AV. F. FUliCHES ami j. M. CAIN, Oar candidates for Commissioners, are the old wheel horses, tried'and true. While they levy our taxes and expend our money, no extra- vagance need bo apprehended. We predict the election of all of these gentlemon, and by in­ creased majorities. Claude Kitcheu’s speech, as re­ ported in the Post of the 30th, is the dirtiest, vilest, and most in­ decent speech so far made in the State, and he holds a seat in Con­ gress, and is, in our opinion, a dis­ grace to the people ho represents. Xorth Carolina will never take its proper place iii this Union until it sits down hard upon such dirty- monthed blackguards. - HON. C. J. HARRIS. The Hon. C. J. Harris, Republi­ can candidate for Governor, and the Hon. Thos. Settle, spoke to a large and enthusiastic crowd in the Court House, last Thnrsday. Mr. Settle was unwell, and made, but a short though pointed talk. Mr. Harris made a fine impression upon our people. He is a plain business man. and made a straightforward, business like speech. The State will honor itself in his election as ehief magistrate. OUR “PORT ARTHUR.” There ought to be a bond of sympathy between American Dem­ ocrats and Japanese attacking Port Arthur. Both are brave in man­ ning attack after attack, eveu though they meet repuise afUr re­ pulse. Both lose men and sup­ porters every time they attack Iut there flic simile ends. In the motives for attack there is no sim­ ilarity. The Japaueje moti.-e is to ■Je«troy the grasping greed of des Lotic Russia, which only curses the people it falsely claim-; Io pro­ ject. The Democratic motive is to destroy the pnttiulio j-.rotcc'.ion of the protective tariff, which only blesses Ihe people over whom floats the banner of pn sperily. The pro­ tective tariffisour ‘‘Port Arthur."’ It will not fall till the last pound of powder has been used, the gun fired, and the IaRt one of its brave defenders lies dead on itsramparls. While it stands, this citadel —protecting American industries and American labor—the worlcand wages of the American toiler are as secure as the rock of Gibraltar. Should it fall, the suffering of the Aniericaii toiler and those dear fo- him, would be more grievous tliam are the sufferings to-day of the peaceful Manchurians, tinder Ihe cruel and selfish graSp Cl Russia. Port Arthur of the- East will eventually fall, but our “ Port-Ar­ thur” will never fall. Its defend - ing commander is General Theo­ dore Roosevelt, Whosei flag bears the inscription, “At all hazards, the wages of the workingman imiat be protected.” : , A V altbr J. B a lla r d . UOOOLU as, Hoodlumism has not yet been stamped out in Winston. The at­ tempt of some to discredit Gover­ nor Reynold’s work for the govern­ ment Imi Id ing shows that ingrati­ tude is still a virtue in tl’e estima­ tion of a few. The article appear­ ing in the Journal of the 29th nit., attempting to reilect upon and nri- ;pngn Mr. Reynold’s motives, is 6) the baser sort. Thenatioiial admin­ istration at Washington is under 110 obligations to me ; who despise and abuse the Government. The im­ ported editor of the Journal, trans­ planted lroni Ben Tillman’s oli­ garchy, can’t fool onr people by his vile abuse of Charles Rej nolds. Until the good people put t!ie hoodlums down and repudiate such Htlacks upon its best citizenship, it islnot to be expected they will .have many friends disposed to aid them in the honr of need. .

Kitchen and Mr. C. A. Rey­ nolds) at AVinston, on the 28th, was listened to by a large crowd. It was, in the main, fair on both sides, Mr. Kitchen only once at­ tempted to misrepresent Mr. Rey­ nolds. The Governor was equal to tne occasion, and Mr. Kitchen failed to answer or explain away the strong points made for the Re­ publican side. Mr. Kitchen made the cleauest Democratic speech we have heard during the campaign. The friends of Mr. Reynolds were not in the least disappointed 111 him. and we sincerely hope he will be elected.

HAY ISSUES A CIRCULAR NOTE president’s Promise to the Peace Con­ gress at St. Louis Redeemed - Through the Secretary of Stater Who Says That the International Conference of 1899 Left Various Matters For a Future Conference— Progress of the Russo-Japanese War No Obstacle, Inasmuch as the Unit­ ed States and Spain Had Not Con­ cluded Peace on the Prior Occasion. Btr I1S«; f I n • t ILr IC i ft J Washington, Special.—In a circular note. Secretary Hay has carried cut the president’s instructions relative to proposing a second Hague conference. The note not onty contemplates the re-, assembling of the Hague conference for the consideration of the questions specificaHy mentioned by the original conference, as demanding further at­ tention, such as the rights and duties . of neutrals, the lnfiolahilfty of private property in naval warfare and the bombardment of ports by naval forces, hut goes on further by practically en­ dorsing the project of a general sys­ tem of arbitration treaties. The issue of sS3ie call while the pres­ ent war is in progress is justified by the fact that the first Hague confer­ ence was called before our treaty of peace with Spain was concluded. Mn Hay’s letter says that the Hague conference of 1899 marked an epoch in the history of nations and that a great *work was -accomplished, although eer- tain phrases of the general subject ■were left for a future conference. The letter ascribes to the Inter-Parlimen- tary Union considerable credit for pre­ paring the nations for the conference, and says that this union at St. Louis recently requested the president to call a second conference of the Hague. It adds; “In accepting this trust, the presi­ dent was aaot unmindful of the Iaett so vividly brought home to all the %orld, that a great war is now in pro­gress. He re-called the circumstanes at the time when, on August 24. 1898, bis majesty, the Emperor of Russia, sent forth his invitation to the nations to meet in the interests of peace, the United States and Spain had merely halted in their struggle to devise means of peace.“While at the present moment an armistice between the parties now con­tending is in sight, the fact of an ex­ isting war is no reason why the na­tions should relax the efforts they have so Successfully made hitherto toward the adoption of rules of conduct which may make more remote the ehanees for future wars between them. In 3899, the conference of the Hagne dealt solely with the larger problems which confronted all nations, and as­ sumed no function of intervention or suggestion in the settlement of the terms of peace between the United States and Spain. It might be the same with a ro-assembled conference at the present time. Its efforts would naturally lie in tbe direction of further codification of the universal Ideas of right and justice, -which we call inter­ national law; its mission would be to give them future effect. “The president directs that you will bring the foregoing considerations to the attention of the minister of for­eign affairs of the government to •wliidh you are accredited and, in dis­ creet conference with him, ascertain to ■what extent that government is dis­posed to act irt the matter. “Should his excellency invite sugges­ tion as to the character of questions to be brought before the proposed second peace conference, you may say to him that, at this time it would seem premature to couple the tentative invi­tation tthus extended with a categorical programme of subjects of discussion. It is only by comparison of views that a. general accord can be reached as to the matters to be considered by the new conference. . It is desired that in the formulation of a programme the distinction should be lcept clear be­ tween the matters which belong to the province of international law and those which are inconventional as be- . tween individual governments. Among the broader general questions affect- ,/ ing the right and justice of the rela­tion. of soverign states.' which were then relegated, to a future conference •were: ' "The rigtS&ahd duties of neutrals; the inviolability of private /property- In naval warfare; and the bombard­ ment of ports, towns and villages by a naval force. The other matters men­ tioned in the final act take the form of suggestions for consideration by in­terested governments. “The three points mentioned cover a large field. The first, especially touch* ing the rights and duties of neutrals/ is of universal impportance. Its right­ ful disposition affects the interests and ■well-being of all the world. Tfie neu­tral is something more than an on­ looker. His act of ommiston'or com­ mission may have an influence—direct, hut * tangible—on a war actually in progress; whilst, on the other hand, lie ■ may suffer from »*the exigencies of the belligerents. It is this phase of ■warfare which deeply concerns the jWdrld at large. “Other matters closely affecting the rights of neutrals are the distinction to; be made between absolute and con­ ditional contraband of war, and the inviolability of the official and private correspondence of neutrals. “As f<£r the duties of neutrals toward the belligerent, the field is scarcely less broad. One aspect deserves mention, from the prominenece it has acquired during recent times; namely, the •treatment due to refugee belligerent ships in neutral ports." Shooting Affair at Danville. Danville, Ya., Special.—S. H. Buclia- fcan, a banker of Jonesboro, Ga., was shot in this city and is in a critical condition. He was in the room of Mrs. Wr T. White, at the latter’s home, at the time, ond she has been arrested, charged with the crime. She declares, however, that it was a c&se of attempt­ ed suicide. Buchanan is said to have a wife living in Georgia. Mrs. White says she knew Buchanan in Gedrgia fceforfc coming to Virginia. _ #. • QUIET BROKEN AT LAST Third General Attack Reported to Have Begun \a st Monday and Been Still in Progress at Last Accounts Wednesday—Russians* Only Smoke­ less Magazfne Exploded, Causing a FIre Which Spread Into the Town— Japanese Gain Rihlung Mountain. A third general attack on Port Ar­ thur is reported to have begun on October 24th, and to have been still in progress on the 26th. On the lat­ ter day tbe Russians’ only smokeless powder magazine was exploded, the fire spreading to the town and raging all through the day, Russian trenches on the slope of Rihlung Mountain were taken by the Japanese. In the vicinity of the Shake river there have been no developments of moment. Armies in Close Touch. Mukden, By Cable.—The attack by the Japanese on the Buddhist temple hill on October 27th, led to sharp fighting. The Japanese artillery played on the position from early in the morning, rendering the trenches untenable, shells and shrapnel sweep­ ing everything and demolishing all the shelters. Two machine guns with the battalion defending the hill were smashed and disabled, but the de­fendants carried off the remains of the guns when they were forced to re­tire. The Japanese infantry attack under cover of the bombardment was made in close order. There was des­ perate hand to hand fighting in the trenches, followed by a counter-attack with the bayonet The Japanese fin­ ally gained the Iiitlj but were unable to hold it in the face of the deadly Russian artillery fire.There has been a number of skir­ mishes along the whole front, but no development of any serious import has yet appeared, though the armies are in the closest touch and a gener­al engagement may be precipitated at any time. At one point the trench­ es are only four hundred yards apart. They are separated by a small stream, which is the only water sup­ply in the neighborhood. By mutual consent there is no fir­ ing on the water carriers, who visit the stream with buckets. Several. positions have already changed hands many times. It is re­ lated that in one village, which had been taken and retaken by the same men on both sides, Captain Polkanoff, on being driven out one day, left a note in the hut where he bad passed the night, saying he would like to Imow the name of the Japanese offi­ cer who was in the habit of occupy­ ing the1 hut in his absence. A Jittie later Captain Polkanoff retook the vil­ lage, and going through his old quar­ ters, found the following note in pep feet Russian: 4I am Captain Yamata. I would bo greatly pleased to make Captain Polk- anofTs acquaintance." There is unusual quiet along the whole front. The Russians are in the habit of harassing the Japanese at night. Last night Russian scouts threw a hand grenade into a Japanese trench near Sinchinpu, causing great confusion. The Russian scouts also discovered that the Japanese are mov­ ing many batteries to the front, though as* yet all have been caretty masked. Will Not Be Removed.Vigo, Spain, By Cable—Inquiries here fail to obtain the slightest confirma­ tion of the report published in the Uni­ ted States that Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky has requested Emperor Nicho­las to relieve him of his command. The Russian consul general here said to the Associated Press that he was not aware that there any question of replacing the admiral and that he did not be­ lieve such a proposition had ever been raised. It is believed the international inves­ tigation here of the North Sea incident has begun. . The British cruiser Lan­ caster, which was here for some time yesterday, and departed in the evening after her commander. had conferred with Vice Admiral Rojetvensky on board the Russian flagship Knaiz Sou- varoff, returned', today, and there was another conference between British and Russian naval comanders on board the flagship of the latter. Subsequently, the Lancaster sailed • for Villagariera, where it is supposed the British chan- uel fleet has assembled. There are five British warships cruis­ ing off Vigo, evidently watching the Russian vessels "here. The Spanish Foreign office has given out a statement to the effect that Rus­sia has asked Spain’s permission for the ships Qf Admiral Rojestvensky’s squadron to remain in Vigo until the investigation of the North gea affair shall have been concluded. Spain, ac­ cording to the official statement, con­ sulted with the representatives of the several powers, who gave their appro­ val. The authorization, ... .however, ap­ plies only to Russian vessels now at Virgo. . ... NEW YOBK SUBiy OPEN™ FLEET AT IO Garttemalan Ant No Failure. Houston, Texas, Special.—Dr. B. T.

