In view of the position taken by the Russian government at the time of the Kishineff affair the report of the Amer ican charge at St. Petersburg that no foreigners or foreign interests were jeopardized in the recent anti-Semite riot at Gomel, closes the Incident so far as the state department is concern ed.

Bad ger, who was .attorney for the dead man, and who accompanied the body, said: "'Mr. Dexter had many enemies because of his relentless warfare against game poachers, timber cutters and tresspassers.

Young girls at this period of life, or their mothers, are earnestly in vited to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; all such letters are strictly confidential; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women ; and her advice is freely and cheerfully given. School days are danger days for American girls. Often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover tha lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps they are not over-careful about keeping their feet dry; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sickness is "usually rendered very severe. Then begin ailments which should be removed at once, or they will Eroduce constant suffering. Headache, faintness, slight vertigo, pains l the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others, are symptoms all indicating that woman's areuenemy is at hand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many a young girl over this critical period. With it they have gone through their trials with courage and safety. With its proper use the young girl is safe from the peculiar dangers of school years and prepared for earty womanhood. A Young Chicago Girl "Studied Too Hard," "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I wish to thank you for the help and ben efit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Piukliam's Vege table Compound and Iaver Pills.

Goldsboro, X. C, September 2. The election of oa" bishop coadjutor for the East Carolina Diocese will take place in this city on the 7th of October. The election will take place in St. Steph en's Episcopal church. There will be over 200 clergy and laymen present to participate in the meeting. The -election is called because Bishop "Watson is not able to perform the duties of his office. The congregation of St. Steph en's church are making extensive pre parations to entertain the delegates. Relatives in this section have just been informed of the death of 3Ir. "West Holland at his home in Okla homa. He was a former resident of this county and was at one time regis ter of deeds. The death of Mrs. R. M. Cox occurred yesterday at her home in Grantham's township. Her death was sudden. She leaves an aged husband and several grown children. She had relatives in this city, where she was well known. ! The broom drill in the tobacco ware house last night for the benefit of the organ fund of the Episcopal church was a great success and the promoters realized a handsome sum from the un dertaking. Captain Cohen, of the Goldsboro Rifles, had been drilling twvntv voung lales-jn the manual of ! amis (brooms) for the past month. They went through with the commands last night with a rythm and precision j which showed how well they had been j instructed. A large crowd was pres- I ent to witness the performance and the j ladies dispensed delightful refresh- j ments. : Col. W. D.

The recent drop in the. price has caused the planters to fear fur ther decrease and they are taking no chances on that score, but are selling all they can get ready.

C, September 2$. Interest increases daily in the dis pensary election, which is to be ne.'ci here October 3th. Both sides continue to make claims of a sweeping victory and nobody knows what will be the re sult. The state superintendent of ruiblio instruction nas prepared an article composed of clippings from newspa pers m 40 counties, giving opinion as to the educational campaign now in prosrress all over the state. These opinions are very favorable indeed, and particularly srratify the superin tendent. On the 6th day of October, the Ral eigh Chamber of Commerce will give a free excursion on the Raleigh and Cape Fear railway in compliment to the people of Lillington and of Har nett county. Five hundred invitations will be issued, to each excursionist will be given a button as a souvenir of the event. State Treasurer Lacr left today for Graham to participate in the cere monies at the laying of the corner stone of the eraded school there. It is very evident that the reunion of non-residents at Greensboro next month is going to be an Immense af fair, as already more than 5,000 names of non-residents have been received who express their intention of attend ing. Five hundred newspapers, all over the United States and Canada published the invitation to attend this reunion. Answers have -come from Australia, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. There are now 55 female state con victs, of whom 35 are at the state farm. Of the 20 remaining here, seven are white. The two white men. Med lin and Rice who hid in a loft for nine days and were finally found, have for feited all the good conduct time they gained, this being three days in each month. To this five days is added for each 50 days gained, so.it will readily be seen that good conduct is its own reward. There are some very desper ate convicts in the nenitentiarv. and there are three or four especially so, who are ring leaders, although very quiet men to all apnearances, three of these being murderers and another a safe cracker. Various rumors have been current during the past few weeks to the effect that some of !V.p- convlcts had arms, bvit it is probable that the officials inspect their cells and persons so frequentl- as to guard against such thing as this. It appears that the desperate safe- blower who is at work in this state and who has recently dynamited at least six postofflce safes, is Frank Duncan, for whom the sheriff at Bur lington, Ala., offers $500 reward. Dun can Is known also as Edwards and Winston, and his name among his fra ternity is "Davton Slim." He is an Illinois man, but married nt Chatta nooga. He is 5 ft. 8 1-2 inches hiffh, weighs 168 pounds has fair complex ion, light brown hair, small mous tache, beard lighter than hair, medium blue eyes, chin rather protruding, nose rather long, and slightly turned to th right, and oblique scar, a cut, .n the second joint of the left thumb, and a regular cut on the inside of the rierht thumb above the second joint, a smalt oblique scar above the right eye-brow, and small scrofulus scars on the neck, under the right ear. He is a profes sional burglar and safe cracker and is also a murderer. His victim being a police officer, who was a brother of two locomotive engineers.

