Indigestion

IS not only a distressing complaint, Of
l itself, but, by causing the blood to
become deprayed and the system en-
feebled, is the parent Of innumerable
malades. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even

is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of Brockway
Centre, Mich
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds Of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
ALL Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that l took seemed to do
any permanent good until l 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 it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength I'M
proved each day, and after a few
months OF faithful attention TO your
directions, l found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease OF life."

OPEN SESSIONS.

Senator TELLER is performing a most
praiseworthy service in perpetually
nagging the senate on its refusal to
abolish executive sessions. MIR, TEL
LER has resolution pending before
that body proposing a change in the
rules so as to consider executive nomi-
nations in open session. He hasn't
been able to get consideration OF the
resolution. but it is observable that
every time he calls it up the proposed
reform has shown greater strength. 1t
is growing movement, and the more
it is agitated and discussed the more it
will grow. Mr.. Teller is pursuing a
sound policy in keeping the matter con-
stantly before the attention of the SEN
ate, for in that way he is keeping it he
fore the country. and the force of popu-
lar sentiment will in time compel the
stitf-necked senate to yield the point.

The article headed SIS It Land

bill through congress for the relief of a
few hundred settlers on land that
should have been theirs in all fairness
long ago, and probably would have

we simply authorized him to assist us in
procuring our land, we subscribing only
our fair share of the expense account III
perfectly legitimate manner. But
your informant is inspired by his own
Interests to make the assertion that our
representative has us in his tolls, by
running a store. making contracts and
importing hundreds of people from
Maine, intimating, of course, that we
are all bound to work in the interests of
some company in the lumber business.
We cheerfully invite investigation, and
challenge your correspondent to name

the location of this mans store. or
TO name dozen settlers from Maine.
We are under contract or pecuniarv
obligations to TO man, and it comes with
poor grace for an Ashland man to cry
''land thief" as it is we'll understood
that our greatest annoyance. comes from
lumber companies that begin to realize
that their opportunities for coming mill
ions are getting beautifully less year by
year, and the Ashland ring is losing its
grip. We have faith that justice will
prevail from the fact That it is getting
more difficult for capital to buy votes or

ahall be ready to meet. Fair play and
impartial treatment from the press are
all we ask. We have no money, but rely

SHEETS Is A sooUNDREn.
He Murdered the Man Whose
Home He DishOnored.

LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. S.-The facts of
the killing of James Luyton by ex-
County Attorney Sheets yesterday, and
the cause of the quarrel between the
two men, became known to-day. Luy-

Last August he married the fifteen
year-old sister of Mrs. Cohern, and after
a brief bridal tour returned here in
sea CHI of work. stopping at the house of
his brother-in-law, Robert Cohern.
There the young bride met the ex-
county attorney, Sheets. An attach
ment sprang up between them and Luy-
ton was induced to go to California.
where maSOnS' wages were represented
to be much higher than they are here.
During her husbands absence Mrs.
Luyton accompanied Sheets to Kansas
City and lived there with him as his
wife. LuytOn returned unexpectedly a
few days ago, and, learning of his wife's
infdelity, determined to have revenge
upon her betrayer. Luyton called at
Sheets Office several times, but did not
find him until yesterday evening. Then
occurred the tragedy as told in last
nights dispatches.
The coloner held an inquest over
Luyton'S body this afternoon. The tes-
timOny of the witnesses confirmed the
story of the crime as already told. The
jury returned verdict this evening in
accordance with the facts.

dresses stylishly, although she looks
mere child. She was one of the wit
nesses before the coroner's jury. and
admitted her illicit relation With Sheets
before the tragedy. Sheets is held on
warrant for murder in the first degree.

RODE HOME ON A RAIL.
A Buckeye Brute Taught a Lesson
by Regulators.


EAST LIVERPOOL, o.. Jan. S.-Hooks-
town, Beaver county, Pa, was thrown
into the widest excitement last
night, by the appearance of a
gang of regulators in that quiet little
village. They called at the residence
of Johnston Calhoun, one of the
oldest and wealthiest and best known
residents of Beaver county, and de-
manded he make amends for an alleged
brutality to his wife. They calleci upon
him to come out on the street. He first
refused, but was finally induced to
make his appearance. The regulators
then seized him, and, placing him on
rail, started on a march through the
streets of the town. The constable and
others attempted to interfere, but the
men were determined. A constant
fuSilade of shooting from revOlverS and
shotguns was kept up while they
marched through the streets and around
the square where Calhoun resided.
Calhoun is very large man. At first
he fought desperately, then he pleaded
for mercy, appealed to his neighbors to
protect him and finally offered the
name to release HIM. They refused his
money and bounced him on rail around
the town for nearly half an hour. and
only quit when their strength gave
out. By this time he was badly
hurt and terribly frightened. Upon
his promising to treat his wife better in
the future he was allowed to go home.
Calhoun is over sixty years of age and
his wife is young and quite handsome,
a nd it is said he has been inSanely and
unjuStly Jealous of her.