The Mayor started i e first train with a silver controller bar- Invited guests of the Iuterborough Company swarmed after a brief interval into trains behind and rode around seeing the sights all afternoon. After au in* tctcval of five hours or so for this spe­ cial guest sightseeing, the public was admitted at a nickel a head, as it will now be always. Xiue miles of steel framed tunnel, four-tracked for the greater part of the way, and equipped with every known device for safety, ’ comfort and speed, comprise the open section of the sub* way. Within a few weeks the Bast Side branch, diverging from the main line at Ninety-sixth street* and running under Central Park aud up Lenox ave­ nue to 143th street, will be ready for business. By this time next year it is confident­ ly expected that the road will be built to Inwood ou tbe West Side and Bronx Park on the East, and tbe new tunnel from the City Hall to Brooklyn will be' in complete working order. The opening ceremouies began in the City Hall in the AIdermanic chamber at I o’clock p. m. Bishop Greer offered a prayer, and Mr. Fornes introduced the Mayor as the chairman of the meeting. The Mayor told of the progress of rapid transit in New York. Mr. William Barclay Parsons, the chief engineer, who designed the road, officially declared it to be completed. President Orr, of the Rapid Transit Commission, next spoke. John H. Starin, Vice-President of the Bapid Transit Commission, made an­ other speech. Aud then came John B. McDonald, the man who built the subway, and he proved to be easily the hero of the day. August Belmont, who was largely re­ sponsible for the financial end of the enterprise, followed Mr. McDonald. That closed the oratorical part of the program. When Mr. Belmont had finished the Mayor arose and said: “I now declare the subway open.” A roar of applause went up from the audience. Mr. Belmont stepped for­ward with a black box in his hands. In it reposed a silver lever.. “Mr. Mayor," he said, “it gires me great pleasure to present to yon this controller, and with. it I ask you to start the first train.” The Mayor took the hox with a smile of thanks. Archbishop Farley pro­ nounced the beucdietion to close the meeting, aud the procession marched out of the City Hall through a cross fire of clicking cameras to take the first official journey iu the newly opened road. The special train in which the spe­ cially bidden were carried up to 145th street and bask for what was officially called an “official inspection” of the property, w^as run in three sections, eight cars to a section, each car having seating capacity for fifty-two persons. It was notable that there was “stand­ing room only” in the first section. The Mayor himself was tbe motor- man of the first section. BURNED IN ENGIrfE CAB.

The engine cab, express car and smoking car were drenched with the oil, which took fire at once from the engine. The engineer and firemen were penned in the locomotive, and, being covered with oil, were burned to death. % The engine had been reversed at once and soon stopped. The passengers and other members of the train crew es­ caped from the .cars at great peril. The driver and horses of the oil outfit were uninjured. FIRE STAMPEDE IN CHICAGO.

Admiral Rojestvenskv Arrives in the Spanish Port to Coala MISTAKE WAS UNAVOIDABLE After ProtesMnsr That His Ships Needl­ ed ltepaira the Busslan Commander Was Finally Allowed to Anclior-R^ ceives and Sends Messaces in Cipher TlirousrTi the Kassian Consul* Vigo, Spain.—The Russian battle­ ships Borodino, Imperator, Alexander ILi Q'«l and Kuiaz Suvaroff, Admiral Rojestvensky’s flagship, and the trans­ port Arnadul have anchored in the har­ bor. -? r . i - Immediately after the arrival of the Russian warships, the port command­ ant boarded the Kniaz SuvaroS and told the admiral that the Spanish Government had instructed him not to allow the fleet to embark stores here. The admiral answered: “The machinery of some of our ships is damaged. That is why I have sep­ arated from the squadron. I do not know how long it will take to repair, but repairs are necessary, a\i<l I must anchor for this purpose.” The admiral stated that the unfor­tunate North Sea .occurrence was pure­ ly accidental. The weather the night in question was rather hazy. At about I a. m. two torpedo boats, which the .Russians supposed were Japanese craft, suddenly appeared between the two'divisions of the squadron and seemed to discharge torpedoes. The Russians immediately opened fire. They saw no fishermen, and were not aware that any damage had been done. Evidently, Jhe admiral said, the fish­ermen had show'll no lights. The commandant said he would ask his Government for instructions and again communicate with Admiral *Ro- jestvensky.The. Russian commander also protest­ ed against Spain's refusal to allow' his fleet to coal at Vigo. He said that if he could no coal he could not leave. After, the port commandant went ashore German colliers went alongside the warships preparatory to coaling them. The commandant thereupon sent a representative to repeat the Government’s orders and to request the Russians not to violate Spain's neutrality. He also reqxiested ' the Spanish cruiser Estremadura to send boats to notify the. colliers to observe the instructions of the Officei1S of the poet. The colliers, however, did* not' Jaaove. t . Presently Admiral Rojestvensky and the captains of the warships landed in uniform to pay a formal visit to the Military Governor, the port command­ ant and the French Consul. . Tbey 'were'received by a guard of honor and a military band. Presumably the com­ mandant, during his interview with tbe Rushans, prevailed over Admiral Ro­ jestvensky’s objections, for after the latter returned to his flagship he gave his word of honor to the command­ ant’s representative that he would not coal In Spanish waters, but at the same time he urged the Spanish Gov­ ernment be again asked to allow each Russian vessel to ship 400 tons of coal to enable them to reach Tangier. The Russian,Consul boarded the flag­ ship, taking dispatches for Admiral Rojestvensky. Admiral Rojestvensky immediately replied to three cipher dispatches that the Russian Consul delivered to him. The ivarships were cleared for ac­tion. The German steamer Pallas, which was with the fleet, carried ammuni­ tion as .well as coal. In addition to the warships in the harbor a score were outside.

The victim of the knife was L. A. Evans, and the man who did the stab­bing was Charles Thomas. Both are white. Thomas disappeared Immed­ iately after the fight, and succeeded in eluding a half-dozen police officers, who were searching the neighborhood for him. Sergeant Pitts finally took the matter in charge, and ’ captured Thomas on the dam at the new water works plant, probably two miles from tbe' scene of the affray. The knife penetrated Evans’ skull and the brain and the blade broke oft and was left in the wound. He was removed to the Piesbyterian Hospital and an opera­tion performed, which may save his life.

The Birthright of Twins. A curious case as to which of two twins was born first came before Lord Pearson in the Edinburgh Court of Sessions. TIiS. twins were John McJarrow, an engineer Virvan, and Charles Mc- Jarrow, a groS&T, of Glasgow. Their father had ■ ^ied intestate while John was in South Afrto*, leav­ ing £1,500 worth of property. CharJes had taken possession of this, claiming to be the elder son. * John, In giving his evidence, said that he was born on Aug. 24, 1867, at I o’clock in the morning and that his brother was born half an hour after­ ward. The births were registered as such. Charles, on the other hand, averred that the entries in the register were erroneous, and that his father recog* nized himself as his eldest son. Lord Pearson gave judgment for John, without costs.

London, Eng.—Danger of war be­ tween Russia and Great Britain is be­ lieved to have been averted. The set­ tlement of the only poiuts in dispute regarding the attack by the,Kiissiim Baltic squadron on Britisli trawlers has been referred to an international commission under The Hague Conven­ tion. Premier Balfour, speaking to an im­ mense gathering under the auspices of the National TJnWn of Conservative Clubs in Artillery Hall, Southampton, broke that long silence which had brought the people of the United King­ dom to a condition of almost desperate irritation, and had given rise to mis­ conceptions which Mi*. Balfour in his speech IiimseIf exposed. “The Russian Ambassador.” said Mr. Balfour, who began to speak at S p. in., after receiving a great ovation, ‘‘has authorized a statement to the fol­ lowing effect: The Russian Govern­ ment, on liearinsr of the North Sea in­ cident, at once* expressed its profound regret and also promised most liberal compensation. The Russian Govern­ ment has ordered the detention at Vigo of that part of the fleet which was con­ cerned in the incident, in order that the naval authorities may ascertain what offices were responsible for it. Those officers and any material witnesses will not proceed on the voyager to the Far East, and an inquiry will be instituted into the facts by an international com­ mission. as provided by The Hague Convention.” That, Mr. Balfour interpolated, had nothing to do with arbitration. It was the constitution of an international commission in order to find out the facts, .and any person found guilty would be tried and punished ade­ quately. He added that the Russian Government undertook that precau­ tions would be taken to guard against a ree&vrence of such incidents. Spe­ cial instructions on this subject would be issued.

