The Killing of Dudley-The Strain
Pretty High.

LAURINBURG, n. c., November q
Special yesterday morning between the
hours of and a negro named Philip
Dudley was shot through the body here
and died last night. The Coroner ia now
holding an investigation.
II seems that Dudley was a vicious
negro. who left the State of South Caro-
lima some years ago on account of having
shot a white man in general row. He
had his skull cracked, and a part of the
bone was removed in consequence. Re-
Gently he threatened TO burn his landlord S
crops, and made many other incendiary
utterances. For no cause he threatened
the life Of one of ne best young men
OF the town.
No one else lived In less than eighth
of a mile of him. He lived in an open
field, probably $50 yards from the road.
His family say that parties called for
him In the night and asked him TO come
out where they could talk 10 him; that
Dudley called for his gun. and then the
shooting began but they have no further
knowledge as to what happened, being
so badly frightened were they.
Dudley was partly conscious most of the
day yesterday. but his physicians said he
was at no time rational. His story was
that he learned that he was hit when he
turned around 10 get his second gun
He emptied two guns and all but one
chamber OF pistol without doing any
damage, 80 far as ascertained to this hour.
Dudley implicated in the shooting some
OF the most prominent men In town In
his random talks during the time he lived
after he was wounded. but his mind was
not such as 10 make his testimony avail
able, and II It had been. the men impli-
Gated could prove alibis except In one
or two cases. where they slept alone In
their bedchambers. 10 which they retired
at their usual hours.
The affair seems little regretted by Dud-
ley's own race. as Dudley was dangerous.
and was so recognized by them. The
whites. while deprecating the occurrence.

1T WILL be OFFICIALLY AN.
NouNCED, IT is SAID, TOMORROW.
SPANISH ATTITUDE IRRATIONAL
That IN Reported to be Present
French Feeling-German views
austrian Suggestion of Enghsh
Protectorate Over Philippines.

LONDON, November s.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the Morning Post says:
1T Is said that rupture Of the peace
negotiations between the United states
and Spain will be officially announced on
Friday.
THE feeling here is that the attitude
Of the Spaniards is irrational. In view Oh
the financial propositions Of the United
States. and that they may ultimately
regret having failed to agree quickly
with their adversaries."
The Vienna correspondent OF the Times
says: 'The Spanish commissioners can
not be surprised. neither can the Spanish
Government, by Americas decision to
take the Philippines. Possibly the span
ish people were not prepared for 1t, and
the commissioners are pretending sur
prise. so that the government may be
better able to face public opinion. Ger
tainly, everybody outside of Spain must
have understood that the archipelago
was lost to SPAIN"
The Berlin correspondent Of the Stand
ard says: Russia and another Power
are credited with the intention or inti-
mating to Washington that the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines must be preceded
by a common agreement on future action
In certain circumstances.
GERMAN OPINION.
1.-THE German papers express their feel
ings very frankly. The Hamburg Corre-
spondenz says: The United States is con-
Quoting the peace negotiations as they
conducted the war. The mask OF HUMANE
ty is being gradually dropped, revealing
the broad hand of strength. When the
protocol was signed. not foot or phil
ippine soil was in American hands. Pres
ident Mckinley demands the complete
surrender only because victory in the
Forthcoming elections depends upon IT,
The American demand, however, is less
a blow to Spain than to the European
Powers. which seem DESTROYS OF selecting
naval stations in the Philippines
'The Boersen Courier admits that the
Powers have no cause for interfering
but urges them to watch American eX-
pansion with Jealous eyes.
SOME POWERS MAY RESIST.
The National Zeitung says If Spain
cannot obtain compensation sufhcient 10
cover the Philippine and Cuban debts
she would be better off without the
islands. Looking at the commercial and
strategical value Of the Philippines, We
would not be surprised at resistance on
the part of some of the Powers. More
over. IT is evident that the inhabitants do
not calmly acquiesce in American annex
alton
1.-THE Frankfurter Zetung thinks that
after the elections the American COM
missioners are likely to make some con-
cessions, since the chief question Is
rather how TO conquer the Philippines
from the inhabitants, than how to over
come Spain's resistance"
ENGLISH PROTECTORATE
The Vienna correspondent Of the Daily
telegraph says: THE Austrian Cabinet
considers an English protectorate over
the Philippines the only suitable solu-
ton"

Southern Kansas was treated TO a
good rain Sunday and Sunday night,
which brought with it touch oil
genuine winter. The Thermometer
at 7 o'clock that morning registered AZ
degrees, fall OF 30 degrees since Sat
urday. Some hail fell on Sunday
morning. The rain was accompanied
by hard, steady blow from the north.
The rain was badly needed, and well
coined thrice. Farmers are unanim-
ously of the opinion that the two
recent rains have put the ground In as
fine condition as it has ever been:
The cold snap caught many stores and
practically all OF the residence houses
without stoves, that morning, and
there has been great activity since
among the hardware merchants and
coal dealers to supply the demand Tor

Very reliable information has been

Fort Leavenworth that winter quar-

The soldiers who did the most good
were those who kept well.
There were plenty OF brave men
who were OF little use when the time
came, because they took less care OF
their health than they did Of their
musket.
Malaria and other fevers soon picked
out these men much more unerringly
than the enemys sharpshoUters.
One set Of men went about keeping
well in businessliks way. They took
Paine's Celery compound at the first
indication OF intestinal troubles,
weakness, or when fstigusd and liable
to fevers. They used Paine's celery
compound to purify their blood and

Secretary OF war Stanton used to
say that the best definition OF rest is
a charge of occupation That may
be true for one 10 health, but a sick
person needs to have his digestion
regulated, his blood purified and his
nerves iDvigorated. Paine's celery
compound brings the sort OF rest the,
sick body requires through sleep and
nOurishment.
Just as the great lawyer studies
each one Of his cases till he knows it
on every side and 10 every possible
aspect, so Professor Edward E. Phelps,
NJ. D., LII. D., Of Dartmouth College,
the discoverer OF Paine's celery com.
pound, had studied the nerves in
health and disease, when well
nourished and when under-nurished,
in men aud women and children years
before he looked for the remedy.
Paine's celery compound was the out.
come OF his entire professional life.
A fitting memorial to a life of hard
study aud close observation remedy
that the world could not lose today at
any price!
Paine's celery compound Gains and
equalizes all the nervous tissues and
induces the body to take on solid
flesh. 1t puri6es the blood, as is so
clearly shown by the rapid clearing of
the skin Of all evidences of bad
humOrs within. 1t is an infallible re.
lief for salt rheum, eczema and all
