MrI. CheSIer curry

Anervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly
The ills of women act like a frebrand
upon the nerves consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, e" the blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability Of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute You
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snapPy?
If so, your nerves are IN a shattered
condition, and You are threatened with
nervous p~rostration-
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra'
ton than Lydia E Pinkham's Vege-

GAME THAT soBBIE KNEW.
Youngsters Revelations Were Inter
esting to Caller.

A young fellow had called upon a
girl with whose charms he was some
what smitten. and was waiting in the
parlor when her small brother come
in, weeping bitterly. From either a
sense of polite p%recaution or natural
kindness of heart, the young man had
been kind to the little fellow on sew
eral occasions, and now took him on
his lap and asked the cause Of the
trouble.
"sis-sister is mean to me-" the little
fellow sobbed.
"Oh, 1 guess she didn't intend TO be;
maybe you worried her when she was
busy" the youth said consolingly
What was she doing?'
She was playin', an wouldn't LEI
me play, too" Bobby said.
playing what? The piano?
guess she thought you didn't know
how"
"Oh, yes, I know how better'n she
does" Bobby asserted She wa:
playin' Indian, an wasn't putting hal
'nough paint on her face"

Praetieed What He Preached.

Rev. Denis P. o'Flynn, of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he
has left no d~iscoverable estate-no
money in bank, no money in the rec
tory. He died as poor as the proyerb-
ial church mouse" says his assistant,
Father Corrigan. What little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He eve saved a
penny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had"

Why Music Attracts Spiders.

It has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but a French inves'
tigator, NJ. Lecaillou. now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed
merely to greed or to hunger. When
a fly is caught in a spiders web IL
buzzes, and the spider Immediately
makes for the place from which the
buzzing comes. NJ. Lecaillou, by ex'
perimenting with a violin, some flies,
a piano, v~ioloncello and a cornet,
found that only those musical sounds
which resembled the buzzing of the
flies attracted the spiders. The cornet,
for Instance, invariably frightened it,
and so did the piano.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps US
Strong And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter n blood.
They work night and day. When
heealthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
fer is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms-pain
in the back, headache, nervousness
hot. dry skin, rheumatism, govt, grav-
el. disorders of the eyesight n near
ing. dizziness, irregular heart, deolllty'
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits IN the
urine. etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no u with
your kidneys. .
E. Poezolt, merchant tailor OF
Eighth South Front street residing at
S15 North Sixth street, says: M
wife used Doan's Kidney Pills and in
her case they proved to be an effective
remedy She suffered with her ankles
and could scarcely get down stairs in
the morning. We thought 1t was
rheumatism, and her ankles would be
all puffed up every morning so she
could hardly hobble around. Since OBJ
tanning Doan's Kidney Pills at Z. R.

she seems like another person. She
is better in the morning, the swelling

she obtained we are only too glad to

BEFORE THE MAYOR
Several Property N Required o
Prevent Cutters FrOm Empty1nS
Upon the Sidewalks.

Messrs. NJ. J. Heyer. J. Allen Taylor,
J. c. Heyer and r. w. Hicks were be-
fore the mayor yesterday upon the
charge of not having cutters fixed that
empty upon the sidewalk in front of
their places of business on Water
street. They agreed to have the gut
ters changed and judgment was sus-
pended.
Some of the worst cutters to be
found in the business section are on
Princess and Front streets. In some
places where grooves are cut across
the sidewalk the water ONE out of
pipes in such a volume when there is
a heavy rain as to flood the whole
sidewalk, something hat would not
occur if pipes were put under the
street. Mayor Waddell stated some
time since that he was n OF going to
allow the bitches to remain open but
that the property owners would have
to put down pipes and cover them
over. There are several places or
Front street where the appearance OF
nice granOlithic pavement is ruined
by having grooves cut across same. A
man canno walk along the streets
and look people in the face in Wi
mington for if he does he is likely to
step into some of the grooves across
the streets and get a fall.

A case somewhat out of the ordinary
was heard before Justice George Har-
riss yesterday, not unusual on account
Of the nature of the case, but by eas0n
of the fact that it was a jury trial.
In a magistrates court six men only
compose the jury although twelve nave
to be drawn from the jury box. This
is said to have been the first jury
trial held here in some years past te-
fore a magistrate. And the jury tried
to carry out the role o. juries In the
higher courts, for they took consider
able time to agree upon a verdict. 1t
is said when they went out they sod
three to three, but after being DuJ
about half an hour reached a verdict.
The case was an ejectment proceed
ing brought by Mr.. James Owen Reilly
to get possession of a store on South
Front street which was to have been
occupied by Messrs. Sloan and Sweeney
who are going to open a hardware
store. There was a disagreement as
to a clause in the contract, the present
occupant. Josh Simon cOntending hat
he has a right to remain in the store
for another year, and Mr.. Reilly wanted
possession on the first Of October. The
jury in the case was composed ii
| Messrs. J.. A. Springer, w. E. Glenn,
J. T. Runge, T. W. Wood, Henry
Hewlett and G. w. Mathis.
The trial took place yesterday after
noon and was heard by quite a large
crowd for a trial by jury In a magis-
trate's court is something out OF the
ordinary. Hon. John D. Bsllamy ap'
| peared for the present OCCUPANT Of tn;
store, and ex-Judge E. K. Bryan rep
resented Mr.. Reilly. The cas- vas de
cided against Mr.. Reilly and notice o.
appeal was given.
Messrs Sloan and Sweeney nav:
rented two of the stores i'm the new
VESSEL block and are now getting il
their stock and in a few days will b
ready to open for business. They hac

