An edict has been issued that no
free-coinage agitator can have an
office under this administration.
Fred K. Bastian, editor of the Demo-
cratic organ at Fulton, H., and one
of the most influential leaders of the
party in that section, was Endorsed
by Senator Palmer, the members of
the Illinois State Committee, the
late Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, and good many other men
of similar influence for the postoffice
in his town, but when President
Cleveland discovered that Mr.
Bastian's paper had been printing
editorials of the sixteen to one
variety he promptly threw the
, recommendation into the waste
basket and told Senator Palmer
that no hereto of that sort could get
an appointment from him.

Hanke, the yen of Kotshi, in Japan,
has received a gift of 800 from the
government on account of the I'M
usually exemplary behavior OF the
villagers. For over two hundred
years there have been neither quar-

crimes have occurred, the taxes have
always been paid on time, and when
ever misfortunes have come the
villagers have helped each other
without calling on the authorities.

A POLL of the Republican National
Committee developed the following
presidential preferences: For Mckin-
ley, 10; Reed, IL; Allison, 9; Morton,
8; Cameron, 4; Harrison, 2; Cullom,
/; Davis, 2; Bradley, 1; Spooner, 1,
and Elkins 2. The Republicans
usually trot out a dark horse on the
home stretch that takes the honors,
which practice makes it exceedingly
difficult to prognosticate with any
degree of accuracy upon the outcome
of their National Conventions.

When person is losing flesh and wasting
away there is cause for alarm. Nothing so
worries physician Consumptives would
never die if they could only regain their
usual weight. In fact there would be no
consumption if there were no wasting of the
system. The cause of this loss of flesh is a
failure to properly digest the food eaten.
Nine-tenths of all our diseases date to some
arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus-
ing the food we eat to be digested so as to do
good, for undigested food does more harm
than good The Cordial contains food al
ready digested and digester of food as well.

There seems magic in the very

Her father was Sir Robert Laurie

Jean Riddell.