It was preceded by a low* rumbling sound, resembling an earthquake,, .which made the earth tremble and startled the whole camp. “Out of the mouth of the tunnel and two air shafts came a great volume of smoke and dust, which- continued for' nearly a minute. Out of the two air shafts, each of which is seven feet in diameter, timbers that were fully two; or three feet in diameter were shot in to the air and broken into splinters.” ‘ The explosion, which * resembled a. volcanic eruption, caused the wildest excitement. Men, women and children rushed to the mouth of the tunnel, and women whose husbands were iu the mine had to be brought away by the miners to prevent their being killed by the deadly, fumes coming from the mouth of the tunnel. Hundreds of men endeavored to en ' ter the mine. The fumes overcame the rescuers frequently, but their, ,.places immediately were taken by, others ready to risk their lives. Only one body has been recovered, that of T. Duran, a driver, who wasj jnst entering the tunnel when the ex­ plosion occurred. He was torn and burned almost beyond recognition.

Ii this telegram Mr. P. congratulated the Rresideut on his election—by the way, the President says he considers it a re election. Now, that was a very early and somewhat graceful surrender, for a Democrat, but he evidently re­ garded that little matter also as “ irrevocably settled.” But the great avalanche of Ugures .which so bewildered Mr. IP., who was always very poor at “ Aggers,” has, be­ yond peradvemure “ irrevocably settled” several other things be­ sides the vanished hopes of Mr. P.

On Nov. S, the most memorable and the most flattering Election Day that any Chief'Magistrate of this country has ever experienced, Mr. Boosevelt performed an act which goes .to support us iu the position'we take. TVhen the Presi­ dent returned to Washington froin Oyster Bay, his coring residence, and just as soon as -the ietnrns indicated his electiou, he, without flourish of trumpets or any note of “ Buncome,” issued the following statement: “ I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing Jheir confidence in whal I have doueand have tried to-do., I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.

Oh, what, add oh, what will otfr ti-ieuds the enemy do with their “ paramount issue” of imperialism, in view of the President’s latest statement, given above? Wbat, indeed!.

Mr. Roosevelt is really very hard to get along-with, from a Democratic poiut ofpas be never can be depended upu i to do the wrong thing at the right time, but this last is worse than “ the blow that killed fayther.” Yet, despite the utter rout of the enemy, we have our regrets. However, the fiat has gone forth, and we bow to the inevitable, consoled with the ; knowledge that Sir.

W e should not fail- /to recogniza the tact that tliousands of brave and heroic men are living today who never bore arms on the bloody fields of battle, but whose cour­ age and brave deeds are just as praiseworthy as though won iu time of war, and we shonld not fail to recognize aud perpetuate them for the benefit of generations yet- unborn. J. II. Al. Deadmon, of Jerusalem township, desery-es to be congratulated • on his devotion to his- principles. He paid his poll tax in Davidsou county, and the Sheriff failed to sign his name to bis receipt, and on Tuesday he was challenged by a Democrat, and re­ fused the privilege and right to vote. But be did not give up, for he hitched his horse to the buggy and drove eighteen miles to Lex­ ington, and hunted up the Sheriff and got him tp sign his tax receipt, drove back to Jerusalem, and de­ posited his ballot.

Clarence Douglass, of Muskogee,- is poking fun. at Clark Moor’s ra­ dium water, and tells this story Receutiy a patient while shaving' himself sliced! off the end of his nose, and very naturally dropped the razor, which iu falling cut off one of his big toes. A local sur­ geon bandaged him -up, but in the excitement-of the moment bound the end of tihe toe to the nose wouud, and put the nose where tiie-toc ought to be. Tbe mistake was not discovered for three days, when tbe bandages were removed, and by that lime, thanks to the wonderful erifativc powers of the radium water, perfect unfon had taken place, add both wounds were found to be completely healed. The only inconvenience tbe patient n o w WB C ITCH A CO tt. A cold is sometimes contracted while remaiuing inactive for a while iu au uncomfortable room or a cold draft aud by falling to sleep nnder like conditions. But most colds are caught while sleeping too cold at uigbt. Deep sleep ci-uses sluggish circulation,which renders tbe system susceptible to chaugoof temperature. To preveut colds, sleep uuder plenty of cover. ' To cure colds use Rydale’s Elixir. It lessens the severity and shortens t heduration of a cold, and prevents Pneumonia. Bronchitis aud Con- umption.

North Carolina Town Swept by Waters From Dam. WALLDF STRUCTURE QjVES WAY V inePcrsous W ere Killed In the O nrush oftho W aters and Others W ere InJ ured w B ig Pond Formed in Centre ot the Town—Authorities Bur.v ttic Dead and Care For the Injured. ... ..., ___ Winston-Salem,>\ C.-~Toppling with * roai* tike Hte crack of doom on the handsome ilwelUug house of Martin Peeples, near the centre of this Tillage, at 5 o’clock iu the morning, the north ^ide of the big municipal waterworks reservoir.sinasked the building to splin­ ters and released S00,000 gallons of wa­ ter that surged iu a' tremendous wave over the heart of the residence section on that side of the city. Niue persons, seven of them women, were killed by the fall of the wall or drowned in the mighty outrush that followed it, and four were injured. The flood swept a path through ail that part of the vil­ lage. traveling more than half a mile to Belos Landing before it spent its fury on the plain. It scooped up liousc cifter house and carried them along at frightful speed, drowning the dwellers in several before they awoke. Four iioiucs were swept several liundrod yards from their foundations and ithrown in shapeless masses against the high ground that stopped them. It was iu the stillness of the hour be­ fore the OaAvn that the Jiand of death fcli on the? place—stiller than the dead of night, wlieu weary men were deep iu the last of their slumber aud none was awake iu the neighborhood to sound a warning cry. That a ,tumult „ of shouts' would have aroused the doomed in time to give them a chance for their lives is doubtful, though. One terrific note was sounded by the wall as it gave way under tiic strain of that vast , bulk of water it prisoned. Then followed the fearful roar of the water, the shrieks of the few who ’ awoke with moments left iu which to face lheir death, the grinding .of timbers, the swift beat of falling bricks on the prostrate sides of houses and iu a few minutes a mass of hu­ man and building wreckage was float­ ing on the-torrent that sped northeast toward the Southern Railway cut.Yet in the height of its fury the flood performed strange acts of seeming mercy. It killed or maimed more than a dozen, but it carried a negro named Davis and his .wife in their bed out of their ruined house for 5(H) yards with­ out harming a hair of their heads. The Davises wore asleep when the huge column of water struck their little home. Over went the tiny building, torn from its frail foundation, to which the floor still clung, so that the upper part of the house was an open shell. Tho bed righted itself iu Iho swirl with­ out throwing either of them off. Gasp­ing for breath after their sudden im­ mersion. they found themselves tossing on the torrent, their bed a boat. They flashed past unscathed dwelling houses clasped in each other’s arms, praying aloud iu momentary expectation of death. Suddenly as It had seized them the flood cast their bed upon a rub­ bish pile, and, safe after their agony of fear, they picked their way to firm­ er ground. “I cannot describe my experience When I was floating on the mad rush­ ing stream of water,” said L. D. Payne, a traveling salesman, of Green- boro, who was hurt too terribly even to be taken to a hospital. Others said they thought they were in the midst of an earthquake. It was not until they had been* in the water for at least a minute that they realized what had happened. Theu they recalled that the reservoir wall had been regarded as unsafe by many persons, . aud that there ha<j been a feeling the authori­ ties should remove it, particularly as the village had erected a standpipe from which an ample supply could be obtained. Cries broke from the sur­ vivors as they were borne away by the flood. By that time almost evervbodv in the unflooded parts of the village was engaged in the rescue work, which was organized by common action, and for upward of au hour was without di­rection. Mayor O. B. Eaton took charge of the work on his arrival. Arrangements for burial of the dead and care of the injured were made ear­ ly in the forenoon by the Board of Al­ dermen. The Board also directed an immediate search of an enornious pond made around the fallen wall bv the set­ tling of the water. It was feared other bodies might be found at the bottom.

A-recess of the court was taken for a few moments. When the mother returned she came forward to the baby, which began coo­ ing to both ;the parents, and five min­ utes later, with their arms around each other and the childl between them, they asked the Court to dismiss the case, and said they had agreed, for the child’s sake, to forget everything and live together In future.

