PAGE TWO THE RALEIGH EVENING TIMES: FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1908: THIS RENTUCRIAN ANDES MAKES WONDERFUL REPUTATION IN SHORT TIME. A man must be given credit when he can earn a wonderful reputation in three years, such as The Great Andes enjoys. He hails from the Blue Grass of Kentucky, and is said to be a broad minded man, who be lieves in doing good for his fellow men. The one important thing which has .brought him before the public, and given him a national reputation is his famous Medicines: Andes Great Prescription and Oil. He is now making a tour of the leading southern cities and his lectures on good health are attended by thous ands everywhere.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, March 27. Boor I'nholz is attracting about as much attention in thn pugilistic world just now as Prince Da Sagan is in the social world. Jim Jeffries tried to sign the Hoer for a twenty-five round fight with Joe Oans, but he has refused, saving that it must be for forty-five rounds or inure and at the lightweight limit with the title flopping to the winner. Jeff lias not decided what his card will bo now that the Boer has thrown him down, and we are awaiting his announcement hourly. He will try and get some one to hook up with liaiiH In. a twentv-tive round fight. last night Battling Nelson sent a wire from 'Frisco saying '.wit u fine offer had been made for a tight between the pair. The Boer wants no one but Gans. He would pass up a fight with a plotter of sauer kraut and pigs knuckle to get a soak on the jaw but as Coffioih is the onlv man who can handle a fortv five round go. the chances look very slim for the go. Gans wants a guaran tee of $12,000 before h.; will put up his dukes ln such a go. and Coffroth 're fuses to fork over said amount. He will give the men a percentage but no guarantee. Bruisers With Aristocratic Cognomen Battling De Sagan, the French llgnt weight, has offered to take on Spike Boni De Castellane and his two broth ers If any club will offer a decent purse. : De Sagan lost to Bonl in a round last year In Paris, but claims that his foot slipped and that the wallop was a fluke. In speaking of the light last night, he said: "This fellow De Castellane is only a fourth rate man. On the level, he couldn't punch a hole in a circus hoop, lot alone knock me out. Why we were onlv sparing for an opening the last time we met and In turning to Mitt a pal at the ringside, mv ankle turned, and white it was turning Boni sneaked up, copped me on the ear and I keeled. "Why, It's a Joke to class him with me. I'll take him and his two broth ers in a locked room, and If I don't trim the three of them in ten rounds. I ll give my purse to charity." Jim Jeffries has been scouting around for a card for his new Los Angeles Club, and, if he is really anxious, here's the chance of his life time. Some say that he quit in the go with Spike De Castellane, but those at the rlngsido say It was hard luck and that he really did turn his ankle. De Sagan'is doing light work now at his training quarters ln the Cafe Mar- Why It costs but w few cents to iind out that Elijah's Manna is the sweetest, lightest, and most appetizing nake food on the market. There's an "exelusiveness" about Elijah's Manna which makes the demand so great the Postum Co. find it difficult to make it fast enough, working day and night.

C, says: I had a stiff knee for five years and had tried several different liniments, en deavoring to euro it, but they failed. One of my friends told me of the Great Andes Oil, and what he had seen it do for others with stiff joints. I bought one bottle, cost me 50c. and before I had finished the bottle no ticed the stiffness began to leave. Now after using the whole bottle, I find I can bend and have as good use of mv knee as I did five years ago." I vou more about these Andes Great G.

THE READY TONGUE OF A COOL MAN (B v Leased Wire to. The Times) WUUesbarre. Pa., iarrh .27 -A panic was prevented when a fire broke out on the stage of Hales opera house at Towanda. by the ready tongue of a man in the gallery and the coolness of others. There was a shower of sparks on the stage, a burst of smoke, and a mass of burning scenery from the loft, having been thrown on the stage by a stage hand to prevent it setting fire to other pieces. -..- Instantly the audience was on its feet, and the curtain was lowered. A panic was imminent, when a loud voice in the gallery was heard crying. ' Keep up that curtain; we want to see the way you put out. the fire." Others took up the cry; there was laughter and applause, and the cur tain was raised. Actors and stage hands were seen beating out the blaze, and the audience, with its con fidence . restored, sat down and watched them doing it. It was a work of some minutes. Then the stage was cleared and the play resumed. Guess? EARTH OPENED AND SWALLOWED THETOWNWHOLE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Mexico City, March 27.

