only part of the large earnings have been
applied to dividends The answer of the de-
PENDANTS is that there was justification for

whereabouts all day Monday. Proctor is
anxious that the case shall be Investigated
without delay. Unless 1t Is heard at this

in Jail at Upper Marlboro until the October

the case settled as soon as possible.
Mrs. Spencer, who was Miss Minnie
Blandford before her marriage, Is subject
to fainting spells. and these spells are
severe at times. She related yesterday aft
ernoon how the exciting scene of Monday
had appeared to her In her dreams. Three
successive nights she had horrible dreams,
and Sunday night her husband had SINH
lar experience. Monday morning the hus-
band said he thought he would remain at
home, but his wife thought there was no
reason for him to remain, and so he went
to his work at the steel plant as usual.
Despite the anticipation of trouble MRS.
Spencer took no extra precaution MONDAY
but was about the house alone most OF the
day. About noon she returned from the
house of a colored neighbor and entered
the front door, turning the Key a1ter sne

man was secreted in the stable at that
time, for Mrs Spencer had hardly had
time to pass through the one room pefore
she heard the knob Of the door turn. Pass
ing through to the room that Is used as
dining room and kitchen she picked up

Man at the Door.
"And when / opened the door, she said'
there l saw colored man standing with
the horse blanket raised. At first l thought
he was a white man, but soon saw enough
of his face to tell that he was mulatto
His hair was not real kinky."
Mrs Spencer then stated that the man
threw the blanket over her head and thr NV
her upon the kitchen floor. tIe said prac-
tically nothing to her, and the two en-
gagged in a desperate struggle. She finally
succeeded in frightening him off by pretend
ing her husband was upstairs and calling for
him. There was a table knife where her
assailant could reach it. He got the knde
and, she thinks, he attempted to Kill her
with it,
II felt the cold blade of the knife agalrst

ing to be killed. but 1 trusted in God and

Excellent Recipe
Cures Indigestion

Go to any well-stocked prescription
druggist and get two ounces Essence
Of Pepsin; three ounces Syrup of
Ginger; one ounce Catandir Com
pound; mix these we'll and use in
doses of from one to two teaspoon
fuls after each meal and also at bed
time If constipated. This formula
was recently given out by one of the
most prominent metropolitan physi-
clans, who declares that il has no
equal for the cure of indigestion, dys-
pepsia and all forms of stomach dis
orders such as bloating, belching,
sourness, etc A well-known local
druggist, in speaking OF this for
mula, stated that it is prescribed by
the most up-to-date physicians.
Catandir Compound being a compar-
atively new product, many of the
old-style doctors are not familiar
with it. He also says that it's action
on digestion of foods and restoring
the stomach to its normal condition
is truly remarkable, and that il is
constantly being commented on by
the medical and drug journals.
