TWO LIVES SAVED.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,

Consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles DR. Kings New

1870 Florida, ST., San Francisco suffered
from a dreadful cold approaching Con
sumption, tried without result every
thing else then bought one bottle of DR..

THE OFFICE LEFT ALONE
AND THE SHIP OF STATE LEFT
TO DRIF ALONG AS BEST
IT CAN.
NOT EVEN FAMILIAR EtHoS HEARD
In the States Executive Office All Day Yes
terdsy---The Executive Force From
Russell TO Joe Braan Had
Flown The Coop.

For the first time perhaps i'll n century
the entire force of the Executive of
ice of the great State OF North Carolina
has taken a holiday, closed up the
rancho, put the key under the door mat,
and gone yis't:ag.
At twelve o'clock yesterday there was
not sound, not whisper, not even the
echo of cuss word that could be
heard through the key holes of the
Executive office. The great massive
doors fairly grinned defiance at an in
truder on the silence that reigned
within. Out in the passage-way, on top
of goods box, sat negro Waterman
with his cooling heels beating a tattoo
against the side of the box.
"Dey's all gone, boss he said to Il
reporter who raped at the Executive
door.
"Gone whereY" the reporter inquired.
"Gone err way he replied with a sort
of camp-meeting sadness in his voice.
Can you tell me to whence they have
all departed?" | asked.
DE Gunner he down or bout Will
minton, Mister Cade he dun II gone ter
Louisburg, Mr. FowIe he bin er way
sebrel days down fishin' wild his line an
Mister 10 Braan he dun n gone down
ter de kommitty meetin ut de cote
house ter help git up er Publican CON
venshun."
And sure enough the Waterman was
right. The Executive office was closed
as tight as a country smoke house at
midnight.
1T seems that the old State is kinder
going it Alone | remarked to a gentle
man.
Eyes" he replied, ''the Governor is
down at Wilmington a-cussin'; Brother
Cade is down at Louisburg a-preachin' (;
Executive Clerk Fowle is down ut Nor
folk a-fishin', and Joe Braan is down
at the court house running Wake
county politics.
All the great questions of State, the
railroad rate questionable Russell
Caldwell, and the Russell Norwood re-
signation questions; the war question
and all other momentous questions were
snoozing away in the death-like silence
of the abandoned office undisturbed by
even foot-step on the carpeted corri-
doris.
Perhaps if all the people in the State
had known that all day yesterday the
Executive office was tightly closed
they would have breathed easier and
felt more comfortable.
1t is something new, however, to close
up entirely the Executive office, but
these are days of new and startling i'm
ovatons We may not quite understand
them, but we have got to take them as
they spring them upon us.

The Navy Department Calls for Bids

Washington, ID. c., June 1S.7-The
Navy Department issued advertisements
today calling for proposals for building
of three great battleships authorized by
the last Naval Appropriation BILL These
bids will be opened at the department.
on September 1st, and 33 months will
be allowed for the completion of the
ships after the contract. That is the
maximum, but bidders are invited 10
specify the time within which they can
complete the constructions, which Of
course indicates the purpose of the de-
partment to regard speedy construction
as one of the determining factors in
awarding the contract.
Generally speaking, the three big ships
are to be patterned closely after the
Illinois class, such as is now building at
Newport News.
The advertisements calling for the
building of the monitors are withheld

Paris. June 1S.-After consultation

morning, NJ. Ribot informed President
Faure that he is unable to form Il Ca
binet to succeed the Meline Ministry.
President Faure. on NJ. Ribot's sug-
gestion, it is announced this evening,
has asked that Sarrien form a Cabinet.
The latter is depended upon to reconcile
the Republican factions.
The reason given for NJ. Ribots with
drawal from the task of forming new
Ministry is that the Radicals demanded
an equal division of the portfolios, en-
aiding them to demand revision of the
Constitution. 1t is believed that Sar-
rfen, who is a Radical, will for the
same reason, fail in his effort to form

rating PnISoneti oSudy.
DOVER, Del. August l5.-whatever
may be the final results OF the investl-
CATION into the cause Of the deaths of
Mrs. j. p. Dunning and her sister, Mrs.
]. D. Dcane, all the Indications al pres
cnt arc that both women lost their lives
by Rrsenical poisoning taken in the cam
dy sent from San Francisco by per
son at present unknown.
The funeral OF both the victims took
pince to-day from the home of their
father, ex-Congressman John b. PEN
ninEton. Prior to the services Coroner
Walls began IN investigation. DR..
Bishop, who attended the women after
they had been taken III. gave It as his
opininn that the deaths were due TO pol
sored candy. No analysis OF the candy
has yet been made, but Mr.. Pennington
will place samples Of It In the hands of
several expert chemists. On the result
of these tests he proposes to have FUR
tlrer action. Minute examination Of the
box, wrapper and contents has only
served to deepen the mystery as to the
identity Of the sender. The box Is Of
the white glazed variety, is oblong In
shape and Is made to hold one pound
Of candy. Around the ends are narrow
pink satin ribbons tied in a bow knot,
and on the top In gold letters Is the
word ''Bon Bons."
The wrapper is Of the common light
brown kind, and Ia in no way like the
variety usually in use by confectioners.
There are four flve-cent stamps and one
two-cent stamp on the wrapper, on but
one OF which Is the cancellation mark
legIble. The address Is evidently writ
ten in a cramped hand or with an eftort
al disguise.
Within the box was common plain
white handkerchief with the price mark,
25c, SIN in one corner. The note signed
MRS. CO. Is written on ruled white pa
per in lead pencil. and the words with
love for yourself and baby" are written
jerkiiy. and In an entirely different
hand from the supeTscriptlon, very like
a woman's hnnd. There are two kinds
OF chocolate In the box. one hard, SINH
lar to a confcctioner's make; the other
soft, with every appearance OF being
home made. The impression OF DR..
Bishop is that the poison will be found
in the latter kind. These examinations
have given rise to n suspicion In MT
PennIngton's mind that the box with
pure candy was purchased, after which
IL was opened and the poisoned CANDY
placed along with the good. He states
that he viii make thorough thVes'i-
CATION surrounding the case.
