CAPT. J. W. LAMB DEAD. A Popular Citizen Passed Away Wed nesday Night. The death of Capt. Junius Washing ton Lamb occurred at his home in this city Wednesday evening about 7:30 o'clock, having been confined to his bed only since Monday, although he had been in feeble health for many months, and his death, therefore, was not a surprise to his family, as his physicians had forewarned them that the end was liable to come at any moment." - Capt. Lamb was born on the farm in Duplin jcounty on February 27, 1850, and was therefore in the 57th year of his age. He moved to this city from Wilmington some 25 years ago and engaged in the livery and stock busi ness, in which he had been almost con tinuously engaged ever since until a few years ago, when he sold out to Mr. Jno. M. Grantham, and engaged in the harness business. Recently he became a partner in theFonveille-LiambGrocery Company, to which lie gave his atten tion until he took his bed 'Monday. Capt. Lamb had an army of friends with whom he was very popular, and for years he has been a member of the Board of City Aldermen. He is survived by his devoted wife, who was Miss Ella Jones, of Wilming ton, two daughters Misses Annie and Fannie Jones Lamb, one sister, Mrs. T. J. Southerland, and three brothers, Messrs. John, Henry and Roscoe Lamb, a wide cirele of relatives and many friends. The remains will be taken to Wil mington on the early train in the morn ing for interment in the lamily plot in the cemetery of that city beside the remains of his young son, the late lamented Richard, and in consequence the funeral service will be held at the home here, on John street, this even ing at 9 o'clock, conducted by Revs. F. W. Farries, of the Presbyterian church and E. H. Davis, of St. Paul M. E. church. In addition to the family and other relatives and friends from this city, the remains will be accompanied to Wil mington by the following pall bearers, representing the several fraternal or ganizations of this city of which he was a member: Messrs. W. T. Dortch, W. T. Yelverton, E. A. Stevens, J.H. Hill, Jr., J. L. BarhamTJ. M. Grantham, A. ' W. Falkener and Dock Smith. The friends of the family are invited to the funeral services at the home this ' evening, and in their sad bereavement they have the sincere sympathy of all : our people. THAW IS SANE. c New York, Aril 4 Harry K. Thaw : today was declared sane by the unani- mous report of the commission in lunacy, appointed to Inquire into bis ; present mental condition. The mo ment the decision was handed down from Justice Fitzgerald's desk, District Attorney Jerome was on his feet vigor ously protesting- against its confirma tion by the court. : ; :' The district attorney and the counsel for the defense will be heard in argu ment as to the confirmation of the re port at Monday's session of the court, if they desire. , - PARKER'S CHARGES TRUE Senator Overman of North Carolina on Harriman-Rooseveit Contro versy. Washington April 5. Senator Overman, who is in Wash ington assisting in the Brownsville in vestingation, in talking about this to day said: "The letters of Mr. Harriman and those of President Roosevelt published the last few days are evidence enough to show that there was . collusion be tween the President and Mr. Harriman in the 1904 campaign, and that the President, contrary to his vigorous denial, charging that Judge Parker had told falsehoods and so forth.was practi cally soliciting funds from the corpora tions represented by these Wall street financiers. But I do not see that this will have any effect upon the bills to publish all the financial transactions of the campaign committees, or the bills to prohibit the contributions of corpora tions. Everybody has known all along that Judge Parker's charges were true. The whole country knew last year just what these letters just published repeal, that the corporations financed Roose velt's campaign, and the country knows that these corporations do not make contributions for nothing. They ex pected something from the administra tion in return. Why when the Tillman re solution for a investigation came up before the elections committee of the Senate the Republicans admitted it. What's the use of investigating a thing which everybody knows about?' some one said. And that is the way they all felt, or at least said so. Nobody ex cept the President, has seriously denied that the corporations