RAN ON THE MIDWAY
A Number of the Attractions
Were Simply Vile.
THE PUBLIC PROTESTS.
Secretary Pogue Says Fair Manage
ment Was Imposed Upon.
MOST OF THE arTRAc TONS MEalToRIoUs
The Announcements Made in Front of The
Little Midway" and Others Were Coarse
and Vulgar. Gen. Toon Comp-
ments the Crowd THURSDAY.

That the Fair was a great success this
year all admit. and that there were
more vulgar and mediocre attractions
on the Midway than ever before is gen
orally recognized.
Yesterday the attractions cleared out,
train load going direct to Columbia,
S. c., and others to Winston and We'll
dom
While there were many meritorious
attractions on the Midway, and many
that were harmless and innocent fakes,
there We're seven or eight obscene and
dsreputable shows that should not be
tolerated again The Fair management
has no way of finding out the character
of these shows before booking them,
and doubtless less was known after their
arrival.
Some of these attractions made feeble
attempts to be wicked, but that which
is most condemned is the character of
the announcement made from the
front, which innocent women and
children passing through the
Fair grounds were forced to hear.
This class of attractions and the liber-
ties taken in heralding them to the pub
lie has been severely condemned. A
gentleman said yesterday:
II think the Fair management should
protect the public from such disrepu-
table attractions. They had not the
least merit to recommend them to pub
lie favor, save their vileness.'
Gen. It. F. Toon, the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, spoke along the
same line. Some of these attractions
were meritorious," he said, but many
of them ought not to have had a place
in the Fair. They taught anything but
that which we ought to teach the peo-
ple." Continuing Gen. Toon said: Il
have never seen more magnificent
crowd than that of Thursday-one that
showed more intelligence and was better
behaved. I noticed an Improvement in
the condition of the people They were
dressed better and were more orderly.
/ failed to observe an intoxicated man.
Secretary Joseph E. Pogue realizes
that a radical change must be made.
He says that some of the shows that
are complained Of came to Raleigh we'll
endorsed and promised to give clean
performances and then imposed upon
the mana cement. He added:
1.-The effect of the Midway has been
to teach the people a great moral les
son. It is fortunate that no enthusiastic
advocates of the moral welfare of the
community has seen fit to disturb the
shows. Much of the Midway, especially
the dancing and high gaming, has been
extremely offensive to the management,
and while not expelled from the grounds,
it becomes a living issue with the man
ayers of the Fair and must be decided
on the side of decency common sense
and good morals before the next Fair.
There are plenty of meritorious shows
of sufficient diversity of character to
furnish Midway that will amuse and
instruct the public without this pro-
miscuous racket and Objectionable fea-
lures with which we have unfortunate
ly had to deal during the Fair just
closed"

Way Into State Medical Institution
(By the Associated Press.)

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Czolgosz S
brother, Waldeck, and a brother in law
arrived at the prison gate this morning.
The former was admitted but the war;
den was not satisfied as to the latter S
identity and he was not allowed to enter.
1t is believed that the visit has something
to do with the claiming of the remains Of
the assassin after his electrocution.
When Czolgosz's brother left the pris-
ion had been made as to the disposition
Of the assassin body after execution. lie
said, however, that it would not be taken
to Cleveland.
Waldeck stated that the assassin had
shown no emotion, had not inquired as
to the other members of the family and
had said that he did not care to see a
priest again.
The Interview between the brothers
took place in the office of the prison.
They conversed in English more than an
hour. After the interview Waldecl1 said
his brother was never demonstrative, but
appeared to be glad to see him. The as
sassin expected to die Tuesday and will
make no effort to appeal. WalGeck will
visit his brother again Monday.
1t was learned tonight that plans are
being made to prevent the body finding
it's way into a State medical institution.
/. has been planned to have the body
taken in charge by a local undertaken
Immediately after the autopsy on Tues

(By the Associated Press.)


Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct 26.-Judge
Jones this afternoon dissolved the mar
riage existing between Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Gebbard, granting a divorce TO
the wife on her cross-b bill of complaint.
Both are given liberty to remarry, and
Mrs Gebbard is awarded $1,000 for
costs, attorneys fees, etc.
Mr.. Gerhard filed suit for divorce
from his wife. formerly Miss Morris, of
Baltimore, on September 80 last. He
alleged that she wilfully deserted him
in September, 1899.
Mrs. Gebbard arrived here today and
Immediately filed cross bill, in which
she denied the desertion and alleged
that her husband in 1899 sent her away
from his home to the home of his niece,
at Newport and that he then took his
residence at the Waldorf Astoria, in
New York, where he had remained until
his removal to South Dakota.
AT the hearing this afternoon Mrs.
Gebhard's allegations were corrobor-
ated by the testimony of her mother
and brother. Judge Jones decided that
Mrs. Gebhard's charges were sustained
and granted the decree accordingly.

