Col. u. B. Henderson will get.a mag
nlticent reception when he comes here
November to speak in the auditori-
UNI. This will be his first visit to. the
city since his election to the speaker
ship was assured, and the republicans
here feel like doing something to show
that they claim a shareyof the honor OF
having the first speaker west of the
Mississippi river. The last time Col.
Henderson was here was on MAY ~,
when the corner stone of the new state
historical building was laid and Gov
ernor Shaw gave reception. Several
of the congressman were here at that
time and they laid plans in the interest
OF Col. Henderson's candidacy for the
speakership. : They were to hold an
other meeting about two weeks later,
but it was never held because the game
had been bagged before that. owing to
the great natural strength of Col. Hen
derson and the fact that his campaign
was skilfully directed by the Iowa CON
gressmen and senators.
Iowa is contributing her share to the
Ohio campaign this year, and nearly all
the congressman from this state have
either been there or are going. 1t is
bitter fight owing to the factional
warfare between friends and enemies
of Senator Foraker. This is his year;
the Legislature elected this fall will
elect his successor.
The attorney general has given an

it to be, and then he went on to say:
1T may be said generally that any
game in which a person parts with his
money in the hope or with the expecta-
tion of receiving a sum of money or
in return therefor,the amount
of which depends upon some chance or
the result of the game, is gambling. It
has been held by our supreme court
that playing at billiards or pin pool
with the agreement that the losing par
ty shall pay for the use of the table is
gambling. A game of chance result
ing upon drawing is a species of gam
bling or lottery. Slot machines, by
which one, for a given sum, will obtain
one cigar, or by a lucky turn more
than one, are unquestionably gambling
devices. 1t is impossible to name all
games specifically, but any game or de-
vice which comes within the general
definition above stated is, in my judg-
ment, gambling or a gambling DEVICE"
So that it will only be necessary to
show that a slot machine for the dis
tribution of cigars was operated at a
fair to beat the fair association out of
its 5000 allowance from the state. The
law is plain and the aditor of state
cannot disregard it.
The state board of control has made
another good showing for the month
of September. There has been total
increase of patients, inmates, pupils,
ETC., Of 213 during the month of Sep
TENDER, and the credit balance in the

crease of $1,64s.39. The total number

Peace Institute, Raleigh. n. C..

The fall term of this institute has
been remarkably successful in every
way. 1t has had more boarding pupils
han last year they have enjoyed uni
formly good health and have distin-
guished themselves in department and
application to study.
Work will be resume on January 4,
1900. This will be a good time for
young ladies to enter the institute for
the spring term at reduced rates. The
separation of pupils, two in a room,
the excellent physician and inspector,
most competent trained nurse, adj
mirably arranged infirmary, and the
careful attention paid to each individ-
ual must reduce to a minimum all ten
dency to disease in Peace Institute.
It's numbers are limited and the aim
is to have a select school, where there
shall be a quiet hOme-iife with close
and intimate association between
teachers and pupils, and to avoid the
demOralizing influences Of great num-
bers collected together with no common
bono of sympathy. In such a school
as Peace the advantages for the de-
velopment Of true character and habits
and the correction Of individual de-
fectS of either are very great.

a SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty - five Years Constant Use
a Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack. Fol-
lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation al
show such a record-twenty-five years
constant use without a failure. For

very extensive repairs must be made
and u be made subject to the ap-
prevail of the public buildings commit
tee. He though between $500 and 5000
