Indigestion

rs not only distressing complaint, Of

feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsapariila
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, OF Brockway

four wears suffered untold agony was
reduced almost TO a skeleton, and hardly
had strength TO drag myself about. All

the most delicate could be digested al
all Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an Improvement In my
condition. My appetite began TO return
and with IL came the ability TO digest
all the food taken, my strength inn

months OF faithful attention TO your
directions, / found myself q we'll

Kansas City Saloons Closed on Sunday

KANSAS CITY. Mo, July % The Police
Commissioners are finding 1t very difficult
TO enforce the Sunday law. Arrests were
first made under an old city ordinance. but
it was found 10 be unconstitutional. Then
a later ordinance was tried, but Police
Judge Boland, who has jurisdiction over
such cases, made the penalty only nomi-
nal week ago Sunday arrests were
made under the Downing law, which
was intended to be very severe, but which
in the end proved ineffective. The Police
Commissioners finally found a city ordin-
ance which Is exactly like the Downing
law, with the exception that it gives the
Police Judge the power and makes it obi
gatory upon him to revoke the license
where the accused is found guilty. Word
was given out Saturday night that arrests
would De made yesterday under the latter
ordinance. The severe penalty prescribed
in the ordinance had its effect, and there
were but few who cared to take the
chances of being obliged to suffer it. The
down town saloons were all closed In
the outlying precints the police found sew
en- saloon keepers who disregarded the
law and arrested them.

For the Ellsworth American
Excitement Among the Fishermen

The fishermen of st. Pierre are very
much excited on the subject Of a discovery
which to all appearance will revolutionize
the commerce Of the cod fish. Three
French vessels. instead of going for bait
to St. Pierre, provided themselves with
round fiat baskets having little opening
at the bottom. They plunged those has
kets into seventy aud eighty fathoms of
water, and they were very soon filed with
perriwinkles of large size which answers
for bait after the shells have been remoy-
ed.
The cod bite vigorously at the allure
ment, the result being that the boats are
soon filled. The French vessels set their
sails for France the first week in July in
stead of leaving in October as they had
done heretofore, economizing in this way
hundreds OF dollars in bait, and three
months of time.
If this new method is successful, it will
settle the present vexing questions of the
fisheries between the United States and
Canada

foundations of the city were shaken. The
skies were atiAme. and above the roar Of
the wind and rain came the crash Of thun-

stones driven like bullets before the gale.
Water poured into every basement, and
drove thousands of poor people into the
street. Every police station house was
flooded, the prisoners being compelled TO

The lightning which accompanied the
tornado and deluge was appalling. The
sky was afiame for three hours and terrible
thunder added to the terror of the night.

examination to show on the part of the
