1T WAS A MYSTERY
Mrs. Amy Krause Shot South
Of Cheney.
WAS AT THE WELL
Lee Webster of Cheney Is
Arrested on the Charge.

Mrs. Amy Krause. who resided seven
miles south of Cheney, was shot and
wounded at her home on Friday night,
the bah entering her breast where it is
at the present time. The affair connected
with the shooting is very mysterious and
the people Of the little town Of Cheney
are all stirred up over the AFFAIR AS a
result Of the shooting Lee Webster, re-
spectacle citizen Of Cheney, an employe
Of a hardware firm is under arrest and
VIII have & hearing tomorrow at Cheney
on the charge Of shooting the woman.
The story Of the case savors Of the mys-
terious. On Friday evening, Mrs. Krause
was at the home Of her father. Herman
Olthoff. south Of Cheney. She went out
into the yard 10 secure some water
There was an oId-fashioned wheel and
rope, and as Mrs. Krause was pulling
away on the rope she heard report Of
gun and within a very short time a
bullet struck the thumb on her right
hand and, glancIng of. struck her breast
The ball made an ugly wound as it pene-
trated the flesh.
No one seemed to know where the re-
port came from or who fred the shot
However Charles Olthon, a brother Of
the wounded woman. had warrant
sworn out for the arrest Webster. Web
ster denies anything about the shooting
and says that ne had no gun In his pos
session.
The hardware store in which he was
employed had sent Webster down several
miles south of Cheney TO do some work,
and on his return he would come past
the Olthon home. However, when he
reached Cheney he had no gun, or in fact
in weapon of any kind
Just why Webster should have been
arrested cannot be ascertained, but the
information was filed against him by
Charles OlthoR, brother Of Mrs. Krause.
and the case is to come Up tomorrow.
All Cheney viii turn out to hear more Of
the case.
A few years ago the husband Of Mrs.
Krause was accidentally shot and al
most instantly killed. Since that time
Mrs. Krause has lived with her father on
his farm south Of Cheney.
The injured woman came to Wichita
yesterday. She had some difficulty in Sc
curing treatment. but the wounds were
dressed by a physician and there is yet
some danger because Of the fact that the
bali is sim in the woman's breast.
To the majority Of the people Of
Cheney the case is very much Of a mys-
terry. It is expected that that part of
the case VIII be solved tomorrow.

All observant physicians have noticed
the enormous increase in catarrhal dis
eases in recent years. and the most lib
eral and enlightened have cheerfully
given their approval to the new internal
remedy. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as the
most successful and by far the safest
remedy for catarrh yet produced.
One wen known catarrh specialist, as
soon as he had made a thorough test Of
this preparation, discarded inhalers

tireiy upon Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in
treating catarrh. whether in the head,

Or. RlsdeH says 'fn patients who had
lost the sense Of smell entirely and even
where the hearing had begun TO be at
fected from catarrh I have had fine re-
suits after only few weeks use Of
StUarts Catarrh Tablets. I can only
explain their action on the theory that
the cleansing and antiseptic properties
Of the tablets destroy the catarrhal
germs wherever found because I have
found the tablets equally valuable in ca
tarrh Of the throat and stomach as in
nasal catarrh."

We hear a great deal w-adays
about the negro question and what the
negro ought to do and how to do to get
along. This brings to mind the career
of Berry O'Kelly, thrifty, intelligent
and respected colored man of this place.
In 1879 he bought piece of land on the
south side of the railroads and opened
a store at Method, and has been doing
business here ever since. 1t is the only
store at the place. Several negro con-
tractors who do business in Raleigh sew
eral negro preachers and other thrifty
negroes live in what is known as the
OKelly settlement. Tt is the best negro
community in the county, the ruling
spirits being Berry O'Kelly, and his
cousin, Nelson O'Kelly, who so conduct
themselves as to win the confidence of
all the white people who know them as well
as to be helpful TO their own race. AS
q merchant Berry O'Kelly has been very
successful He began here in 70 with lit
tie or no capital. He now owns Sc acres
of fine land right around his store, and
owns four other tracts of land, one con-

THE sENATORsHlP,

We surrender whole page of space
today to friends of candidates for
United States Senator. Some of these
articles are long, but by urgent request
we make room for them today.
We have on hand several commune
cations which will appear from day to
day. The deep interest manifested
in the selection Of a Senator induces
us to open our columns to a presenta-
ton of the claims of candidates, but
after today we wiz be forced to limit
the length of communications. I'm
portant as the selection of a Senator
is, it is a matter of no Importance
compared with the momentous issues
involved in the campaign. We cannot
let communications on the
Senatorial contest crowd out
discussion of the great questions
of the campaign or the current news.
Hereafter we shall limit communi-
cations to two hundred words and will
have to ask all persons writing on this
matter to comply with this rule. We
have thought that the candidates and
their friends were entitled to a hear
ing, but must insist that they do not
trench upon space that should be devot-
ed to more important matters involved
in the national campaign.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AGAIN.

