When person is troubled with dys-
pepsia their stomach is not in a condi-
ton to digest their food, and all the
cathartics one can take will only add to
their trouble. But if Shelley's dyspep.
STA cure is used, it will get the stomach
in condition that the food will digest
easily and there will be no more dull
headache or pain in the chest. He has
sold it for twenty years and guarantees
it to cure, or refund the money.
A letter from Mi1t Schumacher says
he is in San Francisco, working at
painting at fifty cents a day, and
hundreds of idle men would like to
have his job at that price. He gets
a good substantial meal for five cents,
with bottle of grape wine for drink
and oranges thrown in,-and yet there
are many people kicking at Washing
ton. We would be willing to "chip
in" and send some kicker down to
Frisco to learn him a lesson. If our
people had to eat five-cent meals or
even serve them, our population would
quickly evaporate-,nany would drown
themselves at once. Very few in
Washington have any idea of ''hare
times" as it really is.

Lord, of the Capital National Bank,
has returned from the East with the
welcome news that the warrants for
the construction of the new state ca pi-
toll have been sold, although some time
is yet necessary for the purchasers to

shall rejoice with Olympia when work

think the capitol will never be built.
