TIE w. II. KING DRUG co. TELL
THE PEOPLE OF RALEIGH.

Asked one day in his store the ques-
ton, what is good for bronchitis p
Mr. King, of the w. II. King Drug
Co, answered, The best way l car,

ter from Miss Anna Ray, of Bangor,
Me. We have lots of such cases right
here at home"
1t reads as follows:
For five years l was troubled with
a terrible cough and bronchitis. l
tried great many different prepare
tons without getting relief. l could
not sleep, and ] became so weak 1
could hardly walk, and coughing day
and night. Then l took Vinol. What
a godsend that first bottle was! | had
not taken half of it before L noticed
change for the better. ] took four
bottles in all and am entirely cured,
and in perfect health.
"Now we have been talking UP
Vinol to the people of Raleigh for a
long time" continued Mr.. King, land
/ suppose some people think we are
crazy on the subject, but really we
hear such marvellous results from
Nino all the time that we believe it to
be the greatest remedy for coughs,
colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles that we have ever sold
in our store. 1t never disappoints
pCOpiC, anu We wv LINZ " SCiA q inns
that gives satisfa ction Finol is cod
liver oil medicine without the oil, and
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil

do more good, for it is delicious to
the taste and powerful as q curative
agent.
I'VE wish every person in Raleigh
who is overWorked, run down. debili-
tated, every old person, every weak
woman, every sufferer with fall colds
bronchitis or incipient consumption
every nervous, irritable person or any
one suffering with stomach troubles

GOOD FRIDAY NOTED
Although Not Legal Holiday
Day Is Generally Observed.

Good Friday was generally observed
as holiday in st. Paul, although it
has no legal standing as such. 1t is
what is classed as a bank holiday"
depending for it's recognition on the
general suspension of business.
With but few exceptions, the city,
county, state and government offices
were closed. Those making an excep-
ton to the rule were such as the city
clerk and few others where delay in
filing papers might bring about COM
pications. The mail carriers were COM
PEELED to work. Practically all Of the
business houses were closed, the ex-
ceptiOn being number of grocery
stores, which were open for business
during the morning.
Many of the large enterprises shut
down for the day. and in a number of
instances the WOrkmen were informed
that they need not report until Monday,
1T being considered inadvisable to re-
open for today. Throughout the city
the day was observed to such a de-
gree that it was remarked that the
legislature might as we'll have passed
the bill proposed to make it a legal
holiday. The general observance will
likely result in the renewal Of the agi-
tatiOn to this effect.
In the various churches services
were in accordance with the respective
rituals, the attendance being large.

KING WANTS PARDON
Appeals for. Fourth Time for
Release From Prison.

Norm" King, the convicted Minneapolis
city detective, will be an applicant for
pardon at the meeting of the state par
doning board, scheduled for Monday.
April II.
Norman King was convicted June %.
1902, and sentenced to three years at the
state penitentiary for being accessory to
felony. His case was one of those con-
nected with the Minneapolis municipal
scandal. Several unsuccessful efforts
have been made to secure either a pardon
or communication of his sentence for King.
Three different times his appeal has been
denied, but it is said that his wife has
now prevailed upon Judge Simpson, the
Minneapolis jurist who sat in judgment
on the case, to, recommend at least a
communication for her husband. Mrs King
has labOred faithfully in her imprisoned
husbands behalf to bring about his re-
lease and in her efforts she has the SYM
minstration circles.
The board Of spardons, it is said. will
have large number of applications for
parole and pardon before it when it con-
venes April II. Notices were yesterday
sent by Charles j. Moos, clerk of the
board, to a large number of judges who
presided at the trials of applicants for
clemency. 1t is said that nearly if not
quite forty cases will be considered by
the board Of pardonS at its next meet
ing. srlal
w. J. Donahower, the newly-appointed
attorney general, will sit for the first
time on the board at it's April meeting.
