"DO 1T TODAY"

Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day is now gen.
orally presented in this form: "Do

vice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold
with which you have been strug-
Cling for several days, perhaps
weeks. Take some reliable remedy
for it to. day-and let that remedy
be DIR. Boschee's German Syrup,
which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of
it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and its continued
use for a few days will cure you
completely. No matter how deep
seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your
lungs, German Syrup will surely
effect a cure-as it has done before
in thousands of apparently hopeless
cases of lung trouble. New trial

RECOLLECTIONS OF A MOSBY
GUERRILLA,

We understand is the title of a
new serial which is to begin i'm the
September number of Munsey' S
Magazine, and promises to be the
most interesting and stirring con-
tribution TO the history of the Civil
War that has yet been handed down
to us from that eventful period.
The author, John W. Munson, was
a member of Mosby's famous Parti-
Fan Rangers.
Mr.. Munson takes up his story
from the day he began his tramp
from Richmond one hundred and
twenty miles TO the Blue Ridge
Mountains, where he joined the
Mosby Band at the residence of Mr.
Blackwell, near Markham Station,
in 1863, and carries it to the close
of the war, describing all Of the
sensational fights, raids, hand to
hand conflicts and engagements
that befell the little band. which at
no time numbered over three hum
dred men. Heretofore unpublished
pictures will illustrate each INSTALL
ment.

THE EVOLUTION OF A
HUMP.

The power of character, of fixed
and determined devotion TO an ideal
to win the rewards of the world,
even love itself, is effectively shown
in a story by Charles Fleming En-
bree, called 1.-The Chump," in the
September McClure's. The hero,
lowly born. a "chump' in all that
outwardly bespeaks the man, sees
his immediate duty and does 1T,
fixes his eyes on his high desire
and moves unwaveringly to it. The
story rouses the sincere sympathy
and interest of the reader who fol-
lows Martin Hoge through paths
low and high with keenest appre-
citation and rejoices with him in
his final triumph over his environ
ment, over himself. The evolution
of The Chump, his rise to genuine
grandeur, is q story full of human
nature and told In simplicity and
strength. 1t is thoroughly Amer
lean, a true reflection of an inter-
esting phase of life in the Middle
West. Lucius Hitchcock furnishes
the excellent illustrations.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions i'm the cure Of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
Is made certain by German Syrup,
so is good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of consumptives
there, the few who are benefited
and regain strength are those that
use German Syrup. Trial bottle,
25c; regular size, Toe. At all drug

THE REALM OF ENCHANT-
MENT.

when nature sends out her
CALL" writes Samuel Hopkins
Adams in the September Mcclure s,
"he who is bred next to the ground
must answer in every fiber of his
being" In his story, The Realm
of Enchantment," Mr.. Adams
voices this call of nature, and his
sympathetic readers must answer
in every fiber of their being. Over
two tried and world-weighted bust
ness men in the crowded city the
great wizard Romance waves his
mystic wand, and through the
darkness of the night they are
guided by the light that never was
on sea or land, the radiance of the
dear days far-gone, but unforgotten,
into the Realm of Enchantment,
boys in spirit and boys in deed.
Mr.. Adams makes a simply bully
story out of the adventures of these
piscatorial poachers in the city
park, and in closing points
healthy moral as we'll as adOrns his
tale. He sounds the call back to
nature and first principles which
no country-born man or woman can
hear without response.

RAILWAY TALK AT MT. AYR.
Men Promoting Electric Line are
Received with Enthusiasm.

The Mt. Ayr News contains the fol-
lowing account of the visit of the men
who are projecting the electric line
from st. Joseph, Mo-, to Des Moines,
la. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Mordaunt
made similar statements at that place
to those he made at Creston, and that
he impressed the Mt. Ayr peoplesas
favorably as he did those of Creston.
Following is the account in the News:
"We expect to make survey within
thirty days from now, and be running
trains through Mt. Ayr within year."
This statement was made to Mt. Ayr
citizens at Bevis Bros. office last even
ing by f. S. Mordaunt, Chicago bond
broker. Mr.. Mordaunt, Wallace Hub
bard, the Albany electric railway pro-
moter, G. F. Terhune, the Maryville
civil engineer, and number of Mr..
Mordaunt's Office men from Chicago,
have got this far on their way from ST.
Joseph to Des Moines in their tour of
inspection. They went northward this
morning.
The proposed road that Mr.. Hubbard
| is promoting turns out to be something
a good ways ahead Of trolley line. If
the men Mr.. Mordaunt represents take
hold of the project they will see that
railroad is built which will in all re-
spects be equal to the ordinary steam
railroad and which in fact may use
steam power. The road is proposed to
cost $4,000 mile, and to have grades
OF not to exceed one per cent. Should
the road be an electric one the company
| will run electric light and power plants
at all important towns along it's route.
| Within few days an accountant will
! be along the line to get from each
town an idea of the amount of freight
and business done over existing roads.
| He will be followed in a few weeks by
party Of twenty-five or thirty surveyors,
who will cover twelve or fifteen miles a
day. Then the promoters will be back
| to meet the business men and farmers
and see what inducements will be offer
ed for the building of the road. Big
bonuses are not asked, however. When
someone in last nights meeting suggest
ed chat tax in this county would not
produce 100000, Mr.. Mordaunt replied,
"We don't want one-fourth of that, nor
one-eighth of that amount. We do want
to get some small help from just as
many people as possible, however, in
order to get the whole community inter
ested in the road
1t was stated by Mr.. Mordaunt that
Chicago and New York companies will
take all of the bonds while certain
railway will take rs per cent of the
stock. Good railway connections along
| the line are assured.
1 Comment this morning among bust
ness men who attended last nights
meeting is to the effect that the present
prospect for another railway is much
more promising than ever before. This
latest proposition has taken Mt. Ayr's
eye.

The Smyrna Town Council at its
regular session on Friday made an ex-
cellent step in the way of town pro-
gress when they granted the right of
way to the Peninsula Railway Com
pany to construct, operate and main
tain a trolley line through the town
limits on their way from MiddletOwn
to Clayton. The ordinance, as adopted,
is a fair and equitable measure, and
while it grants the trolley all they
want, at the same time it protects the
interests of the citizens of Smyrna.
Whether the trolley will be built or
not remains to be seen. The town of
Smyrna has done its part and done it
well and we only await developments.
A trolley properly constructed with
a strong financial backing, should be
a good thing for Smyrna and vicinity
and in a commercial way should add
very materially to the growth and
prosperity of our town. Any induce
ment that will draw trade here, make
the people feel that our town is a good
place to deal, cannot help but be bene.
fetal. In Pennsylvania towns it has
been demonstrated that the trolley is
one of the best agencies for the pro-
motion of business industry and thrift.
Why should 1t not be in Delaware?
Smyrna also needs to encourage home
industries and to use every induce
ment to have factories locate here.
We have the natural advantages and
the facilities in both rail and boat
transportation, and it needs but little
.,eGtiEitZ. on the part of our capitalists
and busine ss men to offer proper in
ducements. Let us have good, live
home industries employing both mel
and women, along with the trolley
and Smyrna will awake from its
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and be one o
the most active towns in the Stat
south of Wilmington.
