The pertinent feature of the prohibition
plank in the platform of the Republican
convention is the demand for "faithfuland
Impartial enforcement by the officers of
the law" This has been the REPORTERS
contention for years. The officers of che
law are the men to enforce the provisions
Of this law as well as any other statute.
This is the correct theory.

One of the largest and most fashionable
audiences was out last evening to see
the Who. What, When Minstrels in their
brand new production. The first part was
seldom. if ever seen before. The clever
witticisms of George Weaver, Nat Bios
som. Hi Tom Ward and Gear Buckley,
kept the house in one continuous round
of laughter. The singing of Sherwood
and Fox, the unique comedy four and
Julian Walsh, was par excellence. The
unique comedy four was on the program,
and they were fine. from the heavy opera
to the most lively "coon ballad Weaver
and Donna did one of the most unique
acts on the bill, taking three encores.
The sensational Austins. on the triple
bars was very clever and new European
novelty. lately imported for this combina-
tion. Goldsmith and Hoppe made great
hit in their musical act. A better min
strcl combination would be hard to lind
on this side of the waters.

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY.
Or At Least Everybody Who Suffers from
Catarrh.

Catarrn in its various forms is a ma
tional disease, and the fact that nearly
everybody suffers from it more or less
leads many to neglect its proper treat
ment.
Nasal ca .arrh is common cause of
Headaches, destroys sense of smell and if
Neglected reaches the throat, causing i'm
rairment and sometimes total loss of
voice Bronchial catarrh leads easily to
consumption. Catarrh of stomach and
liver are very serious and obstinate trou-
lies, while it is now generally admitted
that catarrh is the most common of all
causes of deafness.
All Of the more serious forms of catarrh
begin with nasal catarrh the local symp-
toms, being profuse discharge, stoppage
of nostrils, irritation and frequent clear
ing of the throat, .sneezing, coughing, and
gagging.
The old style Of treatment with
douches, inhalers, sprays, salves, etc,
simply gives temporary relief and every
one who has used any of them knows
how useless they are and their incon-
venience is such that very few have the
time or patience to continue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
the catarrhal faint from the blood be-
cause no one will now dispute that ca
tarrh is constitutional or blood dis
case and local applications can have no
effect except to temporarily relieve local
symptoms
4 new remedy which has been remarka-
bly, successful in curing catarrh is
pleasant tasting tablet which is taken
internally and acts upon the blood and
mucous membranes.
1t is composed of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum, Blood root and similar
cleansing specifics which eliminate the
catarrhal, poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the taste
are dissolved in the mouth and thus
reach the throat, trachea and finally the
stomach and entire alimentary canal.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
If desired, when there is much stop
page of the nose, the tablets may be
dissolved in warm water and used as
douche in addition to internal use, but
a douche is not at all necessary. A few
dissolved in the mouth daily will be suf-'
ficient DR.. Ainslee says: 1.-The regular
daily use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
taken internally will cure the whole ca
tarrhal trouble without resorting to the
inconvenience of a douche or an inhaler.
They seem to give a -ealthy tone to
the whole mucous membrane and 1t IS
really remarkable how soon they will
clear the head and throat of the unna-
tural and poisonous catarrhal secretion.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is undoubtedly
The safest most palatable and certainly
the most efficient and convenient remedy
for any form of catarrh.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, Oct. ia ter
rife eruption of the Soufricre volcano
commenced last night.
During the preceding day Tuesday
earth tremors apparently too Slight to be
considered important, were experienced
in the central and northern parts of the
island.
At s o'clock last night there were in
dubitable indications of an eruption.
Rambling noises were heard they in
creased until 8 o'clock, when the roaring
volcanic giant belched out its deadly con-
tents This eruption was followed by
brief lull. Then, from 10 O'Clock this
morning the upheaval continued, The
outbreak was accompanied by incessant
and confused cannonading. There were
incandescant clouds and sparkling matter
was elected. After four o'clock the dis
turbance gradually decreased, but the
noise of the boiling caldron is still audi
bic in the districts near the volcano.
Both craters of the Soufriers we're APP
parcntly active; they have been steam
ing all day long. Sand fell heavily every
where from half past one until half past
tive o'clock this morning. At southern
points the sand is half an inch deep the

how soon the coal stringcncy would be

couple of days.
THE stringency is ended now," he re-
Piled You must remember that every

