THE status of the Senatorial contest in
Illinois is not materially changed by the
death of Representative Logan of the
Illinois Legislature. The statute of the
State requires that majority of all the
members elected to the Legislature, must
vote for the person chosen as Senator. A
special election to fill the vacancy has
been ordered by the Governor, and until
the successor of the dead legislator, who
beyond doubt will be Republican, is
qualified. it is not likely that there will
be anything further done in the matter.
The deceased was no relation to General
Logan.

tai mistake. At the time Dr.Vance of Cleve-
land, performed the operation on the lacy for
the removal of cancer of the stomach he
found when too late that the poor woman had
no cancer to remove; the disease was indiges>
tion, and if she had taken the Shaker Extract
of Roots (Siegels Syrup that awful distress
at the pit of the stomach, which made the
doctors think she had cancer, would have
been removed; distress after eating, dull,
heavy feeling in the head, with pains in the
side and back all vanish after using this won
derful remedy; the tired, languid feeling gives
place to strength and vigor. Mrs. Della
Marsh writes from Pea Ridge, Benton county,
Ark, that she had dyspepsia in the worst form
for five years, and that nothing gave any re-
lief until she used the Siegel Syrup; she says
that two bottles cured her. The Shaker Tar
Capsules are good for coughs.

ONCE in every few years the Demo-

then make such a shocking misuse OF

The weather was cloudy and threat

neither side would tolerate a third

familiarity with the Indian character
He says: Middleton must achieve a
decisive victory or all the Indians will
have on their war-paint in week.
Should the half-breeds achieve a signal
victory over Middlctonthe result could
but be most disastrous. He said the
best plan of attack from, his distance
of observation, would be to weaken
the enemy works by scattering the
half-breeds by shell from front and
flank and then have Irvine fall upon
their rear with his 800 mounted po-
lice, force the enemy into disordcred
and mass them If possible,
then rake them with Gatlings
rifle shot and shell until disorder
and then storm their works. This
would doubtless cost many good lives
as the enemy are nervy and fine shots,
being trained hunters, but tho end to
be attained is SO desirable that troops
must be sacrificed, otherwise the
whole country would be swept by the
savages who are liable to go on the
war path and they would then spare
not even women or children. He
added that, whatever grievances the
half-breeds may have, when they in
cite merciless savages they are entitled
to no sympathy from christians.
