Sick-poisOn is a poison which
makes you sick. 1t comes FROM the
stomach. The stomach makes it out
of undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it.
The way to be rid OF it is to look
after the diges ton.
! Ifyourfood is all properly digcsted,
there will be none left in the stomach
to make sick poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to
see to this properly by itself, help it
along with a few doses Of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure OF it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a de-
licious. healthful, tonic cordial, made
of pure medicinal plants, herbs and
wine.
1t positively cures indigestion and
prevents the formation Of sick-poison.

August Sundberg, who was at one
! time one of the proprietors OF the
steam laundry here, arrived in the
city Monday evening from st. Cloud.
Mr.. Sundberg is here for the purpose
OF looking up the matter OF reopen
ing the laundry. The machinery OF
the laundry was recently destroyed
by fire and the amount of insurance
allowed was attached by A. X. Hal,
who claimed that as the proprietors
of the laundry had agreed to turn
the building over to him in as good
! shape as when they took it, he was
entitled to part of the money for the
damage done to the building. The
matter is still unsettled, and Mr..
Sundberg thinks that the Swanson
Brothers., to whom he sold his
interest, will be able to start up
again in the near future. They will
| probably find new location.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Midnight Robber Attempts
the Life Of Otto ROble, at
Platte River.

Henry Green, who has been at
work watching the Muncy dan ON
Platte river, was in the city Friday
evening and told a story of sn at
tempt at murder. which occurred at
his camp Sunday June 81 Tine
attempt was evidently made tor the
purpose of ROBBERY, and the intended
victim, Otto Roble. OF this city,
escaped death by Il very narrow
margin.
Young Ro&sle was working with
Mr.. Green, anA as the latter was at
his home ia this city on that night
Roble was alone. Roble and Green
occupied as sleeping apartments an
old camp. and owing to the great
heat. q board was torn OH the build
ing near where their bed was located
for the purpose>of ventilation.
At some hour in the night Roble
was awakened by what he thought
wa, some one poking him for the
purpose oi awakening him. lie
asked what was wanted, and the
man told him to get up, quick, ana
help him laise the gates of the dam.
Roble hurrklly dressed himself ana
went out, and just as he got out the
door he was knocked down by some
one and rendered unconscious by
the blow. His assailant then robbed
him, only getting so cents and his re-
yOlver. When he recovered and
made an examination he found that
his under clothing had been cut and
there was also a cut, evidently made
by a knife, IN his chest. Further in
yestigation showed that there was
also u hole in the blankets with
which he was covered, and that
what he thought was an attempt to
awaken him was III reality an at
tempt to put him to sleep forever,
but the great thickness Of the blank
cts saved his life.
Mr.. Roble has no clue to his assall-
ants, but thinks it is some one OF the
men who were at work on the river,
and thought that he had been PAID
off, when he was in the city a few
days before.
The story seems strange in some
respects, but both Green and Roble
are reliable men, and would not fake
up a story like this for the purpose
of notoriety. Then, taking into &C.
count the many crimes that have
been mitted in this section OF the
state within short time, all OF
which were for the purpose OF rob-
= berry, the story OF this dastardly
attempt on Roble's life is very
probable.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A telephone message was received
by Judge of Probate Richardson
from Rich Prairie this morning stat
Ing that james Robinson had gone
insane. MIR. Richardson telephonel
for Deputy Sheriff Crest, who is ut
Rich Prairie today. to bring Robin
son to this city on his return.
Robinson was in this city a few days
ago. having just returned from the
Rum river drive where he had been
at work. No one in this city can
account for this misfortune that has
hefallen him.
LArER-Robinson was brought to
this city by Deputy Sheriff Crest and
is being examined in the probate
court this afternoon to determine as
to his sanity. 1t is evident that he
is demented. from the strange, dis
connected stories he tells. He has
some very strange Authorizations,
and to hear him tell about the many
runaway teams he met on the road
to this place, and the men sawed
out of boards and painted white
pursuing him, shows plainly the
the pitiablp condition Of his mind
Robinson has been II hard drinker
for several years past, and his trouble
may have began from that sources

arranged for Il fishing trip. and put
the frogs in Il large box in the office
During the night the frogs broke
through the paper cover ana
escaped. When Postmaster HOl-
brook reached his office he found 1T
alive with the jumping creatures,
and the whole office force engaged In
the unusual and undienified pursuit
of driving them ont. The invaders
were finally swept onto the SIDE

Brainerd Dispatch: Capt. A. Les
sard was in the city from Walker on
Wednesday and stated that he had
received notice to bring out the men
employed at the Lcech lake dam
July 9th, and he was informed that
the men were to be transferred to Gull
lake, where work was to be com.
menccd on the new government dam.
1t is altogether probable, however,
that the men will be put at work
on the break in the Pine river res
ervoir and that nothing will be done
at Gull lake until that is repaired.
which will take some time.

John SitzmaD, recorder OF the
village of Pierz, was in the city Mon
day. Mr.. SitZman says that thcpeO
pie there have come to thecOnclusiOn
that it would be best for them to
got an experienced man to place the
Pie1z water works in running order
again, and it is probable that a man
from Chicago will be sent for to do
the work. The explosion which &C.
Cured there Il few days ago did
considerable damage to the building.
They are considering plan OF build
ing large tank, for the reason that
the wells from which the water is
pumped will only furnish water for
about half hours pumping. The
scheme is to build a 2 800 barrel tank
at an elevation Of about twenty feet
from the ground, on the site Of the
present pumping station, which is
c. ,nsiderably higher than the village,
and this will assist the engine In
furnishing pressure. With tank
they would also be able to furnish
water for domestic purposes. TO
get their plant to work satisfac-
torily, the total cost is estimated
at $4,000.

Sent to the Asylum.

From Wednesdays Daily.
James Robinson. who TUESDAY
afternoon was examined in Probate
court as to his sanity, was adjudScd
insane and committed to the Fergus
Falls asylum. 1t was at first
thought that as his demented cen
dition was due in large measure to
heavy drinking that with n few
days medical treatment he would
recover. 1t was also thought that
some of his friends could be found to
take care of him for few days. No
one was found who would undertake
the task, and as he became some
what violent, imagining that parties
in this city were furnishing money
to have him arrested and other
absurd fancips. it was thought best
to send him to the Fergus Falls
asylum where he could receive
proper care and medical treatment.
Sheriff Rider took him to the asylum
last night. 1t is thought that his
denenteu condition is only tempo.
rarv and that with proper treat.
mpnt he will soon recover.
