of the fire department, was severely
beaten. The pesthouse at 10 o'clock at
night was surrounded by an angry
crowd, who threatened to burn it be-
fore morning.
The trouble began Saturday morn
ing when the health hoard commenced
the erection Of the building, and the
mayor, at the behest of citizens living
in the vicinity. ordered the police to
tear the structure down. The mayor
finally decided he had no jurisdiction,
and the work went on. Work was con

the day, and at o'clock an angry

BOLD SCHEME BLOCKED.
Wilmington Figures in an Ingenious
Gold Brick SWindled.

Circumstances which have recently
come to light Indicate that Wilmington
and West Chester, Pa, have been iisur-
ing of late in an ingenious gold brick
swindlc. But as George Howard, who is
believed to have taken a prominent part
in the swindling game is now under ar
rest in New York. it seems likely that
the crooked transactions have been
brought to an end.
Chief Massey, few days ago, re-
ceived a letter from the chief constable
of the Isle of Man asking him to trace
he history of family named Darling
ton, supposed to live near this city, and
referred to letters received by a large
land owner, one from Toronto, Ontario,
and the other from Tia .Juana, Mexico,
which are said to contain astonishing in
formation of a private nature.
The information of private nature Is
believed to refer to "A bogus gold mine
discovery. Chief Massey believes that
the letters are part of the New York
scheme.
A. J. Andrew, an Englishman. told
Commissioner Shields, OF New York,
recently, how he came to this country to
investigate the story of n gold mine dis
covcry and his vain search for George

In the Spring You Are Always
a. Run Down.
This win Tell You Just What To
Do For Yourself.
And Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs To
think about taking a spring medicine.
Not only is this common practice, but
a very necessary and healthful one. II
is fact which physicians acknowledge
and the people recognize generally,
that spring tonic taken during the
months Of March, April and May is
more conducive to the restoration of
health, in cases of those who are sick,
than any other course Of treatment that
could possibly be adopted. 33'@ 'g
In the spring there are a great many
and important changes going on in the
body. Perfect health cannot be main
tanned while the system is clogged and
the organs sluggish, and the person has
a languid aud weakened feeling, with
more or less nervousness and debility.
Therefore everybody should take a
good spring remedy.
The best spring medicine, Endorsed
and recommended by physicians, drug
gists and the people, is DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. In
proof of this, thousands of testimonials

Oh, those nerves of ours, how they dc

the complaint everywhere. We over
work, dissipate, weaken our bodies
ruin our health, and finally break
down. Sleeplessness and indigestion
are early symptoms, for the nerves are
too exhausted and irritable to permit
rest, and the stomach too weak tc
digest food.
1t is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired, and the
arm nerveless, the limbs trembling

It is loss Of nerve and vital power

Beware Of such symptoms I! A well

MONDAY. MARCHAII. 1901.

The Regular Republicans, as
they are styled, appear to be great
ly rejoiced over the successful ei-
fort to prevent the election of two
L. S. Senators, being entirely re-
gardless of the liability that the
act may defeat the party at the next
election and enable the Democrats
to control the Legislature. Every
true Republican will certainly re-
greet such control and the Repre-
sentatives who contributed to such
a result will be severely censured
by every man honestly opposed to
Democratic ascendency in our
State. 1t is currently reported,
however. that more than one Regu-
lar Republican declared that he
preferred the success OF the Demo-
cratic party to the election of Ad-
dicks to the Senate. This state.
ment seems borne out by the TACT
hat the Regulars, as they are
st led, were willing to enter into
al agreement with the Democrats
to elect John Bigss and Colonel du-
Pout to the U. S. Senate, and we're
only prevented making such bar
gain by the supporters OF Senator
kenney refusing 10 be parties to the
scheme. Besides when the result
OF the final ballot was announced
aud the convention deco to ad-
iourn, the Regulars united with the
Democrats in cheering the failure
to elect two Republicans to the u.
S Senate. 1t was this cheering
that provoked Senator Groves to
call Representative Chandler a
traitor, andD the saida Representa-
tive will trd that big ma iority OF
Republicans in White Clay Creek,
will agree with Mr.. Groves, if we
are not greatly mistaken. Those
cheers may prove the death oil their
political life and fortune. The
Democrats may rejoice at the pro-
spectlve benefit that may eunure to
their party BY keeping the Rcpub-
llcans divided, but true Republic
cans must all regret the widening
OF the breach instead of closing it.
1t row looks as though these saint
like Reg ulars are ready to act with
the Democrats on certain contin-
gencies and thus make Republican
success impossible Ii is folly TO
expect the great ma iority to bow to
the will OF the minority and it is
greater folly to expect the Republl.
cans to elect their candidates with
out they unite. The Democrats
are Fortunate in having such as
sistaEts as knoy, Ellison. Clark.
Finn, Chandler. pilling and Hods-
sou, who have given them an oppor-
tunity to make the State perma.
nently Democratlcf four years hence.
They will find that they who SOW
to the wind will reap the whlrl-
wind. They will certainly feel the
mistake they have made when they
realize that treason to their party
insures sharp punishment.
