Hill & Son Will Refund Monew If It Fails. No other medicine or treatment for catarrh has ever achieved such quick and remarkable success in Goldsboro as Hyomei. The fact that J. H. Hill & Son when they first in troduted Hyomei sold it under a positive guarantee to refund the money in case it did not cure, con triouted largely to its successful in troduction. A guarantee from a firm like J. H. Hill & Son gave people confidence at the start. Those who obtained a Hyomei outfit found that the treatment did all that was claimed for it; that the first few breaths of Hyomei cleared I the air passages and gave an exhil arating and invigorating effect. Its continued use freed the system from all catarrhal germs, soothed and healed the mucous membrane, and made a complete and lasting cure. Compared with the dangerous stomach drugging that had been used heretofore in the treatment of catarih, the balsamic air of Hyomei created a most favorable impression. And the medicine itself did even more than was claimed for it. In fact, to make a success, it was nec cesaary that Hyomei should cure nearly every case of catarrh iu which it was used, for every outfit was sold on a guarantee to refund the money in case it failed. if it had not possessed unusual merit, an offer like this would have resulted in an enormous lois. But curing as it did, Hyomei soon gained an enviable reputation and made many friends who recommend it far and near. Its success herein Golds boro has qeen remarkable, and J. H. Hill & Son are still selling it an their personal guarantee to refund the money in case it does not give satisfaction. If you have kidney trouble, you ran eet auick relief by taking Bonn's Batong.

Boston, Mass., April 21. By an overwhelming vote the Massachu setts Democratic convention at Fre mont Temple, to day instructed four delegates at large and twenty dele gates from the various Congressional districts of the State to support Rich ard Olney of this city, for the presi dential nomination at the national Democratic convention at St. Bonis. Four delegates at large pledged to the support of Olney were elected, and the supporters of William R. Hearst, of New York, as the presi dential nominee were defeated by a vote of about (J 1-1 to 270. A resolu tion offered by Representative John A. Coulthurst, of Boston, endorsing the candidacy of Mr. Hearst, was voted down by a large majority. The following were elected delegates at large: William Gaston, of Boston; Patrick Collins, of Boston; William E.Doug lass, of Brockton, and John Thayer, of Worcester. The platform adopted consisted of a single plank, which says: "We present to the Democrats of the United States the name of Rich ard Olney as one conspicuously qual ified for the ofiica of President. We present him as a citizen not only of Massachusetts alone, but of the United States, thoroughly acquaint ed with the needs of our country. Just and impartial towards all its needs; one who has respect for the law in letter and spirit, whose cour age in maintaining our rights, na tional and international, at home and abroad, has been put to the test and demonstrated in high public of fice; one who vigorously enforced the traditional policies of our country by protecting a weak sister republic in South America from the encroach ments of a strong European power; one in whom the spirit of justice and of scrupulous regard for the rights of the people, singly and collectively is inborn. "We hereby instruct the delegates and alternates chosen to attend the national convention at St. Louis by this convention and by the Congres sional district conventions to place in nomination the name of Richard Olney as the choice of Massachussets for the Democratic nomination for President, and we further instruct said delegates and alternates to cast the vote of Massachusetts as a unit for him in the convention until the nomination shall be made or his name shall be withdrawn by au thority." SNOW AT ASHEVILLE. Asheville, N. C, April 20. Snow has been falling here almost the en tire day and the ground to-night is covered to a depth of one or two inches. Owing to the snow storm the second day's program of the horse show was not carried out. DIAMOND PHOALS. Bill Passes House of Representatives to Establish a Eight There. Wathington, April 25. The House to-day passed a large number of bills including the Alaska Delegate bill. The bill to authorize the construc tion of a lighthouse and fog signal station at Diamond Shoal, N. C, occasioned a lengthy debate, it final ly being passed without division, af ter speeches in its favor had been