NO MEXICAN "BOTTi "WEEVIL. state KntomolOKJst Slwrmnn Does Kot Think it Exint In this State. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, C, September 26. State Entomologist Franklin Sherman writes your correspondent that no report of the presence of the Mexican cotton boll weevil in Union and Mecklenburg coun ties has come to him direct and no spe cimens have been sent. He does not believe this insect is in Xorth Carolina Doubtless some other has caused dam age. He says: "There- is every indication that the Mexican boll weavil will event ually spread throughout the cotton belt, but I do not believe that it will appear in Xorth Carolina for several years. Last year it was stated in the govern ment crop reports that this weavil had dotne damage in the vicinity of Gibson, but by corresponding with the per-son who first originated the report from Gib son, I found it was entirely incorrect. I suspect the same is true in this in stance." IJASE BALL YESTERDAY. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Washington 4, Chicago 7. Philadelphia 5, Cleveland 2. First game: Xew York 8, Detroit 13.

Several Hat cars on the side track and them with terrific force were standing; the train hit hurling i-ix of the cars from the track. Three of the cars which left the track were flat cars loaded with large oil tanks. The lights from the caboose which: was wrecked, caused the oil to catch fire. In a few minutes the whole train was in a mass of Uames. Suddenly the oil tanks exploded and a fiery mass of flame was hurled hundreds of feet into the air. The fields on the north side of the track were burning for some distance. A deep ditch which runs be tween the railway track and the Spoke and Bending Works was all that saved the factory from destruction. The ditch was filled with oil and fire for more than a quarter of a mile from the track. Flagman Edmore was on the rear of the train when the wreck occurred and he said several of the cars which were wrecked passed over his body.. He escaped without any injuries. Xorthbound train Xo. 40 is south of the fire and it will probably be near noon today before the track can be cleared. All of the Western Union telegraph wires are down amd all communication south is cut off. At. 3 o'clock this morning the burn ing cars were pilled high on the track and it looked like it would be several hours before the railroad men could get to the track to begin repairing it. Six cars in all were burned. Several, of them were loaded with baled paper.. It made an exceedingly hot fire and was burning very slow. All of the fire companies from the city and a number of people went to the fire but. were powerless to do any good. All the material for repairing the track was gotten on hand last night and a force of hands are waiting to go to work at the earliest possible mo ment. Greensboro Telegram, September 25th.

This ultimatum means that instead of another strike there will most likely be a lockout on the wharves, as the screwmen say they are determined to load cotton jinder the old rules or jiot lnp it at all. The old rules allow but 120 baes to be stow ed -er day, while the stevedores want at least 225 loaded. It dale Elixir. The new scientific discovery for dis eases of the throat and lungs, acts up on a new principle differing greatly from the old style Cough Medicines, which do little more than stimulate the lining of the throat and lungs. Ryd'es Elixir strikes a, the root of the trouble, it kills the microbes thjf. cause throat ard lung dssases. It removes- the cause and hastens recovery by helping nature restore the diseased organs to health. R. R. Bellamy. Prisoners Ordered to be Released. Cripple Creek, Colo September 2a.
