MISS Alice Booth and Jerome Booth,
daughter and son of DR.. Booth" Miss
Bowman is a cousin our townsman,
Chas. Bowman, attorney, and young
lady of brilliant attachments, who will
doubtless gain distinction in the life
work she has chosen.
Two matters of considerable import.
snce have besn decided upon by the city
council. Oae Is that the city Is ia ur-
gent need OF a chemical fire engine and
the city recorder has been instructed to
correspond with manufacturers of chem
zeal apparatus. The other is a bridge
at the end OF north Main street. Resi-
dents in that part of town submitted a
proposition for a stone arch bridge
They offer to furnish the stone If the
city will construct the bridge, which is
baply needed, as it would be an outlet
to rather thickly settled country, to
cay nothing of the circumstance that the
almost impossible ditch which il IS de-
signed to span lies across the road to
the smelter.
After meals you shoald have simply 9
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. IL you do
you have indigestion, which means not
digestion. This may be the beginning
of so many dangerous diseases, that il
IS best to take it in hand at once and
treat it with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
For you know that indigestion makes
poison, which causes pain and sickness
And that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps
digestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this By providing
the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones UP
and strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy. This
is the rationale Of its method OF cure, as
the doctors would say. Sold by drug
gists, price 10 cents to 81 per bottle.

An HONEST OPINION.
A Great Newspaper Expresses Itself on the
Gold Standard.

A Great Newspaper Expresses Itself on the
Gold Standard.
When such papers as the London
Times, published in the certer of plu-
tocracy, in an atmosphere of banks
and bonds, having the largest creditor
class on earth as constituency, can
see the iniquity of the gold standard,
it is time for Anglo-maniacs on this
side to be silent. Here is what the
London Times, "Old Thunderer," has
to say for the single standard:
"If the single gold standard can be
forced upon South America and Asia, as
it has been since 1878 forced on North
America and Europe, gold must inevi-
tably appreciate to at least four times
its present absurd value, or to put it
otherwise, commodities must decline
to one-fourth of the present price and
labor all the world over be crucifed as
it was never cruciied before-in days
of medieval serfdo,n or even chattel
slavery. Such is the contest. II the
money lords can force monometallism
upon the whole world, they will sue
ceed in establishing the most gigantic
moneyed aristocracy among the rich,
and the worst system of peonage serf'
dom among the masses that has ever
cursed the hapless sons Of men,"
