Landid killed His Wife Emma and Then Took His Own Life He was a Widely Known Expert! in the Chemistry Line. j (By Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Jan. 15. Rendered in sane by illness. Edward K. Landis. a -widely known expert chemist to-day shot and killed his wife, Emma, and then ended his own life with the same weapon. The tragedy was enacted in the Landis residence. 4025 Spruce street, west Philadelphia. Mr. Landis had been a sufferer from asi.lima for many years. Two months ago he was compelled to give up his laboratory work and had been confined to his bed for the past two weeks. To day Mrs. Landis with her sister, Mrs. H. W. Potts, and Mrs. Patton. a dress maker, were in the room adjoining the apartment occupied by Mr. Landis. The sick man called to his wife, complaining: that, thf ringing of the door bell d.:aJJi ..l:a. tao entered his room and had barely stepped through the doer way when Mr. Lan dis raised himself and, reaching under the pillow, drew forth a revolver. He fired upon his wife, the bullet taking effect in her breast. She screamed and fled to the adjoining room, her hus band following. Mrs. Potts and Mrs. Patton attempted to disarm the fren zied man. but he brushed them aside. Grasping Mrs. Landis by the hair he pulled her forcibly backward and shot her through the temple. The woman died instantly. Mr. Landis hastened back to his own room, where he shot himself in the head, ending his own life. Mr. Landis was 53 years old and his wife was about 45 years old. He was a prominent member of the Engineers' Club of this city. He was graduated from the Univer sity of Pennsylvania and had traveled extensively and had studied in many European universities. Fifteen years ago he opened a laboratory here, which was visited by chemists from all parts of this country and Europe, who sought the advice of Mr. Landis. A STATE REFORMATORY. Charlotte Man Interests Himself and Has Offers of Sites. There has been considerable discus sion throughout this State recently of tlie need of a State Reformatory for youthful criminals and the King's , Daughters have taken the matter up. A Charlotte citizen, Mr. J. C. Herring, lias interested himself in the matter. While on a recent trip in the eastern part of the State he secured offers of thre large tracts of land east of Ral eigh for building sites and furnishing the necessary grounds. Mr. Herring says that he proposes to do all that he can to work up interest in the movement and further that he will not let his plans conflict with any similar movement. :A North Carolina State Reformatory Association is the object which those interested have in view and it is more than likely that the movement will prove a success. It has been suggested that a site be se cured and money secured from pri vate subscription to start ,the buildings and later to call upon the State for an appropriation. The movement is a most worthy one and such an institution would prove of great value to the State. News From Southern Pines. (Correspondence the News.) Southern Pines, Jan. 15.

Powerfully Manifested. In another column we publish a statement from Chairman J. W. Bailey, of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League. The work he plans for the Leagued uring the year 1904 is im portant and needed. However, Cleve land county already has all the legisla tion he advocates, viz: the anti-jug law, the law making public drunken ness a misdemeanor and a stringent probibUiou measure, supplementary to the Watts law. The only thing we need is a continued strict enforcement of the law, the good effects of which are already powerfully manifest Cleveland Star. Bears the j i Signature THC CFTJR COMPANY. NEW YORK CITY. MOUITM (Correspondence the News.) King's Mountain, Jan. 15. Farmers complain that in some fields wheat h is not come up yet; and some do not be lieve now that it will grow. A number of our York county friends just over the mountain closed out their cotton here yesterday at 13 cents. There are still about 200 bales down there, holding for 14 cents. We are reliably informed that J. H. McLaughen, agent of the Southern Railway at this place, has resigned his position and will devote his entire time to Lis newspaper, The Herald. We fur ther learn that his position as agent wil be supplied by a man by the name of Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell is a west ern man and a stranger here. Conductor Ormand, who was right much shaken up in the wreck near Blacksburg recently, is recovering and will soon be himself again. It will be recalled that Mr. Ormand jumped and his injuries came from the tumble lie sustained. Sheriff Suttle was through this sec tion of the county Thursday and yes terday looking after the unpaid taxes. He has not yet announced whether he will be in the race for re-election or not. He is an excellent officer. Miss Ferrie Long, daughter of P. R. Long, has been engaged as an ad ditional .teacher in our High School since the holidays. This would indi cate that the new. child labor law in the cotton mills has increased the at tendance at school. It is gratifying io know that such is true. Mr. C. R. Falls and wife left here Thursday for Alabama. Mr. Falls moved back from that State to our town last summer, but has decided that he can do better there than here. Miss Ella Torrence is teaching at the new school house built for the Lula and Cora Cotton Mills, at this place. Mr. Grier Falls has taken charge of Dr. Hunter's stock farm out on the mountain near here. They will turn their attention to poultry, hogs and goats. We are informed that they will put in 500 goats at an early day. The change of one of our county papers. The Cleveland Star, to the hands of a joint stock company, was a surprise to many of our citizens. The company is a strong one and the man agement will be in able and capable hands, and we see nothing in the way of increased success. R. S. Plonk, of our town, is vice president cf the company. Dr. Gaffney Logan and S. S. Hall man, both of whom have been on a visit to relatives and friends here, have returned to their homes in the West. They left here over 30 years ago and this is their first return. The many friends of W. L. Or man, who lives near Bessemer, will be de lighted at the fine display of his fowls at the poultry show in Charlotte tl is week. We find that there is a tendency in this county to consolidate the public schools where it can be done "without great inconvenience to the patrons. There will be opposition to this, but, cautiously, it is the best thing to do for the school system. It is rumored on our streets today that the party who some weeks ago stole a bale of cotton from Jash Rob erts has been detected. It is to be hoped that the rumor is true and that such a thief will be appropriately pun ished. Billy, our drayman, has decided to increase his usefulness to our citizens by placing on our streets another horse and wagon. He is a one-arm ad man, a hustler and deserves succe. It is stated as a fact that King's Mountain is to have a cotton seed oil mill by another season. No particu lars yet. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrh Wherever Located. There are some things which are as sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur to at least one-half of the human family unless means are taken to prevent. First, the climate of winter is sure to bring colds. Second, colds not promptly cured are Bure to cause catarrh. Third, catarrh improperly treated is sure to make life short and miserable. Catarrh spares no organ or function of the body. It is capable of destroying eight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion, secretion, assimilation and excretion. It pervades every part of the human body, head, throat, stomach, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and oilier pelvic organs. That Peruna cures catarrh wherever located is attested by the following tes timonials sent entirely unsolicited to Dr. llartman by grateful men and wo men who have been cured by Peruna: Systemic Catarrh. Mrs. M. K. Bonsch, Richmond, Va., writes: "I had catarrh all through my system for two years and qonld get no relief. I was advisad to try Peruna and I have taken five bottles of it and am Well and better now than I have been for years. I can advise any one who has catarrh of any part of the body to take Peruna. My little girl who is eleven years old had catarrh, but was cured by Peruna. Before I began to take Peruna I was sick all the time, but now I am entirely cured, and all praise is due Peruna." Mrs. M. K. Bousch. Catarrh of the Xose. Mr. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes : " I am entirely cured of my catarrh, of the nose by your Peruna. My case was a severe one." Herman Ehlke. Catarrh, of the Throat. B. IT. Ttunyan, Salesvllle, O., writes : " I suffered with catarrh of the throat for five years. I was induced to try I'eruna.
