MRS. DUKE is FREE
Texas Announces that it Gives
up the Case.

Texas Announces that it Gives
up the Case.
New York, Feb. Mrs. Brodie
L. Duke was discharged from Gus
tody today because of the failure OF
the Texas authorities to send on
requisition papers. When Mrs.
Duke was arraigned the district at
torney called the courts attention to
the letter he had received from Dis
tlict Attorney Imboden, of Texas,
in which Mr.. Imboden says that he
would not insist on the prisoner be-
ing held any longer. Magistrate
Poole said:
"These Texas people have been
trying to trifie with the District At
torney's office and the New York
authorities too long. There is some
thing strange about the way they
conduct their criminal prosecutions
in Texas. 1 will have to discharge
this woman. 1 am tree to say that l
think she has suffered a great hard
ship. am i.clined to regard this
Texas Indictment in the same light
as Mr.. Levey has referred to it, a
fake"
Upon leaving the court Mrs. Duke
went to her counse's office to confer
on what steps she shalt take to be re-
united with her husband.
Mrs. Duke has aroused fresh in
terest in her case by the announce
ment made through her council that
she is to become mother.
Mr.. Levey made this announce
ment when Mrs. Duke was brought
into court in an effort to secure her
freedom. The lawyer asked that
Mrs. Duke be paroled in his custody,
declaring that she being kept pris-
oner was plot on the part of the
relatives of her husband to keep her
out of the way until Brodie L. Duke
could be subjected to me iical exami-
nation.
"They don't want me to be pres
ent at the medical examination of
my husband," said Mrs. Duke.
"Only today received another let
ter from him telling me to keep up
my courage"

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION
Senator Simmons Is Right In
Urging North Cardinals
Advantages.

Avices from Chicago indicate that
a substantial movement of home.
seekers from the Northwest to the
South and Southwest has set in.
This conclusion Is based upon in
quiries which railroads are receiving
and upon the fact that the move
ment has already begun. Senator
Simm ons is endeavorlng to get our
people aroused on the subject and we
cordially commend his efforts.
North Carolina should gladly well
come immigration OF the class re-
ferret. 20. " nave large amount
of fertile lands in this State not yet
peopled only waiting for the thrifty
settler in order to blossom like rose,
and the immigrants we are seeking
are as class thrifty and law-abiding
and make most excellent cItlzens.
They will find here a genial climate,
productive soil, great natural advan-
tages, good school ald church tacIli-
ties and ample Railroad au\ antages
for shipping to market.
The railroads can be powerful fac
tors in immigration. 1t is within
their power to settle every acre Ut
vacant land in the South with an
and desirable population,
but they need the moral and mate
rial support of the Southern people
to uo this. 1t therefore behooves the
Organizations of The
Soutn in particular to support
che railroads In this IaudabIe un ier-
taking. OF course more settlers m ,au
larger revenues for the railroads, out
they also make for the general up-
building of this section.

Dreamed Also the fdenity of the
Man Who Robbed Him--And
Behold it All Came True.
Washington, N. C.. ,Feb.7.-A queer
but true story emanate5 from Au-
rora, Washington's prosperous neigh
Dor.
Mr.. F.~F. Cherry, one of the lead
ing merchants there, dreamed re-
Gently that mis- store was broken into
and robbed. The dream was very
realistic one, even the Identity of
the thief being discovered to him.
The morning after he went to the
store with the spell of the dream
still strong on him and to his utter
amaze found his dream realization.
A number of articles had been taken,
including several watches and suit
of clothes. So strongly impressed
was he by the vision that he got out
search warrant which was served
on the man of whom he had dream
las given the ct protested but his
trunk was searched and therein
were fonnd the stolen articles.
This unusual story is properly
vOuched for.

CONFESSES HIS CRIME.
M'CUE WAS HANGED THIS
MORNING.
On the Gal1OWS He COnfesses
the Murder of His Wife.
Drop Falls at 1884.

