We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is prac-
tically unknown, and that is the
Shakers of Mount Lebanan, N. Y.
These good people have been study
ing the subject of digestion for more
than a hundred years, and that they
understand it pretty thoroughly, is
evidenced in the foregoing fact.
Their Digestive Cordial Is the safest
and best remedy in cases of indiges-
ton that we know OF. A trial bottle
can be had through your druggists
for the trifl!ng sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already
digested. aid at the same time aids
the digestion of other foods. 1t will
almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no
sufferer need to he told what these
are.

A BOLD !. THIEF.
He Stole a Robe From Cutter
onFirst Street Tuesday
Evening.

Shortly before 6 O'Clock Tuesday
evening a very bold iob OF stealing
was done from the cntter Of B. j.
Hinkle, whicl, was left standing In
front Of futile & Sons jewelry store
on First street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinkle were in the
store and had not left the cutter ten
minutes when they returned and
found that their coOn-skin robe was
missing.
Mr.. Hinkle Immediately reported
his loss to- Chief Of Police Roy, and
his suspicious were directed toward
n gang Of five strangers who have
been hanging around u First street
SALMON for several days.
Following one vi them down To
the market he caught him in the act
Of taking the robe from u place OF
conceaImeDt, and the rulprit was
landed in the city lookup in less than
an hour after the stealing occurred.
When arraigned this morning
before Justice Shaw the man gave
his pane as Billy Williams. lie
recently came here from RoyaltOD,
where he worked about three weeks
for JOS. B~kborni as hostler ut his
motel.
TO the officer he stated that he
would not go hungry as long :s his
fingers were in good working order.
meaning that he was quite willing
to steal, and no doubt prefers that
way of getting a living to hard
work.
The officers were Of the opinion
that u sentence Ut ninety days, the
limit, would not be punishment to a
man like him, SO instead he was
given a very short space of time to
get out of town. The officers
escorted him and the others Of the
gang, who from their appearance,
are all sneak thieves, to the city
limits. and left them with strict
ibjunctiOns that If they returned
they would be given hard work and
small pay until spring.
