gained 22 lbs. the first month. ' When
I discharged my physicians, I was suf

vomiting from two to six times a day,
. but after the first weeks use of Mi-o-na

ROOSEVELT VISITS EXPOSITION
It Was a Constant Rush from Place to
Place. Extraordinary Precautions
- Taken for His Safety.
'St. Louis, Nov. 26. PresidentRoos
ev'elt visited the Louisiana purchase
exposition and made the rounds of the
principal places of interest In record
time. He only touched the high pla
ces, to quote the expression of a mem
ber of the president's Immediate party
who was badly out of . breath, but he
saw a great deal and he seemed to ap
preciate it highly.
i It was almost a constant rushing
from one place to another from nine
o'clock In the morning until an hour
after nightfall. Mr. Roosevelt came
to see the fair and'he saw it, but Us
250.000 or 300,000 other people who
were on the grounds all day long ap
peered to have no interest in the expo
sition but were very anxious to seethe
president. No such Immense throng
of people was ever handled under bet
ter conditions by the police than this,
and Mr. Roosevelt saw the eights with
at little discomfort as if he had been
a private citizen.
J. he most extraordinary measures
were taken to , protect the president.
About thirty white badges had been
distributed among the members of Mr.
Roosevelt's immediate party and offl
clals of the fair, and no other person
without that badge was allowed to get
near the president under any circum
stances or upon any pretext.
Luncheon was served at 1:30 o'clock
at the west pavilion, only the members
of he president's party and a few ex
position officials being present. '
Mr.. Roosevelt was received with
much ceremony by the commissioner
general of France, Dr. George Gerald,
at the French building, .Dr. Gerald
was presented to Mrs. and Miss Roos
evelt and then proposed a toast to the
United States, its president and uni
versa! peace.' ;':;'T-i?C-' '." ' i " . ':
'' Replying, Mr. Roosevelt said! 'I
appreciate your entertainment and
your toast; I. wish to .thank; yoii fqr
your kindness and for your sentiments.
Yo'remark about Universal peace is
especially pleasing- to me.. . Here 'a to
the, health of President Loubetr'the
French republic and French people.4".
The sight-seeing had"" been' of a
strenuous character in the morning,
but it was slow as. compared with what
came in the afternoon. The agricul
ture building was first on the list, and
It proved to be one of the most , inter
esting lights of the day for Mr. Roose
velt. , .. ,
Carriages then took the party to the
Philippine exhibt where it was , plan
ned that the president should spend an
hour and a half. .The first thing on
the program was a drill of, Philippine
soldiers in the uniform pf the United
States army and led by two fine bands
of natives musicians. The president
reviewed the trops , from a special
stand erected for the purpose, and he
expressed his admiration time and
again. , , ; ,. ' .. ' -
At 8 o'clock the , president u was the
guest of honor at a- banquet in the Ty
rolean Alps ; building. - Six , hundred
men and women, consisting of officials
and attaches- of the exposition, and
members of their families, were seated
at the tables and the exposition or
chestra played patriotic airs. "
It had been announced that the presl-
dent would not make a public address
while at the fair,
peated call, for a speech and Mr.
Roosevalt replied briefly expressing
his appreciation of the - courteous
rrception that had been . accorded, to
him, , .

The Hostilities Marked by Efforts of
Individual Daring A Light Fall of
Snow.
Mukden, Nov. 20. The Japanese on
Nov. 24th again made a preliminary
bombardment of Poutiloff Hill, under
the cover of which they attacked, but
were repulsed. There were encounters
at other places along the front, but
they were in the r ature of small brush
es and mostly took place at night.
Yesterday there was a light fall of
snow and the surrounding country
now has all the appearance of winter.
Suez, Nov. 26. The Russian battle
ships Slssoi Veliky, flagship of Rear
Admiral Voelkersam, and the Neva
rio, arrived here today from Port Said
The rest of the division followed at
short Intervals and the whole of the
division is now anchored in the Suez
Roads.
The transit of the canal was effected
in the most satisfactory manner and
without inoident.
It is Admiral Voelkersam's present
Intention that the whole division shall
sail Sunday. In the meanwhile seven
torpedo boat destroyers have moved
outside the three-mile limit, the author
Hies having warned them that their 24
hours expired at 4:30 o'clock this af
ternoon.
No coaling will be allowed here.
Only water and provisions can be ta
ken on board. . . .v
Mukden. Nov. 25. via Pekin. Nov.
26. The lapse of six weeks without
fighting on any large scale, confirming
the belief that; the opposing armies
have relaxed for the winter, together
with the unexpected demonstration of
force which the Russians have been
able to 'make since the depletion of
their army as the result of the flghtipg
on the Shakhe river, emphasizes con
clusively the failure of the Japanese,
to prevent 4he assembly of a -large
Russian army in- Manchuria before
Spring, the defeating tbe strategy of
the Japanese and their most plausible
plans for the earliest occupation of
Manchuria. t ' " "
This outcome, taken In connection
with the general situation, appears to
guarantee that with the opening of
spring there will begin a contest, far
more terrible than any yet fought, and
points to the termination . of the war
in the next campaign. It is still - pos
sible that there will be a general attack
during the winter, but tibtC 'weather is
now broken and uncertain and seem
ingiy renders : it impossible for the
troops to eithe army to abandon their
present shelters. il'-i,.:,;;:' -
The hostilities are now characteriz
ed by individual efforts of a most dar
ing and dangerous ' character. One
outcome of the close relations between
the Russians and Japanese along the
Shakhe river has been the occasional
blowing up of houses by the opposing
outposts and the sniping of their occu
pants. ' ,
Chinese authorities have taken pre-
Umlnary steps to bring grain from the
'no ftD to to lf orMt,he use ofJhe
action was brought aoout by the desti
tution which has been prevalent some
twenty miles behind the Russian army,
which is commanding all grain and
other food supplies, and also , because
of the opinion that the army will move
north again. .
Russian "speculators .are- confident
that the army will hold its own and
are storing straw and 'other supplies
with a view to the coming of a time
when higher prices an be obtained.
As has been the case In all wars, there
is wide complaint that speculators
and army contractors are fleecing the
government, and the Russians are
freely denouncing them as the particu
lar curse of their country.

