Gladness Comes

II{ith a better understanding CT the
" y transient nature OF the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort In
the knowledge, that SO many forms CT
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, In order to get its bene-
fetal effects, 10 note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold By
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatiyes or
other remedies are then not needed II
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most skllful
physicians, but Il in need OF a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
vell-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgive most general satisfaction.

THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THATsEC-
TON AT BAY.
Georgetown, Del, Aug. 2.-The mos
quito plague in this locality is assum-
ing such proportions that the people are
going wild over it. There is a great de-
mand for mosquito netting, but none can
be bought in the town. Two families
have bought the entire stock of mos
quito netting that a dry goods and no
ion firms had on hand.
The pestiferous insects are as both
ersome during the day as during the
night. and there is talk of the invention
of a hy-paper suit to catch them. Few
people will leave this town tomorrow
for the camp meeting grounds. as the
mosquitoes swarm there in dense
clouds.
The plague has aroused the supersti-
tions OF the colored people of this Sec
tion. many of whom believe that it is
the forerunner of a drought. during
which the world will be burned up.
The insects are particularly pestifer-
GUS i'm the vicinity of the swamps be-
tween here and Milton.
Residents of this town have agreed
not to burn any lights tomorrow night
The town will be in total darkness on

Many and extensive preparations
are being made to put up the new sig
nal system of the Wilmington and
New Castle Railway Company. The
wires have been strung as far as Rog-
ers Park. Superintendent Miller stated
that he expects the signals every day
but they have not arrived. The order
was l,laced almost a month ago. If they
do not arrive in a few days a new sys-
tenn will be ordered.
Much trouble has been experienced
1by the motormen in getting on sidings
TO pass other cars There is no way
by which a motorman can tell where
the car he expects TO pass Is. Otten
they run past switches in an effort 10
reach the next siding and meet the car
half way between. This necessitates
one of the cars running back TO the sid-
ing. which Il has passed. To avoid TINS
the signals viii be put in They vii
work automatically and when cai
passes a switch it presses a button
which indicates by a rad light or sigma

PREEpERs- ARE TO BLAME.

Detective w. T. Jones, of the p, w.
G. B. railroad, called the attention of a
reporter Saturday night to the brutal
manner in which breeders of chickens
ship the birds off to the markets. In
many cases said the detective, breed
ers will put fifty chickens in a crate
that is only large enough for fifteen.
The chickens are so packed together
that many of them die before they
reach the markets. and many that are
sold are not fit to eat owing to the
manner in which they are shipped"
The chickens are shipped many miles
and receive nothing to eat undl they
arrive at their destination. The at
tention CT the S. p c. A. has been call
ed to the matter and the arrest Of the
breeders is likely to follow if the prac-
tice is kept up. Agent Frank Stout in
tends to look into the case.

rcctly over his head was an electric
light bulb suspended by a wire. There
were number Of prisoners around the
office at the time, and they watched
the pranks of the lightning as it came
over the wires and burned out the
fuses.
Suddenly there was a loud crash Of
thunder. The wooden bulb handle was
rent into pieces and the globe was
broken i'm a thousand bits. AT the

and fell out into the corridor He was

When they saw the warden fall and
the balls of fire that rolled about in tho

He was i'm a dazed condition and wal
trying to get up on his feet but coul'
not. Miss Abbott was in a predica

the big iron door was between her am
him, and he had the keys. She calle'
TO one Of the prisoners to place his han'
i'm the warden's pocket and give her th
keys, but he would not.
However, with the assistance of tw'
of the prisoners, the plucky wardei
managed to get near the door and rec
