Cooper's recent visit r'ucago, where his new preparation I ilitory created the usual sensation, n hundreds of people brought .nrunis internal parasites to the ::m man. which had left the system . : taking his medicine. ncnz these people was Mr. Emil ;!aKi-. who brought to Cooper a iV.dnu that proved to be over uiy feet in length. Mr. Winkler 0 resides at 1S2 East Ohio street, i:;mo. had this to say of his ex- 1 si iM o: "For five years I have been ;v or less complaining.

He added the infor mation that he had for some time ,n suspicious of the relations be !'vcen his wife and Sumner and to - nfirni his suspicions he had on Tues-a-.-y told his wife that he would be ab- in from home until late that night. He i t earned home early in the even ii;u. however, and statoned himself ".vhere he could observe his house. He alleged that Sumner and his wife came ::em the house, and misconducted themselves close to the spot where he v.-as hidden, whereupon he at once op- n?d fire on Sumner. He said Sumner iiid not fall till he had put three bul lets into him.

I feel much better alrea dy, and I want to say right here that I thank Mr. Cooper a hundred times for what his medicine has done for me.

We sell and will be pleased to explain the Cooper preparations. R. II. Jordan & Co. SANG HER VERY BEST Frederick the Great Was Posted and Marie Frausch Was Wise. There is a good story told of a prima donna named Marie Frausch, who lived in the time of Frederick the (Treat. Whenever anything or any body displeased the haughty Frausch she, after the manner of prima don nas in general, would suddenly be come to hoarse to sing. One even ing there was to be sung an opera in her repertory, and it was expected that the king Avould attend. At the appointed hour the manager came forward and announced that, owing to a sore throat, Fraulein Frausch was unable to appear. The people were preparing to leave the house, but his majesty rose and commanded them to keep their seats. A few moments afterward an officer and four dragoons entered the capri cious singer's room. "Fraulein," said the officer, "the king inquires after your health." . "The king is very good," said Frausch, with a pout, "but I have a sore throat." "His majesty is aware of the fact and has charged me to take you to the military hospital to be cured." Fraulein, turning very pale, suggest ed that they were jesting, but was told that Prussian officers never indulged in persiflage. Soon she found herself in a coach with four men. "I am a little better now," Frausch faltered, "and I will try to sing." "Back to the theatre!" said the offi cer to the coachman. The fraulein began to think she had yielded too easy. "I shall not be able to sing my best," she interposed. "Pardon, fraulin," responded the officer, "but I think vou will." "And why?" "Because two dragoons in attend ance behind the scenes have orders to carry you off to the military hospital at the least cough." Fraulein Frausch never sang bet ter than she did that night.

There was another cut at Spencer late Wednesday afternoon when a half hutfdred car men and carpenters were laid off. The men do not take the cut with good grace but many openly assert their belief that it is in retaliation for refusing to accept a general reduction in wages. This, however. General Manager Ackert denies. Nothing definite will be done until the board of arbitra tion now in session at Washington finishes its work and makes a find ing. There are grave fears of a gen eral strike of all the organizations all over the system. The lay-off is a hard blow not only to the men directly affected but to the merchants and other business in terests of Salisbury and Spencer. It is causing a loss in wages of between 12,000 and $15,000 a week at the Spencer shops alone. Fiddlers Convention For High Point Special to The News. High Point, N. C, March 13.

Some of the boys had a fox chase this morning. Mr. C. C. Bennett had a large gray fox which was liberated in time for it to have a good start of the dogs. The fox ran well for a time, but the dogs soon caught it. Mr. P. H. Johnson has bought from Mr. J. A. Clinard the store building on Main street which has been occupied by Mr. Johnson as a grocery store for a great number of years. The price paid was $7,400.