His Father Anxious for he Body
lBv the Associated Press.l

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 26.-Paul Cool
gosz, the assassins father. did not want
to make the journey to the place of exc
cution unless he was sure that he would
be able to see his son before the execu-
ton He has from the first been de-
sirous of bringing the body of the assas-
sin to Cleveland for burial and Waldeck
Czolgosz and Thomas Banlowski went
east to arrange for that.
eff the boy wants to see me, and the
police will let me see him, l will go
there at once" said the father last
night. He says he will bury the body in
Cleveland if he has to buy a lot outside
of cemetery and form a cemetery of his
own.
If Czolgosz dies repentant and recon-
ciled to the church his body will be given
what is known as Christian burial, that
is burial in consecrated ground, but
further than this no religious services
will be accorded him, and no public
church services can be held over his

EFT.TosTHE- UNIONS
The. Question of Strike Will Probablyi.bo
Settled Wednesday Night. -.
(Bv the Associated Pres


Fall River, Mass, Oct. ga meeting
of the Textile Council, at which all the
unions in the city were represented, was
held tonight, the letter of the manufac-
turers refusing an advance in wages De
ing discussed at length The council
decided that it would leave the matter OF
a strike entirely in the hands of the
unions, which action is in line with their
previous determination. 1t was decided
to hold general meetings of all the u,lons
next Wednesday night. at which time
the letter of the manufacturers, will be
read and action taken. 1t is claimed there
is but little doubt that this action will
be vote to strike. Then the strike
will begin on the following Monday morn
ing.
There is a strong sentiment mere
against strike owing to the effect it
will have on all classes of business, and
many at present believe that it will not
materialize. The manufacturers do not
take this view, however. and believe the
operatives will strike. The labor leaders
tonight said that they had no idea other
than that the unions, would vote to
strike.
1t is possible that the spinners' union
may vote not to strike in view of the
similar action taken by them before the
postponement of the strike. This, how
ever. will have no bearing upon he ac-
ton of the other unions, as it has been
decided that if four of the five unions
vote to strike the vote shall become oper-
ative.

GEN. ROBERTS RETURNS ROME.
Made One Of the Best Chief Marshals the State
Fair Has Ever Had.

General w. p. Roberts, who left this
morning for his home, has made one of
the best chief marshals the State Fair has
ever had. Certainly no chief marshal
ever attracted so many people to Il fair.
The presence of marshals here from four
different States, who come to fraternize
with their old commander in the Con-
federate army, was indeed splendid COM
pliment. On every hand there have been
expressions of appreciation of the great
service done the Fair by the chief mar
shall.
General Roberts, whose modesty ut all
times manifests itself, spoke of the eff
forts of President Cox, Secretary Pogue
and Treasurer benson in making the Fair
such success as he took his departure
last night. He had only words of praise
for their splendid management OF af
fairs.
And think that the selection of Mr..
L. Banks Holt means that you arc going
to have an even greater Fair next year"
said General Roberts.

Baldwin University Loses 800, OCO in
Bonds, Notes, Deeds and
Mortgages.
NO CLUE TO THE ROBBERS YET FOUND.
People Living Half Mile Distant Heard the
Crash Of The Explosion While Those
Residing Much Nearer Heard
Nothing.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berea Ohio, Oct. 26.-One of the bold
est safe robberies ever perpetrated in
this vicinity occurred at an early hour
this morning, almost in the heart of
the city. The hardware store of Law
renee & Brightman was entered, the
large safe was wrecked and the robbers
made good their escape, carrying with
them booty aggregating in amount more
than 100000.
Baldwin University bears the heaviest
loss. G. c. Brightman, the junior
member Of the firm, is also the treas
urer and trustee Of Baldwin University,
and all of the available papers of the
institution which were left in Bright
mans custody were kept in the safe.
Bonds, deeds, notes and mortgages of
the University aggregating 100000 in
value were secured by the robbers.
Many of the notes held by Baldwin
University were of long standing and
bore numerous endorsements, making
it impossible to produce them in dupli-
cate.
A diligent search for the thieves has
been instituted but as yet no clew as
to their whereabouts or identity has
been established.
A fact regarded as most singular is
that the explosion of the safe was
heard by parties residing a half mile
north and more than that distance
southwest of the centre of the town,
while those residing in the business dis
trict were unaware that an explosion
had occurred.
The force of the explosion was most
terrific. The safe was constructed on
fire and burglar proof principles, yet
the heavy doors were twisted from
their hinges as if made of paper, and
large pieces of the safe doors were i'm
bedded in the walls of the building, one
section weighing fifty pounds being
blown clear through board partition
into an adjoining room.
Six men are believed to have been en-
gagged in the affair.

GEN. ROBERTS A CANDIDATE.
Will Run for Congress in First District. Can
didates for the Judgesbip

Gen. w. p. Roberts, of Gates. will be
a candidate for the Congressional nomi-
nation in the First district. This infor-
nation comes from friends of Gen. Rob-
erts, who conversed with him while here
this week.
The candidates in the judgeship made
vacant by the death of Judge Thoma s
c. Fuller are springing up in every
quarter. Spence Adams cold fling
down" by the President makes it cer-
tain that a Democrat will get the ap-
pointment and there is hope" that the
appointment will come to North Caro-
lima. 1t is understood that the names of
these gentlemen will be presented to
the President for appointment to the
Land Claims Judgeship: Gen. 7. F.
Davidson, Hon. Frank /. Osborne, Hon.
John S. Henderson, Hon. F. II. Bus
bee, Hon. Glenn Manly, Hon. Ham
Jones and Hon. Garland Ferguson.
It's a cold day when Spence Adams
fails to reach for an office that happens
to he floating around. It's anything
with Adams SO it's an office. He has
been running for the last four years,
first for one office and then for another.
The fact is that he has about lost posi-
tion with the "also rous." Pritchard
promised to transplant Adams to the
Philippines as j. p. or something of
the kind. but he SENS to have failed to
make the bait sufficiently tempting.
They are still hammering on Claudius
Mellnot. He is clinging on to hts fast
fading district attorneyship with a
death like grip, and lis happy that he
won't be removed before his term ex-
pires. Harry Skinner is slated for his
berth one day and Judge Timberlake
the next Harry's eulogy of P-itchard
at Greensboro, it is said, will finally
land him in Demands place.
