Raleigh, Oot 8. Mfea Fannie Heck U
elected president, Mrs 0 U Buttle, vice
president and Mrs J YJoyner, secretary
of tbe Woman's Club organized here
last afternoon with oysr two hundred
members. Departments of literature,
music, ait, domestio science. Tillage Im
provement and charities ate established
with a chsiraan for each. It was point
ed oat durlug the meeting that In Rich
mond the art department secures a fine
exhibit each year end insures the pic
tures for $80,000 and an effort is to be
made to have such an exhibit in Raleigh
next year.
It is announced that the Centenlal
Graded School will reopen today after
having beeniipeed yesterday until fur-
thtr notice on account of diphtheria on
the pi em 1368. The janitoi's wife fell
1)1 of tbe dreaded milady yesterday.
Only two casos of diphtheria are now In
Ralelgb, but theie has-been for some
weeks a regular epidemic of it la Qolds
boro and near by towns so that there Is
considerable uneasiness felt here as to
the situation.
A charter Is issued today for the Wash
Ington Gin Co , of Washington, Besa-
foit county, the civilisl being $' 00,000
authorized n1 $8,000 subscribed b?
William Bragaw, H B Kaho and otherj.

tbe heirs are now entitled to reposes-
slon of the property which H now
valued at over a million dollars. A H

Commissioner Patterson Is not able
by reason of 111 health to take any part
In the campaign, his physicians Insist
log that he must not do so. However
he expects to join Governor Aycock at

to make any speeches.
VOICfi OF THE PEOPLE.
Intended for Ornamental Ordinance.
HtBdltor.
Will yon allow me the space lit your
valuable paper to express the sentiments
of tome ef our citizens In regard to the
dog ordinance which was passed by the
board of Aldermen at their meeting, but
whloh hat been held from publication,
because some of tbe sldermen claim that
It was Irregularly pasaed.
1, as an interested party, have en
quired as to the regularity of tie pas
sage of the ordinance and And .that the
passage was perfectly regular, A num
ber of our citizens think that tne ordi
nance as framed, is unconstitutional,
but It Is not, iFromthe standpoint or
Its constitutionality, the ordinance is
pe-fectly valid. It has long been the
comment of not only the citizens of our
town, about the doga of the city being
avowed to run at large, but also of the
traveling public. It is true that It looks
hard for the owner of a Pug or other
dog of that size to keep them muzzled
or at home, but It is no more than fair
that they should be made to keep them
home, if the owner of a bull or New
foundland should have to keep his dog
muszltd or in confinement. Some peo
ple claim that there is no danger in a
small dog, but for an example, I wish
to call the attention of the public to the
time when MrWPM Bryan's little boy
was bitten by a small dog on East
Front street. This dog was, as I have
learned.no larger than a Pug. You
can go to other Hies, and you will not
see dogs running at large,
It Is a nuisance' and one which has
existed in this city a number of years,
and a stop should be put to it. I think
that I can truly say that the mejority
of the citizens will agree with me, in
asking tost the Board consider tbe dan
ger of dogs running at large, and In ask
ing them to pass an ordinance to pro
hibit all dogs from running at large. 1
am informed that the city of Wllmlng
ton has very strict and just laws about
dogs and why can't our board adopt
ome.'lf not all of their ordinances f
Yours truly,
A CITIZEN.
Nothing Serious.
Einston Free Press 8th.
The report that diphtheria is preva
lent in the city Is ' extggerated and a
good many are needlessly alarmed
While the situation is one to call for
care and precaution It is certainly not
alarming.
The death of two ohlldren, Mr Ed
Toil's and Mrs Laura Brewer's lut
evening, are the cause of the alarm, but
It is stated emphatically by tbe physi
ans attending Mrs Brewer's child that
tbe cause of death was not diphtheria.