The Japanese carried many trenches in rroiit of the tort, but tv ere unable to capture Ilio.. fortes The Japanese losses were heavier than in any previ­ ous attack, Japanese at Ciiefoo admit tiiat they received authentic bad news, but they declare that the fighting will be con­ tinued. There was no official statement con­ cerning the position of affairs at Port Arthur, ■ but numerous reports have been received that are exciting the highest expectations. It is stated thai the principal forts have fallen, that the city was in' grc-at confusion and that tiio inhabitants are preparing to flee. The Russian warships in the harbor have been repeatedly struck by shells, and a gunboat was sunk. A dispatch, dated at the headquar­ters of the Third Japanese Army, iu front of Port Arthur, received at Clio- foo, states that the Japanese by tbeir last assault gained positions rendering certain their ability to enter the main eastern forts at Port, Arther.whenever they Shbuld be ready. Tiie Japanese calculate that if the Russians do not surrender they will be able to prolong a final stand in the Tiger’s Tail aud Liaotishau forts for a month. The Japanese have not occupied the main forts on the highest points of the eastern hills, but hold posAions which will enable them to drive the Russians back whenever that is desired. When they hold the fort on the cast ridge they will completely dominate the oth­ er forts with artillery. Tiiey have completed the placing of eleven howit­zers. AU the reserves were advanced. A network of trenches had been con­ structed, facing the eastern ridge and forts, from south of Keeltwan to west of Ukrhmg, called by the Japanese Shoehosaii. There was a bombardment at dawn and infantry attacks were planned for noon against the two forts on Urling- skaii, an entrenched hill between Bau- jusan aiid the Keektvan ridge and the three Keekwan forts. There was tre­ mendous excitement among the troops, who were convinced that !success would mean the capture of the forts and the ridge and the surrender of Port Arthur in time for the Emper­ or’s birthday. Explosions were heard at Cliefoo, pointing to the destruction of Russian magazines and mines. Tokio, Japan.—The Jiji reports that the attack on the main positions of Port Arthur was resumed and was progressing satisfactorily. The indi­ cations were that the forts on Urlung- shan and Sungsliushan would soon be taken. The Russians have blown up and de­ frayed their own forts between the main line of defense and the town. The people of the town were busy seeking shelter from the Japanese shells. The Japanese shelled the warships anchored near Paiyu Hills, between the old and new towns. Several shells have been effective, destroying at least one gunboat. TEN KILLED IN ,MINE. Fatal Accident in D., L. and W. Coal Company Colliery. Wilkesbarre, Pa,—While-a cage filled with men was being lowered down the Auchincloss shaft of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Coal Com­ pany the other morning the rope broke and the cage fell to the bottom. The ten men on it were killed. A rescuing party at once entered the mine. There was great excitement in the town and thousands of persons gathered at the head of the shaft awaiting news. The mine workers who were already iu the colliery, it is believed, will not be injured, although there is some dan- gev of the air courses being blocked. At the bottom of the shaft is a 300 foot sump full of water, and into this the bodies and wreckage of the cage and the shaft fell.

Y.—Two cases of dynamite, 100 pounds in all, which were to be used in connection with tbo New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company’s improvements now under way iii Mount Vernoni expioded shortly after I o’clock iu -the afternoon- injuring forty persons, shaking up hun­ dreds of others, and doing; $50,000 worth of damage to property. Twenty-five hundred panes of glass, it is estimated, were broken by the ex­ plosion, which was felt within a radius of ten miles. Hundreds of Mount Ver- nonites thought that the city had been visited by a earthquake, but when they learned it was a dynamite explosion they rushed to the scene. Chief of Police. Foley sent out a gen­ eral alarni to the entire Police Depart* rnent. AU physicians in the city werd summoned and they cared for the in­ jured.An Italian, k'uown as No. 13, em­ ployed by the contractors to watch the dynamite magazines where the explo­sion occurred, has not been seen since- tlie accident. It is not known whether he was blown to atoms or ran away from fright. The place at which the explosion oc­ curred is under the Bond street bridge which crosses the railroad tracks and connects South JiIount Vernon with the westjside. This is one of the most densely populated spots in the city* A lighted cigar dr cigarette dropped from the Bond street bridge is supposed to be responsible for the explosion. It is thought that the dynamite stored in the smaller magazine caught fire in this fhanner, and that when the blaze reached the exploders, which were iu the same magazine, they set off the dynamite. This is the theory advanced by the city officials and. po­ lice. The railroad contractors and the men employed on the work say they don’t know how it happened. Had the accident occurred three*min­utes earlier the Boston express, bound for New York City,, might have been blown to pieces. The train, which runs through Mount Vernon at the rate of forty miles an Iiom*, had not passed under the Bond street bridge more than three minutes before the magazine ex­ ploded. The train is a heavy one. The force of the explosion wrecked the Bond street bridge and damageid many houses in the vieinity. The area of .damage is widespread, extending from South street to North Tenth ave­ nue and from West Third street to be­yond Mount Vernon avenue. In the. houses on Pearl street win­ dows Wore broken, and in one instance a young girl was badly cut with bro­ ken glass. In Cortlandt street win­ dows were broken, things thrown to the floor and pieces of the ceilings were thrown down. Wofcuen were fright­ ened and in many instances fainted. Heavy plate glass iu store .windows, was shattered for blocks. Roundsman Patrick Gilroy, who was abed at the time in his home on Short street, was thrown out on the floor by the explosion. His wife was baking pies in the kitchen and was knocked down. William F. Ryan, thirty-eight years old, foreman; Daniel King, forty-four years old, foreman, and James E. Bunt­ ing, contractor, of Flushing, L. I., were arrested by Chief of Police Foley, charged with violating Section 389 of the.- Penal Code. This section Axes a penalty for the unlawful keeping of explosives. They were admited to bail.The work in the railroad cut is being done by the Eglee Bunting Construc­ tion Company, of Boston, which has been at work since early last spring putting up the heavy wall which is’to support the bank. . The cut is widened for four tracks. Commissioner of Public Works Will­ iam A. Miles issued a permit on* May 2d to Eglee & Bunting to store.dyna­ mite subject to the city ordinance along the railroad company’s property. The contractors filed a bond of $5000 as a guarantee of good faith. Commis­sioner MftIes says that, according to his agreement, the contractors were per­ mitted to have two or three boxes of dynamite on the work at one time. On one occasion, he says, he found four­ teen boxes, aud he made Superintend­ ent Malcolm remove it to Yonkers.After this accident' fourteen cases of dynamite were found in a magazine within 200 feet of where the explosion to*ok place. Commissioner Miles made this discovery aud ordered the explo­ sives removed, which was done The dynamite was again taken to Yonkers. Miles says that if the second magazine had exploded the loss of life would have been great. Wholesale Frices Quote! in Nev Yorl h its. Tbe Milk Exchange price for standard quality is 3%c. per quart.

Charlottesville, Va., Special.—The celebrated McCue trial closed here on Saturday. The State made out a strong case. The arguments Iiy counsel were very able. -J- Samuel McCue, .for four years mayor of Charlottesville, was found guilty Saturday of the murder of his wife, Fanily iMcCue, on Sunday night, September 4th last. The verdict was murder in the first degree, which car­ries with it the; death penalty. Tho jury deliberated less than half an hour. cn his lap, her eyes reddened by weep­ ing, while there also ciung to his Mde two-other small children, Great tears streamed dowil hid cheeks. Surroiindr iiig this group were relatives, Vho scarcely knew what to say to cheer the condemned man. The verdict was re­ceived in silence by the throng, which literally obeyed the court's injunction that there must be no demonstration. Counsel for the defense moved that the verdict be set aside, oii the ground that the jurors had' read newspapers. The court called the jurors to the wit­ ness stand one by one, and questioned them under oath as to whether they had'read the newspapers. As a whole, they said they had not been influenced by anything they had read. The motion wiii Be argued later. As McCue left the court bouse to go to* jail, accom­ panied by four guards, a large crowd was standing on the outside, but there was no' untoward act. When court was opened this morn­ ing Commonwealth’s Attorney Gilmer resumed his closing address to the jury. The exhibits, reminders of the tragedy, were once more brought into court. Mr. Giimer closed at 11:09 a. m.-when Judge Morris placed the case in the hands of the jury. The verdict was ren- 9 . J. SAMUEL McCffE, A dead silence prevailed in the court room when the jury filed back into the chamber to announce the fate of the accused. The.crowd Ihat filled-the court room remained until the jury came in. Mr. McCue had grown nervous as Mr. Gilmer, the Commonwealth's attorney, was closing, and the suspense while awaiting the jury’s verdict was a se­ vere strain; but he held up, occasional­ly taking a Testament from his pocket and reading a passage or two. When asked to stand up to hear the verdict, he rose calmly, and with set features heard the words that sent him back to prison, condemned .to the sever­ est penalty of the law. -It was when relaxation oame during a half hour's interim while his attor­neys conferred as to'their motion for a'new trial that McCue showed emo­ tion. His little daughter Kuby climbed tiered at 11:34 a. m. One particularly sad feature of the trial was the feat that McCue had for years been a lawyer at the. bar befofe which he was tried and convicted' and had been on a friendly relations with most of those identified with the trial. The jury evidenced the greatest in­terest, frequently questioning witness­ es. Mrs. McCue bad received the con­ tents of a shotgun in her breast—a sufficient wound to canse instant death, but in addition she had been struck a heavy blow on the head, cutting an ear nearly in two. McCue said to one of the jurors who shook hands with him after the ad­ journment of court that the verdict was ail unjust one, at the same time protesting his innocence. Engineer and Fireman Killed.

None of them would leave their houses without a strong escort, and it Is believed a largetdetail of police will have Io be sent thither from head­quarters to restore anything like con­ fidence’ to the community, A wild and onry half dad man of fiendish appear­ance is said to be‘prowling about the cemetery and in the roads and streets near it, and not only Miss Steinway’s death, .but the murders of May Mc­ Donald and Lulu Mueller, are attrib­ uted to him. All three crimes were committed within a radius of half .a mile of the burying ground, and it was disclosed that, another attempt to add to the list of horrors was made. Mamie Roddie, Lizzie Weimer and Mamie IVehfiier told the police they were on their way home at 10 o’clock at night, when they were attacked by the “wild man.” They said they were passing the cemetery when he stepped from a shadow^ made by an angle of the fence and pounced oti the trio. He seized Miss Weimer and Miss Webmer in a clutch that made them powerless for the moment. They shrieked for aid, but none arrived, and soon they realized they must depend on tbelr own strength and courage to escape a fate simflar to that of the three girls al­ ready murdered. The man struck furious blows at Miss*" Wehmer and tried to hurl her to the ground. She twisted in bis grasp and clung to his arm so that he could not throw her from him. In the mean­ time her friends attacked her assailant desperately. Miss IVehmer twined her fingers in his long hair and Miss Roddie seized his beard. Both girls pulled in opposite directions until the increasing pain compelled the ruffian to release Miss Webmer. Then she joined in the defensive battle and dug her fingers into the man’s eyes with such force she could not believe for several minutes she had net blinded him. The “wild man” fought' savage­ ly, raining terrible blows on the head* and shoulders of the young women, but they were fortunate enough to es­ cape receiving stunning injuries and kept their feet despite his determined efforts to trip them. Half fainting from their frightful, conflict, the three girls did not dare to rest longer than a few seconds. Soon as they recovered tbeir breath they joined hands and ran all the way to tb» home of Miss Wehmer, which was nearest. There all three passed the night. Although they related their harrowing experience to their relatives and' friends the same night, they did not report the occurrence' to the police until the next day. It was the belief throughout Curn- minsvilie a lunatic was at large in the graveyard, and that he doubtless was responsible for the three deaths that have shocked the community. PURSUIT OF A MADMAN.

