THE HONEST SHAKERS AND
THEIR CURE FOR DYS-
PERSIA,

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with regard to the quality of his goods
and the grocer and the butcher who gives
US short weights, is thief. However,
their knavery touches nothing but our
pocketbook. There is another wides pread
form Of Misrepresentation of far more
dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently ac-
company medicines. To guarantee IA
medicine to cure is to brand it as quacl,
product. If we can guarantee to cure
disease, then we can guarantee everlasting
life, for in a large majority Of cases people
die of disease, the proportion of violent
or accidental deaths being very small.
The Shakers have always been known
ms most upright and honorable people,
and their success in the manufacture OF
medicines has always been we'll known.
1t is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing Il very original and novel plan

These God-fearing people, whose motto
has always been "Try all things and hold
fast to that which is good,' have put upon
the market ten cent sample bottles of
their product, or sufficient to give Ill trial

prompt in its action that for the trivial
sum of ten cents person can usually de

requirements Of his case, There are form.
of dyspepsia which it won't help, but
these are very rare. In most cases the
first dose relieves all distress, and an in
crease of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have it, and the next time
you are troubled with indigestion send ou
and try this popular and successful pro.
duct. 1t represents nearly hundred
years of patient investigation and study.

Town Threatened by Forest Fires.

BRADFORD, Pa, June 1S-A terrible
forest fire is raging in the Kinzua valley.
A telephone message from Mount Jewett
stated that special train had just left
that place for Kushequa with 100 men
and all the hose that the town could spare.
About 400 men are throwing up embank-
ments and making every effort TO save
the town. The fire is advancing toward
the village and nothing, it seems, can be
done to stop its progress. Gaffney's chem
ical factory is in the direct course of the
great sea of flames and it's destruction is
almost inevitable,

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

ton at Cleveland,

A Report That stephen h. EIlsins VIII

the New York Delegates-The Iowans
VIII Not Demand Free silver.
CLEVELAND, June 1S-Many delegates
and visitors have already arrived here to
attend the National Republican league
convention which begins tomorrow.
Among those who reached the city yester-
day was Secretary Humphrey, of Chicago,
and President B. Tracy arrived today. The
Marquette club, of Chicago is coming on
a special. Senator Warner Miller is com
ing with the New York delegation, and
George Gunter, of the New York school of
economics is coming on the New York
train to answer the silvorites should oc-
casion demand IT, Professor Williams, OF
Brown university, will also be here.
The ladies reception committee havd
opened headquarters at the Hollenden,
with Mrs. Catherine H. T. Avery iu
charge. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president
of the Woman's Republican Association
of the United States, arrived at the Hol-
lenden this forenoon.
1t is now reported that Senator elect
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, has en-
tered the race for president of the league,
and that he will come to town with the
West Virginian delegation in the hopes
of winning victory against the McAlpin
forces. The New Workers are entrenched
in their belief that their candidate cannot
by any possible chance be beaten.
There is quiet but strong, undercur-
rent of sentiment favoring II. Clay Evans
of Tennessee, for president of the league
and the strength which he may develop
depends upon his willingness to allow his
friends to formally present his name be-
fore the convention.
One of the early far western arrivals il
Frank W. Bicknell, the Iowa member Of
the National league. Mr. Bicknell is the
editor of the Des Moines State Register
and is in touch with the politics of hi;
his state.
Are the people of Iowa going to de
mand free silver2" he was asked.
No sir, we are going to be very con
servative on that point 1t is not the prov
ince of this convention to formulate ol
even touch upon the policy of the Repub
lican party We stand with Senator ALI

RELIEVED OF HIS COMMAND.
Commander Ide Leaves the Alert for Dis
respect to Admiral Meade.

WASHINGTON, June 1S-Commander
George Ide, of the Alert now at Panama,
has been relieved of his command by a
cable order. He will be succeeded by
Commander Franklin Hanford at pres
ent on duty at the New York navy yard,
who will take the steamer of July 30 for
the isthmus. Commander Ide, however,
will be relieved Immediately, not being
allowed to retain his command until his
successor reaches his ship The reason
for this summary action is found in
charges preferred by Rear Admiral Meade
that the commander had treated him with
disrespect
The incident occurred at Panama last
spring. Admiral Meade and Assistant
Secretary McAdoo, while cruising in the
Caribbean sea, had touched at Colon,
and the two officials crossed the isthmus
to Panama on the railroad. Here they
met Commander Ide, and il was during
this meeting that the incident occurred
that led the admiral to prefer charges
against the commander The department
acted deliberately in the matter, making
a careful investigation into the case and
finally sending copies of the charges by
mail to Commander Ide to afford him an
opportunity to defend himself Appar-
emily his answer was not satisfactory, as
his removal from his command followed.
Commander Ide will go on waiting orders
for an indefinite period of time.

CFrom Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.)
Our representative was received very
pleasantly at 392 Alexander Street, by
Miss Alice Young, who told how since
childhood she had been held in the bond
age of pain from her back, never re-

the aches and pains disappear, she finds

How did you take this remedy ?" Miss
Young was asked by our representative
she replied that she followed directions
explicitly. Miss Young then told how the
malady affected her saying her symptoms
were: STOPPING, bending over walking
or standing any length of time always
gave me pain in the small Of my back.
l had pain in the kidneys all the time,
and if | caught cold it would always
settle there; the pain | suffered was of
a very eXhausting nature; at night l
could only lie flat on my back any other
position causing pain and suffering; the
nerves passing up my back, were affected
and this brought with it severe headaches,

MARRIAGE OF THE WATERS.
The Harlem Ship Canal Opened with Elab
crate Ceremonial.

crate ceremonial.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-The Harlem ship
canal, which connects the Hudson river
with Long Island sound, was formally
opened yesterday afternoon with mon
ster aquatic and land parade, in which
the United States army and navy, the
state militia and naval reserve, the city
police and fire departments and numerous
civic bodies were represented. The parade
was watched by So 600 or more people sta
toned along the line of march and on the
banks of the canal
The water pageant was the feature of
the demonstration. At ~ o'clock one of
the big guns of the warship Cincinnati
doomed out the signal for the divisions of
the flotilla to take place in line. The head
of the column formed about 200 yards from
shore.
When the battery of the Cincinnati gave
the opening salute of six guns there was a
rattling of chains at the railroad crossing
at the entrance of the canal. All the
vessels in the first division were in line,
and amid the screaming of whistles from
the whole fleet, and while the Cincinnati's s
guns were still booming the tug Scandi-
navian, which led the procession, swept
through the opening, closely followed by
half dozen little steam launches, which
came up in double file and shot ahead.
Then came a score or more of barges
tugs and excursion steamers The flag
ship Elaine, with the invited guests, led
the second division of the parade, and
there was another blast from the whistles
as she went through the draw. Follow
ing her were a score or more of tug boats,
most of which had been chartered for the
occasion by various organizations. Last
of all came the steam yachts. In all there
were seventy vessels in the flotilla.
The rowing clubs fell in behind the
scandinavian in the first division and
went down the river four abreast. Pass
ing through the Harlem river the water
parade made its way to the rendezvous
just off Oak Point. There the land forces
drew up and the salute from the Cincin-
natl was answered by salute on land
and the cheers of the multitude of people
gathered in the woods along East Harbor
at Oak Point.
1t was here that the members of the
Young Lady Naval guards with much
ceremony placed their hands on the kegs
carried by the Elaine, containing the
waters from historical spots, while the
waters were tumbled into the sound and
the words of the marriage of the water;
| were spoken.
