FAILED TO FIND
HER LITTLE SON.
Mrs. Brown Was Not Anxious
to See Her Husband.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Claimed That Brown Has Been Making
Eyes at a Niece wife Has Support
ed Herself BY Needle
Work.

The wife of Arthur Brown, who called
at the police station on Saturday after
noon for her boy, as noted in the News
Democrat Saturday failed to secure the
lad, as he had already accompanied his
father home by the way Of Massillon.
1t appears that Brown failed to find his
wife when he walked to Navarro, al
though she was close to the village
when he visited there.
When the woman stepped into the
police station she handed Turnkey
Becherer a postal card sent to her ad
dress, upon which was written in q
scrawling hand the information that
the mother would find her boy at the
police station. 1t did not designate,
however, whether it meant the local or
Massillon station, and therefore the
woman called here.
Mayor Robertson was informed of
her presence down stairs and he went
down and had a long conversation with
her. During her interview she stated
that this was not the first time that she
had left her husband or that they had
separated. She stated there were dis
agreements between them occasionally
and that Brown did not treat her very
nice at home. She also stated that she
had accompanied "One Armed Jack"
from her home to city in the western
| part of the state and that at no time
did she live with him, as stated by her
husband. She alleges that she does not
know the whereabouts of Jack" and
| that she did not see him since he left
her after leaving home. Mrs. Brown
has been making her home, as she
stated, with a family named Kennedy,
below Navarro, and she has been en-
gagged in peddling needles and notions
to make a living for herself and her
| little girl who is with her. She did not
seem very anxious to accompany her
husband home and live with him again,
but she was desfrous of securing a
glimpse of her little boy. The woman
was neatly clothed and seemed rather
intelligent. She did not state her rea-
! sons for leaving home beyond the as
| sertion that her husband cared more for
niece than he did for her, and she then
preferred not to live with him.
When Brown left Massillon to go
home he stated that he would return
and resume his search for his wife. Mrs,
Brown stated that she had not seen her
husband at Navarro or anywhere else
lately, and she believed she was doing
much better now than if she returned
/ l..
taken by the officers at the police sta
tion and when her husband returns he
will probably succeed in locating her.

GAMBLE FOR STEWARD.
Gen. Dicks Akron Friend Said
to Be Slated For an Office
Under Nash.

Columbus, Jan. 15.-W. b. Gamble,
Dicks friend from Akron, who is an
applicant for Eli Vests job as steward
of the penitentiary, is in the city, and
his friends say now that he is sure to
land the place.
Dick recommended Gamble some
weeks ago, but Governor Nash declared
that he proposed to make this one of his
personal appointment, and he favored
T. r. Brown, of Delaware for the stew
ardship and Sheriff Nichols of Medina
for Warden.
Since Nichols has declined to take the
wardenship it is said that Smith of Del
aware will be the warden and Gamble
will land as steward. Mr.. Brown, who
is touted as winner as warden, was a
member of Gov. Nash's regiment, and
is personal friend Of the governor.

Deputy Postoffice Inspector M. G..
Price, of Chicago, arrived in Canton
Monday morning to take charge of j.
l.. Dunn, the man in the county Jail who
says he robbed the mail sack at EfHng-
ham, Illinois, last Monday. After Price
got here he said he would not take Dunn
back himself. He said he could do so,
but If he did the United States Marshal
would be mad because he would not
get fee out of the case.
Mr.. Price went to Judge Days office
to get an order for the removal of Dunn.
Judge Day said he had no jurisdiction
in the case, and Price then telegraphed
to the United States marshal at Cleve-
land and ordered him to come down and
take the fellow to Cleveland and ar
raign him before the United States COM
missioner.

were not bothersome in Columbus, but
he found no peace and so he came tc

suspense was too much for him and ht

Dunn said his home is at Quincy
Illinois, and that he is a marble polishel

up as requested and then notified the
authorities at Effingham. The post
master answered the telegram anC

SWEEPING THE WEST
Aycock in Pennsylvania Wins
by Power of Truth.
Many Ladies Were Out Despite Rainy Weather
Some of Them Coming 8 and 10 Miles.
Many Republic ms Present

