Munyon's Medical Institution. 1906
Arch street. Philadelphia, Pa, is the
best one of it's kind in the world. It
employs a large staff of skilled spe-
cialists to diagnose the cases not only
of people applying personally for
treatment, but those in all parts of the
country who send in personal letters,
asking the best methods of being cured
of various diseases. Thousands of
these letters are received every week,
and a staff of from ten to fifteen doc
tors are daily employed in debating re-
plies through the medium of as many
stenographers. These letters are re-
ceived in the strictest confidence and
promptly answered with the best medi-
cal advice obtainable No effort will be
spared to see that each case is thor
oughly diagnosed and the proper reme-
dies 10 effect a cure are prescribed.
For these services no fee is expected.
Prof. Munyon puts up a separate cure
for each disease At all druggists,
mostly % cents a vial.

THE ExTENsIoN-oF-oFFIcE BILL

THE ExTENsION-OF-OF BILL.
We learn that the friends OF the BILL
~ aV-tend 10 the Fall OF 1898 the terms
of the present officials of the city OF
Wilmington. from the mayor down,
have another card up their sleeve,
which they propose to play at the first
favorable opportunity. It Is said to be
in the shape of an amendment carry
ing the election over to June of next
year This Is but little better than the
original proposition. The only redeem
ing feature It has is that 1t keeps our
city election separate and distinct from
the state and national election.
It is useless for the friends of the ex-
tension bill to plead the ground of
economy. They are all known, and
none of them was ever especially noted
as a political economist. The people
areperfectlywilling TO bear the expense
OF holding an election at which they
can express their sentiments as to who
shall represent them in the various city
offices.
Il is useless for the friends OF the bill
10 plead the ground of a union of Ad-
dicks and Higgins forces. Everybody
who has been watching the drift Of the
Republican politics In this state and
city during the past few months real
ikes that the two factions are wider
apart than they ever we're before, and
that the matter OF the distribution OF
Federal patronage is an apple Of dis
cord which is constantly widening The
breach.
The bill is devoid Of merit. We can
not conceive how any man who is no
pecuniarily interested in It's passage
can advocate it's passage. The longei
it is held in the House, the longer tbs
people will wonder what influences arr
at work to make men who should b.
honest in their expressions Of opinol
become the instruments of selfishness
which threatens the integrity an
standing Of the Democratic party Il
our city.

runs, and It may be that the New York
market will be made accessible at
cheap rates by the Inauguration of a
steamboat line from Lewes. It is ap-
parent that the men back Of the enter
prise are in earnest, for they have
spent thousands Of dollars in the face
of the obstacles thrown in their way
by rival interests and the inexplicable
conservatism and ayarice Of the people
along the line.

In one sense electric railways are pri-
vate corporations, and in another sense
they are public institutions. In which
ever sense they are regarded they are
public benefactions, and should be en-
couraged by every means consistent
with the public interest. We cannot
have too many OF them. for competition
increases facilities and, reduces rates
and these lead to travel and to an in
crease in the volume of the trade of our
city. With electric railways radiating
in all directions from the heart of our
city, we should reap much Of the trade
which goes to other places, and espe-
cially to the small towns, for we all
know the pleasure it is to wOmankind
to come 30 the city and shop, and how
much the men love to take a trip TO the
city In preference to the slow and hum.
drum trip to the little country store
where the diversions are few. the price.

ASSAULTED HIS WIFE.
JOHN SMITH SAID TO HAVE CAUHT
HIS WIFE IN A COMPROMISING
POSITION.


POSITION.
About 3 O'Clock Sunday morning
little girl came TO the police station and
asked for an officer, saying that her
mother, Mary Smith, was being MUIR
dered. Captain Kane went to the
scene of the disturbance and found Mrs.
Smith lying in a pool of blood. Beside
her lay an old fiint-lock gun. The Off
Ger carried the woman to a lounge and
attended TO her injuries.
After regaining consciousness the
woman, in reply to Captain Kane's
question as to how the affair occurred,
said that she had been entertaining a
few friends, and that some beer had
been drunk. After the visitors depart
ed Walter Johns, an intimate friend
of the family, remained. 1t appears
that the woman's husband came home
and found Johns and his wife in a ccm-
promising position, and the assault fol
lowed.
Captain Kane summoned DR.. Jones,
and the physician, upon examination
found that the hammer of the gun, with
which Smith had struck his wife, had
penetrated the scalp, severing an art
cry. After the assault Smith fed, but
was afterwards arrested by Captain
Kane. He will be arraigned on Tues
day morning.
