Element of this matter was left to

Recovery of
A. Ingram
Is Doubtful
Former Sank Centre Mayor
Lies Critically in Univer-
sity Hospital, Minneapolis
AGE IS A HANDICAP
Apparently Successful Surgi-
cal Operation March 30
Kidney Trouble

The many friends in Sank Cen.
tire and community of former. May.
or Adam L. Ingram will be panied
to learn that he lies very critically
i'll at the University Hospital, Min.
neapolis.
Mr.. Ingram has been in poor
health for over a year, suffering in
tensely at intervals.
Several weeks ago he underwent
a thorough examination by physic-
ians who informed him that a pos
.trate gland operation was neces-
sary; they told Mr.. Ingram that he
was in perfect physical condition
otherwise for a man of his years
and that there was every probable
ity that he would enjoy good health
again. Several years ago only
about 20 per cent recovered from
these operations. Now fully 80
per cent are expected to recover.
The operation was performed
Monday, March 30. For a time the
gentleman was apparently on the
high road to rapid recovery. Acute
and serious kidney trouble devel-
oped several days later. The doc
tors informed Adams brother, Cor
don, of Minneapolis, that it would
be wise to send for any relatives he
might have. George Ingram, broth
er, of Regina, Sask., Can, hurried
to his brothers bedside. The other
hrOf har. G T, 10 canHnod IN q
sanatarium near Washington, D. C.
George arrived in Sank Centre
Tuesday evening and spent Wed
nesday in this city with old rela-
tives and friends. He said Adam
was trifle better when he left
Minneapolis but that the physicians
did not hold out any hope of his
recovery.
Adam is SO years old and a sur
gical operation at his age is bound
to be serious.

SO Per Cent
Vote Cast at
City Election
F. G. Pangburn and G. D. Cass
Reelected Aldermen by
Big Pluralities
ONE REAL HOSS RACE
Ralph Steffes Defeats James
Coyle by Three Votes-/
Gus Otto Loses by %

There was much smoke and very
little fire in connection with the
annual city election held Tuesday,
April 7.
With five candidates filing for
the three aldermanic positions it
was taken for granted that voters
in large numbers would exercise
their right of suffrage.
Conservative estimate places the
total voting strength of the city
between 1000 and 1900. Five hun
dred ninety-one votes were polled
Tuesday, POI in the First Ward
and 800 in the second.
As the votes were counted there
appeared to be an alignment of
pairs there being many cast for F.
G. Pangburn and G. D. Cass, the
present aldermen who filed for re-
election, and James Coyle and
Ralph Steffes.
The names of Messrs. Pangburn
and Cass were filed first, followed
by Mr.. Coyle and Mr.. Steffes on
the same petition. Late the last
filing day August Otto's name was
placed in nomination
To the observer it was quite ap-
parent Tuesday morning that
Pangburn and Cass would be re-
elected. 1t was also quite general
ly assumed that James Coyle would
be third man. Mr.. Coyle had ser
we'd previously as member of the
council and had made a very eff
ficient member. ~..
The results elected Pangburn
and Cass by handsome pluralities.
Both carried each ward Mr. Coyle
carried the First ward over Mr..
Steffes by one vote and lost the Sec
ond to him by four votes, giving
Ralph a majority over him of three
votes, real boss race. This was Mr..
Steffes second try for alderman.
The vote Mr.. Otto received was
quite surprise to many as he has
never taken an active interest in
civic and political offairs. He poll
ed 95 votes in the First Ward and
15S in the Second, for a total of
253 votes, % less than the total
polled by Mr.. Steffes.
Mr.. Steffes, the new member, is
one of Sank Centres progressive
young businessmen and will I'M
doubtedly make valuable member
of the city's law-making body.
The contests were good natured
and there are no sore spots left,
which is as it should be.
c. E. Bohall was elected a
Special Judge of the Municipal
Court without any opposition. He
is the present incumbent and his
term is for four years.
The hold over members of the
Council are DR.. P. G. Peterson and
John Mondloch. Mayor Sigurd
Holmes term expires in 1882.
Under the charter the City Clerk
and City attorney are elected for
two terms. Messrs. ]. F. Cooper
was elected city clerk and L. L.
Kells, city attorney for 1880.
The chief of police is appointed
by the Mayor each year. There
isn't much probability that there
will be much of turnover in the
appointive offices at this time.
The following is the vote each
candidate received in each ward:

