whistled past his face, while the powder
burned his cheeks. Not desiring to argue
the point, further, the now thoroughly
frightened engineer took to his heels and
lost no time in increasing the distance
between himself and his assailants. The
thugs did not follow or again shoot at
their intended victim, fearing to attract

positively stated, upon the authority of
private advices from Canton, that Presi.

Perry s. Heath as private secretary. As
James Boyle, who has been McKinley's
secretary ever since the latter was inau-
gurated Governor of Ohio in 1892. is de-
sirous to go abroad, he, it is said, leaves
the field, and Mr.. Heath remaining unop-

probably will be sent to Bradford as Con-

GRAND RECEPTION TO GOV. RUSSELL

A Brilliant Social Event In Honor OF
The States New Chief Executive.
One of the most brilliant, social
events that ever occurred in the
Capital city of the State was a recep-
ton given to Governor and Mrs.
Russell On Tuesday evening by the
CAPITOL CLUB, the chief social Or
ganization of the city. The mem
bers of the club are the leading citi-
zens of Raleigh, and they gave their
best efforts to making the occasion
pleasant and successful, and their
success was gratifying even beyond
their most sanguine hopes.
Over 400 invitations had been is
sued and nearly everybody VINO re-
ceived an invitation went. The
guests included the new Governor
and State officers, the members OF
the Legislature and large number
of visitors, who are in the city, be-
sides the members of the club. ~
The reception began at and
lasted until II o'clock. From 10 tc

by about sixty couples, comprising
the grace and gallantry of the Ole

Ii is d.fiicalt. almost impossible,
10 overesiimate the Importance of
recent advance in medicine and
surgery.
Ia surgery there is the application
Of the h-ray in de,erming compiled

In medicine there is the serum
treatment for germ diseases, and
more important still, the extended
use of Paine's celery compound in
the treatment OF the many diseases
that arise from faulty or impaired
nervous system.
This class Of ailment causes more
suffering and earlier deaths than all
others, and that is why so much
public prominence was given 10
Paine's celery compound when its
discovery was first announced by
Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth college
The rapid and sure way that
Paine's celery compound cures neu-
ralgia, rheumatism and nervous de.
bility is marvellous even in the eyes
of this woodworking quarter of
the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary 10
natural laws, whereas the remark
