SPAIN'S PRIME MINIS TER. The Murderer Declared He Killed the Premier "in Accomplishment of Just vengeance." The assassination of the Prime Minister of Spain, Senor Cauo vas Del Castillo, who was shot and killed by an Italian anar chist, whose name is believed to be Michelo Angine Colli, at the baths of Santa Agueda 1 st Sun day afternoon, was undoubtedly cold-blooded and premeditated. Golli deliberately watched for an opportunity to kill the Span ish statesman, and he only fired when he had no chance of mis sing. Iu fact, the assassin, who was arrested almost immediately after the Premier fell dead at the feet of his wife, has declared as such to the examining mags istrate. The Prime Minister lingered for sometime in agony and passed away with the cry of "Long Live Spain." further details of the assassination show that Senor Canovas del Gastillo and his wife were present Sun day morning at the celebra tion of mass in the chapel at tached to the baths. After the mass the Premier was reading and conversirg with some rev porters, when the assassin ap proached and fired three shots at him with a revolver, hitting him in the forehead, chest and left ear. The wounded man fell to the ground crying, "Assassin long live Spain." The Premier was carried to his room and died shortly after extreme unction had been ad- ministered tv him by a priest of the Dominican Order. The murderer, who was im mediately seized by people who were in the vicinity of the scene of the crime, was severely han dled, and might have been kiK led had it not been for protec tion afforded him by a number of c'vil guards, who soon ran to the sceue of assassination. The prisoner, who declared he had killed the Premier "in accom plishment of just vengeance," at first gave the name of Rinaldi, and claimed that his deed was the outcome of an extensive an archist conspiracy. Later, how ever, the assassin confessed that his real name was Michelo An- geline Golli, that he was 26 years of age, a native of Boggia, near Naples, and that he left Italy and came to Spain in 1896. fter reaching Spain, Golli, ac cording to his own confession, resided at Barcelona, and partic ipated in doings of various an archist associations at that place. After sojourning at Barcelona for some time Golli visited France and Belgium and re turned to Spain in July last. After his return the anarchist seemed to have completed plans for the assassination of the Pri me Minister. He left Madrid for Santa Agueda at the saine time as Senor Canovas Del Castillo, and awaited an opportunity to assassinate the statesman. In appearance Golli is of medium height, wears a full beard and spectacles, and his demeanor is that of a quiet, law-abiding citi zen. He says he is satisfied with having done "his duty," and as, scrts that he had no personal grudge against the Premier and was merely obeying orders re ceived from his superiors in a secret society to which he be' longed. Spanish newspapers express great indignation at Golli s c;ime. Even journals that have Republican leanings praise the services of the deceased states ma.i. It is always gratifying to res ceive testimonials for Chamber laiu's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and when the endorsement is from a physician it is especially so. "There is no more satisfactory or effective remedy than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." writes Dr. R. E Robey, physician and pharma cist, "of Olney, Mo.; and as he has used the Remedy 111 his own family and sold it in his drug store for six years he should certainly know. For sale by W. W.

Butts was in Jail Charged with Betraying the girl Under Promise of Marriage. At Suffolk, Va., last Saturday Ben Butts was rescued from pris on. His one time sweetheart did it. To save him from a long) term in the State prison Laura Robinson, nineteen years old, went to the county jail and had a talk with deputy R. E. Nor- fleet. She also saw the prisoner. As a result the girl announced her decision to marry the ac cused. She and the prisoner were taken over to the Clerk's office wdicre a license was pro cured. Rev. James M. Copeland said the words which made them man and wife. A wide eyed crowd looked on curiously. The drama which ended in the legal union of these two per sons, began last week, when Butts was arrested and put in prison. He was charged witii betraying the girl under prom ise of marriage. Her mother said so. Laura swore to it at the preliminary hearing when Butts was held for court. The maniage released him. Ivlitcstto Your Itoweis Willi l-'iiHonrota.

