to their character, shipment, and destined
use. Every such case depends on it's own
facts. The third class includes articles
service and musical instruments, house
hold wares and goods, and other such
like articles. and including many that
are purely mercantile in character. No
article OF merchandise is contraband I'M
less transported beyond the territorial

A WARMING NOTE,
1t Won't Take the Reader
Long to Peruse This, and 1t
May Prevent a Heap OF
T'rOmhIa

One evening in December, 1896, respected
resident of Sutton, in the county of Gale
donia, w., was reading Montpelier paper.
There was nothing strange or peculiar about
this, for the lady was accustomed every
evening to post herself on the current topics
of the day, but on this particular occasion
her eye struck paragraph which arrested
her attention and led to train of circum-
stances which it is the special object of this
item to prevent occurring in this neighbour
hood or wherever this paper circulates.
Mrs. c. F. Brockway, for that is the name
of the lady referred to, completes the facts
mentioned in the above introduction as fol-
lows: VI read the article second time, and
came to this conclusion if Doan's Kidney
Pills cure kidney complaint and the distress
Ing complications arising from inactivity or
irritation of those organs why won't they
cure mel I made inquiry next day at tho
nearest druggist, and as he did not have
them wrote to Montpelier for them. They
were just what l needed. I was getting
along famously when " la grippe" Frustrated
me. When the attack abated somewhat,
severe kidney trouble set in, and l had to
do something at once. My husband searched
Sutton for Doan's Kidney Pills and drove to
Lyndon for them, but was unsuccessful in
procuring them there. What / endured
before second supply reached me is hard
to describe I can only add to my high
opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills that l am
confident had l known of them when first
found out l had kidney trouble would
never have been as bad as was. found
Doan's Kidney Pills of great benefit, and il
my experience will be the means of allevi-
ating such sufferers you have my permission
to publish it."

by young Swedish maid to her mis-
tress. 1t expresses clearly, though In
imperfect English, what every sufferer
from inconsistencies feels. "You ought

WILL NOT BE EXTRADITED.
A Defect In the Law May Save Mrs. bot
kin's Neck IL Guilty of the MUIR
ders Charged Against Her.

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Cor.
della Botkin will not be extradited to
the state of Delaware. If she is to be
tried for the murder of Mrs. John T..
Dunning, the trial will take place in
this state. Such was the conclusion
reached by Superior Judges Cook, Wal.
lace, Seawell, Trout and Borden upon
the writ of habeas corpus sued by Mrs,
Botkin's attorney. The decision was
rendered yesterday.
There yet remains the question
whether or not Mrs. Botkin can legaI-
ly be held for trial here under section
20 of the penal code, which gives,
among persons liable to punishment
under the laws of this state, ''All per.
sons who commit in whole or in part
any crime within this state" Upon
the construction of this section, Judge
Carroll Cooke alone will hear argu.
ments. So no final order was made on
the writ yesterday. Judge Cook mere.
ly ordered continuance until Satur.
day.
With regard to the section named
upon his honor's decision will rest
Mrs. Botkin's fate, so far as a TRIAL
here is concerned
The five judges, in holding that Mrs.
Botkin can not, under the law, be ex-
tradited, simply decide that the legis-
lature has unfortunately omitted TO
provide for just such cases as that OF
Mrs. Botkin. Under the law as it now
stands, she is not a fugitive from JUS
tice, having never set foot in Della
ware; nor is there any way in which
she can be eXtradited. The Judges
say that this omission can be rectified
by act of congress, but until this is
done the law must be held to be de-
fective in this respect.
All parties interested were in court
when the decision was given. The
opinion of the court was written BY
Judge Cook and concurred in by all
his associates. Judge Cook read the

sicnt in the Chickamauga hospital, DR..
Drake said he had seen maggots on
one occasion in "a box in the hospital,
but never on patients. Often the men
came there lousy, but they did not re-
main so. Replying to charges con-
corning the furloughing and shipment
of members of the Eighth and Four
teenth New York regiments, he said
the men of the two regiments had not
wanted to travel together, and that
the delay in shipping those of the
Eighth had been due to the fact that
after he had secured transportation
for them over the Pennsylvania line, a
major in their regiment changed the
order so as to secure transportation
over more circutous route.
Regarding the insinuation that he
had tried to favor the Southern rail-
road because he had been the chief
surgeon of that line, he said he had
not been connected with the road
since 1897.
