The Roncado Medicine Co. has opened
an office in the Turner block, between
Eighth aud Ninth streets, in our city, and
from the testimonials Of the people that
have been cured, It must be a wonderful
remedy. The company has come to stay
with us, and cannot be classed with those
people that are here today and gone
tomorrow. The manager OF the company
says Roncado Tonic is most wonderful
remedy, and will do in 1--WE days what no
other medicine will do In six months, and
II you suffer with rheumatism, kidney or
liver complaint, stomach troubles, mala-
rial levers, or female weakness, one bottle
will show the results. The company's
motto is, no cure, no pay. That is, II you
get no result when the bottle Is empty,
return the empty bottle and your money
is refunded, and we think on such terms
everybody in this county can AFFORD to try
one bottle; and as the company is adver-
Using Roncado Tonic for the benefit OF
the druggists, they will sell you, for a
short time only, a one dollar bottle for rs
cents, and IL you do not wish to buy 1t,
come to the office aud get a sample. II
will be free to all that come; SO do not
delay II you suffer with the above com
plants, but come to the office at once
Their Office is in the Turner block,

FIGHT FOR MRS. BoTKIN.

| According to .he present status OF
the famous Dunning aud Deane poison
ing CASE, Mr.. Ada BJtkin, tIle alleged
poisoner, is now in The possession OF
an agent of the State of Delaware.
Detective Bernard j. McVey, aud Mrs.
Botkin will remain in his possession,
unless in the recent habeas corpus pro-
cedings the Supreme Court of CaIifor-
MIA decides that she is worngfully and
unlawfully detained by the de- ectiye,
and orders her to be released.
The following dispatch regarding the
San Francisco courts action on the ex-
tradition papers or Mrs. Botkin, will
be found to contain the latest news
San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The war
ant for the extradition of Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin for the murder of Mrs. John P.
Dunning and her sister, Mrs Joshua
DeaDe, of Dover, DEL, was placed in
Chief of Police Lees hands yesterd ay.
To prevent the extradition of the ac-
cused woman her attorneys went before
Judge Hawley of the United States
district court, to apply for writ of
hadeas corpus. Judge Hawley refused
to entertain the plea, saying that too
much time was being wasted in frivo-
lous tactics, and suggested that the
United States circuit court of appeals
be pc peti!ioned, thus avoiding long
delay.
Mrs. Bo.kin's attorney then appealed
to judge Cook, who issued the desired
papers. The new writ was directed at
Detective McYey, of Delaware. This
was done in order to prevent Chief of
Police Lees turning the prisoner over
to the eastern detective, who could get
out of the state with his charge. A
new writ was made returnable on Mon
day when a number of other judges
probably will sit with Judge Cook.
Mrs. Botkin was ordered into the
custody of Chief of Poliece Lees. Her
attorneys now announce that they will
not take the case to the supreme Jurt
untiievc.j o.har ,venle has been tried.
