CONTEST OVER A LICENSE
A Hearing Given Mr.. DeIahay
Consumed Two HOarS.
MRS. SPENCER FILED CHARGES
The Accusations Were All Denied.
Attorney Lp>comb Indulged in
Mrs. Spencer-Sales To Children
Alleged d-Testimony Introduced.

The consideration given yesterday after
hoon by the excise board TO the evidence
and arguments FOR and against a renewal
OF the barroom license to George Delahay,
at No. sol d street northwest, noted in The
Evening Times, took wide range and
consumed over two hours OF time. The
applicant was represented toy Attorney A.
a. Lipscomb, and the opponents by At
torney Shoe maker, of the Anti-Saloo
League. Several hearings have been given
in the case heretofore.
Mr.. LipScomb took the position at the
opening Of the proceedings that his client
came before the board with clear police
record, with nothing charged against him
by the excise board inspector; that no ar
rests had ever been made in his place;
that he had filed q paper bearing the
signatures of twenty-four business men and
residents in the neiGhborhood OF, the sa-
loon, who testified TO the good character
OF the place, and that the burden OF proof
should be upon the opposition.
Inthe course OF hiS final Summin up. Mr.
Lipscomb, with becoming respect, char
acterized the statements Of Mrs Sara
Spencer, the principal ohjector, as vision
airy, and that in her zeal in the cause she
had persuaded herself to believe as real
things which could not possibly be true
To this Mrs. Spencer retorted that the
attorney for Mr.. Delahay. in his zeal for
his client, had made statements concern
ing her which were Of purely imaginary
character, having no foundation in fact.
Sull, with display Of gaIlantry, Mr..
Lpseonlb remarked:
IF 1 equal you in the creation Of
imagery, madam. l may be classed as a
Shakespeare, indeed"
In brief. the charges against Mr.. De-
lahay were that he had sold intoXicants
to minors and to persons already intoxi-
Gated, and had violated the Sunday law.
These charges had been filed under oath
10y Mrs. Spencer, and also. in part, 10y
Miss Boice and her brother the latter
two having residence in the building
where the saloon in located.
Several witnesses were examined all
under OATH who testified for Mr.. Delahay
Mrs. williams, who lives near by. said
she had not known OF any violations. This
was duplicated by William j. MuHn,
Richard o. Lewis and James W Tyler
Mr- George J. johnson stated that in a
conversation with Miss Bcice, subsequent
10 the filing OF her affidavit, the lady
had denied having made ans Charges
against the saloon, and this was urged by
Mr.. Lipscomb 20 offset Miss Boice's testi-
mony.
To fefute the insinuatiun that she
could not get good view Of tie interior
OF Delahay's baT, as alleged IN her affi-
davit, Mrs. Spencer introduced Mrs Hath
orn and Evan T. Massey, the former a
visitor, the latter student, who made
observations from tie same windows Of
tie college building ana corrobordted her
statements as 10 what had been noticed
from that point of observation.

MISSING PEOPLE.
The Great Mystery Which Surrounds Their
Disappearance and What Be-
comes Of Them.

COIllcS VI lHSIns
Scarcely q day passes that we a.
not read in the newspapers OF some man
or woman who is reported missing and
in the majority OF cases these peOpla
forsake happy homes without any earth
ly reason, for doing so and their fate
often becomes mystery"
The cause of these disappearance
has excited widespread discussion Of
late, and some of our best nOvelists
have founded thrilling rOmances on this
strange subject. But no one has yet
been able to find an answer to the ques-
ton, =. Aat becomes OF these missing
peoplc?'
perhaps the best explanation OF the
mystery may be found in the words Of
New York physician who is n keen OBJ
server. According to his theory. these
people are sufferers from various dis
astrous malades from which they gain
no relief. Their surroundings event
ually become unbearable to them. In
their diseased imag.nations they fancy
everybody is an enemy although SUP

come wanderers on the face OF the earth

bic fate. Even those who fancy them-
selves strong, well and mentally sound

spairing. The seriousness Of these facts
should cause every man aud woman 10
stop. consider and see il he or she Il
really well. There are so many dread
full diseases that come upon the system
unaware, that show no symptoms but
ruin the life even before we know L.
The worst Of all troubles Of this kind a.
rises from uric acid poison, which. being
in the bloed. not only causes rhpuma-
tism. neuralgia and govt. but often az
fects the mind or the vital organs. Now,
the cause OF uric acid in the system on
in the blood is because the kidneys are
either too weak or too diseased to throw
it from tire system. When the uric acid
is not discharged it remains in the blood,
poisons the body and often the mind
and cruises disease and too frequently
