The town of Meneliea, Minn., daring the early weeks of this summer inaugurated a work test for tramps, who had become a nuisance. The authorities is sued tickets to every family in the town und when a tramp pre sented himself at the door of any house he was handed one of these tickets, w ith instructions to give it to the town marshal. The mar shal would examine the applicant aud if he found him worthy he would send him to a wood dealer, who would ask him to saw a quarter of a cord of wood and tuen give him a ticket for a meal at a restaurant. The scheme proved entirely successful. Tramps t o longer came into tbe town. TLey found that no one would feed them in the old man ner and that the only way in which they cou;d get anything to eat wa oy working. Children, look iu those eyes, listen to trial dear voice, notice the feeling of even a sin gie touch bestowed upon you by that hand! Make much of it. while yet you have that most precious of ail good gifts, a lov ing mother.

In alter life you may have friends; but never will you have again the inexpressible love and gen tleness lavished upon you which none but a mother bestows. Of ten do I sigh in the struggles with the bard, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep security I felt when, of an evening, nest ling in her bosom, I listened to . some quite tale- suitable to my age, read , in her untiring voice. -Never' can. I for get her,; sweet glances , cast upon nae$ when I appeared asleep; never her kiss of peace at night. Many yearsjiave passed away since we laid her beside toy father ia the old churehyardjyet still her voice whispers from the rave, and her eye watches over me, as I visit spots long since halloaed to the memory of cay aear mother .--Lord Macau- i . THE WIFE MURDERER HAS AT LAST B KEN CAPTURED. And is Now Lodged in Jail in This "City -Surrounded Him While in The Barn Loft at his Mother's Home Daily Argus last Friday. After scouring the woods for several days past, and being on the road both night and dayror the greater part of the while. Sheriff Scott has at last captured Nat Moore, the man who cut the throat of his wife Polly Ann Moore in a drunken spree on the night of the first of August. After committing the crime, as everybody knows, Moore made good his escape and has roamed the forests and slept iu the swamps, I me tne wild oeasts, without leaving any trace of his coming and going. Night an I day he has been hunted and hounded without rewarding bis pursuers in the least. He seemed to exercise the cunning of a fox and the agility of a panther iu deceiviug his capturers and dis appearing Irom their view. It, is true he had been seen on sev eral occasions, but each time he disappeared as completely as if the earth had opened and swal lowed him. At last Sheriff Scott became tired of the vain pursuit and asked the governor to offer a re ward for his capture. This was done some days ago, and the forces for his capture had been greatly augmented. , Night be fore last and all the forenoon yesterday Sheriff Scott, Ex Sheriff D. A. Grantham and Mr. (Jharli1 Hurst were close on his heels. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock they surrounded him in the loft of a barn at the home of his mother. . There, where he had spent his boyhood days en joying all the many liberties of the farm life; with nis dear old mother standing by wiping the scalding tears from her eyes vgith feeble hands, and with' the thought in his mind, perhaps, that he was bidding farewell to the scene? that once lent iuspi ratiou to his young . life and around which are clustered all the pleasant memories of his now miserable life there it was that the law pinioned his hands with the rude clasp , of iron bracelets and he was led forth x this city, where he was stared at by an idle crowd as if he were some wild beast from the jun gles of Africa waiting to be placed in a cage. Trembling and pale be crossed the stone por tals of tbe county jail from which he no doubt thinks be will never eminate again a free man. During his restless mid night hours, caged in his iron cell, will any of the phantoms that float before his vision on tbe white washed walls of those silent wards resemble the ugly, gaping wound that he placed in the throat of his wife with that cold blade, of steel, and will tbe deep quietude of his lonely confines ever be broken by that last fearful cry that fell from her lips? His Mother Visits Him at the County JaU in This City Da'ly Argus last Saturday. Since . Nat Moore, ' the wife murderer, ha; been caught and placed in the county jail in this city. Sheriff Scott and his as sistants have been, greatly an noyed by the large number; of applicants that were anxious for admission to the jail to ; get a glimpse of the man about which so much has been said of late. . .People from all parts of the county, that had never been near a jail before have tread its stone corridors to obtain a view of the dejected looking murderer, but the most interested spectator was that of his mother this morning, who had come from her quiet country hom; near Fremont to fetch a basket of del icate viands prepared by herself to tempt her son's appetite. : ; While others looked on w:th a meaningless stare of idle curios ity, her eyes, were riveted on .the pale countenance of her sod and the expression on her wrinkled face told of a heart that, was yearning frith pity. The tragic scene by those two inexper ienced I actors when the final leaye taking was made was; true to nature . and' caused the few idlers that were standing near to incline their ' heads and turn their faces to the wall. , ." i ' .

