The board of di rectors, aided by the untiring efforts- of President Dunn and Mr. Geo. Green, the efficient secretary of the association, have necured one of , the greatest and largest attractions ever placed on a' fair ground in this State, It will be the good fortune of all visitors to see the same In its entirety from April 16th to the 21st, inclusive. The attractions consist in what is known as the Great Southern Carnival and Midway; Co. They will bring about one hundred strange; odd and remarkable people from the Oriental lands. In that big company there will be Turks, Arabs," Syrians, Algerians, bowling and whirling dervishes, - sword fighters, magicians, native singers and dancers, both male and female. There will be startling revelations of Oriental life; peaceful scenes and past-times of the sultan's domains. Visitors will have an opportunity to see how those . people actually exist, live and amuse themselves Id their own country. There will be : en tire families, from the old irrey-headed grandfather to tbe toddling tot whose infant footsteps have Just left tbe cradle. For the first time in tbe history of the Nowbern fair, the large concourse of vis itors that annually consrreirate there each spring, will witness a vivid repro duction of the famous streets of Cairo as it was given at the world's fair; taken part in by the same 'people' who made that exhibition on the mighty highway of nations famous.' There will be special night performances during the entire time and it will be certainly a -fascinating scene, with tbe bright lights flashing on the gaudily bedecked costumes character istic of these people, with the strange and weird music playing, and with the sound ing beat of tbe tom-tom keeping time to the sylph-like movements of the dancing girls, far-famed Jo song, and story, in the great enclosure will be native attend ants, careful drivers to assist the visitors. especially the ladies and children in camel and donkey rides up and down tbe irreg ular formation of the noted street. ' With all these : marvelous attractions placed at our very door-way, it is safe to state, that this the coming spring, will mark a new era in the history of the New bern fair and industrial exhibition; and as one great feature added, there will ' be placed in the permanent show building, which will be entirely renovated and re modeled for the occasion. Prof. Chas. W. Clinton's Colossal Columbian Carnival" of ; trained and wild animals. The as tounding aggregation of animal actors, daring trainers, fearless male and female rulers of the animal world, . will give startling revelations of tbe past-times and amusements that were once ; the sport of tbe Roman rulers, in ' a large iron arena so constructed and arranged that each and every person visiting will iiave a clear and unobstructed view of the entire performance. "There will beturned loose, untamable lions, ferocious boar hounds, hungry wolves and docile lambs; and the famous trainers entering the dens, there will be given a vivid illustra tion and verification of the famous Bib- ical text, ."the lion and Iamb shall lie down together," There will be dancing bears, monkey clowns, beautiful .trained doves, and in fact, representatives from every family of thev animal world, to startle, entertain and amuse the visitors. Of course you are coming to the Kew- bern fair, and I would advise you not to miss the great wild animal show, for about the firsts thing your friends will ask you when you return home, will be whether you paid it a visit or not. It. will be the sensation of the entire fair pe riod, and probably cater to more admir ing thousands than all the other shows put together. . The cities of Newbern and vicinity can certainly congratulate' themselves and extend their grateful thanks to the gen tlemen named above for being so euccess- ul as to secure tbismonsterasTrresration. We are looking forward to a royal good time and can assure our readers that they will not be disappointed. TURNS STATE'S EVIDEN0I3. Kentuoky Republicans ?' Excited Over This Report aa to Golden; and Threaten to Lynch Him If It Is True. , : . .. Cincinnati, March 10.-Mr. T. C. Camp. bell, representing ths brothers of the late William Goebel in tbe prosecution of the assassin of Mr. Goebel, was here today fresh from a conference with his asso ciates held at Lexington.' iJ & " He said that so far as now known the assassin was not yet arrested, and added that tbe assassin would be arrested when ever a force of 3,000 armed men could be bad to go to a certain county in eastern Kentucky, v He sa'd further vtbat tbe at torneys for the commonwealth claim to have proof to establish a ; conspiracy for tbe assassination, but be made the asser tion that this conspiracy was not charged against the Republican leaders, but was against what is known as the anti Goebel party. He further said it includes men who were officials prior , to the", late elec tion and men who thought" they became otnciais alter tbe late election. 51 r Frankfort, Ky., March I9.f-Caleb Pow ere, John Davis and William H. Coulton. charged with being accessoriee to the muTder of William Goebel were arraigned today for trial before Judge Moore. ; The commonwealth was not ready, and by agreement the trials, were, set for next Friday. ' , ' . ' . Jbx-uov. John xoung jprown made a demand for a list of witnesses for the commonwealth, but this was refused by the prosecution on the ground that pub licity might cause some of them to avoid i Commonwealth's ' Attorney Franklin and County Attorney Polsgrove refused to either affirm or deny the story that Sergeant Golden had made : an alleged confession' of knowledge concerning the Goebel assassination. - " i. Barbotisville.Ky., March 19.A report reaching here today that F. W.. Golden had turned state's evidence in the Goelel murder case, caused great surprise. He was a close friend of Caleb Powers, doing a great deal 6f work for. him during the recent campaign. It is said that he left here on a telegram from the attorneys for the prosecution to come to Lexing ton. When the news reached here that be had made a confession, friends of the accused parties became very uneasy and prominent Republicans said 'that if it should be true, "the trees would bear fruit that they never bore before." The business man who says he will not advertise because his grandfather also a business man didn't would seriously object to a proposed abandonment of other attributes of modern progressive cess.

