DANGER OF HAVING A DouRLE.
Marrow Escape of an Innocent Man from
Conviction for Felony.

Marrow Escape OF an Innocent Man from
COnvictiOn for Felony.
1t is sometimes very unpleasant and
even dangerous to look like another
person. A friend of mine, who is en-
gagged in the practice of law, told me
of a singular instance where too strange
resem blance got client in trouble.
A young man was arrested, charged
with burglary. He had been surprised
while in the sleeping room of the head
of the family, and had escaped by jump
ing through a window. He was pur-
sued, but got away. Two hours later
my friends client, a stranger in the
town, was arrested. The man and
his wife, who saw him, positively idep-
titled the young man, as did those who
joined in the pursuit. To his attorney
he persisted in protesting his innocence,
but could not account for himself at
the time the offense was committed,
except by saying he took long walk
to see the city. The attorney who
at first believed his client to be
guilty, looked up his record and be-
came convinced that the young man
was innocent, but his conviction
seemed a foregone conclusion. One

whom he mistook for his client.
why, how did you obtain bond?'' he
asked.
you are evidently taking me for
some one else.'' was the answer
A bright idea struck the lawyer.
The stranger looked as though he was
in hard luck, and proposition to sit
in the courtroom during the trial was
accepted. The lawyer concealed the
double until the case was called, then
he had the real prisoner sit behind him
where he could not be seen, the ac-
cused being small and my friend quite
large. The double was seated in the
prisoners dock. Every witness identi-
fed the man most positively. and the
prosecuting attorney looked fully sat
isied until the supposed prisoner was
placed upon the stand, and it was
shown that he was not the defendant.
Subsequently convicted burglar
made a confession, and among the
crimes was the one with which my
friends client had been charged. -

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well Informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND signed the
Venezuelan boundary commission bill
on the 21st and it became law.
A REQUISITION on the treasury for
$40, 275, 900 for payment or pensions for
the next quarter was issued on the 21st
by the secretary of the interior.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND sent a mes
sage to congress on the Goth on the de-
pletion of the gold reserve and said
that the only real cure for the recur-
ring financial troubles was a complete
change in our money system, but he
hoped that congress in default of the
inauguration of better system of
finance would not take a holiday re-
cess until it had done something to re-
assure the world that the American
nation was able and determined to
meet every obligation it incurred with
out question.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND on the 10Th
replied to the senate resolution of De-
cember calling for information re-
ceived by the state department re-
specting affairs in Turkey. The re-
Spouse was in the shape of a report by
Secretary Olney recounting all that
had been done to protect American
citizens against the rioters, and after
citing several cases wherein natural
lied Americans had been oppressively
treated stated that proper steps had
been taken to secure indemnity in all
cases.
IT was reported at Washington that
the ministers of Venezuela, Brazil and
Mexico had made significant call on
Secretary Olney and had cabled their
governments that the present time was
opportune for political alliance of all
the republics of the American CONT
nent and that this alliance would con-
stitute a formidable factor in interna-
tional affairs.
COMPTROLLER EcKELs has called for

CAPT ISAAC BASsETT, the venerable
assistant doorkecper of the United

THE formation of a national body
and the adoption of constitution oc-

vention at Washington on the 18th.
The body is to be named the American

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
NEwBERN, N. @.
see with great pleasure the name of
Hon. f. D.. Koonce, of Onslow county,
mentioned in the newspapers in con-
nection with the United States Senator
ship. AS everyone will admit, who
knows Mr.. Koonce, he is a man of
unusual ability and power, a character
without spot or blemish. He is the
the father of the Third party in this
section of North Carolina. When
many of us were actine with the Dem
ocrats or Republicans,Mr. Koonce was
battling manfully for the ideas and
principles advocated by the Third
party. He believes in relieving the
people, and my word for it, if aver he
gets in a position to do SO, he will
bring to them that relief which we
all have go long looked forward to and
hoped to see. He is fully equipped for
the high Office his friends desire to see
him IN, and we all trust the legislature
will do him the justice and itself the
credit to elect him Senator.
Respectfully.
L, J. MOORE.
