Early Morning Blaze.

About 4 O'Clock Wednesday
morning an alarm of fire was
sounded, to which the hose com
pany promptly responded, and in a
lew moments a large number of
people had also assembled. The
hre was found to be in the board
ing house of A. Gallano, on South
superior street, and the flames had
made considerable Roadway before
oteing discovered. Nearly all of
.he furniture was saved, but the
pudding was nearly destroyed. A
Darn owned by Theophile Grenier,
which stood near by, was also
sllghtly damaged. 1t was indeed
fortunate that a strong wind was
NOT blowing at the time, or
doubtless the loss by fire would
nave been great. We understand
.nat the property burned was
partially covered by insurance.

Regarding the baseball tourna-
ment at Houghton the following ac-
count OF the various games is taken
from the Mining Journal of Wednes-
day;
Yesterday afternoon saw the
closing game of the baseball tourna-
ment at the Mining School park.
Baraga won from Houghton, 6 to |,
in the morning, thus tying with
lshpeming for first prize, and the
two clubs met in the afternoon to
settle which should carry off the
championship scalp and incidentally
the 1925 which went with it. The
game was holly contested, and the
nine from the sawmill town won, the
score standing Is to ID in its favor.
This gave Ishpeming the second
prize, $75, and Houghton was
awarded third, $50 The following
is the standing of the clubs:

THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC sKN0WL
EDGE ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause of most of our disease
is simply an inability to digest food.
This induces thinness, weakness, loss
of flesh and fat, loss of vitality, vast
ing away.
Loss Of flesh and vitality means con-
slant liability to sickness. Wasting
away is consumption.
If getting thin is what ails you, there
is only one thing to do-get fat. The
only way to do it is to take something
which will help your stomach and
stimulate it to do it's work
If you are tired our you do not
like to move your legs or arms. if your
stomach is tired it does not like to di-
gest; it cannot do it's work.
To eat. or even to eat with relish
does not necessarily mean that one is
being nourished. Strength, vitality,
and flesh are the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that you need
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. You
would not be getting thin if you could
digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not
only contains artifcially digested food,
but it viii digest other foods in the
stomach.
4 single 10 cent bottle will show
whether or not it is going to meet the
conditinos Of your case. and if so, its
continued use may be depended on to
effect a cure. All druggists keep it in

ASHLEY HORNE FOR TREASURER.

To the Editor: To the qualification
of many Democratic voters in North
Carolina, il is observed that this is a
year in which ''the office is seeking the
man" and this means something.
The eyes of the people, are turned to
business men," this time, since the
financial question has become the all
absorbing topic. The convention that
meets here on the 25th inst has work
before it of greater Importance to the
Democrats of this State than any con-
vention since 1876.
When financial questions like these
are to be discussed in the campaign,
and ticket presented to the voters for
their endorsement, then it is all inn
portant that successful financial bust
ness men, who have been successful in
their own business enterprises should
be placed on the ticket.
For State Treasurer, you need man
of that type, and that man is Ashley
Horne, of Johnston county. Mr.. Horne
is not politician, he is a successful
business man from the country, in
touch with the masses, and the people
want such a man from purely business
reasons, and he win draw votes from
all parties, thereby strengthen and be
credit to the State ticket. He is
quiet and unassuming, smooth in
temper and manners and as gentle and
lovable as woman. AS a business man
he is equalled by few, excelled by none.
His own success has been simply
marvellous, due to his great business
qualifications, and to his very courte-
Gus and kind disposition and politeness
towards ali those with whom he has
business dealings. The lamented
Gov. Fowle said, 1.-The travelling sales
man of North Carolina are a power in
politics they are all Democrats of IN
telligence, well posted, and discuss pol
itical topics in every town in the State;
meeting business men of all grades,
and to them l owe my nomination and
election to a great extent" They all
know and admire Asheley Horne, and
will delight in supporting him. Nom
mate him for Treasurer, and fill up
YOUR ticket with such business men as
he and success to the ticket and the
Democratic party is already assured