paf actor In the tragedy in, which he
shot to death his uncle, J.- S. Murray,
th afternoon released from custody.
He gave bond in the sum of !20,C00for
his appearance af the next term of
court.
tThis decision was reached without
averdict from the coroner's jury.
Solicitor Brooks, who was heredirect
ing matters for the prosecution, and
his associate, Judge W. P. Bynum of
Gpensboro, employed by the relatives
of the deceased, reached an agreement
with counsel for, tbe defendent that it
was not a case of murder in the first
decree and was bailable. The attor
neys then agreed that a bond of twenty
thousand dollars was sufficient. This
was tendered and was accepted, being
approved by both the coroner and the
mayor, who had held the prisoner on
a warrant issued a few minutes after
the tragedy. The bond was justified
sum of $61,500 and the men who
sighed the bond are easily worth more
than a half million dollars:

attorneys for the defendant aod prose-
cutfOn were in court. .The solicitor
announced the agreement of counsel
as to tbe bond, tbe state's representa-
tlp stating that he had examined, a
large number' of witnesses., arid found
that the facts were such that the case
was bailable. This was concurred id
by the counsel for the prisoner, Mr.
R. B. Boone stating that the attorneys
for the prisoner thought the bond was
unusually large, but that they had
agreed and were then ready to give the
bond of twenty thousand dollars. This
was a practical waiving of hearing by
the coroner, admitting the fact that a
homicide had been Committed, and al
lowing the. entire matter to go over to
court, i . --v ... ,
A few minutes after the bond was
accepted W. R. Murray left tbe police
station, where he had been in confine
ment since the killing yesterday morn
ing, was escorted toa carriage and
drove away to his home. There was-' a
tremendous crowd present, and he left
the station and passed ( through the
crowd with some difficulty, as manv
were his friends and wished to shake
hands with him. There was no demon
stration whatever.
The action today has met the ap
proval of the staunch friends of the
prisoner and of those who were f riends
to the deceased.
This afternoon the funeral over i the
regains of J. S, Murray was conduct
ed at his home and the interment' took
place in the city cemetery. A large
crowd attended the funeral.

NOTED PHYSICIANS OF EUROPE
HAVE PRESCRIBED COD
LIVER OIL.
As the Greatest Curative Agent
Strength Creator Known
to Medicine.
and
But they have also admitted thatow
ing to the vile, nauseating grease
which It Contained, and which had no
curative value whatever, It was lmpos
slble for patients to take into their
systems enough to obtain the best re
sults. ;
Therefore, the discovery of two
French chemists how to get the benefit
of the valuable curative elements of
cod's liver without the oil was hailed
with delight by, physicians the world
over. These Frenchmen found that the
medicinal curatives could be separated
from the grease and oil, and produced
in a concentrated form delicious to the
tiste and acceptable to the weakest
stomach. 1 Thus was created Vinol
which is sold by our local druggists,
J. E. Hood & Co, i oa a positive guar
antee to return money whenever it falls
to do all they claim for It. '.t r -t-:
J. E. Hood & Co. say that in Vinol
they offer the people of Kinston a cod
JIver oil , medicine acknowledged by
physicians everywhere as the greatest
curative agent and strength creator
known to medicine, and they "have
never sold anything in . their store
equal to Vinol to ' build up and
strengthen old people, weak .women
and children, and people who are run
downi tired, nervous and debilitated.
J.. E. Hoodl"& 'Co.? also guarantees
that Vinol will strengthen the digestive
organs, make ricn, ra blood, cure
