TESTS PATIENCE
The Most Patient Wilmington Citizen
Must Show Annoyance at Times.

Nothing spoils a good disposition,
Nothing taxes n mans patience,
Like an itching of the skin.
Itching piles almost drive you crazy.
All day it makes you miserable,
All night it keeps you awake.
Itch! Itch. Itch. with no relief.
Just the same with Eczema.
Can hardly keep from scratching it.
You would do so but you know it
makes it worse.
Such miseries are daily decreasing.
People are learning they can be
cured.
Learning the merit Of Doan's Oint-
ment.
Plenty of proof that Doan's Oint-
ment will cure Piles, Eczema or any
Itchiness of the skin.

WOOD PIPING
Cheaper and More Durable rs Conduifs
for Water Supplies.

Speaking about the novelty in using
wood stave pipe for the water mains,
as a matter Of fact it is not new. 1t is
merely an improvement over a very
old system. Fayetteville put down
wood pipe for her water works y e
seventy years ago n while a new
system was put in some years ago. 1t
is said the pipe is yet perfectly sound.
In the case of that town, they put
down huge logs with holes bored
through them, while the pipe now be-
ing used is made of slaves and put
together like a barrel The average
life Of a piece Of casting is said to be
forty years and ii must be a perfect
piece of work to stand this long.
Were something to happen 10 pre-
vent water from entering a wood
en- pipe for a year or two and it should
become perfectly dry it would play
out, just as u bucket or barrel, but
being not only covered with earth and
filled with water it will take a long
time to rot or become useless. We
are not sure that We have the figures
exactly right but the water commits
sion of Greensboro saved a matter of
fifty or sixty thousand dollars in the
use of wood stave pipe In the new
system as compared with iron pipe.
This is an item worth saving. Speak
ing about the fitness n durability of
wood pipe, it is a well known fact that
in Atlantic City iron pipe would no
last over 10 years. The chemicals mix
ed with salt water DESTROYED ii fast.
This wood staye pipe vas put down a
number of years ago-about ID, if we
recall the facts-and it is all right and
as sound as a dollar.-Greensboro

FOUL MURDER AT ROCK MOUNT
Fun Lee. a Chinaman, Slain by an
Unknown Assassin - No Arrests
Made.

Early pedestrians Friday morning
found on the railroad track, in the
main part Of town, almost directly in
front Of the savings bank, a Chinese
laundryman named Fun Lee, evident
ly murdered. Three stabs in the face
and one near the shoulder in the back
are evident III of his death, though
his body appeared to have been plac-
ed in. the position in which it was
found with the evident desire of the
murderer to make it appear hat he
was killed by a passing train. His
o%vercoat, shoes and cap were found
at different points scattered along the
railroad from near the freight depot
to the drug store corner
His companion in the laundry bus
mess gives out the statement to cas-
ual inquirers that he left the new
laundry last night about II O'Clock to
go to the old laundry on Railroad
street to look after some business.
Later in the night, he having failed to
return, they became anxious and ask
him. SO the night wore ON without
his return and not until after daylight
was his body discovered, lying cold
and evidently several hours dead, as
above stated.
Fun has been a resident of this
place for several years, always quiet
and accommodating. He was a ia
vorite with all who patronized the
laundry. A mystery hangs over the
affair, which only time can reveal.
Nobody has been arrested and no
one has been suspected. 1t is said
that a strange Chinaman waited over
here between trains last night, but the
depot agent says he did not leave the
depot.-Tarboro Southerner.

A RELIABLE MEDICINE.

So many patent medicines and ad-

pIofit by his advice.
Our local druggist, Mr.. Fred L..
Janeck, says, "After having sold
dlugs, and all kinds and makes of
medicines for so many years, natur-
ally we have learned something about
them-their value and power to cure,
and we want to say to the readers OF
the Herald that if the people OF
North Yakima only realized the real
curative and strengthening power OF
our cod liver oil preparation, Vinol,
we would not have clerks enough in
our store to fill the demand for it"

Vinol is not a patent medicine, and 1t
actually contains all the fe-giving,

MADDEN FINED 10000.
Jap Fined $40, and Both Men Were
Placed i'm Custody.

Frank Madden, white man, and
Hoshimo, Japanese, were brought
before police court Friday night at
1880 o'clock, charged with commit
ting breach of the peace. Koike,
another Jap, was charged with the
same offense, but he was in the hos
pital and unable to appear.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Doust imposed a fine of $50 on Frank
Madden and SO on Hoshimo. In de-
fault of paying the fine the offenders
were committed to custody to await
bonds. II. J. Snively appeared for the
Japs, being engaged by the Japanese
government to defend it's subjects
from assault by citizen of this coun-
try.
AS to the cause of the trouble, the
evidence was very conflicting. Mad
den claims that he was in the Sher-
man saloon, dancing to the music
when he accidentally butted into one
of the Japs, knocking his hat of and
the Japanese became very angry and
dared him out to fight, which invi-
tation he declined. When he got
ready to go home he was attacked by
a large number of Japs on the side
walk and was thrown into the ditch,
with the Japs on top of him. He de-
MES striking the Japs at all.
The claim made by the Japs is that
seven of them went into Sherman's
saloon to get a drink, and without
any provocation, Madden struck one
of them in the left eye, while in the
saloon. While the man that was
struck was trying to find a justice OF
the peace to have warrant sworn
out, the other Japs kept watch about
the saloon so as not to let Madden
escape. When he came out they took
hold of him to try to prevent him
from going away until the warrant
was served. After the decision of
The court was rendered Attorney
Snively gave notice of appeal to the
superior court, stating that he would
take 70 further action in the matter
until he received notice from tee
Japanese government. The case of
Koike will most likely come up Mon
day, or as soon thereafter as he is
able to leave the hospital.