Father of all, graciously look upon us as a family now seeking to behold thy face. As the morn ing light is thine, so the bless ing of the whole day must come from Thee. Guide us with thine eye, we humbly pray thee, and give thine angels charge concerning us, lest at any time we dash our foot against a stone. Above all, grant unto us large gifts of the holy spirit. We do not pray for bread alone, but for the bread of life that cometh down from heaven. For one another and for our absent friends we would fervently pray. Bless the old and the young, and with the sick and the fain tine be thou very gentle. Watch over those who are full of care and speak comfortably to those to whom wearisome days and nights are appointed. Sanctify our success, and may our fail ures teach us that it is not in man to direct his way. Go with the man to business, ana may thoe who stay at home feel themselves under the constant care of God. The lord under. take for every one of us accords ing to our heart's necessity and multiply unto us his grace, so that beyond all our want there may be and overflow of divine love. Amen. Sarsaparilla Sense. Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa rilla. True. So any tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades differ. Vou want the test. It's so with sarsaparilla. There are grades. You want the best. If you understood sarsaparilla as well as you do tea and flour it would be easy to determine. But you don't. How should you? When you are going to buy a commodity whose value you don't know, you pick out an old established house to trade with, and trust their ex perience and reputation. Do so when buying sarsaparilla. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been on the market 50 years. Your grandfather used Ayer's. It is a reputable medicine. There are many SarsaparUlas but only one Ay ex a. It cures. RAP1STJGAUSHT. Doctor" Davis, ihe Ne gro Wanted in Chowan County, Arrested at Raleigh. 1 1 HIS VICTIM 11 YEARS OLD. T1IK CKIMK WAS COMMITTI-.H A MONTH AGO, AND HIS VICTIM HAS SINCE 1)1 KD OP HKK ' ' INJUR IKS. The ATcws & Observer tells of of an important arrest made at Raleigh Monday night, when Officer Lambeth caught George Davis, Alias Dr. Davis, wanted in Chowan county. Davis criminally assaulted a little 1 1 -year old colored girl in Chowan county about a month ago, inflicting such injuries upon her that she has since died. A reward was at once offered for him by the State and descrip tions 01 him sent out all over the State. And Monday night he was captured at his home iu the Fourth ward of Raleigh. The News & Observer says: He is well known here, hav ing worked and resided here all his life. It is not known that he was ever before in any serious trouble. About a year ago he went off down to the eastern part of the State to work he says to Nor folk. It was while he was in that section that the crime with which he stands charged was committed. He returned to Raleigh last week. The rape was committed July 8th. Davis denies bitterly that he is the guilty man, and declares that he was in Norfolk when the crime was committed. But Davis' description fits too accurately the description of the Davis who committed the crime for there to be any doubt about his ident ity. However, to guard against any possible mistake Chief of Police Norwood yesterday after noon had some pictures of Davis taken and sent them to the sheriff of Chowan county, ac companied by an accurate writ ten description of the man. It is expected that an officer will reach here either to-night or to morrow to take Davis back to Chowan to answer for his fiendish deed. The charge will be a double one rape and murder and if he is is really the man wanted there will be 110 chance for him to save his neck. NOT THE RIGHT MAN. Since the above was put in type, later news from Raleigh says : George Davis, the negro who was arrested here last Monday night, on the charge of raping and murdering an 11 -year-old colored girl near Edcii'ou, Chow an county, on July 8th, has been released. He was set free by Chief of Police Norwood yesterday after noon 011 receipt of a telegram from the authorities at Edeuton saying that they failed to recog nize their man " D. Davis, alias Daniel Webb, " from the pic tures sent them ; and that Davis had lived at Edeuton for six years previous to committing; the crime. Under these conditions, of course George Davis could not be held, though the description given of " D. Davis " fits him ex actly and he has been in that section of the State for the past year. There is a reward of $200 for D. Davis, the man who commits ted the crime. He is about 5 feet, 7 inches high ; black, with a decayed snaggle tooth and gray hair. He stoops a 11 d walks sideling ; is gizzard-footed and bottle-toed. BOY BATHER DROWNED. Little Felix Robbins, of Char lotte, N. C, was drowned while bathing at Carolina Beach, near Wilimingtoii, N. C. Tuesday evening. The sea was unusually heavy and a big breaker tore the boy from the life line, to which he was clinging, and swept him outward before the eyes of . his horrified mother. Diligent search was made for the recovery of the body, but to no purpose. THE SANCTIFIED BAND. Awful People According to a Letter Received by Governor Russell. WILL BE REFERRED TO LAW OFFICERS. THI2 GOVERNOR IS ASKED TO ISSUE A -PROCLAMATION OR DERING THE LYNCH 1TES i AND THEIR ARKS FROM THE STATE. Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 10. (gpecial) Governor Russell has received a stirring appeal to come to the rescue and drive from the State the vile "Sancti fied Band," which has afflicted some of the eastern counties. The letter says: "We beg you to stop violations of the laws of God and man, which are dis'. turbing the good people of our section. There is a band among us known as the "Lynchites," going about in what they call "arks" or floats, and who are teaching the people that no mat ter what they do, so long as they are 'sanctified' it is no sin. The result is they are parting man and wife. The women claim to become sanctified and then what ever they do is 110 sin. These people are telling women that after sanctification they can be any man's spiritual wife. They are demoralizing the whole county, ruining young women, and bringing strife among the people. They go so far as to say that niinisteis who have been preaching God's word for twenty and forty years ought to be killed. Young women are drowning their offspring in num bers. Many are going crazy. The leaders are the meanest and the lowest people in the world, and were driven from Virginia on account of their be haviour in that State. We ask you to issue a proclamation that all these arks and all that have joined these Lynchites to leave our State. If you aesire to know more write the sheriffs of Beau fort, Carteret, Pamlico, Onslow and Pitt comities. It is alleged by some that these people use a horse-tamer's drug. We pray you to give ns relief. If you do not do something, Governor, flie people will, but they ask you to grant relief." Private Secretary Alexander says the matter will be at once laid befoie the solicitors, so pros ecutions can be made. The mat ter will be pushed.

August 4th. a boiler at the mill of Runiley Bros, exploded, in- stantlv killing several persons and seriously scalding others, some of whom will die. .he cause of the explosion was fail ure to have sufficient water in boilers. New boilers will be placed at once. Losing Flesh You naturally lose flesh In the summer and running down Is so easy. You get a little weaker each day without hard ly noticing it. There is loss of appetite, headache, weakness of the muscles, disturbed sleep, weakness of memory, and these are the beginning of nervous prostration. Iron and tonics and bitters may afford some temporary relief, but what you need is a food for body, brain and nerves. SccttEinutGicru of Cod-liver Oil with the Hy pophosphites, furnishes just the nourishment needed for those who are run down and pale and thin and weak.

Lillian Madison's Brother Love Affair is Supposed to have caused the rash act. Wednesday night, on the C. & O. passenger train, between Richmond and Norfolk, Va., Charles S. Madison, a well- known Richmond man, about 30 years of age, committed sui cide by shooting himself through the head. He was a brother of Lillian Madison, whose sensa tional murder by Cluverious, in Richmond over a decade ago, shocked the entire continent. The cause of the young man's rash act could not be ascer tained among the passengers or from the conductor. It is probable that his love affair had something to do with it, a note, bidding his sweetheart a farewell, being found among his effects. ELECTIONS NEXT FALL. There Will Be Enough to Keep Politicians Guessing. There will be a number of interesting elections held in No vember of this year, and politics promises to be lively. New York City will elect a mayor for what is known as Greater New York. The State will elect a chief judge of the Court of Appeals and a new Assembly. Ohio is to choose a Governor, a State ticket and a Legislature. Iowa is to choose a Governor. Virginia a Governor and a full State ticket. Massachusetts is to choose a full State ticket and a Legislature, and the free sil ver line is to be drawn there. Pennsylvania will elect a State treasurer and an Auditor Gtns eral. New Jersey will elect State Senators and members of the Legislature. The two great Senatorial con tests are in Ohio and Maryland A State Comptroller and Clerk of the Court of Appeals will also be elected in the latter State. Nebraska holds an election lor Judge of the Supreme Court and Regents lor the State University. Its returns will throw some light upon Bryanism in the country west of the Missouri. The city of Detroit elects a mayor on No vember 2d. This contest may be fought upon municipal issues, or along national lines. Until the contest develops further no prediction as to the significance of the returns can be made. The contest in Kentucky for Clerk of the Court of Appeals will bring out a good sized vote, and there is not a State in the Union which in the present con dition of partizan warfare is more important. Kentucky was saved for Mc Kinley last year by the narrow est kind of a plurality, clearly attributable to the votes of the gold standard Democrats. This year the gold Democrats are de termined to make a contest of their own, that their party strength may be more fully dem onstrated. To (uro Con t 1 pat ton I'orcror.
