Thirty-One Enlistments Yesterday
Flags on Buildings.
The war fever ragged in Raleigh yester-
day.
1t began Monday night in the Cover
nor's Guard armory, and brisk the wind
and heavy drizZle of the day did not
dampen or cool 1t.
Early in the morning a huge United
States flag was hung out at the entrance
Of the Governors Guard armory to
which was attached placard bearing
the words Recruiting Office" A little
further up the street at the shop of Mr.
George n. Walters was another re-
cruiting station. in charge of Mr.. Fred
Woollcott..
Both Of them did good business. Mr.
Woollcott got fifteen men; and the
Governors Guard got sixteen, as fol
lows:
ALFRED DEBOY. Raleigh.
GEO. T. WEST, Raleigh.
w. a. FROST, Raleigh.

This makes even sixty-fve men now
in the company who are ready ito go
anywhere" Nineteen more fills out the
number required. Several men from
neighboring towns have indicated their
intention of coming in to-day and to-
morrow to enlist. BY tonight Raleigh
military will very likely be prepared for
the Governors call to go into camp.
Another evidence that the war fever
is getting pretty high is the fact that
United States flags are beginning to APP
pear on the streets. Late yesterday
afternoon Mr. r. r. Raney, proprietor
of the Marlborough House decorated the
entrance of that building with American
and British flags He said he put up
the English flag because that country is

Mir Henry c.

 lie and Mayor Bell were out can vassing this morning and it is un- derstood that $16,000 of the neces- sary $30, GOO has been subscribed by our merchants and capitalist citi. zens. This is indeed good news to Pine Bluhians, who had almost giv. en up the idea. of an electric hne.
 There IS only, if the above report is true, $14, GOO needed to assure us of an electric street car line. Now let the moneyed men of the town subscribe what they will. Can it be true that a city of this size anl possessing as many enterpris ing citizens as It does, can't raise $3O, GOO?
 Come to the front, subscribe and prove to the.'people the excellent confidence you have in your city and its enterprises. Only $l4 1000 need ed to hear the dingl dongll and the buzz of an electr,c car and make the town boom.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rap i'd Increase Of Heart
 Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed Hut Look For the
 Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri- can business life, it Is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real, organic heart disease is incur able; but not one ease Tn u hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor diges ion Is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is affected by that form oi poor diges- ttOn, which causes gas and fermenta- ton from half digested food; there is feeling of oppression and heavi- ness i'll the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the d. gestion ana to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can best be done ny the regu- lar use after meals, of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive prep aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valu- able, harmless digestive clements In a pleasant, convenient form.
 It is safe to say that the regular, persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of the tablets sold by druggists at 90 cents.

SHORT TALK WITH
 ADMIRAL MILLER.
Says the Nitaragu Canal Should Be Built, and That Hawaii Is
 Worth Taking.

Chicago, Nov 4.-Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, who hoisted the flag oyer the Hawaiian islands, and proclaimed them part of the United States, left this city after days stay, for Springfield O., his boyhood home. Admiral Miller will re- tire from the service in the navy Nov. 22. Before leaving, Admiral Miller said
 II believe the Pacific station to be second in importance, If not the most important naval station we have. I think so not because I have commanded our fleets i'll those waters so many years, but because inc rapid growth of the west coast cities indicates that large population will eventually reside there. I am therefore greatly gratiied that the government has seen fit to send two such magnificent battleships as the Ore gon and the Iowa to the Pacific station :"
 Speaking of his prospective retirement Admiral Miller said:
 q greatly regret the necessity of quit ting the service at a time whom feel

am well able to fulfil my duties, but l mnst give way to younger men. have had my innings, and must give others . chance
 With regard to the lessons gained by the late war he said:
 First and foremost, think the ne- cessity for the Nicaraguan canal is the thing of prime importance to our navy A country which has such a vast coast line on two oceans needs route by which warships can be transferred from ocean to ocean without mourning the necessity of cireumnavigating a conti- nent. think the Niearaguan canal will be built in eight years. It is the only practical passage.
 ''The chief difficulty to be surmounted i'll Nicaragua Is the establishment of a port at Greytown. The shifting sands thereabouts render navigation difficult and considerable expense would be in- cured in fixing the harbor up.
 "Another necessity shown by the war is that of having a large number of first class battleships, capable of sailing IS miles an hour We must have them, and think we will have them. We want more ships like the recently launched Illinois
 "'With regard to Hawaii, it was espe- cially pleasant for mo to close Q long service by presenting my country with a large and fertile territory. Ever since my first visit to Hawaii, in 1855 I have been convinced that the islands should belong to us. have visited Honolulu many times and have always been ac- corded q royal welcome there. It is nov a thoroughly American city and we did right in taking it in. ;

The Al c. Field Minstrels is aI- ways greeted by a packed house whenever it appears in Pine Bluff. Field is minstrel magnate who draws crowds wherever he goes.
 Standing room was at premium last evening and it was only few minutes after the opening of the doors that the IS. R. O." sign was put up.
 The opening scene was the pret- tiest scenic production ever pre- sented in Pine Bluff. The specialties are all new, especially the Faust family, six in number, who are mak- ing their first appearance In Amer ica. Gruet, Beers and Gruet in the Imaginable comedy entitled "A Strange Sweetheart" deserve special mention for the clever acting and acrobatic maneuvers.
 Everhardt, the master wonder worker of the age, is the finest ever seen here.
 All the black faced artists deserve praise and we can safely say that they have no superiors. Al c Field and Tom Donnelly kept the house in an uproar of laughter The jokes were mostly new and original, and every one went away with praises for the company and in hopes of a return date this season.
 The company is the best travelling in tke States and is drawing great crowds at each and every appear ance.