Especial Cor. News and Observer
Brevard. y. G., June q
This has been great day for dem
ocracy in Pennsylvania. Though Sat
urday opened with a steadily driz-
cling rain. yet the people were deter
mined to hear the next Governor.
Not since the memorable campaign
of 1876, when the lamented Vance
met Tom Settle on Court Square in
our city, has there been such speech
in this county.
At least five hundred people assem-
bled i'm the court house at eleven
o'clock and remained until the speak
ing closed.
Messrs. Sam. l.. Patterson. candi-
date for Commissioner of Agriculture,
and Sam. l.. Rogers, candidate for
Corporation Commissioner, accom-
panied Mr. Aycock to this county.
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Patterson both
made short cpeech6s, being introduc-
ed by w. A. Cash, Esq.
The people had come to hear the
orator of the day and the State. Mr..
Aycock was received with many
cheers, after being introduced by II,
III. Zachary, the nominee Of the Dem
ocratic party for the House in Tran
sylvania.
1t would be futile to attempt to tell
of the matchless eloquence, splendid
logic. wonderful oratorical flights.
the scathing sarcasm which filled his
speech and thrilled his audience for
one hour and fifty minutes. No one.
regardless of party affiliations could
have been i'm the least offended. Those
who were his friends politically. were
strengthened in the cause. Those who
were opposed to him because he was
Democrat, will surely be hushed.
The eyes of many in the audience
were often wet with tears as they
listened to the call of this patriot for
the white manhood of Western North
Carolina to stand by the white men
of the East and to help them to set
tie the great question once and for
ever. 1t has never been our privi-
Iege to see Il speaker of more per-
sonal magnetism or an audience so
completely captivated and held spell
bound As wind swaps the ripen-
ing wheat-fields 50 did the next Gov
ernor sway his hearers here today.
After the speaking numbers of la
dies and gentlemen came forth eager
to grasp the hand of the speaker,
who is truly the Bryan of North Cara
DINA.
Mr.. Aycock and his party. Messrs.
Rogers and Patterson. leave here to-
morrow Sunday for Jackson copl,
ty. where they speak Monday. AS
that is the day of .IacksOn's county
convention. a large crowd of the un-
terrified Of Jackson will be present.
Mr.. Aycock's tour in these western
counties is surely setting ablaze the
vestal fires of Democracy which will
be growing brighter as the 2pd OF
August approaches. We fully believe
that he will lead the hosts TO victory:
Such man and such an hour. Our
harps shall not be hung on the will
low but on August Sd we will join
the chorus Of the great white thrOng
coming up from the Atlantic and 90
ing down from the mountains as they
sing Hail to the Chief Chas. y.
Aycock.

THRIFTY NORTH CAROLINA.

We copied Il few days ago an in
terview with gentleman published
in Baltimore paper in which he said
that he found more evidences of pros
perity in North Carolina than in any
other Southern State, and he had just
concluded a tour of the South. Writ
ing of the SeabOard Air Line trip to
and from Tampa. the Richmond Dis
patch correspondent says:
There was really no portion of the
trip more interesting that the run
from Raleigh north. The evidences
of prosperity on every side put one
in good spirits. There is no doubt
that North Carolina is thriving. OF
the five States which we crossed last
week not one gave so many evidences
of thrift and prosperity. The farms
are>in a high state of cultivation. The
residences and outbuildings show the
evidence of careful attention and the
expenditure of money. Nearly every
town, however small, has its cotton
mill The great old State was never
SO great as now, and her greatness
seems waxing.

An Egging Affair at Shelby.
Charlotte Observer

Passengers who arrived last night on
the Carolina Central train, say that the
young man who as a Populist, made a
speech TO negroes in Shelby yesterday,
was given an egg salute. at the depot on
his departure. AS the young man was
going from the hack to the train, he
was the target for shower of eggs. He
boldly turned back to face his detractors,
but could find none. Then he started for
the train a second time, and he caught it
again, hot and heavy.
The Observers informant. resident of
Forest City, was looking out car window
at the scene, and he says that the eggs
were hurled regardless of trajectory.
Most of them went straight when the
man got into the car" he says, "he had
egg shells and egg material hanging to
him from hat to shoes. He went into
the toilet room, changed clothing, and
came out in good shape to get off at Buff
falo.'~
1t is learned that the cause of this de-
monstration at Shelby was that the speak
er had made an exceedingly offensive ad-
dress TO a crowd of negroes in the town.

the north pole by ship. Through hard
ship and danger brave explorers have
endeavored to reach the coveted spot. The
fact that the Pole is still a mystery
points to the conclusion that our method
was wrong, and lends credence to the
recent utterance of a learned scientist,
that we must abandon ship, copy the
Esquimo's customs and walk to the pole.
The same commonsense reasons should
be applied to health. There is only
one road to recovery for sufferers from
stomach disorders and that. is through
