disposed to give things away. When, there
fore, the Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
stated that any one could get bottle of Di-
gestive Cordial by calling in person at their

talk
One Of the leading dailies of the Metro
polls sent a reporter to find out what was
meant 1t developed that the preparation
in question has proven beneficial in so
large a majority Of cases that nine-tenths
of the people who are sufficiently anxious
to call for a sample, find so much relief that
they continue the products use and tell
their friends about it, As a result very
large demand has been created
The Shakers have long record of success
as inventors and their various medicinal
products have always enjoyed high repu-
tation. The Digestive Cordial is not only
nourishtng in itself but it dtgests other
foods when taken as directed
Sleepless nights, spots before the eyes and
a sense of heaviness after eating, loss Of
weight and general weakness are among
the common symptoms of Indigestion which
it promptly relieves, and it is gratifying to
know that such positive and harmless
remedy as the Digestive Cordial should have
at last been devised.

gestive Cordial is adapted to your case try
a small bottle. It's effect is immediate. For

THE GORDONS.
A Beautiful Young woman whose
Fast ways Have Long
Been Known.

Mrs. Gordon was Miss Nellie Bush, of
Louisville, sister of Sam Stone Bush,
who was for time manager Of the
Southern Magazine. She was sister Of
Mrs George Berry, of Frankfort. About
ten years ago she was married to Gordon
who was at the time clerk at the Gait
House. The marriage was the result Of
an elopement. Later Gordon became
clerk OF the Kenyon hotel at Frankfort
and his wife lived in the hotel with him.
During the constitutional convention
there was much gossip about her, and
tlIsrs was an episode in the hotel in
which she was involved which created a
small sensation. Gordon was inclined
to dissipation, it was believed, on account
of his wifes waywardness, Afterward
he became, during the Worlds Fair, a
clerk at the Palmer house in Chicago.
His wife repeatedly visited Louisville
and Frankfort she was very beauti-
full woman, the mother of three chill
dren. Lately he has been employed as
manager of the Merchants Advice
agency, with an Office in the Columbia
building in Louisville.
Gordon was not considered a man of
great force of character. 1t has long
been believed that he could not be ig-
norant of his wife's habits aud that he
would not resent them. This estimate
OF him seems to have been serious
mistake.

Arch d. Brown was the eldest son and
child OF Gov. John Young Brown. He
was thirty-two years old and was reared
at the family home in Henderson. Dur
ing the first Cleveland administration he
was in the internal revenue service under
Collector Hunter Wood and was station

this time he was married TO Miss Virgie

beautiful girl. After he retired from the
revenue service he was reporter on the

THE STRUGGLE.
CURED I'm the blood .Bcspat-
tered Room.

Only Gordon can tell OF the awful
struggle that occurred in the front room
upstairs, where Apsh D. Brown Was
found dead, lying in heap beside the
dresser and under an open window. All
over the walls were great spots of blood,
and the furniture was tossed about in
every direction. The terrible struggle
for life was fierce one. From all APP
pearances Gordon must have tiptoed in
his stocking feet to the room where
Brown and the woman were, they un-
conscious Of their danger, had not locked
the door, and the first knowledge they
had of Gordon's presence was when he
stepped into the room and confronted
them as they lay upon the bed. That
they were upon the bed is evidenced by
the fact that the sheets are stained with
blood, and Gordon's first shot probably
struck Brown in the right shoulder as he
lay on the bed.
He then fred again, possibly before
Brown could arise, as Matte Mattingly
says there were two shots and then a
long interval. Then Brown arose from
the bed, and, pistol in hand, attempted
to protect his life. His first shot evil
IDENTIFY missed Gordon, as there is hole
OF 32-caliber bullet in the door, passing
from the inside to the outside. Then
commenced that dreadful hand to hand
struggle between the two men, crazed
with passion, which ended in Gordon
shooting Brown five times and then
killing his wife with Browns pistol.
Brown was shot five times, twice just
above the left nipple, once in the center
Of the breast, once in the right shoulder
and once in the right ear, the built PEN
etrating his skull. He fell in heap in
corner, just under an open window.
Then, according to the best accounts,
Gordon turned Browns pistol, which he
had wrested away from the latter during
the struggle, upon his wife, who had
been silent witness to the tragedy He
shot her once, and she ran from the
room. AS she was leaving the room he
fired the remaining load in the pistol at
her and she fell. Quickly she recovered
and ran down the stairs, through the
back hall and into the back yard, where
she fell upon the cellar door, face down
wards. She was clad only in chemse
and was literally covered with blood
Some friends laid counterpart over the
form, and she lay in that condition until

This failure during July, 1894, was
brought about by extraordinary circum-

bridge over by using their customers
money until times changed, and the
