CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH RENE
DY ALWAYS PROVES
EFFECTUAL.

There are no better medicines on th
market than Chamberlain's. We hav
used the Cough Remedy when all others
failed, and in every instance it proved
effectual. Almost daily we hear the vir
tues of Chamberlain's remedies extolled
by those who have used them. Thi
is not an empty puff, paid for at so
much a line, but is voluntarily given in
good faith, in the hope that sufferin
humanity may try these remedies and

AN EVENING WITH GRIEG.

l4.e Grieg recital given by the teachers
of the musical department of 81. Mary 5
School on Monday evening was pro-
nouncetl by competent critics and the
music lovers who attended it perfect III
every respect. The article on the life
and works of Grieg, written and read
by Mrs. Albert Mack was most interest
ing. 1t gave condensed account OF the
life of GIieg. pleasant incidents about
his home. and critical estimate OF his
musical compositions, showing the pow
erful influence which the Folk Songs
of Norway, his native country, have
ulpon him. Every number on the pro-
gl-amme except the illustrative Folk
music. was composed by Edward Grieg,
and the Interpretation of the Masters
music by voice, violin and piano was
most satisfying and artistic. No concert
of like kind has ever been given before
in Raleigh and this one proved conclu-
sively not only the pleasure but the
great educational benefit to be derived
from an evening devoted entirely 10
the works of one composer. The nation
a. songs and dances mentioned on the
programme Below gave the themes from
which so much of Grieg's music has
been evolved. and it was most interest
ing to note how the rude, strong ballads
infused force and vitality in the finished
compositions of the artist.
The following programme was rem
dered:

BAD BUSINESS.

Privates GrubDs, Cave and Ray, OF
Co. A. Second Regiment, now quartered
here. were arrested in this place at an
early hour on Saturday morning, just
after their return from Mt. Jackson.
From what we can learn they had
gone to the above place the evening be-
fore to witness a dance, and while there
they stole lot of gloves, muffiers &c,
from. persons who were attending the
ball. Some of the articles were recover
ed before they left Mt. Jackson. A
message was then sent to this place to
arrest them on their arrival. Lieut.
Kniesley went to the train, scooped them
in and some Of the stolen property was
found in their possession. They were
sent to Jail TO await trial Tuesday they
we're brought before Justice f, c.
Haas for trial. Gubbs plead guilty and
escaped with fire of $500 and costs,
making total of about s9.O5. Cave
and Ray stood trial and were fined
IS 90 each and costs, and fifteen days in
Jail.
Cave is from Page county and Grubbs
and Kay from Winchester. The officers
and men Of Co. A. greatly regret this
affair.

A GREAT RISK.

Tie Board OF Supervisors OF tins coun-
ty subject prisoners to a great risk. J.
is not generally known that there Is but
one way of egress from the jail aud that
i by a stairway running from small
lobby, adjoining the kitchen and separa'
ted from it by plank partition. Should
fire break out in the kitchen, and that
is not an impossible occurrence, and the
stairway catch fire, there would be no
possible way Of saving the prisoners
confined upstairs. They would be con-
fined in steel cells and these cells are III
a large room surrounded by walls, TWO
feel thick, with windows protected by
heavy iron bars.
That the county has not been held re-
sponsible for disaster caused by ms
state of affairs heretofore, is certainly
fortunate, but no Board have the legal
or moral right to place men and women
in position where they run great
risk Of losing their lives. This subject
should command the prompt and earnest
attention of the Board of Supervisors.