It is very gratifying to -be able, so very soon after the great verdict in favor of “ Prosperity,” to call attention to a single instance right near home showing how Prosperity is prospering the South and prov­ ing the wisdom of the great -major­ ity in supporting the party of Prog ress and Pi osperity. On the I enth of November, just one -c!ear day after the verdict, the Charlotte Clothing Maufucturiug Company held its annual meeting, and the business of the company was found to be in such a prosperous condi­ tion as to enable iits board of direc­ tor to declare a di vidend of ten per cent. The stockholders of the com­ pany will be greatly tickled with such tangible evidence of prosper­ ity, aud, as “ Nothing succeeds like success,” they are certain here­ after to see where success naturally lies and will join the great majority for good and all.

The 151 votes given to Parker include those of Missouri, which State, in all calculations, Republi­ can or Democratic, is classed with the solid South. There is a chance that this discreditable association may beeuded sooner-than th e party leaders on either side_expeet. A Republican victory iu Missouri in 1904 is well within the scope of the possibilities.” Here is a premonition given.the St. Louis Globe Democrat as early in the campaign as the third .week of October, in au article forecasting the chances of the rival candidates iu the Electoral College. It voices onr own hopes, to which-we ^have given expression before, only that Knrhopewasthat theOld Dominion might have been vouchsafed the honor of being the'fust to break np the “discrditable association” -a combination which owed its fixed character to the solid stupid­ ity of the ballot-box staffer and the fixer of returns—the knaves and the. dullards who fancy it-is laudable to “hold Robeson and save the State.” Ifonr Democra tic friends—the rank andfileof the party—not the bogus patriots, whose highest conception of the Redeemer is involved in the idea of the loaves and fishes—if, we say, our Democratic brothers study the matter—read both sides—read everything—and reason upon it, they will see that the idea of the solid South has been nothing but a stupid blunder, conceived in venom and nurtured on vituperation- preached by the' designing knave and followed by- the unthinking fool—a bluuder which has retard­ ed the progress of the'South in general and North Carolina in. par­ ticular. withont henefitirg any but the political chair-warmers, whose highest aspirations. meant “graft” within the limits of the State, and who- prate of rotation in office while they manage to keep that rotation rotating Within their own small circle. When, our brothers once get their: “ think tanks” at workit will not take' long before a quietus isgnen to thib “ discredit­ able association.” We sell the Garland Cook Stoves and Ranges—the best - that money can bny—and the price is from $9.50 to $45.00.

Baltimore, Md. — The Republicans have carried McryIaud by the closest vote ever given in a National election, and, with one exception, by the nar­ rowest margin In the history of the ►State. Complete returns from twenty counties, with three counties estimated upon scattered returns, greatly reduce the early estimates of a Reimblican jiiuiality of 1300, and it is now figured that Roosevelt's plurality will be about 390.

Mich.—With returns on hand from all but a few of the counties in the .State and a careful estimate of the probable vote in the missing ones, the Free Press places Roosevelt and Fair­ banks' plurality at 142,900 and the plu­ rality of Fred M.

The fig­ ures are estimated at 200,000 and may gii to 215,000. It was a landslide In all parts of the State. Cincinnati gave the largest plurality in the city’s his­ tory, and the same is probably true of all the other large cities. The Repub­ licans probably gain two Congress­ men. General J. Warren Keifer has carried the Seventh Congress Dis­ trict by 4500. IDAHO. Boise, Idaho.—Roosevelt is eoueeded to have carried the State by a heavy majority. Frank It. Gooding, the Re­ publican candidate for Governor, ran slightly behind the National ticket. Six precincts out of sixteen in Boise gave Roosevelt 929, Parker, 343.

Nine national political conventions were held this year, and nine canui- fiates for President anil Vice-President of tbe United States were nominated, but only six electoral tickets were gen­ erally voted for Tuesday. Beside "tne two great political parties,” seven oth­ers made nominations—People’s. Pro­ hibition, Socialist. Socialist Labor, Continental (Labor), National Liberty (negro) and Lincoln (negro). The two negro parties, however, apparently ended their work when the national conventions adjourned, as 110 electors were selected, or at least lione.appeayed on any official ballot, and the Continen­ tal party seems confined to Illinois, * and, perhaps, to Chicago, tlie place of its origin. 'The terms of thirty United States Senators expire March 4 next. Seven of the vacancies have already been filled and the Legislatures’ of tweuiy- three States elected November S will fill the other twent-three. Members of the House of Representatives were voted for in ail except three Siates- Maine, Vermont and Oregon—which have already elected Congressmen.In twenty-seven States a Governor and all, or nearly all, the elective State officers were chosen Tuesday. In five States minor State officers were se­ lected. and in thirteen only electors were voted for. South Carolina enjoys the Jisliflction of having only one ticket in the field. AU the other States had from four to six, Illinois leading with seven. There were three Republican tickets ill Dela­ ware, but -only oue variation iu !he names of the candidates, the nominee for Governor of tlie “regulars” refus­ ing to abide by the decision of tlie fac­ tional conference which resulted in the withdrawal of the “Union” candidate and an agreement upon a compromise ticket.The Republicans In Wisconsin had a choice between two tickets for State officers, the “Stalwarts” having decid­ ed to keep up their fight against La Follette. The electors on both tickets, however, are identical.The Democrats and People's party, or Populists, fused on the Sfate ticket In Kansas and Nebraska, but in both States the People’s party named sep­ arate Presidential electors. In Nevada the Democrats and one wing of the Silver party divided the minor State officers that were voted for."The People's Party, which endorsed Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, their own organization in thirty-two States State officers and electors being on the official ballot in twelve States and for electors in twenty. Efforts to this end were made in a number of other States, but the requisite number of signatures to petitions were not obtained. The Prohibitionists put up electoral and State tickets in twenty-seven States, and. electoral tickets in twelve others—oue less than in 1900. The Socialists (called in some States Social Democrats) put up electoral and State tickets In thirty-two States, and electoral tickets in eleven others— seven more than in 1900. The Socialist Labor party put up whole or part electoral and State tick­ ets in twelve States, and electoral tick­ ets in two others—six less than in 1900. The following are the national tickets nominated by the different parties: Republican — President, Theodore Roosevelt, New York; Vice-President, Charles W. Fairbanks, Indiana. Democratic—President, Alton B. Par­ker, New York; Vice-President, Henry G. Davis, West Virginia. Prohibition—President, Silas C. Swal­ low, Pennsylvania; Vice-President, George W. Carroll, Texas. People's—President, Thomas E. Wat­ son, Georgia; Vice-President, Thoinas H. Tibbies, Nebraska. Socialist—President, Eugene V. Debs, Indiana; Vice-President, Benjamin Hanford, New’York. Socialist-Labor—Charles H. Corrc- gon, New York; Vice-President, Will­ iam W. Cox, Illinois. Continental (Labor)-President, Aus­ tin Holcomb, Georgia; Vice-President, A. King, Missouri.

Hamburg, by cable.—The crew of the German bark Thalia, bound from Iquique for Hamburg, all of the mem­ bers of which were lost through the foundering of the vessel durin'g a storm m the North Sea numbered 20 There were seven men: In the erqw of the 140-ton Neptune, the loss of which was reported at the same time as that of the Thalia. The general board recommends the addition of three 16.000-ton battleships and two scout cruisers to the Un<t»d RisiGR fleet. To Be Hanged in Mexico. Mexico r City. Special.—The legisla­ ture of the state of Mexico has-ap­ proved the report of the commission of justice, denying the right of commuta­ tion from capita] punishment to John Madden, an American, who killed Dr Richard D. King, at Oaxaca. The kil­ ling excited the Indignation of the En­ glish-speaking colony , of Oaxaca. No date has been fixed for the execution of Maddep KaiserWilhelm, of Germany, cabled congratulations to President Rociscveli on his election.

Sessional Districts,, Although Re­ turn From the Eighth and Ninth Are Meagre—In the Ninth District Webb Defeated Niwell By About 3,400 Votes, ■ Raleigh, Special.—Capt, R. B. Glenn, was on Tuesday elected governor of North Carolina by a riiajority estimat­ ed between 45,000 ana 50,000, the vote being generally light. It appears prob­ able that the Democrats have elected all ten congressman, -although there is a lack of information from the Sth and IOth districts, the only, ones in which the Republicans had any chance. In the tenth it seems certain that Ctndgcr, Democrat, is elected. As to the eighth returns are meagre, word having been received only from Iredell, Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanly, Caldwell and Alexander. These leave Newland-con­ siderably in the lead, but Blackburn's strongholds, Wilkes, Ashe, Wa­ tauga and Surry, are yet to hear from, as is also Alleghany, which is usually Democratic by a small majority. In the ninth district, Congressman S. Yates Webb was elected by a ma­ jority estimated at about 3,400 over Jake F. Newel], Republican. Rollins Claims Catawba, Burke, Cher­ okee, Madison and Henderson. Asheville, Special.—Madison county gives Newell over 1.100 majority. In­ dications are that Catawba county and Burke county liavo gone Republican by about 100 majority. Cherokee county gives Republicans 250; Hen­ derson county, HO; Republican major­ ity. T. S.

