DURHAM HONORED AGAIN.

Honors come to Durham thick and
fast.
Only a short time ago the National
party in National convention assem-
bled. nominated James H. Southgate
for Vice President of the United States.
A little later, and the Populist State
convention, in session at Raleigh, NOM
mated Mai. w. a. Guthrie for the high
Office of Governor. Last Friday the
Prohibition State convention, in ses-
sion in Greensboro, nominated another
of Durham's worthy citizens, Thomas
NJ. Stevens, for Lieutenant Governor.
Durham is proud of these honors,
and lifts her hat to the various conven-
tions for the honors they have seen fit
to thrust upon her.
But this is not all. But for the posi-
tive and unequivocal refusal of another
of Durham's distinguished citizens
to permit his name, he would have been
nominated for Governor, and, what is
more, elected.
What is the fellow going to do about
it who is anxious to pleaseal his neigh
bors. Won't he have to vote a mixed
ticket, though. Southgate, the Nation
alist, for Vice-President; Guthrie, the
Populist, for Governor; Stevens, the
Prohibitionist, for Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor.
The voter who undertakes this job
certainly won't know where he is at
when he gets through.

RIGHT AND LEFT

Paralyzing blows are being dealt at
disease by the great tonic and regula-
tor, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Fever
and ague, general debility, rheuma-
tism, nervous ailments, constipation
and dyspepsia, are among the maladies
for which experience has proved it
specific. It's work is thorough, 10 eff
fects are prompt. 1t is not, however,
advertised to produce immediate cures,
though it affords speedy relief, and
will, if given a reasonable trial, such
as any standard remedy deserves, root
out the maladies to which it is adapted
In emergencies arising in families, it
is particularly serviceable, and it is es-
teemed throughout the land as a medi-
cine of comprehensive uses, wholesome
vegetable composition and unobjec-
tionable flavor. 1t has risen to popu-
larity by purely Legitimate means, and
only well substantiated facts are al
legged in regard to it. Use it systemati-
cally.

coming more and more popular. A this

OF balancing themselves on the slender steel
runners or who are not quite sure of them
selves may have undisputed possession
OF the floor.
In addition 10 the services of the efficient
corps OF instructors, the lower end of the
hall has been roped off much as bathing
beach is roped off, for the benefit OF those
who cannot swim. AT this end of the hall
the beginner can take hold of good, stout
rope, and can speedily make excellent
headway without the aid of anyone.
In connection with the conveniences for
the patrons of the ice palace Eientio might
well be made of the skate Logs who save
skaters an endless amount of trouble in
putting on and taking Off skates. They
are always on hand and are always ready
to render the slightest service.
The afternoon session was crowded yes
terday, while the ice never was in better
condition. The putting in OF new valves
has eliminated the small defects which ex-
listed last week and the continual freezing
has made the surface as smooth as glass.
The ice was also crowded last evening

SAYS SHE KILLED A MAN.
Alleged Confession of II Woman May
Clear Up a Mystery.

Pittsburg, Jan. 16.-LiZzie Davidson.
arrested at Steubenville. Ohio, for drunk
enneSs, made Il statement To the polcc tuprt.
yesterday which may clear up a murder
mystery of twelve years standing in Pitts
burg. The woman says sne murdered Ed
ward Simpson in Il building at Garrison u ve-
nue. and Liberty street i'll tins city. Owing
TO the age OF the case. the police have little
definite information about 1t.
Edward Simpson was found dead in a
building at the location given on a winter
morning just about twelve years ago. Ac-
cording to w. II. Robinson. a detective,
Simpson had cuts on the head, which had
apparently caused his death. The build
ing in which he was found was partly occu-
pied by women. one of whom, il was thought,
had struck Simpson with u water pitcher,
fracturing his skull
AT the coroner's inquest an attempt was
made to establish this theory, but several
witnesses swore that Simpson had received
the fatal cuts by falling down stairs. In
the absence of evidence to the contrary,
no arrests were made and the case was
dropped.
The confession of the Davidson woman,
while doubtful, may clear up this mystery.
