AFTER EASY MONEY
FROM A SPRINGER
ChiCaGOan ACquaintS Mayor
SpruanCe With MaSSaChu-
Sett Mans Plan

Mayor Spruance to-day received
letter from a Chicago man signing
himself II. II. Springer, No. 420S
Greenwood avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, In
which the latter incloses some news
paper clippings, circulars and other
data sent to him by Il. l.. Scribner. Of
Amesbury, Mass.
Us this man Scribner a fake" asks
the writer. 81 have received num-
ber OF letters from him asking for
money to carry out his plans and as
/ am a poor man | cannot assist him.
! am one Of the direct descendants OF
the Springer family who lived in VIII
mington, Del, but knew nothing OF
the estate mentioned, although ] re-
member the matter was taken up some
forty-fve years ago, when l was
little boy, but have heard nothing
since, until | received several letters
from e. l.. Scrlbner. who claims to
have some OF the original leases OF
this property. Can you give me any
information on the subject. II so
will oblige me very much.
Among other things enclosed In the
letter were two cards, one bearing
the name OF u. l.. Scribner, genealog-
ist secretary, and the other the name
of Clara 70. Scribner. Both bear what
purport to be the Springer crest and
coat of arms.
There also is a circular containing
history of the Springer estate and
the names Of the officers OF The
Maine State Association OF the Spring
er Heirs OF America.
There also is circular letter signed
by Il. l.. Scribner In which he points
out the hard work be is doing for the
Springer heirs and that he intends 70
call a convention of at least 1000 OF
these heirs to meet at Boston In Oc-
tober. The letter was dated August 2t
and II a convention was held In Bos.
ton last month. nothing was said about
Il by the press.
In this letter Mr. Scribner states
Failure on the part OF the city OF
Wilmington to produce certain books
(books alleged TO be missing In the
recoder OF deeds Office here) called
for. Is contempt OF court, and means
settle the damage TO the Springer
heirs OF America for loss OF said
books. and the three leaves gone from
the said index books"
Scribne says he needs $3.50 TO carry
1 on the fight Of which amount he has
received 5000. and he has Issued ap-
peals for one dollar each to make uI
the amount he still needs. Kindly
send the one dollar, send two, three
or five n you can, not TO distress" h'
4 states. He says his time is short ant
those to whom he has appealed should
not allow him to wait for this small
sum of money.
II is likely that the matter will b.
brought to the attention OF the post
office authorities here. Meantime II
H. Springer will be sent one Of tn
pamphlets prepared some time ag'
which sets forth fully the status Of th
I supposed Springer estate.

within eight years. the entire group

Socialists"
Flushed with triumph through his
election to Congress as the first Of his
political faith to sit I'm the lower Ma
tional House. Victor l.. Berger, Social
ist, to-day made the above prediction
here as the result OF his party's re-
marlSable progress since the elections
of 1908.
'The elections just held show that
the Socialist party made tremendous
gains" said Berger. Il believe we
polled at least 1.250,0OO votes through
out the country In Minneapolis alone
we gained 800 votes. In Des Moines
we polled 200 and New York and
Ohio report immense gains. Compare
this vote with that Debs polled for
President in 1908 and my prediction
that the Northern States will be swept
by Socialism eight years hence is

Lodge. Governor-elect Foss an

ern Miracle, But Simply Ra-
ti0nal Cure for Dyspepsia.
In these days of humbuggery and
deception. the manufacturers Of pa
tent medicines, as a rule. seems TO
think their medicines will not sell
unless they claim that it will cure
every disease under the sun. And
they never think of leaving out dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles. They
are sure to claim that their nostrum
is absolutely certain to cure every
dyspeptic and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims
it is refreshing to note that the pro-
prietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's have carefully refrained from
making any undue claims or false
representations regarding the merits
of this most excellent remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
make but one claim for it, and that
is, that for indigestion and various
stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is a radical cure. They go
no farther than this, and any man or
woman suffering from indigestion,
chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who
will give the remedy a trial will find

1t is a modern discovery, composed
of harmless vegetable ingredients ac-
ceptable to the weakest or most deli

curing stomach troubles is due TO the
fact that the medicinal properties are
such that it will digest whatever

or not 1t rests the overworked organ
and replenishes the body, the blood,

blessings which always accompany a

In using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty OF wholesome food and take
these Tablets at each meal, thus as
sisting and resting the stomach,
which rapidly regains its proper d.
gestive power, when the Tablets VIII

Nervous Dyspepsia is simply con-
dition in which, some portion or por-
tions OF the nervous system are not
properly nourlshed. Good digestion
invigorates the nervous system and
every organ in the body.

Let's Have Light.

Dillon may have quite num-
ber of shining lights, but there
is no, questioning the fact that
she is without electric lights.
The old direct current lighting
plant that has done service here
for 10 years is down and out, ,"
Is the sporting fraternity would
say, and the city authorities have
the alternative of selling the old
plant, alcng with the franchise, to
private individuals, or issuing
bonds and putting in an up-to'
late municipal plant.
Council has several propositions
from private parties to purchase
the old plant but it has not yet
given serious consideration to any
Of the offers. One gentleman
mas offered $4,000 for the plant and
a 20 year franchise, but Council,
so it is understood, hesita.ed to
accept the proposition because
there is some probability of the
Rockingham Power Co. building
line into Dillon in the near flu
ture.
However, the city is in dark
ness and what the public wants is
light. Dillon was one of the first
towns in the Pee Dee country to
install an electric light plant and
for years the enterprise was one
of the best advertisements the
city had.
Dillon is entirely too large and
too progressive to be without cleo
trio lights and it is greatly to be
hoped that out City fathers will
either sell the old plant to private
parties or order an election upon
the question of issuing bonds for
the construction Of a modern plant.
