According to Reports 1t Is Daily Be-
coming More Unpopular.
New York, Jan. 26.-The Anglo
German alliance becomes Sre unpop-
ular every day, according to a dis
patch from London to The Tribune.
Rightly or wrongly the feeling Is grow
ing that the Berlin government isIdo-
ing its best to involve England In a
quarrel with America. 1t is difficult
to say what will be the outcome of the
San Carlos incident
Henry Norman, who is one of the
ablest critics of foreign affairs in the
house of commons, points out that al
though the Monroe doctrine has been
formally recognized by Great Britain
it has not been recognized by Ger
many, and as nobody who follows Ger
man opinion closely doubts for a mo-
ment that misunderstanding be-
tween this country and America would
be very far from being a matter for
sorrow in Germany, it was a master
stroke of diplomacy for the kaiser to
inveigle the British government into
this alliance for joint action within
the sphere Of the Monroe doctrine.

Dying Man ExOnerated Slayer.

Charlotte, N. c., Jan. 26.-W. P.
Noles, who was accidentally shot by
T. W. Dixon, while the latter was
showing him a revolver, died at an
early hour Sunday morning. Noles'
dying statement was that Dixon was
in no way to blame for his death.
Noles leaves wife and several chill
dren. The body was taken to Lincoln
ton for burial. Dixon is heart-broken
over the sad occurrence. Only a few
years ago Dixon lost his wife and two
children in fire that burned his home
at Rutherfordton. The sad accident
coupled with the death of wife and
children has well nigh crazed him.

medicine a trial [ procured it, and those who
sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on l used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

from 16 to 25 patients to take care of
during the night, and these patients
have to be watched closely.

AUDIENCE WAS PLEASED
MclMinnviIIe WOodman MinstreIs
Gave Enjoyable Performance
at City Hall.

The McMinnville Woodmen give a
good show This is the unanimous
verdict Of all who attended the min
strel performance given by the mem
bers of McMinnviIle Camp, No. 229,
at the City, Hall, Tuesday evening,
Owing to heavy downpour Of rain,
the attendance was not as large as it
would have been under more favorable
conditions, the hall being only COM
fortably filed. The performance was
far superior to those usually given by
the travelling minstrel companies that
visit the interior towns, and the work
Of some Of the boys, notably that Of
Dave Doty, DR.. Fl. L. Toney and
Elmer Cummins, was decidedly clever.
If Mr.. Doty has not had experience in
professional minstrel work, the Oh
SERVER misses its guess. He has the
easy stage presence Of the veteran
performer, and is fun-maker of rare
ability. His song, 'T'm So Tired
o'Livin'," was the hit of the evening,
Elmer Cummins did a neat turn on
the slack wire, and was rewarded by
liberal applause. DR.. H. L. Toney
surprised and delighted the audience
by his performance on the flying
rings. The Doctor is a powerful
athlete, and during his student days
at the University of Michigan was the
champion performer on the flying
rings and horizontal bars. The at
tractive features of his work are the
graceful manner and apparent ease
with which he performs the most diff
cult feats. The Woodman Quartet
Dell Wheeler, Will Logan, Dell War
rem and Dave Doty, were received
with much favor, and were compelled
to respond to two encores. Dan Feely,
the well-known. band and orchestra
leader, welded the baton in the
numbers. Harry Connoway,
a former Dallas boy, and Miss May
Kennedy, recently of Independence,
were members of the orchestra.
