Private Diseases.

Under this head we have had eX-
traordinary success. The large
number Of such cases coming to us
and the expressions of delight in
getting relief so quick and safe, are
remarkable. Specific Blood Poison
(Syphilis) can be entirely eradicat-
ed from the system, and our treat
ment of this terrible disease will
cure every durable case, and the
results we are having are proof
enough. In Unnatural OFF Diseased
Discharges a treatment is used
that is new, and is in fact the One
rational treatment for this distress
ing trouble. We have cured cases
with this treatment that have
been treated in the East, West,
South and North, and have tried
doctors and patent medicines al
most without limit, besides having
years of suffering and waste OF
money and time. Remember, this
is an entirely new treatment, and
is not used by any other specialist
or physician in the country.
1t will pay you to see us il you
are suffering from any of the above
troubles.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
A Really First Glass Musical Farce
Comedy.

Last night, on which IA Rail-
road Ticket" appeared at the
Grand, was a beastly one for
theater goers and as con sequence
there was slim attendance, but
that was all that was slim about it,.
This company is an all round good
one, and are in fact a job lot of
fun dispensers. To call the names
of those who did really good work
would be to call the bead-roll Of
the company itself. To attempt a
resume of the clever things that
were said and done would necessi-
tate going over the entire perfor-
nance. Those who desire this can
get it at first hands, as the com.
pany repeat their performance at
matinee and this evening. Those
who love farce-cOmedy pure and
simple, with much that is good in
vocalization will enjoy sitting out
a night with ga Railroad Ticket"

He Ate the Evidence.
New York Sun,

New York Sun.
The reason F. r. Ellis, of Brook
Ign, didn't appear as complainant
against Frank f. Breen in Jeffer-
son Market Police Court yesterday
was because Breen had eaten his
evidence. About year ago Breen,
who lives at 227 East Sixty.ninth
street, passed a bogus check for a
small amount on Ellis. Ellis met
him on Saturday night and called
a policeman. Then he produced
the bogus check and said to Breen ::
"What are you going to do about
that matter?"
"Let's see the paper" said Breen.
Ellis handed the check to Breen,
who coolly chewed it up and swal-
lowed it.
"There," he remarked, you'll
have to collect your evidence with
a stomach pump"

THE COOK GANG AGAIN,
THEY HOLD UP ATR AIN AND ROB
THE PASSENGERS.
Tried Dynamite on the Express Car
but Failed to Work It-Tele-
graphs for Troops.

WAGNER, I. T., Nov. 16.-Not-
withstanding the large force of United
States Marshals and Indian police
that have been surrounding the Cook
gang OF outlaws and pressing them
bard, the gang Tuesday night held up
a Missouri, Kansas and Texas train,
at Wybank, blind siding, IL miles
South of Wagner.
When the train was side-tracked
the engineer and fireman, seeing the
bandits, stopped the train and took to
the woods, so that the robbers were
unable to use them in forcing the
messenger to open the express car.
The gang placed dynamite on the
trucks of the express and baggage
cars. Five sticks of dynamite were
exploded, but only resulted in blowing
holes in the bottom of the car.
One Of the gang then entered the
smoking car, while three stood on
each side of it and kept up constant
fusilade with their revolvers. The
robber in the sm oker called for vol
unteer TO hold the sack. No one was
willing, and the robber, leveling his
gun on young man from Indiana,
seated near the front end of the car,
said:
You better throw your wad into
this sack, then take the sack and pass
it along, and if you don't do it quick
I'll kill you, damn you.''
The young man begged for mercy,
crying that he would do anything if
the robber would not shoot. The
robber with his gun, and the young
man in advance, passed down the car,
| rybody but the women contribut-
| ing literally. The robber was not sat
| istfed, however, shouting that not
enough watches were coming in, and
| turned over the cushions of every seat,
where he found many hidden watches.
! Having passed through all the cars,
| the sleepers included, with parting
volley the robbers left, taking the
| young man with them. A few min
utes later the passenger returned, sta
ting that the robbers had taken him
d quarter of mile aud then turned
! him loose.
Il was hard matter to find the en-
| gineer and fireman even after the
robbers had gone, as they were afraid
| of a sudden return of the gang. The
| train was delayed an hour. All the
windows were shot out and the sides
of the cars were riddled with bullets.
Seven men were engaged in the hold
| up, and they were undoubtedly led by
Bill Cook, Cherokee Bill and "Dyna.
| mite Dick"
The robber passing through the Car
| is described as being large portly
man with ruddy complexion, blue eyes
| light hair, and wearing false chiL
| beard, with 40 mask