Freight Rate Hearing Before Commissioner (Continued From First Page.) with the earnings of the railway, its mileage, carrying ability, etc. From Winston-Salem dim! Durham. In the court room were a number of business men from Winston-Silem and Durham and quite a few spectators. The business men from Winston-Salem present are: N. L. Crawford, presi dent of the State Retail .Merchants' As sociation; C. M. Thomas, E. D. Vaughn, J. J. Norman, J. M. Rogers, P. H. Hanes. Jr., and A. L. Butner: from Durham: Gen. Julian S. Carr, WY E.

Norman, a wholesale mer chant of Winston-Salem, followed Mr. Brown and stated that on a great many commodities the freight rate Is much higher for Winston-Salem than It is for Virginia cities. The Jobbing busi ness, he said, was confined to a radius of less than seventy-five miles, In which territory the Virginia towns had as good a rate. In territory outside of this radius it was impossible to at tempt to compete with the cities of Vir ginia by reason of the higher rate'. Mr, Norman only desired an equitable rate and an equal chance with mer chants of Virginia towns. Mr, E. D. Vaughn, who came next, also testified that his firm was handi capped by reason of higher freight rates, giving instances. His testimony was on the line of that submitted by Mr. Norman. . The counsel for the Corporation Com mission announced before adjournment at 1:15 for dinner, that all the evidence would probably be submitted before night. The attorneys for the Norfolk & West ern and for the Virginia cities, on cross examination brought out the point that the rates enjoyed by Virginia cities are due rather to water facilities than to other causes.

From the Wilmington'. -Messenger:: North Carolina is no healthy plac? for Black Hand threats, or anarchistic proceedings in the way of warning re spectable people to leave their homes. There has recently been one case of eiich kind In this state. Both should be thoroughly investigated and the guilty parties severely punished. In the sending of an "Infernal machine" to Mr. Caesar ' Cone, of Greensboro, through the mail he was put in danger of his life or, at least of great bodily harm. In that case there can be no plea that It was intended ns a practical joke. Had he not received the letter of warning before, the arrival of the package there is no telling what harm would have been done. The man who sent the deadly package, If his identity can be established, should b? severely punished, frven if it was he who, after mailing the package, had repented of his action and sent the letter of warn ing; for even so. there was greit dan ger of a fearful accident to some one. Any one of the postal clerks handl'nc; the. package was liable to explode it, and there was possibility of the letter of warning not reaching Mr. Cone un til it was too late to prevent the fear ful results contemplated at the time of the mailing the deadly pickage. The sender committed a horrible crime and his punishment should be graded with th? possibility of the fearful re sults that might have followed his con duct. And there is that outrageous case In Mecklenburg county in which a coffin with a threat of direful calamity if a sum of money was not -pal : is left at the door of the residence of a respect able farmer. We are glad to know thit the authorities are on the track of the perpetrators of this deed. Some think It was done as a Joke. Men who play such Jokes ought to be given time in the penitentiary to reflect on the ser ious consequences which might follow such Jokes. The lady of the hcuse where this Joke (?) was played was so frightened that her condition became very serious and shs almost went into convulsions. Joke or no Joke, the men who did that deed should be severely punished. Such tricks as these are new in our part of the country and they should be nipped in the bud and so severe punishment meted out to the perpetra tors that they will not be repeated.

Exit Mr. Roosevelt, Radical. From the Charlotte Observer: We repeat It: The Big Stick Is no move. A previous review of the pres ident's special message as pretty accu rately outlined in press forecasts ren ders unnecessary a detailed discussion of that message as printed this morn ing. The conclusion then reached stands unqualified. It remains evident that the politician In Mr. Uoosevelt's make-up has become dominant, and on this account the message can be said to possess peculiar significance. Every thing proposed to congress, however opinions may differ upon the merits of this or the other recommendation, shows an unmistakable swing away from radicalism; and lt is therefore, a very fair inference that the president deems political advantage to lie In thn direction of conservatism. He may In tend little more than to placate 1 his enemies in the republican party, trust ing that tho radical element Is his anyhow, but we see some clear evi dence of a practical recognition on his part of the country's growing demand for less agitation. Thus the Mr. Roose velt who recently breathed out fire and slaughter against "predatory wealth" now presents himself as a reformer of the species calm, conservative, con structive. Our admiration for him re mains stationary or a little less, but we are firm In believing that the bus iness public and this moans almost the entire public Is very greatly to be congratulated. ffriiii): mm i u V MM I'lllll I n. ... ...... .y, , ALCOHOL 3 PER cent Mregc(ablePiipparalionIoriis slmiialing rteRwdanilRwijia ting tlie StamarJis andBow&i Promofes Digpslionllterful-1 ness and RestXorttalnsQcittsr OpiuTU-MarpMoe narMaeraL NOT IS ARC OTIC.
