Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and
grandmOthers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctoas, were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner.
vous and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

WILL FIGHT INCREASE IN TAXES.
RefOrmers in New Castle County Will be Cor.
trOlled by the Republicans.

The meeting of citizens last week in
terested in bettering the condition of
Wilmington and New Castle county
affairs caused considerable comment.
The refOrmers propose to get promi-
nent residents of the county and the
grangers to take up the matter, and
fight against corruption.
President Gawthrop, of the citizens
meeting, is now considering the men
to be appointed on the Committee of
Nine-fve Republicans and four Dem
Ocrats.
Republican friends of Comptroller
Kelley are agitated over the resolution
denouncing Mr.. Kelley's course. They
say he had a splendid opportunity to
hold up the clique in control of the
Levy Court, but did not do so. Vol
untary offers of contributions of funds
to aid the work are being received by
the leaders in the movement. Men
from the rural districts say that should
there be year of ''hard times" many
farmers would be utterly unable to pay
the heavy increase in taxes.

DOVER HAS BIG BUILDING BOOM.
New Farmers Bank Will Be One of the Finest
Buildings in the State.

Dover is experiencing a building
boom such as it has not enjoyed for
twenty years past, although in that
time several handsome structures have
been erected. Opposite the Priscilla
block, owned by Harry A. Richardson,
in Loockerman street, near the post
Office, the Farmers Bank is having
erected $50, 900 bank building. This
will be the finest building wholly de-
voted to banking purposes within the
State. 1t is to be of Indiana lime
stone, smooth and rough finish.
Law offices in South State street are
being erected, besides the beautiful
dwelling now far towards completion
on State street, belonging to William
W. Richardson. This structure will
cost in the neighborhood of $50, 900
when completed, and is the finest dwell
ling house in town. On Division street
large brick store is being built by
William W. Wise.

At certain period of his life the av-
erage American boy, if he does not
want to be an Indian hunter would
like to get jo5 as pirate or police.
That these impulses toward gore
loot and arbitrary power, however, do
not seriously affect him is quite evil
dent from the early age at which many
of our brilliant men have started out
on their brilliant careers. A leading
object with this subject thus mentions
that all the members of the Mckinley
cabinet started from comparatively
humble beginnings. Secretary Hay
was clerk to Lincoln; Root taught
school; Griggs was a law clerk; Hitch
cock clerk in a store; Gage at Is was q
bank clerk; Smith was compositor in
early life; Long did chores on a farm;
and Wilson at 20 was a farm hand.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls CatarTh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. HALLS Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up

The Baltimore american thinks di-
rect telephone communication between

intimacy between the two places. The
fact that the Eastern Shore is now yir-

nication with Baltimore.

FOREIGN CORPORATIONS MUST COMPLY.
Intention of Secretary of State Layton 10
Push His Demands Upon Representatives.

A despatch from Dover says: cit is
the intention of Secretary of State
Layton to push his demands upon rep
resentatives of foreign corporations
for a $50 tax into the courts unless
the representatives comply with the
law. AS not more than fifty corpora
tious which came into this State to do
business had paid the $50 fee and filed
at the State House a statement of their
affairs, Secretary Layton began an in
vestigation, and now has certified
list showing $50 foreign corporations
doing business in New Castle county,
and nearly 200 corporations at work in
Sussex. Kent county's foreign list in
cludes over fifty. Thus the State is
losing the license of 300 concerns in
New Castle county, and possibly 100
iU Sussex, which, if the law were com
piled with, would give the State an ad-
ditional revenue of $4,000.
