1t was not so easy to establish the
motive which controlled the actions of
the accountant. who was himself only
tool in the hands OF higher intelli-
gence. The deus ex machina of this
crime is man of genius who has hardly
appeared upon the scene at all, but
whose traces have found at every
turn. He was the brains of the whole
scheme; the other men in his hands
were mere puppets. Through the ac-
countant, this master spirit managed
the bookkeeper: and the accountant
himself was controlled by him more
directly, but no less surely. III he held

ful girl, WHOM he did not scruple to
use as decoy. The price agreed upon
for the accountants assistance was the
hand OF this daughter, for whom the
young man had doubtless conceived a
passionate love. Whether or not the
leader would have had the power -

tiers little; for it is highly probahie that
he never had the slightest mention OF
so doing. He evidently relied very
early in the game that theoookSeeper
could not long escape te clutches or
the law. But as he h,d taken every
precaution TO prevention from know
ing anything of his vry existence, the
fate of the unfornnate bookkeeper
would have matt,red little to this
heartless villain, had not the probable
ity remained nat, when brought to
bay, the booHeeper would denoupce
the Accountants connection with the
crime. Ths would have been extreme
ly awkwad, since the accountant was
very likdy in possession of some dan
geroussecrets. The safest way out of
the difficulty was to quietly suppress
the COW useless bookkeeper. This plan
wa decided upon, and would doubtless
hive been carried into execution, had
sot fate otherwise decreed. After the
'bookkeeper's death, under the circum-
stances which have related, it became
quite probable that the accountants
connection with the case would be dis
covered; for luck had been against
him from the start, and he became
more and more entangled in the chain
of circumstantial evidence of whose
existence his leader was soon fully
aware. In the first place, the account
ant was wounded; and thus not only
partially disabled, but also-what is
far worse-conspicuously marked. A
man who carries his arm in sling can
hardly fail to attract attention, espe-
cially when this distinguishing mark
is accompanied by another equally
glaring one in the form of head of
brilliant red hair"

hours ago."

THE CALL TO DUTY.

On the oath instant, Chairman Sim
mons of the State Democratic Com
mittee issued an earnest appeal to the
democratic voters to arouse themselves
and to work together for victory on
next Tuesday. 1t does not come any
too Soon, for there is danger of for
getting the Presidency n the nine
members of the House in the consum-
ing excitement and zeal over a per-
sonal contest for u. S. Senator. If
North Carolina shall lose three dis
tricts then the chances are very
favorable for losing the next house al
together. 1t is of vast Importance to
to the people everywhere-that the
next house of representatives shall
be democratic by one majority. Let
North Carolina elect it's entire nine
candidates from the nine districts.
That will greatly strengthen the pro-
liabilities favorable to carrying the
house. If Mckinley has Congress to
back him and is reelected, he will feel
that he has the endorsement of the
country to back him in all his revolu-
tionary plans, and both houses to be
pleasant, submissive to his will. The
senate is surely republican for another
term. Neither of the candidates for
the senatorship, if elected, can possibly
change the destiny of our country un-
der McKinley's imperial rule. The
house may put a scotch" on his wheel
that may prevent no little of the pro-
posed deviltry in the future. So do not
forget the nine members to be elected
ito the house, and the great results
hanging upon the defeat of Mckinley
and the consequent election of Bryan.

this city as the place of meeting, as
against the very cordial invitations re-
celved from other localities. The fact
that railroads centering in ST. Paul have
always extended every courtesy possible,
while the roads centering east have ex-
tended only those couTtesies given to gen.
eral convention bodies, added to the force
for st. Paul.
DR.. Stone was elected president of the
Association of Military Surgeons of the
United States, which met in New York
city, May 81, and Of the Association of
Medical Editors. The military sur
geons are the most strictly scientific of
the medical bodies. 1t has a membership
of 395 in the army and navy service, scat
tered all over the worid. About a hun
dred were present. For this convention
San Francisco was an active rival of st.
Paul, and when St Paul had secured this
body the Minnesota delegation found no
difficulty in landing those in session at
Atlantic City. Those that will come to
the city next year besides the associa-
ton of military surgeons are the Ameri-
can Medical association, which has a
membership of about 1900; the American
Association of Medical Editors, the
American Academy of Medicine, and the
American ASSOCIATE of Medical Col

government report fOF Last week
Is Rather DiscOurag1ng.
The government crop report for the
past week, issued yesterday, give little
hope for good crops. 1t states that dry
weather continued until June 9, when
rain fell in the central and southern
portions of the state. Light and scat
tered showers were reported from the
northern part of the state The heaviest
rains occurred in the southeastern coun-
ties. The drought effect had been gen
orally intensified up to June 9, and opin-
ions differ as to the condition and pros
poets. Some wheat is heading out very
low; on ridges and dry ground it is prac-
tically a failure; in some places wheat
is being ploWed under and the ground
poor. Barley is beginning to head very
irregularly,, and it is short. Glover is
generally short, but some fairly good is
being cut in the southern portions
Early corn is doing fairly well, but
late planted has come up irreguIarly,
and in some localities it has not yet
the same as previously reported and the
crop. will be short. Pastures were be-
coming very short, and in some localities
