number OF years he enjoyed large prac-
tice as an operative surgeon. He was one
of the Presidential Electors of New York
State, Mayor of Kingston for four years,
and held many other professional, business
and political Offices.
The latest achievement of his life was the
discovery of Cal-cura Solvent, "a positive
cure for all diseases Of the kidneys and blad-
der. lnspeaking of this remarkable remedy,
he said: "Cal-cum Solvent is the crowning
achievement of my life. 1t will not dis
appoint"

Company, of Rondout, N. Y, will pay the

Gilbert A. Eldredge Next.

The next attraction under the auspi-
ces of the Monday Club will be Mr..
Gilbert A. Eldredge, impersonator, at
the opera house Friday evening,
March Gath.
Mr., Eldredge presents widely va
ried, artistic and popular repertoire Of
costumed interpretations of high Or
der, changing quickly from humorous
to pathetic and from dramatic to senti-
mental representations.
Every~foot of available space was ia
ken, and Mr.. Eldredge was whole
show. His entertainment was de-
lightful one. The program being
mostly of humorous nature, caught
the audience from the start. He was
equally good in the female characters.
-Xenia (Ohio) Daily Gazette.
For two hours Mr.. Eldredge held
the audience under his sway, With
mastery skill he touched the emotions
of his hearers at his pleasure, now con-
vulsing them with laughter and again
bringing tears to their eyes by the in
tense pathos of his voice and manner.
1t was delightful entertainment and
if Mr.. Eldredgr should ever come this
way again he will be greeted by full
house. Lincoln Gil. News Herald.

Error in Last Weeks Soldiers Home Notes

Last week Brady says; "Col.
Brownlow should understand that a
Branch of the Soldiers Home is gov
ernmental institution, under the war
department ETC."
Now, if Mr.. Brady does not know it
already, he can find out very easily
that the ex.soldiers, (not soldiers),
homes are not under the War Depart
ment, but governed by "Board Of
Managers" appointed by Congress and
very often members of Congress are
appointed. 1t would be good thing
for the members of Soldiers Homes il
the Homes were under the control Of
the War Department, and the Board
of Managers be abolished, as it would
be saving of millions of dollars tt

TYPHOID FEVER
An Evi. That Can be Banishesi by q
Pure Water Supply.

The average city of 100000 inhabi-
tants wastes perhaps, 5000 a year
on the luxury of having typhoid. and
probably 100000 more i'm efforts to
avoid it That amount OF money PROF.
erly spent would practically eradicate
the disease. We have seen it done in
the principal European cities: yet with
the unpr0gressiveness in matters of
public health which so strangely con-
trasts with the forwarding American
spirit, our cities have continued to poi
son themselves and one another. | ones
heard a distinguished sanitarian say:
"Giye me a few million dollars and the
power TO enforce the laws. and I'll
make any city in the world typhoid
proof"
Pure water and the equipment to
keep it pure was his scheme. 1t is so
simple, so saving of grief, pain. and
even of cash, that n wonders why
civilization continues to permit a dis
ease that ought to be as nearly obso-
lete as its distant cousin, typhus.
All typhoid is traceable to polluted
water. If, for a year, the world were
TO stop drinking dilute sewage, typhoid
fever would vanish from our vital sta
tistics. Nine tenths of all infection
comes direct from bad water, the other
tenth would disappear if the principal
cause were eliminated Infected cities
and nearly all of our large cities are
constantly infected-get the disease in
one Of two ways. They drink water
polluted either by themselves or by
others. Lake communities drink their
own OffScOurings. Residents of river
municipalities welcome to their warm
and hosptable interiors the germs
which come down stream to them from
diseased cities of rural districts direct
ly infected, above, and having poison
ed themselves Herewith, pass them ON
to the waiting settlements further
along the current.-Samuel Hopkins

Several Law Suits.

The citizens east of Spencer are

of an unusually high fence which the
Southern Railway company is con-
structing around it's entire yards and
plant in Spencer. The fence is a most
substantial one and will be about IL
feet high. 1t is found that a number
of dwellings erected several years ago
having frontage Immediately upon the
line Of the right of way Of the South
ern will be practically cut off, ven the
porches in some instances being re-
moved in order to clear the line for the
fence. There seems to be no recourse
for the property as the South
ern has a right to build a fence upon
its own line.

BOTH THIEVES IN CUSTODY
Were Charged With Breaking In.o
Freight Cars-Fine Horse Drowned.
Especial to The Messenger

Goldsboro. ". c., June 20.-The pas
senger train from this city which ar
rived in Raleigh yesterday afternoon
carried a negro who was fleeing from
the clutches of the law, and the train
which arrived i'm Raleigh last night
from here carried an officer who appre-
hended the culprit and brought him
back here this morning. The negro
was Big Bill Arts, who was wanted
here for breaking into freight cars on
Sunday night. His par>eer in crime
was arrested here yesterday morning
while attempting to board a train and
leave the city. Arts utilized that part
of his leg which was turned up for him
to walk on and left the city by a coun-
try road. He boarded the train at
Princeton, and went on to Raleigh.
When he arrived in the capital city,
Chief of Police Mullins was wait1Eg
for his guest. Arts was given proper
entertainment until Officer Smith, of
this city, arrived last night. Arts and
his partner. Shake Fulford, were given
a hearing before Justice BrOadhurst at
this mornings court and were sent to
Jail. During the investigation it was
found that Arts was guilty of running
a blind tiger.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Lee had a fine horse
drowned Yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Lee
and his son Edwin drove down to Lit
tie river to inspect their fish trap. The
river was very low and instead of
crossing in a canoe, they forded the
stream. They left the horse standing
near the bank of the river while they
went to the fish trap. They heard a
splashing in the water and when they
reached the scene they found that the
horse had tried to recrOss the stream.
and was drowning in deep water. They
did all they could to save the animal,
but to avail.
