piece of land which Mr.. Craig had
drained with tiles he won the prize

Complaints recently have been
made by Captain Phillips. master Of

MOTHER OF DEAD
GIRL TESTIFIES
ParentOf Miss Florence Vain
wright Before Grand Jury
at Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md, March II. -
The Grand Jury investigating the
death of Miss Florence Wainwright,
the bookkeeper of the Home Gas
Company, who was found dead in
their office last June. continued their
examination of Witnesses yesterday.
Mrs. George Wainwright. mother Of
the dead girl. testified today for the
first time. So far as is known, she
is the only new witness that has been
summoned. All the others examined
so far we're the same that testified at
the coroner's inquest All the pro-
ceedings are being conducted with
secrecy.
Mrs. Wainwright's testimony yes
terday was TO show whether or not
Miss Wainwright had complained Of
being i'll prior to her body being
found found in the gas company's Of
flee. Mr.. Wainwright was also pres
ent at the courtroom yesterday, but
Y Is not known whether he gave any
testimony or not
Another new development came to
light when It was found that the
state had had detectives working on
the case for several weeks; but
whether these detectives are still
here. or whether they will be sum-
moned to appear before the Grand
Jury at this section or notS the
States Attorney refused TO say. Nu-
merous inquiries have been made as
to why the case was brought up
again at this term Of court, after the
September term of court failed to
bring in an indictment; but States
Attorney Bell refuses to answer any
questions along this line, and also
refuses to say whether any new evil
dence has been secured or not. II
was stated that the Grand Jury had
practically finished with all the wit
nesses summoned so far. and If there
are no new witnesses TO testify, il is
likely the investigation will be fin
ished TODAY.

LIKE FINDING MONEY
Dr.. Howard CO. Offers Popular Medicine
at Half Pnce.

DR.. Howard Co. is making an offer
that is just like finding money for they
are selling a regular so cent bottle OF
DR.. Howards celebrated specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia at
half price. In addition TO this large dis
count they agree to return the money
10 any purchaser whom the specific does
not cure.
II is quite unusual TO be able to buy
fifty cent pieces for a quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently that this medicine could be
bought for less than fiftv cents. Druggists
urged the proprietors to allow them 70
sell it at this reduced price for little
while, agreeing to sell a certain amount.
The result has justified their good judg-
ment, for the sale has been something
remarkable
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach,
specks before the eyes, or any liver trou-
bic, should take advantage of this OPP
portunity. for Or. Howards specific will
cure all these troubles. But if by any
chance it should not, DR.. Howard Co. will

CROUNDHOG'S
REIGN ALMOST
ENDED NOW
Indications Are Winter is
ever and Spring is
Coming
MANY CLOUDY DAYS
WITH SNOW AND RAIN

That the grounding is a knowing
little beast and weather prophet OF
some cunning, even the very dignifed
weather interpreters employed by Uncle
Sam are today admitting.
With the passing today of the thir-
ty-eighth of the forty days of wintry
weather predicted by Mr.. Groundhog,
when he stole out of his hole, on Feb
ruary 2, beheld his shadow and stole
back in again, indications are that some
real spring weather is almost within
sight.
According to the grounding legend,
if the little animal can see his shodaw
at noon on February 2, six weeks more
of wintry weather are to be expected.
Then the backbone OF winter will be
broken and fair days Of spring-like
balm will prevail. So remarkably has
the first part of the prophecy fulfilled
itself this year that there isn't doubt
that spring is really coming.
Even the official prognosticator to-
day could see no more snowstorms or
hurricanes in the weather offering.

marked officially as CLOUDY" or 'rain'
or "snow." On many Of the other days
heavy SHOWS have lain on the ground
and devastating winds have ragged.
During the storm period noted by
the grounding out OF his weather-eye
when he retreated into his hole, two
snow storms and the highest wind re-
corded in these parts in many a day
have proved the title of the little beast
to being a prophet worthy of honor in
even his own country.
Even the official indicators and read
ers of signs could see this morning nc
reason for refusing to believe that the
stormy season will end at the time Mr.
Grounding said it would, and that
spring will then come on in earnest anC
