Dover Miss is Attacked for
Second Time by Strange
Man

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Nov. 2S.--Following
the strange carrying away Of Miss
Nettie Vivian, the 22-year-old adopted
daughter OF William Virden of Hart
ley. which was told in these columns
last week, the authorities are now
investigating another strange attack
upon the young woman. On Sunday
morning a week ago she was seized
by a strange man in the farm yard
and was driven several miles in .
wagon and then freed without any
harm being done to her.
Last Thursday night as she went
out to the pump a man pounced on
her dragged her 200 yards and then
slashed her with knife. Her screams
aroused the Virdens, who found hei
in a field, helpless. She was taken
back to the house with her right leg
gashed in twenty places, two gashcs
in the right side of her neck. and
bruises over her whole body, especi.
ally on her face She was almost
unrecognisable from wounds and
blood.
She lay unconscious until Sunday
and at times was critical. She thinks
the man who attacked her Thursday
night was a foreigner, and not her
captor of the Sunday before. State
Detective Walls is working on the
case

A Permanent Cure for
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute It who
have not tried It. yet thousands os
others, who speak from personal ex-
perience. assert that there is a perma-
nent cure for chronic constipation.
Some testify they we're cured for as
little as fifty cents. years ago. and
that the trouble never came back on
them, while others admit they took
several bottles before a steady cure
was brought about.
The remedy referred to Is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. II has been on
the market for over a quarter OF a
century and has been popularized on
its merits, by one person telling an
other. The fact that it's strongest sup.
porters are women and elderly people
the ones most persistently oonsti'
pated-makes II certain that the
claims regarding Il as a permanent
cure for constipation have not been
exaggerated.

1t is the intention OF the committee
in charge of this movement to leave
this city the first Sunday in August,
returning in two weeks. Headquarters
have already been secured in Fort
Worth and preparations are now being
made to secure ample funds for pri-
vate Pullman cars, etc.
Aside from the pleasures of such a
trip it is the intention of Jesse H.
Horner, the president of the club, TO
advertise Delaware and especially
Wilmington in every city where the
club stops and also in Fort Worth
during their entire stay. Appropriate
banners will be painted both for dis
play purposes on the cars, at the Fort
Worth headquarters, and in the man,
moth parades that will take place al
most daily during this convention.
The Texas Club is trying in various
ways to raise funds for necessary ex-
penses such as banners, buttons,
streamer, circulars, etc, and the dance
on next Tuesday evening is one of
their methods employed. Tickets can
be secured from any member of the
Texas Club for 35 cents. Music will be
furnished by Montgomery Orchestra

dance will be wonderful success.