EGG PRODUCTION RECORD
Poultrymen Also Receive Informa-
tion on Roof Repairs of Houses

The average egg production rec
ords of 36,333 birds representing
107 poultry farms throughout the
state have been included in the
June report of the Delaware farm
egg record club which has been
prepared by H. S. Palmer, exten-
sion poultryman of the University
of Delaware, and mailed recently
from the Office of county agent
Russell E. Wilson to each of the
eighty-one poultry raisers in Kent
county who are cooperating with
the extension service in this pro-
ject this year. OF these SO, ,333
birds, the 1874 pullets produced
on the average 1874 eggs each, and
the 9,410 hens laid 14.3 eggs each,
while the 1879 pullets and hens
in mixed fiocks produced on the
average AL eggs per bird during
June, as compared to a production
of 1873 eggs per pullet, 1876 eggs
per hen and 1876 eggs per bird in
mixed fiocks during June of last
year. Aside from the statistical
section of this egg report, the
poultrymen also received timely
information in regard to the use of
asphalt for repairing the roofs of
poultry houses, as old roofs that
are made of metal or other prepar-
ed material can be repaired to give
years of satisfactory service by
treating them with a reliable roof
dressing. There are several pre-
pared roof-dressing materials on
the market today with a wide
range of prices, and most of these
materials are made of asphalt and
asbestos which offer very good
protection against all kinds of
weather if properly applied. The
prepared roof-dressing comes in
cans ready to apply, while the
plain asphalt must be melted and
applied to the roof while it is hot.
Before applying this material,
however, all holes in the roof must
be patched with metal, burlap or
roofing paper, and then spread the
hot asphalt quickly and evenly
over the surface. One drum of this
asphalt is sufficient to cover an
area 20 feet by 100 feet, and it
may be purchased from some of
the oil refining companies where it
is sold under different trade
names.

Of the difficulty in navigation

SEIZE SEVEN STILLS IN KENT
Dry Agents Walk 15 Miles on Liq-
uor Hunt of One Family

Prohibition agents of Whining
ton and Dover, led by Harold d.
Wilson, deputy prohibition admin
istrator for Delaware, confiscated
seven large moonshine stills, said
to have been operated by one fam
lily, in a woods near FELTON,, Kent
county, Friday. The stills were
found in patches of woods within
a two-mile radius of Sipple's gen
eral store. The agents walked
nearly fifteen miles in their search
for the illicit liquor plants, the
equipment of which was valued at
about $1,000. All the plants were
destroyed. No arrests were made.
The search for the plants was
started in a small auto. Once, the
auto became stuck on a tree stump
and another time one of the fend-
ers was torn off. The auto was
later abandoned and the search
continued on foot. The first seiz-
ure was a plant consisting of three
5O0-gallon mash vats, five 10-gal-
lon pressure tanks, condensers and
five gallons of liquor. Nearby were
found five stills, three of 25-gal-
lon capacity and two of 50-gallon
capacity. A little distance away,
a 15-gallon keg of whisky was
found. Two more mash watts, a
water pump and a condenser were
found in another patch of woods.
No still was found. About mile
away the agents found two more
stills in operation.

AT ENTRANCES, PROCEED

Bridge at st. Georges - Water
way Open Daylight Hours Only

With the exception of one large
barge, all of the craft which has
been waiting for several days for
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al to be cleared of the barges
which were grounded near st.
Georges, several days ago, passed
through the canal Sunday after
noon. The craft included one large
Ericsson Line steamboat on the
way from Philadelphia to Balti-
more. After several days work by
the Eastern Transportation Com
pany, which owned the two wreck
ed barges to get them out of the
canal channel the company aband-
oned them to the government and
Lieutenant Colonel r. p. Howell,
United States Engineer for the
Wilmington district, started the
work of removing the wrecks. A
wrecking company from Philadel-
phia was engaged and the govern
ment engineers placed the concern
ct WI n " CACcil ll1G GlldlllCls n6
first work done was to dredge a
temporary channel around the
wrecked barges. This was COM
pIeted Sunday and at 1 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, when the tide
was right, the vessels were permit
ted to go through except the one
large barge which the government
engineers were afraid might jam
the temporary channel on account
of its width. Numbers of barges
and small craft, as well as the one
large steamboat, passed through
safely. There was a large number
of boats at each end of the canal
ready to move when the order was
given to go. They were compelled
to proceed carefully about the
wrecked barges but went through
all right. Colonel Howell said that
boats will be allowed to use the
