A New Discovery by the
Shakers.

For more than a hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the Cultiva-
ton of medicinal plants and sought to eX-
tract from them their healing essences.
Their labor has not been spent it vain. They
have made a discovery that will prove a
blessing to mankind. It consists of cor
dial that causes immediate relief in cases of
indigestion. The importance of this dis
COvery will be apparent when we realize
that nearly nine-tenths of our sufferings are
caused by dyspepsia or indigestion. Nearly
every person you meet has this digestive
trouble in some of its varied fOrmS-slc X
headache, distress after eating, pain ana
fulness in the chess after eating palpitatiOn
of the heart, etc, are but symptoms of in
digestion. TO relieve these sutferiugs has
been the study of the Shakers, and they
have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutaTy effect is that it causes the food
food that causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digcSted before there
Is time for it to ferment and sour on the
stomach When the food is so digested it
gives strength ana vigOr to the feeble body,
makes one feel bright and cheerful, and
makes one gain i'm flesh
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its
action that the very first dose will have a
pcrceptbly favorable result. 1t gives inn
mediate relief,
Every druggist has been sent a supply OF
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books and q

ACCESSIBILITY of taking such steps IN
a multitude of counsel there is wisdom. "
And here we would call attention to the
statement of the city debt. The bonded
debt of the CITY is 1924, 900, this is re-
duced BY the Sinking Fund to 1904
588. As, which, for a city of the size OF
Raleigh, is unusually small. The net
debt per capita of this city in 1890 was
S18.46. That of Asheville was $23.84;
of Durham $27 30; of Winston $29.2
of Wilmington $30.87 Comparing our
debt. per capita, with three of our
largest cities, the contrast is even great
err. The debt, less sinking fund IN 1890
of Philadelphia was $500; of New
York $67. So; of Baltimore $73.22. We
sincerely believe that we could do no
greater deed for our posterity than to
issue bonds to put the streets OF this,
our lovely city, in good condition. Moth
ing attracts a strangers attention quick

we may add, that we have great conf
dence in our present Street Committee.

Finally; We believe Your Honorable
body will appreciate these statements,
and we beg that each member of this
Board, and that each citizen Of the town
would make themselves thoroughly ia
miliar with the facts therein contained,
aud it shall be our purpose to keep them
constantly informed as to the State OF
the city's finances, and l can pledge for
each and every Committee to whom has
been assigned the various departments
of the citys work, that improvements
will be made as rapidly as the funds
shall be furnished.
johnson Against the Bond Issue.
Mr.. @. E. johnson, of the committee,
does not agree with the recommendations
regarding the issue Of bonds for street
improvement.
They are very easy to issue, but
they are very hard to pay" said Mr..
Johnson. "My idea is this: That as
small an amount as possible should
be appropriated by the street committee
to the necessary repairs on the streets,
such as keeping open cutters and water
ways. and drainage, and that every other
dollar at the disposal of the committee,
approximately $40, 900, shall be devoted
to permanent improvements, beginning
on the streets where there is most traffic.
In few years the city will have good
system of streets, without issuing dol
lar in bonds"

tremeiy Serious, if not Desperate.
There were last evening all sorts of
rumors touching the condition of Secre-
tary of State Octavius Coke. There
were some who said that it was not ex-
pected that he would live through the
night. In fact, during the afternoon en-
curing was made at his home by NEWS
AND OBSERVER reporter, and Mr.. Oc-
tavius Coke, Jr, reported his father TO
be very low, and that he was not able to
recognize those about him.
Yesterday afternoon, for the first time
during the three weeks illness of the
Secretary, which his many friends had
not allowed themselves to consider criti-
cal, feeling of some alarm seemed to
perYade those interested as TO the out
come, and upon this came the further in
formation from young Mr.. Coke that two
brothers of the Secretary, Messrs. John A.
and Alex Coke, prominent lawyers of
Richmond, had been telegraphed for.
DR.. Hubert Haywood was communi-
Gated with last night, and was disposed
to consider his patient some worse than
on the day before. 1t was said that DR..
HAYWOOD decided yesterday to call in
consultation DR.. Hubert Register, and
the two are bringing the best medical
skill to bear upon the case.
Meanwhile, the home was yesterday
almost besieged with callers, and the ex-
pressions of anxiety, surprise and hope
were met with everywhere on the part OF
the numberless close friends and admi-
rers of this able man and princely-
hearted gentleman.

Mr.. n B Broughton, president Of the

at his desk shaping up matters in order
to be at the opening of the meeting to-

Mr.. Broughton said Mr.. j. @. Bird
song, the Secretary of the Chaqtauqua,
went down to Red Springs last Saturday
to get everything in good shape for the
meeting,
The Chautauqua was organized at Mt.
Vernon Springs three years ago. It's
second meeting was held at the same
place. From the beginning the move
ment met with much favor. 1t is &C.
curing at Red Springs, Robson county,
this year because of the greater hotel
facilities and large tabernacle or audi
forum owned by the Presbyterians and