Asheville, Special.—At 12:30 Tues­ day night all but seven precincts in this county have been heard from and it is certain that the entire county ticket is elected from 500 to 1,000. This is a slight decrease over two years ago. Congressman Gudger’s majority in Buncombe will not be less than 700. The chairman of the Democratic congressional committee, at midnight said that Mr. Gudga- was elected by more than 1,000 majority Two years ago this majority over Moody was less than 200. Authentic information re­ ceived by Mr. Shipman and Mr. Gudger from Rutherfordton gives Gudger 650 majority. Haywood this year gives Gudger 600 majority, against 99 two years ago Transylvania is 100 foi Gudger and Macon county, which two years ago gave Moody a majority, this year gives Gudger 100. McDowell is Democratic by a good majority. The OfHcial vote from this district will not be had before Wednesday night. BEAUFORT. Washington,- Special.—The election' in this city and county passed off very quiet, no disturbance of any kind re­ ported. At this hour, G o'clock, the in­ dications are that the Democrats have carried this county by a majority ranging between 500 and 700. The city of Washington gives the Democratic ticket a majority of several hundred. Several of the precincts in this coun­ ty claimed by the Republicans so far heard from gave Democratic majori­ ties. There was some scratching done in this city. Most all the registered voters voted.. Old Beaufort is in the Democratic column Iby a big majority, much larger than ' was expected. Later returns from the county indicate a Democratic majority of 800 for the entire ticket. GASTON Gastonia, Special.—At this hour re­ turns from 16 out of 17 precincts in Gaston county give Webb a majority of 1,234 for Congress ,over his oppon­ ent, Newell, who ifiaide a gain of about 250 over Hiss in 1902. The balance of the Democratic, county ticket is elected by a majority similar to Webb's: The total vote polled was lighter than usual. The election hero was exceedingly quiet. WATOE Goldsboro, Special.—The four pre­ cincts in the city ofi Goldsboro give an estimated Democratic majority of 500. Many of the county precincts are probably Republican. Returns are coming in very slowly. NEW HANOVER. Wilmington, Speciai.-Hardly halt the vote of New Hanbver county was oat of thirteen precincts, the 13th be- out of thritten precincts, the 13th be­ ing not obtainable tonight, give 1,034 for Parker and 73 . for Roosevelt; Glf-nn, 1,037;.

The couiity Demo­ cratic tibket is uletied by pluralities ot from 55 tb ii>5.. There Were three county tickets ift the field.

Cumberland, Pender, and a number of others where returns are not fall. Morganton, Special.—Returns from Burke, McDowell, Caldwell and Alex­ ander, the counties composing the thirty-fourth Senatorial district, indi­ rate the election of W. S. Pearson, of Burke, and A. V. Milleri of Cald­ well, the Repuhlicah nominees, by 28b majorities. The RapublicSns claim their majority in the district will be at least 300. Winston-Salem, Special.—The re­ turns from Tuesday’s election show Democratic majorities ranging froifi 50 to 348. H. W. Lindsay, for regis­ ter of deeds, led the ticket Congress­ man Kitchin’s majority is about -50. The Socialists polled about 150 votes in the county. Mr. Willia mPegram, candidate for Governor, who resides in this county, lost his vote by failure to register. Lenoir, Special.—The entire Repub­ lican ticket In the county, was elected. Blackburn’s, majority over Newland is 91 in this county, Hendersonville, Special —Judge Ew­ art’s majority in this county is- 450. The entire Republican ticket is elect­ed by 400 majority. • . Raleigh, Special.—The Democrats have certainly.carried all the Con­gressional districts, except the eighth, which is in grave doubt. The Repub­ licans claim Blackburn’s election posi­ tively. Democratic Mate Chairman Simmons has reports, but they are in round !lumbers and incomplete, so he does not give them out. He says; ‘‘Newland appears to be elect > d by s small majority. I think it will take the official count to settle the mat­ ter. There are conflicting elements.” Salisbury, Special—It is conceded by the Democratic leaders in Salis­ bury, who have heard from all coun­ ties in this diistrict, that Blackburn has defeated Newland by from 150 to 300. Graham, Special.—Returns from all tho townships of Alamance county show that tie Republican candidate •for sheriff, Mr. R. T. Kernodle, is elected. As to the remainder of the ticket, the contest is so close that it cannot be determined without the offi­cial count. There was a great deal of scratching of tickets, and the offices will probably be very much divided between the two parties. Laurinburg, Special.—The Democrat­ ic majority in this - county averages 650. The Republicans polled 60 votes. A light vote was cast and there was a good deal of scratching. Many could not vote on account of misunder­ standing of registration under the amendment Roosevelt lead the ticket Franklin, Special.—Returns are still incomplete. Dr. W. A.

North State News. * Some interesting questions have arisen in connection with alleged vio­ lation of the provision of the constitu­ tion which requires that no one shall -hold at the same time two offices of trust or profit. Most people have, an idea that the terms of legislators do not begin until the time of those of the State officers begin, but this is not true; the term begins as soon as they are elected. News comes from Alexander county that the man elect­ ed to the House, a Republican, was a county commissioner, and that he did not resign the latter office until the day after his election to the Legisla­ ture. News also comes that in the 3Gth Senatorial district, composed of Yancey and two other counties, one of the men elected Senator had not lived in tho State the required two ■years. An investigation is in pro­ gress as to both these cases, and of course it will be thorough.

BOAT TO SAIL ON LAND. /outhful Eastern Inventor Has Built Novel Vehicles This latest thing in the way of a rehicle is a land sailboat, which has been invented by Master Pembroke Jones, Jr., aged 12, of Newport, and which, if lt' proves all the young man expects, is sure to attract attention In the world of science. The boat, in a general way, looks like an iceboat on wheels. It is 25 feet over all and is in two parts. Like an iceboat, it Is really nothing but a framework, from which rises a mast -,carrying a single sail like that of a catboat. The rear section of tkt craft is square and running through It later­ ally is an axle, upon each end of which is a bicycle wheel. The forward section is In the form of a triangle, giving the vehicle a general triangu­ lar form. On the front of the forward section is another bicycle wheel, mak­ ing three wheels in all upon which the land boat runs. The forward and aft sections are connected by a plank upon which the forward section turns on jwhat is known on a carriage as a fifth wheel. The forward wheel, by which the land boat is to be steered, is connect­ ed to an ordinary steering wheel, lo­ cated in the rear section, the gear and methods of connection being that- employed in yachts.—New York Amer­ ican. Lawyer’s Labors Divided. De Lancey Nicoll’s most recent ex­ planation of his retirement from the post of district attorney, of New York county in 1894 came under the eye of. James W. Osborne, who was his opponent in the criminal libel proceed­ ings involving Amory and the Metro­ politan Street Railway company. “I had tired of sending men to jail, and wished -to try another branch of the profession.” “Guess that’saboiit right,”: observed Osborne. “The first half of Nicoll's career was spent in getting scoundrels into prison. The last half is spent in keeping them out.” Responsibility Fixed. The New York Mail has finally fixed the responsibility for the baldheaded- uess of the -mien of this generation, the Watertown Times-Standard states. It is the -nightcap that did' the mis­ chief, and while it did not make the generation that wore it baldheaded, it weakened the hair producing organs and subsequent generations have had to pay for the same. That is The New York Mail’s explanation. It is just as good as any. Still the musi­ cian’s explanation given a short time ago, that baldheadedness was caused- by antagonistic vibrations of certain tunes, ds rather better, because it ap­ pears so much more scientific and gives range for wider speculation. French i« Popular. According to the report of the Na­ tional Union of Teachers, French Ss tiie most popular language among students.

We need the Republican candidate for county treasurer, lor register of deeds or for the Legislature, but would have no effect on the general re­ sult in the State, for that is fore- odained. The end accomplished would not. therefore, justify the perjury. As for the rest, enor­ mous majorities procured by ille­ gal methods would be but a cheat ing of Democrats by Democrats— procuring, by counties in which they are resorted to, illegitimate advantage iu the district and State conventions of two and four yeair bence over comities in wnich elec­ tions are straight. Thus, a nia jority of t (.00 or 5,000 is not need­ ed from Halilax to morrow, and would give that county iu the next State convention a preponderance of strength to wnich it is not cn titled over Mecklenburg and other counties in which the vote will be free, v here the ballots will be cast honestly, and counted as cast. This is what is meant by Democrat* cheating Demoirats. Apart from the immorality ot the thing, dan­ ger to the party lnrks in the sys­ tem, and danger to the South. A- continuation of election frauds would be a powerful club iu the bands of the Oruinpackers, who are seeking to reduce Southern represeniation-in the lower house of Congress and in the Electoral College. They are wrong of them­ selves, hurtful iu many ways, and there is no good to result from them.—Charlotte Observer. The above appeared in the Char­ lotte Oliserver on the 8 th. An honest election should be desired at all times, not because one party gets the offices and the other loses, bht because an honest and pure electorate is essential to the per­ petuity of a republican govern­ ment.

It has come to be recognized as 'an axiom that Presidential elections depress busi­ ness—nobody will speculate,, and all are inclined to go slow—there seems to be a sort of indefioiteness in the eery atmosphere. This year all the signs failed-. With business unusually good and people all at work, with a wheat crop larger than was predicted, an immense yield iu corn and oats, and an in­ creased cotton crop, it really did not require a very keen observer to recognize that he was in an atmo­ sphere of Prcsperityl and when he observed that supersensitive'baro­ meter of public confidence, the Stock Exchange, and saw that, in the great centres of business, specu­ lation was active and stocks aud bonds were advancing in price— in short, when the observer saw that this barometer registered the commercial weather of the country as “ Set Fair,” he determined that it would be idiotic in the extreme for him to da anything, that might cause the barometer to fly back to Change,” and then in rapid sue cession, once ;the change had set in, to “Cloudy,” "Rain,” and “Frost-” then bo pictured a series of bare metric readings like this, “ Stag­ nation,’’ “E'ebt,” Starvation,” aud then, the mercury in the glass freezing, and it belrtg impossible to register any greater fall, he rea lizgd that the indicator, as if in cold derision,, pointed to the iead ■lag — “ Democratic.” The pboCr; ver reckoned that a goodly number of the people could read the baro­ meter as well as he, and that, there being 110 insanity in their family, there was not the slightest dauger of any of them monkeying srith the instrument, or even laying a finger on it,' for fear of a change, and it was no surprise to him when Roose­ velt & Co., the great meteorologi­ cal instrument makers, sent along and hail the barometer taken and placed in the vestibule of the White House. It is quite possible that a new dial may be designed for the White House barometer. The word “Democratic” will be obliterated, as well as several very disagreeable readings which are invariably to be found in its neighborhood; it. is unlikely that they will ever again be needed on any instrument to be set up in the White House during this generation. For them will be substituted such reading- as, “ High prices,” “ Plenty,’ “ Good wages,” “ No change,” These are regarded as being more in accord with- the atniospberu conditions certain to res It fro: the recent phcnom nal activity 0 the great “ Gult Stream.” The old dial will be preserved in the Smithsonian museum, as warning to future generations and a reminder to many who are not yet very old.

