Bradbury, at Gallipolis, who is twenty-four years old. Hongkong (China) professional rat catchers have formed a union and have struck for higher wages. Washington, Jan. 5. The Presi dent took another step to-day in forcing his "southern policy" on the people of the South.. The nomina tion of Dr. W. D.

Delayed Northern Pacific and Great Northern trains from the east, have arrived j from Portland with hundreds of pas sengers forSeattie and other northern points.Owing to the abandonment of the Northern Pacific and Inter-Urban trains between Tacoma and Seattle, these passengers are flocking to the boats. More than a thousand people tried to board the steamer Flyer to day, nearly causing a panic. Troy, N. C, Jan. 5. Last night about 6 o'clock, Walter B rower was shot and almost instantly killed by his brother, Bud Brower, a few miles west of Troy. Walter married a few days ago contrary to the wish of his brother and they had not been on friendly terms since. Bud says that they met last night, and after having some words Walter came at him with his knife when he shot him. There was only one eye witness, and he has not been seen. Bud surrendered to the authorities and was placed in jai!. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 5. The flood situation in the district south of Seat tle does not seem to be greatly im proved to-day. The first 'casualties as a result of the rising of the waters are reported from -O'Brien in the Northern Pacific, between Seattle and Tacoma. There the water i3 six or eight feet high and last night it was rushing past the houses with the swiftness of a mountain current. Martin Cummings and F.

The first notice of with drawal came from the west, and this was in the form of a card, issued by Mr. W. C. Newland, of Caldwell.

Arrived in Town on Midnight Train and Is Waylaid While in Search of Hotel, and His Injuries Prove Fatal. Special to Raleigh News-Observer. Wilson, N. C.,Dec. 31. Dr. I. W. Sutton, of Arkansas, who wTas mur derously assaulted and robbed on the streets of Wilson, at an early hour Tuesday of last week, died near Goldsboro last Friday night from the result of his injuries. The deceased arrived in this city on Monday night of last week on a belated train, which arrived here at about 12:30. The deceased, according to his statement, made shortly before his death, stated that when he arrived in Wilson he at once started in search of hotel accommodations, first stop ping at the Belmont. Being unable to secure lodging here he went to the Pennington House, but again found a crowded house, he then started up the street hi search of another place, but had only gone a short distance when he wras knocked down. He remained in an unconscious condition until day-break Tuesday morning, when fie was found by an officer. His satchel was found in a ditch near the railroad track. His nephew, Mi. O. W. Sutton, on learning of what had happened to his uncle, came to this city at, once and did all ia his power for the suf fering man, but to no avail. The re mains have been forwarded to his home, near Little Rock, Arkansas, for interment. 3 As yet there is no clue as to the identity or whereabouts of the per petrators of this most horrible and dastardly crime, they having very successfully eluded the watchful eyes of the officers of the law. EVERY CLAIM PAID. The Excellent Financial Condition of the Ilnights of Honor. Knights of Honor Reporter. For the first time in its history the Knights of Honor is able to show this month that every claim pub lished has been paid. In a letter received from the Su preme Reporter, under date of Dec. 15, he says: "I have drawn warrants for everything in the office at this writing and it lacks about $16,000 of being enough to take up Assessment No. 76, which was paid by members during the month of November. In other words, when the Reporter cornea out on the first of January the financial statement will show that every iairn published has been paid." Organized June 30, 1873, twenty nine and a half years of successful business. Over seventy-eight mil lions of dollars paid to beneficiaries of deceased members, and every claim paid.

