Simon Harris at Last Run
Down Near Durham.
This Negro Killed Tom Tale Over Year A go
Deputy Sheriff Harvard and Coroner
Maddry Unearth Him.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Durham, n. c., June 1l.-As some of our
readers will doubtless remember, a mur-
der was committed at or near Holloway
Station, on the o. and c. road, on Sunday
morning, May 2Sth, of last year. While
engaged in a game of cards, Simon Har-
rs pulled pistol and shot Tom Tate
three times, producing death.
Harris got away from the scene of his
crime and although officers and citizens
have been on the lookout for him good
many times, all efforts to capture him
proved futile until Sunday night.
Deputy Sheriff John f. Harvard, accom-
panied by Coroner J. Frank Maddry, went
out in the country Sunday night about s
miles from Durham. They hid i'll the
woods to see what they could see and to
await developments. A negro woman
came from a house and called the ne
gro's name At this the very man they
were desirous of catching rose from his
hiding place in the woods not very far
away and accompanied her to the house
The two officers concluded to watch the
house and capture Harris. They stood
guard outside and waited patiently for
the inmates of the house to go to sleep.
At the proper time an entrance was
effected by showing open the front door.
Harris was found lying upon the floor
with d pistol near him. He did not have
an opportunity to offer resistance, as it
was all SO quick that it came in the ma
ture Of a surprise. The house at which
he was captured was that of Bob Allen.
Deputy Sheriff Harvard and Mr.. Mad
dry brought their prisoner to Durham
early this morning and lodged him in
Jail, where he will remain until the Su
perior court disposes of the case.
1t is thought by many people that
Henry Jenkins, who shot and killed viii
Scott, at an early hour on Sunday morn
ing, June 3, is lurking around some
where not over ten miles from Durham.

Minister Conger was heard from again
this morning to the effect that the Pao
Fling missionaries are safe up to the
present; that the Chinese Government
has sent troops there; and promises am
pie protection to the mission, though it
is not thought that this protection will
insure permanent safety According to
Mr.. Conger, it is impossible at this mo-
ment to send any foreign forces from Pc
kin to Pao Ting Flu
Mr. COnger's doubt as to the perma-
nence of the Chinese ability to protect the
missions is in line with his previous eX-
presSlons of opinion, indicating a belief
in his mind that the few Chinese gener-
ais who are disposed to protect the for
eigners are to be overcome by the ele-
ment at the Chinese court which is fa-
vorable to the Boxers.
The attitude of the United States Gov
ernment respecting the Boxer troubles
having been misrepresented in certain
quarters it can be stated authortatively
that up to this point not the first step
from General MacArthur's army in the
Philippines to China. 1t was decided last
week that none of the troops could be
spared, if wanted, and that none would
be spared even if they could be for such

Chinese trouble.
Mr. COnger asked for further instruc-
tions. and was directed to proceed with
Legation and the lives of the American
citizens in China. He was warned, how
ever. not to be a party to any alliance or
combination of groups of powers. He
was to act independently whenever this
was practicable, although he was not for
hidden to take concurrent action with
other diplomatic representatives if sud

FOOD RULES COMPLEX

a young lady whose first name is Bios
named but is now properly named tells
some interesting facts about her efforts
to clear up her complexion, which, in spite
of all sorts of medicines and washes, face
beaches, etc, etc, were ineffective, be-
cause the root of the difficulty was not
removed.
Her own story is interesting. From
childhood up. /, with my sisters and
brothers, have been allowed the use of
young lady of course it was no more than
human that / should wish for a beautiful
complexion like several of my companions,
but which l did not have. Many different
courses were taken TO accomplish my end,
such as applying face bleach, taking bot
ties and bottles Of cleansing medicines,
etc. all to no purpose,
My older sister had learned before me
that coffee was the root of the difficulty
and urged me 10 begin taking hot wa ter.
l tried it, but could find little satisfaction
in sot weak and unpalatable beverage.
While visiting friend one day l accept
ed a cup of coffee Gas | supposedly, when l
noticed that this particular coffee had a
hundred per cent better taste than the
coffee we had been in he habit of using.
Upon iRquiiiug for the receipt of this very
pleasing beverage l learned that had
partaken of the noted Postum Cereal Food
Coffee.
Il had struck the goal al last. This was
the morning beverage that / wanted, and
this it turned out. was the secret of the
beautiful complexion of my friend or
course we Immediately commenced using
it la our home. and | want to say that to-
day not a more healthy, robust family is
to be found in the United States. and the
fact is attributable to our abandonment
