SAYS SUNFLSH SWIM IN
NEW CASTLE CELLARS

the consideration OF the new dog ordin-
ance. The one existing last-year is still on
the books but not enforced. The new ordi-
nance raises the registration fee. The real
fight over the thing is that the city clerk
gets fee for each dog. But the clerk
is a property owner and pays his taxes
and cares nothing whether the ordinance
is PASSED or not. He will be succeeded
by another clerk by the next Council and
that fellow can get the fees. An unreg-
istered dog is lot private property and it
can be stolen especially II it is a good
rabbit dog. When registered 1t is per-
sonal property and it is a workhouse job
to purloin a bow-wow. When the bill Of
Officer Tobin for 50 came up Council
turned il down because Magistrate Terry
sent up the prisoners.
Tax Collector Leach broke the record
for collections by turning in over $4,000
That is pretty good collecting in bad
times in New Castle.
Mr. and Mrs. Simonson are now occu-
pying the Herbert mansion. An effort Il
being made to establish a branch Of th'

HITCHCOCK PLEASED
WITH VERMONT VOTE

CHICAGO. Sept 2-Chairman Hitch-
cock, Of the Republican National Com
mittte. expressed qualification over the
result Of the Vermont election and said
that in his opinion is presaged Republi-
can success at the polls in November.
He called attention to the fact that the
plurality to-day was about 5000 less
than in the election four years ago.
when Roosevelt was elected, while the
total vote was reported to be eight per
cent. smaller.
This, he declared would make the
Republican plurality approximately the
same as that four years ago. In view
OF the reputation which the Vermont
elections have as indicators of the
probable outcome Of The Presidential
elections, he said. the result should be
highly pleasing to Republicans every
where. ,i-..-.s

JOHN M. DORNEf:';'..;
IS ENDORSED
FOR CONGRESS

The Central Labor Union adopted this
resolution last night;
Wilmington. Del, Sept. LIST. 1s0S..
Whereas, The American Federation OF
Labor has issued a call to all Ameri-
cans, particularly to men who have
brains and courage enough 10 act with
organized labor. to the effect that II is
absolutely necessary that the people, in
the person of organized labor, shall be
represented in the next Congress by at
least 100 men, whose record and life
prove they are with and for the people;
and SEQ
Whereas. the Democratic Party is the
minority party in Delaware.
Therefore, be It resolved, by members
OF organized labor, that we urge on the
managers of the Democratic Party OF
Delaware to place in nomination for Con-
gress from Delaware, John M. Dorney
of Wilmington.
John M. Dorney's life and record has
proven that he stands for true Democ-
racy for the people. The membership in
general can certify to John M. Dorney's'
honor, sobriety force and extreme
learnestness and ability, and If his party
refuses to put him on its ticket, we
respectfully urge that he become an in
dependent candidate for Congress, that
the people may have a chance TO elect a
man who represents their interest and

CHAIR

That is the astounding statement
made here to-day by Peter J. Gibbons
following the resuscita..on Of a laborer
supposedly killed by electricity in a
city manhole. DR.. Gibbons is petl.

contention, DR. Gibbons cites the case
Of a negro murderer. TAYLOR. whom
he says. came 70 life in Auburn prison
after he had been killed by electricity
/ In the death chair.

secret for years. and It is only recent,
that it has been published in officia

It is with the view Of aiding medica

NIGHT NURSE
Kept in Perfect Trim by Right Food.

Nursing the sick is often very bur
densome to the nurse --- s'5.,- e
Night nursing is liable TO be even
more exhausting from the fact that the
demands Of the system for sleep arc
more urgent during the night hours
A Va lady called on to act as night
nurse in the family, found the greatest
support from the use of Grape Nuts
food. She says; ts- ~
"Our acquaintance with Grape-N Nuts
began eight years ago. We bought the.
first package sold in this place. and al
though we began as skeptics we became
converts to its striking food value.
Il used Grape-Nuts first, to sustain
me when doing night nursing for a
member OF the family. / ate a tea
spoonful at a time and by slowly chew
ing 1t was able to keep awake and
felt no fatigue.
"Soon grew to like Grape Nuts very
much and after our patient recovered
was surprised TO find that was not
at all worn out" on account OF broken
rest My nerves were strong and steady
and my digestion fine. This was the
more surprising because I had always
suffered with weak nerves and ihdi-

In one allegation IL is pointed out
that. at a time when there should have
been III prisoners in jail, for whom
the county was paying thirty cents
day board, witnesses went into the
prison and found but seven prisoners.
The committee has collected volume
Of testimony Much Of this testimony
is furnished by tramps. Il is said, but
there is other evidence adduced from
citizens and ascertained by the COM

It is believed that there is no poll

committeeman. a majority Of the court,
and the attorney for the court, as well
as the accused, are Republicans.
The Democrats. though, are trying
to get much capital out Of what has
resulted from the determination of

most gunners agreed that the birds were
in quite good condition and plentiful. A

the benefit Of their alertness. The absence
OF wind made the birds fy high, however,
and the gunners had to allow for big
lead in shooting at the reedies
In Southern New Jersey the reeds were

What Games Today
May Bring Forth

The loss OF one or two games IN the
American League at the present stage
means much 10 the merry chasers for
the pennant
Chicago defeated the Browns yester-
day and took second place. Detroit
beat Cleveland. however, and Jennings
men are again safe for the time so far
as the lead is concerned
The Giants WI play two games at
Boston today In case of the worst It
may mean drop TO third position Chi
cago in that event would have a chance
10 tie Pittsburg for the lead.
The nerve-racking race in the Ma
uonal League continues with all It's har-
rowing possibilities. The Giants we're
idle yesterday on account Of rain. while
the Pirates were trimming the Reds and
the Jubs were lacing the Cardinals.
Plttsburg IS now as close to New
York as is possible, having won two
g1mes more and lost two more than
hive the Giants. Chicago is but two
games behind the leaders. while PhiIa-
deiphla. coming fast in the stretch. is
less than four games behind the world S
champions