UNIVERSITY DAY
Alumni Of the University of North
Carolina All Over the State will OBJ
serve October 18th.

October the 10Th is University day
and it has become a custom in all OF
the larger towns in the state for the
alumni of the University of North
Carolina to gather and have a few ap-
propriate speeches which aid in hold
ing the University men together and
keeps them mindful of their alma
mater. The observance by all Of the
sons of the institution a added
prestige and strength of the University.
The custom of the University men
observing October 18th vas inaugu-
rated a few years since and the day
never passes without being observed
and this is especially true In Whining
ton where there are a large number
of University men.
Two years ago the Wilmington
alumni held a banquet at the Orton

Lumina. So far nc steps have been
taken towards celebrating the day but
before the 18th arrives something will
be done and the day f1ttingly observed.

Upon the visit of Pawnee Bills
Wild West and Far East Exhibition
to this city there will be presented a
wonderful performance of horseman-
ship and brilliancy of action, the like
of which has scarcely been %equaled,

parsons, Of course, are undesirable,
but the show which Major Gordon W.

fciently from n other tented exhibi-
ton touring America TO make a refer
ence to it's unique distinctive features
by means detrimental to anything that
has preceded it, or may folloW. Paw
nee Bills entertainment is a marvel
ously true realization Of the id a with
which il originated, coupled with GER
tain developments which are inevlta-
BILE in such an exhibition, which has
long ago OutgrOwn its ~sWaddllng

on in the direction of making the show
more cosmopolitan until now, in add

will be seen in feats of hOrsemanship,
sports and pastimes peculiar 10 them
selves. All this lends peculiar inter-
est to the exhibition, showing, as it
does, something of the personal man
ner and methods of hOrsemen from all
ovar the world. Especially does in
terest attach to the Indians, survivors
and remnants of a race fact disap-
pearing. So it is with the cowboy
whose vocation, largely owing to the
barbed wire fence, is rapidly disap-
pearing.
Major Lille presents horsemen from
Europe, Asia, Mexico and South Amer
lea, and as a study of the horse, his
entertainment is a living college, 6
graphic school Of e%quitation. All IL
all, a program pregnant with interest
to lovers Of the horse and all that is
daring and dashing is promised.
1t only remains to be added that
wet or fine, the program will be
carried out in it's entirety, in this city

HIGH TEMPERATURE PREVAILED
Heat During September Higher Than
in Several Years Past-Rainfall Be-
low Normal.

The summary of the local weather
bureau for the month of September
shows that the weather was warmer
than usual and in fact was the warm
est September since 1900 when the
mean temperature was the same as
the month just passed, II. Mean tenn
p9rature for the "a years that the bd-
reau has been established is "A degrees.
There are but four instances where
the mean was as high as during the
past month, and in only one of these
instances did the mercury average
above II, and that was in 1881 Wnen
the mean was 70. Lowest temperature
for the month was on the Sth when it
was 62. Lowest on record for the
month is AZ. This has been all uu-
usually warm fall and so far there has
not been any weather that felt like
fall Of the year in reality, but it haa
been more like August.
Although the weather has been very
warm the rainfall was not as great as
usual, the average being SIG, while
last month it was only 3.41 inches. Sep
TENDER, 1906, will long be Remembered
as the month of the severe storm which
wrought such damage On the beaches
and to the big dams along the Cape
Fear river. But the storm will be out
little to remember when compared 10
the one that swept over the Mississippi
valley during the latter part Of the
month.
The time of the year has arrived
for some cool weather. but the weather
bureau man is not predicting any yet
and a glance at the weather map shows
that high temperatures prevail over
the greater portion of the United
States. There was but one point yes
terday where the record showed the
thermometer was below forty and that
was in Maine. People in eastern North
Carolina would be extremely glad tc
see some cool weather.

the electrical locomotive is capable OF
eighty-two miles an hour, with as lit
tie friction and no further Earring than
when it is running forty miles an
hour.
EMPLOYEES Of the railroad showed in
