Lawrence. Kas.-Mr. j. F. S one,
of this city, says, my wife suffered
for ten years from womanly trOu-
bles, during two years of which she
was totally helpless. She was ex-
anined by many physicians. some of
whom gave her up to die. Finally
she began to take Cardui, and since
then has greatly improved in health.
The tonic. strengthening, and restor-
alive effects of Cardui. the woman's
tonic, on the womanly constitution,
are the most valuable qualities of
this popular medicine. Cardui acts
specifically on the womanly constitu-
ton. Half a century of success
proves that Cardui will do all taat is
claimed for it. Try it for your
trouble.

Governor Wilson Grows Pan
icky Because His Chickens
Die.
A ROUNDABOUT THEORY
Little Probability That a Chick
en- That Died Would Be
Served on Table.

Frankfort. KY. Nov. 1S.-Gov.
Wilson and his family escaped being
poisoned today because the assassin
roverdid his work. The plot was to
feed poison to the chickens and let
the family of Gov. Wilson be poison
ed by eating the chickens. The man
who put the poison in the chicken
food put in two much, and the re-
suit was the chickens were killed.
Gov. Wilson refused TO believe
that an attempt had been made on
his life or that of the members of
his family until the contents of the
chickens crops had been anslyz d
and then they were four d to contain
poison. Gov. Wilson reported the
matter to the police, and besides
asked Chief of Police Mapgan tc
furnish a man at the executive mali
sion.
Policemen are guarding the exec
utive mansion, assigned there at the
request of Gov. Wilson. Fear,
that the historic house may be set on
fire or that food taken in for the us
of the governors household may be
poisoned, are responsible for the
guard
Some time ago Governor Wilson
discharged an employee who had
worked on the place. This employ
continued to get his meals from the
executive kitchen until the governor
found it out, and he was ordered
from the place. The next develop
ment was the poisoning Of the gov
ernor's chickens, followed tonight b,

HIGH SCHOOL


defeated Owensboro by the score IF
IL to 6 in one Of the best and clean
est games ever played on a local
gridiron. Both teams were rather
evenly matched altho Owensboro
outweighed the local team by over
ten pounds to the man. But High
School displayed terrific speed and
fighting spirit which eventually won
The game
The same w@s wJn in the first half
The marvellous speed OF the High
School team completely dszzled their
heavier opponents and by the end of
the first half they had scored enough
points to win the game. High
School started off with a rush. They
kicked off to Greensboro but soon
recovered the ball. Then Fuqua
was substituted for Higgins, and be
calmly placed a drop kick squarely,
between the goal posts.
In the next quarter High School
simply swept the Greensboro boys fl
their feet; by line plunges. end runs,
and forward passes. they gained at
will. A few minutes after the
quarter began Fuqua Nackled Jake
of Owe nsboro behind his own goal
line and threw him for a safety.
Then High School secured the ball
and on a toward pass to Fuqua.
landed the ba II on Owensboro's two
yard line; from here Abbitt carried
the ball over and Green kicked goal.
In the second half Greensboro
cine back with a rush. and in the
third quarter, Meisenheimer carried
the ball over for a touch down.
Clarke kicked goal. Then in The
fourth quarter they rushed the ball
to the 3 yard line but High School
held firm and Robertson punted out
Of danger. But Greensboro came
againand time was called with the ball
in their possession on High Schools
5 yard line.
For High School the whole team
played the greatest game of their
career. Altho outweighed by over
ten pounds to the man. they never
fiinched but hit the line harder and
harder every time. Fuqua and All
bitt we're whirlwinds of speed, time
after time they broke through the
line for long gains. The general
ship of Capt. Green couldn't have
been improved upon; he ran the ball
well and played a great defensive
game. The whole line played great
ball as we'll as the ends and rest of
the team.
For Greensboro, Jake, Clarke and
Boyd were three of the fastest men
ever seen on the local gridiron.
Meisenheimer played a great game
and made their lone touchdown
The line up of the teams was as

Questions

An interesting talk on the numerous
civic problems confronting all cities
and countries Of the present day was
given yesterday morning by Superin-
tendent George W. Twitmyer TO the
Civics class Of the Wilmington High
School After tracing the growth of
the idea Of citizenship 10 its highest
ideals, Superintendent Twitmyer
spoke Of the state and city officers ap-
pointed by the citizens 10 carry out
the best interests of the community.
/ Hes said there should be no need Of
/ the cry for more police for Whining

TO have that i'm any Of its citizens
which makes police protection neces-
sary.
The more complex the society. the
more restrained must be the privi-
leges of the individual. said Or. Twit-
myer. In this connection he referred TO
the Supreme Court decision against
the Standard oil Company as a mo-
nopoly in restraint Of trade
Touching upon Wilmington mat
ters. Superintendent Twitmyer men
toned the class visit TO City Council,
and approaching visit 10 court, as

asked them to consider present prob
lens In this city, such as the economic
value Of widening Eleventh street for
the proposed DUPONT hotel. and the
question of whether the city should
be paid for franchises. He asked them
why Il was right for a city to tax an
automobile for the use Of the streets
and not a wheelbarrow or a wagon
He spoke of the purchase by the Board
of Education of properties adjoining

s, for the purpose of play grounds and
TO prevent the erection of detrimental

new RULINGS In
.LICENSETRANSFERS
Both Tenant and Owner Must
Appear in Future to
Explain Relations

Resident Judge Herbert L. Rice this
morning transferred the license Of the
hotel at Delaware City. tenanted by
William C. Smith. to Alonzo Dieker-
son.
At the same time Judge Rice made
an order that hereafter when trans
fer applications are presented, both
the seller and buyer must be present
in court
The reason for this order is that
the judges want to learn all the facts
in the case and protect both the land
lord and the tenant
William c. Smith informed Judge
Rice this morning that three years
age he bought the good will of the
hotel from John Goodwin for $500.
Part of the money Smith said he bor-
rowed from the Stoeckle Brewing
Company and took possession Of the
place.
Alonzo Dickerson informed the
judge that he had paid part Of the
money for the good will 10 the
Stoeckle Brewing Company. He is
to pay $4,000 in all for the good will
and expects to pay fair rent for the
hotel.
Harry Neher, Of the Stoeckle Brew
ing Company, said that between the
Goodwin and Smith deals the com
pany has lost $1,000 on the property
In granting the transfer Of the IL
cense Judge Rice said that hereafter
the landlord should not get both the
rent and the proceeds Of the sale of the
good will. The court thought the
tenant is the party who should profit
by the sale of the good will. On the
other hand, when a landlord gets
tenant who does not protect the prop
erty the court said the landlord can
notify such tenant to vacate and the
landlord must forward a copy OF
such notice to the Resident Judge
showing the reasons for causing such
tenant to vacate