A message over the Southern Bel
Telephone, long distance service
from Charlottesville, Va, this morn
ing brings the information that
Samuel McCue, ex-mayor of thai
5ity, was hanged there this morning
at 1884 O'Clock for the murder of his
wife, which atrocions crime he com.
mitted in their home-in their bed
chamber Sunday night September
4, on their return from church, and
his guilt of which he confessed on the
gallows this morning just before the
drop fell launching him into eternity
At the time of the murder McCue
claimed tn 1t az intruder had entered
tneir bedro )m just after their return
from church, and while they were
preparing to retire.
Later, the Wife was found beaten
anu shot to death in the bath tub.
McCue offered a liberal reward.
A coroner's jury Immediately be-
gan an inquisition. Before it con-
cluded its work McCue was arrested,
charged with the murder of his Wife.
The accused retained brilliant coun-
81. He was indicted at the Septem-
oer term of court, was arraigned and
? eaded not guilty. The case was set
trial at the October term.
Great difficulty was experienced in
letting jury Just 1853 veniremen
were summoned before IL jurors
were accepted. The cost for jurors
and mileage was 81, $500.
Hearing of testimony was began
Octo GER Goth. Instructions were Of
fered and argued, the case elaborate
ly argued and given to the jury be-
fore noon November 9Th. In less
than thirty minutes the jury report
ed a verdict of guilty. Motion to
set aside the verdict was refused. An
appeal was allowed, the petition and
record prepared and forwarded to the
appellate court January 8, 1905. The
court refused the writ of error.
Subsequently, counsel for McCue
fled a supplementary petition, urg-
ing the importance of the issue pre-
sented. The court, after due con-
sideration, handed down an exhaus-
tive written opinion, denying the
writ and emphatically declaring the
verdict just and justifable one.
Thus, with this mornings execu-
ton, the curtain falls upon one of
the most atrocious and remarkable
crimes in the history of Virginia,
both for its Nervousness and the pre-
vious high character and official po-
sition of the murder.

A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into

nose, throat and lungs, has been real.

cal method that would obviate stom

"Bear ArnS.'

The Order of Americans of Armo-
rial Ancestry is another organic ton
which affords exercise to the Order
of Unmitigated American Snobs.
The purpose of the order is to deter
mine what persons in the United
States are entitled to "bear arms" by
virtue of the blue blood in their
veins and a royal grant originally y
bestowed by king across the water.
Thus far only twenty-five "noble''
families nave been discovered, and
it can readily be seen that the order
is nothing if not ultra.

A THEATRICAL FEAST.
The Great Maud Muller Com
pany Will Have tn. Boards
of the Messenger Opera
House Next Thurs
day Night.
day Night.

There is always a fascination about
the story of an unequal match. In
the drama "Maud Muller' we are
enabled to see what "might have
been" had the good old quaker poet
suffered his learned judge and his
modest Woodworking damsel come
together as young people generally
do in this prosaic world of ours. And
the play is no experiment, for it was
a popular success years since, and It
only disappeared because its talented
star, Genevieve Rogers, permaturely
died.
The comedy, "Maud Muller"
tells a story necessarily different
from Whittier's touching verses, for
in the drama the Judge, here called
Reuben Wayne, weds the pretty
haymaker, and after keeping her at
school several years takes her to his
grand home. But the marriage
proves a failure for the time, a re-
suit due to the mach nations Of the
Judges naughty sister, rheodora.S
poor little Maud, thinking her aug
ust spouse ashamed of his rustic
bride, steals away, and hides herself
in the home of a backWoods poet.
The plot is not un ike that of
Hazel Kirke, or Minnie Maddern's
comedy, Caprice, but the characters,
incidents, and situations are essen
tically different, and it possesses
much more humor. 1t is beaming
with the warm rays of love and
sweetness. 1t nestles close to nature
and acts as serene potion to the
tired mind, for
GA manly form at her side she
| saw,
And joy was duty and love was
| law"
| Miss BenlA Thompson, as "Maud
Muller" ,"has easily won the audiences
wherever this great, tender, sympa-
thetic, romantic play has been pre-
sented, for she is an actress of unus-
ual ability and is surrounded by a
company Of players who have q
reputation par excellence. Miss
Thompson is the neice of Daniel Sully
the great cotton fnancier, and is g
favorite everywhere.
A select and excellent company
has been secured for the present pro-
ductiOn.

Poor John l.. Sallivan is reported
to be dying of pneumonia in st.
Louis. If he does not pass away
this time, the chances are that the
former champion has not much
longer to live. Sullivan is pitiful
example of man who has not only
been counted out in the prize ring,
but in the battle of life as we'll. His
life has been a theme for preachers
and reformers, and he has himself
descanted at length on his failings.
But there is nothing UNUSUAL in Sui
livan's downfall. Neither is he the
only prize fighter who has found
himself at the bottom of the ladder
before he realized that he was fall
ing. Sullivan was perhaps the great
est fighter who ever lived. He made
a fortune and threw it away. Now
he is sick and his race appears to be
about finished. Sullivan's latest
venture to make money was lee
ture tour. 1t does not appear that
he was waxing opuient when he be-
came ill.
