Little Charley Fogleman Used Tobacco Since Rabyhood, and His Father Smoked and Chewed for the Past Twenty Years.

Asheville, N. C., April 1S.-(Special.)- 'fS that true?' asked the News man at Pelham's Pharmacy as he laid down letter in the presence of a dozen inter- ested customers.
 Yes, 1t is promptly answered the proprietor Tt was written here on one of our letterheads and signed by J. c. Fogleman, who lives at No 5 Buxton street. We all know he is man of his word.''
 This is what the letter said:
 Office of Pelhams Pharmacy, 24 Pat ton avenue, Asheville, N. C.-Gentle- men: My little boy. now years, began chewing tobacco when years old by the advice of our family physician, in the place of stronger stlmulants. Four weeks ago I began giving him No-To- Bac, which I bought at Pelham's Phar- macy, and to my great surprise and de- light No-to-Bac completely cured him. He does not care for tobacco and is very much improved in health, eats heartily and has a much better color.
 Finding such results from the use of No-ToBac, I began myself, and 1t cured me after using tobacco in all forms for twenty years.
 I make this plain statement for the benefit of others.
 (Signed J. c. FOGLEMAN.
 Whats that?" asked Chief of Police H. s. Hawkins, whose manly form, otliieu III Lie HeW pOllce uHl1O1In, like Solomon in all his glory, came to the door.
 Why, No-To-Bac cures!"
 Cures? Why, I should say so. used it myself It cured me. I bought one box of No-To-Bac from Pelham and was cured after using tobacco-chefly chew ing-for eight CS) or ten Q0) years.'
 Everybody looked astonished and won dered what would next turn up.
 Suppose it doesn't cure?" some one asked.
 'Then you get your money back" re- piled the druggist "No-To-Bac Is made by the Sterling Remedy Co.,, Chicago, Montreal and New York, and every druggist in America is authorized to sell No-To-Bac under an absolute guarantee to cure or money refunded. They always do the square thing. Here, read their famous booklet Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke your Life Away" Written guar antee and free sample mailed for the asking.

The people of Perry, Oklahoma, are not adding lustre to their reputation by the warlike attitude which they have assumed in relation to the question of permitting negro children to attend the public schools. Under the constitu- tion of the United States negroes are citizens, and their children are entitled to all the rights and privileges of white children. The public schools are as open to them as the palest blonde. The Oklahomans would do well to re- member that the negro's color does not rub off. There is no possibility that white children will soil their clothing by contact with their ebony brethren. In Oklahoma, as elsewhere, the stand ing of children, as of men, should de- pend upon conduct rather than color.

OHIO IS REDEEMED.

Grand old Ohio is redeemed. Not only does another stalwart Republi- can succeed Major Mckinley in the office of governor, but one of the three Democratic United States senators from the state of New York, nominally representing Ohio, has been retired to private life and succeeded by the bril- liant and magnetic Republican, Joseph B. Foraker. Ohio's cup of satisfac- ton ought to be about full, but she is probably counting on having a few swallows added next summer.
 Calvin s. Brice is personally entitled to great credit for having raised him. self from indigence to vast wealth. Any man who becomes multi-mil- lionaire, starting penniless, is deserv- ing of credit and there is nothing to show that MT Brice did not get his money honestly. But politically, Cal win s. Brice is legitimate object Of adverse criticism. He stands for that which is most undesirable in Ameri- can politics, the unblushing enlistment of great wealth in the cause of per- sonal ambition. He was not elected to the United States senate because he is endowed with qualities which es- pecially fit him for that high office. He has been mentioned" for the pres idency simply because he is possessed of what is popularly denominated a ''barI." Ostensibly representing Ohio he was to all intents and purposes a citizen of and senator from New York.
 Senator Foraker is in every way qualified to be worthy associate of his distinguished colleague, MT. Sher- man. Ohio at last gains a senator, for she has practically had but one for these six years past.

HOW MILLIONS ARE LOST.

Few people have any well-def1ned idea of the annual losses in this coun- try from defalcations by men in public and private positions of responsibility and trust. During the year just past is seems that these defalcations reach ed total of over ten million dollars!
 Large as this sum was and incredible almost as it is that men entrusted with the money and confidence of others should steal over ten millions of such funds in one year, the total for 1895 was not half that for the preceding year! In 1894 the embezzlements and defaults amounted to over $25 ,000 O0O! The analysis of the amount last year shows that funds were lost by cities and counties amounting to &, ,468, ,686; taken from banks by employees, $2,- 17S,O0O, in round numbers; through agents, $1,2O9,7O5; through frauds of various kinds and forgeries, S1 900 in round numbers; from loan associa- tions, $137 AS; by postmasters, S27,- COY, and miscellaneous, $2,4S7, APO. It is hardly possible that this covers all the moneys so lost last year, but only comprises the important cases reported in financial circles and police statis- tics.
 These figures show an alarming con- dition of public affairs; but so long as incompetent and venal men are se-

LET US HAVE IT.