He RACED TO MURDER
Maddened by his Wife's Suit
for a Divorce.
Archie Woodn Flew on Wheel and Horse 10
XII his WIfe's Parents and his
own Child.
(By Assoelated Press.l

Mount Pleasant, Mich, Oct. 16-As the
bloody sequel of a divorce suit, Archie
Woodin, % years old, is under arrest
here charged with a triple murder, and
this community was shocked today by
a bloody tragedy in which Mrs. Woodn's
parents and the prisoners 1S-months- old
daughter were shot and killed. Woodin
was over-powered just as he had turned
the weapon upon himself, inflicting a
wound that is not expected to prove
fatal.
He visited the court house this morn
ing about 10 o'clock and looked over the
papers in a suit for divorce which his
wife instituted October 10th. From there
he went directly to Isbell's hardware
store, where he purchased revolver
He rode his wheel to the Gulick farm,
MIR. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick being the
first victims. Mr.. Gulick was shot twice,
once above the heart, and once in the
right side, and was instantly killed.
Woodin then turned upon his mother
in-law, who was sitting in a rocking
chair, and shot her in the throat. She
ran into the kitchen and fell upon her
hack. Woodin followed and emptied
three chambers of his revolver in her
breast, killing her.
fourteen-year- daughter of
Gulick came in at the sound of the first
shots, and seeing the blood on her moth
er'S neck, ran TO the neighbors and gave
the alarm. While running down the
road she heard the last three shots.
The murderer then dashed to his moth
er's home six miles away. He rode his
wheel for one mile. then tearing off his
coat and throwing it with his bicycle
into a fence corner ran mile and
half through the fields. He made the
last four miles on a borrowed horse.
Passing the time of day with a group
of apple pickers on his mothers farm
he entered the house as though nothing
unusual had happened, and picking up
his little girl, carried her into an empty
room. In a moment a shot rang out.
Woodn's wife was Miss Anna NJ
Gulick and they were married March
%, 1900. Woodin was a soldier in the
Cuban war. At the Jail he refuses to
talk except to express regret that he
failed to kill himself. He was laboring
under the impression that his wife's par
onts had caused the divorce proceed
ings, though his wifes bill of complaint
charged personal violence.

Mr. DAVID IRA FORT.
He Convened Yesterday and
Named County Ticket,
Nominees Pied ged not TO Withdraw. They are
Going to let COL Vim. NJ Russ
Stay In.

A large, enthusiastic and particularly
harmonious convention was held in the
city of Raleigh yesterday.
There is no doubt about it's being har-
monious, not the slightest.
Likewise there is no doubt about the
enthusiasm of it.
The convention was for the purpose of
putting in the field county ticket in
opposition to the one nominated some
time ago by the Democratic voters Of
Wake.
There were present Mr.. David Ira Fort.
The convention was called to order by
Mr.. David Ira Fort, who stated that the
first business would be the temporary
organization.
He then named Mr.. David Ira Fort for
temporary chairman. and Mr.. David Ira
Fort for temporary secretary.
Upon motion of Mr.. David Ira Fort the
temporary organization was made per
manent.
Chairman Fort then, amid the most per-
feet harmony, proceeded to appoint COM
mittees on Credentials, Permanent Or
ganization, Resolutions, Platform, etc.
Mr.. David Ira Fort was all of these
committees.
The convention next, in a very orderly
and business-like manner, went into the
nomination of ticket, which was COM
pleted and accepted by the delegates with
hardly a dissenting voice.
Every effort was made to withhold this
ticket from the News and Observer, but
somehow most of 1t leaked out, and here
it IS:
L. NJ Green. of Neuse, for sheriff.
Jack Harding, of Raleigh, for treas
urer.
D. I. Fort, of Raleigh, for register of
deeds.
w. W. Wynne, of Raleigh, for chairman
Board of County Commissioners.
Thad n. Ivey, of Cary, for the Senate.
NJ ]. Edwards, of Raleigh, and John
Parker, of Garner. for the House.
No nomination was made for clerk of
Superior court. The convention, most
likely, could not find it in it's heart to
deprive the public of those rare jokes
that graceful form that have for so long
fitted about the clerks office.
1t is understood that, in order to pre-
vent defections, it was considered neces-
sary to bind each candidate by a signed
and sealed agreement not to withdraw
from the ticket. But-that's another
story.
