The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath

contract. expand. and squeeze the Diges-

They don't help the Bowels and Liver In
such way as to make them lean upon

ChiSe on East Fourth ST.

Asserting that by its failure to utilize
its franchise for trackage on Fourth
street east from Spruce for is years
the wilmington City Railway Company
had forfeited the grant General Man
ager Richard Crook Of the Peoples
Railway Company. before the street
and Sewer Directors. this morning re-
asserted the worth Of the request he
had made al q previous meeting for a
grant 10 run the company's tracks from
Church street down Fourth street 20
the steamboat wharf Tracks Of the
Wilmington City Railway Company
were run down 70 the wharf during
the summer. and the city solicitor last
week in an opinion to the directors
asserted that Mr. Crooks request could
not be favored, as a statute prohibits
the placing Of tracks Of competitive
railway companies on the same street.
In reply 10 this Nr Crooks this
morning had this 70 say
our friends had not operated tracks
on that section for IS years until re-
Gently. and VIC now contend that they
have forfeited their rights there There
is room enough FOR half q dozen tracks
there and as we carried 10000 people
from the steamboats, this summer we
have asked tse right 70 81 down Fourth
street from Church TO accommodate
the neople as wen as ourselves. Pos
sibly the city collector overlooked the
matter of forfeiture when he gave his
opinion
The information that the City Rail-
way Company had not operated the
tracks on East Fourth street from
Spruce for IS years and that the com
pany had. indeed. torn up its tracks
there years ago. caused no little sur
prise among the directors, and tina,

way Company may be endangered as a
result Mr.. Crook was advised 10 have
his cCmpanys attorneys. Hilles and
Richardson. consult with the city So
licitor. as TO the true phase OF the
situation. should it be declared that
the City Railway Company has for
feited its franchise from Spruce street

rectors could Gust the company and

GRAND JURY MAKING
AN INVESTIGATION

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
LEINGToN. Ky oct 6.-Bound

students wills E. Smith. freshman Of
Kentucky state College. has disappeared
and to-day the Grand Jury is preparing TO
probe what may be a CHASTITY mystery and
police and railroad men all over this sec
ton are working desperately TO ascertain
his fate.
Smith disappeared two weeks ago Not
word has come from him since that time
II he is stil in the box car in which he
was placed by sophomores Of his college
he has died a terrible death.
DESPITE half-hearted denials Of the haz
Ing episode by the students and faculty
Of the Kentucky college the general
belief here is that Smith who was
delicate Young fellow of twenty has per
lshed as the result Of the hazing and when
the Fayette county grand jury oonvenes
every member of the sophomore and fresh
nan-elasses will be examined under oath
as well as number Of townsmen and
boys who are declared TO have heard the
students discussing the probably tragic
end Of their prank.
Disappeared N Two Days.
Young smith arrived at college only two
days before he disappeared He came to
live with another brother.-I- Z. Smith who
has been a student here for two years. On
the night he vanished he gave his brother
500 and his gold watch remarking that
he was going 10 the college campus TO see
ths rough house between the soDhs and
freshmen and though the students de-
clare that he did not appear among them
there Is little 6gubt entertained that the
story told by a small boy witness of the
students fate is the true one.
To the detectives vino are working on
the case this hoy said that Smith had been
caught at the University entrance early
in the evening and then taken across the
blazing city dump 10 the Queen and

was securely bound and gagged and. I

Of Smith has been found. II he is stil ir

tain that he died in agony.
Bound BY Secrecy.
When the hazing students found Smith
vas gone they are said 10 have been seized
with panic and later bound themselves by
