The Shakers have made a great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever introduced. 1, immc,
diately relieves all pain and distress
after eating, builds up the feeble sys
TEN and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-cal!cd tonics. The
Cordial not only contains food already
dieested. but is digester of other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good People who use
the Cordial insure the digestion OF
what food they eat and in this way get
the benefit OF it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shak
ers have sent druggists for free distribu-
ton. contain much interesting informa-
ton on the subject of dyspepsia.

TWAS QUICK AS 4 FLASH, Fcur Men Were CorSpeS at New
 bern, Tenn. BEFORE SHOTS DIED AWAY. A Smodering Feud Famed Into Flame After
 Two Years.
THE TRAGEDY FOLLOWED THE TRIAL.
So Suddenly that Bystanders Had No Time to Interfere There Were Few Words and Sundry Shots-A Father and
 Son Share the Same Tate.

Newborn, Tenn, April 30-Shortly be- fore dark this evening the sound of a fusilade of pistols was heard on the main street of this town. Men who ran in the direction of the shooting were too late, as within ten seconds of the first shot the four participants lay dead in the street. These four are R. w. Townsend his son Beauregard, and Abb and John Fulgham.
 The quadruple tragedy was the out come of feud that started two years ago and grew out of a trivial dispute between the Townsend and Fulgham families. The trouble smouldered along without break ing out in open violence until last Friday evening, when Murray Fulgham, meet ing young Avery Townsend, began 10 abuse him. He finished by administer ing a beating to the young man with an ax handle. Young Townsend swore out a warrant charging Fulgham with as- sault and battery, with intent to Kill. Fulgham at once left the town to avoid arrest, and went up into Madison county, but his father sent for him and brought him back. People in the neighborhood were aware of the facts, and knowing thoroughly the nature of the two fam
 flies, expected that there would be se- rious trouble, but did not anticipate the tragedy of last evening.
 Young Fulgham was arrested upon his |sreturn home and gave bond. This even ing he was taken before magistrate for hearing, and as the evidence showed the assault to have been unprovokcd a fine of $50 and costs attached was inn posed There was a large crowd in the magistrates, office and no serious words passed between the opposing parties dur ing the progress of the trial.
 At the conclusion of the court bus mess the crowd moved out and near the door the Townsend and Fulgham parties came together. There were a few words then weapons were drawn and the shoot ing began. In almost an instant the wholesale killing was done and the four men lay stretched on the pavement.

verdict, saying that he would simply ac- cede to the application of Gill to have the charges of conspiracy withdrawn.
 Sir Edward Clarke then began his open ing address to the jury for the defense. He intended, he said to put Wilde in the witness box, where he would make an un- qualified denial of the charges against him. He cited Wilde's literary works and said that in no instance had his cli- ent written anything that would lead anyone to suppose him guilty of the prac- tices alleged. Sir Edward explained the ending of the Queensberry trial, saying that Wilde's counsel were entirely re- sponsible for it's abrupt termination. It became clear he said. that the jury would not convict Lord Queensberry, and he (Clarke) therefore advised Wilde to ac- cept verdict against himself.
 Wilde was called to the witness stand. He swore the evidence he had given at the Queensberry trial was absolutely [ true. He repeated his testimony upon cross-examination without variation Wilde became so eloquent as to evoke a burst of applause, causing the judge to threaten to clear the court unless silence was observed.
 Alfred Taylor. co-defendant with Wilde, was called to the stand and told of his career. He was educated at Marl- borough college. he said, and became an officer of the militia, but abandoned mil> itary life upon coming into an inheri- tance of f45, ,000. He absolutely denied the charges against him.