The people of New Bern did we'll to
require a coroner's jury to hold an
inquest over the little boy who died
for lack of medical attention. The
attendance, is undoubtedly a sincere
and pious woman, who thought she
was doing Gods service. The jury
declares that the boy died from neg
lect and gave it as their opinion that
''the child in all probability would
have recovered if he had had proper
medical treatment
In the New Bern case. where the pa
tient was child, the State could cas-
lily step in and require medical treat
ment, but in the case OF an adult, who
declined to receive any except Chris
tian Science treatment, how could the
State proceed to prevent the neglect?
One gentleman, in a private note,
writing of this phase of the question,
said:
II do not believe that legislation
will prevent such occurrences. These
people-the Christian Scientists-hOld
their beliefs as an expression of their
RELIGION, as they declare, and at
tempts to LEGISLATE AGAINST
THEM will be construed as PERSECU-
TION of them, BECAUSE OF THEIR
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS and practices,
and fail of it's purpose on that ac-
count. They holland not without
some show OF reason-that each indi-
vidual has a right to choose for him
self what method Of treatment he Will
have in sickness or whether he will
have ANY treatment at all, and that
no one may rightly force upon him a
treatment which he does not want or
deny him treatment which he de-
sires."
We publish elsewhere the views of
three leading physicians in answer to
the question 'What ought the State
to do to prevent such deaths, as the
one in New Bern?" The subject is one
that has given trouble elsewhere and
that is not easy to deal with. But
because it is difficult the State ought
not to be deferred from interposing
to prevent death for the failure to use
| known remedies.

rs THE YOUNG MAN ABSALOM
SAFE?'

With the above words as a text,
Hon. William Jennings Bryan deliver
ed a wonderfully clear and vigorous
speech at St. Louis last night, under
the auspices of the Commercial IfaV-
euer's Campaign association. 1t is
terrible arraignment of the Kepuoi-
can party for shutting the doors OF OPP
portunity to the young men OF the ke-
public. He shows that all monopoles
are bad. proves that they prevent the
attainment of an independent posi-
ton. and injuriously affect the labor
ing men. There is a summary OF the
trusts formed under this trust-breed-
ing syndicated administration, and
crushing answer to the Mckinley
prosperity argument" and the full
dinner pail cry by which Repub4l-
cans seek to avoid the discussion OF
the real issues.
1t is one of Mr.. Bryan's ablest and
most effective speeches, and in keep
: inr with the News and Observers
Democracy and enterprise, we print
the full text of the speech today. 1T
ought to- be read in full to get the
benefit of its telling points.
While the Kansas City platform
truly declared that Imperialism is
the .sparamount' issue because it as
sails the very mudsills of the Repub-
lie. the trust question in this cam
paign will prove of little if any less
Importance. 1t comes home to the
people every time they make a pur-
chase of any sort, and the large in
crease in the cost of the neces-
saries of life imposed by the trusts
is felt in the pockets of every con-
sumner. The trusts have increased the
cost of living fully twenty-five per
cent. but in very few instances have
the wages of the wage-earners been
increased at ALL The trusts have mo-
nopolized most of the prosperity OF
the country. Mr. Bryan makes this
clear and appeals to the parents to
put an end to this robbery under the
forms of law" which robs them and
makes it almost impossible for their
children to look forward to an indie
nendent career.

While many other negroes in Wake coun-
ty have spent all their money and lost
all their opportunities by dabbling in
politics in order to put unfit white and
colored men into office, Berry
and Nelson O'Kelly have attend
ed strictly to business and have
eschewed politics. They usually vote
the Republican ticket but rarely without
scratching and cutting Off it's worst

marked and is an object lesson for the

The meeting next Tuesday looking
to the formation of State Literary
Association is of more than ordinary
public Importance. 1t has been sug-
gested that the State needs such an
association to promote the preserva-
ton, production, and dissemination OF
our State literature and history. Our
hest historical data has doubtless al
ready gone to waste, and that which
remains is in the hands of a few pri-
waite persons, some of whom do not
even reside in the State. The idea OF
encouraging the production of litera-
ture, too, is a good one, and if those
who produce it feel that it will GER
family be preserved in a permanent
form, they will redouble their efforts.
There is no doubt that we have be-
gun period of increased literary ac-
tiyity. and in the next decade or two,
under the inspiration and auspices OF
a State Literary Association, we may
look for new authors of real merit.
There is no doubt that the literary
life of the State should be organized
and a representative meeting held at
least once q year. What is known
now about the history of the State
by the few would soon be known by
the many. The attrition of bright
minds would produce new ideas. me
interest of our people in ourselves
would doubtless be increased. The
study and cultivation of style in writ
ing would receive greater attention
at our institutions of learning. The
standard of literary culture would oe
higher. Distinctive literature oil
merit for originality might be pro-
duced. and if so, the voice of North
Carolina could be heard throughout
