SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER,

In his able work entitled LONGEVITY, %
published a few years ago, Dr.. John Gard
ner, of England, predicts that vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so retard
those changes that bring about old ace as to
prolong human life much beyond its present
limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro
duceo py TINS thought, many seminent ply
slc1ans havescalled from time to stime upon
the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire of
them concerning the secrets of medicinal
plants, In which these sincere, simple mind
ed and God-fearing people are known to be
wise and skillful beyond all other men.
The Shakers willingly toldswhat they had
learned, and in return received from their
visitors much valuable information about
disease; which they at once made practical
use OF. The most important point was that
1t genuine an certain remedy could be
found for indigestion and dyspepsia, and the
ailments growing out of it, long step
would be taken in the right direction. Old
age, said these physicians, begins in a failure
OF the digestion, and SO do most diseases at
any and all periods of life. The result of
the consultations was these discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made wholly
from herbs, and now known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Its action is magical and
worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating, heart
burn, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth,
biliousness, weakness and WEAKNESS, cold
hands and feet, aversion to food, nervous
ness, OF any other symptoms Of dyspepsia,
the Cordial will prove its curative virtues.
Behind it is the reputation of people
who have never defrauded or deceived their
fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no cost,
you may procure trial bottle for ten cents
of almost any druggist.

further up the avenue. The commit

Unwelcome Free Silver Speech at the

Champaign, Ill, Aug 19.-At the

Gordon of Georgia was announced to
speak in the afternoon on THE Last
Days of the Confederacy."
When the audience had assembled,
one of the largest of the encampment,
Mrs. Helen M. Cougar of Indiana who
had been speaking in the forenoon,
took the platform apparently to con-
clude her morning speech. Immedi-
ately she drifted into a free silver ar
gument and the audience became rest
less.
Finally there were Kisses and open
protests. increasing in force with calls
for Gordon, frequently repeated The
master of ceremonies arose and said
Mrs. Cougar would have to be heard
till she was through.
This did not quiet the protests, and
when Mrs. Cougar attempted to con
tinue large number of the audience
left and went to the headquarters tent
demanding their money back on the
ground that they had paid especially
to hear Gen. Gordon and would not
submit to a free silver speech instead.
In this dilemma Mrs. Cougar cut her
speech short and the senator from
Georgia took the platform.

VOTING CONTEST DROPPED.
Thought to be Inadvisable by Those
Concerned to Continue It Further.

concerned OOAH4Au0 II z
It has been thought best by those in
terested in and conducting the voting
contest for Queen of the Floral Festi-
val to end the contest at once. Some
dissatisfaction has been aroused and
as il was the intention to carry on the
affair without friction, it is felt that
to further push it would only be pro-
ductive of more unpleasantness And
it is desired that there be nothing un-
pleasant about any feature of the Fall
Festival 1t is unfortunate that there
was trouble but it has been impossi BILE
to overlook it.
Those in charge of the affair did their
best to stem the tide, but the contest
showed signs of going to pieces day
or two ago and it seemed that all ef-
possible.
No blame ought to be attached to
particular persons, as the diSaffection
seemed to pervade nearly all the par
ticipants; for one reason or another,
there were numerous Withdrawals of
candidates from the contest.
1t is supposed that the money paid
for votes will be turned over to the
Committee of Five, who are looking
after the floral float. They have about
S25 on hand that they raised by other
means and the contest money will in
crease this materially.
If the Committee of Five or any
other public spirited parties wish to
open a new contest or make any pro-
posal for the float, this paper will be
glad to give any assistance in its power

CATTLE GOING BLIND.
Strange Disease in Illinois Which

Farmers in BroOkfield township, just

blind and others are rapidly losing their
sight.

nothing in the authorities relating to
