The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that tmee-fourths ofall
our sufferings arise from stomach trou-
bles, that the country is literally filled
with people who cannot eat and digest
food, without subsequently suffering
pain and distress, and that many are
starving, wasting to mere skeletons, be-
cause their food does them no good, they
have devoted much study and thought tt
to the subject, and the result is this dis
covery, of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
YOUR druggist that will point out th'
way of relief at once, An investigation
will cost nothing and will result IL
much good.

BEET SUGAR.
Rapid Growth of the Industry In Nebraska
Stirs Up the Sugar Trust.

Rapid Growth of the Industry In Nebraska
stirs Up the Sugar Trust.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 5.-The growth OF
the beet sugar industry in this state
has attracted the attention Of the
sugar trust. Jobbers and dealers have
been informed that if they sell the re-
fined product of Nebraska factories the
trust will decline to sell them cheaper
grade. The result of this inhibition is
that over 100000 worth of Nebraska
made sugar is stored in warehouses in
Omaha. The matter has been laid be-
fore the Manufacturers and Consum-
ers' association, and efforts are being
made to get western jobbers to agree
20 handle the Nebraska product, re-
gardless of consequences. There is
strong home patronage sentiment In
the state, which will, it is said, favor
the Nebraska sugar makers in their
fight.
It is estimated that the years out
put of the Grand Island and Norfolk
sugar factories will reach, if not ex
ceed, value of $sOo,OOO, or nearly one
third of the total amount consumed IL

The Selection of Text Books.

Several papers in the state have re-
Gently printed articles warning the
school directors against an imaginary
book trust. The articles referred to
were evidently prompted by some of
the numerous book publishers, now
striving to get their books adopted for
use in Vermont schools, in the hope
that they may thereby influence the
directors to reject some valuable books
which would otherwise be adopted or
retained. If the directors will give the
matter consideration they will readily
discover the motive of the publishers
who originated these attacks. 1t is
strange that any one should entertain
the idea that there can be a monopoly
of the school book publishing business
since, to monopolize any branch of bus
mess, it is necessary to control the sup
ply. And in order to control the sup
ply of school, books it would be neces-
sary to obtain control of the brains of
the country, or all the paper and print
er's ink. Unless the first could be en-
shaved some bright person would break
away and write textbook; and then
some one with capital could get paper
aud ink and would publish the same
and the monopoly be broken. A trust
when formed shuts out competition.
We see no agents travelling over the
country soliciting trade for "the stand
ard sugar trust" nor for the STANDARD
oil trust" They have control of the
output and if you want their commod-
ity they say "come to us and buy at
our price" The fierce competitor in the
present school book campaign in Yer
mont where dozen or more publishers
have sent out scores of agents is album
dant proof that there is no school book
trust. 1t is to be hoped that the direc-
tors will not be influenced intheir selec-
tons by the cry: "Wolf WolfW when
there is no wolf; but will select the best
standard books without considering by
whom they are published.

which occurred Saturday at his home
in Quechee, VT. He was an efficient
clerk in drug store in this village for
several years, and when qualified he
purchased a store in Bethel, VT, with
a good business prospect and an appar-
ent promise of long life. Soon his
health began to fail and everything
had to be given up. He was an eXem-
plary young man.

Steamship CoIima Sunk.

News was received Tuesday night at
San Francisco that the steamship Co.
lima was wrecked on Monday last be-
tween Manzanilla and Acapulco. The
steamship sailed from Panama May IS
and carried 40 cabin passengers, 81
steerage, 43 Chinese and a crew of u,
making total of 1872 persons on board.
OF these only 10 were saved.
The survivors consist of five crew and
fourteen passengers and they arrived at
Manzanilla Tuesday. The Colima was
1906 tons burden and was commanded
by Captain ]. P. Taylor. Most of the
cabin passengers were bound through
to New York.
The vessel has six life boats, all of
which, it is thought, could have been
launched no matter how rapidly the
vessel sank. The officers of the COM
pany hope to hear of the safe arrival of
the other life boats.

Last Rose of Summer and "Annie

just as fine and as well rendered, and
as well received by the audience. The
presence of the lady herself was just as
pleasing to the people as the dulcet
tones to which they SO raptly listened.
The grange netted some $50 from the
entertainment.
