stop and 90 down with the ship. The
captain also stopped small boy from get

were sticking out of the Vessels side. and
was filling fast with water but could not

LOCAL NOTICES.


What the shakers Believe About Disease.
They have learned from many years eX-
perience that nine-tenthS of all the diseases
of mankind arise from imperfect digestion
of food; for this reason they have spent
years of labor in preparing the Shaker EX-
tract of Roots lSiegerS Syrup and it Ope
rates like charm in all eases of indiges-
ton.
1t is not what we eat that makes Us
strong. but that which We digest This is
the doctrine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers.
People who are weak and languid. tired and
feeble often wonder. The reason is that
the food eaten does not give strength be
cause it is not digeSted. The Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots lSiegei's Syrup will restore
the digestion to healthy condition and
drive away the headache, the pains in the
side and back. the distress after eating and
make the sleep afford rest.

A BAR TENDERS BREAK.
Frank Reifsnitier Plants Dave Sunlist ON
the Sidewalk for Calling Him AN

From sundays Edition.
About II O'Clock Saturday p. IN. quite a
little excitement was created by quiet
little knOckdown that occurred at the Ell
trance of the Arcade Frank ReifSnder,
the I.agUnda house bar tender. met Dave
NunliSt. the corpulent beer jerker of the
Arcade bar and Reifsnider flung at his
brother knight "f the corkScrew an inSinu-
atiug gibr about a rather embarrassing rpl-
SOde. occurring some time ago, of which he
was the hero. NunliSt demonstrated that
this thing had grown mumOtomOuS from un-
cea sing repetition and 0pined that il was
hardly the proper caper 10 keep on eternally
inding away at a man when he had al
ready acknowledged the corn. TheTeupOm
his turmentor informed him that he was the
southern extremity of a horse bound in a
nurtherly direction, though he expressed his
sentiment III language somewhat more
terSe.
You're another" replied NunliSt with
ready wit.
B This seemed to arouse Riffsnider'S wrath.
for he suddenly turned and felled his 0pp"-
mrmt Ia the ground with heavy blow, and
walked away. Nunli>t was considerably
stunned by the fall, but was not seriously
injured.
The above is NunliSt'S version of thu
story. At last accounts the police had moi
captured Riefsnider. and his absence wa,
an inSurmUuntable difficulty in the way ot
interviewing him. However. his nature is
by no means a quarrelS0me one. and tho>'
who know him think there must have beeI
some deeper cause for the row.
