A tired stomach is very much like a sprained
ankle. If you suffer from any Of the symp'
toms of dyspepsia your stomach is tired. II
needs cruch. We must relieve it of all work
for time, or until it is restored to its natural
strength To do this successfully we must use
a food which is already digested outside of the
body, and which will aid the digestion of other
foods that may be taken with it. Such pro-
duct is the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
The Shakers have utilized the digestive prin.
ciples present in plants for the manufacture OF

Mrs. Elliott Zborowski is the divorced
wife of the Baron de Steurs. She was a
Miss Cary, is connected with the Aston
family, and it is said they failed to recog-
nize her until the misfortunes of Mrs.
Drayton created fellow feeling. Mrs.
Zborowski gained divorce from the
Baron in South Dakota, and the day after

owski The latter is millionaire, very
fond of sports, and one of the best horse

One of the queerest divorce cases in the
history of the country, and one which has
been generally forgotten, was fought in
the courts of Chicago i'll October OF 1864.
1t was a celebrated case at the time, the
parties being Mrs. Emelie Stewart, the
daughter OF one of Chicago's most promi-
nent men, and the Rev. Hart III. Stewart
At the trial Mrs. Stewart stated that
she had been charmed by and fell in love
with her husband through his eloquent
and fervid sermons Soon after the mar
riage, however, she said that she discover
ed that her husband had stolen his ser
mons from other pi teachers, and in conse-
quence his eloquence and ability were
myths. The trial was long one, and III,

brary with romance. 1t was the Prince
of Wales who set the fashion among core
spondents when he 'perjured himself
like a gentleman in one of the numerous
cases where he occupied an unenviable
position in the trial papers.
Coming back to the Yznaga separation,
it was long ago limited that when the final
break occurred the lady would probably
marry well known millionaire widower
who narrowly escaped serving in the dip
lomatic corps under the present admins
tration in Washington.

expects at any moment t, hear of the in

cause a sensation.
The suit will be husband against wife
The wife mad much in the way OF family
but nothing in the way of wealth. With
the husband it was the reverse. The wife
is a great beauty. A spurious baby is said
to be the interesting feature of the case.

SEQUEL TO A DIVORCE CASE
A Witness Found Beaten Almost to Death In

Redding, CAL, March 5.--Hcnrv Cum
megs, who figured conspicuously last week
in the Superior Court OF this county, in
divorce suit, and which was denied,
there not being sufficient evidence to war
rant the judge in allowing the same, was
brought into town in horrible condi-
ton. He relates his story as follows:
while sitting in my house at Mont
gomery Greek. two Indians came up, ask
ing me to take a walk up to bridge,
which they wanted to repair. We had not
gone more than 200 yards from the house
when | saw a big smoke coming out from
my barn. | ran back as fast as could,
the Indians following, and saw at glance
that coud not save the barn. and that
my house would also be burned so | ran
to the house and tried to save what
could. In attempting to come out was
struck on the head with a timber, which
dazed me, and | fell to the ground, but
not before | was frightfully burned about
my head and hands.
While lying there neighbor came up
TO where | was lying, and, with his hands
III his pockets, said: are you hurt much,
Cummegs?' | could not speak. but raised
my hands and sigiiaed him to go away,
for did not want to see him, for lie and
his wife swore TO abominabe lies in my
divorce case, and they have said that they
would get me out of their neighborhood
some day. 1t is my opinion that they
nred these Indians to burn me out. -
The divorce case last week was sensa-
tlonal in the extreme. Cummegs secured
his wife through the medium of a matri
monial ad vertisement. Officers will pro-
coed to arrest the Indians.

THE SECRET OF WEALTH is TO
BUY RIGHT.

The cost to the consumer Of almost every arti-
Gle needed for the comfort and well being of
every individual. is very largely increased by
having to pass through so many hands before it
finally reaches the user. The nearer the maker
and consumer can be brought together in the
purchases of the necessities of life, the more
money saved to the user. This is the Larkin
idea. to sell direct from the manufacturer to the
one using the goods, thereby eifectng a saving
sufficient to pay the cost of the valuable pre-
mums offered, free, which are made under
large contracts. This Company adopted this
method some years ago, II has proved so salts
factory that many thousand families buy none
other than sweet Home" Soap, which is made
of the best and purest materials to be had in
very large quantities. reaching into millions of
pounds per year. The products Of this factory
cannot be eXeelled. Their great Combination
Box has never been equalled. and any one Of the
premiums offered. viz: the Desk. Heater, Chair
OF Table is well worth the $40.
We have heard many expressions Of satisfae-
ton from those who have dealt with the Larkin
Soap Mfg Co.. and we know everyone who
orders the goods will be fully satisfied, though
the offer seems wonderful.

To his strong and unwavering faith in Uniyer-

vout Christian. and a sympathetic. loving
sister.
On June 90 1858, Alfred Terry and Mary Isa-

For several years the deceased was an invalid

Christian spirit. Death has once more claimed

the faith and hope in the justice of God and his
everlasting love. and the firm belief that beyond

support and comfort to her even in the hour of
separation.