Aycock And W C. Munroe, The Goidsboro Democratic Campaign Club held its second meeting last night at the Mes senger Opera House. The in formation had been given out that "Wayne county's honored son Hon. Chas. B. Aycock would address the people on the issues of the day and there had assem bled an audience ol several huns dred people to hear him. Every one present was a Democrat of the deepest dye men who had on every occasion yielded blind obedience to the decrees of the party's appointed leaders and who had cast their votes for its candidates without reserve: They bad come now to be instructed in regard to their duties in the coming campaign, and those who had entertained any doubt about tbe position to take in regard to the vital issues that have baen presented, had all such doubts removed' and the lines clearly drawn and the mysteries of the finaucial problem thoroughly un ravelled by the forensic elo quence of two of Goldsboro's leading members of the Bar. Hon. W. C. Munroe, a man learned in the letter of the law and thoroughly in sympathy with tbe masses and familiar with the conditions and circum s ances that surround them, first appeared upon the stage and ad dressed himself to the financial question., His words were lis tened to with rapt attention and were often interrupted by deaf - ening applause. As if arguing some much mooted question of law in the halls of justice, within whose dreary walls it is said that the flowers of rhetoric never bloom, that able jurist ex pounded and analyzed, the inter esting question of finance , with such force and clearness that the wayfaring mau, though a "gold bug," need not err. His speech was only of a few minutes length, but it was full of instruction and was au education to those not familiar with that vexatious problem. After the speech of Mr. Mun roe, Hon Chas. B. Aycock walk ed out in front of the footlights and was greeted with unstinted applause. The citizens of Gtids boro and Wayne county love to honor this, their most ; favored son, and whoa they want reliable information in regard to national or State politics they know from whom they cau get it willingly. His utterances last . night were delivered in the ; same fervid man nor as in previous campaigns and carried conviction and .in spiration tq the minds and hearts of every one present. He showed himself thoroughly familiar, with the subjectof the free and. unlim ited coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of 16 o 1, and the- informa tion along this line that he im parted to his hearers gave . evi dence, of much study and re search. He showered encomiums on the ' leader of the Democratic hosts;' W. J. Bryan, and paid glowing tributes, to Democracy, showing that from its incipiency it bad been the party of the peo ple, at ail times battling; against the usurpation of power by the money kings, and clamoring for the proper recognition oi tbe laboring man, whether farmer or mechanic. His speech was re ceived with wild applause and will no doubt have its effect in the coming campaign. J - Mr. H. B. Parker Jr., made, a few remarks and invited all who had not done so to enroll their names with the. club and several new names were added, GYGIiOJlE GYWflTSOfl KAISES A GREAT bTORM QF DEMOCRATIC ENTHU S1ASM. SPEAKS AT STATESVILLE. Some Fifteen Hundred People from Iredell and the Surrounding Coun tie&Heard the Democratic Can - ' didate- Aug. The 29. Statesville, N.C, ii is cyclone yjy now. ine peo ple of Statesville have said it. The effect of the speech of the great campaigner here to-day suggested it. The terrific force with which he swayed and scattered the oppo sition made it appropriate. The way he turned a shower of Iredell Republicanism into a storm of raging, irrsetible Democracy sus tains it. To-day has been a political red letter dayin Statesville, and the crrnrifl old Pifvlmnnt trwn hsis Wn c bubbling over with politics since early morning . The Republican count v convention met to-day. which brought a large number of Republicans to town. Senator Pritchardhad been invited to ad dress the convention, and that part brought still greater numbers. It was expected that M. L. Mott would be here but he failed to get here, but Moody, of Haywood, and Zigzag Linney were present. This was the shower of Republi cans. ho uemocratic storm be gan early in the morning, when the Democrats of Iredell, Rowan, Alexander and other adjoining countios rolled into town. Cy Watson had been billed to speak at Statesville. The people wanted to hear him. Democrats, Populists and Republicans wanted to hear the campaign successor to the great Vance, and they came 1,500 strong. . They came to listen and they listened. Five hundred of them listenee to Pritchard in the conrt house before dinner, and to short speeches by J -Moody and Linney, but the great mass, a solid acre of people, gathered on the court house green to hear Watson, ritchard had talked tariff for i a i -i neany iwo uours, anu, as a gen tleman remarked, had made a very ingenius and effective speech. if he had been talking to an entirely ignorant ana unobservant crowd. He wound up with a few: back- Laaded licks at his old friend, the silver dollar. On the gold question he . said that he had been elected , to the Senate as a silver man, - by silver- votes: that he had voted for, silver and remained - a silver man until his convention spoke at St . Louis . Now the more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that his party was right and he was wrong. His crowd listened and a few times cheered him but -it took aw ful hard i work, for the erstwhile silver Senator to push the stale old tariff chestnut down the throats of his crowd. These people live in a chestnut country and they know when a chestnut is " old, , stale and wormy,.:-and the v did not relish Pritchard' s. At 2 o'clock Mr . Watson ap peared in a stand erected in .the court house grove. Mighty cheers went skyward through : the can opied, oaks and elms from fifteen hundred throats, some of them still somewhat lacerated from the efforts of Pritchard's to cram the taiiff, down them. Mr. (Watson had heard benator PritchrdV-speech and he lit right in torperfectly annihilate the sena tor and his stale'argumeht. Within thirty minutes the cyclone - had swept both from5 the deck and a clear field had been opened for, an argument of tfye'great, issues of the campaign. ' - Statesyille was anxious to hear Watson. Iredell ' county was anxious to hear him and they heard him. They heard him for two hours and twenty, minutes in what 'MrTJ. L. Scales, Mr. B. F. Long, MrT. J. Allison and others say was the biggest speech to which they have ever, listened.