made by Messrs. Kluttz, Thomas and Small, of North Carolina, n on it FLEEINf; NORTH ACROSS THE YALU RIVER In Overcrowded Boats ana Are Ros ing Hundreds By Drowning. Port Arthur Effectually Blocked. London, April 21. -A correspon dent of the Times, cabling from New Chang, says that a me-sener has arrived there from the Yalu river with the inforn.ation that the Rus sians are fleeing north across the river in overcrowded boats and are losing hundreds by drowning. London, April 22. The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that Port Arthur is undoubtedly effectually blocked and that events are culminating around the; doomed fortress. St. Petersburg, April 21. The Admiralty, it is announced, intends to tit out two ships purchased from Germany, together with a number of ships of the volunteer fleet, with rapid fire guns, and to send them to the Pacific to prey upon Japanese commerce. The Admiralty believes that by this means it can prevent the resumption of operations by the Japanese commercial fleet and strike a hard blow against Japanese hope of maintaining her resources ioi the prosecution of the war. It is au thoritatively stated that Russia has been offered, through a well known New Y'ork firm, a 7,000 ton, and two three thousand ton cruisers belong ing to a South American republic, but has declined the offer. All information in possession of the general staff indicates that the Japanese are preparing to make a landing near Takushan. The lights of Japanese ships have been observed for several nights, and it is believed that the debarkation of the troops has been delayed only by the bad weather, which has prevented the assembling of the junks and other small craft on which the troops must be carried across the stretch of shal low water which extends several miles from the shore. It is believed that the Japanase will experience great difficulty in debarking if their landing is resisted. SIXTEEN COUNTIES. That's the Number Now Agreeing to Pay Tuition of Teachers at Summer School. Raleigh News-Observer. Mr. C. J. Parker, secretary and business manager of the A. & M. Summer school, writes as follows: "Thinking, perhaps, it might be of interest to the public and incen tive to others to publish the list of counties which have agreed to pay the tuition of their teachers at the Summer school, I will give you the list herewith to be used, if you think it worth while: Alamance, Rock ingham, Halifax, Chowan, Perqui mans, Robeson, Durham, Warren, Pitt, Harnett, Wake, Franklin, Vance, Bertie, Wayne and Johnston. "Others have the matter under consideration and I presume will take similar action. Rockingham and Vance will pay traveling ex pPnooq of their teachers, in addition to lee tuition eh uges. The town of Rcidsviiie will do the suue thine. e think these' counties deserve) special mention, bec ause of the spirit of progress they have manifested in I this matter. It is something new in this State, but will undoubtedly prove the best investment these counties could make for the general improve ment of educational conditions in their respective counties."

Mr. Blackburn Said, "Hello, Jim!" and Received a Terrific Jab In the Face For An Answer. Statesville, N. C, April 2o Be cause the Hon. E. Spencer Black burn spoke to Jim Mott,son of Dr. J. J. Mott, the Jatter dealt him a ter rific blow on the jaw on the public street here this evening. Mr. Blackburn was speaking to some friends and in passing Mr. Mott he addressed him, saying, "Hello, Jim," and Jim replied with a heavy right-hander. The attitude of Mr. Mott towards Mr. Blackburn, as Mr. Mott suited, is due to the threats he had made against his father, who led Mr. Linney's light in the Wilkesboro convention. The affray between Mr. Mott and 31 r. Blackburn created asen-ation on the streets, and but for the police inter fering a general encounter would have resulted between Mr. Mott's and Mr. Blackburn's friends. CARNEGIE'S LATEST BENE FACTION. There is much that is admirable in Andrew Carnegie's latest move in his philanthropic programme. The founding of a $5,000,000 fund lor-the benefit of "the dependents of those losing their lives in heroic efforts to save their fellow-men, or for the he roes themselves, if injured only," will serve a noble purpose in alleviat ing the possible distress of many peo ple who deserve more than they re ceive from a not too grateful world. It is doubtful, however, if as much can be said for the effect of the fund in putting a pecuniary premium up on heroism. The sublimity of hero ism is its disinterestedness, and the greatest hero is the man