"ABUSE THE OTHKB SIDE" In the last campaign was wit­ nessed a remarkable phenomonon —the support of the Republican party by the two leading papers published in this country in the interests of the Irish and the Irish cause—good Inck to it! We refer to the Boston Pilot and to the.Irisb World, ably edited journals, both of them—and, in a sort of paren thesis, we may say that it looks very much as If we were on the right side in the struggle- for the people when these two, who are veritable giants in theii own cause, come over and espouse ours with might and main; but that is jnst the Irish of it ^that is the way the Irishman does-everything he takes it into his head to do. Which re­ minds, us of a story. A strolling fiddler was amusing a crowd In an English city;, the natural artist showed in the ski.lfnl way he handled the instrument-, although by an educated musician it could at once be seen that the artist w; s not playing by note. One snch, whb paused a while, attracted by the ‘ genuineness of the melody, took occasion, while presenting.hi'8 doucier, to exchange a few words with the recipient'. “ Ah,- friend, you play by ear, I see.?’ “ No; dr; I dv not,” was the reply, Ci Well, you don’t mean to tell Tne that you play by- note 3” “ No, sir,” ; -‘ What do.you play by, DhenTV “ Be main strength, be jabers Itis needless to say the artist was an I1.1sk.man.

Now ;rc enjoying the beneflts resulting Ulbv s,eejs a,1<1 ™ ,a'fi rom their own defeat. . Just after Election, the Irish World had the tallowing article, under the above leading, as its IeudiDg editorial : . The leading issue of the cam­ paign jnst closed was the tariff, ind, as. was to be expected, the party that championed the policy if protection to home industries is triuiuphai.t. Never yet, in a square fight, has the party of Free Trade been endorsed by' the American people -it the polls, and it is safe to say it never will be. “ History attests the statement and justifies the prediction.. “ Indeed, the Free Trailers themselves ever seem to have a realizing sense of the weakness ol their cause, and the proof in sup­ port of this statement is furnished in the tact that, while they are ever the challeugeis in the fight on Protection—which they call the “ Robber. Tariff” — they iuvari- ably ran away from- the issue raised by themselves anil try to win the battle by some device or trick utterly foreign to the que • tion put before the people. “ In 1884 it was the ‘ Rurehard ’ decoy; in 1904 it is an attack on the personal character of the Presi dent—and this, too, by Mr. Parker, the candidate for President .011 the Democratic ticket. “ Recourse to such tactics is a confession of weakness .and is a tacit admission on the part of the Free Tradeis that they have no case. Their conduct recalls, thi advice of the hardened old limb of the law to the green young, fel- •fellow just entering- on -his practice at the bar : ‘ What am I to do,’ a^ked the fledgling, Vwhen the law' ■is;against mef' ‘ In that ease,’ savd his adviser, .‘you must rely on the facts.’ ‘ But suppose,Lcon tiniied the youngster, ‘ the law-and th e facts are agai nst me, y:.hat then V ‘ Oh, in that case,’ replied his pre­ ceptor, ‘ yon must abuse the other side.” On this advice Alton B.

The vessel that was aban­ doned was the three-masted lumber laden schooner Islesborot owned by Pendleton Brothers, of New York, and not insured. “We sailed from Savannah.” said Cantain Turner, of the Isleahoro. “ami had splendid weather until the wind shifted from southeast to north. IJien northeast, and finally due east. In a Vifry a gale was blowing, which Im creased iu fury each minute. By o o'clock in the evening the seas were running mountain high. AU night long the gale, which by midnight was a hurricane, blew with ever increasing force. The following morning at It o'clock our forestaysail went over­ board, three hours later the foresail was blown away, and in another hour the mainsail followed. “That afternoon we stalled the pump*, and from 3 to 11 p. in. they sucked dry. Then we commenced to get water in. and in two hours we were waterlogged. .Tust before daylight our only lifeboat was washed away, and we were rolling in the trough of Ilie sea. The 43,000 feet of lumber ihal we had on board began to wash a way piece by piece. “All this time the great r-'an were curling with clock-like regularity over our decks, our water casks were hurled overboard; then the cabin and the for avard hoiise went, and whan dawn came all our stores except a IiilIc corned beef was gone. Our sUnnllon then became so perilous and the vessel was in such a predicament that in or­ der to save our lives the entire crow • climbed on top of the after house. 1'ial being the only part of the IsJesbcrc that was not awash at that time. , “When all the deckload had gone Ihc schooner heeled .over to the starboard, and we were in momentary peril of her turning turtle any minute, so fierce was the onslaught of wind and wave at that time. Wc improvised a flag of distress as soon as daylight came, the Sag being made of an old flour sack, a piece of carpet and a tablecloth. "About 0 a. m. wc sighted a three- masted Nova Scotian schooner a mile to our starboard, and signaled her with the flag and also with a torch, and finally by building a fire on top Die af- terhouse. Sho paid not attention to our signals. The Nova Scotian had suf­ fered, too. for I could see that she had Tost her mizzen and foretopmasts, her main fore and staysails aud apparently slso her lifeboat. “About 4 o’clock in the afternoon we made out the funnel of a west-bound liner that bad proved to be the Athol. She was about ten miles away, and In less than five minutes after wc began to signal her she changed her course and headed for us.” The Islesboro was linilt In 1832. and was always employed iu tho lumber trade. m m apKs lo |W ,0,jr®iner for all lbe^ooi _arTbw Htyt y*t Wje eoalos$ ^r'f baf yj°r5 H)e yail) ot meo iroo would- iapKs tor Home for tov^S for qop'c; I orTue.

Tlie Dayi the Dio!* the Decorations. Tlis Aiucrteau with “a soul so head" that he docs not teel his patriotism stirred by the memory ot Thanksgiv­ ing dinners that have “gone before” is a poor sort Of an individual. Indulge in “shacks and bites” as he may and distress his digestion by the torturing process of swallowing his average midday meal In five minutes, there is one day in tbe year at least when he becomes passive, quiescent and calmly amenable to the seductive effects of a rc-ally attractive and prop­ erly built np meal. An essay on the delights of eating, therefore, which would only merit his cynicism or contempt at any other time becomes an attractive subject now, and the idea of festooning his stomach with a melange of succulent dainties become a subtle and tender­ ly fantastic suggestion as Thanksgiv­ ing day approaches. It depends very much upon the ex­ uberance of the fancy, the training of ■ tbe palate or the depth of the pocket- ■ book how far the course can be I stiietckcd cut to suit the taste of any i particular individual. I Bht as a sajSo once said, “Catch your bird first and then eat him.” So with I your turkgy. Get him by all means ! before anything else, and get the right kind of a bird, if you would have him tender and tasty as he should be if young and properly fed. The best kind of a turkey .0 buy is a short brensted, plump bird, with a clear skin and short pin feathers, giving the preference to I a fowl that is not over large. Long ■ hairs and sharp scales on the Ie£3 be­ tray old birds. The clever housewife needs no tell­ ing how to cook the turkey when a nice bird bps once been secured aud bow to garnish the centre piece with appropriate fixings. One hint only, therefore, to her In j regard to tbe dining-room and table, I which may be given a touch of color befitting the occasion without much extra trouble. The mantel can be very prettily deco­ rated Iy means of a bank formed of various kinds of fruits aud vegeta. bles appropriately mingled with green leaves. The Chandelier can be draped with ropes of moss intermingled with sprays i of bitter sweets. ■ Be sure not to bring'out the ordi­ nary every day dinner service, for this is the one occasion when all the old­ est fasbione-2 things should be brought out, the oldest china, the most revered antiques and family heirlooms, not forgetting the old-fashioned brass can­ dlesticks for lighting the dinner table with candles. For a centrepiece a Jardiniere may be made out of half a pumpkin or a cabbage.; The pumpkin should be hol­ lowed out and cut into points at tilt edge, or the cabbage be stripped ol its outer leaves and the centre hol- -I lowed out Into this natural jardin­ iere the rosiest of apples and tbe fin­ est grapes and pears should be piled.

We did not stop to count. . “It is a .dry time and the roads are dusty. _So anujch the worse for the hens. I .suppose it is different with ; hens in .-the cities and towns, but along the cpnntry^roads they have not yet leavnsiii /to make proper calcula­ tions for -escape from th^ automobile. The hen is of a mathematical turn of mind. She rolls in the dust of the highway and no horse-drawn vehicle was ever known to run over one. She figures closely, but always escapes. Now, it is different when she comes to take the automobile into consid­ eration. She expects to escape by the length of a horse.

State Horticulturist Harold Hume, says that the tests of different varie­ ties of cabbages at the Wiliam Dunri farm at Newbertt are so far succeed; Ing very wcii* The stand is goOd arid the first week in December the plants will be set out in the field. There are 279 varieties, the greater number of which are unknown in North Carolina Prof.-Hume is preparing descriptive sheets about the apples of this State. These are on cards and a section of tbe peel of each variety of apples is fastened on the card. The skins of apples preserve their rich colors for a great length of Lime, even for as long as 15 years. State Entomologist Franklin Sher­ man says he desires to get in touch with every fruit grower in .the State with whom ne has not bad correspond­ ence, who suspects the presence of the San Jose fruit scale. He asks that specimens of infected twigs be sent to him. Prof. Hume desires the address o' all persons In Nortli Carolina who grow pecans or who contemplate grow­ ing these profitable nuts. He is pre­ paring special illustrations of the best varieties of pecans. He will put a collection of all the kinds of these nuts in .the State Meusenm. Saturday ev­ ening he will address the students of Guilford College on forestry. The State grants a charter to the Behrends & Riley Furniture Company of Wilmington, authorized capital stock $15,000. The Superintendent of Public In­ struction finds it very difficult to make Iiis report as to* the receipts of school funds complete, owing to the fact that a number of districts have not reported their local taxes. Some large towns do not fully report these. For example Winston reports only $78, received while the disburse­ ments were $17,850. The city pays the schools and this payment is not separated from the other taxes. W. B. Rodman, of Charlotte, who has charge of tbe matter of the sale of the State~swamp lands held by the board of education, says that depredations on these lands have been considerably checked and are not so extensive as they have been. Of course there, are always depredations, not only on these lands, but on the lands of private per­sons. Grand Secretary John C. Drewry, of the grand lodge of Masons says tbe Masonic Temple fund now reaches $100,000 and Uiat $20,000 more is need­ ed. It is decided, he states, that work on the building will begin in the early spring. rtl may be that a canvasser will Lhen be put at work In the State. Last year Francis D. Winston made a very successful canvass. Secretary Parker, of the Farmers* State Alliance, says work will be re­ sumed Saturday, when State Lecturer H. M.