Arrangements Have Been Made For the Quick Mobilization of Deputies Should the Oc casion Demand. Indianola, Miss., Jan. 5. While conservative citizens anticipate no serious trouble over the closing of the post office here, city and county officials continue to exercise great vigilance. Arrangements have been made for the quick mobilization of deputies should the occasion de mand. The night passed without special incident. To-day a private office was estab lished for the distribution of mail collected by an Independent mes senger service from Heathman and Greenville. The independent office here will be maintained at the ex pense of citizens. Indianola, Jan. 5. Minnie Cox, who wras postmaster here, accom panied by her mulatto assistant, left to-night for Birmingham. She de nied that violence had been threat ened, but affirmed that she would not accept the post again under any circumstances. Her husband, Wayne Cox, a railway postal clerk, gave out a statement this afternoon in which he says that the people here are his friends and have offered neither him nor his wife any indignities. "Two prominent citizens came to me and advised that my wife re sign," he said, "and I understand the race problem, and thought it best Tor her to give up the office. She has acted accordinly. We do not feel offended and hope it will be convenient for us to continue to live here ia peace." EVENTS OF THE OLD YEAR. The old year was a prosperity year. Every leading fact in the commercial world testifies to this, and al! the commercial agencies and journals join in the chorus. It was also a wrar-ending year, and these two features are enough to make all say it was a good year as years go. Its incidents were not numerous or exceptionally important. A new Congress was elected, the Republi cans maintaining their ascendancy in both houses. To some extent the cabinet was reconstructed, Mr. Shaw becoming the secretary of the treas ury, Mr. Payne postmaster genera, and Mr. Moody secretary of the navy. In other countries King Ed ward was crowned, King Alphonso of Spain came to the throne, and both France and England secured new premiers, without any change in party leiations. The dead of the old year include Cecil Rhodes, who left a great edu cational bequest to the Teutonic wTorld: Zola, the novelist; Krupp,the cannon maker, and Thomas B.Reed, who was great even on the political retired list. The year will be recalled because, first, of the completion of the great Assouan dam in Egypt, but chiefly because of the success of Sig. Mar coni in sending messages through the air across the Atlantic. This peer less achievement really saves the prosperous old year from falling in to the list of the commonplace and humdrum years. Marconi is easily, in other words, the hero of the dead year, and he may render the present year still more memorable. $100 -Dr. E.

Twenty-Seven Half-Acre Lots to Be Offered For Sale in This Thriv ing Town, on Thursday, Jan. 15, 1903. If you will ask men who have ac cumulated wealth what is the best investment, most of them will say, "a judicious investment in real estate." When one comes to think of it, there are the best of reasons why this is true. One of the chief characteristics of Americans is that they are a home loving people they earnestly desire to own their own homes. This de sire, coupled with the constant in crease of population, cause lands to increase in value year by year. In times of financial depression lands decline in value, but just as soon as the financial skies clear the prices of land go up again. Look back over the period of the past twenty years and see for your self if this is not true. Now there is to be a sale of lots, next month, at Fremont, Wayne countv . Twenty-seven half-acre lots, situ ated in the eastern portion of the town, will be offered at public auc tion, to the highest bidder. Sale will take place on January 15th, 1903, at 1 o'clock, sharp. Terms of sale one-half cash: balance on easy deferred payments. Fremont is situated in one of the finest farming sections of North Carolina, and the town has grown rapidly within the last few years. The town has a number of merch ants who do a largo business, a pros perous bank, a large oil mill, a fine school, and several churches. These advantages make Fremont a good location for both residence and business ventures. Investigate the advantages, and it is quite likely that you will invest some money in Fremont at the com ing sale of lots. Any information desired relative to the property to be offeered, will be gladly furnished by Mr. Z. D. Mumford, Fremont, N. C. NORTHERN PACIFIC. A Number of Landslides Reported From Various Points Along the Line.TrafHc Blocked. Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 3. Shortly before midnight slides were reported from various points along the main line of the Northern Pacific and since that time slides have been oc curring at intervals to noon to-day. The wires were down and railroad officials were unable to get informa tion except from near by points. As near as can be learned none of the slides were serious and it is thought the track will be cleared within twenty-four hours. The worst slides are reported from points east of Tacoma, but there is also trouble between Tacoma and Portland and the track is blocked on all the branches. Trouble had oc curred on the Great Northern earlier in the day and that road was send ing its passenger trains over the Northern Pacific. ft Or discomfort, no irritation of the in testinesbut gentle, prompt, thorough healthful cleanaing, when you tafce Sold by all druggists. 25 eenta WANTED THREE YOUNG MEN frnm ftnldflboro and vicinity at ooee to prepare for positions in the Government.

