After meals you should have simply feel
ing Of comfort and satisfaction You should
not feel any special indications that diges
ton is going on Ifyou do. you have indi-
gestion, which means not digestion. This
may be the beginning Of 20 many dangerous
diseases. that it is best to take it in hand at
once and treat it with Shaker Digestive Cor
dial For you know that indigestion makes
poison, which causes pain aud sickness. Ard
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps diges-
tion and cures indigestion. Shaker Diges
tive Cordial does this by providing the di-
Restive materials in which the sick stomach
is wanting. It also tones up and strengthens
the digestive organs and makes them per
feetly heartily. This is the rationale of its
method of cure, as the doctors would say.

A Monster Marine Mammal.

No class of quadrupeds command so
large share of the peoples interest and
curiosity as the unique quadrupeds of the
sea, except, indeed, it be the sea quad
rupeds which at the same time are aul-
phibious brutes. The fact Of four-footed
animals living in the sea is curious
enough ofitself, but when this four footed
beast IS footed with cloven hoof, 2 tail
like an OK and horns like land bovine,
and can dwell as easily and as comiorta-
bly, on the land as in the sea, there, in
deed, is a wonder seldom-we almost
said never-seen, and we will say it was
never seen before in a show.
Il is a wonder which few, comparatively
speaking, of the amusement goers, ever
will or ever can see, for so difficult of cap
ture and so costly an undertaking is the
capture OF it. So rare are the mighty
monsters, now all but extinct, aud so
dangerous and hazardous is the hunt for
them, that in all the history the gone-be-
fore circuses of the world there has never
been seen one on exhibition. This ami
NAL is the monster "Bovalapus," to be
seen only with the Walter L Main Euor-
nous R. R. Shows which will positively
exhibit at Milford, on Monday, Septem-

A young man named Wiley from near
Greenwood came to Milford last Wednes-
day and got crazy drunk. His oaths in
front of Mrs. Carlisle's residence were of
the most horrible character, and he was
arrested by Officer Ward. A few hours
later his friends came with authority
from Alderman Graham for his discharge
which the officer was obliged to obey.
This kind Of Justice has become obnox
ious aud it is time Town Council called
their Alderman to an accounting. To
turn out a drunken blasphemer without
even giving him a hearing is travista of
Justice. Another habit is the failure to
give prisoners a hearing on Sunday morn
ing and holding until Mondays. This
is contrary to law, and could lead the town
into damaging lawsuits. If the alderman
can't discharge his duties he should re-
sign, or be removed
