staff depart on the evening tram loi
Vera Cruz.
The employees Of the Waters-fier0e
oil Company, an American corporation
and their families, numbering about
seventy persons, left here tonight On
three special cars for Vera Cruz pre-
paratory to taking passage on d
steamer for the United States.
Exodus from Capital.
All sorts Of rumors were current
Many persons who were contemplating
leaving the country in the near future
made hurried preparations and caught
the night train to Vera Cruz, preferring
90 matt for steamer accommodations
there to remaining in the capital
Mr.. Lind was said to have received
messages from Vera Cruz, urging him
90 return AT once for fear the railroad
would be cut,
The uneasiness was accumulated by
the receipt by number of persons or
messages from relatives and friends IN
the United States urging their immedi-
ate departure from Mexico.
The rebels began a campaign last
night directed at the interruption OF
traffic between the capital and Vera
Cruz. Their first efforts were highly
successful, for they seized silver bullion
and currency estimated at value Of
nearly one million pesos
A train was held up on the main line
of the Inter-Oceanic Railway, about
one hundred miles from Mexico City.
The engine and train crews were
beaten. but the passengers were not
mistreated to any great extent, al
though they were robbed of all their
valuables. From the express car the
rebels took a large quantity of silver
and currency which had been shipped
by the government and a big silver
bullion consigned by the Real del Monte
Company.

Henry A. Wise, McGuire's counsel,
said Yesterday he was doubtful as TO
whether Mcclure would be well enough

Whitman. however. believes that Me-
Guire will be produced. and while he
appreciates that the Syracuse man Is
under a terrific strain and was Oh me

of his session on the stand on MONDAY
he is also firmly convinced that the bes'

animals that wander or trespass
upon the lands of a neighbor do
not IN any way become the proper
ty Of the neighbor and must not be
killed, but can be impounded for
costs or the owner can be sued for
damages That is iTle case with
domestic animals and fowls. But
not so with wild animals and birds.
The courts Of many other States
have decided that they are not the
property Of the farmer and if they
go upon another's S land they can be
shot and eaten by him. The State
owns and acts as a trustee for the
preservation and restocking and
propagation Of game so that it may
at no time become extinct, and the
farmer has no say whatever over
it-but he can refuse any person
permission to gun upon his lands
and charge them for the privilege.

Over 10000 Gunners
Take Out Licenses

Shortly after the cunning sea-
son opened the game bureau ran
out Of hunters licenses, the en-
tire 10000 which had been printed
being exhausted. More were Sc
cured at once, and still the demand
continued.
The game commission advertis-
ed the law, the farmers advertised
their lands against trespass, the
storekeepers advertised they had
licenses to sell at $1.1O each, and
the politicians advertised that they
would run on a game law repeal
ticket to the number Of 10000,
and paid their $110 each (or $40.
600 to the game commission for
State use and 800 to the agents
and storekeepers who sold the IL
censes) and the nonresident gun
ners came to the number of 100 and
bought Delaware game licenses at
$1O.5O each.
The question: "Who shall pay to
keep up the game; the man who
works all day, pays taxes and never
goes hunting or the sportsman who
goes out and shoots and enjoys it -
was answered.
OF course the fellow who follow
ed his faithful dogs over fresh rab-
bit and quail tracks Oh frosty
mornings like this would save up
a year but that he would have the
%1.1O or the $10.50 if necessary for
that matter.
1t is believed that one-tenth of
the male population are sportsmen
and even more when it is consider
ed that landlords and tenants and
their sons can hunt and shoot free,
on their respective leaseholds.
The bailiffs also reported that
everybody was showing, promptly
his license to gun.
Farmers seem greatly perturb-
ed over the State s exercising own
ership of the game. The State
courts have recently decided, in
Sussex that any domestic fowls or

Athletics At Delaware

Basketball practice will be start
ed at Delaware this week and the
prospects are bright for fast five,
Notwithstanding the fact that a
number of last seasons varsity
have been lost.
Captain Weimer and Cam, the
big guard, are the only two regu-
lar varsity men back, but num-
ber of last years scrub five are still
in college. They include Wills,
Thomas, McNeal, Doherty, and
Lacklen. Naylor, freshman from
New Castle, is said to be star
cage man.
A number Of the candidates have
already been doing some practice
work in the cage and this will give
Coach McAvoy an excellent oppor-
tunity to size up his new material.
Manager McCafferty and Coach
McAvoy are now working on the
schedule and it will be submitted to
the athletic council for considera-
ton early next month.
Arrangements are being made for
the annual indoor meet between
the freshmen and sophomores next
month. This is always one of the
feature athletic events Of the Win
ter season.
Owing to the fact that it might
damage the new athletic field, it
is not likely that Coach McAvoy
will introduce soccer here this fall
as was expected. The game, how
ever, will be introduced early next
spring, if not this fall.

And birds are in the show.
They climb up ladders, dance jig
Oh, many things they know.
They dress i'll costume, ride a wheel

More wise than many a man.

They do the best they can.

Notice to Correspondents.

Country correspondents have with
out doubt noticed the fact that the
whole or a portion of their news mat
ter has been omitted. This has been
necessary owing to the rush of work
in our printery department incidental
to the issuing of many town reports
from our press. We have endeavored
to use the news In the towns where
the Observation-Disclosures has the big
gest list of subscribers, and can prac-
tically assure our correspondents
that their valued news material will
not be omitted to such an extent until
another year at least.

Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You? i


Distress You? i
Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are SO common In
this country Ii due to hasty and
careless habits OF eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, Of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with q bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and 1t seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles Of vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment In my health; my digestion Is
much stronger, and | have gained in
weight"
vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs. and Is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle OF vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned IL 1t does not help you.