Max O'Rell in Richmond Times. Paris, Jan. 3. The green old age of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria has long caused the admiration of the world. For a few weeks, however, the state of his health has given anxiety, if not alarm, to his family and hi3 subjects. The news got abroad on the very anniversary (the fifty-fourth) of his accession to tne throne. All the sympathies and best wishes of the world will go to that dean of monarchs, a monarch whose life has been so sorely tried by unfortunate wars against France and Germany, and by bereavements such as the cruel death of his brother Maximil ian, the murder of a beautiful wife whom he adored, and the mysterious death of his son and heir, Rudolph, a death which shook his throne and still makes the Austrians feel dazed at the idea of what may and prob ably will happen when their Em peror dies. As long as two nations of about the same strength are on the point of coming to blows, and that each says of the other, "I wonder if I am not going to receive a good lieking," there will be a chance for arbitra tion, for each party will be glad to avoid war and its consequences; but so long as the world allows a power ful nation to swailow a small one without hardly a protest, there will be no question of arbitration. We saw the proof of it when hos tilities began between Boers and Britons; we see now another in the case of Venezuela. The government of that country had hardly succeeded in putting down a widespread revolution than England and Germany claimed im mediate payment for compensating the English and Germans who had suffered losses during the hostilities. President Castro was not even given time to have a look at his banking acccunt and ascertain whether he was able to meet the claims at such short notice. I have no' doubt that, either in Cuba or the Philippines, there must be some English and German sub jects who have suffered; but I guar antee that, if they have claims to send to Washington, they will take their time, and then do so most politely. For that matter, I am not even aware that such claims have been lodged. In Venezuela they have seized the fleet. The Germans have sunk the vessels which "they have captured; the English, more intelligent and practical, have kept for their own use those which fell into their hands. Oh, the injustice of it all ! And to think that for a little nation thus in sulted, thus trampled under foot, there is no redress, nothing to do except to submit to the inevitable or fight and die. Of course, there is one consolation for the poor Venezuelans; they need not fear being annexed, as their powerful neighbor, Brother Jonathan, would soon show his teeth to either conquerer. They talk of arbitration again. Why . should there be arbitration? When the stronger can arbitrate and award to himself all he wants? After twenty centuries of Chris tianity the reign of justice is as far from us as it was in the darkest ages. There is room for the rich only; there is justice for the strong only. The world is still ruled by bully ing, and nations are still praised and upheld for doing things which in dividuals would pay for on the scaf fold or with penal servitude for life. The morality of nations should be the same as that of individuals. The Esquimaux fire fast disappear ing from the face of tfie globe. Some twenty years ago their number was estimated at 30,000. Now it is re duced to hardly half that. At that rate the Esquimaux will have ceased to exist before half the present century is over. The principal cause of it is misery, a struggle for life now become im possible by the extermination of the animals on which they lived. The whale, which were to them their principal resource, are practically' gone from the Arctic zees;. Another thing; the remaining few are being absorbed by the adven turers who have invaded their ter ritories.

The keen observers of the business outlook sec no ?;iis of hard times. James R. Keene predicts that the prosperity of 13 vill he equal to that of any of the three preceding years. He bases Ids predictions on the crops of the season, especially on the corn crop, which is low being moved in ias,o volume, and on the market lor lnanufa ?rlured products. Russell Sage is equally confident. "Business," he .says, "is good every where, m.tnui-iu irers yro making money, the "ai mer has had a pros perous season un! can market his products at increased prices, the manufacturer is q.-di!i a ready mar ket for hi 5 go!:- j.url the railroads nre showing csJnnt in creases in their earnings.
