Excitement in Vanceboro Over the
Death of Child

VANcEDoRo, July 17.-There is much ex-
citement in Vanceboro over the death OF a
child from malpractice, and a doctor is in
hot water The child was Conductor Bur
pee's, and the Aroo6took Herald claims that
it bled to death as a result of opening small
boil by the doctor, who bunglingly cut
small artery in the operation and left it un-
cared for. The Herald say Competent
medical authorities decide that the sore did
not need lancing, and from all we can learn
it appears to be a case Of criminality stupid
malpractice. A post morteA examination
by several physicians establish the facts as
above stated, and to make it still more ag-
gravated, after the little victim had been
slowly drained Of its life force for twenty
four hours, and Mr.. Burpee, on his arrival
home, checked the flow Of blood, the practI-
toner again visited his victim, and upon
learning what had been done, seemed angry
and said the child must bleed if they would
save its life, put the little one In a warm
bath, started the bleeding afresh, and IN ilVe
hours the child was dead. The little one
had always been healthy, never SICK, ana tne
general impression is that had it been leti
alone, his afflicted parents would not now
| be mourning his untimely death.

Joseph NJ. Miner said that the ameliora-
ton of the working classes must be brought
about by going farther than establishing CO.
operative industries and stores. The arena
of politics must be entered to secure the
redress of existing laws. He was pleased
TO note the remarkable growth of the labor
movement and the interest in 1t that was
being awakened in all classes of society.
Capital is asking, What do you want? The
labor movement now needs cool, competent
leadership. He counseIed caution and con-
servatsm in agitation and the use of power.
A. L. Robinson spoke briefly and ener-
getically. A number of years ago he was
one Of three to organize a Trades
assembly in Cincinnati. 1t grew
rapidly and as result of the efforts of the
organization in that state, a state labor
bureau had been organized, good deal Of
legislation in the interests of labor had been
secured, and at the time of the Hooking
valley riot the governor did not send out
troops because the Cincinnati Trades as
sembly said no. The contract system
should be abolished in this state. and this
and other reforms must be accomplished by
legislation.
a committee consisting of Messrs. Rob-
inson, Miner and Lafayette was appointed
to secure a speaker for next Sunday even
ing, and the meeting adjourned.

anybody's home nor intefere with the con-
sumption of liquor at home, but 1t Is a
crusade against the retailing of liquor.
The prohibitOry law in Iowa is as sublime
a thing as this world has ever seen. The
state according TO statistics is lowest In
point of crime and highest in education.

What crime did not find its birth in sa-
looms? What plotting against this govern
ment did not ORNATE in grog shop? Be-

In conclusion Mr.. Smith proposed for
Minnesota a local option law, so that every
county shall vote on the liquor question
separately; also to have state law, COM

overthrow. And this foe can be destroyed,

STRICT PROHIBITION.
Rev. DIR. Smiths Talk Anent the
Former Dfscuhkinu

In accordance with an announcement
made a week ago. the Rev. 4. G. Smith of
the First Presbyterian church gave his
views last evening on the temperance sub
ject. and discussed somewhat the three
neutrality-suspicious. low license and
high license. The meeting was largely at
tended and the pastor, before opening his
DISCOURSE. read several communications
from leading prohibitiOnists Of Iowa, among
them being one FROM Hon. Hiram Price
of Davenport, who is a staunch temperance
man and Prohibitionist. He stated that
according to the best information he could
receive, the liquor law of Iowa is as much
of a success as any criminal law. In the
large towns the law was not enforced, men
were elected to Office who did not fear God
and would take Oaths which they would
violate at the first opportunity.
Mr.. Smith stated that he had travelled ex-
tensively through the northern part of Iowa
and found it difficult to ascertain what eff
feet prohibition had upon the people. He
said you meet Prohibitionist and he will
inform you that the law is success. while
saloon man will say it is failure

SUNDAY AT THE PALACE.
A. Day OF Quiet--The Festivities
This Week.


A spirit of peace and quiet rested over
the ice palace yesterday. The grounds
were closed to visitors, and the enterprising
small boy, who lodged the guard and
crawled under the gate. saw carnival park
deserted. with the exception of solitary
policeman in a fur coat who wendell his
way about the park as If possessed
with the idea that six days in the week
were not enough for him to labor. Even
the Indian tom-tom was stilled and
the tepees were apparently deserted
save the faint wreaths Of smoke that
curled up from their open apexes. The
crowd of people who hung about the gate
on the previous Sunday had evidently had
their curiosity appeased during the week,
for they were conspicuous yesterday by
their absence, and no ropes had to be
stretched across the street to keep them
away. The hustle and activity which had
characterized the entrance of the park for
the past two weeks on secular days had dis
appeared, and though Samson still at
tempted to ''beard the lion in his den" in
the halls of the castle, he was not disturbed
by spectators, while the Greek slave did not
even present activity enough to satisfy the
vaulting ambition of any solitary Parrha-
sius who might have sneaked into view 1.-THE
captives in the mart" The white bear, pre-
scented by the citizens of that enterprising
burg, presented the anomaly of natural

calm of a Christian Sabbath and silently

The great event Of this week in the
carnival will be Merchants Day." to occur
on Tuesday, when another grand display
of equipages will be made on Third street,
which is intended to far surpass the one of
two weeks ago, and to include many fancy
turnouts from Minneapolis and Saltwater.

Turner Hall Concert.

Nearly every seat in Turner hall was
taken last evening when the opening num-
Der of the ninth concert of the series by
Seibert's orchestra was rendered. 1t was a
piece by Mr.. c. G. Titcomb, entitled lice
Palace" and the announcement of it under
that name on the programs scattered among
the audience caused it to be listened to more
closely than had it had some other name.
The stage was decorated somewhat, row
OF flags and Chinese lanterns being hung
across the top OF the curtain, so that it was
in keeping with the general carnival decor
ations. The concert was one of the usual
order. classic music for the most part exc
cuted in the most finished manner The pro-
gram contained nine selections. which were
so much appreciated by the audience that
