An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects Of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFOREIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
. them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectuaIy,
/. dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
rnanently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities Of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

TO BE TRIED IN TWO STATES

While R. Wister Ewing, a well-known
young business man of Dover, was going
through the Kent County jail few days
ago he saw William H. Decker, who is
awaiting trial on the charge of stealing a
horse and carriage from j. H. Ross, of
Hazlettville. Mr.. Ewing thought he
identified the prisoner as being the man
who had stolen horse from Thomas
Kavanaugh, of West Grove, Pa, his
former home, about seven years Ego.
He communicated with Mr.. Kavanaugh,
and the latter went to Dover and posi-
lively identified the man. Decker will
now have to stand trial for the theft of
the Pennsylvania horse after he has
served his term here.

BoTK1N CASE GOES OVER

Judge Cook Saturday decided to con
tinue until July 18th the case Of Mrs
Cordelis Botkin, charged with the killing
of Mrs. Dunning of Dover, by sending
through the mail poisoned CONNECTIONS.
Mrs. Botkin's counsel pleaded that
the papers for carrying the case to the
highest court on the question of iuris-
diction are not yet ready, her chief
counsel being incapacitated by an acci-
dent on Monday last. He said the de-
fence would first petition the Superior
Court for defendants release on writ of
habeas corpus, which would probably be
denied. The appeal would then be taken
to the Supreme Court and from there the
Federal Courts.
District Attorney Byington opposed
the motion for a continuance. He con-
tended that the defence had been given
ample time to prepare all the papers
needed to appeal to the Federal Courts
and he thought the case should be per-
emptorily set for trial. Mrs, Botkin was
in court, attended by her sister.

Milton il Not Slow

An incident occurred this week which
is being quoted to show that Milton is
not slow. Lumber was needed for brick
sheds and it was not on hand in the local
yards. Teams were sent to the woods,
the lumber cut, hauled to Milton, sawed
and work on the building commenced.
In ten hours after the order was given
the lumber had been cut and the build.
ing erected. Milton believes this beats
the record for quick work.

STAR ROUTE DELIVERY

Edward ]. Fuller, assistant superinten.
dent of the railway mail service, was
in Wilmington last Friday evening max
| ing the final arrangements for the mail
star route box delivery which went into
effect in Delaware and Maryland on July
1st. This will be great thing for the
farmers living along the route and will be
great saving to them. Heretofore they
have had to pay man to deliver them
their mail or go to the post Office after it.
Now any person living on or near the
route and not within the corporate limits
Of any town or within so rods of any post
| Office, who desires his mail deposited into
q box on the line of the route by the
carrier on said route may provide and
erect suitable box on the roadside, To-
Gated in such manner as to be reached
as conveniently as practicable by the
carrier, and such person shall file with
the postmaster at the post Office to which
his mail is Addressed which shall be one
of the two post offices on the route on
either side of and next to the box) a re-
quest in writing for the delivery Of his
mail to the carrier on the route for de-
posit into said mail box, at the risk of
the addressee.
1t shall be the duty of the postmaster
if every such post Office, upon written
order from any person living on or near
the route, TO deliver to the proper mail
carrier for that route any mail matter,
except registered mail, with instructions
as to the proper mail box into which
said mail matter shall be deposited but
no mail matter so delivered to carrier
for deposit shall be carried past another
post Office on the route before being de-
posted into mail box.
The carrier will be required to receive
from any postmaster on the route any
mail matter that may be intrusted to
him, outside Of the usual mail bag, and
shall carry such mail matter to and de-
posit it into the proper boxes placed on
the line of the route for this purpose;
such service by the carrier to be without |
charge to the addresses.
The mail carriers must be able to read |
and write the English language and be of
sufficient intelligence to properly handle
and deposit the mail for boxes along the !
routes.
The department does not prescribe any
particular design of box to be used for
this service, but the person providing a
box should see that it is of such char
acter as to afford ample protection to his
mail. If there is lock attached, key
is not to be held by the carrier, as he is
to deposit the mail into the
box through an opening SO arranged as
not to admit of the mail being extracted
from the box thereby. The box should
be SO located on the roadside that the
;arrier can deposit mail therein without
eaving his vehicle.
The carrier is not required to collect
nail from the boxes, but the law provides
hat every carrier of the mail shall re-
'eive any mail matter presented to him.
t properly prepaid by stamps, and de-
iver the same for mailing at the next
'ost office at which he arrives, but that
10 fees shall be allowed him therefor.
