LOCAL OPTION FOR
RURAL NEW CASTLE
AFTER LONG DISCUSSION
BILL PASSED THE HOUSE.
Friends of the Measure Held that
Amendments Were Intended to
Make it Unconstitutional.

Following a long debate during
which the unsuccessful attempt was
made to tack on amendments, the
House at noon Wednesday passed the
House bill resubmitting the license
question to voters of rural New
Castle County, and not a vote was
cast in opposition to the measure,
though two members voted under pro-
test, one refused to vote and three
others were absent when the roll was
called The bill received Is affirma-
tive votes. The bill now goes to the
Senate, and if similar action is taken
by that body, it means that rural
New Castle voters again will vote on
license at the election in 1910. The
action on the bill was attended by far
more excitement than has marked
any session of the present General
Assembly, and time and again
Speaker Cooper was forced to rap for
order, finally threatening to clear the
House. In the gallery there was a
large gathering of "drys," and they
did not fail to applaud vigorously
when a point was scored in their
favor. Good forgive me" ex-
claimed Colonel A. L. Ainscnw, of
Wilmington, who answered first in
the roll call and who was the first to
vote for the bill. "Not voting, "
shouted Representative Connolly of
Wilmington, when his name was
called, and Speaker Cooper announced
that he voted for it under protest.
Representatives Lafferty and Leden-
ham were absent, and Representative
Bryan was not in the House when the
roll was called.
Gallery Crowded With Dry Enthusiasts
In the gallery were such "dry"
advocates as the Rev. John M. Art
ers, the Rev. Cyrus P. Keen, Caleb
E. Burchenal and members of the
New Castle w. C. T. u, who had
placed on the desk of Representative
Morrison of Newark, one of the
signers, to the petition, large bunch
of American Beauty roses and white
carnations, tied with white ribbon.
Representative Morrison was accom-
panied down on the train by the
Revs. Joel S. Gilfllan and W. F.
Cochran, together with several of the
w. C. T. U. members. The bill was
the order of the day for o'clock.
and shortly after that time it was
called up by Representative Arm
strong, who had introduced the bill
and urged its passage. After the
bill had been read for the third and
final time, the amendment more
clearly defining "rural New Castle
county" was unanimously adopted.

Causes 95 Per Cent of
Diseases.
Advice Concerning Stomach
Troubles and How to
Remedy Them.

Do not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and COM
plications. An eminent doctor once
said that 95 per cent of all the ills
of the human body have their origin
in a dfsordered stomach.
A physician who made a speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads US to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief of acute indiges-
ton and chronic dyspepsia. Their
ingredients are soothing and healing
to the inflamed membranes of the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity
for short time brings about a ces-
sation of the pains caused by stom-
ach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite. aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
of our sincere faith In Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not
give you entire satisfaction, we will
return you the money you paid US
for them, without question or formal
ity They come in three sizes, prices
rs cents, so cents and S1.oO. Re-
member you can obtain them only

OPPOSED TO VIOLENCE.
Dynamite 0utragss Denounced by Strik-
ing Street Car Men at Evansville.

& Evansville, Ind, June 20. -
The Street Car Mems Union
passed resolutions in which they
denounced the attempts made
Saturday and Sunday nights to
wreck cars with dynamite. The
resolutions were signed by Henry
Reese, president, and Fred Frank,
secretary of the Union.
The Union has sent an appeal
to the State federation of Labor
asking that financial aid be sent
them during the strike. In case
the unions of the State do not
send IN enough money for the
strikers appeals will be made to
the unions in other states in the
West.
Another attempt was made
late last night TO wreck a Seconp
street car at the corner of lower
Second street and Fulton avenue.
A large stick of dynamite was
placed under a car but it failed
to go off. A test was made of
the dynamite today and it was
exploded by means of a fuse.
Had it exploded under the car it
is believed it would have been
completely wrecked and proba-
bly, there would have been loss
of life.

This is as plain as the nose on

error, regardless of the circum-
stances.
Another rule reads: "When
the ball is hit so slowly toward
a fielder that he cannot handle it
in time to put out batsman or
to force a base runner, a base hit
shall be scored"
Then, again, some scorers in
sist on charging fielders with err
rors when the ball takes a false
or freakish bound. If the fielder
stops the ball In such an angle
that be cannot throw to the base
it is base hit. Always give the
fielder a chance for his white
alley. Also be fair with the bat
ter by giving him the benefit of
the doubt. Also remember that
an out-fielder has some rights
which yOn are bound to respect.
If aftera hard ran he gets his
