By Associated Press Seattle, Wash., Feb. 13.—FrSncis S. McCombs, leader of a detachment of Mexican insurgents in the battle at Muiata, is the son of .lames McCombw, a wealthy retired farmer who lives near this city, and a relative of A. A. Denny, founder of Seattle. The di&patches telling of the battle at Muiata contained the first informa tion Mr. and Mrs. McCombs had received since their son went to Mex ico to fight with the insurgents. McCombd, who is 37 years of age, has served in many wars. His first mil itary experience was in the struggle between Turkey and Greece, when he enlisted on a Greek warship. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he enlisted in the United States navy, serving on the cruiser Columbia. Afterward McCombs' entered the American merchant marine only to leave it when a revolution broke out in Nicaragua. He served under Madriz during the rebellion and then returned to Seattle, where he remained until he started for Mexico la&t fall to join the insurgent forces. THIRTY YEARS TOGETHER. Thirty years of association—think of it. How the merit of a good thing .stands out in that time—or the worth lessness of a bad one. So there’s no gue?s work in this evidence of Thos. Ariss, Concord, Mich., who writesr “I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for 30 years, and its the best cough and cold cure I ever used.” Once it finds entrance in a home you can’t pry it out.

Miss Innocence is roscued from Great Domo's naughty grasp; ail are wed who show the slightest inclina tion for connubial felicity tl'.e Cow .jumps over the Moon, while Happy and Good Genii, Hans and Mike, together with a tremendous well-trained chor us, unite in son.gs of thanksgiving that all their effoits- have not been in vain a)id that everytiiing has ended happily for all concerned. “The City.’’ One of the big New York hits of last season v. ill be seen next Monday night at the Academy of Music, when Clyde Fitch’s last and greatest play, ‘The City,” the sensation of the past year in the metropolis, comes to Charlotte. The drama deals with the adven tures of a well-to-do country family I v.’ho move to the city and there meet v.iih all sorts of domestic disaster. One of the most interesting characters in tre play is George Frederick Han cock, a drug fiend, blackmailer and all- around degenerate. Geoifrey C. Stein l/lays Hancock in a most realistic man ner. having won the highe&t praise from the critics. S. B. Harding will be seen as George Rand, jr., the hero of thes tory.

CHARLOTTE POSTMASTER TELLS JOKE ON HIMSELF Mr. Warren Vines Hall, the Nortli Charlotte postmaster, may come gun- r.iug for the writer of this story, but he I old it himself and it is too good to i:ee]). Leaving homo the other morning. ]Mr. Hall’s mother asktd him to bring her some article cf merchandise ironi down town. In order to remember to nialce the purchase he placed his ring —a very valuable one—on his finger on the outside of bis glove. Instead of remembering to buy the article of merchandise when he arrived down town he j-eturned home, after filling some business engagements and his attention was called to the fact—by the good mother—that he had forgot ten to make her purchase and was also minus a good ring. Thr ring had been found by Conductor No. 14 on the North Charlotte car and had been left at The News office for the owner. It was through a News Lost and Found ad that Mr. Hall located his jewel and il was in The News office that he told •how it happened.” (It pays to watch The vN'p.nt Ad Page 8.) (-• Ring Tonight.

Sellon offers for public ap proval at the Academy of Music to morrow aftenioon and night, is truly a quick course in geography as well as offering still more evidence of thi& clever producer’s ability in pro ducing the best of laughable extrav aganza. It begins it’s extravagant story at prosaic Not Much \ille, Ind., where dwells the heroine, Miss Inno cence, in complete and happy igno rance of aught but sister beings. There she leads a simple, humdrum life in a ladies’ seminary, little reckon ing the Kaleidoscopic fate soon to befall her. Here enter most of the ac tors in the story, about 40 by count, and from the chaos resulting from the sudden meeting of so many and diverg ent chai'acters at one time, an abduc tion of the aforesaid beautiful maiden occurs which is executed solely by Great Domo, on whom is cast the onus of doing the heavy work through the whole of this laughable cancatenatlon.
