to be a bad egg. It turns cut that the girl with him was not Miss Cropsey, but her case may be quite as sad. The account of the arrest of the man with the three horses was notified in the papers by Mr. J. A.

Butts, proprietor cf a livery stable at Wadley, Jefferson county, and from the description and other circumstances he came to the conclusion that the young man was the one who stole a horse and buggy from him last August. He went cn to Wilson and sure enough Dr. Williams was the man he was looking for. Mr. Butts found out from him that he had sold the horse and buggy to a Mr.

Sidberry, at Edgecombe, a station on the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, and yesterday Mr. Butts came to Wilmington and went on to Edgecombe to recover his property. Mr. Butts says the man with so many names is charged with stealing tnree horses in Georgia, and not only that he stele a pretty young girl seventeen years of age. He stopped at the homo of the young lady's father to stay all night and it was a case of love at first sight.

The girl became infatuated with the young doctor and she would hear to nothing but marriage. The doc tor told the girl's brothers that he was wealthy and that he had $11,000 in his trunk. After he left with their pretty sister the brother broke open the trunk and found in it a lot of old rocks, suspenders and other trash. Dr. Williams, alias Dr.

Wants Damages Because Sunday Excursion was Cancelled. Durham Herald. Rev. L. A.

Woods, colored, has instituted suit against the Southern Railway and the suit W'Ul be placed on docket at the January term of court. The complaint in this case has not been filed as yet and the amount of damages asked for is not known. The plaintiff has filed an affidavit with the clerk of court setting forth the fact that he is a pauper and not able to pay the costs of an action and has been allowed to sue as a pauper. From what can be learned of the case it seems it originated last summer. Wcocls advertised that he was going to run an excursion to Chase City on Sunday but the contract for the train was cancelled by the road.

The excursion was then advertised for the Monday following. There was no crowd and the excursion did not run. Woods claims that he made the contract for the Sunday train in Richmond and in cancelling the contract the road damaged him. The road cancelled the contract because it was found that there was a law against running Sunday ex cursions irom tnis state. Miil Burned.

Winston Journal. Henry Starr's mill on Lick Fork above Old Town was destroyed by fire about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, from indications it is thought to have been a case of incendiarism. Along with the usual contents there were quite a stock of new plows, about 100 bushels of grain and a number of agricultural implements. The total loss will likely exceed 32,500 and there is insurance of only $250. Another policy, for a larger amount was never completed and is not effective.

Starr's mill was built fifty-five years ago and was one of the test known institutions in the county. PLEAD GUILTY. News and Observer. The Federal' Court had a busy day yesterday and many cases were cleared from the docket. Among those arraigned during the day were three counterfeiters, all of whom pleaded guilty.

Two of these are white m6n, John Allen Johnson, and A. T. Lowery. They are "old timers" at the business and having been at it before, it is expected that they will get the limit of the law, which allows the judge to sentence them to from three to ten years. The third to plead guilty was a negro, Will Cunningham, and all are yet to be sentenced.

News and Observer. i The Legislature Examining Committee which met in this city yesterday will investigate the expense of the last General Assembly, the number of employees necessary to conduct the business of the Legislature and report their recommendations to the next General Assembly.

This duty was imposed on the committee by the last General Assembly in an act passed a few days prior to the adjournment. When the committee met here yesterday the members thought that thr-y were only required to pass upon the accounts of the Auditor and the Treasurer. Senator E. Y. Webb called attention to the act of the General Assembly imposing the new duties upon them.

Not only must the committee examine in detail the expense of the General Assembly, but also the number of employees necessary to properly conduct the business of the Assembly and the pay of each. A full report is required to be made to the next Legislature with such recommendations as the committee thinks necessary. In this same bill the Legislature abolished the office of Enrolling Clerk and placed the matter of enrolling bills in the hands of the Secretary of State, who is authorized to employ an assistant for the purpose.

It is Peruna, which has stood a half century test. It has cured thousands of cases of catarrh. Ninety times in a hundred, those who have been cured of catarrh by Peruna thought they had some other disease." The remedy to cure catarrh must be able to reach the mucous membranes. and this is exactly what Peruna does. Peruna operates at the fountain head.

He then stepped around to the side of the buggy but in the meantime Mr.Durham had pulled a gun from his pocket and made the high wayman "hold up." The man protested that all he wanted was to ask for a ride but the first opportunity he got he went into the woods. Mr.

Durham would have arrested the man and carried him to (Jnapel Hill but he was afraid there were others nearby and he was glad to get off as well as he did.

The people who live in low, swampy that Malaria, Fevers and Ague are necessary evils, rney apparently uo not realize that these diseases are slowly but surely sapping their gen eral vitality. These intermittent fevers, malaria, fever and ague, swamp fever, jungle fever, are the most persistent enemies of the hu man race.

If the aggregate of harm they, do could be realized, they would be fought as plagues These diseases are the result of weakness, of poisoned, microbial blood, and it was long ago demon- strated that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic was an absolute specific; a sure cure. It has been conquering and pre rent ing these diseases for nearly half a century. It purifies the blood and drives out the poisons. It has been thoroughly demonstrat ed that the insects which infest new countries and low swampy localities are vehicles for carrying disease germs.

If your blood is pure and healthy you need have little fear of these. But if your blood is bad it is not in condition to resist the poison ous stings, and as a result the germs of disease obtain a footing Harter's Iron Tonic.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in medicines.

This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Kow Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they ire not a secret patent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, although they are sold by all druggists under protection of trademark, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydra stis and mix. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and the mischief. This is the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison, as it ''rentes gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and many other troubles which are called by some other name. often MR. KLTJTTZ INTERVIEWED.

-Salisbury Sun. "I have little fear of the passage of the Crumpacker resolution, which pro poses arbitrarily to reduce representa- tion from the Southern States, nor of the Moody resolution which is aimed specifically at Louisiana, nor do I be- iieve that President Roosevelt is committed to any such legislation," said Mr. Kluttz, yesterday. "The example of Mr. McKinley and the returned good sense between the sections, will, 1 believe, stay any such partisan, sectional action.

"Some such resolution as that 'offered by Mr. Dick, of Ohio, might possibly be adopted with some reason, as 5t includes all the States in a general investigation as to their violations of the 14th amendment, which provides that 'wherever the right of suffrage is denied or abridged except for participation in rebellion or Other crime, the basis of representation shall be reduced in ihe proportion which the number of such male citizens (whose right is so abridged) shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of ago in such This, however, will get the agitator as well as the agitated, for as I pointed out in a speech last session, many of the States have suffrage abridgements which come within the inhibition. Per instance Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Colorado, South Carolina, Mississippi, Wyoming and ethers have educational qualifications as to residence. Rhode Island. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and others have tax Qualifications, while Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire and New Jersey, exclude paupers from the suffrage, all these being in violation cf the 14th amendment, if it is to be literally construed.
