EXPLAINED.
CONFIDENCE IN THEIR PRODUCT
LED THE SHAKERS To MAKE An
UNUSUAL OFFER.

People Of this day and generation are
not disposed 10 give things away. When
therefore the Mount Lebanon Shakers re-
Gently stated that any one could get a
bottle Of Digestive Cordial by calling in
person al their New York office. it excited
great deal of talk.
one Of the leading dailies of the Metrop-
oils sent reporter TO find out what was
meant 1t developed that the prepara-
ton in question has proven beneficial
in so large d 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 a long record OF sue
cess as inventors and their various medic
inal products have always enjoyed a high
reputation. The Digestive Cordial is not
only nourIshing in itself but it digests
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 indiges-
ton which 1t promptly relieves, and II is
gratifying to know tat such a positive
and harmless remedy as the Digestive
Cordial should have at last been devised.
The common idea about consumption is
that it is lung trouble. but this is not
all. Why is II that the comsumptive
gets thinner and thinner until he has
wasted 10 a skeleton Because the food
he eats does not nourish him. 1t is not
digested
The first sign of the appearance of
consumption is growing thin, wasting;
this is before the cough; before the ex-
pectoration. Stop the wasting and re
covery will follow in the incipient sta
ges and the disease will be retarded In
advanced cases.

Harry Hayward Convicted Of MUIR
der in the First Degree. 81
The Jury Returns It's vsrdict-Haywsrd
Takes 1t Calmly-Witnesscs for
the Defense Arrested
for Perjury.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 11.-On
the night of December 3 last Catherine
Cling was murdered by Claus A. Blixt
at the instigation of Harry T. Hay
ward, who at the moment the murder
was committed was occupying seat
at the Grand opera house. Friday
the jury, after it had settled
down to rest after dinner, took
one ballot and found Hayward guilty
of murder in the first degree. Two
hours later it filed into court and the
verdict was read. The jury retired at
II o'clock Friday morning after listen
ing to Attorney Erwin's closing re-
marks and the judges charge. Ata:1o
it reported an agreement and at 2:3O
the verdict was rendered.
When Hayward appeared he was as
faultlessly dressed as usual and APP
parently as cool as ever, but he was
somewhat out of humor for he threw
his hat down on the attorneys table
with force enough to split it. His at
torney cautioned him not to exhibit
any temper and he subsidized.
The verdict presented, every eye was
turned to Hayward as the clerk started
to read the paper. There was nothing
in his face to indicate that he had heard
a word of it. He threw his head back

COLT IS ExoNERATED.

Ohio Militia Oncor's Work at Washing
ton Court House Approved.
COLUMBUS, O., March 12.-The find
ings of the special court of inquiry APP
pointed by Gov. Mckinley in the case
of the Washington Court House riot
ing and killing by the troops,
was made public Saturday. The
court finds that neither Col A.
B. Colt nor anyone in responsible
command was under the influence
of liquor in the slightest degree, but
the soldiers were permitted to visit
saloons during the day preceding the
firing, and at least three of them be-
came drunk. This is severely criticised.
The disposition of his troops and the
plan of defense made by Col. Colt are
thoroughly approved, and the severe
measures he finally resorted to to pre-
vent the capture aud lynching of the
prisoner, were fully warranted by the
defiant attitude and the repeated as
,saults made upon the. courthouse.
Col. Colt is, however, criticised for per-
hitting the arms of company to re-
main stacked and unguarded in easy
reach of the mob. The firing was fully
justified and the crowd had repeated
warnings to dispense. In approving
the finding Gov. Mckinley compli-
mented the troaps for their soldierly
action.
