Who is Your Best Friend

Your stomach, of course. WHY? Be.
cause if it is out of order you are one Of
the most miserable creatures living. Give
1t fair, honorable chance, and see if it is
not the best friend you have in the end
Don't smoke In the morning. Don't drink
in the morning. If you must smoke and
e.rink, wait until your stomach is through
with breakfast. You can drink more and
smoke more in the evening, and it will tell
on you less. If your food ferments and
does not digest right; if you are troubled
with heartburn, dizziness of the head,
coming up of the food after eating, bilious
ness, indigestion or any other trouble OF
the stomach, you had best use Green's Au-
gust Flower, as no person can use it with
out immediate relief.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY,
A Mercenary Brute Stays His Wife in
Perfectly Cold Blood.

CHICAGO, February 6th.-The throat OF
Mrs. Matthias Busch was slit from ear to
ear tonight by her husband, a saloon
keeper, and she died moment later at the
feet of her murderer. The deed was done
at their home, in the presence of their
child and an aunt of the victim. Busch
was arrested and taken in and while the
blood was yet squirting from the corpse a
few feet distant, just as he was about to
slay his little daughter.
The tragedy was horribly cold-blooded
and premeditated. 1t had its origin in the
coveteousness of Busch, who had failed in
his desire to control $4,000 worth of real
estate that had been willed his wife by her
fat her.

GOOD GENERALSHIP,
A Polish Priest in Shenandoah Prevents
a Riot Yesterday


SHENANDOAH, February 6th.-One power
full influence in preserving the peace of the
town this evening was the calling of a
Polish meeting at Robbins Opera House
by Rev. Father Waluski, of the Greek
Catholic Church. He timed his meeting
for five o'clock, the hour when the trouble
would begin, if it all, and he held his
audience for nearly and hour and a halt
explaining to them the tenor of the
proclamations issued, the results that would
follow acts of violence, and the future evil
that would be entailed on their cause as
workingmen.
The priest is very popular with the men,
is Master Workman of their Assembly,
the largest in the town, and his words i'm
pressed the men very forcibly.

LIvERMoRE, February CHA survey is
being made for the railroad from Liver
more to the coal mines. The party is in
charge of Engineer T. Newberry. The
road will be about eight miles and owned
by the Livermore Coal Mining Company.
At the mine they are sinking a shaft on a
4-foot vein, and expect to begin sinking
and tunneling on the S-foot vein to-mor-
row. Within twenty days the daily out
put is expected to be 30 tons and within
sixty days $50 TONS
These mines have lain dormant for wears,
but the present high prices for coal will
cause their development, and, with rail-
road facilities, will secure a good market.
The coal is superior to any coast coal ex-

SAN Francisco, February 6th.-Tele-
grams received here to-day report terrible
wreck and loss of life on the Washington
Territory coast, the first serious affair of
the kind in many years. The ill-fated
vessel was the British bark Abercorn, an
iron craft, en- route from England to Port
land, Oregon.
1t appears that she arrived on the 1st in
stant, but was unable to cross the Colum-
bia river bar, and put to sea in a heavy
storm to await more favorable opportu-
nifty to enter. The gale drove her to the
northward, and early on the next morning
she was wrecked on the coast near Grav's
Habor. The sea was so high that the of
tcers and crew could not leave the vessel.
They tried to do so, but without avail, and

Except two seamen and the apprentice.
They were saved by some Indians who
happened to be on hand when the wreck
occurred. The names of the saved are not
known, nor is it yet known how many
lives were lost. 1t is supposed that there
were twenty-seven men on board, and the
loss OF life is placed at twenty-fou men,
The disaster occurred on point Just out
side the south entrance to the harbor. The
surf was so high that no one could enter it
unlll tne morning OF the I'd instant. AS
there is no life saving station near the
place of the disaster, the canoes of the In
dians were used as soon as possible
The Abercorn was a comparatively new
vessel. She was constructed at Glasgow
only two years ago. and registered ,262
tons net. Her length was 1881 feet. The
vessel was worth $65 900, and the cargo of
railroad iron. without the duty paid was
worth $50, 600. The loss is total, but is
fully covered by insurance in English COM
panies.