Gen, Grant believes in Seltcoffl, mand.: Concerning hasty tempers, h» said one day: “The plea of the quick tempered is that if they are soon angered they are soon pleased again. There is answer to this plea, though. The former ,valet of a friend of mine ha, a good answer to it. “This valet, an excellent servant worked for my friend two months! Then he said that he was going to leave. “ ‘Why are you going, Jamesr my friend said kindly. ‘‘‘Well, sir, to be frank,’ James answered, ‘you are too quick tem. pered.’ “ ‘Pooh, pooh, James,’ said my friend. ‘What if I .am a bit quick tem- pered? My anger is no sooner on than it is off.’ “ ‘True, sir,’ said James respectfully, ‘but it is no sooner off than it is Q0 again.' ” ‘ Frank J.

The force of the esplosioil wrecked the etititg fiiiiidiiig; covering a city Modi', carried debris a mile and a half, reduced to particles most of the win­ dows in houses within half a mile and threw the walls of hundreds of houses out of plumb. The trembling of tile ground from the explosions add the deafening rotti' i‘6SUiting §8 iiMjfiiteiied paspia. that Withiii ft few moments fevery IibiisS within a radius of half a lnile was deserted; The streets were crowded by per­ sons fleeing; their arms heaped with their valuables. Storekeepers left their shops wide open, and the scene was one as though a volcano was in eruption. That the frightened ones had good reason to fear is shown by tha fact that all of the buildings with? in ii block of the charging Station were so badly damaged as to be Mnhabita able. Tbe Pyte Company was ft tenant of tile People’^ Gas Light Company; the many huge gas tanks bf which were Siearby-. The policd completely Sur­ rounded the property occupied by the gas company, but kept at a distance that assured safety. The firemen for a time were forced to throw water on the fire from a block’s distance, mo- ncntarily expecting to be hurled to the earth by the explosion of the big tanks. The flames were shooting hundreds of feet into the air, accompanied by clouds of black smoke from the burn­ ing gas. Great masses of bricks and iron from the burning tanks were Hii-OWB into the air by explosions, To prevent the explosion of the gas in the mammoth tank:-; ;iio gas com­ pany oQcials ordered the waste pipes opened. These pipes run outside of the plant, and In a short time tho big tanks were discharging gas into the air. This was a dangerous undertak- ' ing, but it was chanced, and proving : successful, prevented a larger destruc­tion of property. Across South Chicago avenue, direct­ ly opposite the gas storage buildings, was a large coal shed filled with coal, The huge coal pile was ignited, and in a few. moments the biaas there was be­ yond control. The twenty-two tanks were each charged with 2250 pounds to the cubic inch of acetylene gas. They are the tanks that are connectcd to railroad coaches fcr lighting, and each gives light to a car for six months without recharging. Eleven tanks exploded In quick' succession, and were soon fol­ lowed by the blasts of the remaining eleven. At the ,,first explosion all of the men employed in the charging sta­ tion started to escape. Some of them got outside with slight injuries; oth­ ers were caught on the verge of safe­ ty and were seriously hurt, while thops in the rear must have met death instantly. • The dead were buried under tons of 1 lraning timber and hot brick and iron, making it impossible to remove tlieir bodies for hours. ■ Firemen poured wa­ ter on that part of the building Sn which the dead were thought to be buried until the flames were subdued sufficiently to permit of the four bod­ ies being removed. It is. officially reported that the ac­ cident was due to an employe enter­ ing the charging room with a torch and meeting gas coming fron a leak in one of the tanks. Those whose bodies have been re­ covered were Ralph Wells, superin­ tendent; George Muehl, engineer; Amos Watkins, assistant superintend­ ent, and Jolin Jennings, laborer. Those who will die of their hurts are W. M. Maloney and Alfred Cox. ‘ V \ I '•*/ I W o m e n w h o w o r k , w h e t h e r i n t h e h o u s e , H sto re , o ffic e o r f a c t o r y , v e r y r a r e l y h a v e t h e a b ility t o s t a n d t h e s t r a i n .

Central Vermont Line Freight Boat Destroyed by Fira. Til© Btobawk Canglit F lre a t Nlfflit W hen Off Cornfield—One of Hcv Crew loet<« K em alnder ltesciied by the BostoiU Fall Eiver, Mass--The Fall Biver Line freight steamer Boston arrived at her pier ill this city about 9 a. in., three hours late, having stopped to res* eiig the crew of the Centrat Vermont I Railroad freighter Mohawk, which th£ I Boston overtook, on fire, in Long Island Sound in the iiight, fTlie Bostoii brought twenty-seven persons from .the , Mohawk, including twenty-five of the Crervr and two women, wives of officers of the Mohawk. Andrew Larsen, the night watchman of the steamer, a. Swede, was lost. As he was the per­ son who should have discovered thd fire, and as no report from him was received by the officers of the ship, it is supposed that he was overcome by . the flames and burned to death. The members of the crew remained In Fall . River only .a short time, taking a train I for Providence. The captain of tho : Boston gives the following account of th.S disaster: . The Boston came iip with the Mo­ hawk at 1S.45 o’clock in the moruing; about a inile east of Cornfield. Th* Mohawk was then about an hour’s run from New London, her usual terminus on the eastward trip. The Mohawk Was stopped and was burning furious­ly forward. She signalled the Boston, which ran up as close as possible and stood by to give assistance. A boat containing two women and some mem­ bers of the crew put oitf from the Mo­hawk almost immediaKly after the Bostsft’s arrival, and tiie two Women werfi piiiCed safe oii board the Fall Riv­ er line boats The boat crew which had cbme 16 Uie Bostoii put back at once. Ail hour iater, driven by the spreading of the flames, the Mohawk’s crew : abandoned the burning vessel and ' reached the Boston in two boats. A* they drew away it was seen that the Mohawk was ablaze from end to end, and shortly after they had reached the Boston a heavy explosion occurred ou the Mohawk, which lifted the deck. The smokestacks flew upward, fol­ lowed by a burst of flame and dense columns of black snioke. Then the flames leaped tip tfi a gveat height and cdntiiiued burning fiercely. It was ap­ parent that no farther purpose would bo served if the -Boston remained by, and she resumed her course for Fall River. I The Mohawk's men said that the fire was discovered by those in the pilot house shortly after midnight. It was pretty well forward, and the crew were at once sent to their stations to fight the flames. The great heat, however, prevented them from getting close to the blase, Which spread and steadily drove back those who opposed it until the entire vessel was doomed. As the night watchman was the person who should have discovered the fire, and as no report from him was received by the officers of the ship, it is believed that he attempted to quench tbe flames and was overcome arid burned to death. The Mohawk’s ciu'go, it was said here, was one of the heaviest in months. It included nearly 1000 bar­ rels of sugar, a large quantity of baled rags, besides oil and gasolene. Those who were on board of her were unable to estimate her value or to approxi­ mate the value of her cargo. FATAL COLLISION ON THE ERIE. Milk Train Crashes Into Caboose.

Some people seem to .get on very well with those things for awhile, and Mother Nature apparently cares but little what they do. Terhaps she has no particular plans for them and thinks it little use to vraste time in their training. There are people, however, who seem to be selected by Nature to “do things.” The Old Mother expects them to carry, out some department of Iier great work. A portion of these selected ones oft ond again seek to stimulate and then deaden the tool (the bodj) by some one or more of the drugs—Whis­ key, Tobacco, Ooffet*, Tea, Morphine, etc. You know all of these throw down the same class of alkaloids in Chemical aualysis. They stimulate and then de­ press. They take from man or woman the power to do his or her best work. After these people liave drugged for a time, they get a hint, or mild “whack” to remind them that they have work to do» a mission to perform, and should be about the business, but are loafing along the wayside and become uniitted for the fame and fortune that waits for them if they hut stick to (he course and keep the body clear of obstructions so it can carry out the behests of the mind. . „ Sickness is a call *to / ‘come up high­ er.” Theso- hints come in various forms.

PiJRtJ&A is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Ivetters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the tneriU of Peruna a» a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State of the Union.Dr. Hartman is receiving hundred.? of such letters daily. 4 AU classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pcruna is the ca­tarrh remedy of the age.Tbe .stage and rostrum, recognizing ca­tarrh as their greatest enemy, are espe­cially enthusiastic in their praise and tes­timony.Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to chcat catarrh of its victims. Perunan’-itonly citrescatarrh, but prevents it. Evei'y household should oe supplied wtih this (treat remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The ex-Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it contin- ually in the house.

The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold.Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments.This is exactly what every other family in the United States shoit’d do—keep Pe­runa in the house. Use it for coughs, co:ds, 'a grippe and other- climatic «ffect:ons of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. .

A novel enterprise, that of raising dishrags, is being exploited by a num­ ber of Soutbern California horticultur­ ists, who received the inspiration for the scheme from Charles Kichardson, whose gardens in Pasadena are be­ coming famous for their remarkable productions. Hr. Richardson has sue* 'cessfully raised many growths new to American soil, and this year is ex­ ceeding all his previous triumphs by raising thousands of dishrags. X^ast year Mr. Richardson’s string beans, which measured forty-three inches in length, created a stir, but dishrag .vines, which, with their pendent dish­ rags, twine about orange trees, palms, evergreens and peach trees, and peek Jn at the second story windows, bid fair to win the championship from the beans. These dishrags, or vegetable sponges, as they are sometimes called, are indigenous to Africa, but now that it has been demonstrated that they will thrive in this country, they are bound to become a popular produc­ tion. The seed look like a cucumber, but when ripe the s/.ell is broken and a sponge disclosed.