The officers here are looking for Bob Cobbler, a white man who escaped from the county convict camp yes terday. He was sent there about a year and a half ago to serve a two year sentence for the larceny of a watch. A few weeks ago Cobbler was made a "trusty" by which he was given more freedom than the aver age prisoner. Shortly after his es cape two officers went to Cobbler's home, but they reached there a few minutes too late. Just as they en tered the front door Bob went out the back door and made his escape climbing over a high fence. Mrs. A. to her friend Mrs. B. "O dear! just listen to my last experi ence. At the last ball my Alice made the acquaintance of a young man who appeared to take a great fancy to her. As I considered him a very desirable suitor, I invited him often to dinner, and as he moreover ap peared to be considerable of a gour mand, I hired a very accomplished cook. Nov do you suppose he. mar ried my daughter? Not a bit of it he married my cook!" . IT DOES Ix-.E BUSINESS. Mr. E. B .Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "It does the business: I have used it for piles and it cured them. Used it for chapped hands and it cured them. Applied it to an old sore and it heal ed it without leaving a scar behind." 25c at Woodall & Sheppard's drug store. RAIL RCflD I JUDGE PRITCHRRD SPEAKS IH DURHAM 1 Uneec!

THE BATTLE OF THE YALU. One of the Queer Incidents of This Great Naval Conflict. This strange incident of a great naval battle way.,, told by Commis sioner McGiffin of one of the Chinese warships in the battle of the Yalu between the Chinese and the Japan ese fleets in 1894: "About this time the Chih Yuen boldly to somewhat foolhardy bore down on the Japanese squadron's line. Just what happened no one seems to know, but apparently she was struck below the water line by a heavy shell, either a ten inch or a thir teen inch. Be ; that as it may, she took a heavy list, and, thus fatally injured, her commander, Tang Shi Chen, a most courageous albeit a most obstinate officer, resolved at least to avenge himself and charged one of the largest of the enemy's ships, intending to ram. "A hurricane of projectiles from both heavy and machine guns swept down upon his ship. The list be came more pronounced, and just be fore getting home to his intended victim his ship rolled over and then plunged bow first into the depths. She righted herself as she sank, her screws whirling in the' air and carrying down all hands, including her chief engineer, Mr. Purvis, shut up in the engine room. Seven of her crew clung to one of the circular buoys kept on the bridge and were drifted by the tiae toward the coast where they were rescued by a junk. "Stories told by these men vary so much as to be unreliable but all agree on one incident: Captain Tang had a large dog of most vicious tem per, unruly at times even with his master. After the ship sank Captain Tang, who could not swim, managed to get an oar or some small piece ot wood. This would have been enough to support him had not his dog swum to him and, climbing up on him, forced him to release his grasp. Thus he miserably drowned, and the brute shared : his fate, perhaps the only case on record of a man being drowned by his dog." FIRE AT HOLTSBU RG. Mr. H. Clay Gr.'ff Looses Handsome Residence by Fire Yesterday. Special to The News. Salisbury, N. C, March 13. Mr. H. Clay Grubb yesterday lost a valuable dwelling at Holtsburg, Davidson coun ty, by fire.

After a great deal of effort and cor respondence R. H. Jordan & Co., the popular druggists, have succeeded in getting the Dr. Howard Co. in making special half price introductory offer on the regular fifty cent size of their celebrated specific for the cure of con stipation and dyspepsia. This medicine is a recent discovery for the cure of all diseases of the stom ach and bowels. It not only gives quick relief, but it makes permanent cures. Dr. Howard's specific has been so remarkably successful in curing con stipation, dyspepsia and all liver trou bles, that R. H. Jordan & Co. are wil ling to return the price paid in every case where.it does not give relief. The old fashioned idea of dosing with mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh purgatives will soon be a thing of the past. The best physicians are prescribing Dr. Howard's specific be cause it really gives the desired re sults and on account cf the small and pleasant dose that is needed. Headaches, coated tongues, dizziness, gas on stomach, specks before the eyes, constipation, and all forms of liver and stomach trouble are soon cured by this scientific medicine. So great is the demand, for this spe- I cific that R. H. Jordan & Co. have been able to secure only a limited supply, and every one who is troubled with dyspepsia, constipation or liver trou ble should call upon them at once, or send 25 cents, and get sixty doses of the best medicine ever made, on this special half price offer with their personal guarantee to refund the mon ey if it does not cure.
