a woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to pre-
vent any dangerous consequence
from it. She says: sour three chill
dren took whooping cough last sum-
mer, our baby boy being only three
months old, and owing to our giving
them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
they lost none of their plumpness
and came out in much better health
than other children whose parents
did not use this remedy. Our oldest

brick block to be erected upon their
lots upon which the present X. of p.

secured provide for store rooms on the
ground floor, two lodge rooms, ante

SAND CREEK
ON A TEAR
Cloudburst this Afternoon
Causes a Flood.
Cellars Flooded and Considerable
Damage Done. Bridges Stood
the Test. Flood was Un-
expected as Shower was
Light Here.

The worst food this city hsa exper-
fenced in ten years occurred this after
noon when a cloudburst to the south
caused Sand creek to become raging
torrent sweeping everything before it.
The shower here in town was not
such as to suggest storm, but about
the time the rain ceased falling the
roar of Sand creek could be heard and
soon the bauks were thronged with aw-
ed spectators.
The steel work of the Second street
bridge caught and held logs, heavy
timbers and other debris forming II
dam. This caused the water to rise
rapidly about the Davie terrace and in
short time the doors and windows of
the basement We're forced in and the
rooms deluged. Everything in the
basement was either washed away or
ruined by the flood. The Sweets, oc-
cupying the north side of the terrace
also lost lot of chickens E. f.
Brown occupies the south side. What
their loss will be is not yet estimated.
Mrs. Frink's boarding house at the
Second street bridge had its basement
flooded. Below Sixth street the floors
of several houses were inundated, and
many chickens were lost. AS far up
as Tom Blunt's house the water ran in
to the basement but there no damage
was done. At least foot of water
covered the floor of Mail Carrier Will
let's house on Petroleum. At the
end of Petroleum the water covered
the Santa Fe tracks, but no damage
was done. At least two blocks were
covered by. the flood on Pixies Peak
avenue. 1t is impossible to deter.

OKLAHOMA BILL
STILL MISSING
Chief of Police Say he Was
Undoubtedly Murdered.
Had Considerable Money on His
Person When he Walked out
Back Door of Restaurant
and Disappeared.

Some time ago William Richardson
of this city, better known as okla
homa Bill, - sold farm which he in
herited in the east, realizing ON the
sale - 900. Bill couldn't { stand pros
perity such as that without celebrat-
ing, so he looked upon the wine when
1t was red in the cup. He became in
toxicated and while in that state he
went to Pueblo and purchased a res
taurant. He had money left and he
took great pride in showing it. Sew
eral hundred dollar gold pieces and
roll of the green was what he flashed
ON several occasions, and finally one
night, about a week ago, he stepped
out the back door of his restaurant
and that is the last that has been seen
of him. The police of Pueblo have
been working diligently on the myst-
cry, and they have now arrived at the
conclusion that he was murdered and
his body thrown into the river.
Today Mr.. and Mrs. ]. J. Smith
the latter being the only child of the
missing man, went to Pueblo to make
some disposition of the restaurant and
to assist, if possible, in continuing
the search.

PENN PARK
SHUT OUT.

It took the Wilmington A. A.
team but one hour and three min
utes to shut out the Penn Park
team at South Side Park yesterday
afternoon by the score of 5 to 0.
This was principally due to the
great pitching of young Everson.
Bert allowed only two hits and
but 81 men faced him during the
entire game. But one man got past
third base and was Hess in the
sixth inning.
Hess started to steal and Barton
threw to second but Kuhn missed
the throw and the runner went to
third.
Outside of Kuhn's error and an
excuseable one by Deal, Everson
was given good support.
The features Of the game were a
catch of line drive by Maxwell
from Oniel's bat and Tate's catch of
long fly from Jones bat.
Hess was in the box for Penn
Park. He pitched fairly good
game but four errors by Claycomb
and one by Jones gave the A. A.
four of their five runs.
In the second inning the home
team scored three runs on singles
by Tate, Barton, Everson and Au-
brey and Claycomb's error. One
run was scored III each of the sev-
euth and eighth innings.
Hartley made his first appearance
and was given a glad hand when he
went out on the field and each time
that he went to the bat. While
"Chic" did not get one safe he hit
the ball three times and the last
time up got free pass. In the
field he had but one chance which
he accepted after a long run.