who does an act of notable bravery without hope of reward or care for the world's ap plause. Still, Mr. Carnegie's "hero fund" is a comforting assurance to men of heroic mettle that they will be under written against the forgetful ness and ingratitude of the world in the event that their heroism leads to physical disability or the leaving of widows and orphans behind them. Under Mr. Carnegie's plan there will be a certain income of $250,000 per annum to be devoted to the help of heroic souls and their dependents in the United States and Canada. A GOOD SUGGESTION. Raleigh Post. The Argus is disappointed at the result, in Goldsboro city and town ship, of the election held on Tuesday to subscribe to the stock of a railroad from that city to Seven Springs, the proposition to issue bonds being de feated, and appeals to the business men to take hold of what is evident ly a good ihing. If The Post may venture a suggestion it would be j that an electric-trolley-road cou'd be ; built much more cheaply than a j steam road, and would prove far more popular an i.we believe, profit-1 able. The scheme is certainly an inviting one, and merits the support given it, and if the corporation or ganized in its interest will turn its attention to a trolley it will no doubt j succeed. This is how others, conversant with the adjuncts to a city's develop ment and progress, look at it, and consider Goldsboro's opportunity and duty in the premises. Ed. Augus. II Mil liiH V ORES DEATH AND TERRI BLE DESTRUCTION. Fifteen Are Dead and Many In jured Thousands of Acres of Farm Land Under Water Houses Wrecked. St. Louis, April 25. Fifteen (had and scores of injured mark the path of a tornado which swept through Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kaiwis and Indian Territory yesterday and to-day. The greatest loss of life thus far reported was m Indian Territory, the dead in two places there number ing thirteen, with sixteen others seri ously injured. Arkansas added llu other two to the death roll. Torrential rain followed the tor nado, and as a consequence many rivers are near the danger mark and scores of small streams have over flowed their banks. Nebraska and Iowa were on tiie edge of the; de vastating storm and Hood conditions now prevail in many sections of those States. In a number of cases houses have been swept away by the rushing waters, their occupants hav ing narrow escape--. Thousands of acres of farm land, especially in the bottoms, are under water, and much damage has been done to wheat and other gl owing crops. Seven persons met instant death and ten others were seriously in jured in the tornado at Fairland, In dian Ty., and half a dozen business blocks were leveled to the ground. Four miles south of Fairland the country was swpt clean of farm houses and barns, but it has been impossible to obtain definite infor mation as to the fate of the residents of that section. Near Pry or Creek six persons were killed. WHAT THE COUPON GIVES. Month's Treatment of Mi-o-na, the Flesh Forming Food, at J. II. Hill & Son's.

Will Prosecute the War With All the Resources of the Empire Un til Vietory is Won, Then I eal With Japan Direct. St. Petersburg, April 2;. Tho Associated Pre.-s is enabled to an nounce authoritatively that the talk of mediation in the Russo-Japanese? war was founded upon the personal desires of King Edward and King Christian, of Denmark, to avoid fur ther bIoi.d-.lud and end the conflict, but that the steps instituted havu utterly failed. The Emperor, with the full concurrence of the imperial family, and his advisors, has firmly decided not only to reject all pro posals looking to intervention, but to prosecute the; war with all the re sources of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms, and then when the time comes for peace to make terms directly with the enemy. The interference of outside powers will not be tolerated. There is to bo no repetition of the Berlin Congress Furthermore, the Associated Press is authorized to state that Russia will in no wise consider herself bound by the propositions made to Japan prior to the war. The hostil ities have wiped out the engagements Russia offered to make with Japan regarding Korea and Manchuria. Russia will consider herself free to impose such terms as she desires. It is known that after the disaster to the Petropavlovsk the King of Denmark wrote the Emperor a let ter of sympathy in which he ex- pressed the hope that a way should be found to avoid further bloodshed It is apparent to every keen ob server here that Russian people aro not in a temper to consider peace.