It solidified the Iredell Democracy, it convinced Did you ever won der what that heavy weJght on one side of a locomotive wheel was there for ? Anyone who under stand s mechanics knows the need of a counter-balance to equalize power and keep the machinery going with a steady even motion. With out it the machinery would wrench itself out of shape. It is the same way with th e machinery of the human -body : it needs to go on steadily and regularly to be in good health not by fits and starts. The sudden wrenching medicines which peo ple sometimes take to overcome consti pation, gire a violent strain to the intes tines which weakens them, so that the costiveness is afterwards worse than ba fore. v What costive people need is a natural laxfative like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets which -are .powerful without being vio lent. They move the bowels gradually and comfortably but surely. You can regulate the dose one, two or three "Pellets" exactly as you need.- They strengthen the intestines to do their own work, so that after their movements have become regular they keep on naturally of themselves. The " Pleasant Pellets " gently stimu late and invigorate the liver to throw off biliousness ; and tone up the stomach to secrete the digestive juices, and over, come dyspepsia. The entire digestive, or alimentary, tract is put in motion in the regular steady way of nature and health. This is what makes the " Pleas, ant Pellets" so immensely superior to the numerous purging pills which wrench and weaken the system. Druggists may fet more profit out of those other pills ut you don't. The ' Pleasant Pellets '' are tiny sugar coated granules 40 or more in'a little one-inch vial tightly corked, hence, al ways fresh and reliable.

The big general of Republicanism was present. but whether he saw it or not his lieutenants could see that there was consternation in their ranks, and the hopes that Pritchard had inspired had ' taktn -'wings and been wafted before the cy clone from Forsyth. After the speech .hearty congratulations were showered upon the speaker. Democrats, "souud mim;y" mtn and silver men, several leading Populists and even Republicans Hocked to his room and with one accord extended earnest congrat ulations and the hearty endorses ment of the speaker . and the speech. Raleigh News & Obser ver. THE MONEY QUESSION. Effect of HI;h Dollar on the Laborer and Mechanic, Let each one read the follow ing from the New York Journal and then examine his own expert ience and say whether or not it is true: Men who work for wages should remember that mone not only buys things, but that it has to be bought. A dollar is bought ly a work ingman with a certain amount of work. If dollars are few and workingmen plenty he will have to pay pretty dear in effort for his coin Perhaps he will not even get a chance to buy it at all either because there are not enough" dollars to go round or because he cannot or will not pay the price. In such evant the fact that tbe dollar he does a' t get is one of great value neither inter ests nor profits him. Does the banker, the money lender, the man whose invest mens bringing in interest outs weigh all his other sources of income suffer from a dear dollar? In no way. He does -not buy dollars with work, with goods, with produce. He lends a dollar, gets back one which, under ex- isting conditions is sum to be more valuable than the one he lent,. and moreover receives in terest in money in high purchas ing power. His apparent inter est lies wholly on tne side of a dollar which is dear today and dearer to-morrow. We say his apparent interest because, in fact, the present system per sisted in will be harmful to the banking classes as to others. The goose that lays the golden egg may be slaughtered. All se curities are founded on the pros ity of the nation, and a policy which compels the distress of the people will compel the de preciation of tne oan o'er s secur ities. , The shopkeepers buys his dollars with goods. Finety- nine out of every hundred of his cus tomers, if he runs a city store, work for wages, and if the dear nesa of the dollar destroys their power of purchasing he will get fewer dollars o pay ..clerks and some must be discharged, fewer dollars with which to buy goods and. factories will be closed. Every class of labor thus suffers oy a dear dollar. - The common people, however, j will, get near the core., of this curreacy ; question it tney re member .that, to get a dollar they must buy it with labor it worK- mgmen, witn w neat, ana conn farmers, with cloth or , china "if One rmerchants. The dollar which will exchange for twice as ranch of these commodities as did the dollar of thirty years ago is a dollar that costs them dear. CONDENSED NEWS.
