A NEW DISCOVERY BY THE
SHAKERS.

For more than = hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultivation
OF medicinal plants and sought TO extract from
them their healing essences. Their labor has
not been spent in vain. They have made a dis
covery that will prove a blessing TO mankind.
u consists OF q cordial that causes immediats
relief in cases OF Indigestion. The Importance
OF this discovery will be apparent when We
realize that nearly nine-tenths Of all our suffer-
ings are caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion.
Nearly every person you meet has this digestive
trouble In SOME OF It's varied formR-sick head
ache, distress after eating, pain and fulnsss in
the chest after eating, pnlpitation of the heart,
&c, are but symptoms OF indigo estion. To ro-
ltcvc these suferings has been the study OF the
Shakers. and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such All mms-
dinte and alutary effect is that 1t causes the
food eaten 10 be dtEcsted. for II IL undgcstsd
food that causes the distress. The cordial causes
the foud to he digested before there is time for
II to ternent and sour on the stomach. When
tho food Is so digesed II gives strength md vigoT
to the feeble body, makes one feel bright and
cheerful. and makes one gain In flesh.
The Digestive Cordial In so prompt In Its ac-
tion that the very 1rat dOse viii huve a pcr-
ceptby favorable result. 1t gives Immediate
relief.
In order to prove this statement. small trial
bottles placed In the druggists' hands can be
Obtained for ten cents each. This trial bottle
will have decided beneficial effect and will
satisfy any one that the Cordial is adapted TO
his case. After trial give praise to the Shakers

Horror Of Barial Alive.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept "A strange
preclution WAS taken by Richard EllicOtt
to provide means with which To announce
his expected return to life. Failing To
arouse from death after three weeks, his
body was 10 stay laid in the grave.
Ellicott was considered wealthy ciii-
zen Of this place, lie suffered from
always entertained the horror that he
might be buried alive. i few days before
his death he told his friends of his fear
and requested them to carry out he plans
which he then made known. His body
was placed in n casket, inside OF which
was located an electric baton. The but
ton was placed near where his right hand
lay.
4 wire was attached to this button and
il connected with an electric bell placed
i'm the sections house. Eilicott said his
body should lie in the cemetery vault for
this period, he would touch the button
and ring up the sexton, near at hand.
He could then have been speedily remov-
ed from the coffin. He said if he had not
come out of the eternal sleep in three
weeks his remains should he removed
from the vault and consigned to the grave.
The three weeks since Ellicott's death
expired to-day. There had been no signs
of returning life. The electric bell in the
sexton's home had no: been rung, al
though sharp ear was constantly turn
ed toward it. The remote possibility Of
IFS being rung had a canny influence in
the sections home, and the bell was look
ed upon with some superstitious awe.
The friends of the dead man to-day had
the remains removed from the vault.
The electric wire was cut close 10 the
coffin, and it was buried in the family
lot in the cemetery.

Congressman Meyer, ofths First Louisi-

saying of the revolt against Democracy
of the sugar planters of his State: 1T
may mean that Republican delegation
will be sent to the next Congress from
Louisiana and that Republican presiden-
tial electors may be chosen two years
from now. The Democratic Congress has
dealt shamefully with the great interests
of Louisiana, after repeatedly promising
II sustain il. The party has received
strong and consistent support from the
State for many years, and the first time
it secured complete control of the govern
ment proceeds TO inflict upon Louisiana
the hardest blow she was ever given by
legislation. We have not only been dealt
unfairly with, but have been deceived; in
a word, buncoed. We were promised in
the presidential campaign that the sugar
industry should not be crippled. Then
when the Tariff bill was To he amended
i'm the Senate :here We definite promise
To our senator's that the bounty should be
continued for this year. The crops of this
year were started on that understanding.
investments have been made on that
basis yet the party to which the State has
given its undivided support enacts bill
that will drive many of its prosperous
business men TO bankruptcy"

Victory.

AUGUSTA, Ne, sept. I0.-The victorious
trumpeting of the Republican elephant
is sounding throughout Maine tonight,
and its giant footprints are plain in the
land. Ii has been a good day for Repub-
licans and a correspondingly had one for
Democrats, but the result was not alto
gether unforeseen. To rain and general
apathy is due the light vote, but returns
have been received from over 100 cities
and towns and these indicate that the
state has reelected GOV. Cleaves (Repub-
lican) over Charles +. Johnson Demo
craft by majority which will exceed
5000, the largest in the history of the
party.
The Republicans have carried every
county i'm the state, and at II O'Clock il is
estimated that the legislature will have
a working Republican majority of l25,
which insures the recollection of Senator
William +. Frye.
Hon. Thomas Il. Reed has been re-
elected to congress by plurality cstima-
ted at 10000. Hon. Nelson Dingley, Hon.
Seth III. Milligan and III. Boutelle are also
reelected To congress by niajorities rang
ing from 5000 TO 9,G1.
The total vote will probably exceed no.
