Dr. ]. B. Matthews Kills Himself.

DIR. J. 3. Matthews, the Greensboro
wife murderer, who was sentenced to
20 years at hard labor in the peTII-
Tertiary, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself in the head with pistol
in Baltimore Monday. He was out
on $1,000 bond pending action an
appeal to the Supreme court. The
verdict of the lower court was affirm
ed and Matthews disappeared. He
spent several days in Baltimore under
an assumed name, staying at cheap
lodging house and there killed him
self. Matthews killed his wife by in
jecting poison into her veins, and
many persons thought he should have
been found guilty OF murder in the
first degree and hung instead of get
ting off on a verdict of second degree
murder and sentence to n term in he
penitentiary.

Results of Election.

The election Tuesday resulted III a
victory for the Democrats IN the
State and county. A solid Demo
cratic delegation will represent North
Carolina in the next Congress. Black
burn was defeated by Hackett in the
Eighth district, and the Republicans
thus lose the only Congressman they
had from this State. Crawford beat
Britt in the Tenth (Asheville) dis
trict, the contest there being more
doubtful OF Democratic success than
any other district outside OF the
Eighth. The result in the other Con-
eressionaI districts and the State at
large was practically as foreshad-
owed-a complete Democratic vic
tory.
In Vance county the Democrats
elected their ticket by an increased
maiority-65O or 700 majority. -,
Hughes, Republican, was elected
governor of New York defeating
Hearst by over $4,000 plurality.
Perhaps more interest centered In the
result in New York than anywhere
else outside OF the State.
The next Congress will be Republl-
can but they lose 81 members to che
Democrats, as follows:
Illinois, 9; Indiana l; Iowa, ]; Mis-
souri,, 4; Nebraska, /; New Jersey: L;
New York, /; North Carolina, i; Ohio,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by the
constitutional remedies. Deafness II caused
by an in1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube When this tube
is infiamed you have a rumbiing sound i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; Line cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused By catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Express Plundering.

The Greensboro Record seems to be
familiar with the highway-robber,
stand-and-deliver methods OF the ex-
press companies whether it has felt
their iron hand or not. 1t says:
That the Express Company mana
gers are as nearly highwaymen in
their robbery OF thepublic by exorbi-
tant rates, as those clothed in purple
and fine linen can be, is known by
every one who is compelled to use
that form of transportation. Fort
unately for the people the Democrats
included these companies in the pro-
visions OF the new railroad rate bill,
which brings them under the super
vision Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The Society OF Ameri-
can Florists have just filed a COM
plant against the United States Elk
press Company charging that the
rates were arbitrarily raised on May
LIST from 25 to so per cent. This the
petitioners declare: "ls altogether
unreasonable and uniustified by the
circumstances of the case and the ex-
action is very nearly ruinous. The
United States and the other Express
Companies are controlled by the men,
such as the railroad magnate Harri
man and the decrepir Senator Platt,
and the stock is mainly owned by an
inside ring of railroad officials. These
Express Companies have been law
unto themselves, but will now have
to make-under the new lava state
ment OF their earnings and expendi-
lures as the railroads do, and we shall
soon know just how much OF their
plundering can be Topped off with. JUS
ticeto them and their customers.
Those who feel they are subjected
to unreasonable rates, should file
their complaints with the evidence OF
the transaction with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Washington,

Biz Show Almost Here.
Many Sensations Promised by the
Barnum & Bailey Circus Man.
aQement.

A great deal OF interest has been arous-
ed by the announcements Of the Barnum
& Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, and
circus day in Henderson. Thursday, Nov.
18th, promises to be one OF the biggest
days ever known in circus annals here.
The coming of the big show is, in itself,
IN event OF Importance to thousands OF
circus-lovers but added interest is given
to the circus engagement this year by
the announcement OF an unusually large
number OF arenic features OF a novel and
even sensational character.
resume of this years arenic features
gives the following interesting informa-
ton: The show opens with a new spec
tacle, depicting with military and ale
gorical display the closing days of the
Russo-J japanese war in Manchuria, and
the successful termination Of the san
culinary struggle through the diplomatic
Offices OF the President of the United
States. The spectacle bears the mean
ing title, Peace and is the most am
bilious and gorgeous military display
ever attempted by q circus management.
The circus proper, which follows the
spectacle, serves to introduce 300 artists
from all parts Of the world in a gigantic
triple-ring arenic performance. Among
the famous acts are the Imperial Wen
nese Troupe OF aerialists; the Stoves, in a
new and novel performance called the
Aerial Tremplin;' the F1orenz, La Mont
and Grunatho TrOupes OF acrobats; the
Troupe La Carmen, in a remarkable Sc
ries of feats on a high wire; the Bisera
and Vorlop companies OF whirlwind
embracing Josie Demott, the sOmersault-
exuestrenne; the Rooneys, Fred and Ella
Bradna, Dallie Julian and Fred Ledgett,
Pauline He'll, Celia Sebastian, Ouika and
Marie Meers, Fred Derrick, VIM. Melrese,
VIM. DeMott, Chas. Siegrist; and Les
Rowlandes, who give q clever acrobatic
act in a tallyho; all kinds OF trained ami
NAL displays, presenting Thompson's
horses, a remarkable company Of equines
that perform surprising feats ut liberty
and in harness; double herd OF trained
seals;a combination act, introducing two
ponies, a baby elephant and dogs; and
three herds OF elephants in q big battle
scene; q company OF forty clowns, whose
mission is to inject comedy into the per-
formance, and in which they are uprOar-
iously successful; revival OF the old
Roman HippodrOme on scale OF unpar-
alleled grandeur, and geological collec-
ton embracing four giraffes, the only
bi-horned rhinOceros in the United States
and hundreds of other rare and curious
wild beasts.
With oil these attractions-and they
would seem to be sufficient to satisfy the
most cxacting-severald distinct thrillers
are announced. In the dip OF Death" a
daring American girl rides forty feet
through the air in OH inverted racing
machine, and in the 1.-TWO Twirls OF Ter
ror.' the Boiler Brothers, two daring BIZ
cyclists, turn mid-a somersaults on their
wheels. These acts might aptly be term
ed "the limit" for each in its way seems
to be the extreme point to which human
daring and ingenuity may go without
counting certain destruction.