Cost otWar to Japan.
Tokfo. Oot 8 la addressing the mem
bers of the United Clearing House of
Toklo today, Count Okuma, the leader
of the progressive psrly, warned tbe
people to prepare for a long war, the
date of the termination of which it was
now impose i'ole to foretell. He predict
ed that the cost to Japan for a two years
war. Including the loans which bad been
already placed and the expenses conse
quent upon the war at Its termination,
would total one billion dollars, which
would make the per capita share amount
to twenty dollars.
Despite her weaknesses, Couot Oku-
a said Russia possessed lmmtnse re-
rsources and had tremendous advtatsges
in the size of her population and the
greatness of her wealth and it would be
necessary for the Japanese to make
many sacrifices In order to attii i sue
ceia. He predicted that the war would
cost Russia from one and a half to two
billion dollars and said that It woo Id be
impossible to raise loans or to Increase
taxes In Russia because the limit had
been reached.
1 he count predloted that it would be
necessary for the Japanese government
to borrow $230,000,000 next year and
added tha If $75,000,000 ware secured
abroad, the country must face a depre
elation In the value of its securities,
Count Okuma urged the nation to
carefully husband its strength and re
sources and expressed the fullest confi
deuce In the ultimate victory of Japan
ese arms.
J 0 C Club Entertained.
Miss Myrtle Dlsosway was the charm
ing hostess at a "Book Party" given at
her home last Friday evening, tbe occa
sion being the entertainment of ti.e J O
Club.
Ml a Fannlj Green won the prize,
which was a paarl ttlck pin, for guess
ing the greate-'t number of the titles of
books represe' ted.
Refreshments were torveil at the close
of the evening.
"For Her Children's Sake."
Theo Kremer's play, "For Her Chll
dren'a Sake" was presented at the new
opera house here last night. The plot
of the play was a good one, and al
though the house was a frosted one the
antlna- was well done throughout and
the audience was well pleased.
As Edna, Parson Klngley's daughter,
Miss Helena Collier took the Reading
nart and her acting was Just as natural
life Itself.
Nina, the rector's housekeeper, was all
rhrht. but not unite German enough for
the character she took.
Bobby and Rosy, the children, were
the great features of the play, and when
Bobby shot his tyrant stepfather, defend
lnr hla mother from the ruffian's vio
lence, the scene was very Impressive.
Both ohlldren did their parts well,
aad altogether the play was a pretty
good oae.
Tbe cause of tbe slim house Is attrlbu
ted to the failure of Happy Hooligan to
come up to expectations, bat the most
probable cause Is the high price of tbe
seats.
Tbe first two nights the new opera
house as a novelty attracted a crowa.
Since then the house has been growing
smaller. Popular prices would draw a
larger crowd and tbe management will
bo doubt reduce tnem in the fntite.

WOMEN CAN KEEP YOUNG
Ohio Woman Tells Tbe Secret. May
Explain Youthful Looks of
Some In New Bern.
The old saying that a woman is ss old
as she looks, can scarcely be gain-sail
There are many women of 60 who do
not look over thirty and some of third
who look fully fifty, the difference be
ing ceased by sickness. The wrinkles,
the drawn lines of suffering, the emacla
tloc, nine times out of ten come from a
weakened or disordered slomsoh.
Mrs Anna Patton, 84 Charles Street,
Xenls, Ohio; In a recent interview, tells
the secret of bow to grow young, "Al
though I am over sixty, I am tbe same
womsa that I was a year ago. Then 1
suffered with my Lead all the time, had
so much gas on my stomach (bat 1
could hardly endure it and was always
troubled with a bad taste In my mouth
and a coated lengue and wai so bloated
that at times I could not fasten mj
clothes, I was unable to do my work
but now after taking one box of Ml-o-
na, nature's cure for dyspepsls, I am a
well woman and can do my work as
well at ever."
F 8 Duffy has the local agency for
Ml-o-na and has sold a great deal of
this remedy at 80j a box. He hears so
many Words of praise for tbe prepara
tion that Its use quite likely explains
tbe yoathful looks of New Bern women.
Begin its use today with F 8 Duffy's
promise that he will pay for It If It does
not cure you.
