The store of Barrier-Widenhouse

tered last night and from twelve 10
fifteen suits of men's elothing taken.
Entrance was made by breaking the
transom over tbe front door and,
judging by tbe number of goods taken
and the way the store was en'.ered,
there is little doubt but that it was
the work of a gang of thieves. The
bum s taken run in large sizes, the
smallest being No. 33. A eanvas
rlothing cover is also missing and i
is supposed the clothes were tied in
this and carried away. The cash

If the ' typhoid fever germ comes

The arm beconyg sore and the pa

holding a two days' carnival and ju
bilee to celebrate the opening of the
United States government's recla
mation reservoir installed here to ir
rigate 14,000 ucres in the, Orland unit
district in Glenn county. The festiv
ities were ushered in this morning
with i lie crowning of the carnival
queen, followed by a street pageant
and a progiamme of speeches. Other
parades, sporting contests and carni
val attractions will carry the celebra
tion over tomorrow. Many visitors
are here from the surrounding coun

honor of the opening of which the cel
ebration is being held, is 26 miles in
circumference. The reservoir is cre
ated by a dam across Stony Creek.

Destroyed by Fire.
Greensboro, June 15. Fire early
tonight destroyed the Avalon cotton
mill at Mayodan, Rockingham county,
entailing a loss of probably $250,000
or more. The fire originated in the
machinery room, but no one knows
just how it started, or how it was
caused. The blaze was discovered
about 7 or 8 o'clock and it had al
ready made too much progress to be
handled b ythe inadequate fire fight
ing facilities. A large crowd of oper
atives of the mills gathered about
and witnessed the work of ihe fire
fiend, powerless to stay its ravages.
The mill was burned to the ground
and is practically a total loss.
Wants to Do Away With High
Heeled Shoes.
Troy, N. Y., June 15. A nation
wide movement .to fight the wearing
of high-heeled shoes, is the plan of
Judge E. W. Howard, of the Supreme
Court of New York. In an address
here last night, Justice Howard said
to an audience of women :
"The wearing of high-heel shoes is
as barbarous and as torturing and
as destructive of health as Chinese
wooden shoes. It is as heathenish
and outlandish as wearing rings in
the nose, or tattooing the face and
it breeds an ungainly and deformed
race."

Uncle Sua Extend Invitation to
Owners ef Recant 8imrea.
Henderaonvilla, N. C, Jane 13.
Tbe thousands of gallons of good li
quor seised by tha town authorities
last Monday, in a aiore room on Main
street, in the heart of tba city, ia still
there in charge of the police. The
real owners of tha booze are not yet
known. O. M. Carann waa found in
charge of the place, waa arrested and
will be given a hearing on Friday,
when it is expected . a general show
down of all kinds will be made.
It is hardly probabla now that
there will be a peacelful settlement of
the affair. It ia understood the own
ers of tbe stuff propase to test the le
gality of the ordinance under which
the seizure waa made and they claim
it is said, to have good grounds for
damages, either against the town or
against the board of jeommiasioners as
individuals. Two men from the Ashe
ville revenue offlee were here yester
day, inspected the liquor and found
that all the Federal government re
quirements had been complied with.
It is understood the owners of the
liquor will claim the stuff was merely
stored where it waa found that they
really had no intention of selling it at
all. That's what thy will say.

Salisbury Post, ISthj
An aecident with; fatal result oc
curred at 11:30 o'clock this morning
when the little son (f Mr. and Mrs.
James McCorkle fell from a cab, the
wheels passing over its head, death
resulting an hour later. The particu
lars as gathered by tbe Post are as
follows: j
The old and faithful nurse of the
McCorkle home ia ill at her home in
Jersey City across ihe western rail
road an( Mrs. McCorkle this morning
ordered a eab, that Of George Mont
gomery, colored, and went to see the
nurse, taking her two children, Eliza
beth, three years old, and James Mar
shal, ten months old, with her. On
leaving the home of the nurse the
cab had not proceeded far when the
mother turned to giVe some little at-

ner the baby fell from her lap to the
ground a wheel of the vehicle passing
over its head. Dr. J. B. Council was
near in his buggy and rendered as
sistance, at the same time, accompa
nied bv the mother, hurrying the child
! o the Whitehead-Stokes sanatorium.
Upon examination it was found that
its condition was serious and death
resulted in an hour.
London Donning Gala Attire.
London, June 16. Judging by the
progress already made in the work of
decorating London for the coronation
the far from lovely city will be al
most transformed within the nexlt
few days. While tbe city corpora
tion has appropriated only $125,000
for the expense of decoration and il
lumination, it is already evident that
private, expenditures will bring the
total up to fully $1,000,000. Special
designs by prominent artists have been
produced making highly pleasing ef
fects in Ludgaie Hill, Fleet street,
St. Paul s churchyard and other noted
thoroughfares through which the
King and Queen will pass during their
State visits to the city following (he
coronation. In the West End, St.
James' street always remarkable for
its decorations is being converted
into a bower of floral garlands, with
flags representing all of the colonies,
and a host of crowns.
Indications point to the amicable
adustment of the demands of the en
gineers fit the Southern Railway for
a wage increase of 25 per cent.

TOMORROW.
"Tomorrow," said the languid
man, "I'll have my life insured, I
guess ; I know it is the safest plan, to
save my children from distress." And
when the morrow came around, they
placed him gently in a box ; at break
of morning he was found as dead as
Julius Caesar's ox. His widow is now
scrubbing floors, and washing shirts
and splitting wood, and doing fifty
other chores, chat she may rear her
wailing brood. ' ' Tomorrow, ' ' said the
careless jay, "1 11 take an hour and
make my will; and then if I should
pass away, the wife and kids will know
no ill." The morrow came, serene
and nice, the weather mild, with signs
of rain; the careless jay was placed on
ice, embalming fluid in his brain.
Alas, alas, poor careless jay I Tbe law
yers got his pile of cash; his wife is
toiling night and cay, to keep the kids
in clothes and hash. Tomorrow is the
ambushed walk avoided by the circum
spect. Tomorrow is the fatal rock on
which a million ships are wrecked.