As usual, ; his visit has been followed by reports of conversations with old friends, containing breezy com ments upon the present policy of the Bepnblican party. It is said -that when he w as lunching with Senator Beveridge, and the conversation turned upon the Porto Bican muddle, Beed was heard to remark: "You have got into just the trouble people always get into when they try to govern somebody else beiore they have learned to govern themselves." - Mr. Beveridge, who was all this time defending1 himself' with spirit, finally reached the point where he charged the ex-speaker with "dreaming." "Yep," drawled Mr. Reed, "I did "dream, once that the republic would last forever. But now I am waking up." A $6,000 company was chartered Monday to manufacture chairs at Frank '.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DTSTITTJTEL Instructive and Interesting Normal - Sohool for Sunday School Teach Reported for The Fru Press. ; r On Sunday, March lltb, Kev. B. W. Spilman. the corresponding secretary of the Sunday sohool board of the Baptist state convention, began a normal school for teachers with the Baptist church, which lasted for three days. Sunday, at tbe 11 a. m. servlce he preached an instructive and impressive sermon to a large congregation on "The Citizenship of Jesus,' or "If He Lived in Klnston.H-v.A In the afternoon from blackboard , ex ercises he showed how easy it was. for the teacher to gain and hold . tbe atten tion of small boys and girls. For this kind of work Mr. Spilman has special aptness. Everybody gives attention when he is before them ' to entertain or instruct. 1 '' .- - Sunday evening's subject was "The Bible as a Whole." a After showing that the Bible was not simply a book, - but a library made up of many books, be gave much valuable information as to bow to study it and understand its teachings. In dwelling upon its origin his argument was most effective in meeting skepticism and infidelity. The large congregation was ipuch edified by tbe discourse. ; SECOND DAY. ' On Monday morning at 10:30 a con gregation smaller but not less appreci ative. met to hear the instruction of Rev. A. H. Harnly, of the Newbern Baptist Tabernacle, on -The Superintendent." Mr. Harnly is a cultured gentleman and mntfa a firm effort. The duties and Qual ifications of the superintendent are clearer to us and those who desire to head the best Sunday schools will know better how to manage them by bis instruction. A larger crowd greeted Mr. bpuman in the afternoon in the open conference on "Some Teachers I've Known.",, It gave the teachers an opportunity to see many defects in teachers and teaching and to magnify the desirable features , of the class work..,. Those.present willtry to be better teachers for having been there. f Monday night was a red letter session of the Institute. Not because of the large attendance, for tbe rain greatly inter fered with that, but for the greatest srjeech of the whole occasion by the su perintendent on "Sunday: School Leak age." It is much to say, when so many know bow to appreciate all of Mr. Bpil man's efforts, that this was tbe master- niece of his series of lectures. The only pity is that so many did not bear it and can never appreciate it. . -' - ' , , , j. THIRD DAY. ' '. t At 10:80 a. tn. Mr. S pil man gave a blackboard outline of "The Land of Pal estine and its Physical History." , Our study of the entire Old Testament will be enhanced by tbe information be gave us on the geography and history of the Canaanites and the Israelites and the causes of their .constant troubles from the enemies of the north and south. Following this exercise we had a most instructive exposition. 01, tne "Messianic Kingdom,'' by Rev. Higut g. Moore,irom Middle Street church, Newbern. Mr, Moore exhibited the finest traits of the scholar and DhilosoDher and made the students of the Bible feel that there were yet many interesting discoveries to make in the study of the kingdom of Christ. He is a fine speaker. In the afternoon we bad a unique ad dress from Mr. Moore on "The Bible by Heart." This was a masterpiece and de serves to be considered more at length than space will allow here. : ; ; ;- We only hope it will cause many 01 us to hide in our hearts ; more of ; the un changed word of God. ; " The closing scene was upon usatnignt Mr. Spilman made his last address to a good bouse on "The Art of Teaching." It was a very practir al tneme ana nan- died by a master of the art. At the close of this address he answered many im portant questions that ought to profit those interested in the conduct of a Sun day school. ; ;' ,; , ; The institute was i great success. It is regretted that so few delegates at tended from the neighboring scnoois. The visitinsr Dastors wer: Rv. J. W. Rose, of Goldsboro; Rev. W. L. Bilbro, of Ayden; Revs. Hight C. Moore and A. H. Harnly, of Newbern. The only visiting superintendent was Mr. C. C. Clark, Jr., of Middle Street church, Newbero. The DaDtist church of Kinston and the entire community are brought under oMigations to Rev. B. W. bpilman for bin valuable work. It will greatly help to reconcile us to the mischief he did in robbing our nock. Y.'hite's Black Liniment. It cures Pehtica Rheumatism and Neura'.pa. A le bottle for 1 Zc. T. 13. lloon. STATE HEWS.