atorship.
From the Greensboro Record, Nov, 16
The Senatorial pot is surely boiling
to a Sizing point. Bishop J. J. Mott
is paying his first diocesan visit to the
brethren; and from his appearance
one would judge he is satisfied with
the beatific condition of the faithful.
Having viewed the parishes of Loge
Barris, Chief High Priest Butler, and
the legal construer of divine political
statutes, Judge Russell, DR.. Mott last
night dropped in at the Benbow and
exchanged friendly salutations with
High Priest Holton. Whether they
sat up with each other all night or
not the public are not advised. At
all events they were together late last
night and early this morning. DR..
Mott took the train for Statesviile
and looked contented and at peace
with himself and the rest of the lead
ers of all factions.
Mr.. Zeb WalSer must some way have
found out that DR.. Mott was here.
The morning train brought him from
Lexington, and at last accounts he
was laying down the law to the lead
ers.
There is great time on hand. This
Senatorial question will be the rock
on which PupulistS and Republicans
may spit. The national Democrats
it seems want two Populists from this
/. State su as to prevent the Republi-
cans from organizing the Senate.

TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
The President Not Likely to Call tn
New Congress Together.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-Already
the triumphant Republicans are be-
ginning to claim that an extra session
of the Fifty-fourth Congress should be
called by the President. Those who
are lOudest in their demands for the
early inauguration of the new reign
of Car Reed appear to have a very
clouded idea OF why the Fifty-fOurth
Congress should not wait until its
regular meeting in December, 1895,
but their lack of sound argument for
an earlier meeting only adds to the
yehemence of their plea, 1t is not at
all likely that President Cleveland
Will be anxious to bring the victorious
Republicans together any sooner than
the law provides. He has been in the
habit OF complaining about having
Congress on his hands. even when the
majority was a Democratic one, and
he Is not likely to bring the 'Republi-
can hosts together to make trouble
for him in the third year of his Ad-
miniSUrdtiOn.
The few leaders of the Senate and
House who are in the city seem to Ee
OF the emphatic opinion that neither
House of the FifGy-fourth Congress
will meet until the first Monday in
December, 1895. If the Republicans
were sure of organizing the Senate
they would desire an extra session.
but wing 30 the uncertainty as to
what the Populists will do they will
be ready enough to postpone the fight

Particulars of the Great Calamity on
the Northwest Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10 -Advices
oy the steamer Peru give particulars
of the recent earthquake in Japan.
Sdkata, town on the Northwest
coast, suffered most severely. The Sc
ismic force was exercised chiefly in a
vertical direction, and its effects were
exceptionally disastrous.
Houses tumbled down before their
inmates could escape The ground,
tfsSured in many places, poured out
muddy water which converted the
streets into rivers, and the horror of
the calamity was accentuated by "A fire
that broke out at thirteen points
simultaneously and destroyed 1900
houses in two hours. The houses were
actually swallowed up, and one veal
thy merchant had forty-eight ware
houses burned.
In one house family of seven per-
sons were crushed to death; in another
nine met similar fate. A group of
terrified citizens who had taken ref
uge at the base Of a colossal bronze
vase, standing in front of the town
hospital, were killed by the fall of the
vase.
Altogether three hundred people
were killed and two hundred wounded

From the Salisbury Herald
A fatal accident occurred at the
home of Mr.. William Eller, near Trad
ing Ford, about o'clock;Saturday af-

Charlie, II years of age, were the par
ties connected with the tragedy. Bob