From Santa Fe comes the story that some of the Democratic officials in ''the ancient have preferred charges against Collector Shannon, passing them upon the fracas in the Arcade saloon with Gov. Thornton, week ago. Now, if MT. Shannon will turn around and prefer charges against Gov Thorn ton for the action, there would be some fun ahead-Las Vegas Optic.
 Why doesn't the Governors Own, at Santa Fe, give us the truth about that fight, and let the public know how it came out. It has been currently re- ported here that Shannon knocked out the governor in the second round, but we don't propose to believe it. We have been betting on Thornton, and we don't intend to give up the stakes upon any idle rumor. And besides, New Mexico has had bad things enough said about her already without being subjected to the additional humiliation of having it reported over the world that her chief executive was licked by a common federal collector. We don't take any stock in that yarn, and until we get the statement direct from off, cial sources we shall continue to be- lieVe that the governor licked him. Albuquerque Citizen.
 Collector Shannon is one of the most popular men in Arizona and his numer- ous friends in this territory are betting on Shannon. We refuse to believe that New Mexico's little one-horse terri torial governor would frighten him in the least. Arizona will stand by Shan non in this contest.

If the statehood bill passes let it be understood that the new state will send silver men to the senate and to congress. There should be no misrep- resentation in the matter. Arizona is as solidly for silver as Nevada or Colo rado, and it is waste of time to pre- tend anything else. The senators from Arizona may be Republicans or they may be Democrats, but in either event they will be men who are reliably for silver and who have never given cause for suspecting that they were tainted with gold bug ideas.

It is impossible to imagine more striking instance of Satan rebuking sin than is presented in the case of a local paper which has built up and fattened for years on jobs put through at the expense of the taxpayers, now piously charging somebody else with being actuated by mercenary motives.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Denver Republican,: The govern ment ought to recognize the belliger- ency of the Cuban insurgents. The plea that recognition should be delayed because it might defeat claims for dam ages by Americans against Spain, on account of sugar plantations destroyed, is not worthy of this government. It elevates the commercial side of the proposition too much. If the insur- gents are entitled to recognition they should receive it regardless of the claims of American sugar planters. The United States is bound to encour- age the establishment of republican in stitutions in the Western hemisphere, and to fail to do so for sordid reasons is dishonorable.
 San Francisco Bulletin: The mar velous celerity with which the insur- gents retreat from Havana is equaled only by the marvellous celerity with which they come back just as soon as General Campos lets go of thetelegraph wire. Small wonder there is talk of the insanity of the Spanish General. A foe that will not stay beaten or stay anywhere, excepting where he does not want him, is enough to drive daft a much abler commander than the man who is leading the Spaniards to the sure loss of the Queen of the Antilles.
 San Francisco Bulletin: A London paper says that war between the Unit ed States and England would be a crime against civilization. Civiliza- tion, however, has become somewhat accustomed to that sort of crime.
 San Francisco Bulletin: The Nor ton boom is said ito be expanding in New York Governor Morton, by the way, has given his Indiana friends to understand that he is too old to run for president.
 Tucson Citizen: The Arizona Ga zette says that the Republican party of Arizona is all torn to pieces by faction fights, but that the Democrats are trot- ting along in double harness. This may all be 50, but there is a strong sus- picion that the Democratic team is badly in need of kicking straps.
 
 Tucson Star: Col Fred Crocker's visit to Phoenix last week, brought him in contact with pretty much all the business interests of the capitol city as we'll as those of the Salt River valley. He was much pleased with the result of his observations and the people were equally well pleased with Col. Crocker for they discovered in him a business | and railroad man who believes in the I possibilities of Arizona, and who has the financial courage and business foresight to help the people in their struggle for the upbuilding of the ter ritory. The Star is pleased to note these facts for we have always claimed Col. Fred Crocker as one of Arizona's best friends.

ball.
Lackawanna forced the ball to mid
field at the outset of the game, but
lost 1t on downs. and Hillman, by q
series of short rushes carved it back
and over the goal for a touchdown,
despite a grand resistance at the five
yard line by the Lackawanna' on
the second Kickoff Lackawanna got
the ball on downs on Hillman's 40-yard
line, and held 1t within few yards
of Hillmap's goal when time was called.
a few more minutes play would un-
doubtedly have netted u touchdown
for Lackawanna.
When the second half opened up
Lackawanna went at the Hillman line
again, and this time succeeded in car
rying the ball over. Cleary making the
final dive. Hillman took brace af-
ter this. and worked the ball steadily
down the field just as Lackawanna
had done. and without losing the ball
made touchdown but failed in the
goal. The game ended with the score
10 to 6.
