threats Of self-destruction and her financial re-
verses and disappointments as sure proof that
she committed suicide. having killed the two
children. and then leaped with them into the

RIvERHEAD. Dec. l3.-William Seaman. 90
years old, a prisoner In the county jail, attempt
ed to take the life OF a fellow inmate by suffo-
eating him last night. His intended victim was
an Italian named Gunello Liberati. who is await
ing trial for a murderous assault on a fellow
countryman at Rocky Point. Seaman had quar-
relied with the Italian recently. They met in
the corridor, and Seaman began pounding him.
Seaman broke one of the bones OF his hand in
the conflict. He declared then that he would FIX
Liberati.
Last, night Seaman occupied q cell on the
ground floor. Directly overhead was the Italian.
Taking some straw from his bed and what
paper he could find, Seaman stuffed this into
the airshaft leading TO Liberatis cell.
The Italian was asleep. He awoke almost suf-
located and was heard to give a faint cry and
fall upon the floor.
The cry OF " Firel' rang through the halls,
and the yell that went up from the panic
stricken prisoners was terrific.
Warden William ii. Rafford and Sheriff John
n. O'Brien hurried to the scene. The upper floor
OF the prison was filled with sitting smoke.
Libersatl was found unconscious. 1t was with
great difficulty that he was restored TO con-
sciOusness.
Seaman was placed in irons. He will be taken
to Sing sing Tomorrow, having been sentenced
To serve a term OF two years for rObblng a yacht

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.
II consists of a cordial that causes immediate
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 its varied forms sick head
ache, distress after eating, pain and fulness IN
the chest after eating, palpitation OF the heart,
&C, are but symptoms of indigestion. To re-
lleve these sufferings has been the study of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. TIL reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an imme-
diate and salutary effect Is that IL causes the
food eaten to be digested. for IT is undigested
food that causes the distress. The cordial causes
the food to be digested before there Is time for
II TO ferment and sour on the stomach. When
the food Is SO dlgested II gives strength and viRor

cheerful, and makes one gain In flesh.

any one that the Cordial Is adapted to his case.
