Taken Home by Force.

A man came here from Monroe yes
terday, hunting for his sister-in-law,
whom he had located in this city. Some
time ago the young girl ran away from
her home in Monroe, and came to this
city. Here she fell into bad ways and
begin a career of shame.
Her people found out that she was in
Raleigh and her sisters husband came
here to take her from her surroundings
and carry her back to her home and
people.
When he asked her to return to her
people, she refused to go under any con
ditions. He could not by persuasion in
duce her to return home with him. So
he had her arrested on a charge of steal
ing her sisters hat. And the law laid
its hands upon her.
On the Seaboard train yesterday after
noon she was carried to Monroe, in the
custody of her brother-in-law

MEASLES AT THE "PEN.'
Campbell of Madison is the State

Campbell of Madison is the State
Prisons Jonah.
Campbell is Jonah.
This is not Campbell of Cherokee, the
great and only Hoola Boom. 1t is Camp
bell of Madison. the Man With the
Razor, not to speak of the measles.
CAMP bell is a convict and occupies a
berth that is not soft, at the State Pen.
He is the Madison county desperate who
wss caught in South Carolina sometime
ago. While being brought to the peni-
Tertiary Campbell had desperate fight
with his guards. BY some means he
had secured razor. In the fight, with
the razor he cut a link of the galvanized
chain that bound him, and jumped from
the moving train. The cars were stop
ped and after quite chase, he was
caught. He was then brought safely to
Raleigh, and put in superintendent
Leazar's care.
But Campbell's career did not end
here.
When prisoners are admitted to the
State prison they are examined by a
physician, and are asked If they have re-
Gently been in contact with any contagi-
Gus disease.
Campbell was examined, as all the
others are, and didn't seem to have any
disease that was catching"
But few days latter he raised we'll
developed case of measles. Before the
penitentiary authorities knew it he was
suffering from the disease, he bad
''passed it on" to a number OF the other
inmates. And since that time there has
been steady little epidemic of measles
within the high walls Of the prison.
Only ten or dozen convicts have
been afflicted at any one time. But the
rulers in prisondom don't know where
il will break out next.
They are not sending any convicts to
the camps az Weldon now, where they
are much needed. They are afraid
that some one in the transported garg
will carry the measles into the farm
camps and start an epidemic that
might take months to check.
Conyicts are rolling in now in numbers
from the autumn courts. In one day a;
many as twenty-one were added to the
roll.
The prison is now uncomfortably full
there being about $50 convicts in tht
''pen
But Oampbell's measles are keeping
them in the walls.

Mr. Voorhees,, who is a personal friend
of Mr. Plants walked over to the car,
and greeted the express magnate.
Voorhees, asked Plant about the rumOrs
regarding the Seaboard Air Line and
the Winders.
Mr. Plant said that a syndicate had
beenEformed, and the Winders and their
friends had secured control of the Rob
inscn interest in the system. He spoke
of the statements published in the
northern papers to that effect, and cor
rObOrated them.
This is the story as it came to us.
So many 'rumors' are floating around
nOws-a-days that one hardly knows when
he tumbIes on fact in railroad 'news.
A gent eman who is intimate with
railroad officials said last night that he
hardly thought it probable that the
Winders were making any tempt to
control the system. But" he added;
''where there is so much smoke there is
likely to be some fire."
A railroad man said yesterday, 81

rumors about big fight between Mr.
Winder and Mr.. St John. don't think
either gentleman had anything TO do
with starting such rumOrs."

director in the S6aboard Air Line, thinks
there will be no serious opposition to St
John at the meeting in Portsmouth the
latter part of this month.

kinley and Harrison were the only men
mentioned in connection with the candi-
dacy. Allison was then added to the list,
and subsequently Morton's name was put
on. Within the past week or two stories
have appeared that Pennsylvania is GO

The fruit crop OF the middle and eastern
states was badly damaged by frosts on
Saturday and Sunday nights. when the
thermometer dropped to about thirty de-
grees. The story starts in at Wisconsin
and the various chapters have striking
similarity as told in Indiana. Iowa, Ohio,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and
New England states. There were killing
frosts everywhere. The vineyards and
peach orchards were especial suffers while
small fruits and vegetables were ruthless
ly cut down. While sympathizing with
our eastern friends in their misfortune it
will be one more of many arguments adj
vanced to promote immigration to and
settlement of the fertile lands of Central
Washington. and the Yakima valley in
particular. where genial climate, pro-
ductive soil and irrigation are the best in
surance against failure.

Blixt, who confessed to having murder
ed Miss Cling at Minneapolis, while under
the hypnotic influence Of Harry Hay
ward, has been sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. Although the status of
hypnotism has not been definitely estab-
ished by court rulings it has been upheld
sufficiently to make weak accomplices to
crime grasp at it in an effort 10 escape
from the responsibility of their acts. The
law can know nothing of such influences
and should only recognize acts and con-
spring which lead to said acts. The es-
cape OF Blixt from the gallows was not
due to his plea of loss of volition through
hypnOtism but to the assistance which
his confession gave to the prosecution.

A LEADER AND A GUIDE.

Secretary Morton has written an open
letter on the silver question, which is an
admixture in equal parts of overawing
self confidence and lamentable igno-
rance. Mr.. Morton confidently puts
the old "yardstick" imbecility as
an unanswerable argument, when
all the world knows that his infam-
Gus gold yardstick is now about two yards
long, and that it never was measure OF
value, strictly speaking, at all. The peo-
pie are heartily sick Of having their goods
and labor measured by the gilded fraud ;
and to rub it in is adding insult to injury.
He also asserts that the cause, the sole
cause, Of the depreciation of silver is the
enormous over-production of that noble
but unfortunate metal. We would COM
mend to his careful attention page 442 OF
the coinage laws of the United States.
He will find there the following facts,
with figures to prove them:
l. The total production OF silver be-
tween 1871 and 1891 relatively to gold is
little more than half what it was during
the three hundred years preceding the
California gold discoveries.
2. The fuctuation of the silver supply
between 1915 and 1892 has been less than
that of gold.
3. The amount of silver money added
to the worlds supply for the twenty years
since 1892 has been neither absolutely
nor proportionately as large as the amount
OF gold money added to the worlds sup
ply during the preceding twenty years.
There are other facts in the Invaluable
volume just quoted from, knowledge of
which should raise blush to the ingen-
ious countenance OF this teacher of the
people.
Judging from his article Secretary Nor
ton is the worst mixed up man in America
on the date Of demonetization. How
long, o Lord. howlong?