contributed this money, and, of course, nobody ex cept a fool would say they contributed it without a consideration." STATE'S PRISON DIRECTORS. Turn Over $175,000 of Money Earn ed to the State Treasury. Raleigh News & Nbserver. The Board of Directors of the State's Prison were in Session here yesterday, the special business of importance transacted being the transfer of $175, 000 of the funds now hefd by the State Prison to the general State fund, an act requiring the transfer of this amount, having been passed by the last Legis lature. , 'J In attendance at the meeting were; Mr. J. ; G. Hackett, . of Wilkesboro, chairman; Mr. W. E. Crossiand, or Richmond county; Mr. S. II. Heame, of Stanly county; Mr. J. P. Kerr of Asheville, and Dr. R. H. Speight, of Edgecombe county. , . 1 ,,. i The only objection tothe lunacy com mission is that we may not be able to hear Mr. Delmaa on the late lamented Mr. White. , : ' ""'.'' Only bachelors are i to be eligibleas members of the state constabulary of Pennsylvania. This has been variously interpreted, but of course the truth is that the p'oor old bachelors will have less reluctance in facing death. - NEW POWER SOURCE. Important and Far Reaching Discov ery by Prof. J. A. Holmes, Form erly of North Carolina Inves tigate Fuel Supply. The many North Carolina friends of Prof. J. A. Holmes, formerly State Geologist at Raleigh, will be interested in a leading news story from Washing ton, D. C, printed on the first page of last Sunday's New York American, announcing the important discovery by Prof. Holmes of a solution of the fuel problem in the United States in connection with the gas developing steam engine. After months of thor ough investigation, pursuing his ex periments abroad, where he was five times decorated by Eastern potentates for his great scientific learning, Prof. Holmes in convinced that this engine is capable of producing three and one halt times as much power from a given weight qf coal as can be secured under an ordinary boiler. The fuel tests were made at the St. Louis home of Prof. Holmes to determine the fuel values of different coals and also to demonstrate the comparative economics of various methods of applying coal to the pro duction of power. The demonstration of the possibili ties of lignite, giving it a new and striking interest by Prof. Holmes, has led the government to send a party of thirteen geologists to accurately sur vey and study the coal deposits of the Rock Mountain region in North Dako ta, the eastern third of Montana and a great area of Wyoming and northwest ern South Dakota, a practically un expired area. Professor Holmes has demonstrated that, properly used, a ton of lignite will produce two and one- half times as much power as a ton of the best steaming coal under an ordi nary boiler. The gas producer is simply a double engine, -which combines the steam en gine and the gas motor. The fuel is us ed in the ordinary way to provide steam; but the production of combus tion is afterward drawn off as gas, and used in a gas motor, where explosion produces a great deal more power than in the first phase. The apparatus is pro nounced entirely practical and suc cessful commercially. Poet Laureate's 70th Birthday. London, April 5: Algernon Charles Swinburne, England's poet laureate, was seventy years old today. Though he has been writing for .upwards of forty years his poetic gifts were not generally recognized until a much later date. His first literary efforts, in fact, fell very fiat. His radical opinions militated for a long time against his success in the higher circles of society, but his undeniable genius finally won over all obstables. For a quarter of a century the poet has lived quietly at The Pines, on the edge of Wimbledon Common, where his slight figure has long been familiar to those who dwell in the neighborhood. Zealous admirers of Mr. Swinburne's poetry are to be seen daily wandering about the common in the hope of getting a glimpse of the writer-who by general consent is the chief living representative of English poetry. ft And now we have a hymn book trust. There is nothing that the trust plan cannot be made to cover. The disease germ is no respecter of persons. It assails the millionaire and the tramp alike and is truly demoeratic in the distribution of favors. For the Children To succeed these days you must have plenty of grit, cour age, strength.