anv of these. 1t is the commonest trouble
that human beings suffer from. 1t is SO
common that nine-tenths OF all the sickness
in the world is traceable to it. 1t is merely
that simple, common thing-consnpauon.
There is no telling what it may lead to, but
it is sure to lead to something bad. Its i'm
mediate effects are unpleasant IN the ex-
IRENE. It makes people listless gives
them headaches makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss. OF
sleep, foul breath and distress after eatlng.
All this merely because Nature has Deen
imposed upon, and has Deen refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets One pill is
gentle laxative and two mild cathart1c.
There are two remarkable things about the
"Pellets." One is that they never grippe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently You can take any other
medicine YOU like, as long as you like, and
If voa stop, your trouble will come back
quickly, and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than it was before. This
isn't true of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
You take them until you get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you stop.
You don't have to take any more " Pellets
unless after while you do something that
deranges your digestive system again. We
are not guessing about these facts, ana we
don't ask you to take our unsupported word
for ii. Thousands of people have found
that they are true, and have testified to
them. Let the druggist who says that some
thing else is " just as good sell that some
thing else to somebody else. Don't let him
trihe with your health for the sake of
little more profit to himself.

FOR STATE CHAIRMAN.

To the Editor: The coming campaign
will be one that will require our
strongest and best men to the front.
The Craftsmanship of the State Demo
cratic executive committee is one OF
the most important places to be filled.
Capt. j. w. Granger possesses the
qualifications necessary to fill this
important position. He has been a
member of the State executive COM
mittee for fourteen years. Up to 1884
Lenoir county had always gone Re
publican. In that year he was elected
chairman of the county executive COM
mittee Under his craftsmanship the
county was not only carried over
whelmingly Democratic in that con
test, but for ten years following the
county went Democratic in every cleo
ton, as long as he was chairman.
Capt. Granger is one of the best
organizers in North Carolina. In

THE LAW NEEDS AMENDMENT.
Extradition Proceedings That Work
Great Hardship.

Tazewell. Va, June 22.-(Spe-
tiaI.) -On the first day of February.
J. 500. peddler was murdered
in Tazewell county, Va. a reward
was offered and a detective, Baldwin,
undertook to trace the murderer, sup
posed to be one DOuthit tor Daugher-
ty). into North Carolina. The result
Of his operations was that he swOTe
out a warrent to have Robt. l.. Doug
lass of Iredell county, arrested and
did have him arrested. The Governor
of Virginia issued a requjsition for
DOUGLASS and Governor Carr honored
it and Douglass was about to be sur
rendered to answer the charge. y
habeas corpus was sued out and heard
before Judge Brown, who surrendered
the prisoner to the Virginia authorities
and Douglass was lodged in Tazewell
Jail to answer the charge. The case,
by agreement between the attorneys
for the State and defendant and the
Judge. was set for hearing at TazeWell,
Va, on June Is. 1896. b. f. Long, OF
Statewide. and A. j. May. of Virginia.
are the attorneys of Douglass. On the
day set for trial, Mr.. Long was here
with few of the defendants wit
nesses and urged trial. but the case was
postponed at the instance of the State
attorneys to hunt up new witnesses for
the State. 1t is a case of singular
hardship.
Douglass is a North Carolina boy
and is well connected; there are not
less than fifty witnesses who know
and will swear that Douglass could
not have committed the crime, and
who will fix Douglass in North Caro-
lima beyond all doubt on the day of
the murder here But Douglass is
limited in the number of witnesses he
is able to bring to Tazewell to show
his innocence because of the enormous
expense. If all the fifty witnesses were
brought, his attorneys tell me it would
cost about $500. To bring the ten,
who are here, will cost. with the other
expenses of the trial, from $500 to $500
exclusive of expenses of attorneys
Douglass is himself penniless and his
father in Strengthened circumstances
and this heavy burden falls on a few
friends. His defense. his attorneys say.
is perfect and his innocence beyond a
doubt. The terrible danger is that he
can't get enough witnesses here. The
Virginia laws do not allow a cent for
mileage or per diem of the defendants
witnesses. even if he is acquitted there
is no law TO allow the judge dis
erection about this: the detective and
the commemorative attorney have
about forty witnesses summoned here to
fix this crime on Douglass: the court
Thursday allowed the State until
Monday to bring in more witnesses;
the defendant in the meantime can't
raise the funds to bring his other wit
nesses; some of the ten who were here
were compelled to return to North
Carolina because of the delay
1t is a case that demands amend
ment of the laws as to extradition
Counsel of Douglass are doing all pos
sible TO save him, knowing him to b.
innocent, but they admit that they
have an awful responsibility because
their client is unable TO get but few
of his witnesses here