MARCUS HOOK.

Marcus Hook is TO have another
industry. The old Pioneer Iron
Works tract, located along the river
front, east of Market street in the
borough, has been leased by the
Barr Pumping Engine Company.
and it is expected that operations
at the new plant will commence on
Friday morning next. Quite large
number OF men will be given EN-.
ploymeut at the new works and this
fact is heartily welcomed BY the
residents.
McLaug hin Brothers, well-known
In the manufacturing world, are at
the head OF the concern. At present
their works are located at German
town Junction, the offices OF the com
pany are located on South Seven-
teenth street, Philadelphia. For
some time The firm has been looking

Riggs stool by Kenney in the hour
of need and now lie is to be repaid for
Kenney has hold Of the Sussex and
Kent Democrats.
A dispatch from Dover says:
The runor Of the KenDey.Biggs
combine gained much ground about
Dover and some anxious workers be-
sieged both the offices Of State Sena-
tor Alice, the Union Republican
chairman, and of Mr.. kenney, who
had returned to his offices for the
week from Rehoboth.
The present disagrseable fight be-
tween the Democrats Of the Third Ga
Democratic) district over the legisa-
tive candidates was mentioned in the
rumor, OF an example. 1t was alleg-
cd that the Salisbury men there,
fearing that Lawyer VIM. L.Gooding
had been brought into the race at the
eleventh hour to capture half OF the
delegation on Biggs-kenney deal,
were standing out for the nominal
ton Of George Cook, hence the divl-
sion.
At Republican headquarters the
Democratic disturbance was set down
as \ fact.
Mr.. Kenuey had nothing to say
concerning the alleged deal for pub
lcation, although TO a friend the
former senator branded the rumor as
utterly ridiculous and stated that one
glance at the ticket nominated by the
Democrats of Kent county was
enough to convince any man acq uain-
ted with the politics Of Kent Of the
absurdity Of the report.
~ lie was, Lo said, struck with the
|stflter absurdity of the report that he
tolld ever have dumped any body
whom the Democrats of Delaware re.
aided as a probable United States
Senator, Or that he was in any posi-
tion to do any dumping.
Later In the day, Mr.. kenney Is re-
ported to have said to numerous
friends that he recognized, as did all
Democrats the strong position Mr..
Salisbury holds in the Demncr attic
party Of Delaware from Brandywinc
to Baltimore. and that the state
chairman stood pre.eminent among
Delaware Democrats.
Republicans here In Wilmington
say "False Alarm" The Republi-
cans are united and the Democrats
will have no apple to split In two.
They can rest contented that their
work is useless with a u nited party.

referred to the law Committee, which
later reported (avorably and the
recommendation was adopted.
The heat, fuel and ventilation
committee was uthorlzed 10 adver
tlse for bids for soft coal TO be uScl
10 the different schools
Soft coal was recommended ol
account of the high price of hard
coal. II the coal strike is over sool
and the price of hard coal falls, then
it will substituted.
Mr.. Bauyh suggested that all coal
be weighed before it is received by
the board by public weighmaster.
DR.. Frantz said such plan would
cost 25 cents a load. He thought u
man could be secured to weigh coal
at the yards,
Mr.. Fraim thought the coal
should be weighed by a regularly
appointed weighmaster.
Mr. Brown also wanted slip for
each load left with the janitor of
each school so il will be known
how many loals are delivered,
DR.. Frantz said that when he be-
came chairman of this committee
he received no data to tell him how
much coal was needed. There
ought to be a well defined system.
The next chairman will have some-
thing to go by.
1t was decided to have the coal
weighed.
Bids fer wood were received as
follows: H. T. Sergeant, $5.4s per
cord; William Fl. German & Com
pany, s4.65per cord or 1915 accord
ing to quality. The bids were re-
ferred to the heat, fuel and venti-
latiDg committee with power to act.
An application from Elwood Stout
Jr., for a position as janitor was

ton from Maggie N. Elias for po-
sition as principal of No. rs school
