Raleigh is surely coming to the front
so far as the business house, decorating
windows, goes. Many of them have win
dows that would do credit to large cities.
An effort is being made to secure a
pardon for Riley l'ate the youug whtle
lad who in Yancey county killed his com
panion a lad 14 years old. Pate is weak
minded and was under the influence of
liquor when he commited the crime. The
Supreme court sustained the decision of
the lower court in the appeal. Sir. Hen
dricks of Marshal is here with a strong
petition for pardon.
Collector Duncan's appointment was
n it confirmed before Congress adjourned
so he will not take charge of the ollice
until nfler the midd.e of January, or
probably the 1st of February.
Dughi. the well known caterer here
offered a handsome basket of fruit to any
one who selected a name for his new
Christmae wagon. There were 700 names
sent in, and a committee of gentlemen
decided on "The Ark" us one most ap
propriate. Miss Lily Forrcll will get the
basket.
There are to be Christmas trees in pro
fusion this year, both Sunday school
trees and private trees. The merchants
say flint the Christmas trade has not
been as good as usual owing to the low
price of cotton.
Mr, John A. McDonald a former resi
dent of Raleigh died near Ashcville, and
his body was brought here today for
burial. He is the father of Mr. C. C. Mc
Donald, here.
A government inspeetoi Mr. J. II.
Deverenx has been here lookinir into the
enndition of the Government Building
here. He found it in a bad condition
ami will so report it to the authorities at
Washington.
The weather todsy is' much warmer,
but very wet and stormy.
Tomorrow the 'Rolling Exposition
Car 'Charlotte'" will start on its 5 year
trip over the country. It Is by far hand
somer nud more complete than the Cali
fornia or Florida cat. It goes from here
to Southern Pines first, then to different
points iu the State, until in the early
summer when it ill go off on its North
ern trip. The car wili he in New Heme
during the Fair in February.
I'rofessor Lee had a class in hypnotism
here last week and graduated 24. He
charged them each (25. That amount
and his SO cents admission tickets to the
hall makes the humbug a rather pay
ing business. Two physicians and a
state official were among the number.
It is said that if the civil service regu
lations are regarded the new collector,
Duncan, will have only rive appointment
to give. Cobb of Elizabeth City, who
was defeated by Duncan, is talking loud.

All physicians agree that ihe element
of faith has a great deal to do In the cure
of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
phys'clan or Hie same confidence and
faiih in a patent medicine, have pro
duced remarkable cures in all ages.
. This is especially true iu , nervous
troubles and no Held offers so prolific a
harvest for the quack and charlatan, as
the diseases arl.lng from' a weak or run
down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases, Indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
sod loss of flesh, requires something be
sides faith to cur.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not Increase your flesh and strength,
n jour nerves and heart, but Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things,
because they are composed of the ele
ments of digestion, they contain the
juices, adds and peptone necessary to
the digestion and assimilation of all
wholesome food.
Stuart's Dvinerjsla Tablets will dleest
food If plsoed in a Jar or bottle in water
heated to 9i degrees, and they will do It
much mora effectively when taken into
the stomach alter meals, whether you
have faith tbat they will or will not.
Tbey Invlgorsto the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do It, and that
is", from plenty of wholesome food well
digested. It Is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does os good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 ovnts for full siaed pack

As a party man who has followed his
party oftener than he has led it, Presi
dent McKinley fiuds himself confronted
with Borne hard party nuts, one at least
of which must be cracked before Jan
uary 5th, when Congress reassembles.
This nut relates to the civil service, and
consists of a plain proposition submitted
to the President by somo of the leading
Republican Senators and Representatives,
which may be briefed as follows; Will
you in the exercise of your unquestioned I
authority, issue an ordei annulling all
extensions of the civil service rules made
by your predecessor, and thus save the
party in Congress from the impending
factional fight? There is not the slightest
doubt that the Republicans in the ilouse
postponed the debate on the civil service
section of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill until after the
holiday recess solely for the purpose ot
giving the President an opportunity to
take such action as would make the de
bate unnecessary.
Notwithstanding Mr. McKinley's Hut-
footed declaration in his annual message
in favor of present civil service condi
tions, many of his party expect him to do
what has been as!;cil of him: they say
that when he wrote Ids message, he did
not realize the extent of Republican
sentiment against the wholesale exten
sions of the civil service rules made by
Mr. Cleveland. Tho men who ask Mr.
McKinley to do tins, told him that if hi'
failed to do so, the light over civil ser
vice among the Republicans in both
branches of Congress would make it im
passible for the party to win in the Con
gressional election next Fall, and would
probably result in the repeal of the entire
civil service law, as the Democrats in
caucus decided that they would vote
solidly for repeal, but would not vote for
uny bill proposing modifications which
would only result in replacing Democrats
now in office, with Republicans.
Senators Teller and Wolcott led such
vigorous tight on t lie nomination of
Charles Page Bryan to be Minister
China, that his nomination, altliouirh
made out, was not sent to the Senate
Exactly why the Colorado Senators made
this fight is uncertain: they say that
Bryan has neither the judgment nor the
experience to till such an important posi
tion. Brvnn'a nomination is credited to
Illinois, but Senators Cullom and Mason,
while not opposing him, are not doing
anything to help him.
Just before the Senate adjourned for
the Christmas recess, the following reso
lutions were adopted: One by Senator
Cullom. directing the heads of the exe
cutive departments, to inform the Senate
what modifications should be made in
the civil service rules, one by Senator
Piatt of Connecticut, calling upon lb
Secretary of the Interior for the status of
the frcednien in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw Nations, in the Indian Teiritory
one by Senator Allen, directine the Post
master General to send the Senate copies
of all steamship mail contracts now in
force: one bv Senator White, asking the
President what action had been taken
behalf of two Califormans, held as pris
oners in the Republic Colombia, and one
by Senator Kyle, calling upon the Secic
tary of State for all correspondence with
Haiti relating to Bernard Campbell.
Official notice hs been given of the
abandonment of the New Ycai's Day
reception at tho White House, anil of
the usual diplomatic brenkfact given on
the same day by the Secretary.