Facts of General Interest About Pub lic Men of The Day. Union Press Association to the Argus. The action of Gen. Granville M. Dodge in leaving New York and re turning to his old home in Iowa has led to a rumor that he may be a candi date to succeed William B. Allison in the United States Senate. At straw vote taken among the Re publicans of the Massachusetts legisla ture on their choice for ta , presidential nomination resulted as follows: Roose-velt,-128; Crane, 35; Taft, 11; Root, 7; Fairbanks, one. Hughes and Guild, each Three Demoeratic candidates for gov ernor of the new State of Oklahoma are now in the race: C. N. Haskell, of Muscogee; Lee Cruce, of Ardmore, and J. A. Kelso, of Enid. Either Haskell or Cruce is expected to secure the nomination at the approaching pri mary. United States Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota, is to be a candidate for re-election next year and he will be opposed by Governor Coe I. Crawford, leader of the insurgents. Governor Crawford has not yet announced his candidacy', but he is expected to do eo at an early date. It is said that William Allen White, the Emporia editor, is forming the newspapers of Kansas into a syndicate o fight the corporations, and that al ready about one hundred of them have formally agreed to conduct their reform campaign on lines laid down by Mr. White. The Republican leaders in New York city declare that if Hearst's Indepen dence League puts a full ticket in the field this fall it will help the Republi can candidates. The election in No vember will be for one Justice of the Supreme Court, a Sheriff, members of the assembly and members of the Board of Aldermen almost as important to the politicians as the Mayoralty year. CURES ALL SKIN TROUBLES. Sulphur the Accepted Remedy a Hundred Years. for Sulphur is one of the greatest reme dies nature ever gave to man. Every physician knows it cures skin and blood troubles. HANCOCK'S LIQUID SULPHUR enables you to get the full benefit in most convenient form. Don't take sulphur "tablets" or "wafers," or powdered sulphur in molases. Han cock's Liquid Sulphur is pleasant to take and perfect in its action. Druggists sell it, A well-known citizen of Danville, Pa., writes: "I have had an aggravated case of Eczema for over twenty-five years. I have used seven 50-cent bottles of the Liquid, and one jar of your Hancock's Liquid Sulphur Ointment, and' now I feel as though I had a brand new pair of hands. It has cured me and I am certain it will cure any-one if they per sist in using Hancock's Liquid Sulphur according to directions. "Butler Edgar." Boys Look Alike. Norfolk, "Va., April 4. S. M. Beas ley, of Currituck, N. C, has returned from Arkansas after an unsuccessful effort to find his son, Kenneth, for the alleged kidnapping and murdering of whom Joshua Harrison was recently convicted at Elizabeth City, N. C, and sentenced to twenty years in prison. Senator Beasley saw the youth in Ar kansas believed to be his son and says the boy was so much likeKenneth that it was hard to see how two boys not related could bear such resemblance to one another, but the Arkansas youth was not the lost child. TERRIFIC TORNADO. Special to the Argus. New Orleans, April 6. A score of persons were killed yesterday by a tornado which swept over 300 miles across portions of Louisiana, Missis sippi and Alabama. Parts of four towns were destroyed with damages exceeding $500, 000. The wind damaged property, crops and tele graph wires throughout its course. . Foraker has become the champion of the primary in Ohio. That institution is marching right along. The Democracy understands, this timet that while the Republican party might win with a reactionary candi date, the Democratic party will have to out-Herod Roosevelt.

ANDREWS SIMMONS. Special to the Argus. Raleigh, N. C, April 4 At a jonquil luncheon today at i o'clock, given by Mrs. L. A. Mahler, at her home in Ra leigh, in honor of her sister, the engage ment of Miss Eliza H. Simmons to Mr. Graham H. Andrews was announced. Miss Simmons had as her guests the following young lady friends: Misses Thompson, Haywood, Boylan, Busbee, Cheshire, Root, Jones, Young and Pittinger. The hous was beautifully decorated in jonquils.yellow jasmine and smfiax. The dining room was lovely with its exquisitely appointed table, which was most attractive with an artistic center piece formed of a basket of magnifi cent glowing jonquils and smilax, which in their fresh fragrance and beauty were typical ot life's spring time, hope and happiness, and were es pecially appropriate upon this occa sion. For each guest there was a buttoniere of jonquils and a souvenir hand-painted jonquil place-card. A very elaborate course luncheon was served, the color scheme of yellow and green being effectively expressed throughout. At the last, the engage ment was informally announced and the best wishes of those present were extended to the bride-to-be for her fu ture happiness. The wedding will take place in the late Fall. Miss Simmons is the daughter of Senator F. M. Simmons and a grand daughter of the late Col. L. W. Hum phrey of Golds bo ro. Mr. Andrews is the youngest son of Col. A. B.. Andrews, of Raleigh, and is a young man of sterling worth and wide popularity. The Congressman Burton who is helping the Taft boom In Ohio itf, of course, not related to the ex-Senator from Kansas, who is an anti-Roosevelt Republican. Considering the time it takes to make a flying machine and the distance it will fly before it collapses, the average man will conclude that he will save time by walking. CHILD ALMOSf A SOLID SORE From Skin Disease from Birth Until Six Years Old Father Spent Fortune on Her Without Benefit f Old Doctor Suggested Cuti cura, which Cured Her in Two Months, Leaving SKIN SOFT AS A BABY'S AND WITHOUT A SCAR " I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treat ments did her any good. Old Dr. G suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem edies which he did. When he com menced to use it the child was almost in a eolid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as eoft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her she was well. That is where I became acquainted with Cuti cura. I hope this may be of some ser vice to you in the future. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C, June 16, 1905.'
